In the dream, it seems that I have returned to a few decades ago, back to the scene when I led the Huai army to Shanghai, and it was from then on that the Huai army ushered in a new day, and it was from then on that the Huai army began to replace the Hunan army step by step to become the pillar of the Qing Dynasty. In the following decades, in the face of various constraints, he did not consider becoming the emperor himself, but in the end, the teacher's choice made him stop.

Sacrifice the country for one family and one surname.

Sacrifice the country for one family and one surname.

Mr. Shi Lin's words kept flashing in his mind, and finally the thunderous words woke him up from his dream, and when he woke up, he saw the panicked scriptures and scriptures, both of them were standing there, and Zhou Fu and others were also standing there, and everyone had a trace of sadness on their faces.

"Father, Adult......

Without waiting for them to ask, Li Hongzhang stared at everyone and asked.

"What's going on out there?"

Li Hongzhang's words made everyone look at each other, as if they were considering whether they should say it, **** Jingfang hesitated for a moment and then spoke.

"Father, he Tang Haoran did Zhao Kuangyin in Shenyang, but don't worry, father, when you turn around, your son will transfer troops to recruit this rebellious ...... for the imperial court."

Li Jingfang's words made Li Hongzhang glance at him, and his eyes were full of disappointment.

Isn't this exactly what he was afraid of back then?

Back then, when the Eight Banners and the Green Battalion were unusable, as the supreme commander of the Huai Army, when he was facing suppression, at the request of many cronies and generals, as long as his heart moved slightly, the Chen Qiao Mutiny would repeat itself, and it was not impossible for the yellow robe to be added. However, what will inevitably follow is more brutal bloody fighting, and more protracted sword fighting. Perhaps, as soon as he ascends the throne in the southeast, someone will immediately claim the title of king in the northwest and emperor in the Central Plains, and the entire land of China will never have a single land of tranquility, and hundreds of millions of people will have no day of respite.

And now, Li Jingfang's words made him want to refute and refute Shen Shilin, he Li Hongzhang is not just for one family and one surname, he doesn't want to see China fall into war again, and he doesn't want to see the people in calamity again......

"When will you decide this important military matter!"

After deciding Li Jingfang's fate with a cold word, Li Hongzhang stood up and looked at Zhou Fu and the others and said.

"For so many years, Zhuyou and Hongzhang have never given up, it seems that I, Li Hongzhang, still owe you after all......"

When everyone said that they had never owed, Li Hongzhang did not say anything, but said to Li Jingshu.

"As it is said, help me to the West Garden."

Li Hongzhang, who had just woken up from a coma, wanted to go outdoors and walk around.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, and although it was afternoon, it was like dusk. In Tianjin's Mid-Autumn Festival, the climate is usually still cold, and today it is even more cold. Li Hongzhang, who was wearing a fur coat, could still feel the cold.

"Father, it's cold outside, I'll help you go to the flower hall for a walk!"

Li Jingshu said softly dissuasion.

"I haven't been to the garden for a few days, so come and see with me!"

Faced with his father's request, Li Jingshu, who served his relatives and was filial, helped him out and walked towards the back garden of the yamen. The cold wind blew on his face, and Li Hongzhang immediately felt a trace of coldness.

"It's the autumn wind, and it's different from the summer."

Li Hongzhang thought so in his heart, this wind is blowing from the north.

"Do you think what the scriptures said earlier is correct?"

"Back to my father, the eldest brother has the idea of the eldest brother."

Li Jingshu, who regarded his brother as a father, truthfully expressed his thoughts, and he didn't want to blame anything.

"You're just too sincere!"

Shaking his head, Li Hongzhang smiled helplessly,

"But that's fine, so that he can tolerate you! As for the scriptures......"

As for Jing Fang's side, he couldn't ask, and he didn't need to ask again.

"If it is...... If you are asked to do this, what will you do? ”

Suddenly, for no reason, Li Hongzhang asked his son's thoughts.

What's up?

was slightly stunned at first, and Li Jingshu knew what his father wanted to ask, but he didn't dare to answer for a while.

"Say, let's talk here now, don't have any worries! But I'm going to listen to you the truth. ”

As soon as his father said this, Li Jingshu was relieved, but when he spoke, he still observed his father's face.

"I, I will meet, the above table is called the minister......"

"Oh, why is that?"

Seeing that his father was not angry, Li Jingshu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Child, the child doesn't have the ability of a father and brother, I thought, if I go to the table, even if he kills me, at least, I can at least protect those people in the house, Bi, after all, they have been with their father for so many years, no, I can't let them accompany our Li family to ...... together"

"Yes, we can't let them go to a dead end with us, we always owe them ......"

Nodding, Li Hongzhang shook his head but said.

"According to the scriptures, although you call Tang Ziran your brother, you still don't know him after all, this person ......"

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and Li Hongzhang felt dizzy, so he leaned over and fell on his son's body. Li Jingshu hurriedly helped his father, and shouted loudly in a hurry.

"Someone's coming!"

The servants who were in the garden rushed to hear the news and hurriedly carried Li Hongzhang into the hall. Li Jingshu told people to hurry up to the doctor, and at the same time instructed to make the mattress. Not long after, Li Hongzhang woke up, and his lips were naturally closed, but he couldn't speak anymore. He shook his hand and pointed to the Taishi chair in the middle of the hall. Li Jingshu understood, and asked the servant to carry his father to the side of the chair and help him to sit down slowly. At this time, everyone in the palace had already rushed to the palace in a panic, and the hall was crowded with people.

After a while, the doctor also entered the house, squatted beside Li Hongzhang, probed his pulse for examination, and pricked a few more stitches. Seeing that he still couldn't speak, he panicked, hurriedly called Li Jingshu aside, and whispered:

"Lao Zhongtang is dangerously ill, you call all the grandchildren over."

Li Jingshu knew that something was wrong, so he hurriedly asked his daughter-in-law to bring her son up; He walked up to his father and held his hands. The hand was cold to the bone.

Soon, Li Jingfang also came, and the family gathered around Li Hongzhang. The women would have been crying for a long time. Li Hongzhang barely raised his head, glanced at everyone, and hung his head weakly. After a long time, he pulled his right hand out of Li Jingshu's hands and pointed at the signing room, and everyone didn't understand what he was referring to. The Chinese medicine doctor on the side hurriedly said:

"The old hall can't speak anymore, and he's anxious, so it's better to carry his old man and his chair to the signing room."

So everyone gathered around the Taishi chair and entered the signing room. After the chair was straightened, Li Hongzhang raised his hand again and pointed to the desk. Li Jingfang immediately picked up the official document on the desk, and Li Hongzhang shook his head. Seeing that it was wrong, he moved the stack of letters again, and Li Hongzhang shook his head again. There was only one roll of paper left on the desk. Li Jing recounted the past and brought the roll of paper to his father, Li Hongzhang nodded.

Li Jingshu opened it and looked at it, and a line of words appeared on the paper: The scriptures are written.

He didn't know what to do, and everyone watched. I saw Li Hongzhang raise his hand again with difficulty and pointed to his mouth. Li Jingfang hurriedly said.

"Second brother, dad told you to read!"

It was already cloudy outside, the cold wind was howling, and the hour was still only the beginning of the unitary, but it was as if it was the middle of the night, and the electric lights were lit up in the signing room, and the room was much brighter. Li Jingshu unfolded the paper with both hands and read it in a trembling voice. At the beginning, the content of the paper was nothing more than the family motto, which was the habit of many high-ranking families since Zeng Guofan, in order to be able to pass on the family motto to their children and grandchildren, then the Yu family could be prosperous for a long time, and there were talents from generation to generation.

There was not a single sound in the signing room or even in the entire Beiyang Governor's yamen, and they were all quietly listening to Li Jingshu's crying reading. This word flowed into everyone's hearts like a medicinal soup, spicy, bitter and sweet, everything.

“……”

Suddenly, Li Jingshu's words were paused, and he looked at his father, as if he wanted to get affirmation from his father, only to see Li Hongzhang nodding hard and signaling him to continue reading.

"The second son inherited the post of Minister of Beiyang ......"

What the!

When he heard this, Li Jingfang only felt dizzy, why not himself? He couldn't hear what Li Jingshu read next, and there was only one thought left in his mind at this time-he was not biological in the end. Thinking of this, he only felt a sadness in his heart.

After his son finished reading, Li Hongzhang tried to reach out again and pointed to his chest.

Despite the sad mood, Li Jingfang still said it with Li Jingshu.

"We must take our father's teachings to heart!"

Looking at the melancholy in his father's eyes, Li Jingshu thought of the previous conversation with his father, so he nodded and said.

"Father, rest assured, the child will never lose the kindness of your uncles to the Li family over the years......"

His son's words made Li Hongzhang's face show a shallow smile, his head tilted, and he fell on the Taishi chair, and when the doctor on the side hurriedly went to help, his neck was already stiff!

"Old Middle Hall!"

The cry of the doctor from the Tai Hospital in Nafu frightened the people in the detention room into earth, and everyone cried loudly as if they had been awakened, and the strict Yamen of the Beiyang Governor was immediately soaked in deep grief.

At this moment, the pitch-black sky rolled through a roar, and in the twenty-eighth year of Guangxu, it was extremely rare to the point that the autumn thunder exploded above the head of Tianjin City, followed by a series of lightning and thunder. The wind blew harder and harder, and the cold wind wrapped in the pouring rain poured down.

It's strange to be raining down at this time! It was wet and black, like a vast black cloth, which surrounded the heavens and the earth, so that people could not distinguish between the north and the south, and the east and west, and could not distinguish the houses and streets.

This torrential downpour lashed the earth mercilessly. Those flowers and trees in the back garden of the yamen, which had grown up with great difficulty under the manipulation of the gardener, suffered an unexpected catastrophe at this time. The green leaves of the bamboo were knocked off, the slender oblique branches were twisted, and even the main trunk was uprooted, lying on the ground and moaning, which was unbearable.

The four big red palace lamps hanging outside the gate of the Governor's Office were swayed left and right by the strong wind, although there were eaves to cover it, they still could not resist the invasion of the torrential rain, and the splashing rain soaked on the silk bit by bit, which looked particularly thin and cold in the wind and rain.

The rain seemed to be unwilling, it fell more violently, with a whirring sound from time to time, and the rain was like a mournful people, expressing its own thoughts with the pouring raindrops.

All things are wailing, people's hearts are trembling, heart-rending cries, sobbing sobs, combined with the rare electric rain and thunder in this autumn day, it is so sad, so terrifying, as if the heavens are about to crack, the earth is about to collapse, like the mountains are shaking, and the water is whimpering. It made people suddenly feel that the so-called Great Qing Kingdom was about to fall into a place of no return together with the person in front of him who was protecting it with an iron heart!

It was in that rainstorm that Li Jingshu, who was full of tears and almost wanted to cry, finally recovered a little, he looked at the uncles around him, and said in words full of sadness.

"My father has passed away, although the little nephew inherited his father's order and temporarily appointed the post of Minister of Beiyang, he always needs to be presented to the imperial court......"

Before he finished his words, the people around him were surprised, the imperial court? Is there still a court now? Seeing the second brother like this, Li Jingfang, who only thought that he was sad and lost his mind, hurriedly reminded softly on the side.

"Second brother, the capital is in chaos now, I don't know where the emperor and queen mother are, how can I tell them at this time......"

Looking at the eldest brother and the uncles around him, Li Jingshu took a deep breath.

"I said it's not the capital, it's Shenyang!"

The heaven and earth seemed to cooperate with his words, and there was another thunderclap, and the thunder almost sounded above everyone's heads, but it couldn't cover the impact of Li Jingshu's words on people.

Shenyang...... Tang Ziran!

Thinking of Tang Ziran, who was already in the yellow robe in Shenyang, everyone immediately understood what Li Jingshu meant, and also knew what this telegram meant after it was sent, which meant that Beiyang would recognize the emperor who had just ascended the throne.

"Second brother, you, you,"

Li Jingfang looked at the second brother in surprise, he never thought that the second brother would be "so confused".

"Second brother, this telegram can't be sent, as soon as it is sent, our Beiyang will be finished."

Li Jingfang's unscrupulous words did not have any impact on Li Jingshu, he just quietly looked at the uncles around him, and did not pay attention to the annoyed and angry eldest brother, looking at the uncles, he said quietly.

"Before my father died, I had an explanation, if there was no help from your uncles over the years, there would be no Li family today, and the Li family must not harm your uncles for their own selfishness......"

Before Li Jingshu's words were finished, Zhou Fu was already in tears, and the people around him burst into tears again. And Li Jingshu continued.

"The father of the family has not sacrificed the country for the sake of a family name, and it can't be the case today, but in the end, the father of the family is still ashamed of the people of the world, after all, the father of the family chose to be a loyal minister of the Xinjue Luo clan, today, since the Tang Emperor has ascended the throne, the orthodoxy of China has been restored, and the little nephew has been the ...... of the book."

As he spoke, Li Jingshu bowed deeply to the uncle in front of him.

"I also ask your uncles to take the country as the main thing and help the little nephew, and don't let the people of this country fall into the flames of war......" (To be continued.) )
