Seeing that he stood in a row to greet Mai Ke, without revealing any flaws, and Mai Ke also happily walked into the banquet hall, Zeng Guoquan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

I remember that when this decision was made yesterday, everyone quarreled and spent half a day and a night outside before finally reaching an agreement, and the whole process is still in front of me.

said that it was unanimous, but it was also very reluctant, in fact, he used the identity advantage of Qin Cha to force it through, and he also pulled the eldest brother out to strengthen his momentum, so as to stop the voice of opposition.

He came all the way from Hunan, and he was determined to take the opportunity to destroy Mai Ke!

This is the consensus between him and his eldest brother, although Zeng Guofan appreciates Mai Ke's talent very much, and even has a little personal relationship, and also hopes that he will cure his psoriasis radically, but in order to save the Qing Dynasty, he must be ruthless and get rid of this big trouble!

He understood two things: first, it was impossible for Mai Ke and the Qing Dynasty to coexist, and second, Mai Ke would never be used by the Qing Dynasty.

Therefore, if you want to be immortal, the only way to do this is to destroy Mai Ke.

Mai Ke sent troops to Annam, and Zeng Guofan still had illusions at first, and the two sides would lose and solve two troubles in one fell swoop, which would be the most ideal.

When the expeditionary army was victorious, Zeng Guofan adjusted his fantasy again, and Mai Ke occupied these vassal states, proclaimed himself king on the spot, and became a vassal of Daxin.

Seeing Mai Ke establish the Holy City and establish the covenant, he knew that his second illusion was also shattered.

At first glance, it is an idea with unlimited room for development, and it is currently expanding beyond the Qing Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty seems to be safe. But it won't be long, and the Qing Dynasty will be the target of expansion like other regions.

As soon as he heard that Mai Ke was going to return to China, Zeng Guofan knew that this worst-case prediction had become a reality, and that it was imminent to not only become a reality, but also to speed up.

Therefore, although Zeng Guoquan was not the most suitable person to announce the decree, and he also knew that Lu Dao would definitely cause trouble according to his character, he still sent him there. It's just to stop Mai Ke!

If it succeeds. Very good, if it doesn't work out, at least add a little mess to him and let him restrain himself.

Zeng Guoquan fully understands the anxiety of his eldest brother, so he must take this opportunity. The main one for beating the wheat keeping. He expects obstacles. But when I really implemented this idea, I didn't expect the resistance to be so strong!

When he offered to welcome Mai Ke back, he was surprised. Kill him in one fell swoop, and two and a half of the four disagree!

Those who disagree are Lo Chongguang and Xiang Rong.

Xiang Rong had a fiery temper, and immediately scolded: "Your uncle is too unrighteous! Mai Ke was born and died, and finally came back alive, but you stabbed him in the back? Are you a human uncle?"

Xiang Rong scolded people like this, on the one hand, it was indeed out of conscience, and on the other hand, it was because he saw that Zeng Guoquan was too young, his mouth was hairless, he couldn't do things firmly, and he didn't do anything more.

Rao is Zeng Guoquan was ready to face opposition, and when he encountered Xiang Rong's old and rough military style, his face turned red all of a sudden, and his neck was two inches thicker.

Since then, there has been a gap in his heart.

Lao Chongguang's thoughts are basically the same as Xiang Rong's, perhaps because the two are old partners, but it is much more euphemistic to express it:" I think it's debatable to do it at this time, although I also know that this Mai Ke is not a good type, and it will definitely bring a fatal threat to the Qing Dynasty in the future, and if you don't do it quickly, it will be tantamount to raising tigers; but we must take into account the adverse effects on the Qing royal family if we kill the heroes; on the other hand, we should also pay attention to the fact that he has occupied so many places in Annan and other places, and has turned those places into the backyard of his family, what if he is killed and provokes a fierce backlash?"

Lao Chongguang's words made everyone have to think more, and everyone fell silent for a while.

"Brother Li, what do you say?" Although Li Hongzhang is Zeng Guofan's nominal student, and he himself always calls Zeng Guofan a teacher, Zeng Guoquan and Li Hongzhang still talk about each other as brothers and call him the eldest brother.

As a student of Zeng Guofan and a member of the core group, Li Hongzhang must be consistent with Zeng Guoquan, but at this time, he feels that it is really unacceptable.

So, he pondered for a long time before he slowly spoke: "I know that the Dao must get rid of Mai Ke! This determination has been very clear and has always been very firm since the last time I purged him! We tolerate him and use him, but because he can do something we want, and once there is no longer this value, we will click and ......."

"Yes, the cunning rabbit is exhausted, the lackeys are cooking!" Zeng Guoquan dropped a sentence from the bookbag.

"However, the cunning rabbit is not over yet!" Li Hongzhang said with a sad face.

Seeing that his schoolbag is not falling off, Zeng Guoquan doesn't care, if it is dropped, you can be proud of your civil and military skills; if you don't drop it well, it doesn't matter, your specialty is to be brave and good at fighting, and defeat the enemy!

"Then what is Brother Li's opinion? Don't forget, the fighter plane is fleeting, and there will be no such shop in this village after that! Think about it, when will you have the opportunity to get in touch with Mai Ke so closely next time? Will you fight Annan again? He swept away so many countries once, and next time all countries will be swept away by him!"

Not to mention, his shouting really reminded the other three of them of the other side: killing Mai Ke now is a bit unrighteous, but it's better than being killed by him and then getting a righteous name, right?

First of all, it is this attitude of supporting Zeng Guoquan no matter what, Li Hongzhang said: "Ahem! I can't care so much, just kill Mai Ke and find an excuse to give him a thick burial, let him die a beautiful death, and leave a name in the world." I'm in favor of killing Mai Ke now!"

Now it's two to two.

At this time, Zeng Guoquan threw out another bombshell: "My eldest brother also has this opinion! This opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and we must not be merciful!"

Zeng Guofan's prestige and ability were beyond Zeng Guoquan's reach, so after he saw that the discussion was at a stalemate, he immediately made a decision and asked Zeng Guofan to break the deadlock.

In fact, he played a little trick - Zeng Guofan asked him to act cheaply, and did not give him a clear opinion, and asked him to kill Mai Ke.

However, in terms of nature, he did not go against the intention of his eldest brother, because he was allowed to act cheaply, including this practice of killing Mai Ke.

But these two different expressions are very different for Lao Chongguang and Xiang Rong!

Because they all know that all these things are under the control of Zeng Guofan, who is the minister of the Qin Mission!

And including Zeng Guoquan and Li Hongzhang, they are only assistant Qincha, in other words, the assistant Qincha only conveys Qincha's instructions, and Qincha's instructions come directly from the emperor!

Therefore, as soon as such high pressure was applied, Lao Chongguang quickly adjusted his views and supported killing Mai Ke.

The most stubborn old stubborn Xiang Rong still doesn't support it in the end, but he doesn't object to doing it.

At this point, the decision to cook the lackeys first was finally passed.
