    Chapter 200 Intentional Acceptance (2)

    Bao Chao lived in Guanyi and had to rely on his own soldiers to provide food every day because of the government's seal. These people were used to holding long and short hands, so it was awkward to flip the wok, and the food was cooked.  It was so salty and bitter that I couldn't swallow it. I wanted to order people to buy it on the street several times, or eat it directly in a restaurant, but because I had just come to Beijing for the first time, I gave up this idea.  It is pitiful for a few soldiers who commanded tens of thousands of soldiers to fight bloody battles. They endured in Guanyi every day and ate scraps of food. It is a bit exaggerated to say it, but it is also true.

    "This time, thanks to Zhonghua's kindness, our brothers had a wonderful tooth ceremony." Bao Chao was so drunk that he looked sideways at Ronglu who was sitting on the main seat.  "I, Old Bao, will definitely repay this kindness in the future! Xiao Lu? When we return to Japan, we will select a few people from the detention camp and send them to Zhong Hua in Beijing so that his brother can eat meat.  "

    Ronglu and Chengxiang looked at each other in shock, "Chunting, what foreign meat?"

    "Hey! Your brother doesn't know yet, right? By the way, Cheng Xiang must know, let him tell you. We are rough people, we can't learn those ungrateful words, let him speak, let him speak!"

    Chengxiang didn't know that he was seriously injured in the first battle in Hegang Mansion and returned home, but as long as a man heard such a statement, he would understand; the same was true for Ronglu, they just didn't expect that such a thing would happen now  Is it already so justified?  Aren't you afraid of being investigated by the court?  "Chunting, thisisn't it possible?"

    "What's wrong with you?" Bao Chao said loudly, "Well, let's just say Wang Yu is the number one scholar in the army, isn't he still enjoying it?" He patted Ronglu's shoulder with his big hand and said with a smile.  , "Don't worry, I'll just find an excuse afterwards and I'll take them back - it's a pity that your brother can't go there, otherwise, I'll let you choose by yourself when you get there, and I'll make sure you're satisfied."

    Ronglu smiled bitterly. Although he felt that Bao Chao's words were ridiculous, he was also a little envious: it could be seen from their expressions that this time they sent troops to Japan, not to mention the soldiers, but these generals did not.  Don¡¯t be tainted by these romantic debts!  He secretly shook his head and put this idea aside, "Chun Ting, is the progress of the troops in Japan going smoothly this time?"

    "Finally, it's not bad." Bao Chao said quickly, "Brothers are all good, none of them are stupid. Brother Rong has never led an army. Xiao Cheng knows it. The most fearful thing on the battlefield is someone getting greedy.  Because of the fear of death, if one person retreats, he will lead a group of people to panic, and a group of people will lead a whole battalion of people. If that happens, everything will be in chaos!"

    "What Old Bao said is true," Cheng Xiang said, "I remember that during the battle in Hegang Mansion, I personally killed six bastards who retreated before the battle to stop the decline. Otherwise, I really don't know what to do next.  Just do it."

    Ronglu nodded, "Then, can we still meet the military needs? Is the morale of the soldiers still high?"

    Bao Chao didn¡¯t understand, ¡°What did you say?¡±

    Wang Yu took over the topic, "The morale can still be maintained. There is only one section. When we left by boat, many winter clothes had not arrived. The brothers had to use Japanese cotton clothes and quilts to keep warm. They didn't know that the people in the Ministry of War  What happened? If we didn¡¯t have Japanese clothes, would we be allowed to sleep in the ice and snow?¡±

    Ronglu secretly said, "Sure enough!"  He had only heard a little bit about Zaijun. After all, the Ministry of War affairs were not something he could interfere with. Now he got confirmation from Wang Yu, "Didn't you write a memorial to the emperor?"

    "Why not?" Bao Chao understood now, "Don't say it's me, even the commander-in-chief has sent people back to ask, but I heard that many winter clothes are sent to the North Route Army. Our side,  You have to wait a while. Just wait, brothers won¡¯t be cold or hungry anyway.¡±

    Bao Chao, Cai Gengyang and Lu Bingli were all rough men who were illiterate. Although Wang Yu was literate, he had just arrived and did not know the inside story. Cheng Xiang was different. From the questions and answers of Ronglu and several people, he could tell that  He felt a little strange about the disadvantages: Rong Zhonghua asked so many questions for what?  What does this matter have to do with him?

    After dinner, it was already past Hai hour, and there was no need to clean up the remaining tables. We would wait until tomorrow. Ronglu and Chengxiang chatted with Bao Chao and others for a while, set a time to meet again tomorrow, and stood up to leave.  After leaving Guanyi, he asked his master to stay. Ronglu got on the sedan and said, "Go to Mutton Alley."

    Mutton Hutong is Zaiying¡¯s residence. When he came, Zaiying was hosting a banquet for friends. They had just finished the banquet and were sitting in a small table in the study, having a heart-to-heart talk. This time it was Li Hongzhang who he invited.

    Li Hongzhang got himself into a lot of trouble because of Hu Xiaomao's secret peace with the enemy. Fortunately, the emperor had no intention of delving into the matter. When he was answering the imperial memorial in front of the emperor, he said something very inappropriate and caused Zaiying to suffer innocently. This matter  Although it has been solved, in Li Hongzhang's heart, there is alwaysI owe a lot, so when it's time for the Chinese New Year, I personally come over to pay New Year greetings. Zaiying naturally stays with me for dinner. At the same time, I order my servants to invite Zai Chun and Zai Sing to stay with me as guests.

    While I was talking in the study, a servant came to report, "Sir Rong, the Admiral of the Nine Sects, is here."

    Li Hongzhang was stunned for a moment, then stood up and said, "Zhong Hua's visit at night must be for something. I'd better say goodbye to the second master first and come back another day."

    "Shaoquan and Zhonghua also had a friendship back then. We haven't seen each other for many years. It's just a good time to talk about our farewells. There's no need to leave, there's no need to leave!"

    Li Hongzhang did not force himself and nodded in agreement; on the other hand, brother Zai Chundai came forward and welcomed Ronglu to the study room, "Oh? The teacher is here too? I have met you and the teacher."

    The relationship between Li Hongzhang and Ronglu was a bit complicated. First of all, Ronglu's father had an old relationship with the great scholar Linggui, and the two parties were engaged in a marriage. However, Ronglu later entered the Tongwen Hall and studied Western learning. In Linggui's opinion,  It was simply an act of neglecting one's ancestors, so he broke up the marriage contract between the two families regardless of the public opinion. The in-laws became enemies, and Linggui was Li Hongzhang's disciple, so from this aspect, they had the same friendship.

    On another level, Li Hongzhang joined the newly established General Administration Office. In the second year of Xianfeng, the exchanges between the Qing Dynasty and Western countries were far less frequent than they are now, and official affairs were not heavy. With a stroke of his pen, the emperor let him and Bao Jun  When they had free time from official duties, they all went to teach in Tongwen Hall, which created an extra sense of friendship between junior and younger students. Finally, they graduated from Ronglu and worked in the General Administration, and the two of them had a relationship as colleagues.  For Ronglu, he has always regarded him as a teacher. As for the dispute with Linggui Mansion that year, it has long since disappeared.

    Li Hongzhang smiled at him and said, "Where is Zhonghua from?"

    "Something happened in the yamen today" Ronglu was so shrewd. When he saw Li Hongzhang present, he knew that there were some words that were hard to tell the truth. It was not that he couldn't believe Li Hongzhang, but he was worried that he would be in an embarrassing situation, so he only said some unjust words.  "I made an agreement with the Second Master two years ago that I would go over to pay New Year's greetings to the Second Master today. Due to my busy schedule, I didn't get out until now. Look, it's still the third day of the Lunar New Year, so it's not until now.  Come here to wish Second Master a happy new year."

    "Seeing that you are so drunk, I guess you have another social event, no! I will punish you for leaving me aside and having fun alone!" Zai Chun shouted.

    "Eighth Master, please spare this slave. The Second Master and the Ninth Master know this slave's ability to drink, but he really can't drink."

    Zaiying smiled, ordered someone to replace the remaining tea, and brewed another pot of hot tea. Several people sat around the table and chatted, "You just said that there was trouble in the Yamen? No trouble is worth it for you, the nine-door admiral."  Ask yourself?"

    "Second Master, don't look at me. I have nine admirals, I'm just an errand boy! If something happens to any family, I have to come forward. This is Beijing. Do you know any beggar who has a red belt for his ancestors?" Ronglu was stunned.  Ku Shui, "If you think about it carefully, you can't touch anyone except the slave who can afford to offend him!"

    Everyone laughed when they heard him speak like a tongue twister. Li Hongzhang said on the side, "I still remember that it was in the 30th year of Daoguang's reign.  At a glance,"

    Many people are aware of this incident. It is very interesting to hear Li Hongzhang narrate it now, "I still remember that later, the emperor summoned Duke Ting and told him that if he takes this official position and performs this ceremony, none of the nine admirals will do so."  If you have a strong head, you don¡¯t need to sit down at all. Instead of wasting time here, it¡¯s better to take off your hat and give way to others! Zhonghua can use these words to encourage himself.¡±

    "What Shaoquan said is that Zhonghua should be like this." Zaiying also echoed from the side.

    "What the teacher and Master Bei said is true, Ronglu has written it all down."

    "Go on, Zhonghua, go on, what interesting things happened in the Yamen today?"

    "It is said that the flood washed away the Dragon King Temple. They are all one family." Rong Lu briefly explained the conflict between Zaijun and Bao Chao. "I think it is hard to blame the fourth master's house for this matter."  On top of the servants, think about it, these people are used to walking sideways in the capital, and Bao Junmen speaks with accents that they can't even understand, how can they take these people to heart?"

    Li Hongzhang chuckled on the side. Ronglu had many reservations about his words. He had been a foreign official for many years, but he also knew a little bit about things in Beijing. What kind of person the fourth elder brother was, there had been rumors in Beijing for a long time. Everyone knew that he was an uneducated and ignorant person.  The dandy boy who uses magic only thinks about two things all day long. The first is to make money, and the second is to get involved in sex;  You can imagine it.

    "So, if you drink tonight, it will be with Brother Si and the others?"

    "No, I gave a banquet to a few people from Bao Junmen. Oh, we also talked about the teacher during the dinnerWoolen cloth!  "

    "Yeah?"

    "Yes." Rong Lu smiled and looked very handsome. He turned to Li Hongzhang and said, "Chun Ting Junmen told me that the teacher is famous for his 'middle hall temper', and losing his temper is a sign of intimacy.  . There are many people in the army who know his temper. They say that the teacher likes to curse people with a Hefei dialect: 'Fuck your mother!' If someone gets this curse, there is a great chance of promotion and wealth!"

    As soon as he said this, everyone burst into laughter.  "Shaoquan, is what Zhonghua said true?"

    Li Hongzhang smiled bitterly and nodded, "The generals and officers in the army are mostly illiterate people. To deal with them without writing is like playing the piano to an ox, and you have to use roughness to roughness."

    Zaiying laughed again.

    Seeing Zai Ying's happy expression, Rong Lu felt jealous for no reason, and suddenly said straightforwardly, "Second Master, I have a few words to say to Second Master."

    "Say, say! We are all family members, so there is no harm in coming."

    Ronglu didn't speak, he just looked at Li Hongzhang and the others. How could anyone among them be ignorant?  Without waiting for Zaiying to say anything, they each stood up and went outside.

    Zaiying's face became a little gloomy, and she looked at Ronglu under the light, "Zhonghua, what are you doing? Shaoquan"

    "This matter is related to Tsuen Shuai."

    "oh?"

    "Today, while having dinner with Bao Chunting, I heard something."

    After he finished speaking, Zaiying was stunned for a while. The frontline sergeants were not fully equipped with winter clothes. He also vaguely heard some rumors. From what Ronglu said, it was the fourth child who invaded the fish and caused such an extremely evil impact?  Why didn't Li Hongzhang tell himself about such a big thing?  Is it because I can't bear to see the fourth child suffer misfortune, or is it because he is at both ends of the spectrum and has hidden evil intentions?

    He used the fingers of his left hand to scratch the pad of his right index finger, and while he was thinking, this was definitely a big joint that could be used; once successful, he could cut off Lao Wu's important help!  But when I think about it again, I feel that I am trying to do something wrong!  What kind of thing the fourth child is is known to both the government and the public, so what is the use of getting rid of him?  This is not to mention that once this matter is brought to light, it is likely to cause fire.

    I still remember that I was ordered to go to Fushan City to labor in late September. Although the weather was not very cold at that time, the soldiers were wearing thin summer clothes. I remember that I still had doubts at that time and wanted to ask Li Hongzhang clearly.  I understand, but because I have been pestering Bao Chao and others all day long to tell the story of Yang Naiwu's case, I let it go.  This time, if Huang Ama asks, how will I answer?

    As soon as she thought of this, Zaiying immediately understood that after this incident, the fourth child had no hope of getting a good result, and he was afraid that he would not be able to escape the responsibility of his oversight. When the time came, he would be replaced by the servant of the fifth party for himself, the most favored one.  Brother, it's not worth it no matter what; not to mention that once things happen, Yu Kun and Lian Jia will be sentenced to death. At that time, he will completely offend Lishan and Sushun, and these two people are what he has always wanted to do.  How can you offend someone who cannot be won over?

    "Zhonghua, this matter" Zaiying pondered for a long time and suddenly changed the topic, "Yes, you just said that you would take Bao Chunting and several others to visit Hu Xiaomao in the Ministry of Justice tomorrow?"

    "yes."

    "Well, I'll go with you tomorrow. I still owe Bao Junmen and Hu Junmen a section of the public case that hasn't been sorted out!"

    "Oh? I wonder what kind of koan it is?"

    Zai Ying burst into laughter, "Isn't it the Yang Naiwu case that caused a lot of commotion a few days ago?" He mentioned that when he went to work in the army, Bao Chao kept pestering him, but he delayed the matter until now on the grounds that he didn't know what was going on.  After telling the story once, Ronglu smiled and said, "Then, Second Master, take a rest early. I and I will resign. Wait until tomorrow morning when Second Master has regained enough energy to start a new book!"
