“…… Woof! To taste the heart of the ancient benevolence, or to do something different. What is www.biquge.info about the pen? Don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself; The height of the temple is worried about the people; Far away from the rivers and lakes, you are worried about it. It is a worry about advancing and a worry about retreating. But when will it be? It must say: "The worries of the world are worried, and the joy of the world is happy" ......"
Yueyang Tower!
Again, staring at the Yueyang Tower on Yuezhou City. Zhu Yifeng silently recited Fan Zhongyan's "The Story of Yueyang Tower", and when he recited the two sentences "The worries of the world first, and the joy of the world after the world", he couldn't help but say loudly.
"Can the Metropolitan Governor know the origin of this famous sentence of Fan Wenzhenggong?"
Listening to the words of the Grand Dudu, Zhang Liangji asked out loud, at this time, he only needed to look at the braids that were cut off to show his heart, "Han thieves don't grow hair", and because of this, this cut braid to a certain extent marks a person's position, unlike the extremely ugly yin and yang head of a few people who do not shave after scissors and braids, because after being locked up in prison for several months, Zhang Liangji, whose hair has been long, did not cut his hair short after cutting off his braids, but tied his hair more than a foot long into a bun and coiled it on the top of his head, even changed into a Ming-style Confucian robe.
This, too, is a position!
Reciting silently, Zhu Yifeng, who was thinking in his heart, didn't answer immediately, but in fact couldn't answer at all. And Zhang Liangji only thought that he was the governor of the capital, and he said thoughtfully.
"Those who are happy with the people, the people are also happy; Those who are worried about the people, the people are also worried. Joy in the world, worry in the world, but not the king, there is no ......"
When revealing the source of Fan Wenzheng's sentence, Zhang Liangji's expression seemed a little strange, and he looked at the Metropolitan Governor with a rather complicated eye, which was not only an explanation of the source, but also a kind of euphemistic persuasion.
After pondering for a moment, Zhu Yifeng, who had already realized his deep meaning from his words, said with a solemn expression:
"The worries of the world are worried, and the joy of the world is happy, and those who want to win the world should be so open-minded!"
After that, Zhu Yifeng smiled slightly, and Zhang Liangji was also smiling, and for a while, the two ministers only used that silent smile to complete a collusion.
"Shi Qing, are you familiar with Zeng Guofan?"
"Okay!"
In the face of the Duke's inquiry, Zhang Liangji used an extremely subtle word to describe the relationship between the two, in fact, if he did not have his full support, how could there be a large delegation of Hunan Province run by Zeng Guofan.
"Runzhi and Zeng Disheng have a deep relationship!"
Zhang Liangji's words Zhu Yifeng nodded, but it was Hu Runzhi, together with Zuo Zongtang and Zeng Guofan, they also had a deep friendship, and Hu Runzhi and Zuo Zongtang were even more relatives, and Hu Linyi's wife was Tao Shu's seventh daughter Jingjuan. According to generation, Zuo Zongtang is one generation higher than Hu Linyi. But in fact, Zuo Hu is the same year, and Hu is four months older than Zuo, so between the two, they have always been called brothers.
Although Zhu Yifeng is eager to seek talents, he can't wait to use all the famous ministers and virtuous officials in the world, but this relationship between his subordinates makes him have to deal with it carefully. It is precisely because of this that after Zhang Liangji returned to obedience, Zhu Yifeng naturally kept Zhang Liangji by his side, the reason is very simple Zhang Liangji's ancestral hometown is Tongshan, Jiangsu, although he is familiar with Hu Zuo, but it is only a little personal friendship, far from a lot of relationship, so it should naturally be reused.
And shrewd as Zhang Liangji said that he had never guessed the intentions of the governor, but he also guessed his concerns. At least guessed some of his concerns, not only did he feel different, but he felt that this was the foundation of his ability to achieve great things, those who want to be kings must choose to use power, and the root of power is balance, if they have one heart, how can they be used by people!
"Zeng Disheng is really a loyal minister of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and in the opinion of the minister, it is extremely difficult to say that he will surrender!"
Sometimes a little bit needs to be said by a courtier, for Zhang Liangji, who has been in the sea for decades, he naturally knows what he should say, what to do, and what role he should play.
"Runzhi values friendship, and the governor of the capital is also kind-hearted, how can he not fulfill Runzhi's desire for full friendship, it can be seen by the minister, this Zeng Disheng wants to be a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty, and his mind is as solid as a rock, far beyond the reach of the minister, how can he be moved by the words of others!"
Zhang Liangji's words undoubtedly reached the bottom of Zhu Yifeng's heart, he couldn't help nodding, and Zhang Liangji noticed the actions of the metropolitan governor, but he only bowed his head slightly, people are always selfish, maybe Zhang Liangji has surrendered to the righteous army, but under selfishness, he knows that if Zeng Guofan surrenders, it will definitely affect himself, it is not only the great enemy of the righteous army, but also the great enemy of him Zhang Liangji who will be the prime minister in the future.
With such selfish intentions, Zhang Liangji made the simplest choice, which was also the safest choice for the rebels without any risks.
Zhu Yifeng, who seems to agree with Zhang Liangji's opinion, has a voice deep in his heart, constantly telling him that he should "cherish talents for the country", not so much "cherish talents for the country" as for himself, this Zeng Guofan is indeed a talented person, and history has long proved this.
It's a pity to kill such a talent!
It is precisely because of this that he will attack Yuezhou without besieging it, leaving seven points of leeway. Of course, on the surface, this is all to take care of the "friendship" of the courtiers, and it is at the invitation of Hu Linyi.
But if he is not killed, this Zeng Guofan is very likely destined to become the biggest obstacle to the overthrow of the Manchu Qing by the rebel army in the future. Such a person really can't be kept!
If not...... Look at Zhang Liangji beside him, see if he is directly captured, and slowly "boil" it, one day, he will always figure it out!
But...... Just as he was thinking about it, Hu Linyi, who had just finished dealing with things, walked over excitedly, first saluted the Metropolitan Governor, and then he said.
"Metropolitan Governor, since this Changsha has fallen, I think in a few hours, Zeng Disheng's side should get the news! The minister asks the governor to agree with the minister to personally persuade him to surrender to my righteous army! ”
Although he knew Zeng Guofan's personality, Hu Linyi was still full of hope, in his opinion, since he could "choose the virtuous lord", how could he be as shrewd as Zeng Guofan and not know the trend of the world.
Hu Linyi, who was thinking about returning his friend's love in the snow, turned to Zhang Liangji again and bowed deeply.
"When the time comes, please ask Mr. Shi Qing to write a letter by hand, and Hu will bring it to Zeng Disheng."
"This is what it should be, it should be, if Runzhi can persuade Zeng Disheng, he will recruit a talented person for the capital, wouldn't this be the luck of my righteous army, Liangji should serve his life!"
Zhang Liangji's expression was extremely sincere.
"This Zeng Disheng is the great sage of the world, if you can say that he surrendered, Runzhi, you have made another great contribution to my righteous army!"
With such praise in his mouth, Zhang Liangji raised his eyes and looked at the Metropolitan Governor, and then his eyelids drooped slightly, and he smiled coldly in his heart.
And his mind is as solid as a rock, far beyond the reach of his ministers...... Zhang Liangji's words once again surfaced in Zhu Yifeng's mind.
This Zeng Disheng is indeed a great sage in the world!
But if Daxian can't use it, then it's a problem for his henchmen, and since it's a trouble for his henchmen, then he can only make up his mind!
When he secretly made up his mind like this, Zhu Yifeng bowed to Hu Linyi with a solemn expression.
"Runzhi, I actually want you to put yourself in danger for my righteous army to cage your talents, Runzhi's feelings, Zhu will remember it in his heart!"
Hu Linyi, who knew that there was a difference between the top and the bottom, dared to accept this salute, but hurriedly avoided his body, and Mougins returned the salute.
"The Metropolitan Governor is in Lin Yi's love, Lin Yiyan can not know, he can only repay the kindness of the Metropolitan Governor! Please rest assured that the Governor will try his best to persuade Zeng Disheng to make him use by our righteous army......"
Although Hu Linyi's words of gratitude moved Zhu Yifeng a lot, when he left, a voice appeared in his heart.
He couldn't convince him!
"The Metropolitan Governor, the minister is afraid that instead of persuading Zeng Disheng, it will backfire and make him make up his mind!"
When Hu Linyi was far away, he noticed the face of the Grand Duke, and Zhang Liangji said conveniently.
"Huh?"
Looking at Zhang Liangji in surprise, Zhu Yifeng's face was a little suspicious, and at the same time motioned for him to continue.
"Metropolitan Governor, at this time, Zeng Disheng defended Yueyang, and was attacked by my land and water divisions, and the benefits of our righteous army's firearms were far more than it, and he must hesitate at this time to defend or leave, if the fall of Changsha is reported, with Zeng Disheng's shrewdness, and I don't know the reason why Yuezhou cannot be defended? And Runzhi took the liberty to lobby it, although it was a friendship in the past, but in Zeng Disheng's view, this was his last chance to leave Yuezhou, so how could he miss it? ”
"Shi Qing, you mean that he has to escape?"
His brows jumped slightly, and Zhu Yifeng immediately asked.
Zeng Guofan will flee, this is not unexpected, in history has the name of "repeated defeats and wars", Zeng Guofan, its will can be said to be beyond people's imagination, if he sees this Yuezhou is a place of death, he will definitely not have the will to die and Yuezhou coexist, if he escapes...... In the future, he will have a "repeated defeat and battle" with himself, and it is not a good thing to have such a strong-minded guy on the side!
"The governor of the capital, the minister thinks that the tiger must not be let go back to the mountain!"
Finally, Zhang Liangji said his thoughts, but he must say this sentence, not only for himself, but also as a subordinate, some hats must be borne by him, as for the king...... Well, you only need to take care of the friendship, just like before, isn't it already the friendship of Hu Linyi?
Don't let the tiger go back to the mountain!
Sighing at such a sentence, Zhu Yifeng's mood seemed to be a little heavy, his brows frowned, he shook his head slightly, and seemed to be still hesitating, while Zhang Liangji bowed deeply again.
"Please ask the governor to be the future of my righteous army, and there must be no kindness of a woman!"
Another request, in the face of Zhang Liangji's request, Zhu Yifeng sighed and his eyes narrowed slightly, and asked in a deep voice.
"Then in Shi Qing's opinion, where will he flee?"
"Jiangxi!" (To be continued.) )
