20. Uninvited (1)

"How did your father know all about the meaning of the ancients? Naturally, it's just a straightforward expression, this fast snow is written about the early snow, daughter, what you said is good, I am now wishing to taste, more pleasant than General Zuo's heavy snow and early sunshine," Li Hongzhang nodded with a smile, he smiled at Li Ju, "Or your daughter is right, I suddenly said the queen mother's heart, my actions are naturally in line with the queen mother's intentions." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Father, you are obedient to the will of the Queen Mother now, but I am afraid that there will be a lot of troubles in the future," Li Ju said with a smile, "People must have near-term worries if they have no long-term concerns, father, your near-term worries are avoided, what about the long-term worries in the future?" ”

"This near and far-reaching worries will not come together," Li Hongzhang is obviously in a very good mood at this time, and he doesn't care about these troubles in the distance, "Speaking of which, I want to learn from Zuo Jigao, he is so open-minded, he only cares about the present, he has no time to regret his voice, and he will not care about his children and grandchildren, but he is frank and open, no one blames him for anything, now he has done the things in front of him first, and the things in the future, how are they, or two words." ”

The father and daughter played dumb riddles, and they didn't say exactly what this foresight was, Li Ju was not an uninteresting person, seeing his father so happy, he didn't talk about those things that ruined the fun, and turned to other things, "The queen mother is now hurrying to put these important positions one by one, the minister of military aircraft, the governor, and the scholar and the squire, such a large group, even if the emperor is in charge in the future, it will not be easy to move for a while, right?" I thought that the Queen Mother would reserve these positions for the emperor to make his own arrangements. ”

"First, there is not enough time, so many empty places, it can't be stopped for so long, and second, the Queen Mother always has to arrange her own people first, so that she can return to politics with peace of mind," Li Hongzhang took the pen and smiled, "This is a certain reason." ”

"The third one also needs to be rewarded, right?" Li Ju said with a smile.

"Daughter, people don't say it, it's good for you to see through it, you have to say it if you see through it," Li Hongzhang took the tip of the ink-stained pen and clicked a little chrysanthemum in the air, "You have said everything like this, what do you still call the old father to say?" ”

Ju Couple stuck out his tongue and smiled mischievously, "Since my father has already written, let's hurry up and write the inscription, today is a good day for my father's ascension, and my daughter will keep this word well, and it will be good to use it as a memorial in the future." ”

Li Hongzhang nodded, and he said to Li San, the long-term attendant who had been waiting on the side without speaking, "Besides the old man, who else is my appointment?" ”

"Zai Ling is the governor of mountains and rivers, take your position, sir, the Shangshu Shilang in the court moved," he said roughly, Li Hongzhang was writing the word "Luzhou", "The Military Aircraft Department reappointed Yuan Shikai as the commander of the defense military in North Korea and the minister of trade in North Korea. ”

At this time, Li Hongzhang was writing his alias, the last of the word "and" at the end of "Yisuo", hearing this disappear, the wolf who was holding it couldn't help but move slightly, dragged it for a long time, and shook it a little, some strange shapes, such a good attitude of writing and ink to copy Wang Xizhi's fast snow when the sunny post, hard white and slightly flawed, leaving a small flaw out.

Li Hongzhang picked up the pen and turned his head in surprise, "What? He was obviously very out of shape, the gaffe at this time, Li Ju Coupling had not seen it for many years, he just held the Wolf Haohu Pen and condensed it on the rice paper, the ink on the tip of the pen slowly condensed into ink beads, and it was about to drip onto the rice paper, Li Ju Coupling hurriedly took away the green jade paperweight, picked up Li Hongzhang's ink treasure, Li Hongzhang put down the pen, "Yuan Shikai official reinstated?" Is it an order from the Military Aircraft Department? ”

"Yes, the opinion of the Ministry of War, approved by the Military Aircraft Department."

Li Hongzhang frowned, he put his hands behind his back, looked on his back and thought hard, and after not saying a word for a long time, Li Ju realized that Li Hongzhang attached so much importance to this unknown Yuan Shikai, "Father, did my daughter do something wrong?" She felt a little uneasy in her heart, "You take such a fancy to Yuan Shikai, this person must have something special." ”

She was a little worried that treating Yuan Shikai like that before seemed to be a bit bad for her father's big thing, Li Hongzhang's white eyebrows were raised, and he waved his hand, "It's nothing, it's just that I deliberately snubbed him before, and you gave him an extra two hundred taels of silver, I'm afraid that he went to find someone else, but I'm thinking about it now," Li Hongzhang turned around and sat on the sofa, his living room was different from ordinary people, and most of the furniture was Western, "Whose way did he find?" I was thinking of waiting for me to take office first, and then let him be reinstated, but now, hey! ”

Li Hongzhang's words revealed a sense of pity, Yuan Shikai was reinstated so quickly, he must have found a way from others, in this way, he wanted the opportunity to send charcoal in the snow to Yuan Shikai very grateful, and now he was taken by others first, Li Hongzhang knew very well that as the minister of Beiyang, the most important military thing to face quickly was to face the aggressiveness of the Japanese in Korea, this matter is not a big deal, but it is very tricky, and it is a waste of time, He must find a capable person, a capable person who understands the situation in North Korea, and also knows the style of the Japanese, it doesn't matter if he looks at the Japanese in North Korea and makes the Japanese mischievous, just don't go to the big folds, he can't put too much energy in North Korea, Yuan Shikai is actually Li Hongzhang's favor, but now, Li Hongzhang shook his head, "That's it, since he has his own way, I'm also happy for him, he said that in the end, he is a disciple of Huaijun, he didn't help much, and he will give him a good future in the future." ”

"Why didn't my father invite him over at this time?" Li Ju has some curiosity about Yuan Shikai at this time, his father is the most arrogant kind of person, there are not many people who can be favored by him in Su Ri, a Yuan Shikai is still a small official position is actually so favored by Li Hongzhang, there must be something unique, "Today's father is promoted to the governor of Zhili, ordinary people are not seen, if he is invited to see, he must also be very grateful, how much can make up for his daughter's previous neglect." ”

Li Hongzhang thought for a while and shook his head, at this time he lit his pipe, and the smoke covered his expression, "I guess he won't come at this time, he has a new official position, if he comes to the old man, it must not be inappropriate, and the other people who helped him reinstate the official must be uncomfortable, he is a smart person, and he will not come." I don't need him to come, before he takes office, he must go to Baoding to wait for me, and worship me as a Shangguan. (To be continued.) )
