Li Hongzao still wanted to say something, the prince also got up to tidy up the court clothes, but he also endured it, quietly snorted coldly, and temporarily put this matter aside, Jia Frame smiled and smiled, without saying a word, Bao Jun helped Wen Xiang up, Wen Xiang's knee was accidentally injured this winter, and his movement was a little inconvenient, Bao Jun quietly said in Wen Xiang's ear, "This beautiful mountain, blocking the emperor's financial road, was reprimanded, he really deserved it." ◇↓," with a look of schadenfreude, Wen Xiang shook his head, "I'm afraid there are other things, I'm just afraid," Prince Wen Xiang got up and went out, "Since then, the court has been troubled." ”

"Although the queen mother and the prince are harmonious, after all, the position of the court is like this," Baojun also understood, "At this time, in his position, he will have to fight for his power." ”

"Chonghou is our guarantee, presumably the Queen Mother can't be easily replaced, it's hard to succeed," Wen Xiang shook his horseshoe sleeves, "Who do you call?" There weren't many people in the Queen Mother's entrainment. ”

The group lined up in order, led by Prince Gong, and walked solemnly in two rows to the Yangxin Palace, just when Li Hongzhang walked out, he saw Prince Gong and hurriedly bowed - at this time, in front of the palace, it is not appropriate to pay a big salute, "King Yizheng." ”

"Have you seen the Queen Mother?" Prince Gong's face was faint, "What did the Queen Mother say?" ”

"The Queen Mother asked about Shanghai, and explained some errands, and Weichen also started to build a rubber factory in Shanghai, and the Queen Mother approved, funded by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and presided over by the Shanghai Governor Yamen."

"That's it, it's just a small way," Prince Gong Li Hongzhang, I saw Li Hongzhang bow his head slightly, and his back was straight, "I heard that your old Huaijun army is competing with the people in Shanghai for profit, and several silver trumpets have collapsed, and the king will not pay attention to these trivial things, but this silver trumpet has fallen, and the people who save money in it have made trouble, this is not a trivial matter, and if you are not careful, it will provoke the people to revolt." ”

Bao Jun squinted his eyes, the ministers of military aircraft had different expressions, Li Hongzhang frowned slightly, and was about to say something, when the prince of Xiangdun came out and grabbed Li Hongzhang, "Let's go, Tianxianglou has the number one fish lip stewed bear paw, this king wants you, the rich man, to be a treat!" Pulled Li Hongzhang, saw that Li Hongzhang did not move, and seemed to have just discovered Prince Gong and other military ministers, ha, "Sixth brother, the Queen Mother is waiting for you inside, why don't you go in?" I know how busy your military aircraft are, so I won't greet you here. ”

Prince Gong shouted Fifth Brother, and then shook his head helplessly, "Fifth Brother is still more cautious in the Heart Cultivation Palace, it's just that," Prince Gong Hongzhang, "You should pay attention to yourself and don't go to the big folds." Then crossed the two, and arrived at the front of the main hall, the little eunuch hurriedly opened the thick cloth curtain that sheltered the wind, and several people entered the main hall, and stepped into the Dongnuan Pavilion, and everyone quickly knelt down, only Prince Gong bowed slightly, which was considered to be the end of the salute.

Li Hongzhang turned his head and saw Prince Gong and the others entering the palace, and said gratefully to Prince Xuan, "Thank you Lord for relieving the siege, Weichen is very grateful." ”

"It's okay, who called you the god of wealth of this king? This king has to take care of you carefully, this big inside, it's not for you to be a governor to play," Li Hongzhang remembered the scene of the audience just now, and agreed with this very much, and nodded silently, "Okay, this king still has to serve in front of the emperor, you can go out by yourself, that bear's paw, wait for the New Year, and then wait for your host!" ”

Li Hongzhang responded, and then walked out of the Heart Cultivation Hall under the leadership of the little eunuch, walked a few steps under the long palace wall, and hurriedly caught up with a panting little eunuch running behind him, "Lord Li stays, and Grandpa An wants to see the adult." ”

An Dehai also hurried out of the Heart Cultivation Hall and made a thousand salutes to Li Hongzhang, "Ouch, Brother An, what are you doing, our brothers are still making this false ceremony, hurry up." "An Dehai is just posturing, seeing Li Hongzhang's politeness, his heart is also very appropriate," Lord Li," The two little eunuchs on An Dehai's side, the little eunuch was very knowledgeable, so he took a dozen steps back, "This time, the Queen Mother just remembered an important matter, and asked the slave to quietly order you," An Dehai said a few words in Li Hongzhang's ear, Li Hongzhang's body was shocked, and he quickly said yes, An Dehai said: "In addition, the slave himself also has a little little matter, and he wants to entrust it to Lord Li." He told him about his own affairs in detail, Li Hongzhang showed surprise on his face, but he didn't say anything, just responded.

Li Hongzhang came out of the Forbidden City, a magnificent Western carriage had been waiting outside for a long time, got into the carriage, Li Hongzhang didn't speak for a long time, and waited until the carriage was chaveted, and when he passed Dongjiaomin Lane, Li Hongzhang opened his eyes, "Yushan, do you think the Queen Mother knows that I made Peng Yulin?" ”

"The selection of the commander of the Western Expedition should not be delayed any longer," the Queen Mother's neat voice sounded, "Zuo Zongtang, the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, is transferred to the governor of Xinjiang, the minister of Qincha, what does the Military Aircraft Department think?"
