19. Take the lead (Wu)

"This matter, it's not so fast, after all, relying on two rivers and one place, this thing can't be done, I mean, first ask the Queen Mother's decree, the Prime Minister's Yamen, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Internal Affairs to do it together, let's naturally have a little money, if it's a small fight, wouldn't it be a loss of the identity of the prince? Therefore, if the prince is interested, the lower official will leave a share for the prince first, and in the future, when the prince is free, it will not be too late to send me the money. △¢,”

Prince Xuan frowned and smiled, "Also, it's hard for you to still think about me, a prince who has no power and no power, although there are a lot of money now, but the expenses are also large," Prince Xuan did not hesitate, "There are so many people in the family who have to be raised, so this economic way must also be good." ”

Li Hongzhang was flattering, and the prince was also very happy, seeing Li Hongzhang raise his head from time to time at the door of the heart hall, knowing Li Hongzhang's thoughts, he laughed, "You don't have to eat, although there are certain rules in the order of this visit, but it is also a matter of priority, although this sublime is before you, it may not be a good thing, and besides, you are the queen mother's one-handed simple pull, it was the queen mother's entrainment, the queen mother put you behind, presumably to talk to you for a while." ”

"The prince is serious, I don't have that kind of thought," Li Hongzhang hurriedly eased his face and said to Prince Xuan, Li Hongzhang suddenly remembered something, "I don't know how the Military Aircraft Department dealt with Peng Yulin's matter?" ”

"How do I know that?" Prince Xuan's face showed a simple expression, "If you are not in his position, I will not seek his own government, I will be the minister of the imperial front, what do you still bother with, but this Peng Yulin did not enter Beijing, so there must be no disposition."

The Queen Mother was noncommittal, and said, "The emperor will go on." ”

As soon as the words came out, the hall was shocked, Chen Shengqiang, who was standing outside the Dongnuan Pavilion with his back to everyone, couldn't help himself, so he didn't look back, just pricked up his ears and listened carefully, for fear that he would miss a few words inside, Emperor Tongzhi held a belly fire in his heart, and paused for a while, if he said it, he was afraid that it would be a reprimand, Emperor Tongzhi thought for a while, and said-This is the first time that the emperor has summoned ministers since the curtain of the Tongzhi Dynasty spoke, "This Tianjin foreign affairs are done well, you have merit." ”

"The emperor praises it, and the slave is ashamed."

"It's not a high praise, it's to tell the truth, you have a lot of credit in the salt administration, you know the way of economy, when you arrive in Tianjin, the railway was built in less than a year, I went to Tianjin quickly and well, business and trade are frequent, how is Tianjin, I have seen it, it is very good, this is your credit.
