Abbott stared at Qinghai and took the booklet, flipped through it, his face couldn't help but shake slightly, and he slowly stood up, "It seems that your country is determined to fight against the French Republic?" ”

Qinghai shook his head, "It's not to be against it, it's just to protect the interests of your country." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Does your country also have interests in Vietnam?"

"Vietnam is a vassal of China, and of course there are interests." Thanh Hoi sat in his seat, indifferent to Abbott's gaze, and he said slowly, "This is the sincerity of the Vietnamese state, of course we must stand up for our vassals and not be bullied and insulted by outsiders." ”

Abbott no longer paid attention to Qinghai, these Chinese, the best thing is to pay lip service, he said to Wang Yangbing, "Today's matter, I will submit a written protest to your country's Prime Minister Yamen." After speaking, he no longer paid attention to Wang Yangbing's explanation and retention, put on white gloves, and walked straight out.

Qinghai sat motionless, just drinking tea with a smile, Wang Yangbing walked in sweating, "Lord Zhongtang, which one are you singing, offending the French ambassador, it's not a joke, what kind of in-laws are the French prime ministers." ”

Qinghai sneered slightly, "It's just an ambassador, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in France is also a non-mainstream figure, what kind of score to put in front of me, okay, Xiao Wang," he impatiently reprimanded Wang Yangbing, "Prime Minister Yamen is on an errand, not to say that he is an errand for foreign devils, everything is relaxed, humility does not mean groveling, you are from the Tongwen Pavilion, you have reached this position in a few years, and everything you learn is excellent, but this courage and insight are still less, you look like this, Albert thinks more and more that you are weak and can be bullied, and your attitude is soft." , they feel that China's attitude is weak. Cheer up, next this Prime Minister's Yamen is about the most beautiful for you, hehe, but this is the most beautiful, and it is also the easiest to die," Wang Yangbing showed a frightened expression on his face, Qinghai smiled, "Of course, it's not that it's really dead, it's just that if it's not good to be an errand, it's good to just look at the Tianjin teaching plan in the past, Zeng Junwang is so powerful, and he has done the teaching plan, isn't it also criticized by half of the people in the world?" ”

"Ouch, my Lord Zhongtang, what are you doing here, what good things have you done in the Imperial Court, making his face so ugly, I have to report to the hall officials in a hurry." Wang Yangbing stomped his feet and pleaded.

"Calm down," Qinghai tapped the booklet with his chin, Wang Yangbing hurriedly picked it up, saw the content inside, couldn't help but couldn't support it, and said to Qinghai tremblingly: "Lord Zhongtang, what does this mean?" ”

"That's what it means in writing," Qinghai laughed heartily, "Two things: there are righteous people entrenched in Baosheng City, and the French originally wanted to open navigation in the Red River, but they were blocked back." The other thing is that the Inspector General of Thang Long Province seized a batch of arms smuggled by the French without authorization and confiscated them. ”

"Those in Baosheng City are rebellious," Wang Yangbing said in horror, "It's not appropriate." ”

"What kind of rebellion, that's the king of Vietnam's own official, a serious admiral, don't talk about it." Qinghai said.

"But these two things," Wang Yangbing looked at it several times, "the subordinates took a look, and there was no order from Hue Mansion." ”

"No, that's why the French will change their faces and know that we are meddling in Vietnamese affairs." Qinghai stood up, "It's not meddler, of course, I won't admit it, you're probably not that stupid, it's all Vietnam's own internal affairs, although we are the suzerain, it's not easy to interfere," Qinghai said sanctimoniously, "What do the French say?" Oh yes, it's the choice of the Vietnamese people. There was sarcasm in his tone, "If the Great Southern Emperor of Hue Province is not stupid, he should know what to do." ”

Hue Province, Vietnam.

These days are rare sunny days, but the climate of Vietnam, even if it is sunny, also with a wet and damp musty smell, the imperial city of Hue in the hot sunshine, it looks extraordinarily colorful, bright yellow but with peeling bricks and tiles dotted here is very dazzling, the gate of the imperial city is the same as China, it is also called the noon gate, but a huge flag stand was built before the noon gate, the height of the flag platform is even higher than the eaves of the noon gate, you can have a bird's eye view of the entire Hue city.

The soldiers patrolling on the flag stand held a long knife, patrolling vigilantly, not far away came a group of people and horses, the leader rode a rare horse in Vietnam, the soldiers hurriedly looked carefully, the person who came was an official of their own country, not a damn Frenchman, the sign among the people showed the words "Governor of Thang Long Province", the soldiers on the flag stand hurriedly waved the flag, the gate of the noon gate opened, and the Governor of Thang Long Province and his party were welcomed in, and the leader of the people got off the horse in front of the noon gate and untied the stone blue cloak on his body, Revealing the colorful court clothes on his body, he had just walked into the noon gate, and he saw a white-bearded old man standing on the edge of the Jinshui Bridge, looking at him with a smile, and the person who came hurriedly saluted, "Lord Shoufu." ”

"You don't have to be polite, you don't have to be polite, you can just call me Ruan Shi according to the Chinese name." The old man grabbed the person who came, and said with a smile, "After all, when you were a jinshi, I was your teacher, and now you are also the governor of Shenglong Mansion, a feudal official, and your identity is not ordinary, so you can't be so restrained." ”

The governor of Thang Long Province raised his head, it was a man about forty years old, his skin was not as dark as the Vietnamese natives, but a little fair, the current governor of Thang Long Province is Chen Van Dinh, Thanh Hoa people, the ancestors are Chinese who moved from Fujian, in fact, most of the people in Vietnam have more or less Chinese ancestry, Chen Van Ding's family has always insisted on teaching children in Chinese, he first won the Vietnamese imperial examination, generally speaking, this is the ordinary promotion path of Vietnamese scholars, and his own teacher, Today's Vietnamese first assistant Qinzheng Temple University scholar Nguyen Van Xiang is the same, slowly have to boil up qualifications to the center, but he is really a coincidence, just won the Vietnamese Jinshi, the Qing Kingdom and the vassal students have been promoted, all to participate in China's imperial examinations, qualified naturally become an official of the Tian Dynasty, Chen Wending relied on the Chinese language skills handed down by the family, lightly and skillfully won the same Jinshi, and immediately had an official position, in Xuanhua County, near Nanning Prefecture, as a county commander, the news spread back to Vietnam, Vietnam was a sensation, The world thinks that Chen Wending is the reincarnation of Wenqu Xing, Chen Wending is also very loyal to Vietnam, a county order expires, and after two years of study in the Jingshi University Hall, he will return to China to serve, so as soon as he returns to China, he is worshiped as the governor of Thang Long Province, in charge of this important northern town that has been invaded by the French.
