Seeing off Dai Yuanhua, Li Zhen strode into the hall.

At this moment, Wei Yuan was still waiting.

He heard footsteps coming from outside the hall, and immediately stood up, with a smile on his face, and said happily: "Hongyi has returned to Guangzhou, what are the next arrangements?" ”

Li Zhen waved his hand for Wei Yuan to sit down, and he also sat down above the hall.

Immediately, Li Zhen said: "Wei Lao guess what arrangements I have next?" ”

Wei Yuan stroked his beard under his chin, squinted his eyes slightly, and thought carefully before he said: "It is definitely not a simple matter for the emperor to let you go to Beijing to report on your work. The little devils in the southeast are not in the climate, and Yangyi is something that the emperor does not dare to touch, and the only thing left is the bandits. The old man guessed that you were going to Nanjing to suppress the bandits. ”

Li Zhen's eyes widened, and he secretly said that the old man was really powerful.

Everything is in Wei Yuan's prediction.

Wei Yuan took a sip of tea and continued: "It is not difficult to guess the emperor's thoughts, although there are a group of old courtiers in the court and the opposition, they are all exhausted. Only you are young and energetic, as long as you think about the emperor's henchmen a little, you can easily deduce it. ”

Li Zhen nodded and said: "The old man is reasonable, the emperor has appointed me as the minister of the Qincha to reorganize the camp in Jiangbei. Moreover, the emperor gave me the right to cut first and then play. Next, I will lead the army north to Yangzhou and start dealing with the Taiping army. ”

Wei Yuan laughed and said with a smile: "The emperor values you so much, it seems that you will become an auxiliary minister of the imperial court just around the corner." In the future, you will definitely be the pillar of the Great Qing Kingdom! ”

Wei Yuan's eyes were full of expectation, hoping that the Manchu Qing would rise.

Seeing this, Li Zhen secretly shook his head in his heart, the old man is full of heart after all!

However, Li Zhen was not reconciled.

Such a national treasure-level figure, such a person who has begun to see the world with his eyes, he is unwilling to give up. The longer the contact, the more Li Zhen wanted to change Wei Yuan and let Wei Yuan help him. Li Zhen's face changed slightly, and he said in a low voice: "Old man, Zhilan was left in Beijing and did not go back to Guangzhou with me. ”

"Ahh

Wei Yuan exclaimed, and his face suddenly changed.

Li Zhen ignored Wei Yuan and continued: "I went to Beijing with Zhilan to report on work, and after arriving in Beijing, Zhilan found out that she was pregnant. Lao Langzhong said that Zhilan was pregnant with twins, and he didn't know whether the children in his belly were male or female, or dragon and phoenix fetuses. Because of an order from the emperor, Zhilan stayed in Beijing and could not follow me south. ”

After a pause, Li Zhen said in a deep voice: "When I returned to the house, my sister also asked about Zhilan. I said that Zhilan was pregnant and not suitable for long journeys. ”

Wei Yuan chuckled in his heart, there was resentment in his words!

As the saying goes, there is no doubt about employing people, so why can't Xianfeng be generous? Wei Yuan felt helpless for a while, and comforted: "Hongyi, you are already in a high position at a young age, and the emperor naturally can't rest assured. Throughout the ages, the family members of important officials of the imperial court have not stayed in Beijing as hostages, which is a practice that has been carried down to this day, and you are no exception. Unless you plan to enter Beijing as an official and hold an important position in the court. ”

Li Zhen smiled coldly and said, "Old Wei, you have always read thousands of books, and you are a person who has passed through the Huan Sea, don't you understand the truth that you don't suspect that you don't need to use suspicious people?" Besides, Zhilan is pregnant with a child, can I not worry? ”

After Wei Yuan heard this, he could only try to comfort Li Zhen, help Xianfeng intercede, and think of resolving Li Zhen's grievances.

Li Zhen saw Wei Yuan's expression and knew that the old man was also a little dissatisfied with Xianfeng.

What he wanted was this effect, so that the old man was gradually disappointed in Xianfeng, who was a bandit. In fact, Li Zhen did have a grudge against Xianfeng, which was already suppressed in his heart, and said with a forced smile: "Old man, I will exterminate the bandits as soon as possible." Because I promised to rush to Beijing before the birth of the child in Zhilan's belly, I will definitely complete it as soon as possible. ”

Wei Yuan smiled and comforted: "Just do your best!" ”

Regarding the extermination of bandits, Wei Yuan was not very optimistic about Li Zhen. Even if Li Zhen is already a world-famous person, Wei Yuan is also not optimistic, after all, the Taiping army occupies a corner, and it is not so easy to exterminate.

Li Zhen didn't dwell on this issue, and said with a smile: "The old man is looking for me, is there anything wrong?" ”

Wei Yuan nodded and said, "The old man came to you, on the one hand, it is to enter Beijing steadily, and on the other hand, to talk about the recent Kyushu Daily." After half a year of development, Kyushu Daily has spread all over Guangzhou, and its influence is getting bigger and bigger, and it is no longer limited to a single situation such as articles, but also drives many other things, which has become a major feature of Guangzhou. ”

Li Zhen smiled: "Isn't this goal exactly what Wei Lao thought?" ”

Wei Yuan nodded and said, "Indeed, that's the case. ”

Li Zhen said: "Old Wei, you don't need to publicize the matter of me going to Yangzhou to suppress bandits, so as not to pull out the matter of Zhilan and cause an uproar." When the time came, I quietly led the army out of Guangzhou, and the attention of the people was relatively low. In this way, Zhilan's affairs should be able to be suppressed. ”

Wei Yuan thought about it and did not object.

After all, if the people really know about this, the people will definitely be disappointed in Xianfeng, and people's minds will change. He listened to Li Zhen's words, recognized Li Zhen even more, and completely regarded Li Zhen as a real and honest person. It's a pity that the old man didn't know that Li Zhen had other thoughts, and he wanted to gradually change his mind.

Li Zhen said again: "Old Wei, I want to hold a banquet in the evening, you come together and have a good time." ”

Wei Yuan nodded in response, then got up to say goodbye.

Li Zhen walked towards the backyard, there was no hostess in the backyard, because Gu Lina and Alice sisters were still taking care of business outside, and they didn't know that Li Zhen was back, only Li Xiaotong was at home. Li Xiaotong saw Li Zhen and said with a smile: "Hongyi, how many months has the child in my younger sister's belly?" How's it going? ”

Li Zhen said with a smile: "It's about the same as the child in my sister's womb, I was pregnant in December last year." It's half a year old now, and a child will be born in the second half of the year. The doctor who checked said that the children in Zhilan's belly are twins, and I don't know if they are men or women for the time being, but I want a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, a man and a woman are the best. ”

At this moment, with time to chat, Li Zhen made the news clear.

Li Xiaotong said in a deep voice: "In this case, why did Zhilan stay in Beijing? After a pause, Li Xiaotong looked up at Li Zhen and said slowly: "I'm afraid this is not what you meant, it is what the emperor meant." Your own woman is pregnant with twins, how can you possibly let him stay in Beijing? You tell the truth, it was not ordered by the emperor. ”

Li Zhen nodded and said with a smile: "Sister is so smart!" ”

"Dog Emperor!"

Li Xiaotong scolded and said: "I don't have any open-mindedness, I'm really faint." ”

When Li Zhen heard this, he immediately laughed.

This sister of his is really different!
