Chapter 923: Lobbyist

What are they here for? As a lobbyist? However, when you are a lobbyist, it should be Wen Xiang to come, the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu really has a deeper relationship with Guo Ye, except for Yixin, who is impossible to come, it is Wen Xiang, I didn't expect Wen Xiang to show up, but two Hanchens came.

"Di Shuai, Zi Yugong, the two of you came together, but it made Guo Ye panic, hehe......"

Guo Ye saw two people coming in and smiled faintly.

"Ming Shuai, don't laugh at us, now that you have the chance to win, your prestige is rising, where in the world are there people who don't know you Guo Ziming? The two of us, hehe......"

Cao Yuying smiled bitterly, the words were not finished, it was really unbearable to look back, in the past few months, how embarrassed and embarrassed the court should be, all the unlucky things have not been caught up by the imperial court, and it is the most unlucky time to catch up with the most unlucky things, and finally it has become this embarrassing situation to the extreme.

"Ming Shuai, Ming people don't say dark words, I also know that you are a cheerful person, open up, the two of us are here to be lobbyists......"

Zeng Guofan said in a deep voice.

"Lobbyist?"

Guo Ye's eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness, and he put away his smile and asked: "In this case, then Prince Gong should come, or Wen Bochuan come, as we all know, Prince Gong is my benefactor, Wen Xiang has a close relationship with me, but I sent you two Hanchen, hehe......"

"Ming Shuai, don't laugh at us, it's just a matter of eating the king's Lu and sharing the king's worries, Prince Gong needs to sit in the capital, how can he be separated? As for Brother Bochuan, he wanted to come, but it's a pity, Brother Bochuan has done his best, he is seriously ill in bed, and now he is afraid that he will not be able to go anywhere, not only Brother Bochuan, together with the emperor, these days, he has been overly frightened, and he is also lingering on the sickbed, and he has become thin, and all the affairs are now relying on Prince Gong alone......"

Guo Ye was stunned, he didn't expect that Wen Xiang would be able to do it, and what he didn't expect was that the little emperor of Tongzhi was also bedridden, it seems that the blow of this war to the imperial court is far from being as simple as he imagined......

"Ming Shuai, although our two qualifications and status are not enough, but where our positions are, we have to come, just to ask you, is there any possibility of taking a step back in the matter of rebellion......

Guo Ye smiled coldly and replied, "Take a step back? How to take a step back? Tell me, how do you get me to take a step back? ”

Cao Yuying said in a deep voice: "Ming Shuai, when you came out, the Queen Mother and Prince Gong said, this time you led the troops to start an incident, and it was also an invasion of foreign enemies, and it was a last resort, in order to protect the Qing Dynasty, in order to keep the soldiers under your command, now that the foreign enemy has been defeated by you, the court will naturally not pursue this matter again, in fact, you also know that the matter of investigation is just because the entire court was coerced by the Four-Nation Alliance, and it was an expedient measure that had to be made, Ming Shuai, as long as you are willing to give up your self-reliance and declare your allegiance to the court, The Empress Dowager and the Emperor will specially pardon all your transgressions, and all the soldiers under your command, including Zuo Zongtang and others, will be pardoned, and at the same time you will be named Prince Jing, the governor of all the soldiers and horses in the country, and Prince Gong will be the regent of the court, under the real one person, above ten million people, the court will also implement innovation in accordance with your plan, in order to revive the Qing Empire! ”

Guo Ye replied coldly: "Ziyu, do you think this prince and this authority are very rare? ”

Cao Yuying's face turned red, and she replied: "Ming Shuai, this is really under one person, above ten million people, nominally you and Prince Gong are the regents of the court, Prince Gong will definitely not compete with you for power, when the time comes, in fact, you will be the regent alone!" ”

Guo Ye stood up and replied slowly: "Ziyu, you are wrong, what I care about is not any authority, even if the Manchurians give me the throne of the Ninth Five-Year Honor, I am not uncommon, what I care about is how to make China rise to the top of the world step by step, instead of sitting on the throne of the emperor, eating and waiting for death!" From the Dagukou artillery battle of that year, it has been nearly six years now, all the time, I am not thinking about bringing China to the road of a rich country and a strong army, no longer harassed by foreign enemies, but I am running in front, behind, those muddy nobles are desperately pulling my legs, if it is not for their many constraints, there will be today's situation? Yes, this time the big war, we are about to win, the Four-Nation Alliance was repulsed by us, but at what cost did we pay? The Hunan army, the Huai army, the Chu army, the Lu army, plus the green battalion, suffered almost more than 100,000 casualties! A hundred thousand! ”

Cao Yuying's heart was also a little agitated, after all, those who died in the war were their own compatriots, who could turn a blind eye? As for Zeng Guofan, his heart was gloomy, such a big price, he had to take half of the responsibility first, he led the Xianghuai Green Battalion, adding up to more than 80,000 people, to resist the Four-Power Alliance, but within a few days, it completely collapsed, and he was beaten by others, with heavy casualties!

"Ming Shuai, the old man is very ashamed of this matter, and he is really shameless to face the Chinese father, but you can rest assured, as long as you return to the imperial court, the old man will naturally apologize for his ......crime with death."

"No need! Quan Shuai, how unwise are such words coming out of your mouth? Do you think China is full of talent now? The absence of a Zeng Guofan will only make us lack a capable minister who can be used in the world, without any benefit! ”

Guo Ye replied lightly, "If you want to apologize, then take out your spirit and do more practical things for this country in your lifetime!" Six years, I don't have six years to squander, the European powers will never give me another six years, let me push China's rise, I can't take any risk, I must, must really grasp the supreme power of China, not the slightest constraint, in order to be able to achieve a rich country and a strong army before the European powers invade again! The fall of the Manchu Dynasty is inevitable, even if it is really spurned by people as a rebel and traitor, it will not hesitate! ”

"Ming Shuai, you have to think twice! This is infamy! ”

Cao Yuying said urgently.

"Infamy through the ages?"

Guo Ye sneered: "Lord Ziyu, history has always been written by the victors, on the tenth day of Yangzhou, the three massacres in Jiading, when the Manchurians first entered the Guannei, wasn't that general and emperor stained with the blood of the Han people?" Which one is not full of evil, however, which one is recorded in the history books? Hehe, if you want me to be infamous for eternity, it depends on whether the people agree or not! ”

Cao Yuying and Zeng Guofan glanced at each other, their hearts were full of gloom, it seemed that Guo Ye had made up his mind......

"There is one more thing to tell the two adults, Yan Chunyu has led two infantry divisions of more than 30,000 people to prepare to march to the capital, and I will take Beijing City within half a month! Hehe, you two might as well stay and help me, with the fame and qualifications of the two of you, high-ranking officials can also be at your fingertips! (To be continued.) )
