Liu Rong said: "Then don't call him over quickly, but in order to avoid leaking the news, it is not appropriate to say it now, and tell him when you get to Changde Mansion." ”

Zeng Guoquan pretended to be, pretended to be so, and summoned Xie Zhengfeng in a loud voice, and he was not verbose, and ordered: "You will lead 2,000 people to Changde Mansion tomorrow and cooperate with the Changde Prefect to block the capital city." ”

"Obedience!"

Half a month later, Xie Zhengfeng rebelled in Changde Mansion and established the name of Tang Wang, he knew that the Hunan Hunan army was strong, so he changed his route to capture Yueyang and marched into Hubei.

Zeng Guoquan found Zeng Guofan early in the morning, held the official document in his hand, and shouted dancingly: "It's done!" It's done! Xie Zhengfeng's guy really rebelled! ”

Seeing him so profligate, Zeng Guofan suppressed the excitement in his heart and said, "Bastard! You've been standing for a long time, and you're still so ignorant of the system, you are like Meng Lang, how can I rest assured that you will be in charge! ”

Zeng Guoquan was surprised and delighted, knowing that his eldest brother intended to let him lead the army into Hubei, he immediately replied with a straight face: "Don't worry, the marshal will never live up to the marshal's expectations." ”

Zeng Guofan held Zeng Guoquan's back and advised: "This is the last battle of the Hunan army, I heard that Shi Dakai in northern Yunnan has also decided to surrender to the Han, so that China is only left with Sichuan, thinking that the Han army is strong and strong, Li Yunzhong will surrender and rebel, and we will not need to pacify Sichuan." ”

Zeng Guoquan didn't know why, and asked blankly, "What does the eldest brother mean?" ”

Zeng Guofan hated iron and reprimanded: "Confused! After this battle, I will leave the Hunan army, whether the Hunan army can continue to exist depends on your means, remember! Listen to Xia Xian's words more, Ji Gao is also a man of temperament. They will not hate us because of the past. ”

Zeng Guoquan seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and said tentatively: "Big brother is asking me to stand in line?" As far as I know, the backbone of the Qingliu of the imperial court is our Hunanese. Zuo Jigao is a representative figure. ”

Zeng Guofan nodded approvingly and continued: "The emperor wants to do something. It will balance the strength of the army, don't be confused, if the Hunan army and the Guangxi people get close, it will be the day when the Hunan army will be dismantled, remember! Remember! ”

Zeng Guoquan said with a smile: "Big brother is too worried, how can I be so dignified to take refuge in Guangxi." ”

Zeng Guofan saw that he understood the matter, so he put his mind at ease and asked, "Have you inquired about Zhao Yali when you went to Beijing?" ”

Zeng Guoquan became excited, and deliberately looked around. came back and whispered mysteriously: "Big brother doesn't know, I heard that this Lord Zhao is the emperor's prostitution, you see his eyebrows are clear, his lips are red and his teeth are white, I see a pitiful look, I didn't expect the emperor to be so ......"

"Smack!" Zeng Guofan slapped Zeng Guoquan who was foaming at the mouth, and said angrily: "You dare to spread this kind of rumor, the Zeng family will be defeated in your hands sooner or later, and it must be the malicious slander of the villain." Stay away from them, lest you get into trouble. ”

Zeng Guoquan covered his cheeks aggrievedly, suddenly understood something, and hated the person who told him the news. After a while, I was glad that I didn't spread it everywhere.

Zeng Guofan asked angrily, "Are there any other situations?" ”

Seeing Zeng Guofan raise his hand, Zeng Guoquan subconsciously took two steps back. After reacting, his face turned even redder, and he replied: "This Lord Zhao only came out half a year ago. It's really strange that the emperor trusts him very much. also deliberately found a reason to open Enke, the champion is Lord Zhao, I heard that the first assistant Lu Jianying Lu does not approve of it......"

Zeng Guofan was taken aback and asked carefully, "What's going on?" ”

Zeng Guoquan put his mind at ease, and knew that he was on the point, and said in detail: "At that time, there were several good players in Baguwen, and the emperor took a fancy to Lord Zhao, I heard that it was because Lord Zhao was good at foreign affairs, and the answers were all about strengthening the country and strengthening the army. ”

Zeng Guofan said with a smile: "This Shoufu Lord is also a shrewd person, no wonder Chang Dachun is a revolutionary official, but he Lu Jianying is as stable as Mount Tai." ”

Zeng Guoquan didn't know how shrewd Lu Jianying was, but he didn't dare to interrupt Zeng Guofan's train of thought, so he could only stop the words that came to his mouth and stand quietly.

Zeng Guofan sighed: "This Lord Zhao must have an unusual relationship with the emperor, could it be that he and the emperor have known each other for a long time?" Otherwise, it would be impossible for the emperor to trust him so much, and give him such an important thing as Shang Fang's sword. ”

After a while, Zeng Guofan said solemnly: "Lao Jiu, no matter what the circumstances, you don't want to offend this Lord Zhao, if he is favored for a while, it's fine, but this person is shrewd and ruthless, and we can't afford to offend." ”

Zeng Guoquan sighed, since he knew that Zhao Yali was a celebrity in front of the emperor, he was courteous and flattering to Zhao Yali along the way, and thought that he would be scolded by Zeng Guofan, but he didn't expect Zeng Guofan to think that he was doing the right thing, and secretly sighed: His brother's mentality has changed, and he is no longer full of loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness.

The housekeeper of Zengfu knocked on the door and said loudly: "Master Qiqi, Ninth Master, there is an Lord Zhao outside the door who asks to see you!" ”

Zeng Guofan and Zeng Guoquan glanced at each other and greeted Lu together.

"Lord Zhao's visit has made the Mansion shine!" Zeng Guofan pretended to be very excited and shouted.

Zhao Yali smiled slightly, dealt with a few words, and followed Zeng Guofan to the hall before arching her hand: "Don't hide it from Lord Zeng, I came to bid you farewell this time." ”

Zeng Guofan asked in surprise: "Zeng Mou is negligent, Lord Zhao famously said, Zeng Mou must have changed." ”

Zhao Yali said with a smile: "Lord Zeng is too worried, the affairs of Hubei have been properly deployed, there is Lord Zeng presiding over the overall situation, nine out of ten are stable, and the lower officials have to rush to Yunnan, Hu Gong has already written a letter to urge several times, and Lord Shen ordered the lower officials to take the first step." ”

Zeng Guofan said with a smile: "Since this is the case, Zeng will not keep Lord Zhao, please rest assured that within a month, the Hunan army will definitely pacify Hubei, and then ask the emperor to send someone to receive it." ”

Zhao Yali saw that the atmosphere was harmonious, and explained her intentions: "I heard that Lord Zhao has a daughter, and the emperor specially ordered me to check it, I don't know if it is convenient for Lord Zeng." ”

Zeng Guoquan was secretly happy, it must have been the emperor who ordered Lord Zhao to come to investigate Zeng Jiaxin's appearance, it seems that the emperor agreed to the marriage.

Of course, Zeng Guofan agreed, and ordered the housekeeper: "You go and invite the young lady over." ”

"Yes, sir!"

How dare the housekeeper slack off, he immediately walked quickly to the side courtyard and invited Zeng Jiaxin over, Zeng Jiaxin asked what was the matter, and the housekeeper also told him truthfully.

Zeng Jiaxin was angry, but she didn't expect that she couldn't escape the fate of being someone else's concubine, and she didn't dress up, so she followed the housekeeper and left the yard directly.

Zeng Guofan was unhappy when he saw Zeng Jiaxin without makeup, but he still got up and smiled: "Lord Zhao, this is the little girl Jiaxin, Jiaxin hasn't seen Lord Zhao yet!" ”

Zeng Jiaxin saluted Zhao Yali, and when she saw Zhao Yali's appearance, she felt like a soul less, stood still, and under Zeng Guofan's reprimand, she said coquettishly: "The folk girl has seen Lord Zhao." ”

Zhao Yali came to Zeng Jiaxin, caressed Zeng Jiaxin's face, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, you have a bit of Jiaxin's demeanor, how old are you this year?" ”

Zeng Jiaxin's face was crimson, the deer in his chest bumped into him, and he whispered: "Seventeen years old!" ”

"Ahem!" Zeng Guoquan saw that he was light on his niece, and hurriedly reminded him.

Zhao Yali reluctantly put down her hand, and secretly said that Li Yunzhong is so blessed, just after accepting two stunning beauties, and now there is another Jiaxin sent to the door, this Zeng Guofan looks like a poor person, and his daughter is born like a flower and jade, is this a genetic mutation?

Zeng Jiaxin looked at the handsome Zhao Yali, and secretly exclaimed in her heart, if you marry this son, I wonder if he has a crush? Will he take a fancy to me?

Zeng Guofan secretly exclaimed that it was not good, it seems that this Lord Zhao is also interesting to Jiaxin, in case he advances in the emperor to slander, will his plan be in vain!

Zeng Guoquan couldn't wait to ask, "I don't know what Lord Zhao thinks of my niece?" Does the emperor like it? ”

Zeng Guofan secretly praised that Lao Jiu was finally sensible, and now forcing Zhao Yali to express his stance is also a solution.

Zhao Yali didn't know Zeng Guofan's flowery intestines, and smiled at Zeng Guofan: "Ling Ai is really a national color and fragrance, and it is rare to be pure and pleasant, which is suitable for being the emperor's concubine." ”

Zeng Guofan was overjoyed and replied: "Thank you Lord Zhao for your support, Zeng is grateful!" ”

Zhao Yali hurriedly smiled humbly, with mixed tastes in her heart.

Intellectually, she wants to support this family business, so that Zeng Guofan can be entrapped, hundreds of thousands of Hunan troops are available at any time, and the land of the two lakes is at her fingertips.

Emotionally, she was sour and jealous, and she was angry and annoyed with Li Yunzhong in her heart, what was not good, but she was the emperor of the Han Dynasty.

Zhao Yali almost couldn't control her feelings, and hurriedly got up and said, "Master Zeng stayed, and the official resigned!" (To be continued......)
