"That's right!" Li Hongzhang glanced at Hu Linyi, and then told a story about the past: "It is said that when Mr. Lin Zexu died, he still shouted that China's great trouble must be Russia, Hu Xiang, you have to be careful!"

"This is what Your Majesty wants to think, 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 Li Hongzhang's purpose, but Li Hongzhang picked up the teacup. The faint fragrance of tea made the room smell fragrant, but Li Hongzhang also became faintly.

After a while, Li Hongzhang said in a deep tone: "Mr. Runzhi, you are the elder of my teacher and have a close friend of my teacher. I, a younger generation, advise you, you should change from time to time and be more insightful and practice."

Hu Linyi couldn't see the Li Hongzhang in front of him more and more clearly. He also held up the teacup, savored it carefully, and suddenly threw the teacup on the table: "Shaoquan, although I am a few years older than you, I also know that you are extraordinary and respected you, so why did you humiliate me so much."

Li Hongzhang smiled a little, and he also put the teacup gently, got up and left his seat, and gave Hu Linyi a respect: "Mr. Runzhi, this is the heartfelt word! If you don't make any changes, you may be in trouble."

"Nonsense!" Hu Linyi grabbed the teacup tightly, seeing his hands shaking, as if he had exposed the teacup: "I don't want to learn from your teacher, and I shook my head and tail everywhere, completely forgot that I was a Jinshi."

He said in public that Zeng Guofan had become a political doll that Liu Chang and Hongjun were arbitrarily manipulated by Liu Chang and Hongjun, but in essence, Li Hongzhang, who kept talking about the new words. However, Li Hongzhang smiled instead, and he sat down directly with a full sarcasm on his face: "Yes. My teacher is certainly a shame, but what do you say outside now? Your Majesty has said that if you don't study for three days, you won't be able to catch up with Zeng Disheng."

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

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

If there is setback, it means that the long-term attack on the city of Wuchang was unsuccessful, and even defeated Luo Zenan, a general. In addition, there were no difficulties and obstacles in his life, but he was still vigilant enough for this meaningful sentence.

Such a typical new saying can only come from the mouth of the Liu Juehu. The meaning in this sentence is profound. Liu Chang would never say that he is not as good as Zeng Guofan, but that he has some meaning. The most likely one is his cabinet prime minister.

Therefore, Hu Linyi frowned unknowingly, and his eyes flashed: "That's not good. If I regain my skills, it's a grand event for us Hunanese..."

Just as he said that he remembered that the Li Hongzhang in front of him was not from Hunan, but from Anhui. Li Hongzhang had never heard of this flaw. He said seriously: "If my teacher makes a comeback, his ordinary position will not be able to accommodate him, the great god!"

But here, Li Hongzhang was so angry that he threw the teacup into the case. The tea flowed all over the ground. Before Hu Linyi could react, he had already said it like a cannon: "Xiang Hu, Duke Runzhi, the old Prime Minister, I'm worried about you. You have made many achievements in the cabinet. But in this year you only do things but not people. Now, who in the cabinet echoes you, and who is in love with you? Hu Xiang, your current situation seems to be as rich as a brocade, but in fact it is in danger. If someone smashes you a big stone behind your back, who is willing to speak for you!"

Li Hongzhang's words were quickly passed, and Hu Linyi could not react at all. When Hu Linyi really reacted, his forehead was covered in cold sweat: "Shaoquan, I don't want to introduce a clique dispute!"

During this year's Prime Minister, Hu Linyi did make some achievements, but it is an indisputable fact that he is purely a single person in the cabinet. He has a high opinion of himself, and with his tall and rich and handsome background, he naturally does not want to honestly manage his connections, and instead offends a large number of colleagues in the cabinet.

"You have no cliques, and even your subordinates are all in place. You are all given to you by Your Majesty!" Li Hongzhang smashed the table again: "But others don't think so. Now there is no Hu Party, only anti-Hu Party. Otherwise, how could His Majesty's casual words be so widely circulated outside."

If you don’t study for three days, can’t catch up with Zeng Disheng?

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

Li Hongzhang just turned his sleeves and said directly: "Mr. Runzhi, I know you only know how to do things, but now you must be more wise and skillful! You should go and see Your Majesty!"

"His Majesty?"

Hu Linyi certainly knew Li Hongzhang that this so-called "contact" was not a private exchange, but a private visit and heart-to-heart talk between two people. He had several such opportunities, but he had completely missed it because of his pride in the past.

Li Hongzhang's voice became louder and louder, and his hands were pressed on the table: "I know that Hu Xiang has an opinion on His Majesty now, but if you think about it, isn't your Majesty still your Majesty?"

Of course, Hu Linyi had an opinion on Liu Chang, a person who rose in Cao Ye. He privately called Liu Chang the Liu Juehuo, thinking that this was a mountain man from Cao Ye, and it was not worth talking about except for some luck. Not to mention anything else, the title of King Yan before the emperor and the title of Zhenyuan after the emperor was the name of the Emperor, as long as it fell into the eyes of people with a little knowledge, it would be a big laugh.

What's more, Emperor Zhenyuan learned Jin Hailing's lustfulness very well, and what kind of women are there in his harem? It's fine if two big feet women in Guangxi, but there are actually Hong Xiuquan and the generals of the Heavenly Kingdom abandoned their wives and concubines, and even Zhang Lexing's little wife. Such lust is even far more than King Jin Hailing. Sometimes he even thinks of another historical figure, Liang Taizu.

However, Li Hongzhang's words made Hu Linyi suddenly realize. He thought carefully that Liu Chang, the only one who truly supports his work inside and outside the center was Liu Chang.

It was Liu Chang who promoted him to Beijing in Hubei and was promoted to Prime Minister of the Cabinet and to the general affairs of the cabinet. In the early days, the power of the cabinet was minor, big and small, and even financial and administrative power only held an insignificant part. These powers were either controlled by Liu Chang or fell into the hands of the military and the generals. Of course, although Hu Linyi was repeatedly running around, if it were not for Liu Chang's willingness to delegate power, how could the cabinet have the current situation?

Although Liu Chang is vulgar, not proficient in poetry and essays, he fully trusts Hu Linyi. In the past few months, he has transferred dozens of powers to the cabinet. Now the cabinet is thick when it speaks. This is all the kindness of His Majesty.

The more he thought about it, the more cold Hu Linyi sweated. He bowed to Li Hongzhang repeatedly: "Shaoquan teaches me, Shaoquan teaches me, Shaoquan teaches me!"

Li Hongzhang smiled slightly and said sincerely: "Why do you need my guidance from the Prime Minister? The king and his subjects are in harmony? This is a beautiful story since ancient times!"

Hu Linyi already understood: "For the sake of the Russians?"

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

Hu Linyi looked at Li Hongzhang carefully, but felt that Li Hongzhang's eyes were as deep as the sea. Apart from a little sincerity, he could not tell what the purpose was. It was just that he was already a clay Buddha crossing the river: "Okay! I'll go to Jin to meet His Majesty, now at this time..."

Li Hongzhang took over Hu Linyi's words: "Your Majesty should be in the small barracks... The so-called small barracks are the name of a pocket barracks near the palace in Hangzhou. In history, it was the garrison of the Green Camp soldiers. After the Great Xia Dynasty changed, Liu Chang worked simple and did not dare to be too extravagant. Therefore, after a simple reconstruction, this small barracks have become the supreme headquarters of the Great Xia Army.

Therefore, there are only a very small number of soldiers serving here, and most of the rest are extremely outstanding and young officers in the Hong Kong Army. They are often selected from various divisions and brigades, serving here for several months or years and then distributing the troops. At that time, they are the most important chief officers or chiefs of staff of the entire army.

However, Hu Linyi rarely goes to the small barracks. He, the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, is not very popular in the small barracks. The officers clearly know that every time he enters the small barracks, he has to pull away a piece of fat from the military's bowl. Sometimes, the prefectures and counties under the control of the military, and some are special powers originally enjoyed by the military.

But this is the reality that the flowers are helpless. The young officers can only welcome the rare guest with a humming voice: "I have met Hu Xiang!"

Although the cabinet did not have the position of prime minister, it is an indisputable fact that Hu Linyi is the actual prime minister. Zhu Jinlei, who was quickly greeted, rarely smiled: "Secretary Hu, we are very honored to be here!"

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

Zhu Jinlei then saluted: "Your Majesty is here, but..."

“Not very convenient…”

Hu Linyi knew that although Liu Chang was absurd and lustful, he would never miss the official business. Every day, he would definitely deal with military and political affairs at the General Command. Sometimes the instructions given to the cabinet were made here. In fact, most of the decisions were made by Liu Chang, and the cabinet was just an executive body.

Therefore, he did not believe Zhu Jinlei's words and walked in directly: "I want to see Your Majesty!"

He only took two steps, and the tall and big Zhu Jinlei was already blocking his body, and he still repeated the sentence: "Your Majesty is not very convenient!"
