Luo Zenan smiled smugly and nodded again and again, showing that he was very satisfied with what Hu Linyi had just said.

Liu Rong looked embarrassed, Luo Zenan was his mentor, and now Hu Linyi called the two of them teachers at the same time, which made him very uncomfortable, and he felt that Hu Linyi was too flattering, so he must have other thoughts, and he had a few more precautions in his heart for no reason.

Hu Linyi heard that Li Xubin's brother's family was not wealthy and that there was no one to take care of his mother, so he personally sent someone to take her to his home and asked his wife to take care of this fifty-year-old lady as his mother.

This made Li Xubin, Liu Rong and others suspicious, and they were quite suspicious of Hu Linyi's intentions, and wrote to Zeng Guofan one after another to ask for their opinions.

Zeng Guofan's life is not easy, the new governor of Jiangxi, Chen Qimai, is not as knowledgeable as Jiang Zhongyuan said, but opposes him everywhere, and Chen Qimai will definitely suppress the person he likes.

What made Zeng Guofan even more angry was that Chen Qimai made a fuss about the supply of food and salary for the Hunan army, threatening not to pay the Hunan army food and salary at every turn, allowing Zeng Guofan to send a message three times and twice to inquire, and constantly writing private letters to him.

received a letter from Li Xubin and others, knowing that Hu Linyi was buying people's hearts, but he didn't dare to break it, and he tried his best to defend Hu Linyi, so that they should not be suspicious.

Li Yunzhong looked at Hu Mengjun who suddenly appeared, and said, "Don't run around on the boat, where have you been in the past few days, and I can't find you?" ”

Hu Mengjun asked in a shy whisper: "Your Highness, does what you said still count?" ”

"What words? Do I have any commitments to you? Li Yunzhong was confused, and he had already forgotten all about the original joke.

See that the king of Han does not admit it. Hu Mengjun hurriedly said: "When you ordered me to persuade Li Hongzhang to surrender, you said that as long as I persuaded one person to surrender, the official would be promoted to one level." Have you forgotten? ”

Li Yunzhong looked at his anxious appearance and teased: "You also believe this kind of nonsense." If anyone persuades ten or eight to surrender, will not the official be promoted to be greater than me? ”

Hu Mengjun was like an eggplant beaten by frost, languishing, and muttered: "Speaking is not a word, it makes me waste my tongue in vain, and I talk for half a month!" ”

Li Yunzhong exclaimed: "You have been persuading Li Hongzhang to surrender for half a month!" Looks like it worked! How many people have you persuaded to surrender? ”

For Hu Mengjun, Li Yunzhong is now impressed, those people are stubborn, and he has personally learned them. I didn't expect Hu Mengjun to say that it had fallen, talent!

Hu Mengjun raised two fingers, with an angry look on his face, and complained: "I have eaten and slept with them for half a month, I have never said so many words in my life, these hard works are really in vain, Your Highness, you always want to reward me with something, right?" ”

Li Yunzhong said helplessly: "Then what do you want?" For the sake of your talent, you say, as long as I can do it, I will do it. ”

Hu Mengjun frowned and thought for a long time. Tentatively: "Your Highness should be promoted to my official!" ”

Such a thick skin is somewhat useful! Li Yunzhong remembered that no one was available for diplomacy so far, and nodded: "Yes, my Han system has just been established, and there are still many positions that have not been selected." Like this Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the ministerial position is the same as that of Shangshu, and it is the second grade. There is no one in the office, since you can speak well. Thick-skinned and thick-skinned, it's really the best choice. You will put the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in charge for the time being. ”

Hu Mengjun was overjoyed, smiled, and nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "Your Highness, rest assured, I will definitely manage this Ministry of Foreign Affairs in an orderly manner, and I will never embarrass Your Highness, then I am now a second-class?" ”

Li Yunzhong kicked over and scolded with a smile: "You think it's beautiful!" If you don't get promoted in your life, I'll let you be the second grade, and now you will be an assistant to the minister, and you will be the fifth grade, so that you don't preach everywhere that I don't believe in my words, by the way, which two people are you persuading to surrender? ”

There must be no Li Hongzhang in this! When Li Yunzhong heard that he had persuaded two people to surrender, he knew that Li Hongzhang was still insisting.

Hu Mengjun clapped his hands and shouted at the door of the cabin: "You all come in, Your Highness is waiting for you inside!" ”

Seeing that the two people who came in were all bare-handed, Tang Liang was slightly relieved, and his eyes were still staring at them.

"Liu Mingchuan (Wu Changqing) greets His Highness, may His Highness be a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"

Li Yunzhong said with his right hand: "Hurry up, two of you, please get up, I am very pleased that the two of you can abandon the darkness and turn to the light.

Liu Mingchuan and Wu Changqing glanced at each other, and said in unison: "The king of Han hangs the people to fight crimes, the people of the world obey the wind, and the destiny of heaven returns, we dare not act against the sky!" ”

Li Yunzhong said with a smile: "Such a crepe must have been thought up by you Wu Changqing!" ”

Wu Changqing had a complicated feeling in his chest, and he couldn't help but sigh, no wonder so many people were willing to die to protect him, just this sentence made him feel much closer to the relationship with King Han.

Liu Mingchuan smirked: "Your Highness is wise, these scholars love to be verbose, surrender is surrender, and what do you want to say about acting against the sky before, my old Liu doesn't love this, as long as His Highness trusts me in the future, I will work hard for His Highness." ”

"Ha Lu Ha...... I like to save three of your straightforward temperament, righteousness, you can rest assured, I Li Yunzhong is by no means a narrow-minded villain, as long as you are loyal to the big man, I will treat everyone equally! Li Yunzhong knew that they were all famous generals of the Huai Army in later generations, so they deliberately made friends.

Wu Changqing immediately said: "I, Wu Changqing, am not the kind of capricious villain, I used to admire His Highness for caring for the people, and now that I have taken refuge in His Highness, I am willing to persuade my family to join the Han Dynasty, and I will be loyal to His Highness from now on." ”

Li Yun was happy in the center, and asked again: "Are these young brothers and Liu Bingzhang still unwilling to surrender?" ”

Wu Changqing immediately confessed: "I can't hide it, although I and the third province admire His Highness, we are unwilling to surrender, so that His Highness looks down on him, or Lord Li persuaded the two of us to surrender to His Highness." ”

This Li Hongzhang intends to surrender, and let the two of them explore the way, the scholar just wants to save face, and he has to set up a memorial arch when he becomes a bitch, Li Yunzhong asked: "Brother Shaoquan, is it ......?"

Seeing that Li Yunzhong had misunderstood, Wu Changqing hurriedly shook his head and denied it, explaining: "Master Li saw that we were shaken, saying that our two hometowns had been captured by the Han army, and persuaded us to surrender for the sake of our families and protect our relatives and friends. ”

Li Yunzhong saw that they felt guilty about Li Hongzhang, and sighed in his heart: He is worthy of being the leader of the Westernization Movement in the future, and he has a deep insight into human nature, Wu Changqing and Liu Mingchuan were sold by him, and they are still counting the money for him.

"Shaoquan is really a temperamental person, you can rest assured, I have no ill will towards Shaoquan, when I arrive in Nanjing, I will appoint him as a staff officer to give advice to me, even if he does not surrender to me, I will not do harm!" Li Yunzhong further won the loyalty of Wu Changqing and Liu Mingchuan.

"Your Highness is complete!" Liu Mingchuan and Wu Changqing got up and kowtowed, turned around and walked out of the cabin. (To be continued......)
