After Li Zhen sent Ruan Lele away, he sent people to invite Liu Jintang, Chen Yucheng and Li Xiucheng.

Four people, sitting in the room.

Liu Jintang straightened his body and faced Li Zhen, his eyes swept left and right, and found that Li Zhen's henchman Lu Shaochuan was not there, and he was a little strange in his heart, speculating about the reason why Li Zhen came to him. However, Liu Jintang's expression looked very serious. In front of Li Zhen, he didn't dare to be presumptuous. Chen Yucheng and Li Xiucheng are the same, sitting in a proper manner.

Li Zhen said straight to the point: "Just now, I got the news that envoys from Britain, France, the United States, Russia and other countries have come to Wuzhou Mansion, and they will catch up with us in a few days." ”

The three of them raised their eyebrows, all a little surprised.

Liu Jintang pondered a deeper question, what was Li Zhen's intention in inviting them?

Do you want to send troops?

Li Zhen smiled slightly, and continued: "I estimate that the envoys of various countries came to Wuzhou Mansion for only one purpose, and that is to prevent me from sending troops to Vietnam. I'll stay and hold back the coalition forces of the nations for the time being, while the three of you lead a brigade of troops south to Vietnam and gain a foothold. I'm going to try to stall as much as I can, and I hope you get the situation up in the shortest possible time. ”

"Yes!"

The three of them won in unison, and Liu Jintang's face showed excitement.

The three of them have the highest military rank, and naturally, he has the best chance of gaining military exploits.

After Liu Jintang understood Li Zhen's intentions, he took Chen Yucheng and Li Xiucheng to say goodbye. On the same day, Liu Jintang led 3,000 soldiers to continue south, and after Lu Shaochuan got the news, he could only smash his mouth, watching this group of people leave, and he was helpless to stay.

This was Li Zhen's decision, and Lu Shaochuan didn't dare to resist.

……

However, after a few days, all the envoys of the eight countries arrived in Wuzhou Mansion.

At the head of the group was the British envoy Gobard.

He brought the Russian envoy Steppsilin, the French envoy Frankfurt, the American envoy Ma Hui and others to the prefect's yamen. Obviously, Gobard had already received the news that Liu Jintang was leading his army south. He stood at the yamen of the government, with a professional smile on his face, and let the soldiers pass it on. After the soldiers passed the message, they came back and took Gobard and the others into the palace.

In the hall, Li Zhen received everyone with a smile. Li Zhen seemed to be quite happy, and said heartily: "You have come from afar, and you have worked hard!" I have ordered a banquet to be prepared for you. ”

Gobard said angrily: "It's not better to catch the wind, please explain the matter of sending troops to Vietnam!" ”

Ma Hui also said: "President, the treaty signed by the nine countries together that day has made it clear that you must not interfere in the internal affairs of other countries, and you must not send troops to other countries. Now, China has violated the treaty and sent troops to Vietnam without authorization, how should this be handled? I ask the president to immediately transfer back the army, so as not to be untrustworthy and lose the face of the president and China. ”

When the rest of the people heard this, they echoed and applauded.

These people all agreed with Ma Hui's words and wanted to contain Li Zhen.

"Whew!!"

A disdainful cheer came from outside the hall.

The person who came was actually a woman.

This woman is Ruan Lele. He looked at the foreigners present, and he wished to return to China immediately, and the soldiers sent by Li Zhen were his hope, so Ruan Lele hoped that Liu Jintang and the others would win. As soon as Ruan Lele heard Ma Hui's words, his eyes erupted with raging anger, and he couldn't wait to fry Ma Hui.

She walked into the hall, stretched out her hand and pointed at Ma Hui, and scolded loudly: "Who are you, you don't know the situation and talk nonsense and point fingers in front of the president, it's just embarrassing." ”

"You, you...... It's so rude! ”

Ma Hui was scolded by a woman and trembled with anger.

In particular, the woman was only fifteen or sixteen years old.

Although Ma Hui is an American, he has been in China for a long time, and he has gradually been influenced by Chinese literary habits, so he naturally despises women. Now, in front of everyone's eyes, he was scolded by a woman, which is simply a shame! After Ma Hui scolded, then his eyes fell on Li Zhen's body and said, "President, is this the upbringing in your house?" It is too rude to let a woman break into the temple! We are still negotiating official business, and she comes in without passing the word, is there still law and discipline in her eyes? ”

Li Zhen replied with a smile: "Her name is Ruan Lele, and I invited her." ”

"Ahh

Ma Hui exclaimed, knowing that he had lost his words just now.

The person was invited by Li Zhen, not uninvited, and the situation was different.

Ma Hui would not admit it if he was embarrassed, and asked: "I'm waiting to discuss things, why did the president invite a woman over?" ”

Gobard also said: "I have also heard that China is a country of etiquette, and it is very particular about etiquette. Even the maidservants have to avoid negotiating things. Now that the president has called a woman into the hall like this, doesn't he want to make this woman dance? However, this is not the right occasion! ”

"You're dancing, your whole family is dancing!"

Ruan Lele snorted and immediately opened his mouth to fight back.

Don't look at her very well-behaved in front of Li Zhen and Ye Chengxin, but her gentleness is not something that anyone can see!

Deal with the bad guys, you have your own evil face!

The corners of Gobard's mouth twitched, thinking to himself that this woman was too strong!

Li Zhen sat above, looking at Ma Hui below, and couldn't help but want to laugh. In order to save Ma Hui's face, Li Zhen still held back a smile and said, "Gentlemen, this young lady really has something to do with what you are looking for me. Speaking of which, you said that I sent troops into Vietnam, but you really wronged me. I'm not sending troops, I'm borrowing them! I'm just borrowing soldiers. ”

"Borrowed soldiers? Hey, that's nice! ”

Stopicillin stared at Li Zhen and said coldly.

Li Zhen flicked his sleeves and said loudly: "Don't you believe it? I'll introduce it, and you'll understand. The young lady standing in front of her is not an ordinary person, she is the sister of the emperor of the Nguyen dynasty of Vietnam and the aunt of the surviving Nguyen crown prince Nguyen Minh Duc. The two of them found me to borrow troops to return to the country, don't I lend them out? ”

After a pause, Li Zhen continued: "Having said that, Yunnan is a vassal state of my China, and the vassal country has proposed to borrow troops, won't I borrow it?" So, I'm not going to send troops, I'm not going to break the treaty made by our nine countries, it's not illegal! ”

Ruan Lele observed his words, and immediately said in a timely manner: "I am Ruan Lele, the only remaining princess of the Ruan Dynasty. The imperial brother was killed, the country was occupied, relatives were killed, and the hatred of the country and the family all came in, but Xi Yinglong and I had no strength to fight back. That's why I found the president. I'm borrowing troops from the President, so please understand. ”

When the envoys of various countries heard this, their brows furrowed.

At this moment, they also felt embarrassed, but they didn't expect Li Zhen to dig a pit for them.

Now they jump out of the pit, but how do they get out?

ps: The first update, I'm going out during the day, and the update is slightly delayed.
