"Mr. Nanping, you are forcing me!"

When the words came out, the atmosphere in the study changed, and when he heard this, Liu Nengxian, who was sitting on the side, smiled slightly.

Xu was so cautious before, but it was just a way to protect himself!

Thinking that he almost caught his way, Liu Nengxian's previous unhappiness in his heart was swept away, and he had a few more good feelings for the young man in front of him, who was only twenty-six or seventeen.

It's rare to be so steady at such a young age.

"However, then, after watching your words, my uncle sighed, and said, I am afraid that you will not be able to finish your words, and I don't know if you can say everything today!"

Drinking tea, Liu Nengxian seemed to ask casually, the reason why he came to Shanghai this time was to negotiate with the Customs Department for the transfer of taxes, but since he met this person in Sun Mansion today, he wanted to hear whether the person in front of him was serious and had a later word, and responded to his uncle's speculation, after all, there are only a handful of people who can be praised by his uncle now.

"Lord Liu, that's just a little wild talk from the juniors!"

Although he gritted his teeth, when the words came to his mouth, Chen Moran still changed his words, after all, sometimes it is better to be cautious, especially in this era of official authority.

Liu Nengxian's words surprised Sun Jingnan, and he tasted the meaning of his words before, but he was more and more shocked, and his gaze changed a little when he looked at Chen Moran.

"Hehe, then, don't blame you, I asked you what you think about the current situation that day, if it wasn't interrupted by something temporary, I'm afraid there will be a later story! These days, I have been thinking about your unfinished words all night, and now you can say a little bit more. ”

As he spoke, Sun Jingnan glanced at Chen Moran, the young man in front of him still grew up in foreign countries, and he didn't know that there were people in the court who were good officials, and it was the same for them to do business.

Ignoring Sun Jingnan's eyes, Chen Moran's heart sank, and he only said it? The reason why I know a little about these is because of a paper I read in a magazine when I was in college, and the analysis in that paper is nothing more than an afterthought, but it is placed in this time and space.

Since...... After serving tea and pondering for more than ten seconds, Chen Moran raised his head and looked at Liu Nengxian in front of him, the son and nephew of the Governor of Liangjiang, if he could win the favor of him and the Governor of Liangjiang, he was afraid that it would only be beneficial to him in the future and not harmless.

"Even if Lord Liu and Mr. Nanping insist on letting the juniors say, then please forgive the juniors for their rudeness!"

Nodding with satisfaction, Liu Nengxian looked at the self-proclaimed junior in front of him, a young man who seemed humble but had no humility.

"Uncle Yu once said that you can see through the discord between countries and solve the current crisis!"

Liu Nengxian's words made Sun Jingnan, who was holding a teacup, startled, and looked at Chen Moran almost incredulously, what he admired about this person was not because of his knowledge, but more because of the scene of "industry to save the country", rich people and strong country, rich people and strong country, no industry can not enrich the people, no industry can not strengthen the country, but Lord Xianzhuang actually said that he can solve the current crisis.

The reason why Sun Jingnan asked him about his views on the current situation that day was that he was anxious after seeing the signing of the outline of the agreement, and he was anxious to take medicine, this kind of thing can't always ask if a foreigner is not, and Chen Moran in front of him happened to grow up in Europe and the United States since he was a child, almost half a foreigner, but who would have thought that it would lead to his words.

"To solve the current crisis, I am afraid that Mo Ran will not be able to do this, and now that the state affairs are so far, they are all self-inflicted disasters, and the enterprise can be solved by the younger generations?"

As soon as Chen Moran's words came out, the faces of Liu Nengxian and Sun Jingnan changed at the same time.

"Bold!"

Liu Nengxian's face turned pale, and he shouted solemnly.

"Don't dare to declare war on the eight countries!"

Chen Moran will not have the previous scruples, even if they want to listen, let them listen to enough! Regardless of the sudden change in the expressions of the two.

The Eight-Nation Alliance entered Yanjing, such a shame and humiliation, the outside is that the great powers are ambitious for China, but inside, it is simply bitter wine brewed by itself, and dare to declare war on the eight major powers of the world with the power of one country, I am afraid that the world will not find anyone more courageous than that old lady. "At this time, the situation has reached the extreme, Lord Liu, who do you think can solve this crisis!"

When asked rhetorically, the corners of Chen Moran's lips lifted.

What's more, half a month ago, he Li Hongzhang and Prince Qing signed the "Outline of Peace" on behalf of the Qing Dynasty, even if there is a solution, what is the use, this is the signing of the outline of the peace that has exhausted China's financial and military forces, except for maneuvering around in that frame and barely striving for some benefits, what other way can we discuss? ”

"Qin Hui, the traitor, Li Hongzhang!"

Liu Nengxian and Sun Jingnan hated and scolded almost at the same time.

"Humph!"

The hatred and scolding of the two made Chen Moran sneer, and as soon as the little wild surname in his bones was forced out, he had no scruples

Chen Moran's sneer made Liu Nengxian and Sun Jingnan feel extremely uncomfortable, and the two looked at Chen Moran with a sneer, and their expressions became unnatural.

"Li Hongzhang has misled the country, but my lord, sir, in the end, this country is not what he wants to mistake!"

Liu Nengxian and Sun Jingnan's faces changed again, this time it was not embarrassment, but helplessness.

"We can be right at all times, generous and outspoken at all times, but this is just a show, not a solution!"

The meaning of Chen Moran's words made Liu Nengxian and Sun Jingnan, who had just scolded Li Hongzhang, look slightly embarrassed, and couldn't help but smile awkwardly, he was telling the truth.

"For those who are not good at judging the situation and do not hesitate to declare war on the eight countries, perhaps the most fortunate thing for them is to meet such a loyal slave as Li Hongzhang."

Chen Moran's face was full of pity when he spoke, as if he was feeling sorry for his fellow countryman.

"Although the catastrophe that happened in the summer of '36 could have been completely avoided, since it happened, he Li Hongzhang had to do his best to maintain the situation, and also to eliminate the investigation of the coalition forces and maintain the position of those people. Such a slave is really loyal, and for the sake of this crumbling court, Li Hongzhang is making his last effort. ”

Although Chen Moran said irreverently and even disobediently this time, what was surprising was that Liu Jingxian just listened quietly, did not say anything bold, nor did he say anything unspeakable, but just listened contemplatively.

"When the Gengzi Incident and the Eight-Nation Coalition Army entered the capital, and the imperial court announced that Li Hongzhang would be the ambassador for peace and rushed to Yanjing from Guangzhou, the entire Yanjing City was looking forward to Li Hongzhang's arrival. It is indeed the case, when the entire Qing Kingdom fell into the greatest disaster, the capital fell, and those officials died, died, or stood by and begged for self-preservation, and were insensitive! ”

Chen Moran's gaze gently swept over Liu Nengxian's face, he only said half of his words, as for the second half, he couldn't say it, and he couldn't say it, here he could scold Li Hongzhang and the old ladies, but he must not scold some other people.

Only Li Hongzhang can be regarded as standing up and taking a different path, that is, exchanging personal humiliation and sacrifice for the greatest relaxation of the situation. He Li Hongzhang is shrewd, how can he not know? In the midst of danger, people here,"

Chen Moran looked at the two people in front of him, and pointed to his feet with his hand.

"Extremely good-looking, extremely arrogant and inferior, they don't want to face the facts, they don't reflect on themselves, they just look outward and actively look for scapegoats. When they find a scapegoat, they often do not hesitate to push the blame away, and then they raise their arms and denounce it. With such a mentality and surname Xi, he Li Hongzhang has always seen it very clearly, and he is very familiar with all this. ”

When Chen Moran spoke, he couldn't help but shake his head in a pity for himself, the original outline was certain, and the whole country could be said to have scolded Li Hongzhang, when he first came to Shanghai, the newspapers he read were all articles scolding Li Hongzhang for forgetting his roots and betraying the country to seek glory. When he said this, whether it was Liu Nengxian or Sun Jingnan's expressions changed because of his words, they were just one of those good-looking, arrogant and inferior people.

But he couldn't dodge, he couldn't escape, so he had to go to the forefront. If he doesn't go to hell, who will? Maybe the only thing Li Hongzhang can comfort himself with is that such a move has avoided further life and life, saved his Great Qing Kingdom, and the court he has served all his life can finally return to the capital! ”

At this point, Chen Moran's face showed some mockery and helplessness.

"Okay, now Li Erhan's great name is real!"

Liu Nengxian, who had been sitting upright on the chair, holding the teacup in his hand, looked at Chen Moran, who had been cautious and had no scruples, raised his hand and stroked the tea leaves in the cup with the lid of the cup.

"If Li Hefei listens to you! I'm afraid that I am extremely relieved! When you want to come, I am afraid that you will be indispensable from the title of three products, and one day, you can also be a feudal official for one party! ”

Liu Nengxian's words made Chen Moran startled, thinking that he had seen the Xianghuai discord scene in the TV series, and he dared to go on, so he hurriedly bowed.

"Adults are really promoting juniors, and the juniors in this life have no big ambitions, and they are nothing more than doing their own business and making more money! On the official side, you still have to rely on a virtuous person like an adult, and the younger generation is at most...... At best, it's just a gibberish idler. ”

Liu Nengxian's fine eyes flashed, and he looked directly at Chen Moran, who seemed to be panicked in his expression.

"What! However, you are afraid! ”

"I'm afraid!"

Bending over and hanging his head, Chen Moran gritted his teeth and said.

"Junior, how can you not be afraid!"

"Say!"

With a soft drink, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense, and Sun Jingnan, who was sitting behind the desk, immediately cried out bitterly in his heart.

"The younger generation's bones are not soft, I am afraid that if I become an official, I will be cut down one day!"

"Even if the bones are hard, why are you afraid of being cut down!"

"The knees are hard and can't bend, so they are broken, and the neck is hard, but it's not as hard as a knife! However, these eight and a half pounds of head still want to hold on! ”

"Smack!"

Liu Nengxian patted a few times, stood up and looked directly at Chen Moran, and his originally solemn face smiled.

"Good! It's a hard knife! ”
