After getting married, Guo Yunxian is very fond of Liang, and it can be said that he is afraid that he will be like tofu sticking to the ashes when he falls on the ground, and he is afraid that it will melt like ice cubes when he holds it in his arms. The Liang family is also very considerate to Guo Yunxian, knowing the cold and the warm, Guo Yunxian can be said to have fallen into the gentle township all of a sudden.

"I see that my lord has been having nightmares for the past few days, what are you dreaming of?" Liang has been finding Guo Yunxian's mind uneasy for the past few days, so he asked again.

The newly married Mrs. Ru now understands Guo Yunxian's many hardships very well, and she wants to share some sorrows and hardships for Guo Yunxian.

Hearing her question, Guo Yunxian couldn't help but be moved in her heart and gently held her hand.

Liang is a woman from the bottom of the working people, married Guo Yunxian, taking care of Guo Yunxian's life can be said to be meticulous, she is a little woman, serving by Guo Yunxian's side, the endless affection, how much can Guo Yunxian forget some of the troubles in reality.

"These days...... Dream ...... It's all ...... Liu Yunsheng. Guo Yunxian remembered that Liu Xihong came to find him awkward after his death, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Liu Yunsheng has always been stammering when he was in Beijing, but since he arrived in England, his temperament has changed greatly, I don't know why he is like this?" Liang couldn't help but sigh when he thought back to the past.

"Isn't it because I didn't sponsor him as a deputy envoy?" Guo Yunxian sighed, "I don't know who drafted the letter of state that time, and it didn't even specify the deputy envoy." He thought I knew I deliberately didn't tell him. And they hated me. ”

Liang listened to Guo Yunxian's words. remembered that when Liu Xihong was in Beijing, he came to the door to make a fuss, and he understood.

After receiving the appointment of the envoy to Britain, Guo Yunxian made careful arrangements for the search for personnel going abroad, and he really wanted to have a few more outstanding talents in his team who really understood the situation of foreign countries and understood foreign Chinese. Prime Minister Yamen also considered the same thing, and at first planned to arrange for Xu Xuanshen, the alternate of Zhili, to accompany Guo Yunxian abroad as a deputy envoy, but Guo Yunxian did not object to it after learning the news, because he had learned about it from the side. Xu Chan is still quite good. Unexpectedly, for several days, Liu Xihong ran around, always fighting for the position of deputy envoy. Originally, Guo Yunxian thought that Liu Xihong was cultivated by him, and this time the opportunity to go abroad was rare, and it was not impossible to leave him a position as a counselor. But Liu Xihong wanted to be a deputy envoy. Guo Yunxian knows Liu Xihong's talent very well, one is afraid that he lacks ability, and the other is afraid that others will gossip and accuse him of engaging in a "personal kingdom". So I talked to Liu Xihong once and asked him for understanding. Unexpectedly, Liu Xihong turned his face all of a sudden.

That day, Liu Xihong ran to Guo Yunxian's residence, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he asked Guo Yunxian, why couldn't he, Liu Xihong, be this deputy envoy? The tone was not at all like that of an old subordinate and an old boss, which surprised Guo Yunxian. thought that Liu Xihong had taken the wrong medicine, how did he become so bullying? And whose momentum is it relying on? A few days later, he learned that Liu Xihong was afraid of asking him for this deputy envoy, so he played a trick on Chen Cang and asked Li Gaoyang to go. And Li Gaoyang just wants to install a confidant-like figure among the people who go abroad to remotely control Guo Yunxian, because in his opinion, once Guo Yunxian is released, Guanshan will be blocked, thousands of miles away, and if he loses control, it will cause a catastrophe. And it just so happened that Liu Xihong was stubbornly entangled in this position, and it was Li Gaoyang who secretly fulfilled Liu Xihong by pushing the boat along the river, and he didn't even say hello to Guo Yunxian. And at this time, Guo Yunxian also realized that Liu Xihong had a lot of ways in Beijing, and the backstage was also very hard.

And after getting the official appointment of the deputy envoy, although Liu Xihong still respects Guo Yunxian very much on the surface, as he always walked around the door, he would always show Guo Yunxian from time to time that he was working for the military aircraft and the yamen, you Guo Yunxian just knew, and you can't do anything with me!

Although the two never quarrel in public, do not talk about gossip, and do not broadcast right and wrong, the main thing is that Guo Yunxian starts from the overall situation and asks himself to cultivate himself, so as not to cause greater embarrassment. At that time, Liu Xihong was also interesting, and the two were at peace for a while, and even on the surface, they looked the same as before.

However, the matter of the national letter finally intensified the contradiction between the two.

After arriving in London, Guo Yunxian went to the British Foreign Office to meet with British Foreign Secretary Derby and present his credentials, and only then did he know the specific content of this credentials.

"The Great Emperor of the Great Qianguo asked the Great British Monarch and the Great Emperor of the Five Indias, I was born with the Mandate of Heaven, Yin Shao Piji, remembering my neighbors, and Yongtun Friendship,...... Special Jian sent the Minister of Mission, the Ministry of Rites Zuo Shilang, and the Prime Minister Guo Yunxian to your country, and the representative of the heart of the song, and resided in the capital of Guidu, thinking that it was the basis for sincere reconciliation. I know that Guo Yunxian is capable and loyal, peaceful and fluent, and is very familiar with handling Chinese and foreign affairs. I hope to sincerely believe that we can always achieve friendship and share peace, and we will be deeply happy and ......"

In the letter of state, it is clear who Guo Yunxian is, what he sent to Britain for, and hopes that China and Britain will be reconciled, but there is no mention of Liu Xihong, the deputy envoy.

In fact, the person who drafted the credentials cannot be blamed for this, because the drafters and the prime minister's yamen are both familiar with international practices, and there is no deputy envoy at the ministerial level. But in this way, Liu Xihong quit.

Because it is also an international practice, when meeting with foreign heads of state, it is only a matter of the main envoy, and there is no part of the deputy envoy. When Guo Yunxian went to the British Foreign Office to submit his credentials, he learned that he was the only one who met Queen Victoria, and Liu Xihong did not have to go.

Liu Xihong was very angry after learning the news, he thought that his deputy envoy was actually equal to Guo Yunxian, the envoy, in terms of status, and the Heavenly Dynasty sent the deputy envoy to the legacy, which itself has the meaning of mutual containment, which is the practice of the system, "the envoys of the country and the dynasty are all in parallel, so the mutual maintenance system is also", he thinks that Guo Yunxian has long known the content of the national letter but did not tell himself, so he wrote angrily in the diary: "Check the national book did not reach Chen Hong, and once heard the words of the people in the capital, Shi Zheng made the first to send the book, and it was irreversible to chase. Liu Xihong thought that this was Guo Yunxian's intention to embarrass himself, originally he thought that he could "influence Guo Gong" as a deputy envoy, but now "foreign envoys are called assistants." Listen to the messenger. Since the end of the capital. The system from abroad. All the documents of foreigners are single-titled, everything is not negotiable, and they are just eating and paying for nothing", so they were very dissatisfied, and their attitude towards Guo Yunxian became bad.

Although Guo Yunxian could not be blamed for the national credentials, Guo Yunxian still tried his best to make amends, and after Guo Yunxian and the British Foreign Office consulted, the British side agreed that Guo Yunxian and Liu Xihong could meet at the same time. But as a result, the contradiction between the two has become public.

Liu Xihong had been faithfully fulfilling the "task" given to him by Li Gaoyang, and then he intensified his efforts, constantly sending secret telegrams to China, saying that Guo Yunxian was not, but Liu Xihong never dreamed that his actions had long been discovered by the Chen family, the leader of Lun Guo's overseas Chinese businessmen, and Chen Tingxuan made a decisive move after discovering that Liu Xihong wanted to kill Guo Yunxian, a loyal elder, and Liu Xihong's life was killed.

Because Liu Xihong is dead, in the spirit of the traditional spirit of "the dead are great" and "everything is resting when people die". In the report to the imperial court, Guo Yunxian did not impeach Liu Xihong. only gave a detailed report on the work at this stage and the cause of Liu Xihong's death given by the London Metropolitan Police Department, and vaguely pointed out in the recital that the cause of Liu Xihong's death may have been because of his "violent temperament" and "contemptuous language", which aroused the hatred of outsiders, so that he was assassinated and died.

And Guo Yunxian didn't know that Liu Xihong's previous secret framing of him and his book "The Chronicle of the West" had already caused an uproar, and then in Beijing, the music for his impeachment flew like snowflakes.

First of all, Zuodu Yushi Jinglian participated in the impeachment of Guo Yunxian:

“…… Since the envoys of foreign countries have been stationed in Beijing, there have been insatiable requests and unreasonable requests, and so on. Prime Minister, Yamen Wang, Minister Wang, etc., either in a straight way, or in a tactful way, do not know how much money to operate, lips and tongues, must be checked in fact, in the overall situation is not hindered, only to allow their request, so to care for the outside and survive the national body. Although the slave does not know everything, he has repeatedly received official letters from the Prime Minister Yamen in the West Road Military Camp before, and he has already learned the outline. Recently, I heard that Guo Yunxian, the squire of the military department, was in the prime minister's yamen, and he was happy and happy,...... And its daily discussions, always think that all foreign countries have invitations, must be allowed, and everything is easy to handle, enlightening the heart and losing the political system, so why! ”

"Zha Guo Yunxian once served the order of the envoy to a foreign country, with paranoid intentions, when he went to a foreign country, when he encountered a negotiation incident, he asked for everything, and he was afraid that the overall situation would be hindered. …… Guo Yunxian was indifferent to the murder of the deputy envoy this time, which is clear proof ......"

Judging from the content of the excerpt, Jing Lian's purpose was to be an envoy to the opposition Guo Yunxian, and asked "another simple foreign minister familiar with foreign affairs to send an envoy to a foreign country"; The reason is that Guo Yunxian "agrees with his heart and fears that he will miss the overall situation", and Jing Lian's impeachment is very measured, and it is not that the opposition people are going to foreign countries, nor does he adopt the argument that going to foreign countries is a "ghost", but that Guo Yunxian's set of ideological propositions on handling foreign affairs is "flattering to foreigners" and "paranoid,...... In the event of a negotiation incident, we should ask for all permissions, and I am afraid that the overall situation will be hindered."

Jing Lian's ginseng is the first poisonous arrow shot at Guo Yunxian by the old-fashioned and diehard ministers in China, and the public opinion that insults Guo Yunxian is also overwhelming, "from the Beijing teachers and doctors and the elders in the countryside, they are bitterly denigrated against each other, not to mention the number of people", although it failed to change the trust of the imperial court in Guo Yunxian, but it made Guo Yunxian feel the chills brought by the serious arrogance of the whole country!

Immediately following the impeachment of Guo Yunxian was He Jinshou, the editor of the Hanlin Academy:

“…… The thief recently saw the book "Chronicles of the West" written by Guo Yunxian, a squire of the military department, who said extravagantly that Russia and Britain were rich and strong, courteous and trustworthy, and the beauty of words; It is also said that the country is called the second hegemon, with a high palm, an eagle and a tiger's eye, and it is still heavy and heavy, not like the arrogance and arrogance of Middle Earth. Repeatedly praised, all kinds of flattery, heartbreak and loss of body, it is already appalling. Among them, the most absurd is to say that the West has been established for 2,000 years, and the political and religious cultivation is very different, which is absolutely different from the rise of Liao and Jin. Our country and other countries have made peace, and the ministers at home and abroad have thought about the changes in Gengshen, and they all want to lie down and taste the courage, and take the national self-improvement period to avenge the shameful place of the other day. Now Guo Yunxian dares to say this, how can he stop the national body and become hostile, and directly destroy the righteous indignation of the world with the conspiracy of Kuang Ji, a loyal minister. I don't have such a courtier! ”

"Thinking that the ancients made it to the Quartet, they did not dishonor the king's life. Today, Guo Yunxian knows that it is difficult to tolerate the Qing Dynasty, so Zhang Da threatens to use his own shortcomings to shock the imperial court, so as to achieve success in the future. Such intentions can no longer be asked. It is a book that shakes the hearts of the people of the world. In his book, he is still cowardly, and he hopes that he will resist the enemy's court, and he will not give in? ……”

He Jinshou's excerpt is also a verbal criticism of Guo Yunxian's book "The Chronicle of the West".

"The Journey to the West" is that after Guo Yunxian arrived in London, he asked the minister to be sent according to the Prime Minister's Yamen. The event should be negotiated, the customs of each country. Detailed. Consult at any time", and after a little finishing and polishing of his diary of more than 20,000 words during the 51 days from Shanghai to London, he sent a copy of the note to the Prime Minister's Yamen, "so as to convey the information to those who are seeking foreign affairs." "There are two or three paragraphs in the book on the handling of foreign affairs, which are unheard of by many imperial courts."

After the publication of "The Chronicle of the West", it caused an uproar, and the voices of accusation and abuse spread all over the capital. Some people say that he has been "poisoned by foreign countries". Some people accused him of saying, "For this, I don't know what it means to be honest!" And what is the heart of the carver! Li Gaoyang, Minister of Military Aircraft and Prime Minister of the Yamen, was even more "very unfair and slandered by others", and Jing Lian took the lead in participating in the impeachment of Guo Yunxian, and in this atmosphere of public opinion, He Jinshou lost no time in launching an attack on Guo Yunxian.

Judging from the content of the references, there are five main crimes against Guo Yunxian listed by He Jinshou: first, Guo Yunxian is accused of repeatedly saying that Russia and Britain are rich and strong, in order to curry favor with foreign countries, "losing heart and body, which is already shocking"; Secondly. He thinks that the most ridiculous thing is that Minister Guo actually said that the West has been established for 2,000 years. and political and religious cultivation, intellectual victory; Third, Guo Yunxian's various words and deeds "will stop the national body and generate hostility, and directly destroy the righteous indignation of the world with the conspiracy of Kuang Ji, loyal ministers"; Fourth, "Therefore, Zhang Da intimidated the words", "coerced to shock the imperial court", "shook the hearts of the people in the world", and had ill intentions, "I have no such courtiers." In short, "the words are perverse, and the body is humiliated and the country is humiliated", so it is necessary to "strictly destroy the ban, and the hearts of the people in the world can still be remedied". In He Jinshou's view, he did not believe that the West would be richer and stronger than the Celestial Empire, with a clear political and religious cultivation, and intellectual victory. He Jinshou really deserves to be called Hanlin, and the poison of his words and the ruthlessness of his shots are very human.

He Jinshou's ginseng is another poisonous arrow shot at Guo Yunxian by the old-fashioned diehards. Guo Yunxian, who had just arrived as the minister, was full of enthusiasm and reported in detail to the imperial court the plain and objective account of what he had seen, discussed, and felt along the way, so that the people could have a better understanding of the world, but he did not expect to be impeached by He Jinshou in this way, and under such a vicious attack, it was not only Guo Yunxian himself, but also a ruthless ravaging of the advanced scholars and doctors of China who were deeply aware of the danger.

In response to He Jinshou's rampant attack, the Westernists felt threatened and began to fight back. In the midst of opposition from the government and the opposition, Li Shaoquan expressed his support for Guo Yunxian's "Chronicles of the West". After Guo Yunxian went overseas, Li Shaoquan corresponded closely with him. In a letter to Guo Yunxian, Li Shaoquan said that after receiving his "Xinghai Diary" from the Prime Minister's Yamen, he "read it again and again" and praised him for "discussing the facts, making the 'Diary of the West' better than Hong Xing's 'Diary of the West', which can be described as broadening his horizons." In an official letter to Prime Minister Yamen, Li Shaoquan bluntly said: "Although the scale of Western politics and religion has not yet reached the place, I have paid attention to the consultation and study for several or two decades, and I have also heard a little outline." He also cited the fact that he had broken through many obstacles and overcome all kinds of difficulties to set up foreign affairs. Li Shaoquan was unhappy for Guo Yunxian: "Although Yunxian is stupid, and the foreign affairs are indeed insightful, it is not said that the slander is so bad, if the officials and nobles are cited as a warning, there will be no period of rejuvenation in Middle Earth, and there will be no way to survive in the future, which can be chilling." ”

With the strong support of Li Shaoquan and the protection of Prince Jing Yixin and Minister of Military Aircraft Wen Bochuan, who presided over the premier's yamen, Guo Yunxian was not only not deposed, but received the power of "warm condolences" and "the negotiation of the Yunnan case can be done cheaply".

Although he was scolded by the old-fashioned diehards from top to bottom, Guo Yunxian felt great comfort that the imperial court did not waver in its trust in him. Soon, the imperial court sent a telegram of condolences: "...... The waiter is sincere and tireless, and he is hereby commended. Guo Yunxian is relieved to serve as British minister until today, instead of resigning and returning to China after two years of work.

In the face of Liang's inquiry, Guo Yunxian couldn't tell her that she was simple and kind, it was the grandfather of the child named Chen Wei that she liked very much, and Chen Tingxuan, who was most respected by overseas Chinese, sent someone to do it, and he also understood that Chen Tingxuan did this completely to protect himself, so he could only hide this matter deep in his heart, but sometimes he asked his heart at night, he who has always been loyal and upright and will not engage in conspiracy and tricks, will inevitably feel guilty.

"It's been a few years since the incident, and the master remembers it again, which is not good." Liang comforted Guo Yunxian and said, "Master, don't think about these things, it will only increase your troubles, consume your mind, how many big things you need to know, you still have to wait for the master to do it, you need to have a good rest, don't think about the past." She saw that Guo Yunxian's expression was particularly depressed, so she wanted to divert his attention with something else, "Isn't Master Ming'er going to teach the Chen family's little master Wei'er early in the morning?" It's better to rest early. I'll have to get him some rock sugar gourds tomorrow. ”

Speaking of Chen Wei, Liang, who has no children now, unconsciously showed a warm smile on his face.

Coming to the UK, Chen Wei can be said to be her favorite child.
