"Wei Ting, you think of me like this?" Wang Kaiyun put down the teacup, "You know, I'm just doing an errand in Zhan Shifu now, and I don't have a serious position anymore." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

"You are a serious cloth cloth lady, why do you need to use such shallow words to test the bottom," Yuan Shikai said at this time, but he was also fearless, although the back vest was already soaked in cold sweat, facing Wang Kaiyun's playful eyes, he talked eloquently, "Some people are in high positions, but they are immoral and incompetent, and they can't play the role they should have in a high position, but some people, although they are not in the chess game, can point to the country and scold Fang Xuan, this is Lord Wang." ”

"I know the ability of Lord Wang, so I would rather ring the golden bell than beat the drum for 3,000. Lord Wang," Yuan Shikai had already sat down, but at this time he stood up and bowed, looking very respectful and humble, "If you send charcoal in the snow to help, you will definitely be driven by Lord Wang's horse in the future, and you will never break your word." ”

"Please sit, please sit," Wang Kaiyun nodded and smiled, "The so-called scholar dies for his confidant, your words Yuan Weiting have hit my heart, and he is my Wang Kaiyun's confidant, since this is the case, I will naturally have to help, you say," Wang Kaiyun pointed to the sky, "What does this mean, have you thought about it?" ”

"Yes."

"There are no officials below the fourth grade in the palace, you know this, you have stepped down as the Minister of International Trade, and now you are considered to be a participant, and the head of the palace will not see you."

Yuan Shikai was slightly happy in his heart, "Rules are rules, things are man-made, in the past, Lord Wang and Lord Gao were not below the fourth grade, but they could be summoned by the **** in the palace." ”

Wang Kaiyun's eyes widened slightly, and then he closed it, "It's a good thing to be man-made, but what you said is good, everything is indeed man-made, but now there are two saints in the palace, I don't know which one you want Wang to recommend?" ”

"Me?" Wang Kaiyun was ecstatic in his heart, stepped forward and took a step, and then became a little confused, there are two of them, which one do you want to put in?

Yuan Shikai hesitated, Yuan Shikai, who had always been very calm, finally showed a somewhat confused expression this night, yes, who do you want to see?

Wang Kaiyun smiled slightly, "Since you haven't thought about it yet, let's go back and think about it first, when you figure it out and then come to me, one of them once told me, don't make big decisions in life in the middle of the night, Wei Ting, you go back, think about it during the day, how to choose." ”

Wang Kaiyun got up and sent Yuan Shikai out, he stood under the eaves, and said meaningfully to Yuan Shikai who gave his hand:

"The night is dark, and the road is a little difficult to see, so you walk carefully."

Li Hongzhang and Sun Yuwen chatted until midnight, and then returned to the Anhui Hall tiredly, his youth is no longer young, so staying up late is very tired for him, but his spirit is excellent, when he arrives at the place of living, he doesn't want to rest, and the rest of the people follow Li San to take the soothing ginkgo soup, Li Hongzhang is here but has a big thing in his heart, and other things are re-thought, "Li San, you go to see Yuan Shikai today, what did he say?" ”

Li San told everything he saw and said when he went to Yicui Residence today, Li Hongzhang originally looked very relaxed, but when he heard what Li San said, he couldn't help but be solemn again, and his hand that was originally holding a silver bowl to drink soup suddenly trembled, "What? Did Mademoiselle really tell her that? ”

"That's right."

"This," Li Hongzhang was a little surprised, "Ju Coupling is not so stingy," after thinking about it, he couldn't help but be relieved, "After all, it's still a girl's family, and it's a normal thing, but now, Yuan Shikai can be offended." ”

"Master, that Yuan Shikai is just a little person, it's nothing, look at Wu Shuai's face in the past, help one or two, it's your benevolence and righteousness, if you don't help, others won't be able to say anything about your head, besides, we are not without help, isn't this a small one to send silver?"

Li Hongzhang shook his head, "The silver is small, the face is big, if you say it to him like this, others don't know the meaning, Yuan Shikai is a smart person, and he won't know the meaning," he suddenly felt that the ginkgo soup in the bowl had lost its original taste and put it on the side, "He is a talent, but he is a little unruly, he needs to be sharpened, and he can't be suppressed." ”

This is a very high evaluation, even if Li Hongzhang is facing Sheng Xuanhuai, according to Li San's memory, he has never been so respected, "Master," Li San was faintly puzzled, "Yuan Shikai is just a nobody, why does the master value him so much?" ”

"How can a nobody maintain the situation in North Korea without the support of the new army?" Li Hongzhang shook his head and said, "The Japanese are very aggressive in Korea, if it weren't for the fact that he saved the king of North Korea and Concubine Min several times, I'm afraid that now, the Japanese have already annexed Korea, he doesn't have many cards in his hand, but he can play so well, this is where I like him, the killing is decisive, it's not good at all, the influence in North Korea, even Concubine Min has sued the court," Although Li Hongzhang is not the minister of Beiyang, he also knows a lot about North Korea, "Extravagant, squeezing North Korea, This can't run, so this dismissal is nothing, meritorious service should be rewarded, and if there is a fault, it will be punished, where is this, it is not wrong, he was dismissed this time, I didn't speak, and I didn't bother to speak, this person still has to be pressed," Li Hongzhang sighed, "Haven't I been suppressed for a while?" ”

Li Hongzhang complained, but Li San didn't answer the words, "Then the little one will go to Yicuiju again." ”

"You don't have to go," Li Hongzhang shook his head, "I've already offended him today, wouldn't it seem like an old man is at a loss to go looking for him so late?" Although I fancy him, but now he has to rely on me more time, I rely on him less, the old man's shelf, but he can't fall, not to mention that Yuan Shikai is now the time when he can't hang his face, he is probably sulking, and when the time comes, there is a conflict, so that outsiders can see jokes, and don't pay attention to him, in a few days, you make a post, ask him to come over in person, I will say a few words to him, and this will be opened. ”

Li Hongzhang is in the layout of Beiyang affairs in the future, he is now managing the military port in Weihai, almost half of the affairs of the Beiyang Naval Division can be managed, but this management power is not justified, if there is a powerful governor in the future, then he will not be able to insert half a sentence, and it is also a very likely problem.
