"Good! Good! It's just great! Li Hongzhang couldn't help but applaud loudly when he heard this, "Even if Da Shanyan runs away, where can he go?" Let's let him live for two more days for the time being! ”

"That's what your lord said! It's just that if this little devil is not eliminated for a day, it will be a scourge after all. If you ask for your life, you can rush to Langfang, and join forces with Lord Song and Lord Ma to encircle and annihilate the Japanese army in Langfang in one fell swoop and recover Langfang! Ren Chao said loudly.

"You! It's an acute child! Li Hongzhang pointed at Ren Chao and shook his head and said, "Sit down first, let's say a few words!" ”

"Thank you, Lord Nakado!" Ren Chao thanked him and found a place to sit down.

"Zifeng! You are young and vigorous, and you are inevitably a little reckless. That guy really deserves to be killed, but I asked Youqiao to remind you that you have to pay attention to ways and means in everything you do, and blindly doing it brute will only get half the result. Don't quibble! Seeing that Ren Chao wanted to say something, Li Hongzhang hurriedly waved his hand and didn't give Ren Chao a chance to explain at all, "Do you think this little trick can escape my old eyes?" Then you couldn't be more wrong! After speaking, Li Hongzhang looked at Ren Chao with deep meaning.

Ren Chao actually expected that this matter might not be able to hide from Li Hongzhang, an old fox, but Ren Chao did not regret it, because Zhao Youde's bastard should really be killed, so he would take the blame. Seeing that Li Hongzhang had talked about this, Ren Chao didn't want to deny it, and said very simply, "Then what does Lord Zhongtang plan to do with his humble position?" ”

"Disposition? If I were to dispose of you, would I still sit here and talk to you? A smile appeared at the corner of Li Hongzhang's mouth, pointed at Ren Chao and said, "This time it's cheap, you kid!" That's it! Even if the emperor asks, what about me, Li Hongzhang? You can rest assured! The emperor wants to give me some face for this old guy, hehe" Speaking of this, Li Hongzhang laughed.

"Thank you Lord Zhongtang for your protection, there is nothing to repay for your humble duties, but in the future, Lord Zhongtang will have a life, and your humble duties will be obeyed." Ren Chao said respectfully.

"Zifeng is serious!" Li Hongzhang said with a smile. "I protect you this time, not to repay you, but to value your talents, the court needs talents like you now. However, this is only one time, and I will not take this example as an example! If you encounter anything in the future, you must be calm and never act recklessly. ”

"The lowly duty is written!" Ren Chao hurriedly said.

"Yes! Some people are going to scold me behind my back again, Li Hongzhang is short! Hehe! Li Hongzhang said with a self-deprecating smile.

Li Hongzhang obviously regarded Ren Chao as his own when he said this, but this was just Li Hongzhang's wishful thinking. Although Ren Chao was submissive on the surface, he didn't take this matter to heart at all. Because Ren Chao has nothing to fear. Not to mention that the person in front of him is just Li Hongzhang, even if it is Guangxu and Cixi, Ren Chao will not buy it.

"Lord Zhongtang's love and care makes me deeply ashamed of my humble position!" Ren Chao said respectfully.

Li Hongzhang waved his hand and said casually, "You just said you want to go to Langfang?" ”

"There are still more than 10,000 little devils in Langfang, it's best to get rid of them as much as possible." Ren Chao hurriedly responded, "Lord Zhongtang also knows that lowly duties are a quick temper, and this little devil will not be destroyed for a day. The humble job will not be able to be steady, so I hope that Lord Zhongtang will be gracious. ”

"Young people are eager to make meritorious contributions, this is a good thing, I naturally won't stop you. It's just that tonight the prince set up a banquet to celebrate the generals. How can you be missing the first hero to protect the country! Li Hongzhang said with a smile.

Lord Zhongtang's words were serious, and he was terrified. To say that the first hero of the country should be the first to recommend the Zhongtang Lord, if it were not for the Zhongtang Lord's strategy, it would be impossible for us to defeat the Japanese army. Therefore, the first hero of the country is none other than Lord Zhongtang, and his humble position is just acting according to the instructions of Lord Zhongtang, and he has made a small contribution. It's all thanks to Lord Nakado. Ren Chao slapped Li Hongzhang on the back, and even he felt blushing when he said it. I can't help but feel ashamed in my heart, it seems that my skin is still not thick enough! If you want to mix in this officialdom, you have to continue to cultivate, then the city wall of Beijing City is Ren Chao's current goal, when to cultivate to this kind of Cheng dù is considered a little successful.

"Hehe, when did you learn to pat yourself on the back!" Li Hongzhang looked at Ren Chao with a smile and said. What kind of person is Li Hongzhang! has been in a high position for a long time, what kind of flattery has not been heard, Ren Chao, a novice sycophant, is just a tickle for Li Hongzhang.

"Lord Zhongtang misunderstands the humble position, and all the humble words are from the bottom of my heart!" Ren Chao hurriedly explained.

"That's it! You go down and get some rest! In the evening, remember to go to the palace early for a banquet. Li Hongzhang also seemed to be a little tired, and waved his hand to signal that Ren Chao could retreat.

"Retire from your duties!" Ren Chao bowed and bowed, and respectfully withdrew.

At the banquet that night, Ren Chao stole the limelight, although Ren Chao has always been relatively low-key. But I can't stop someone deliberately pulling it up! At the banquet, whether it was Prince Gong, Yi 60, or Li Hongzhang, they all praised Ren Chaoda. pulled Ren Chao to make love, (don't think crookedly for a watchman, this book has always been relatively pure). It's no wonder who made Ren Chao make a great contribution this time! Especially Yi 60 tried his best to win over Ren Chao, so he almost married his underage granddaughter to him.

At that time, there was a saying that the Manchus and the Han did not intermarry, but in fact, it is accurate to say that the Qi and Han did not intermarry. When the Manchu Qing Dynasty was just rising, Nurhachi divided the Manchus into eight banners, which later became the Manchu Eight Banners. Later, the annexed Mongolian parts were divided into the Mongolian Eight Banners, and a group of Han people who were first attached to the Qing Dynasty were included in the Han Army Banner. In this way, the Qing Dynasty was mainly divided into two kinds of people, banner people and ordinary Han people. During the reign of Dolgon, in order to alleviate the contradictions between the Manchus and the Hans, a decree was issued to allow the Manchu and Han to intermarry, but the threshold was extremely high and it needed to be submitted to the Ministry of Household for review and approval. After his death, Dorgon was liquidated and posthumously stripped of his honor and title. The initiative of intermarriage between the Manchus and Han became one of Dorgon's great rebellions. Later, during the period when Ao Bai and other four ministers assisted the young Kangxi Emperor, the government became more conservative, and the government and the opposition blew a trend of restoring the old system of the ancestors of the Eight Banners. The relations between the Manchus and the Han people, which had eased up, were tense again, and the prohibition of intermarriage between the Manchus and the Han Dynasty became a rule of heaven, and the Manchus and Han people were not allowed to violate it, and the violators were severely punished, which has continued to this day.

Ren Chao's behavior of stealing the limelight naturally aroused the envy, jealousy and hatred of some narrow-minded people, and Ren Chao didn't care about this, Ren Chao was naturally not afraid of offending these people, because Ren Chao didn't take these people in his eyes at all.
