Since the news of Lin Yizhe's affair came out, Ding Baozhen came to the ministry almost every day to make noise, and there was a tendency to not stop if he didn't deal with Lin Yizhe's crime. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 The information department has been overwhelmed in the past two days, and the normal office has been somewhat affected.

"Officials are rewarded, and they have their own officials to take care of it, what does it matter to him in France? If he wants to come forward, he dares to reach out to my emperor to ask for an official, it is simply shameless! Such degrading things must be punished severely! ”

Hearing Ding Baozhen say that it was not over, Wen Xiang finally couldn't help it.

"Didn't Lord Ding feel that the country had been too peaceful for a long time and wanted to go to war with France?"

"What do you mean by that?" Ding Baozhen made Wen Xiang's cold words stunned.

"The Dharma Master's handwritten gift to our country is to make friends, and it is to reward Lin Yizhe's invitation, but you want to do the opposite, and the Dharma Lord asks for a reward, but you want to punish the crime heavily, isn't it a provocation like this?" Wen Xiang said sharply, "Besides, Lin Yizhe only warned the Lord of the Law during the Franco-Prussian War, and did not betray my rights and interests in the Qing Dynasty. If you want to be a sinner of the Qing Dynasty, you can't do it? ”

"What if the war starts?" Ding Baozhen waved his sleeves and shouted loudly, "This kind of flattering minister does not punish his crimes, but tolerates and raises adultery because of fear of war, and the rewards and punishments are unknown. ”

"Humph! Erchen? Ding Gong Bao Gao Jian, the old man understands! Wen Xiang said angrily, "I see the position of this official secretary, so I just let you sit down!" After he finished speaking, Huo Ran got up, turned around and brushed his sleeves away.

Ding Baozhen's last sentence to Wen Xiang trembled with anger, he stood there for a long time, and suddenly realized that he had just been angry, and he had spoken a little too much, and he couldn't make a sound for a while.

"Ding Gongbao, come on, take a sip of tea, and rest." Shan Maoqian saw that Ding Baozhen didn't say anything, so he quickly made a look, and a head of the ministry cleverly served Ding Baozhen a cup of tea, Ding Baozhen took the tea bowl, returned to the chair and sat down.

"Zhonghyung, what do you think?" Ding Baozhen took a sip of tea and picked up the conversation again in front of Shan Maoqian.

"Alas, if you want to say that this Lin Yizhe, who was originally Lin Wenzhonggong, how could he do such a thing? It's a pity! Shan Maoqian pretended to sigh in pain, "I think this foreign affairs have been done for a long time, and I have been poisoned by foreign drugs unknowingly, without knowing it." ”

"Yes! It can be seen that this foreigner's things still can't be learned. Ding Baozhen said, "This great defense of Yixia is the foundation of the country, and it must not be neglected." ”

"Lin Yizhe's matter, the ministry discussed it a few times, and it was necessary to punish him for his crime, but Lin Yizhe betrayed the secrets of the country, not his own country, and there was no major crime when he talked about it in detail. This matter also needs to take into account the face of the Dharma Master, so it is better to be light and provocative. Shan Maoqian said euphemistically, "Now that the people's livelihood is difficult, we need to recuperate, the northwest is in a hurry to use troops, and the southeast must not provoke. ”

"What does the Sixth Lord think about this matter?" Ding Baozhen glared, and seemed to be a little unwilling.

"Didn't Wen Shangshu say it just now?" Shan Maoqian glanced in the direction of the inner hall and whispered.

Ding Baozhen suddenly realized, picked up the tea bowl, drank the tea, and said no more.

In the northwest, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu.

"This kid surnamed Lin is really anti-bombardment!" Zuo Zongtang looked at the newspaper sent by him, and couldn't help but feel angry, "So many officials have played, but they haven't even participated in him!" It seems that I underestimated the weight of his Lin family in the court. ”

Zuo Zongtang put down the newspaper angrily and paced in the study.

"It's really strange that the center didn't say a word, could it be that he was thinking of Shen Baozhen and the Lin family's previous achievements? ……”

Zuo Zongtang thought for a while, returned to the desk, flipped out the newspaper from a few days ago and looked at it, and couldn't help shaking his head.

"These ignorant scholars, just know that they are making a fuss about the dispute between etiquette and righteousness and the defense of Yixia, which makes the center so tired, no wonder he doesn't fall."

Zuo Zongtang put down the newspaper, thought about it again, had an idea in his heart, and couldn't help sneering.

"If the old man personally participates in the impeachment of you, it will make people say that I am not tolerant of Zuo Jigao. Since Shen Baozhen is so protective of you, let him Shen Baozhen accompany you! ”

Zuo Zongtang had made up his mind, so he took the pen and paper and began to quickly prepare the draft.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

"The little man surnamed Lin is so bold and reckless that he dares to fornicate with the Fa Chief, and let the Fa Chieftain help him get an official, he is really impatient, I think he should go to prison at this time, right?"

After Hu Xueyan came out of the "thirteenth floor" satisfied, he came to the front hall, saw the newspaper delivered, and muttered to himself while picking up the newspaper and reading it.

Since learning that Lin Yizhe "fornicated with the chieftain", Hu Xueyan has been obsessed, and while arranging for people to play in Beijing, he has paid special attention to major and minor matters related to this.

It's just that the days went by, and he never got the news he wanted.

As usual, the newspapers were filled with some daily contents, namely the emperor's daily life, words and deeds, edicts, decrees, decrees, etc., as well as the appointment, promotion, deposition, rewards and punishments of officials, as well as the memoranda of ministers and magistrates. Hu Xueyan looked at it over and over for a long time, and only found Zuo Zongtang's recital in the part of the minister's recital, which seemed to be related to Lin Yizhe, and he immediately looked at it carefully.

“…… The minister thought that the letter of the master of the law was originally a show of goodwill, and he cherished that he wanted to profit from it, so that he took advantage of it, and he did not know it. The ministers visited the public opinion, and many of them thought so. …… The ministers discussed with the governor and the ministers, and ordered that the person in charge be locked up in Beijing to discuss his guilt, and he could not be exempted from responsibility, and he was severely reprimanded for Shen Baozhen's lack of discipline......"

"When the Lin family was skilled, he showed his family and friends with his fame, and he could establish himself, and the clerk was above the supervision department, and the military position was below the town, and there was no shortage of people. How should we fight for self-suffering in order to receive favors? However, the honor is high, and after a long time, it will rely on the situation and act recklessly, and incidents will occur one after another. It is difficult for Shen Baozhen to express his words. The ministers and other ministers should also be dedicated to teaching, so that they know that righteousness is for profit, and each thinks about protecting the family, which is the foundation of serving the country, then the blessing of Lin's relatives and friends, and the blessing of Shen Baozhen's family. The ministers and ministers Yang Changjun and Si Dao also thought so. I would like to state it together, and the Empress Dowager Fu begged for instructions. ”

"Lin Yizhe, a member of the deputy secretary of the shipping administration, is greedy and cunning, and should be dismissed from his post at the request of the order, and he will wait for the investigation. Prime Minister Shen Baozhen, Minister of Shipping, was incapable of discipline, mediocrity and incompetence, and should be asked to open vacancies and send them to the ministry for introduction. Aftermath continued......"

After watching Zuo Zongtang's performance, Hu Xueyan was very happy.

"A hundred imperial histories are not worth the weight of a Zuo adult, haha! Reading this fold, it should really be a big white also! ”

Fontainebleau, Paris, France.

"Colonel Riyige is right, we shouldn't publicly express our gratitude to our benefactors." Napoleon III handed Empress Eugénie an urgent telegram from the French Admiralty in his hand and said with some concern, "Now not only does not allow him to receive the reward of the Qing court, but puts his life in danger." ”

"How so?" Empress Eugenie immediately took the telegram and read it.

"We underestimate the power of the old-fashioned officials in this ancient empire." Napoleon III said, "The officials of the old school are now attacking him in groups, and they must put him to death." ”

"I will never allow this to happen!" Empress Eugenie cried out, "Your Majesty, you must do everything in your power to stop this from happening!" I ask you to write another letter to the Emperor of China at once, and do not let him hurt our benefactor! The savior of France! ”

"No, no, we can't write any more letters, it's these letters that get him into trouble." Napoleon III shook his head, "We'll have to find another way." ”

"Oh God! You can't let our benefactors be put to death for our fault! Empress Eugenie, apparently a little frustrated, began to circle around the room, her huge skirt turning incessantly in front of the French Emperor.

"Calm down, my dear Eugenie." As if remembering something, Napoleon III took the telegram from Eugénie and read it.

"Do you have a solution? Your Majesty? Empress Eugenie asked anxiously.

"Yes, I've figured out a way that should help him out of danger, but I need your help."

"What do I need to do? Your Majesty? As long as I can do it, I am willing. Oh, Your Majesty, please tell me quickly! ”

"Colonel Riyige mentioned in the telegram that, in order to prevent the vicious attacks of the conservative officials, our benefactor had hidden royal treasures, and that our benefactor had handed over all the gifts we had given him to the Empress Dowager of China. The Empress Dowager of China is very happy, so the Emperor of China has not yet announced the decision to punish our benefactor," said Napoleon III, "and I think it would be better for us to give the Emperor of China a treasure that belonged to the Chinese Imperial Family, and give credit to our benefactor, so that the Emperor of China will not condemn our benefactor." ”

"Great! Your Majesty! That's a great idea! Empress Eugenie nodded in surprise.

"However, if we do this, you will lose a large number of precious collectibles in your 'China Pavilion'." Napoleon III looked at her and said, "I don't know if you want to." ”

"Of course I do! Those treasures are meaningless compared to the lives of our benefactors! Empress Eugenie said categorically, "I am willing to give away the entire collection of the 'China Pavilion', as long as it can be exchanged for the life of our benefactor." Because I don't want to come to God one day and He tells me that it was because I refused to give these treasures that I had killed our benefactor. ”

"Then let's get started! I am going to give the Emperor of China 2,000 treasures that originally belonged to the Chinese 'summer palace'......" Napoleon III was interrupted by Empress Eugenie.

"Nope! Your Majesty, double! 4000 pieces! ”

"We also have to tell the Chinese emperor that this is because of Lin's contribution to the friendship between France and China." Napoleon III said, "I think it is impossible for the Chinese emperor to refuse." ”
