    "That's right!" Li Hongzhang glanced at Hu Linyi, and then told a story from the past: "It is said that before his death, Duke Lin Zexu still shouted that China's big trouble must be Russia. Prime Minister Hu, you have to guard against it!"

    "This is what Your Majesty wants to think about. What does it have to do with me!" Hu Linyi glanced at Li Hongzhang who was eager to try, but couldn't see anything clearly.

    He didn¡¯t understand the purpose of Li Hongzhang¡¯s visit, but Li Hongzhang held up the tea cup. The faint fragrance of tea filled the room with fragrance, but Li Hongzhang¡¯s whole person also became vague.

    After a while, Li Hongzhang said in a deep tone: "Run Zhigong, you are the elder of my sect, and my teacher is a lifelong friend. As a junior, I would like to advise you, it is better for you to change with the times and be more enlightened and practice."  .¡±

    Hu Linyi couldn't see the Li Hongzhang in front of him more and more clearly. He also picked up the tea cup, took a sip carefully, and thought about the meaning. He suddenly threw the tea cup on the table and said, "Shao Quan, although I am a few years older than you.  , but I also know that you are not a common man, and I have always respected you, so why do you humiliate me so much."

    There was a smile on Li Hongzhang's face. He put down the teacup gently, stood up and left his seat, and paid Hu Linyi a compliment: "Mr. Run, this is what I say from the bottom of my heart! If we don't make changes, I'm afraid a disaster is coming.  "

    "Nonsense!" Hu Linyi grasped the tea cup tightly, and saw that his hands were shaking non-stop, as if he had exposed the tea cup: "I don't want to imitate your teacher, shaking my head and tail everywhere, completely forgetting that I am a Jinshi."

    On the surface, he said that Zeng Guofan had become a political doll manipulated by Liu Chang and Hongjun, but in reality he was talking about Li Hongzhang, who was always talking about news.  But Li Hongzhang smiled instead. He sat down directly with full sarcasm on his face: "Yes. My teacher has lost face, but what are you saying now? Your Majesty has already said it. If you don't study for three days, you will be  I can¡¯t keep up with Zeng Disheng.¡±

    If you don¡¯t study for three days, you won¡¯t be able to catch up with Zeng Disheng?

    Hu Linyi¡¯s expression tightened. He was from a standard rich and handsome background. Everything went smoothly in his life and he never encountered any setbacks. He had a good family background and a good father-in-law.  With a good wife, a group of good colleagues, and a group of good fellow villagers, he successfully became the governor of Hubei and later became the prime minister of the cabinet.

    If we talk about setbacks, it means that the long-term attack on Wuchang City was insurmountable, and even the general Luo Zenan was defeated.  Apart from this, he really didn't have any difficulties or obstacles in his life, but he remained sufficiently vigilant about this meaningful sentence.

    Such typical Newspeak could only have come from the mouth of Liu Juehu.  The meaning of these words is far-reaching. Liu Chang would never say that he was inferior to Zeng Guofan, but he meant something, and the most likely person was him, the prime minister of the cabinet.

    Therefore, Hu Linyi frowned unknowingly and his eyes flickered: "Isn't that great? If the master is resurrected, it will be a grand event for us Hunan people"

    It was only when he finished speaking that he remembered that the Li Hongzhang in front of him was not from Hunan, but from Anhui. And Li Hongzhang had never heard of this flaw. He said very seriously: "If my teacher makes a comeback, ordinary people will  The position cannot accommodate a great god like him!"

    Just saying this, Li Hongzhang threw the teacup on the case, and the tea flowed all over the floor. Before Hu Linyi could react, he had already said it out loud: "Prime Minister Hu, Mr. Run, old Prime Minister, I will do it for you."  Worry, you have been in the cabinet for a long time and have made a lot of achievements. However, during this period you have only done things and not been a person. Now, who in the cabinet echoes you, and who is your heart-to-heart mentor? Mr. Hu  , your current situation seems to be prosperous, but in fact it is in danger. If someone throws a big stone at you behind your back, who will be willing to speak for you!"

    Li Hongzhang spoke so quickly that Hu Linyi could not react. When Hu Linyi finally reacted, his forehead was already covered in cold sweat: "Shaoquan, I don't want to introduce clique fighting!"

    In taking office as Prime Minister this year, Hu Linyi did make some achievements, but it is an indisputable fact that he was a single figure in the cabinet. He had a high self-esteem, and he was born into a rich and handsome man. Naturally, he was unwilling to manage his connections honestly, and instead used  A large number of cabinet colleagues were offended.

    "You have no cronies, and you don't even have enough staff. All you use are the people His Majesty gave you!" Li Hongzhang slammed the table again: "But others don't see it that way. There is no Hu Party now, only the anti-Hu Party.  Otherwise, why would your Majesty's casual remarks be so widely circulated outside?"

    "If you don't study for three days, will you not be able to catch up with Zeng Disheng?"

    Regardless of whether this sentence came from Liu Chang's mouth, as the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, Hu Linyi knew that there must be something in it. He frowned and asked: "Why do Shaoquan teach me?"

    Li Hongzhang almost rolled up his sleeves and said directly: "Run Zhigong, I know you only know how to do things, but now you have to be more transparent and knowledgeable! You areYou should go see His Majesty!"

    "Your Majesty?"

    Of course Hu Linyi knew Li Hongzhang. This so-called "meeting" was not an official transaction, but a private visit and heart-to-heart talk between two people. He had had several such opportunities, but he had completely missed them because of his arrogance.

    Li Hongzhang's voice became louder and louder, and he put both hands on the table: "I know that Prime Minister Hu has opinions about Your Majesty now, but if you think about it, isn't it His Majesty who really supports Prime Minister Hu in his work now?  "

    Of course, Hu Linyi had opinions about Liu Chang, a figure who rose up in the grassland. He privately called Liu Chang Liu Juehu, thinking that this was the husband of the grassland. Apart from a bit of luck, he was not worth talking about at all. Nothing else.  It is said that the title of King Yan before proclaiming the emperor and the title of Zhenyuan after proclaiming the emperor would make people laugh out loud if they fall into the eyes of a little knowledgeable person.

    What¡¯s more, this Emperor Zhenyuan had learned a lot about Jin Hailing¡¯s lust, and what kind of women were in his harem?  Not to mention the two big-footed women from Guangxi, there were also the wives and concubines of Hong Xiuquan and the generals of the Kingdom of Heaven who had abandoned Nanjing, and even took in Zhang Lexing's young wife. Such lust far exceeded that of King Hailing of Jin. Sometimes he even thought of another history.  Character Liang Taizu.

    But Li Hongzhang¡¯s words suddenly made Hu Linyi realize. When he thought about it carefully, the only person inside and outside the center who really supported him in his work was Liu Chang.

    It was Liu Chang who promoted him from Hubei to Beijing and was directly promoted to the cabinet prime minister, taking charge of all cabinet ministries. In the early stage, the cabinet power was negligible, and he only controlled a negligible part of all matters, including financial and administrative power.  , these powers are either controlled by Liu Chang, or fall into the hands of the military and various governors. Of course, although Hu Linyi has been running around repeatedly, if Liu Chang was not willing to delegate power, how could the cabinet be in today's situation.

    Although Liu Chang is vulgar, ignorant of poetry and etiquette, he has full trust in Hu Linyi. In the past few months, he has transferred dozens of powers to the cabinet. Now the cabinet speaks with thick waist. This is all His Majesty's.  Grace.

    The more he thought about it, the more Hu Linyi broke into cold sweat. He repeatedly handed over to Li Hongzhang: "Shaoquan teaches me, Shaoquan teaches me, Shaoquan teaches me!"

    Li Hongzhang smiled slightly and said very sincerely: "Why does Prime Minister Hu need my advice? The king and his ministers get along with each other. This is a beautiful saying since ancient times!"

    Hu Linyi already understood: "For the Russians?"

    "That's right, Your Majesty hasn't figured it out yet. It's a great time for you to meet His Majesty!"

    Hu Linyi looked at Li Hongzhang carefully, but felt that Li Hongzhang's eyes were as deep as the sea. Apart from a bit of sincerity, he could not see what his intentions were. It was just that his own house was already a clay Buddha crossing the river: "Okay! I'll go there.  Jin meets Your Majesty, at this time"

    Li Hongzhang took over Hu Linyi's words: "Your Majesty should be in the small barracks The so-called small barracks is the name for a small barracks near the palace in Hangzhou. In history, it was the residence of the Green Camp. After the change of the Great Xia Dynasty, Liu Chang  Simplicity was practiced and the people below did not dare to be too extravagant. Therefore, after simple reconstruction, this small barracks has become the highest headquarters of the Daxia Army.

    Therefore, there are only a very small number of sergeants serving here. Most of the rest are excellent and young officers in the Hong Army. They are often selected from various divisions and brigades and serve here for a few months or several years.  Years later, they are distributed to the troops. At that time, they are the most important officers or chiefs of staff of the entire army.

    It's just that Hu Linyi rarely goes to the small barracks. He, the cabinet prime minister, is not very popular in the small barracks. The officers know clearly that every time he enters the small barracks, he has to pull a piece of fat from the military's bowl. Sometimes  Some states and counties under military control have special powers that the military originally enjoyed.

    But this is the reality that the flowers are helpless. The young officers can only welcome this rare guest with a hum: "I have seen Mr. Hu!"

    Although the cabinet does not have the position of prime minister, it is an indisputable fact that Hu Linyi is the de facto prime minister. Zhu Jinlei, who hurriedly greeted him, showed a rare smile: "Prime Minister Hu, we are honored to have you here!"

    Hu Linyi glanced at Zhu Jinlei and the young officers behind them, but directly explained his purpose: "Is your Majesty here?"

    Zhu Jinlei then gave a military salute: "Your Majesty is here, but"

    "It's not very convenient"

    Hu Linyi knew that although Liu Chang was ridiculous and lustful, he would never miss official duties because of this. At this time every day, he would definitely handle important military and political affairs at the headquarters. Sometimes the instructions to the cabinet were given here. In fact, most of them were given by Liu Chang.  decision-making, while the cabinet is only an executive agency.

    Therefore, he didn¡¯t believe Zhu Jinlei¡¯s words and walked directly inside: "I want to see His Majesty!"

    He had only taken two steps when the tall Zhu Jinlei was already standing in front of him, repeating the words: "It's inconvenient for Your Majesty!"
