late Qing Dynasty

Chapter 79
Yixin and I looked at each other, and we both pursed our lips and smiled lightly, but didn't dare to make a sound.

When Yixin and I returned to the hall, Seng Geerqin was sitting on a chair and was angry. His face, which was not short before, was now stretched longer.

"My lord, this foreigner has merit, we naturally have to learn from it, if we blindly keep our ways, we will only be bullied more and more." Yixin persuaded earnestly.

Seng Geerqin waved his hand, seeming a little impatient, "This king can only march and fight. You should go and play with these intrigues by yourself."

"This matter can be delayed for a while, but it's still a matter, the prince must help." Yi Xin stood up suddenly, and made a big gift to Seng Geerqin.

"Lao Liu, what are you doing! This king can't afford such a big gift like yours."

Seng Geerqin ran up to Yixin and helped him up.

"My lord, our Qing Dynasty became like this because of opium."

"That's right, foreigners used opium to take away a lot of real money from us."

"That's right, at noon today, I handed over a brochure to the queen mother, which is about smoking ban."

"Smoking should have been banned a long time ago, but, will foreigners agree to our ban?"

"I just proposed to open a smoking cessation center to help those who are addicted to smoking to quit smoking. What does the prince think of this move?"

"Of course it's good, I'm afraid some people will disagree."

"Yeah, after all, many dignitaries have made money from opium now, so we will definitely touch the interests of many people."

"So, you thought of me? I want me to support you?"

"Exactly, the prince shouldn't sit idly by, right?"

"It's a trivial matter, this king will definitely support you in this matter! One day, this king will drive those foreign dogs out."

"Then tomorrow morning, the prince will be in trouble."

Seng Geerqin nodded, pondered for a while, and then asked again, "By the way, Lao Liu, do you know why the Empress Dowager suddenly sent Rong Lu to Anqing?"

"Maybe it was to disturb the sight and hearing of the long-haired army. Now that Zeng Guofan is in Anqing, he has achieved a staged victory. Ronglu is gone, and it is nothing more than to make contributions." Yixin said.

Seng Geerqin sneered contemptuously, "Such a thing is probably only done by Rong Lu."

"The long-haired army is gone now, and it is estimated that they will not be at ease for a few days."

"Yes, but having said that, who is this Zeng Guofan? Why did the Queen Mother suddenly reuse this person?" Zeng Geerqin asked puzzledly. Judging from his tone, he seemed to disagree.

Zeng Guofan is indeed a talented person. I have seen him write "Zeng Guofan's Family Letter".

Lan'er's vision was correct, this person must be worthy of reuse, but many dignitaries believed that Zeng Guofan was a landowner of the Han nationality, and he was not worthy of such a high official position.

"This person has been an official for many years, and he has his own set of methods. As for reuse, it's especially obvious." Yixin replied vaguely.

Hearing what Yixin said, Seng Geerqin nodded slightly, "So that's the case, but he really deserves a commendation for defeating the long-haired army."

"It's indeed commendable." Yi Xin responded, then stood up, and said goodbye to Seng Geerqin, "My lord, it's getting late now, Master Tang and I will go back first."

"Master Tang hasn't spoken much since he came to this king's residence. Why, is there any dissatisfaction?" Seng Geerqin looked at me arrogantly.

It can be seen that he is deliberately finding fault. I really don't know where labor and capital have offended this master.

"In front of the prince, Tang would not dare to make a mistake."

I saw Yixin winking at me, implying that I bear the humiliation.

"That's good. Since Mr. Tang is also the Minister of Military Aircraft of the Military Aircraft Department, he must be very skilled. I will learn from him today."

As Seng Geerqin spoke, his fist was already greeting me.

I am a civil servant, and this is something that is known throughout the court. This Seng Geerqin definitely did it on purpose. He not only wanted to taunt me with his mouth, but also wanted to teach me a lesson with his fists.

To be honest, I really can't think of where I offended him.

I saw his fist approaching in front of me, I pretended to step back and stepped on the flowerpot, and then I fell down. When I fell down, I pulled Seng Geerqin's arm casually.

He tried to break free, but I just couldn't let him go, and in the end, the two of us fell together in the flowers.

"Oh, my lord, are you alright?" I pretended to get up in a panic, and stretched out my hand to pull Seng Geerqin on the ground.

Seng Geerqin snorted coldly, stood up from the ground, ignored my outstretched arm, I shrugged my shoulders indifferently, and patted the dust off my body.

Yixin saw Seng Geerqin's pale face, and hurried out to smooth things over, "My lord, this Mr. Tang is a civil servant, how could he be your opponent."

"Okay, I'm going back to sleep first, and I'll see you tomorrow morning." Seng Geerqin waved his hands shamelessly, turned around and walked towards his bedroom, and said as he walked, "Housekeeper, send me a congratulations for this king." Lord."

When we left Seng Geerqin's house, Yixin was still driving the carriage, and the two of us sat side by side in front of the carriage.

"Zhongzheng, you know kung fu."

Although what Yixin said was a question, I could hear the affirmation in his words.

Now that I've been spotted, I might as well admit it, "I've learned from Mei Shuang twice, but I didn't expect it to come in handy today."

"Mei Shuang is the Empress Dowager's hidden guard, so her skills are naturally good, but Seng Geerqin is the number one fighter in the Qing Dynasty. You can defuse his attack in one move, and it's a good thing that he suffered from being dumb. You are really blue. And better than blue."

"It's just a coincidence." I replied vaguely.

Yixin expressed his disbelief, but I still insisted on my statement, and he didn't say anything more.

"With Seng Geerqin's support, tomorrow should be much smoother." Yi Xin continued.

"Liu Ye, as for the organization we mentioned to destroy opium, have you thought about how to implement it?" I asked Yixin.

Now that Chen Yucheng has arrived in the capital, he knows quite a few people. After all, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom once hit TJ. " Yixin suggested.

"Alright, let's see the effect first and then make a plan."

In fact, I don't have any good solution. Yixin said that starting from Zhili must have its own channels.

Before I finished speaking, a horse galloped over from the opposite side, heading straight for our carriage.
