Chapter 137 Secret
That night.

Ma Xinyi went to Yuan's mansion empty-handed.

"I thought you boy wouldn't come over."

The playful tone was full of unspeakable meaning.

There are two rows of lanterns on the left and right, illuminating the courtyard like daytime. Yuan Sanjia is sitting on a bamboo and rattan leisure chair, leisurely playing with a pair of iron gallbladders, with a beautiful woman hammering her shoulders behind her.

"Find a seat by yourself."

Seeing Ma Xinyi coming in, Yuan Sanjia put a pair of iron gallbladders on the plate and waved his hands.

The night breeze brings a rare coolness.

"Meet the Marshal, and wish the Marshal Wankang."

"This time, we must go quickly and return quickly. The iron boat will never delay the business."

Ma Xinyi saluted first, and then expressed his opinion.

"Green ant, go get the wine."

Yuan Sanjia said something indifferent, and his face was as dark as the night outside.

The girl named Green Ant stepped back immediately.

After Ma Xinyi expressed his opinion, he also let go of it for two points, and sat down on the four-legged rattan stool, with his hands on his knees, as if he was listening to his teachings.

Only then did Yuan Sanjia's expression soften.

"The Forbidden City is a dragon's pond and a tiger's lair. Whoever you are, you can coil up or squat down. It's easy to get in, but hard to get out. What do you think?"

Yuan Sanjia stroked his beard and looked around.

"Why didn't brother Ni come?"

he asked again.

For the leader of the Linhuai Army, Lin Dong was indeed more valued than Ma Xinyi.

Ma Xinyi is mainly based on previous experience, changing his master three times, which is too much to lose points.

Lin Dong was just the opposite, all he got were bonus points, and a reckless man was the most suitable for making knives with others.

"I also hope that the commander-in-chief will instruct one or two, and we will wait for the brothers, and the Linhuai Army is the most important thing."

"In addition, my third brother has a hot-tempered personality. He said yesterday that he had something to do and he had to go back later. However, he and I made an appointment to leave early tomorrow morning, and he will definitely be able to arrive. He always does what he says. Action must be done."

Ma Xinyi explained in this way, and said a few good words for Lin Dong.

Yuan Sanjia couldn't help but frowned, and the evil spirit disappeared in a flash.

"That bastard, his rank must be cut someday."

He cursed happily, but then changed the subject: "Since you guys are eye-catching, then the old man will say a few more words."

Call ~
Hearing this, Ma Xinyi breathed a sigh of relief, guessing in his heart that he had something to command him, but he didn't know what Yuan Sanjia's rules were.

"Tie Fang, remember well. Today's imperial court is both a quagmire and a whirlpool. The saint is about to return to the nine heavens. Now, Ba Gu Ming and the Empress Dowager Ci'an are fighting for power very fiercely. You are a local military leader. Involvement in any party is a mortal outcome."

"However, you have come back with a big victory. If you lie low and act small in the capital, you will inevitably fall into the prestige of my Linhuai army. Besides, the most important thing is, Yuan Jue, that brat, has a character that can pierce the sky Master, if you suppress him everywhere, there will be disharmony between brothers, and he will easily bring troubles to you."

Yuan Sanjia spoke neither slowly nor quickly.

Ma Xinyi listened very carefully. For him in the past, the things in the court were the misty clouds in the mountains.

Of course, now, it is finally up the mountain.

Going up the mountain means that you have the opportunity to tear away the clouds and mist and get a glimpse of the true face of the mountain.

cough cough.

Yuan Sanjia coughed twice, cleared his throat, and continued: "I'll show you two ways, do you want to know?"

This is a deliberate trick.

"Thank you for your guidance, Commander."

Ma Xinyi had a clear mind, and immediately bowed down.

Yuan Sanjia stroked his beautiful beard, was very satisfied with Ma Xinyi's attitude, and immediately said: "Remember, if it is a last resort, if you are overwhelmed by the Hunan Army Department, you can't lift your head, you can't breathe, and it doesn't work to find Bada Guming. When someone pays attention to you, then go to Weng Tonghe."

"Weng Tonghe?"

When Ma Xinyi heard the name, he was also a little surprised, and couldn't help repeating it. Obviously he knew some of Weng Tonghe's official voice.

"Dare to ask the commander-in-chief, but are you old with this person?"

Ma Xinyi frowned slightly and said.

"Of course not."

Yuan Sanjia laughed, as if he liked watching the old horse suffer.

Hearing the laughter, Ma Xinyi thought to himself, this bad old man has something to say, so he stood upright and waited for instructions.

moment.

Seeing that Ma Xinyi didn't answer, Yuan Sanjia said again: "This man is the prince's teacher. Not surprisingly, or possibly, he will become the emperor's teacher. He regards himself as the leader of Qingliu."

"It's rumored that he will retaliate against others, and some people say that he is indecisive...Some of these words make sense, and some of them are unreasonable. Although I am not familiar with him, I have seen him as a gloomy and sullen scholar. From the point of view of knowledge alone , he is several floors higher than me, he can indeed be called a master of Confucianism, and he has some insight into the world, if it is a prosperous age, he must be a generation of masters..."

"However, it was the autumn of troubled times. Weng Tong and this person did not have a certainty in doing things. On the contrary, they were easy to do bad things. In the third year of Xianfeng, there was a scholar who claimed to be the number one scholar, but this Qian scholar offended his superiors and was banned. The chief officer Li Wentian deliberately named it the end of Erjia. Weng Tonghe added something at the time - this generation of famous people, if they win the first prize, they must be full of ambition and will not be reckless. This is the case, and there will be troubles in the future. ..."

"Well, what Weng Tonghe said is right. This man has a lot of reputation among the people, and there are people supporting him in the court. After all, some troubles happened. Maybe it was this Qian Guangsha who tossed about the monsters in Yuanbu. Now , went east to Wa Island."

Following Yuan Sanjia's narration, Ma Xinyi quickly understood that Yuan Sanjia was pointing at him.

Weng Tonghe works at both ends.

When Weng Tonghe was counting the scrolls, how could a teacher of the prince not understand that his words would offend people on both sides?
He must have known it, and he said it on purpose to show that he did not stand on both sides, but doing so would be like digging his own grave. Of course, he is the teacher of the prince, and he may even be the teacher of the emperor, so his status can be detached for a while.

But the problem is that among the factions in this world, there is often a life-and-death struggle.

How could someone have made a fool of himself?

That being the case, why did Yuan Sanjia let himself go to Weng Tonghe for something?
What's the point if this person is unreliable?
Ma Xinyi looked dazed, his thoughts surging.

"There is only one thing that Weng Tonghe has done decisively and fiercely, and that is the dispute with Prince Gong. The two have different ideas, one is a clean stream, and the other is a doer. In addition, Zeng Guofan, Zeng Guofan's student Li Hongzhang, and Zeng Guofan's staff Zuo Zongtang has a lot of grievances and grievances with him...but he is opposed to anyone who is supported by the Hunan Army. If the Hunan Army is to use the general force to overwhelm you, if you go to him, you will definitely be able to break the situation."

Yuan Sanjia talked eloquently, explaining some of the secrets in the temple, which seemed to regard the old horse as a real student and disciple, and it was nothing more than that.

The relationship between Zeng Guofan and Weng Tonghe was poor because during the battle between the King of England and the Hunan Army, Chen Yucheng launched a spy war at that time, saying that he wanted to attack Weng Tongshu, the capital of Huizhou.

That is Weng Tonghe's biological brother.

At this time, Weng Tonghe sent three secret letters in a row, asking Zeng Guofan to dispatch troops to rescue. As a result, part of the troops were allocated in the end, and the fruit was picked by the Linhuai Army.

Zeng Guofan was outraged, so he went directly to Zhezi and asked to kill Weng Tongshu to vent his anger, and he was given the death penalty.

With Zeng Guofan's current power, there is almost no room for reversal in this matter.

That scripture is still on the desk of Emperor Xianfeng. Of course, the emperor is now ill, and Weng Tongshu has not dealt with it for the time being.

This is the first mortal enmity.

The second thing is that Zuo Zongtang was born as an aide. He didn't complete the formal imperial examination process. He was just a candidate, not a Jinshi.

Today, because of his many military achievements, especially the war achievements of the Yuanbu's evil disaster, Zuo Gong can barely stand outside the official title of Minister of Military Aircraft, and one step further, he is Military Aircraft.

However, because of his lack of upright background, Zuo Zongtang was ridiculed by Qingliu headed by Weng Tonghe as an unprecedented husband, who scolded him for his low education and lack of education, and left Zuo Zongtang on the sick bed for life. Knot.

Talk about swearing.

Weng Tonghe is actually number one.

In addition, there is a third enmity with the Hunan Army Department, which is the grievance between Li Hongzhang and Weng Tonghe.

Zeng Guofan is the middle hall, and his disciple Li Hongzhang has also joined the cabinet now and has become a bachelor, which can also be called a middle hall.

Now Li Hongzhang and Hu Linyi are in charge of the southeast part of the line, not only defending the Taiping Army, but also defending the Dongying Islands, and arranging the coastal defense of the Qing court.

One day, Weng Tonghe deliberately went to guard Li Hongzhang, waiting for him on the way back from the court.

At first, Li Hongzhang thought that Weng Tonghe was pleading for his younger brother, and planned to persuade him with a few words. He even wrote a letter to his teacher, Zeng Guofan, to forgive Weng Tong's book. Zhongtang Hefei is thin in the world!Almost broke Li Hongzhang's defense.

……

All these things, new and old grudges, between Weng Tonghe and the Hunan Army is an inextricable mortal feud.

One has to be sent away.

Ma Xinyi's eyes gradually brightened, and he said: "Thank you, Commander-in-Chief, for your guidance. How about the second way?"
