50. Between gains and losses (4)

Guo Songtao's face showed a look of horror, "Pu Cungong, you know what is inside, tell me, who did the assassination of Ege?" ”

"It doesn't matter at all, Yun Xian, I told you early in the morning, you can't expect Ege to make any progress in Vietnam, whether the matter in Vietnam will succeed or not, the key is to look at the meaning of the center, Ege has shown such a big face in Vietnam, naturally he has to take such a big risk, the French dare to attack Hue City, this must have a way to deal with Ege, no matter who did it now, it can just be pressed on the French, you know, the French dare to assassinate diplomatic envoys, this is a big taboo in diplomatic behavior, They lost their sharpness for a while, we can do a good job in foreign affairs, we have the right to speak and decide on many things, the matter between China and France, Yunxian you know best, in addition to Suez and Vietnam, there are many other important things to discuss, and now you are still struggling with these things to do? Aren't you ready to get down to business? ”

In addition to the two things mentioned by Zuo Zongtang, China and France have introduced a large number of outstanding French natural science academic elites and purchased and learned a large number of machinery manufacturing technologies, and tariff negotiations on trade in goods between the two countries, and the Nanyang Shipping Administration has even been negotiating with the French to package and purchase a shipyard in Marseille, which can be directly launched to build commercial ships and mail ships with a water holding capacity of 1,000 to 3,000 tons. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info this is also very critical, the French are not unwilling to sell now, but to wait for the price to sell, in a strategic sense, absorbing the strengths of all families, is the right way to learn science and technology, Zuo Zongtang is very dissatisfied with Guo Songtao's questioning, he believes that Guo Songtao now needs to do more, is to take advantage of the French to speak loudly The opportunity to finalize these things is the most important thing.

"But Pu Cungong, I know the news, but I am not as angry as Qinghai , I have doubts in my heart, how could Ege die so coincidentally, it seems that he stabbed the French in the waist with a punch, so that they couldn't say half a word. There is also this regiment training into Vietnam, and the death of Ege is the best excuse and reason! ”

"Yunxian, be cautious, the affairs of the DPRK and the central government, not you can guess it blindly, there is a saying that you don't enter the military plane, you don't know the reason, you don't have an overview of the overall situation, many things are not transparent, you won't understand, many people and things can be sacrificed, if you lose Vietnam now can be exchanged for eternal peace, then even if you are burdened with infamy, I am willing to do it." Zuo Zongtang shook his head, "I know what you have in mind," he put another bundle of letters into a mahogany box, ready to go south to take home, "It's nothing more than that I feel that Ege will die in vain, and I'm afraid that one day I will die like him, and I don't know what to do, isn't it?" ”

Guo Songtao was silent, but obviously agreed with Zuo Zongtang's words, "You can rest assured of this, as a minister, if it still has a little effect, it will not be abandoned by the monarch, you are conscientious in the prime minister's yamen, presiding over diplomatic affairs, whoever loses it will not lose you." ”

"I'm just worried about you," Guo Songtao shook his head, "According to your tone, you're already a dead performer now." ”

"Oh? Do you think so too? Zuo Zongtang said with a smile, he clapped his hands, sat on the Taishi chair and lifted Erlang's legs, "So I said that you don't have enough vision," he said unceremoniously to Guo Songtao, "Think about it, why did you send Ege to Vietnam, why Ege died in Hue, why happened to be a legal person attacking, and the king of Vietnam died again, Tang Jingsong originally served under the account of the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, why did he go to the Black Flag Army, why is the stake of the Suez Canal hanging in the air, and has been hanging here?" Why did I go south again at this time? If you figure all these things out, you will become a talent, and when you figure it out, when will you be able to join the military aircraft department as an errand boy. ”

"I don't expect to enter the military plane, as long as it can be used as an errand." Guo Songtao touched his nose, "Don't ask for anything else." ”

"The mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings, and then there are two whirlpools, unfathomable to eat people, one place needless to say, naturally Vietnam and Liangguang, and the other is Beijing, the two sides are in dispute, there must be a victory or defeat, if you are not careful, stand on the wrong team, be careful that you can't turn over within ten years."

"Park Cungong, what do you think? Ready to stand over there? ”

"Do you need to talk about this?" Zuo Zongtang twisted his beard and smiled, "For the sake of me going to the south, first, the court doesn't need me to do much, and I have also arranged manpower, second, these two whirlpools, my heart is really itchy, so I have to deal with one to try, otherwise stay in Beijing, Ah Ye, I am bored and will suffocate to death." His attitude was chic, and he did not see the slightest sense of embarrassment and desolation from Beijing, "Some people think that I am frustrated, but I am afraid that they will be wrong, and in the end, the frustrated ones are only afraid that they are watching jokes!" ”

The Queen Mother has had dinner, began to walk, her habit of taking a walk with a meal, if the weather is hot outside, then just walk around the palace a few times, the weather is good, there was a heavy rainstorm at three or four o'clock, just to extinguish the summer heat, after August 15, the weather was originally a little cooler, the waning moon has hung in the eastern sky, the breeze is blowing, very pleasant, just can walk the Queen Mother with a few eunuchs and harem maids together to the frank swing, here the vision is broad, the palace is hearty, The Empress Dowager Cixi is very fond of coming here, plus there are a lot of goldfish here, the Empress Dowager likes to enjoy the cherished fish species over the years, there is love, the next must be from Yan, all over the country have paid tribute to a lot of strange fish, today several white marble carved fences surrounded by fish ponds, inside to see is the Heilongjiang general into the palace living in Heilongjiang bamboo fish, the whole body is emerald green, slender, lined with white sand and mud at the bottom, it is very good-looking, the Empress Dowager Cixi sprinkled a few fish into it, and asked Li Lianying casually, "These days, what are the six masters busy with?" ”

"It's just to run an errand in the Military Aircraft Department, and then it's to meet people in the house, the ministers of the court, the local officials, and the clan of the Eight Banners, all of them are not accurate, but he can't be empty in the mansion."

Several bamboo fish jumped out of the water in order to compete for the fish food floating on the water, crackling, the Empress Dowager Cixi smiled and nodded, "He is as busy as ever, in the end, I am much more free than him." ”

Li Lianying glanced at the expression of the Empress Dowager Cixi, although she had a smile on her face, the corners of her mouth were drooping downward, which showed that she was not in much of a good mood. (To be continued.) )
