Since the sea route had been blocked by British and French armed merchant ships, and northern Jiangsu and southern Shandong were full of flames, it was not easy for Emperor Xianfeng's decree to be conveyed to Suzhou smoothly.

Therefore, at this time, the messenger of the decree could not find those old men with high moral integrity, but had to find young and strong, flexible brains, willing to endure hardships, and relatively low official positions. After choosing and choosing, Li Hongzao of the Qingliu faction was selected as the minister of the Qincha.

When Li Hongzao carried the holy decree, took a few servants, disguised himself as a merchant, and finally broke through Shandong, mixed with northern Jiangsu, met bandits, saw robbers, and stumbled all the way to Suzhou, but suddenly found that he could not find anyone to receive the decree. In other words, he, the messenger with the holy decree, is here, such a big matter, but Li Yongji, who received the decree, didn't even show his face at all, and the meaning of contempt was overflowing.

This made Li Hongzao, the minister of the Qincha, very angry, remembering the grievances he had suffered along the way, his temper immediately came up, and he shouted at the Suzhou Mansion, saying that he wanted to make Li Yongji look good, but when he finished his anger and found that his colleagues around him were indifferent, especially after Xue Huan was talking about it on the side, he knew the severity of the matter.

Although Li Hongzao's personality is more intense, he is not a stunned man, and he also knows how to deal with it flexibly, otherwise he would not have come here safely, so after finding out that things were stricter than he imagined, he no longer made a fuss, but asked Xue Huan with peace of mind.

Although Xue Huan was in a high position, as the governor of Jiangsu, he was also temporarily acting as the governor of Liangjiang, and was nominally the supreme person in charge of the Jiangnan region. But he is relatively tactful and sensitive to the analysis of strength, so after coming to Suzhou, he tried not to conflict with Li Yongji.

In other words, it was not Xue Huan who jumped up and down to cause trouble before, but Weng Tongyong, and now Weng Tongrong has entered the defeated rooster, and the angry ones are no longer on the board, and everyone understands who is the one who can be relied on. So he reattached himself to Xue Huan's side.

For Li Hongzao's questioning. In fact, Xue Huan also felt a headache, and he didn't have any good way, but he was very good at pretending, and he couldn't help it. But on the surface, it still looks like it's clear. It's as if everything is in his grasp.

Xue Huan first soothed Li Hongzao. said that Li Yongji was thirteen years old, still young, and did not understand etiquette. You can't take it as an ordinary person, you have to take your time.

In the end, I couldn't get past it, and I also felt that it was not a way to go on like this, plus Weng Tongyi was no longer good, and now it was up to him, so he always had to make a breakthrough and give everyone a little confidence.

In Xue Huan's opinion, the current situation is not difficult to handle, he still thinks that Li Yongji is just a child's heart, but he can't stand so many constraints, and he is still loyal to the court in his heart. Therefore, as long as we improve our methods and re-establish a good relationship with Li Yongji, the situation should change.

With such thoughts, Xue Huan took Li Hongzao with him and invited his killer feature.

What is Xue Huan's killer feature? In fact, he is a person, this person is not a big person, but he is said to have a close relationship with Li Yongji, and he is known as the only person who can restrain Li Yongji from messing around, and he is Li Yongji's mentor - Zhao Buqun!

Zhao Buqun was just a talented person, and his family was not a prestigious family, but he once opened the Chongwen Academy, and Li Yongji used to study in the Chongwen Academy. In other words, Zhao Buqun is Li Yongji's enlightenment teacher, and even Li Yongji's words are also given by Zhao Buqun.

However, Zhao Buqun is a bit old-fashioned, reading and reading a little roundabout, although his life is average, but he is arrogant and has a little clear meaning, so when Li Yongji made a fortune quickly, he did not mean to rely on his identity to stammer.

In fact, before Li Yongji's official worship of the governor of Jiangnan, his reputation among Jiangnan scholars was not good, even if Zhao Buqun did not have his own little self-esteem, even if he was for that reputation, he would not bother Li Yongji.

Although he himself disdained to befriend Li Yongji, as Li Yongji's enlightenment teacher, he was a strange commodity, and this was discovered by Xue Huan early, so he took him over early, and planned to use it as a hidden killer.

Before, Xue Huan had always hidden this killer weapon well, watching Weng Tong jump up and down with a cold eye, waiting for the other party to touch the ashes, when the officials he brought began to lose sincerity to him, he planned to find an opportunity to take out this killer weapon, and now is the time to use this killer weapon.

The Governor of Liangjiang visited with the minister, which made Zhao Buqun and honored, although he knew why these two ministers were polite to him, but still made his self-esteem feel very satisfied.

Therefore, without much speech, Zhao Buqun patted his chest, planning to preach Li Yongji well: "Jishi was raised by me since I was a child, in fact, his nature is not bad, but his temperament is a little stubborn, and he eats soft but not hard." In my class, he used to be the most naughty, often naughty and mischievous, and was punished by me many times, but he always failed to change his teaching, which gave me a lot of headaches. ”

"Extraordinary people naturally do extraordinary things." Xue Huan said with a smile, "Master Li has made such a big career in less than a year with less than a weak crown, so naturally he can't be regarded as an ordinary person. ”

"yes, who would have thought." Zhao Buqun also nodded with emotion, as if he remembered something from the past, "It's only been a long time, I still remember his naughty appearance that day, I didn't think he was anything special before, I really didn't expect that in such a short time, he would do such a big family business, thinking about it, but I am also a little embarrassed." ”

"But that doesn't excuse him for flouting the court." Li Hongzao was unhappy on the side, and seemed to be still angry, "Usually I heard how he flew and dominated, thinking it was just hearsay, but now when I see it, I find that those rumors are still light." You see, I brought the emperor's holy decree, or the holy decree of commendation, he can actually avoid it, do you say that he still has the royal law in his eyes? Is there still the emperor and the court? ”

"He's done something out of the ordinary this time, but I don't believe that's what he intended. How old is he, and what can he know? So it should be that there are villains around him who are instigating. Zhao Buqun nodded, "Well, it's time, I'll go with you and persuade him." He will still listen to me. ”

……

When Xue Huan, Li Hongzao and Zhao Buqun and their entourage personally went to the old camp of Yangxinju in Qingpu County, that is, the Qingpu Military Academy to find Li Yongji, they still did not see Li Yongji. However, this time because of Zhao Buqun's relationship, the gatekeeper of Qingpu Military Academy was quite polite. Didn't give them food behind closed doors. Instead, they were taken into the barracks for entertainment, and the principal Yu Hongrui was notified, so that Yu Hongrui could come over to entertain them in person.

This is rare, when Weng Tonggong sent people to find Li Yongji's theory in the past. It doesn't matter how many officials you are. They couldn't even enter the camp gate. This time, he was able to enter the camp gate, and let the nominal supreme governor here, Principal Yu, who is said to be second only to Li Yongji, personally accompany him. That's not your average face.

In other words, in fact, Yu Hongrui came here for the sake of Zhao Buqun's face, after all, Zhao Buqun's matter as Li Yongji's mentor is not a secret, and it is not at all for the sake of Xue Huan and Li Hongzao's face, Xue Huan is slightly aware of this, but Li Hongzao is still a little unclear.

Therefore, when he saw Yu Hongrui, a person with a bit of identity, came over, Li Hongzao, who had not yet extinguished the fire in his heart, immediately scolded, although the words were quite elegant and did not directly scold his mother, but there were many insulting words about Li Yongji, and everyone could still hear these disrespectful words, which made several soldiers standing guard at the door glaring angrily.

You must know that Li Yongji's prestige in the Jingwu Army is unparalleled for a while, and these people from Qingpu Military Academy are especially powerful, all of whom are Li Yongji's diehard brains. If you scold these people to their parents, they may just be angry, but if you scold Li Yongji to your face, then you have to fight with you, and it is a crime that is even more severe than insulting your parents.

Therefore, no matter how powerful Yu Hongrui is, in this case, he can't stop those soldiers who are furious because of the humiliation of their idols, fortunately, he still has a little brain, and he is not carried away by anger, knowing that the other party is a court official, and direct confrontation is to tear his face, I am afraid that it will ruin the adult's big thing, so the soldier took off the rifle on his shoulder at the door, and before he was ready to act, he slapped the table first.

"Bold!" Yu Hongrui stood up and shouted angrily, "What are you?" How dare Ann insult our family like this? Hmph, if I don't give you some color, you won't know how thick the sky is! Come! ”

"Yes!" The two furious soldiers at the door immediately ran in, although they were both staring at Li Hongzao with red eyes and very angry, but they did not take any further action. In other words, under Yu Hongrui's orders, they all subconsciously obeyed the order, and did not follow their anger and act on their own as before.

"This person dares to slander adults," Yu Hongrui pointed at Li Hongzao, "Arrest me immediately and confine me up!" ”

"Yes!" The two soldiers subconsciously joined their legs, and then pounced like a wolf, fiercely held down the angry Li Hongzao, and then one by one, in front of everyone, stuffed rags into his mouth, and punched him in the stomach a few times, and finally used the butt of the gun to hit him in the back of the head, and after the other party was unconscious, he dragged away like a dead dog.

As soon as we look at their methods, we know that they have received professional training, and the entire action of detaining people, beating and dragging people is smooth and not jerky, and it is Li Yongji's guard battalion commander Wu Shouyun who specially created the guard grappling technique and spread it in a big way.

It wasn't until the two soldiers dragged Li Hongzao away that Xue Huan and Zhao Buqun reacted, Xue Huan's eyelids just jumped, and he was quite stable, but Zhao Buqun was different, which directly subverted his previous concept.

Li Hongzao is an official of the imperial court, but the Qin Cha sent by the imperial court, he still has a holy decree in his arms, this, how can these people dare to treat a court official like this? Do they still have the royal law in their eyes? Is there still a court? Is there still an emperor?

"You, you!" Thinking of this, Zhao Buqun's whole body trembled, and he just pointed at Yu Hongrui angrily, "What are you doing here?" You are contempting the officials of the court! This is contempt for the imperial court! Yes, it's causing chaos for your family! ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Buqun seems to have found a reason, or figured it out, that is, Li Yongji is still a good boy, and this group of Qiu Ba is not good, and he does his own thing below, and as a result, his students are also affected by their reputation.

"I want to see your lords!" Zhao Buqun suddenly raised his voice, "I want to see the world!" I want to see Yongji! I will sue him with my own mouth, and I will sue him for what you have done! I'm going to show him what you're doing! You disrespectful guys, don't think you can fool everyone! Lang Lang Qiankun, Zhao Zhao Sun and Moon, you group of deceived things will not end well! ”

"Mr. Zhao, you don't have to be restless." Yu Hongrui smiled, and seemed to be indifferent to his words, at least on the surface, showing a lot of strength, "You are the mentor of our family, you want to see our family, we naturally dare not stop you." However, it is true that our family is not here at the moment, or that it is unfortunate that you are here, and your adult took someone to inspect the field as early as two days ago. ”

"Going to the field? Where did it go? Zhao Buqun asked closely, and his tone became harder and harder, as if after seeing Li Hongzao being escorted away, Xue Huan didn't dare to say anything, he somehow found a strange sense of superiority, and really thought that he was a big man here.

"We don't know." Yu Hongrui spread his hands, and at first glance, he was imitating Li Yongji's movements, and it also became a habit, "Where is the adult going, if he doesn't say it, how dare we ask?" ”

"This ......" also seemed to be a reason, but Zhao Buqun still didn't give up and continued to ask, "Then he didn't say when he would come back?" ”

"I didn't say that." Yu Hongrui shook his head, "I really didn't lie to you, I really didn't say this." ”

"This, this ......" At this moment, he was just a teacher, and he didn't have a lot of experience in dealing with people, Zhao Buqun was out of options, and he didn't know what to continue to say.

"Ahem." Xue Huan slowly stood up at this time and said, "Lord Li, as the governor of Jiangnan who is in charge of military affairs, has a noble status, and this is Lord Li's old camp, which is the most important thing. And you, as the henchmen of the adults who stayed here to take care of the family, will not have no way to connect with each other at all? In that case, if something happens here, how will you explain it to your family? ”

"Yes, yes!" Zhao Buqun also reacted, "Hugh has deceived me!" Even if Jishi wants to go to other places to inspect military affairs, there is no reason not to leave some contact methods! If you make your own decisions, aren't you afraid that your family will ask you when they come back? ”

"Huh." Yu Hongrui smiled again, "That's right, although the adult didn't tell us where he was going or when he would be back, I was not wrong." Of course, we do have a way to contact the adults directly, and because the adults can contact us at any time, the adults don't say where to go or when they will come back, because there is no need. It's just that you didn't ask this before, so it's not that I didn't say it. ”

"You, you! Strong words, strong words! "Zhao Buqun is really angry this time, don't look at his age is much older than Yu Hongrui, but in terms of eloquence and reaction ability, how can he compare with Yu Hongrui, who is young and vigorous, and has won the first place in various internal debates many times before?

"Okay, okay, in that case, then please have this ...... Sir, please help us contact your family. Xue Huan sighed secretly, as if he was slightly disappointed with this killer feature, "You just tell your family that this time it is the imperial court that has issued a holy decree of commendation, and it is a good thing to add officials to the knighthood, so that your family must rush back as much as possible and greet the holy decree first."
