Chapter 31: The Argument (2)
In the history of Zhao Wushuang's previous life, there is a saying that there are "four famous ministers of the late Qing Dynasty". Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
They are Zeng Guofan, Zuo Zongtang, Li Hongzhang, and Zhang Zhidong.
All of them have made achievements in various fields and have played a great role in promoting the overall development of China!
But in reality, there has always been controversy surrounding them.
Among them, there is more talk, naturally why not anti-Qing? Why not replace it?
In fact, the reason is very simple, one is that the time has not come. They are in the prime of life and at the peak of their power, and they are full of energy. Second, because the Manchus have occupied Shenzhou for a long time, they have formed a certain foolish and loyal thinking......
And now, the reason why Zao Wushuang wants to meet them.
I just want to tell them that although the Manchu Qing still rules Shenzhou itself, the day of its demise is not far off! If they join it, they will be able to recover the Hanjia rivers and mountains faster! When the time comes, there will be a strong reputation in history.
The next morning.
Before noon, Zeng Guofan had already arrived at Yuelai Restaurant in advance.
This time, he didn't bring too many entourage, only an elite guard with a dragon and a tiger. This guard is a top master at a glance, and he is definitely a grandmaster-level powerhouse in the martial arts. This is not to say that he has the confidence to resist or test Zhao Wushuang in his heart, but it is just habitual......
The private dining area of Yuelai Restaurant is very private. There was no one around.
"In the Xia Zeng State Domain, I am here for a banquet!"
There was no answer, so he had to say it again.
Crunch.
The door opened, but Zuo Zongtang's face was revealed inside. The other party was also stunned: "Zeng ...... Zeng-sama? How could it be you? ā
As soon as this sentence came out, Zeng Guofan knew that the other party was also the one who was "invited" to participate. I could only nod: "Lord Zuo arrived earlier than the official, and I also came to this mysterious person's banquet." ā
It turns out that the main lord has not yet arrived.
At this moment, a hearty and bold laugh suddenly sounded behind him.
"Haha, senior brother, they arrived quite early. Fortunately, we have already prepared the meal, otherwise it would be too bad to make the guests hungry. ā
A big man who was more than six feet tall and had bulging muscles like a giant appeared in front of Zeng Guofan and Zuo Zongtang. The feeling of oppression that came to my face was as if I was surrounded by countless terrifying beasts and stared at it!
Both were shocked. I saw Zhao Wushuang standing next to him, who looked like a noble son in white.
"Lord Zeng and Lord Zuo arrived very early, and it is an honor to invite the two of them."
Zhao Wushuang said with a casual smile as he invited both of them to enter the door. Hu Lie in the back closed the door with his hand.
Zeng Guofan and Zuo Zongtang were shocked, glanced at each other, and followed in and sat on the wide banquet table.
The atmosphere was a little awkward, and no one spoke.
It was still Hu Lie who shouted: "What, it's my senior brother who is talking to you, I'll eat delicious food first......" After speaking, he buried his head and began to eat a nonsense meal. Zeng Guofan and his little friend Zuo Zongtang were stunned.
Zhao Wushuang smiled apologetically: "Please forgive me, my junior brother has been in the mountains for a long time." I don't understand the etiquette of the world, Zeng and Zuo Haihan. ā
For these two famous ministers, Zhao Wushuang still maintained basic respect. So the words are quite polite.
As soon as Zeng and Zuo heard the words "they have been in the mountains for a long time" and "they don't understand the etiquette of the world", they determined that they might be masters of cultivation outside the world.
"Sure enough, it's that kind of hidden master! Fortunately, he didn't refuse his invitation, otherwise he ......" Both of them felt a little empty in their hearts.
"Come on, don't be so restrained. Eat first, eat first. Zhao Wushuang greeted them.
After all, the three of them are all people in high positions, and they also have a good understanding of human feelings. Although he was preoccupied, after eating and drinking, he was still happy on the surface.
After three rounds of drinking, Zhao Wushuang put down his wine glass and said lightly: "Both of them are high-ranking party members, and I want to ask one thing." Please also be honest with us. However, this is a bit private, and I am afraid that it is not suitable for others to know. ā
Both of them chuckled in their hearts: the meat show is coming! Sure enough, there is nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace.
After Zhao Wushuang finished speaking, he waved his hand directly without waiting for Zeng Guofan and Zuo Zongtang to react.
The elite guards of the two were actually swept up by an invisible gust of wind and flew towards the door! The door of the box also opened automatically with a clang, and the two guards were placed at the door by Zhao Wushuang, and the door closed again.
The guard was terrified in his heart, and was about to rush in again, but a voice sounded in his head: "Don't move, your master will not be in danger." If you move, you will be in danger. ā
The two of them didn't dare to move.
At the same time, Zeng Guofan and Zuo Zongtang in the box looked horrified. It took a long time to come to his senses and raise his head and drink a glass of wine.
Zeng Guofan said: "Sure enough, it is an immortal method, which is unimaginable to mortals such as us!" ā
"Okay now, you two talk freely. I would like to ask you what you think of the newly rising Chinese kingdom in southern Asia. What do you think? ā
The Kingdom of China!!?
Zeng and Zuo gasped.
This miraculous rise of overseas Chinese countries, they naturally know. Not only do you know, but you also know the ins and outs.
There used to be a sect called the Dragon God Sect in Shenzhou, which established a force and had been in obscurity since the Daoguang period. It wasn't until the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom rose up against the Qing Dynasty that it suddenly attacked, occupied the seven southern provinces in an instant, and directly established the country. Later, for some unknown reasons, he suddenly left and went to an overseas country......
After that, it's like Kaihang, conquering all the way and building a huge and powerful empire!
Seeing the expressions of the two, Zhao Wushuang was not in a hurry, but just waited patiently.
"Dare to ask if the immortal is from the Huaxia Divine Kingdom?"
"You don't have to worry about this, I just want to hear your truest thoughts, don't have any scruples and hide." Zhao Wushuang said, after a pause, he added: "It was out of respect for the two of you that I wanted to drink and talk in person. Otherwise, with the means below, I really want to know something, why bother with all this effort? ā
This is the threat of hidden needles!
Zeng and Zuo also knew that with Zhao Wushuang's unpredictable methods last night and just now, I am afraid that they can really control themselves. So these words are indeed true.
The two smiled bitterly and arched their hands: "Thank you for looking down on the old man." ā
Zeng Guofan stroked his beard and said after a moment's silence: "Let me tell you my opinion first." The Kingdom of China is a very powerful country, and it is also a country that values profit over courtesy. The old man has been keeping an eye on their development. From the time of the Dragon God Sect until the founding of the country. Although they are Chinese people, their methods and political structure are completely different from China's Chinese etiquette, but similar to those of the Western powers. ā
Zuo Zongtang also echoed on the side: "What Lord Zeng said is extremely true, and the old man also thinks that although the Huaxia Divine Kingdom is strong, it may be lost in the national system." The words of the sage, the monarch and the minister, the father and the son. This is often the case. When I look at the state system of the European powers, it is really rebellious to not be a king or a minister. In fact, we also have a similar view of the Chinese Divine Kingdom. It is similar to the Western powers, but it has lost the essence of China. ā
Listening to the words of the two, Zhao Wushuang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but also felt that it was not bad as he expected. (To be continued.) )
