"Lord Wang," Bao Jun said a lot of complaining words, and seeing that Prince Gong still didn't speak, he couldn't help but be a little anxious, "You are the king of the council and the foreman of the military aircraft, how can you let him continue to be rude like this?" In the past, even if Li Baoding was unruly, he would not ask for power in the military aircraft department like this. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Match," Prince Gong said after hearing Bao Jun's words, "what do you want me to say?" How many people are following me in the Military Aircraft Department now? ”

Bao Jun looked at Prince Gong, and Prince Gong had a helpless expression on his face, and then he seemed to understand something, "Ah, yes, what you said is very true." ”

Prince Gong slowly got up and paced in the hall, "In the second year of Guangxu, Wenxiang died of illness, and within a few months, Zhu Xueqin also went, he was only fifty-two years old, hey, what are you talking about Gong Dang Gong Dang, now look at how many people are left?" Prince Gong complained, "Hu Linyi is also diligent and willing to work, and he is the leader of the Hunan people, but, hey, the coughing up of blood recurred, and Guangxu left in five years, and Li Hongzao went home to worry. There are only two of us left among the several military ministers of Tongzhi Zhongxing, fortunately," Prince Gong sighed, "Your body is quite tough." But Bao Jun is also 74 years old.

"Yes, I didn't think it before," Bao Jun was a little sentimental, "Lord Wang, you said this, it's true, Duke Gui, Duke Cao, and Duke Wen all went like this one by one, and everyone thinks that the Minister of Military Aircraft holds the Tianxian in his hand, and it must be a life of wealth and nobility in fresh clothes, but I don't know that this Minister of Military Aircraft has great authority and complicated affairs, not to mention that **** is going to be impeached by the bullet seal." ”

Bao Jun has a cheerful temperament, but he is only slightly sad, but he immediately put the sadness behind him, and talked about the current situation of the military aircraft department, "Li Baoding went home and worried, I thought it was cheap, we can finally be more comfortable, but I didn't expect that I went to the cold face god and came to make trouble in the sky!" Bao Jun was very dissatisfied, "Zuo Zongtang took advantage of the great victory in the northwest, entered the direct military plane, rampaged, no one paid attention to it, it was okay before, but he has been in the place for a long time, and his connections are really not shallow, just look at Jing Lian and Wang Wenshao to know! ”

Wang Wenshao is a native of Hangzhou, Zhejiang, originally debuted in the local officialdom of Zhejiang, and made great contributions to the pacification of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and was the right-hand man of Wang Youling, the governor of Zhejiang.

There is also Jing Lian, needless to say, he has worked with Zuo Zongtang in Xinjiang, although he is a banner man, and he respects Prince Gong in everything, but he also has to look at Zuo Zongtang's opinion for reference. "He's even more powerful than the former Zeng Guofan!"

"There are only a few people in the Military Aircraft Department," said Prince Gong, "and he accounts for one and a half, and in terms of speaking, he is about the same as us, and of course he can go on a rampage." Hey, Xiaoshan was fine when he was here, and he could always give advice on everything, but now that he is sick again, have you been to see him? ”

Bao Jun nodded, "It's not good, I'm already sick and groggy," he was a little ashamed, "I'm really useless, I can't help the prince." ”

"I can't say that, Gong Gong is already loyal to the country," Prince Gong comforted him, "Everyone knows your strengths, why do you need to say that, it's not the right time for Xiaoshan to be sick," Prince Gong shook his head, "There are so many major events outside, Britain, France, and Russia have affairs to handle, and there are major disasters at home, and there are still things to do in the Eight Banners, hey, I don't know how to deal with such a Zhang Zifang." ”

"What does the British crown prince mean when he comes to China?"

"I don't mean anything, just listen to the Prime Minister's yamen." Prince Gong said, "Continue to talk about it, you are right, Li Hongzao is about to return to Beijing, I don't know if the Queen Mother wants him to go back to the military aircraft department, whether he returns to the military aircraft department or not, the title of bachelor on his head is always there, this kind of small thing, I can't express my position, I can't be tough on foreigners, the prime minister's yamen can't do things, I'm soft on the outside, and I'm scolded for being soft-footed shrimp, what am I going to do to offend people, just let them deal with it, Zuo Jigao is so powerful, when he heard Li Hongzao return to Beijing, didn't he also die down?" ”

Baojun was also a little helpless, "Since the death of Emperor Yingzong, the Queen Mother seems to have connived at Qingliu again, and among the scholars recruited for the imperial examination, there are not a few conservative people, Li Hongzao, the leader of Qingliu, is really prominent now, even if he goes home to worry, he is still a hundred responses." ”

"They do this, and the matter of the Eight Banners, the Queen Mother knows that I don't want to offend people, so I handed it over to others," Prince Gong smiled, and at this time he didn't care about Zuo Zongtang's rudeness, "When it comes to the ability to be harmonious with light and dust and harmonious colleagues, Zuo Jigao still has to learn from me." ”

"The matter of the Eight Banners is really a hornet's nest," Bao Jun gloated a little, "It's good that it wasn't handed over to the prince, how can this matter be contaminated?" If this thing is done well, it is far faster than the etiquette of kneeling and bowing, and the reform of the Eight Banners, and the reputation is good. ”

"That's the reason," Prince Gong nodded, "The matter of Vietnam must not be settled like this, the French bypassed us to sign an agreement with Vietnam before, and at that time the Qing Dynasty had no time to take care of the outside, but it is okay, how to tolerate the French still behaving like this now, not to mention anything else, it is necessary to keep Vietnam as a vassal state." ”

Bao Jun nodded, "Zeng Guoquan is the governor of Liangguang, so he probably won't give the French a good face, and it's good to put some pressure on the French, lest they think we are easy to bully." ”

"This is something to keep an eye on by the Prime Minister," Prince Gong instructed, "you call the General Administration of Customs, and you are critical of the French, and Hurd must be happy to see the French deflated." ”

Bao Jun responded, and asked again, "Li Baoding is going back to Beijing, what does the prince mean, do you want him to enter the military plane?" ”

"Li Baoding has his weight whether he enters the military aircraft or not, I was originally impatient to see him," Prince Gong smiled, "It's just that looking at Zuo Jigao today, he seems to be a little jealous of Li Baoding, I think he can come back and check and balance one or two, he entered the military aircraft, so as not to stand and talk outside without backache, and make trouble for us."
