Chapter 133: The Principal and Deputy Ghost Envoys

Prince Gong couldn't help but be very annoyed when he saw that everyone was silent, he coughed lightly, and was about to speak, but he happened to meet Wen Xiang's gaze. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

"This envoy should select capable personnel who are familiar with foreign affairs." Bao Jun said, which can be regarded as relieving everyone, "The minister thinks that he can ask the governors of the provinces and the General Administration to recommend one or two talents, and choose the best ones." ”

Weng Tongyi couldn't help but be even more surprised when he saw that Baojun, who was not quiet on weekdays, had also changed his sex, and he noticed that although Wu Ren and Song Jin were still silent on their faces, they could also see a strong sense of doubt in their eyes.

Weng Tongyi remembered that Prince Gong had changed his attitude to support the Empress Dowager Cixi's garden repair, and suddenly understood why Baojun came out at this time.

When Emperor Xianfeng fled to Rehe, he wanted to raise 200,000 taels of silver to repair the Rehe Palace, but he gave up under the fierce opposition of Prince Gong and Baojun. Xianfeng was furious, and dismissed Baojun's Minister of Internal Affairs for this matter, and his rank was also lowered from the second rank to the fifth grade. Later, the Empress Dowager Cixi revealed that she wanted to repair the garden, and Baojun also expressed her opposition together with Prince Gong Wenxiang. This time, Bao Jun actually proposed an unprecedented solution to France, which should also mean to curry favor with the West Palace.

"Let's do it." Empress Dowager Ci'an suddenly said, "There is a lack of foreign affairs in the court, and besides, he is not too young to withstand the fatigue of transportation and ships." If you want to choose, choose some young offspring. ”

Hearing that it was the Empress Dowager Ci'an who made the decision this time, Prince Gong was a little surprised, but he saw that Cixi did not speak out against it, so he responded: "The minister's order!" ”

After Prince Gong finished speaking, Wuren Song Jin and others felt bored, so they retreated back into the train.

Weng Tongji noticed what Li Hongzao wanted to say, but before he could get out of class, the Empress Dowager Ci'an said to the Empress Dowager Cixi: "I'm a little tired today, or I will disperse." ”

The Empress Dowager Cixi nodded, and Liu Chengyin announced the dissolution of the dynasty, and the ministers withdrew in turn.

Out of the main hall, Prince Gong and Wen Xiang Baojun talked in a low voice as they walked, while Li Hongzao hurried to the noon gate, which surprised Weng Tonggong.

When Weng Tongyi returned home, he impatiently wrote down the following words in his diary that day: "...... Today's court meeting, the proposal to send the new lord of Hefa to ascend the throne, the court was in an uproar, the Japanese minister Song said that it was impossible, the minister of literature was easy to provoke and refute it, and the holding could not be decided, and Li Xiang did not say a word; Bao Xiang Chen used Pu to make the old example, and Gong Di was quite commendable...... Guanxi Palace sent an envoy with a very strong intention, and asked the ministers who could make it, but there was no response, and the treasure minister recommended it by the foreign ministers, and the two palaces were then, and the envoy agreed. …… As soon as this case is opened, the etiquette collapses, the wise man jaws, the atmosphere is good, and the person who is a minister can sit back and watch indifferently? ”

"As expected, this errand to France has to fall on the head of the adults in the end." Xu Run handed over the newspaper and the court to Lin Yizhe, "Zeng Dishuai and Li Gongbao both sent a letter to Lord Baozhuo." ”

"I guessed it too." Lin Yizhe looked at the newspaper and smiled bitterly, "As soon as that note from France came out, I knew it was me." ”

After the French Emperor Napoleon III sent the invitation to China to send envoys to attend his son's enthronement ceremony, Lin Yizhe expected that this errand would definitely fall to him in the end. He even speculated that Napoleon III sent such an invitation in order to allow himself to go to France in an open and honest manner, to meet him in person, and to express his gratitude.

It's just that Napoleon III wouldn't have thought that what he did would do would cause much damage to Lin Yizhe's career.

"It is actually a good thing to have the Dharma Lord as foreign aid, and it is very helpful for adults to handle foreign affairs." Xu Run guessed what Lin Yizhe was thinking, and said with a smile, "The people who are worried about adults are inside and not outside." ”

"Yes! I didn't expect that he Zuo Zongtang would also recommend it to me this time. Lin Yizhe looked at Zuo Zongtang's vigorous recommendation of his own performance in the court, and sneered, "It's really well-intentioned!" ”

"Zuo Zongtang hates adults to the bone, such a good opportunity, of course he refuses to let go." Xu Run said, reciting Zuo Zongtang's words: "'Lin Yizhe has been in the ship administration for a long time, is familiar with foreign affairs, and is valued by the Lord of the Law, and has sent a special note to the General Administration to ask for an award for him, and he should be the only choice for the envoys, and it is ...... to be the only choice for the envoys', hehe, desperately sit on the adult's fornication with foreign countries, obviously for recommendation, but it is really to provoke the anger of Shilin, and the words hide murderous intentions, it is really deliberate!" I'm afraid that after I come back from this trip, the adults will have to point out. ”

Of course, Lin Yizhe understood the meaning of Xu Run's remarks, and he also knew Zuo Zongtang's sinister intentions in recommending him.

As a time-traveler who is familiar with history, he is very clear about the tragic ending of Guo Songtao, "China's first intelligent envoy".

Historically, Guo Songtao's mission was five years later, and the resistance he encountered on this trip would never be smaller than Guo Songtao!

"Sir, what do you think I need to care about when I go to France this time?" Lin Yizhe asked quietly.

"On this mission, adults should be cautious in their words and deeds, and they must know that if they say too much, they will be lost, and they should be careful about their reports and diaries." Xu Run said, "When your Excellency goes to France, the General Administration will inevitably ask your Excellency to record and report what you have seen and heard for reference. ”

"I understand." Lin Yizhe nodded.

Didn't Guo Songtao attract thousands of people because of the book "The Chronicle of the West"?

"This time, the name of the Dharma, is thanks, it is actually a congratulation, and you must remember the word 'congratulatory', which is unspeakable." Xu Run earnestly admonished, "I don't know how much effort the imperial court has put into this ritual dispute, and adults must not go into this fire pit." Otherwise, it will be a catastrophe, and Zeng Dishuai Li Gongbao and even the Empress Dowager Gongdi will not be able to protect the adults. ”

"I should take it to heart, sir." Lin Yizhe nodded.

"Before the adults leave, the center must summon them, and the adults must also carefully consider this response." Xu Run admonished again.

"I've thought about it, it's better to take the opportunity of this law to negotiate with the Dharma Master and ask for some national treasures back. Just use this Sethline mouth. Lin Yizhe said what he thought.

"What your lord said is very true, if this thing can be done, it will be great." Xu Run nodded again and again, "As long as the Queen Mother is happy, the adults can sit back and relax." ”

At this time, Lin Yizhe didn't know that at about the same time, in Jingshi, who was thousands of miles away, there were also people who were planning like him and Xu Run. It's just that unlike Lin Yizhe's joy, the plan here seems to be a battle of life and death.

A crescent moon on the horizon gloomily sprinkled down the silver light, reflecting the tiled roof of a small courtyard house with three entrances and three exits in the innermost part of an alley smeared with mercury, which seemed to be cold and cold.

Li Hongzao, a cabinet scholar, stretched out his hand and flicked the wax core on the bookcase, which made the room a little brighter, and it also clearly reflected the grim face of the middle-aged man in civilian uniform sitting under him.

"Tao Shi (Hong Jun's character) came to visit late at night, so there must be something important." Li Hongzao raised his hand and stroked the long beard under his chin, and asked in a gentle tone, "Looking at Tao Shi's face, I think there is a meaning of asking guilt, so please make it clear that between you and me, there is no one who cannot be spoken." ”

The matter of awarding Hong Jun Gabu the title of political envoy to France was agreed with the emperor when he went to the East Warm Pavilion of the Yangxin Palace during the day today to "meet", and the official edict will not be issued until tomorrow, but looking at Hong Jun's expression at this time, he must have gotten some rumors.

"The students are here because they want to ask the teacher about one thing, but at the moment their chests are full of blocks, and they don't know where to start for a while." Hong Jun's face was as cold as a layer of frost, but his words still barely maintained the respect that disciples must have when they met their disciples.

"Oh?" Li Hongzao glanced at Hong Jun with a little astonishment, he had never and dared not speak to himself in such a tone before.

"If there is really something depressed in Taoshi's chest, he might as well ......tell him frankly", Li Hongzao stroked his beard and said slowly, "You are the old man's protΓ©gΓ©, is there anything you don't worry about in the old man?" ”

Before his voice fell, Hong Jun's face had already changed, and he tried to suppress the anger in his chest, but he couldn't calm down, so he simply stood up from the chair at once.

"Since the teacher said so...... Hong Jun bowed to Li Hongzao first, and then said coldly: "Then the student can only tell the truth!" ”

"The student just heard a rumor today!" He bowed his hand to Li Hongzao and continued: "It is said that the teacher just took the fold yesterday, and he wants to promote the student as an envoy to the law, and use that ......", Hong Jun suddenly paused, and he gritted his teeth. It was only after half a sound that a few words were squeezed out from between his teeth, "And as a deputy envoy, I went to Taixi to congratulate Fayi on his ascension......" He stopped his mouth at this point, and only stared at Li Hongzao coldly with a pair of small eyes.

Li Hongzao didn't squeak. It was only in the flickering candlelight that he looked at Hong Jun faintly, and after the latter turned his face slightly away uncomfortably under his gaze, he said lightly: "This matter is not a rumor...... The edict will be issued tomorrow. ”

Hong Jun's heart slammed, and his face was as white as paper!

"The Empress Dowager and the Emperor have already approved the performance of the teacher," Li Hongzao looked at the wood carving clay sculpture like Hong Jun, his tone was as gentle as the beginning, and continued: "At the latest, tomorrow, you will be my deputy envoy to France of the Qing Dynasty!" ”

"Originally...... I wanted to recommend you as the main envoy, and the post-student named Lin Yizhe was the deputy envoy, but I didn't expect Zeng Disheng and Li Shaoquan to recommend him as the main envoy, and even Zuo Jigao was also on the fold, please take him as the main envoy, and as a teacher, I have to let you give in......"

Hong Jun seemed to be stunned by this shocking news, and he was shocked all over his body, and he stood for a long time before he heard a voice coming from his mouth: "Teacher...... Teacher...... Is this about putting students to death? ”
