The wind and snow are flying in the north, but it is a good day in the south to be warm in winter, taking advantage of the laziness of the afternoon, Hong Yuner put a reclining chair in the small courtyard of the Ginkgo Garden of Xiwangfu, snuggled up to enjoy the warm sunlight on it, and the jade hand caressed the larger and larger lower abdomen, and her face was full of love.

She and Xiao Yungui's second child didn't torture her much, probably because this body was already the third child, since she was pregnant again, she didn't suffer much, but let her have a quiet and comfortable life. Ginkgo Garden is a favorite courtyard of Hong Yun'er in the West Palace, the West Palace's Mansion in Tianjing is located in the former Qing Dynasty Envoy Yamen, that is, the later Zhan Garden, the scenery is extremely beautiful.

A burst of heroic laughter came, Xiao Yungui's figure had already appeared from the porch, he walked quickly to Hong Yun'er and said with a smile: "Let me listen to the child's movements." After that, he put his head on Hong Yun'er's lower abdomen, causing the female officials around him to laugh.

Hong Yun'er's face turned red, and she pushed his big head away and said, "Your fierce and vicious appearance is not afraid of going down to the child!" Go aside! ”

Xiao Yungui laughed, and didn't think it was wrong, Tang Erniu moved a chair over, he sat aside, and after sitting down, Xiao Yungui ordered everyone to stand down, and the couple wanted to say something considerate.

After everyone retreated, Hong Yun'er blinked and said, "Look at your spring breeze, isn't it a girl you fall in love with?" ”

Xiao Yungui hurriedly shook his head and said, "What's the matter." ”

Hong Yun'er snorted softly and said, "You don't fool me, Li Xuanji has arrived in Shanghai, don't think I don't know." ”

Xiao Yungui's smile froze. said a little gloomily: "She is already married, what else do you mention?" ”

Hong Yun'er pouted and said, "You don't want to go to Shanghai?" I heard that the British and French fleets had returned to Shanghai because of the freezing of the Bohai Sea. You don't want to see the lineup of the British and French fleets for real? ”

Xiao Yungui said curtly: "What's so good? The British and French fleets have been in and out of Shanghai several times, and the Intelligence Department and Bai Zetang have already clearly put the information of the entire British and French fleets on my desk. ”

Hong Yun'er said again: "By the way, isn't Li Xuanji's eldest brother Li Chong already escorted to Tianjing?" He hasn't been dealt with, so it's better to let Xuanji's sister meet him. ”

Xiao Yungui said curiously: "What's wrong with you today?" Always mention Xuanji. ”

Hong Yun'er laughed dryly and said: "It's nothing, I just thought that you should go to Shanghai to inspect it, the New Fifth Army and the New Sixth Army have already become armies, don't you also want you to personally preside over the flag awarding ceremony of the two armies?" ”

Xiao Yungui thought for a moment and then nodded slowly, "Okay." In a few days, I will go to Shanghai to observe the people's feelings. ”

Hong Yun'er breathed a sigh of relief, she always felt a little awkward about Li Xuanji. On the one hand, she felt a little sorry for her, and on the other hand, she always felt that she was a junior, but she knew that Li Xuanji must not have forgotten Xiao Yungui, and Xiao Yungui would not forget Li Xuangui. It's okay for the two of them to meet and make it clear.

"Alright. Let's get down to business, why are you so happy? Hong Yun'er changed the topic, Xiao Yungui smiled and said: "Guangxi is fighting smoothly, in more than 20 days, Chen Yucheng has captured Liuzhou Mansion, Si'en Mansion, Qingyuan Mansion, Nanning Mansion, it is estimated that by the end of the year, the whole province of Guangxi will be recovered." ”

Hong Yun'er pouted and said: "The goal set at the beginning of the year is to recover at least Liangguang and Yunnan this year, and now Guangxi has been completed." And what about Yunnan, what is there to be happy about? ”

Xiao Yungui touched his chin and said, "It has always been right to set goals a little higher than reality. A plan that is too easy to complete is not a good plan. In fact, I am most happy that the establishment charter of the Ministry of Discipline and Administration has been unanimously approved by the ministers, and the Ministry of Training and Administration will have Tong Qiangsheng as the minister. ”

Hong Yun'er said with a slight surprise: "Tong Qiangsheng? Who will replace Bai Zetang? ”

Xiao Yungui said slowly: "Bai Zetang will be replaced by Qianjiang, and the Intelligence Department will be replaced by He Bin of Bai Zetang. ”

Hong Yun'er was speechless for a while, and after a while, she sighed softly and said, "You still don't believe anyone." ”

Xiao Yungui shook his head and smiled: "No, I believe in them, I believe that they can better play their talents in their new positions." ”

Hong Yun'er glanced at him and said, "You are just talking nonsense." ”

Xiao Yungui touched his nose and said: "This is the way of employing people, as the so-called suspicious people don't need to be used, no one is available, if you don't suspect people, you will definitely die." Proper promotion and post adjustment can prevent many things from happening, Tong Qiangsheng does not move, and the people below cannot be promoted, Qian Jiang has been in charge of the Intelligence Department for too long, and he should also rotate his position, it's as simple as that. ”

Hong Yun'er was noncommittal, and said thoughtfully: "You set up the Ministry of Training and Administration to better control the army, and it is also a kind of disbelief in Li Kaifang's military department." ”

Xiao Yungui shrugged his shoulders and said: "You can also say the same, soldiers, murder weapons, although the household department should be in charge of the army's logistics, and the Ministry of Industry should be in charge of the army's equipment, but no one is in charge of the army's ideological work." An army not only needs good equipment and food, but more importantly, ideological building. Only when an army has a mind can it have a soul, a military soul, and a military soul that can be passed on. At the same time, the Ministry of War was changed to the Ministry of National Defense to focus more on military and national defense, and the Ministry of Training and Administration divided the original power of the Ministry of War, and the power needed to be locked in the cage of the system so that there would be no problems, and only in this way could I boldly delegate power. ”

Hong Yun'er looked at Xiao Yungui with puzzled eyes and said, "Agui, you have really changed, and it has become as if I don't know you anymore." ”

Xiao Yungui smiled faintly: "In this environment, people will naturally change, I have recently read a lot of books about the emperor's mental arts, combined with the historical experience of our later generations, quite a lot." ”

"Emperor's Mental Technique, Emperor's Mental Technique......" Hong Yun'er repeated it a few times and said: "I heard that the ministers are preparing to join forces again recently, and they want you to be the emperor?" ”

Xiao Yungui nodded and said: "That's right, I have discussed this matter with Zuo Xiang, and I always feel that now is not the time to be the emperor, I plan not to expel the Qing court from Beijing City for a day, and I will not be the emperor for a day!" ”

Hong Yun'er bowed slightly: "Yes, there is still a Wing King, although he is the only one left among the six kings of Shouyi, but if you are called the emperor, I don't know how the Wing King will react." ”

Xiao Yungui sighed lightly and said, "Yes, the Wing King has both ability and political integrity, and he is quite popular, so it's not easy to get it." Unless I launch the Northern Expedition, drive the Qing court out of Beijing, completely establish the Central Plains, and expelle the immortal power of the Tartars to establish the capital and proclaim the emperor, we will be able to do it, and it is indeed a little early now. ”

Hong Yun'er smiled and said: "Sure enough, it has become sophisticated, by the way, has Qingyun written from Qingyun recently?" ”

Xiao Yungui shook his head and said, "No, she should be angry, I did a few things that made her have a headache, so she should be angry and didn't write again." ”

Hong Yun'er snorted and laughed out loud and said: "Qingyun is already the identity of the queen mother, I'm afraid it's not as naïve as you say." I guess she's too busy to talk to you. ”

Xiao Yungui said: "At first, I played a discordant strategy, which made her and Lu Sixuan turn against each other, and then there was a five-party talk, launching the Northern Jiangsu Campaign or something, which was enough for her to be busy." However, I think the most bizarre thing is the rescue of Guilin by the Qing army of Xiangyong and Changde. At first, we only received news that the Qing army of Xiangyong and Changde had soldiers and horses to go to Guangxi to rescue, and then I received information that the Qing army deliberately leaked it, and the detailed route of Peng Yulin's march was prepared, and I aroused alarm. ”

Hong Yun'er bowed slightly: "You mean that someone wants to use our hands to eradicate Peng Yulin's Changde Qing army?" ”

Xiao Yungui hummed and said: "Yes, I suspect that it was Lu Sixuan's idea, if the strength of the Qing army in Changde is weakened, the power of the Hunan army in Hunan will be even stronger, I suspect that Lu Sixuan must be unwilling to be let down by Qingyun like this, and what conspiracy is brewing." ”

Hong Yun'er frowned slightly: "He no longer has the power to fight, what tricks can he have?" ”

Xiao Yungui said: "Don't think that Lu Sixuan is not terrible without military power, this person is no longer the honest classmate we knew back then, for his own sake, this person can do anything." In addition, there has been a strange move in his business in Guangzhou recently, and he has given a lot of shares in the business to one person. ”

Hong Yun'er asked, "Who did you give it to?" Xiao Yungui said in a deep voice: "Gong Cheng Gong Banlun, the interpreter secretary of the British Consul Ali Guo. ”

Hong Yun'er said with some surprise: "Lu Sixuan doesn't want to take refuge in the British." ”

Xiao Yungui frowned and said: "I can't guess his overall plan for the time being, but it is inevitable that there will be a Hunan army and a British in the plan, but I think his ultimate goal is to get back the one that was deprived by Qingyun." ”

Hong Yun'er said: "Isn't that Qingyun still in the dark? Would you like to write to her to remind her? ”

Xiao Yungui touched Hong Yun'er's forehead and said, "Yun'er, you're not sick, their internal struggle in the Qing court is the most beneficial to us, remind them what to do?" ”

Hong Yun'er lowered her face, and Xiao Yungui hurriedly said: "Actually, I also hinted at her, I let Peng Yulin go, firstly, to maintain the military strength of Xiangdi, and secondly, to remind her through Peng Yulin's mouth that someone is playing tricks." As for whether Qingyun can comprehend it, it depends on her own ability. ”

Hong Yun'er sneered and said: "Third, you are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and put Peng Yulin back to create more contradictions within the Qing court." ”

Xiao Yungui laughed dryly and said: "In short, there are more benefits than simply eliminating Peng Yulin in Guangxi, this time Lu Sixuan wanted to borrow my knife to kill someone, but I bit him, he must hate me even more, hahaha." ”

Seeing Xiao Yungui's appearance, Hong Yun'er teased angrily: "You bite someone back?" Are you a dog? ”

Xiao Yungui stepped forward and said, "Yes, I'm a dog, I'm here to bite you." With that, he kissed Hong Yun'er's cherry lips...... (To be continued......)
