After fighting against the foreign powers on the battlefield for a long time, he was unable to change the situation of the foreign powers renting Shanghai. He stepped into the concession and taught the arrogant foreign devils a lesson, so that the bullying of the Chinese in the concession would not happen wantonly.
Stabilize the Northwest, defeat Russia, and garrison there for several years. The Russians did not dare to step into Xin (Jiang) again. They set up a navy attached to the Westernization with the intention of strengthening the army.
It was precisely because he had fought for half his life that he had been left with too many illnesses. After returning from the northwest, he had been busy trading with the governors of the two rivers, causing his illness to worsen. Then, he strongly advocated for resistance to the law. In the end, under the circumstances where the army had won one victory after another, the imperial court used victory to sue for peace. He was so angry that he vomited blood and died.
Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang were both great talents. One was better at military affairs and was a marshal, while the other was better at diplomacy. They both worked for the country, but their level and character were not on the same level.
"Minister Zuo, please get up and recuperate. Come to the Military and Political Affairs Office after noon. I will keep the position of Minister of War for you. However, you don't have to take up the post. We'll know in half a year!" Li Ye helped Zuo Zongtang up and walked towards the harem without looking at anyone else…
The hall was completely silent. They seemed to have already sensed that an emperor would rise from the Forbidden City…
What could Tang Zong and Han Wu do in such a situation? The few of them couldn't help but think.
Li Hongzhang's palanquin circled around Xuande Gate and finally stopped in front of a majestic mansion. The plaque hanging on the gate had the words "Gong Prince's Mansion" written on it.
That's right, after going around for a long time, they still came to the Gong Prince's residence. Even if they slept until they knew that Li Hongzhang was half a disciple of the Gong Prince, they couldn't return to the Prince's residence from the Forbidden City together.
Secretly forming a party was a basic respect for the imperial power.
When the gatekeeper saw that it was Li Hongzhang, he led him to the backyard without even informing him. Only when he was about to reach the backyard would he shout.
"Lord Li requests an audience!"
Although the Imperial Residence occupied a large area, with waterside pavilions, halls, and corridors, Li Hongzhang had never felt tired before. He often enjoyed the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan with great interest.
However, he had a lot on his mind today, and he actually felt a little dizzy.
The few of them walked into the back garden. This time, Yi Xin was not playing chess. Instead, he was sitting there drinking tea. He was really tasting tea and not putting on airs. Yi Xin was a rare all-rounder who was both literary and martial. He was also the only royal figure in the late Qing Dynasty who could be brought out. However, that position did not fall into his hands in the end.
"Wangye, this lowly official just happened to find some new and interesting items here and specially invited wangye to take a look.”Li Hongzhang waved his hand and brought over a few brocade boxes.
There were naturally no gold, silver, or jewelry inside. It was just ordinary things. He had to find an excuse to come, even if it was completely unrelated to his purpose.
"Alright, alright. Since you're here, so be it.”
Yi Xin wiped his hands with a hot towel handed over by the maidservant, and the few of them replaced the tea with fruits and vegetables.
"Sixth Master, this lowly official only got to where I am today because of your guidance.”Li Hongzhang poured a glass of wine for Yixin Island and then filled it up for himself.
"The Westerners have some good things that we should learn, but there are some things that are far inferior to our Qing Dynasty. When I lived in Great Britain, it was like living in a shack.”
Yi Xin picked up the wine glass and downed it in one gulp. He did not know what those foreigners were thinking. They only had a few edible things. The wine was not bad, but it was too light and not mellow enough. It did not seem like a man's drink.
Li Hongzhang nodded and said nothing.
"Tell me, why are you looking for me? You, as the chief officer, wouldn't come and tell me all this nonsense, right? "Yi Xin looked at Li Hongzhang with a faint smile, as if he had seen through his feelings.
Now that the tide is like this, what does your highness think? "Li Hongzhang suddenly cupped his fists and said.
"The emperor's literary talent and military strategy are the blessing of the Qing Dynasty.”Yi Xin glanced at Li Hongzhang and said indifferently. The ambulance in his hands had indeed not stopped.
" Then why does Your Highness only go to the Military and Political Affairs Office once a day and not participate in government affairs? It's a blessing to have such a rejuvenated ruler…" Li Hongzhang couldn't help but be surprised. Suddenly, a bad thought flashed through his mind.
"Alright! I don't mean to belittle the emperor, but it may not be my blessing to be the emperor of the revival!“
Yi Xin sighed expressionlessly, his heart filled with mixed feelings.
Li Hongzhang was even more stunned when he heard this. For a moment, he was speechless. Suddenly, he seemed to understand something.
To be honest, wangye, this lowly official wants to do something for the emperor. "Li Hongzhang cupped his hands and gritted his teeth.
If he didn't work hard, there would be no hope for this country. Li Hongzhang also wanted to be a famous official of the Zhongxing Group. He didn't want to be reviled by tens of thousands of people.
Yi Xin nodded his head in approval,"I'm afraid that this whole place is going to turn into a river of blood!"”
He could already tell that Li Ye wasn't going to simply change the rules. It would definitely affect the interests of too many people, and the ones who would be affected were those who had conquered the world…
