Chapter 50 If you want to help without a boat, you will be ashamed and sage

"Qiyu Zhongtang, An Zhi believes that the second kneeling in this life is to kneel a 'rule'. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info”

"Rules?"

As soon as Li Hongzhang heard this, he became interested.

Seeing everyone's surprised or puzzled or thoughtful expressions, He Changying smiled and said loudly:

"What are the rules? The rules are square circles, Mencius said: without rules, you can't make a square circle; An Zhi was in Tianjin Customs Road yesterday, because An Zhi was originally a cloth cloth, and he did not go to the Taoist government to hand over the paper to fight a lawsuit, so he could not kneel to this 'rule' in the Taoist office; ”

Ding Ruchang's mouth was wide open as he listened.

――How can you still play like this?

Still a 'respected elder'? Well, of course, Lao Zhongtang is indeed a respected elder, but this kid is really shameless!

This sycophant is a 'snapping' sound.

"Haha, what a rule; You kid can mess around. ”

Li Hongzhang smiled with a long smile, which can be regarded as approving He Changying's sophistry about the 'rules'.

Sheng Huaixuan's face also became vivid again.

He Changying has already said very clearly, the reason why you don't kneel is because He Changying and you Sheng Huaixuan didn't have that friendship before, and he He Changying is not an official, nor is he here to fight a lawsuit, let alone come to pat your ass and want to get benefits from yourself, why do you let people kneel for no reason.

As for the kneeling just now, He Changying did not come to kneel to the power of the Lord Zhongtang, but in the name of the younger generation, he came to kneel to respect the elders in the township party.

With Li Hongzhang's smile, except for Ding Ruchang, who was depressed, the rest of the people in the lobby laughed, which can be regarded as acknowledging He Changying's smooth 'filling of the pit' and not burying himself in it.

However, He Changying spent so much time talking, and the purpose was obviously more than that, but Li Hongzhang didn't seem to understand another meaning of He Changying.

In what she said just now, He Changying used 'Yijie Cloth' twice in a row, indicating that she is now unofficial and unemployed.

And He Changying confessed that he was almost naked and did not wear underwear, and said frankly that the reason why he 'did not kneel' in Jinhai Daoya was also because he had no official position and could not enjoy the treatment of 'half-kneeling' of officials.

And they don't want to kowtow to the ground, and the common people see the officials kowtowing, so there is this debate of 'kneeling or not'.

But now it seems that his flattery has been thrown away.

"Zhongtang, An Zhi seems to have innocently brushed the top of the sentry officer, full of grievances? In just a few words, I used 'Yijie cloth clothes' twice in a row. ”

In Zhang Peilun's view, being an official is really worrying and laborious, how can there be such an unofficial scribe as himself, pointing out the country and laughing at the pleasure of the prince?

And in the depths of his heart, the monstrous fire on the countless warships in the port of Mawei, the roar of the French cannons, the mutilated corpses everywhere, and the terrible howls woke him up from time to time in the silent night, making his heart tremble and sweat.

Therefore, over the years, Zhang Peilun has repeatedly rejected Li Hongzhang's promotion, insisted on not wearing official clothes, and was relieved to be a master's staff member and give advice to his old father-in-law.

However, since He Anzhi wants to be an official, Zhang Peilun doesn't mind pulling him and reminding Lao Zhongtang.

Zhang Peilun's words, what He Changying listened to were one that hit the ear, especially the word 'innocent', which was nothing less than the finishing touch.

He gratefully gave Zhang Peilun, who was sitting opposite, a look of thanks, and Zhang Peilun smiled slightly, saying that it was a trivial matter and not worth mentioning.

He Changying's eyes of this frank and important official were suddenly also seen by the old civil official in his early fifties sitting diagonally opposite him, and he couldn't help but smile, thinking: This little doll is so daring, she went directly to the governor's yamen to ask for an official. ”

"Huh?"

Li Hongzhang listened to his son-in-law's words, but he was stunned, over the years, he had entered his governor's yamen and complained about asking for money, and it was really rare for such a frank official to do it.

"Haha, I didn't expect to write a good "Young China Says", saying that we are a group of old and stupid He Anzhi, it turned out to be an official fan; Gee. ”

Ding Ruchang, as Li Hongzhang's right-hand man, has followed Li Hongzhang for many years, plus he was originally a military general, so he didn't pay much attention to speaking in front of Li Hongzhang, and when he caught this topic, he laughed and continued to mock He Changying.

When Li Hongzhang heard Ding Ruchang say this, he was also smiling with wrinkles on his face, and wanted to hear how He Anzhi, who scolded himself for being 'old and faint' in this room, argued.

"Ding Junmen is a big fallacy!"

He Changying arched his hand to Ding Ruchang, who was sitting on the top left of him: "There is a way that it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice; Meng Haoran of the Tang Dynasty also once gave poems and words, 'If you want to help without a boat, you will be ashamed and sage.' Sitting and watching the anglers, there is nothing to envy the fish. Now when the country is in danger, since An Zhi does not want to 'live alone', then he must do something for the country and the people, and in China, if you want to do things, you must first be an official. ”

Speaking of this, He Changying stood up with a dashing wave of her sleeves, walked back to the middle hall in the different eyes of everyone, and bowed deeply to Li Hongzhang with a serious expression: "An Zhi entered the governor's yamen today, if nothing else, to borrow a 'boat' from the old man in the middle hall." ”

The room was quiet, and everyone was surprised to look at He Changying, who couldn't afford to worship, and then looked at Li Hongzhang, who was sitting on the throne of the high hall, and didn't know how Li Hongzhang would answer.

Sheng Huaixuan, Li Jingfang, Zhang Shiheng, and Zhang Peilun looked at He Changying, who was worshipping deeply, and stood from their different angles, and the four of them had a very good impression of this He Anzhi.

In May of this year, Zheng Guanying, the deputy director of China Merchants, recommended a guy named Sun Wen to enter the governor's yamen.

Although that guy is full of horses and talks about boundless reform and innovation, it is not without merit, but it is a pity that Lord Zhongtang does not want to see him, and as a result, Sun Wen is angry and doesn't know where to run now.

If Lord Zhongtang doesn't fulfill this kid's wish today, it is estimated that he will be another Sun Wen who doesn't know where to go tomorrow to be an 'official'.

"If you want to do something, you must first be an official, An Zhi's words are appropriate;"

Li Hongzhang still asked with a faint smile on his face: "If you want to help without a boat, I don't know what kind of 'boat' An Zhi wants to borrow from my governor's mansion?" ”

"Now the Oriental soldiers are Ma Huohuo, peeking at my Qing Dynasty, the kid just wants to borrow a battalion of heavenly soldiers from Lord Zhongtang to go to Pyongyang to pacify the Japanese and guard the gateway of Liaodong for my Qing Beiyang."

Seeing that the picture was poor, the water came out, and after so many tongues, He Changying finally said the real purpose of entering the governor's yamen today.
