Chapter 70: What is Value?
The first update
"You have a good father, worship under the door of Lord Zeng for you, and then get the emperor's clear eyes, and Lord Zeng has moved seven times in ten years to be cited as a good story of Shilin. And it only took you four years to go from the seventh grade to the third grade! However, if you stand up, you will be the master of a part, how can you not be envious. ”
"So I got carried away, and when the emperor saw me that day, he said, 'Hongzhang, you almost became the person I hate the most.'" Li Hongzhang smiled and let out a long breath, "The emperor should have some arrangements for you, you are a smart person, you will know what to do." ”
"Have you ever heard anything?" Although Hao Junfeng was confused, he couldn't care so much, and asked hurriedly.
"I can't say that when I return to the court, I will have my own will." Li Hongzhang smiled, but thought for a moment, "Brother Junfeng, is an official position really that important?" ”
"Didn't you also say at the beginning, if you don't reach your position, how can you seek your own government?" Hao Junfeng was a little forgiving, but still argued strongly.
"But what was my original ideal? is ambitious, but it is not 'thousands of miles for officials only for money'. I am very happy in Jiangnan, I can see what I do and what kind of prospects I will reach; When I returned to Beijing, I was also very happy every day in Guozijian, and we worked together to establish a new system, and we could think that at most, in ten years, we would have a large number of available talents. We can even abolish the imperial examinations. Let the students of the world get their own place; And when I arrived in northern Anhui, I was also very happy because I found myself. ”
"What the hell are you trying to say? Do you want to show that you are nobler than me? If you can't hear it anymore, Hao Junfeng will be really stupid. He naturally understood that Li Hongzhang already knew that he had framed him, except for his blushing face, but he didn't feel that he had done anything wrong, "I didn't frame you, it wasn't me who got the power in the first place." ”
"I told the emperor, I don't regret it, I really think what I did was right! I'm a better candidate. Li Hongzhang smiled lightly and looked at him deeply, "You weren't in Jiangnan at the time, and I didn't tell you about it, but you know, and then secretly stabbed in front of the emperor, so when it comes to scheming, I can't reach it, right?" ”
"So you brought me here?"
"No, I insist that you take over my position in the Eunuch. Because I really think that even if you betray me, you are the one who knows our plan best, and you can really do it. But the emperor ...... on refused. ”
Li Hongzhang almost said that it was 'the queen mother', thinking of this, he couldn't help laughing, thinking of the clever and beautiful queen mother, no wonder Lord Qi saw it unforgettable. Think about it, the girl from the Fucha family who had really been engaged to him and then abandoned him married Li Yong of the Han Army Banner, and she didn't see Chery forget it.
"Why?" Although Hao Junfeng said that he hated Li Hongzhang, he believed Li Hongzhang. Li Hongzhang said that he insisted on recommending himself, which is also in line with his personality. can do a good job in the affairs of the country, and he also believes that only he is himself. There is also a lot of hard work of my own. But why did the emperor refuse and throw him on the boat? He was furious.
"Because she said that a person who can betray even his friends for the sake of an official position, what else can he not sell? Originally, I didn't believe it, but just now I did. It turns out that I really don't know people. Lord Mingqi wants to return the people to peace and stability, and dilute the matter. And for the sake of meritorious service and official position, you actually want to persuade him to provoke public anger and make a big war situation. Brother Junfeng, I don't even dare to recognize you anymore. ”
"Big Husband ......"
"That's not a big husband, it's just a poor worm who runs for profit." Li Hongzhang smiled, there was no one in the hall at this time, even if he served tea, no one would shout to send off the guests, and got up and left the lobby.
When I got out of the hall, I saw that everyone was outside, and they all knew the rules, and no one dared to listen to them. But when I came out, I felt a little impulsive, I wanted to take a break, I originally wanted to come back and rest for a while, but at this time, where can I go?
At this moment, a soldier came outside, "Lord Li, General Bao has already obtained the prisoner, Lord Qi, please go!" ”
"Let's go!" Li Hongzhang immediately decided to go to Chery for dinner, this is the hotel, except for Chery, everyone eats set meals made by the chef of the hotel. Chery is not in good health, and wherever he goes, he takes his own chef with him. And he also used his own money, which was authorized by the emperor.
Chery was listening to Bao Chao say what was going on, and when he saw him coming, he didn't make a sound, motioned for him to sit, and then listened to Bao Chao's return. This is very important, if it is a bad pool, it will really start a fire, and the previous treatment will be in vain.
Speaking of which, Zhang Lexing really lost a lot this time, and the reason for his fuss was not only because his eldest brother was the eldest brother of the Twist Army, but his land was all here, and it was really washed away.
Over the years, in fact, his life has been getting worse day by day. His business was based on a lack of supplies and the river was controlled by them. But at this time, various large factories were established, and the river was flooded with various steamers. If he had transformed at that time, and used the money he had earned in the first few years of fighting hard to open factories and buy steam turbines, he would still be a local tyrant.
But this time it was completely different, and his other businesses were damaged to varying degrees. The only thing that hasn't changed is the gambling house! Everyone's life is better, there is more money, and his business is better. But this is really quite different from the previous ones.
Zhang Lexing is actually a very good person, and money may not be the most important thing. Who was he before? In the township, he can be regarded as the person who speaks his word. Can you lead people to confront the government, and you can retreat from the Lord for so many years, can you be an ordinary person?
But, obviously, over the years, his words have become less and less effective. Everyone's life is better, even if they are afraid of him, but there are fewer and fewer people following him. In the countryside, he has become a dispensable rich man.
Waiting for the flood to hit, the government asked them all to evacuate, and saw that the land that had been passed down by their family for several lifetimes turned into a muddy river, and the depression that had been accumulated in their hearts for many years turned into anger. Everything he did at this time was more of a manifestation of self-worth.
"Hateful people, in fact, there are pitiful." Chery smiled and shook his head gently, "Did the arrest go smoothly this time?" ”
"It's not bad, I didn't follow the instructions of the adult, wear the clothes of the officials, and follow Zhang Zhutou. There are also people on the periphery, and if anyone escapes, they will also be quietly arrested. Although the process was a bit troublesome, I still told the adults that the last general and his subordinates were very restrained and did not let the people see it. "Bao Chao and Li Hongzhang are not in vain these days, his brain is much stronger, and he started fighting before he came up. <
