Chapter 22: The Responsibility of the Father

The fourth update

"Actually, you came in to ask me, why do you have to lose your official position, right? I hate you like this, if there's anything, just ask. Qingyu sneered.

"If you say that the house is restless, it is actually okay to reprimand one or two, and it is also feasible to degrade on the spot. Isn't Hongzhang a good effect? Chery is still smiling, this time he is really smiling, he now believes that this is Qingyu's idea, over the years, although Qingyu has also been willful, but the facts have also proved that she is willful and reasonable. And this time, I'm afraid that Zeng Guofan really did something that made her intolerable.

"I don't want to see him, when he comes back, you will go and say that I said, tiger poison does not eat children, and there are always some false Taoism in the world, even as good as livestock. I can't believe that a man who doesn't even love his own children will love his people. Naturally, he didn't dare to shepherd one side. Qingyu sneered, "Tell him, 'Ruthless may not be a true hero, how can a poor son not be a husband'!" ”

Xianfeng gently comforted Qingyu and looked at the two people who were still a little sluggish below.

Niangniang heard about the marriage of Zeng Guofan's three daughters, and she was furious. To tell you the truth, I knew it, and I was full of anger. I'm just a daughter, like a jewel, and I think there's no bastard in the world worthy of my baby. Although Mu Yang'a is not a big official, he is devoted to King Zhuang Fujin and Niangniang. No one can compare to his daughter. At the beginning, he knew that the eldest lady was going to let the mother go to Chongxi, three folds a day, and asked to be transferred back, which was really crazy. When Niangniang entered the palace, he asked to resign, closed the door to thank the guests, and did not cause any trouble to Niangniang. ”

"Your Majesty, this ...... This ......" Li Hongzhang lay on the ground, he wanted to say that the fathers of Zeng Guofan's three sons-in-law were all close friends of Zeng Guofan, and they used to have a good reputation, how did they know that their sons were not successful? Besides, now only the eldest daughter is married, and the second daughter and the third daughter are just engaged.

"Hongzhang, you also have a daughter, why would you marry your daughter to a gambler who spoils his concubine and kills his wife? and his second daughter's fiancé has a hidden illness; The fiancé of the three daughters is famous for his stupidity in the countryside! I'm also worried, will he ignore the people for the sake of fame? Xianfeng shook his head and looked at Li Hongzhang.

Li Hongzhang raised his head and couldn't speak with his mouth open. The matter of the eldest son-in-law, he had persuaded Zeng Guofan at the beginning, but Zeng Guofan felt that he could not lose his trust, he felt that this was the righteousness of a gentleman, so he could only sigh. However, the other two second sons-in-law, the Chen family, are very hard-working, although their talents are not good. But when I think about it, that person has a 'hidden disease'! The one from the Luo family, he really hasn't seen it, if the emperor says it, it is obviously true, and his face is not ordinarily ugly.

"How did the emperor find out? There's nothing wrong with that, right? Chery frowned. Chery really doesn't know that he is a pragmatist, as long as Zeng Guofan can do things, as for his private affairs, he has never been too lazy to ask. I really don't know about this situation in Zeng Guofan's family!

He immediately understood what Xianfeng meant, there is no shortage of capable officials in the world, but there is a shortage of officials without compassion. Their only purpose in life is to achieve their own perfection.

Children are just the embellishment of their lives, and even for the sake of perfection, they can harm their own children in order to achieve the purpose of their own good name. For example, Hai Rui of the former Ming Dynasty. When the daughter took a piece of bread from a colleague, she was about to cut off her arm. He used his daughter's blood to make his own reputation, and it was disgusting to read!

"You ask him, that's his mentor, and he's always there when he marries, right?" Xianfeng pointed to Li Hongzhang.

Li Hongzhang hung his head, and for a while, "The teacher is really because those adults are ......"

"It's all from their Hunan Gang! Marrying his daughter to the sons of these Hunan villagers, and these villagers are all dead, can show his noble character and better win the hearts of Hunan officials! Qingyu smiled coldly.

Li Hongzhang shrank again, come on, as soon as the friends come out, no one can save Zeng Guofan.

Chery looked at Li Hongzhang and knew that it was really right, think about it, "This matter, the official is on the emperor's side, Lord Zeng is a master of science, but what Niangniang just said is thought-provoking, 'Ruthless may not be a real hero, how can a poor son not be a husband!'" Haojie's husband wants to protect his wife and children, but he does not use the blood and tears of his wife and children to achieve himself. ”

Qingyu nodded, "Your Majesty, I want to write an article, I can't just ignore this matter, if the noble daughter of the second-class member of the court still suffers like this, the concubines don't know how many heartless parents in the world treat their children like this." ”

Li Hongzhang almost didn't crawl over to hug Qingyu's thighs, so he could only kowtow, "Niangniang forgives sins, Niangniang forgives sins, the teacher is just a science master, some things don't know how to be flexible, Weichen will bring the words, ask Niangniang to be gracious!" ”

He was left with a lifelong stain by an article in the newspaper back then, and he couldn't let his teacher, who longed to be a perfect person, suffer this sin.

Zeng Guofan came back first, received the telegram, immediately handed over the seal, simply packed up himself, jumped on the fast wheel, and rushed back to Beijing. He didn't believe what the official said at all, because his son-in-law had caused too much trouble, so he was angry with him. He felt that no matter why, he would return to Beijing first, no matter what, and first stabilize the current good situation.

When I returned to Beijing, I handed a sign to the Prime Minister's Yamen and waited at the door. Thinking about it and frowning again, Xianfeng is not the kind of emperor with a small belly, if it is an official who returns to Beijing to report on his work, the emperor will personally receive him in the previous dynasty, and he will always give a few words of encouragement. But after Chery returned to Beijing, Xianfeng rarely did so.

Therefore, this time he severely dismissed himself and returned to Beijing, is it really to guard against their 'Hunan army'? (At this time, because the Taiping army was broken up early, the Hunan army at this time referred to them as an alliance of Hunan officials.) )

Chery still called in, looking at Zeng Guofan, who was already in his forties, looking a little haggard, obviously rushing for days and suffering a lot of crimes.

However, after Chery went home that day, he asked Jian Dong'er if she knew Zeng Guofan's eldest daughter, and calculated, they were about the same age. Jian Dong'er is the daughter of a Han official, although their family is not from Hunan, but it is also a system.

Jian Dong'er started scolding when she heard it, she was older than the eldest daughter of the Zeng family, and she had played together when she was young. The year she got married happened to be the death of Master Yuan. Then the Yuan family became a joke in Jingli. But at that time, Zeng's family was in Gansu, and she couldn't have children. As a result, the goodbye was that Zeng Guofan gave his daughter a marriage, and she also gave a gift, but because she was already a traitor to Hanchen, others would not give her a post. And what the Yuan family's prodigal son did is simply indescribable. It is a sore on the top of the head and a thick bad embryo on the soles of the feet, which is hopeless.

Such a person, Zeng Guofan also forced his daughter to marry, and Chery wanted to know if his heart was really cast of iron and stone.
