After a short time, Ye Chengxin, Ruan Lele, and Ruan Mingde came to the study.

After the three of them sat down, Ruan Lele hurriedly said, "Mr. President, when will you send troops?" Wait a little longer, Xi Yinglong will be able to accumulate some more strength in Vietnam, which is not good for attacking Vietnam! ”

Li Zhen said: "I have ordered Yang Banhou, who is stationed in Guangxi, to send troops there, you just stay in Beijing and wait for news." If the news of Yang Banhou's victory comes back, you will take Ruan Minh Duc south. If Yang Banhou returns in vain, he will wait for the New Year to send troops. When the time comes, I will go south with you to Guangxi and restore the country for you, what do you think? ”

Ruan Lele said: "Can't you leave now? With you, Yang Banhou will undoubtedly win. ”

Li Zhen said: "This is the first year of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and we can't go south. ”

Ruan Lele thought about it carefully and said, "Okay, I agree to go south after the year." ”

Li Zhen suddenly laughed and said: "I asked Xiao Ye to take you around the city, now that it is approaching the end of the year, Beijing City is lively, you can take a walk and see the prosperity of Beijing City, this is a rare opportunity!" After finishing speaking, Li Zhen looked at Ye Chengxin and squeezed his eyebrows, making Ye Chengxin not embarrassed, but Ye Chengxin still took Ruan Lele and Ruan Mingde to leave.

Li Zhen stayed in the study and began to think about the New Year, because there were many things to prepare for as the New Year approached.

Besides, it's the first New Year, and it has to be done well.

……

On the tenth day of December, it is very close to the end of the year.

On this day, Zeng Guofan came to Li Zhen's presidential palace.

After Zeng Guofan sat down, he said, "President, I thought of something. The absence of the emperor means that the era name of the Tongzhi Emperor has been revoked and can no longer be used. How do we decide on the era for the next year? Zeng Guofan said with a sad face: "After the emperor succeeded to the throne, he had his own era name, and now there is no emperor, there is no era name, there must be a new standard!" ”

Li Zhen thought for a while and said, "This is easy, we will be in line with most countries in the world and adopt the Common Era." The year is 1859 A.D. and the next year is 1860. In the future, they will continue to implement according to this standard. No matter who takes over as president, it will be counted according to this standard, and there is no one who will take over the presidency and have his own unique era name, so there is no need for this. ”

"Okay, got it!"

Zeng Guofan suddenly said: "However, the calculation method of foreign countries is different from ours! ”

Li Zhen said: "This is also simple, the two systems coexist. Our time positioning lunar calendar is our own set of systems. The time of a foreign country is located in the Gregorian calendar, which serves as the legal time of the country. Anyway, there is no conflict. ”

Zeng Guofan thought about it, turned around and went to execute At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Huang Shihai hurriedly ran to the presidential palace. He stood in front of Li Zhen and said excitedly: "President, the ladies are here from the south, and there are still twenty miles away from Beijing. ”

"Ahh

Li Zhen exclaimed in surprise and stood up, his face showing joy.

Unexpectedly, Zhilan, Gu Lina and others came to the north. Previously, Li Zhen had been busy, and he thought that it would be safer for Zhilan, Gu Lina and others to stay in Guangzhou, so he didn't send anyone to take people to Beijing. Unexpectedly, they took the initiative to come to the north, which is really a happy event. A smile appeared on Li Zhen's face and said, "Let's go, go outside the city to greet you." ”

"Okay, I'll arrange it immediately!" Huang Shihai said.

Li Zhen stopped Huang Shihai again and instructed: "Let's go out of the city lightly, don't make the city known." This is my own private matter, not a business matter. It is enough to bring only a part of the guards. ”

"Yes!"

Huang Shihai turned around to prepare, and after a short time, Li Zhen took people out of the city and went outside the city to greet them.

Outside the city of Beijing, twelve miles away.

The teams of Li Zhen and Zhilan and others converged. It's just that after Li Zhen saw the long line, the smile on his face suddenly froze, and he didn't understand how there could be such a long line just Zhilan and his party. Li Zhence rode up and came to the carriage of the sisters Zhilan, Gulina, and Alice.

At this time, a small head came out of the curtain of the carriage, and it was Li Zhen's eldest daughter Li Chongxuan. She stood on the wheel, spread her arms, and shouted, "Daddy, hug!" Seeing this scene, the unhappiness in Li Zhen's heart suddenly disappeared, and he hugged Li Chongxuan and put him on horseback.

"Uncle!"

In a carriage behind Zhilan, a crisp voice came, and it was Wang Xiaoyang and Li Xiaotong's son Wang Ping'an.

Li Zhen hugged Li Chongxuan, rode up and said, "Be safe and good, uncle will give you candy to eat!" As early as when Li Zhen knew that Zhilan and other women came back with their children, they had already asked people to prepare candy. He took out a few pieces of candy from his pocket and put them in Wang Ping'an's hands. It's a pity that Wang Ping'an didn't buy it and said: "Uncle is so stingy, I want to ride a big horse, don't want sugar." ”

"Oh, what a man!"

Li Zhen laughed, took Wang Ping'an, and put it on the horse. This time, a horse carried two children and an adult. Li Xiaotong came out and said, "Brother, don't bother with this kid, let's go, go back to the city first!" ”

"Good!"

Li Zhen gave the order, and the team continued to march towards Beijing.

After entering the city, Zhilan, Gu Lina, and Alice sisters, as well as Zhou Xiuying and Shanapova, all gathered together. Among them, several children also had a good time. Li Zhen has his daughter Li Chongxuan and Gu Lina's daughter Li Nian under his knees, and a son Li Chongxiao, plus Li Xiaotong's child Wang Ping'an, the four of them got together, very lively and had a good time.

Li Zhen teased the child, and then asked the accompanying nurse to take the child down.

At this time, Li Zhen looked at Li Xiaotong and asked, "Sister, why are there so many people in Beijing?" ”

Li Xiaotong scratched his head, with a helpless expression, and said: "Among the people who came, a large part of them used to be distant relatives of our Li family, and they had no contact. However, after they heard that their younger brother was in charge of the country, they saw the benefits and came to confess their relatives. It's all a family, and I'm not good at talking. There are also some people who are distant relatives of your brother-in-law Wang Xiaoyang. These people are annoying Wang Xiaoyang in Guangzhou, but Wang Xiaoyang has been restrained, but he can't get rid of it. No, it's all thrown to Beijing for you. ”

Li Zhenyi rolled his eyes and said, "Sister, you and your brother-in-law are really good at throwing off the burden, and it is my turn to be the wicked." ”

Li Xiaotong said: "You can endure and hold things up, isn't it you or who?" ”

Li Zhen said: "Okay, I'll take it all." The ugly words are said in the front, I don't know these people, and I don't know how to be emotional. If something happens, don't blame my brother for being ruthless. ”

Li Xiaotong smiled: "It's okay, you can toss it, it's best to drive everyone away!" ”

Li Zhen shook his head and said, "It's not easy to drive away!" ”

"Report!"

A soldier walked in, came to Li Zhen's side, and whispered a few words. Li Zhen's face changed greatly, and he said, "Sister, you and Zhilan are resting at home, and I'll go out to deal with some things." ”

After speaking, Li Zhen left the presidential palace.
