12. Northern July (1)

"Yes, yes, what you said is ∷," Hearing Zuo Zongtang's comfort, Dong Tailai felt comfortable, and hurriedly wiped his tears and said, "The heart of the country, the world knows, serving the Celestial Empire is like serving parents, dare not have two hearts, although there have been Spaniards in the way over the years, but the hearts of the subordinates dare not change in the slightest," Dong Tailai took out the golden book that was originally placed in his arms, "This is the golden book given to the Sulu Kingdom by the Emperor of the Celestial Dynasty, and the subordinates dare not forget their identity." ”

The old prime minister jumped out again, "Yes, the minister of the Celestial Empire," he continued to speak in Chinese with a Teochew accent, "Just now the Celestial Empire bombarded Hele Island, and our Sultan thought that the Spaniards had come to seize the foundation of the Sulu State, and were about to hang themselves in their arms, doing their duty as a minister and being loyal to the Celestial Empire!" ”

Zuo Zongtang was quite moved, he couldn't imagine that China was in decline, and there was such a loyal country in the southern corner of the sky, and at the same time, he was slightly embarrassed by the words of the prime minister of Sulu, and pretended to scold Peng Yulin, "Nonsense!" How could you do it yourself without informing the King of Sulu! When I return to Fuzhou, the governor must refer to you! Peng Yulin also hurriedly saluted and apologized, or the king of Sulu stood up again, "Thanks to the minister's bombardment of Hele Island with artillery, this made those damn things stop burning the Chinese, Xiao Wang is not good, can not order the Sulu country, and even this catastrophe, although some people fled to the palace, but there are still many people suffering," the king of Sulu quickly knelt down again, "Please punish the envoy." ”

At this time, Zuo Zongtang didn't let people help King Sulu, but just twisted his beard and said lightly, "This governor is here to solve this matter, how do you mean to deal with these people, king?" ”

"Please also ask the envoy to call the shots," Zuo Zongtang, who was indifferent to the King of Sulu, and Peng Yulin, who was murderous, couldn't help but feel blessed, and when he shuddered, he said that he felt that the most correct decision he had made in his life in the future, "Please send troops to help my Sulu country and exterminate the thieves!" ”……

Boom, it happened to be the season of July, the rainstorm poured from time to time, but if the thunderstorm came, it went quickly, and it didn't take long for the heavy rain to be collected like the ocean line, and the sunset in the west dyed the dark clouds on the horizon with Phnom Penh, and the colorful glow filled the sky, everything in the city of Sijiu was covered with water and dewdrops, and the golden sun shone down, and the whole city was shining with gold.

Prince Gong got out of the carriage, his face was a little uncertain, the housekeeper was the most sensible person, seeing that the master was a little unhappy, he became more and more cautious when he was on errands, and hurriedly reported to a clever little guy to the inner house, and personally picked Prince Gong to get out of the carriage.

"Who's here today?"

"It's okay with other people, they are all ordinary people, only one Chen Zhongtang came in person, and the prince is still with the foreigners, so he can't see it, he just said that he will come to visit next time."

Hearing Chen Fuen's name, Prince Gong couldn't help but snort coldly, "Hmph," while saying that, Prince Gong unbuttoned the button around his neck and put down the sleeve of the horseshoe sleeve, "It's nothing good for a night owl to enter the house, but at this time, he remembered that I was the foreman of the military plane?" ”

"What did the master say," the foreign housekeeper hurriedly smiled, hearing the tone of Prince Gong's words, he knew that even if Chen Fuen came again next time, the prince would definitely be gone, "The people outside have all said it, now the master and the eight sages of the Song Dynasty are exactly the same, the prime minister and the government, the first hero of Qingtian's protection, although these words are a bit funny, but in the end, they are almost inseparable, if it is not for the prince to support it so much over the years, this can have such a prosperous situation?" If you change it to no one, that is, the prince can only show one or two! ”

Prince Gong's expression softened a little, and the master and servant bypassed a large Taihu Lake Stone that was about to fly through the sky, and the housekeeper was still patting on the back, "Don't say anything else, this governor will report to Beijing to report on his work, who dares not to come to the first one to meet the master?" Aren't you afraid that the master will give them small shoes? Or the master is benevolent, just say that this is the Zeng State Domain, so many years of the governor of Liangjiang now, everyone is red-eyed, everyone wants to let him move his seat, the master has a great merit, this is why he is in charge, if it is not the master, I don't know what the situation is now! ”

Prince Gong laughed, he has always boasted of his hard work, and the new policy of Tongzhi was presided over by himself, and the words of the foreign housekeeper happened to make Prince Gong very proud, "Okay, you flamboyant, go out on an errand, if Chen Fuen comes again, you can bring it in, this court matter, it's useless to lose your temper." ”

"Huh!" The foreign housekeeper saluted, "Myanmar has sent a fine jadeite, and it has been sent to Fujin now." ”

Prince Gong is a little strange, this Burma has not been in court for a long time, how can he suddenly offer jade, but this matter can not be asked by a subordinate, the head of the jaw said that he knows, bypassing a few open Zhengyan acacia trees, to the main house of the Guarjia clan in Changfu Jin, the Guarjia clan is accompanied by a few grandmothers and servants to pick something together, seeing Prince Gong come in, said with a smile, "Why is the prince here?" The foreigner's affairs were negotiated so quickly? (To be continued......)
