In the Qin Mission, Liu Rong sent Chonghou away, turned around, looked at Zeng Guofan and smiled bitterly, "Dashuai, Tianjin's affairs are a hot potato." ”

"It's hot," Zeng Guofan half-closed his eyes, his expression was leisurely and calm, "But the old man is not afraid, but this reputation is afraid that it will not sound good in the future." ”

Zeng Guofan said that it was a joke, but Liu Rong was miserable in her heart, and what she cared about most as the proprietor was the reputation of the people before and after.

"I don't know why, the DPRK and China have been able to work together recently," Liu Rong opened the topic, "The excerpt that attacked the marshal before has disappeared in the past few days, and Xu Tong even wrote a book, praising the marshal for his calm handling of Tianjin, and the safety of the foreigners' official figures." ”

"Immortals fight, mortals suffer." Zeng Guofan said inexplicably, "Chonghou thought it was just a moth made by a few relatives and nobles, let him sit on wax, this is true, but you forgot, the Queen Mother already knew about this, otherwise she would not have secretly given me the news of those people, you said, why didn't the Queen Mother give an order, fight quickly, and arrest these troublemakers one by one." ”

"The princes and nobles are a force that cannot be ignored in the court, the queen mother does not want to be easily offended, lest others have the meaning of the death of the rabbit and the fox, the change of Qixiang back then, the two iron hat kings were withdrawn at once, I am afraid that the clan has been apprehensive for many years," Liu Rong thought carefully and said, "Moreover, if you make a big fuss, you are afraid that the government and the opposition will criticize you, saying that the queen mother treats her relatives and nobles harshly, and only if she makes a big fuss, this will be a good name and punishment, and no one will gossip if you arrest people." ”

"You're right, you're not right," Zeng Guofan got up and asked his relatives to come up and change his clothes, first put on a four-regiment dragon mending suit, and then put on a court dress embroidered with cranes. put on the pearl again, "Tianjin is in chaos, who is the most anxious in the court?" ”

"Naturally, it's the Queen Mother."

"Nope! It's not the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is not in a hurry at all," Zeng Guofan picked up the official hat, and the opal top on it was shining. "The most anxious is Prince Gong, the most anxious is Li Hongzao, and the Queen Mother is the one who will not be in a hurry, she just needs to be like the Buddha and watch the people below make a fuss." Zeng Guofan said with a smile, "So, Xia Xian, you watch." Runzhi sent a letter, and a will will be issued soon, and the old man will be sealed, which is not what the Queen Mother meant. ”

“…… He ordered Zeng Guofan, the governor of Liangjiang, to concurrently serve as the governor of Zhili, and to take charge of Tianjin Province, dispose of the Tianjin teaching case, and use the power of arbitrariness to appease the foreigners. Comfort the people, impartiality and speed. I hope that the member can be on the body and live up to the hopes of the government and the opposition, and I hope to do this! "The angel shouted his will, and personally helped Zeng Guofan up," the minister of the Qin mission asked, "This angel is Prince Gong's most trusted prime minister, Yamen Zhangjing Ma Jinlin." The authority of this Hongzhang Jing, in Beijing, the general Shilang Siqing can not be compared, and after his brother died in the Battle of Bali Bridge, he is the first Eight Banners official in the court who is the most incompatible with foreigners. However, at this time, Ma Jinlin did not dare to be presumptuous in front of Zeng Guofan, nor would he come by his own will, he supported Zeng Guofan, "The secret fold of the Lord Qincha has been decided, and before he is subordinated, the king of the council has something to ask his subordinates to tell the minister of the Qincha: Please act at will in Tianjin, and no one in the court will delay the affairs here." ”……

The wind and lotus fragrance in the courtyard are far away, the lotus flowers in midsummer are blooming warmly, the air is walking with an intoxicating sweet fragrance, the queen mother holds an embroidered Tang poetry fan on the Jinao Jade Fly Bridge to enjoy the coolness, it just happens that the sunset has just set, and the evening breeze is slight, "Do you think the foreigner's fleet will come over?" The Queen Mother asked Wang Kaiyun, who was standing on the side.

"Whether this will be or not, it's all in the mother's thoughts." Wang Kaiyun said with a smile.

"The army of foreigners, how can I have the final say," the Queen Mother said with a smile, looking at the brightly lit Kyushu Qingyan not far away, there was no sound everywhere, only the sound of silk and bamboo outside the Shengping Department faintly came from the lake, "I am not the Queen Mother of France." ”

"If the Queen Mother wants to see the French fleet at Dagukou, then there is naturally a way, not let Zeng Guofan investigate those people, and if the foreigners in Tianjin die more, it is estimated that the French fleet will really come." Wang Kaiyun said that he was also very interested in the next situation, "If the Queen Mother can't think of it, let Zeng Guofan deal with it happily." Therefore, whether the French fleet will come or not is still up to the Queen Mother, and what others say doesn't count. ”

"Hahaha," the Queen Mother laughed, "Renqiu, I just like the way you speak, witty and humorous, not like those people outside, rigid and tight," the Queen Mother shook her head, "I naturally don't want to see the fleet of foreigners, so why do I want to give Zeng Guofan a list of those people?" ”……

"Since the Queen Mother is not in a hurry, why do you want to give the list of those people who are handsome?" Liu Rong was a little puzzled.

"What the old man just said, the gods fight, those clan relatives and nobles are not immortals at all, they are just some door gods who eat and wait for death," Zeng Guofan took the order and returned to his courtyard, hearing Liu Rong ask, Zeng Guofan smiled and said, "This immortal, Xia Xian, do you think that there are those people in the court who can be called the party now?" ”

"The people in the court, the first one is naturally Gong Dang, Prince Gong has been the foreman and minister of military aircraft for more than ten years, and he can be described as a Manchu official. Second, naturally there is also a party of foreign affairs, since the first year of Tongzhi, the great foreign affairs, the handsome is the first, Zuo Jigao, Li Shaoquan, Hu Runzhi, these are. ”

"What else?"

"And naturally, it's the Qingliu party." Liu Rong said with a smile, "The dead Li Tangjie, the sick Wuren, and Li Hongzao who occupies the military aircraft department, Weng Tonggong who went home to guard the system, and Zhang Zhidong of Hanyang, these are all so-called celebrities outside." Speaking from the outside, our Hunan people are also a party, and our Hunan people are the party, and the big handsome is naturally the party leader. ”

The two of them were in this ordinary inn, pointing out the people in the court, Zeng Guofan shook his head and smiled, "The Queen Mother and the party, why don't you say it?" ”

"Although the Queen Mother has so many confidants in the court, it is only a few Shangshu," Liu Rong said, "The Queen Mother has a tight grasp of the new army, and the people in the court still have to respect Prince Gong." ”

"That's right, so the Queen Mother is taking advantage of the situation," Zeng Guofan sighed, "Why a few days ago, no one was willing to come to Tianjin, Li Hongzao wanted to come, and Prince Gong also agreed, why was the Queen Mother not allowed?" ”

"Why didn't the Queen Mother personally issue an order to personally arrest the troublemakers in Tianjin? What are you waiting for, other than being difficult to do yourself? Why did the Queen Mother say that she was not worried about the ministers outside, and someone took advantage of Tianjin's affairs to let the Queen Mother continue to hang the curtain, Prince Gong and Li Hongzao actually worked together to give power to the old man to the end? Why, Prince Gong would say that there is no need to worry about the affairs of the court? Although Zeng Guofan asked rhetorically, he was not confused at all in his heart, obviously knowing the answer, "The matter in Tianjin, everyone thought it was a trivial matter, until the French fleet was sent over, and the Queen Mother wanted to continue to hang the curtain. Xia Xian, the intention here is very deep, the French fleet must not be here to fight, but in addition to worrying about the people, they also want to get a little cheap here in China, but no one knows what the foreigners think, in case there is a story in the Daoguang Xianfeng period, who would dare to say that the queen mother should withdraw the curtain? Is it just relying on an emperor who has never been in power? Prince Gong thought about the Queen Mother's return to power, and Li Hongzao and others also looked forward to the Queen Mother's return to government. "Zeng Guofan is worthy of being a masterpiece, and he analyzes everything he analyzes," but the Queen Mother realized this, was a little anxious, and twisted everyone into one heart. ”

"Then does the Queen Mother want to continue to hang the curtains?" Liu Rong was very useful, but at this time, she was still confused, and she didn't know what the court meant.

"Providence is unpredictable," Zeng Guofan shook his head, "The old man can't say it, it's just that he didn't stop Prince Gong and others from delegating power to the old man, and secretly gave the old man a list of the first chaotic people in the lesson plan. Zeng Guofan said, "The affairs of the court, how about it, I am too lazy to worry, naturally there are immortals to fight, I only do what I have to explain, wear my orders and arrest people!"
