Xuan Hongtao was actually a little guilty when he was staring at Xuan Yuemeng's eyes. He was moved and did not dare to go. Although his old man was also a third-rank official, the biggest officials he had ever met were his old man and Chonghou. Chonghou had a good appearance and was very arrogant. Moreover, he and the governor of Zhili Li Hongzhang had never even met him. Don't make a great contribution later and be beaten first. Please read the book Wｗ∮ﷷΩ.

It is important to know that the Marquis’s Gate is as deep as the sea!

Xuan Hongtao stared at Xuan Yuemeng in a daze, and looked around everywhere, his eyes drifting, just not saying anything.

Xuan Yuemeng sighed secretly, Damn, I am not afraid of people for several months. You are afraid of being in your thirties. "Whether you go or not, give me a happy word! You will be gambled for this big thing in your life. Do you dare?"

The word gambling inspired Xuan Hongtao, "Do you understand the foreign language? What this is really about the French war? Don't commit a serious crime at that time. Also, why don't you just call the old man directly? It's much easier for him to see the governor than me."

Xuan Yuemeng gave Xuan Hongtao a blank look, "He is easy to make great contributions, yes, Xuan Zonglu is easier to make such contributions than you, but if he makes great contributions, he will not even have anything to do with you! When he becomes an official, he will be rewarded with Xuan Hongbo! It has nothing to do with me! Do you dare to go? Give me a good word."

Xuan Yuemeng's thoughts were clear and persuasive. Every sentence hit the soft spot in Xuan Hongtao's heart. Suddenly, he felt that Xuan Yuemeng, who was a big ghost in front of him, was like a monster reincarnation. However, even if this child was a monster, it was my child. He was aiming at my monster. He made up his mind suddenly, gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, picked up Xuan Yuemeng and handed it to Dazhi, "Go and go! Just take this bet!"

Xuan Yuemeng is sweating profusely. Judging from Xuan Hongtao’s meaning, are you not going to report the news, are you going to fight the Japanese on the battlefield?

Dazhi also found it funny, and it was rare to see Xuan Hongtao being so decisive.

The three of them took advantage of the night to the Sankou Trade Minister's Office. This place was originally Chonghou's office, but after the Tianjin lesson plan was released, Chonghou went to Beijing and never came back. Now he has become Li Hongzhang's headquarters.

When he arrived at the Sankou Trade Minister's Office, Xuan Hongtao became scared again, "Otherwise, you'd better let your grandpa go."

Xuan Yuemeng Khan signaled Xuan Dazhi to hold him over and whisper to the head of the personal soldiers guarding the gate: "Tell us quickly. My father is Xuan Hongtao, the manager of Tianjin Machinery Manufacturing Bureau. We have important secrets about the negotiations against France. We need to inform Li Zhongtang!"

The leader of the personal soldier was also shocked by Xuan Yuemeng. He looked like a child under one year old. How could he be so stylish? And a little kid spoke so clearly? He looked at Xuan Hongtao standing under the steps. He was a man who saw Xuan Hongtao's timid look and clothing. He knew that Xuan Hongtao was not an official, but a manager of a manufacturing bureau? What a thing? I am an official at all. You are a nonsense. Do you dare to go to the Governor's headquarters to ask for a meeting with the Governor? "While going, you are such a small child who doesn't understand the rules. Can the Zhongtang meet as soon as you want? The child does not understand the rules, and do the adults also know the rules? The men who want to meet the Central Government will go to the yamen to find the sergeant tomorrow to explain the reason, wait to listen to the trust, and then wait to arrange for the meeting."

Xuan Yuemeng sneered, "We can wait until tomorrow, but I'm afraid Li Zhongtang can't wait until tomorrow. Didn't you hear that it was an important secret about the French? You don't know what happened to the French? The foreign devils with cannon warships are going to razed Tianjin City to the ground! It's urgent. Tomorrow, if you delay the major affairs of the court, your whole family's head will not be convicted. Not to mention you, I'm afraid even Li Zhongtang himself will not be able to bear the crime!"

In fact, Xuan Yuemeng himself knew it was not easy to see Li Hongzhang. This was a central-level official. If he was in the future, it would be not easy to see a central-level official! Not to mention a county magistrate, it was not easy to see a principal! The biggest official that Xuan Yuemeng had ever met in his previous life was the director of the teaching department in the university. It was because he was holding and kissing a female classmate in the playground at night and was caught by the student union.

Sure enough, the leader of the personal soldier was amused by Xuan Yuemeng, "Oh, you are a turtle and a little bitch! If you don't retreat, you will lock you up for the serious crime of disturbing the Governor's Office."

Xuan Hongtao was startled and was about to go up and take Xuan Yuemeng away. Xuan Yuemeng was not scared by this soldier. Before Xuan Hongtao stepped forward, he continued, "Sir, I didn't mean to make things difficult for you. It's really urgent. To be honest, my grandfather is Zhang Jingxuan Zonglu, the general manager of the three trade ministers' yamen. I used to go in and out of this yamen countless times a day. We are all people of the Qing Dynasty. When the national crisis is approaching, we should do our best for the country regardless of personal gains and losses. I think you are blessed and loyal. You must be a good adult for the country and the people. Please tell me that if you don't succeed, you have nothing to do with the yamen. If things are really urgent, naturally someone will let us in. When you meet Li Zhongtang, my father will never forget to tell the Lord Zhongtang that you are loyal and loyal when you are on duty."

The leader of the personal soldier was slightly moved by Xuan Yuemeng. In fact, it has nothing to do with him. He originally wanted to kill the person away with the attitude of being less than more. After being lobbyed from various angles, Xuan Yuemeng smiled and said, "You little kids are all sets of things. Promise, you don't know the importance of it, don't blame me for not reminding you, the adults in the yamen have all the tempers of me, so you can wait!"

Xuan Yuemeng was very happy when she saw this man willing to go public. The fat man raised his paw and said, "Thank you, sir. Please read the book W ∫ ｗ ∫ ＷＷ．ＱingＫanＳhu．cＣ"

The man was not afraid that what Xuan Yuemeng said was urgent. Whether the matter was urgent or not was his business. The person was mainly because Xuan Yuemeng spoke one from the left and the right, and he was happy. Otherwise, he would not have a single document for the communication fee. Who would be willing to run around?

Xuan Yuemeng is not bad luck. Li Hongzhang is discussing negotiations with the French with his close aide Sheng Xuanhuai. Zeng Guofan did not get a good end and his life is not easy. The negotiations with the French over the past few days have made Li Hongzhang worried.

"The central government, the court's intention is to pay up to 400,000 taels, but the French have to pay one million taels. And they have to immediately rectify the officials in Tianjin. They are so arrogant. They can simply follow the Qingliu people's wishes and the talks are broken! Master, you are not pleased with each other. This errand is really a hot potato." Sheng Xuanhuai is smart and capable, and is Li Hongzhang's confidant aide. Li Hongzhang's foreign affairs and most of his business affairs are handled by Sheng Xuanhuai.

Li Hongzhang had already washed his feet, and the servant was rubbing his feet and putting socks on his feet. Li Hongzhang took care of his head, "Xingsun, why do I want to talk to the French? The conversation collapsed can only cause the creatures to suffer. Have you not seen it all the way? French warships have gathered around the mouth and are ready to start a war against me at any time! Have we ever fired other people's foreign guns and cannons? We must not act irritated by Western affairs. I heard that French minister Luo Shuya had already expressed his intention to let go. I plan to talk to him about compensation of 500,000 taels and try to protect the officials in Tianjin as much as possible. As long as they are exempt from the death penalty first, they will be safeguarded one by one in the future, and then they will go through the motions. I believe the court can agree to this condition. If the French are given the excuse of starting a war in my hands, we will become sinners forever. The great powers should not be bullied."

Sheng Xuanhuai nodded, "Yes, it is unlikely that compensation of 400,000 taels is always possible. Old Prime Minister Zeng came up to pay 460,000 taels from all countries other than France. France suffered the biggest loss in this lesson plan, and he would never agree to be lower than this number."

Li Hongzhang sighed and closed his eyes. He wanted to think about the negotiations with the French consul tomorrow. This tug-of-war made him very troubled.

The staff under Sheng Xuanhuai had been circulated by the officials. The low-level staff reported to the middle-level staff again, and then went to see Xuan Yuemeng and the other three outside the gate. The middle-level staff brought a newspaper given by Xuan Yuemeng and looked outside the gate. Seeing that Sheng Xuanhuai was talking to the master of the central hall, he did not dare to disturb him.

This middle-level aide felt that it was important, and found out that Xuan Hongtao was indeed the manager of the Tianjin Machinery Manufacturing Bureau, so he did not dare to delay and came straight outside Li Hongzhang's dormitory.

The reason why the aide dared to come so late was, on the one hand, because Li Hongzhang was not very arrogant and was very tolerant of his subordinates. On the other hand, Xuan Yuemeng was very polite. Although he was spoken from a child, it was very convincing. Moreover, this foreign newspaper also increased the weight of Xuan Yuemeng's speech.

Sheng Xuanhuai saw his subordinates and saw Li Hongzhang closing his eyes and thinking about things, he quietly came out, "What's the matter?"

The aide handed the newspaper to Sheng Xuanhuai, "Sir, this was brought by a father and son outside the gate who wanted to see the prime minister. They said they had important information about the French, and they were negotiated on the Tianjin lesson plan, and they wanted to see the prime minister."

Sheng Xuanhuai frowned and took the newspaper and looked at it, "It's all foreign language? What's it written? Did you work as a servant the day before? When did it be? The prime minister said he would meet him at any time? Who do they think they are? Go down!"

The staff member didn't know how to answer, and was about to step down, but Sheng Xuanhuai stopped him, "Does the person who came have an official position?"

Aide: "He is the manager of Tianjin Machinery Manufacturing Bureau and has no official position."

Sheng Xuanhuai smiled, "I want to be crazy if I want to flatter you? A person without an official also wants to see the prime minister? Go back to them!"

Li Hongzhang heard the movement outside, "Xingsun, what's the matter?"

Seeing that the Zhongtang was alarmed, Sheng Xuanhuai had to briefly say what the staff said to him, "Prince, there are often people like this. How much do they know about foreigners? They are all people who want to make contributions and become crazy."

Li Hongzhang took the newspaper and read it, "People from Tianjin Machinery Manufacturing Bureau can use foreign newspapers, at least they recognize foreign literature. Such people are always considered rare talents in my Qing Dynasty. Let them come in."

Xuan Yuemeng, Xuan Hongtao and Xuan Dazhi have been waiting outside the gate for a long time. Xuan Hongtao regrets it and wants to leave several times.

"Forget it, if you don't see me, just don't see me." Xuan Hongtao picked up Xuan Yuemeng.

Xuan Yuemeng: "I don't care, but I have reported your name to others just now. If you don't wait, if Lord Li really wants to see you and you run away again, you will be the sin of deliberately playing with the central hall."

Xuan Hongtao was startled by Xuan Yuemeng, then put Xuan Yuemeng down, and stomped his feet repeatedly, "This time I was really killed by you! I am really confused, why would I listen to you, a little brat who has just been weaned? You have caused me to suffer! You, you! You have caused the whole family to suffer!"

Xuan Hongtao anxiously flipped his right hand and kept looking in, hoping that someone would come out and afraid that someone would come out. When he suddenly saw the staff member just now walked out from inside, he was so shocked that he wanted to run back. Thinking that he might see Li Hongzhang as powerful and famous, he felt a little difficult to breathe. Please read the book W ｗ Ω Ｗ Ω ．

The staff came out and said to Xuan Hongtao: "Come with me, just come in alone."

In fact, Xuan Yuemeng is not interested in whether he can meet Li Hongzhang, or for him who is only eight months old, it is the same if he doesn't meet him. He can't be an official anyway. Xuan Yuemeng mainly wants to give Xuan Hongtao a chance to change his current situation of adversity.

Xuan Hongtao looked at Xuan Yuemeng and suddenly felt that without Xuan Yuemeng there was no sense of security at all. He said a little embarrassedly: "Sir, these are all seen by children, he may have said it more clearly."

Although the aide was surprised that Xuan Yuemeng, a child who was so young, could speak so well, he did not expect that among the father and son, this little boy was the backbone and looked down on the father quite seriously. He even regretted going in and spreading it to them. He thought that this cringing man with alcohol smell was unreliable, "Then come in together, understand the rules, don't talk nonsense in front of the prime minister."

Xuan Hongtao hurriedly carried Xuan Yuemeng over from Xuan Dazhi's hand, "Thank you, sir, I understand the rules, I will never dare to say anything in front of the prime minister."

At this moment, Xuan Hongtao's wine had been awakened by scare, his eyes were filled with bloodshot, and his whole body was extremely excited, almost like an owl.

In this way, Xuan Yuemeng didn't expect that he would meet the famous Li Hongzhang in history shortly after he was reborn. Of course, he was quite excited. He didn't know much about Li Hongzhang, but this name was very familiar. Xuan Yuemeng knew that the last thirty years of the late Qing Dynasty were the history of Li Hongzhang and Cixi.

Xuan Hongtao followed the staff all the way in, holding Xuan Yuemeng's hand trembled a little. I don't know if it was because of nervousness or hunger. After all, for a long time, the big house could only have a meal of porridge a day, but because his wife was afraid that he would go out to gamble, so when he took the most recent monthly salary and silver deposits home, he immediately replaced them all with food. Now that the food is used up, the family is already living by pawning.

Xuan Yuemeng calmed down instead. Whether it was Li Hongzhang or Cixi, he had no big feelings for him. It seemed that he had not fully integrated into his current life. If he had met a secretary of the prefectural committee in modern times, Xuan Yuemeng might have been a little more excited than now. He still had no clear concept of how much power and reputation Li Hongzhang had until this moment.

Li Hongzhang was only forty-eight or nine years old at this time, and his beards were still black. The impression was much different from the one Xuan Yuemeng saw on TV that Li Hongzhang was a white and thin old man in his sixties or seventies. Moreover, Li Hongzhang was quite rich, with big ears and red faces, but a little haggard. Li Hongzhang actually summoned their father and son at night. Just this, Li Hongzhang's impression in Xuan Yuemeng's heart was already a big plus!

Li Hongzhang's voice was very lively, with a small volume, but very calm, all on the same scale, and he was slow: "What's the matter with this hall?"

Li Hongzhang was just a few simple words, and an extremely powerful official power rushed towards him. Xuan Yuemeng finally understood what a first-rank official is called and what a powerful person is called without anger. This style is tsk.

Xuan Yuemeng stared at his black eyes and looked at Li Hongzhang carefully.

Xuan Hongtao put Xuan Yuemeng on the ground, performed the etiquette of a scholar for Li Hongzhang, swallowed his saliva, but he didn't make any sound, and coughed in his throat, "If you go back to the middle hall... hiccup..."

After Xuan Hongtao said these five words, he couldn't remember what to say, and he even burped!

Damn, Xuan Yuemeng almost got angry. It’s really a dog meat that can’t be on the banquet. Can you have some excitement? Where is this? Are you hiccup here? Are you so nervous?

Xuan Yuemeng couldn't help it and continued, "Hello, Lord Zhongtang, my father learned that Lord Zhongtang was negotiating with the French for the Tianjin lesson plan and was worried about state affairs, so he paid more attention to France's movements. He collected some information about the French in the concession and thought it might be useful for Lord Zhongtang's negotiations, so he rushed to Lord Zhongtang."

Li Hongzhang nodded, obviously very curious that Yu Xuan Yuemeng could express it so clearly. He was a little strange about the adult who actually brought a child to see him. He couldn't help but squint his eyes and smiled, and said to Xuan Yuemeng: "Then can your father have foreign writing?"

Xuan Yuemeng glanced at Xuan Hongtao. Mr. Xuan Hongtao was so scared that he was slightly slapped, as if he was about to be unable to stand firmly.

Xuan Yuemeng nodded at Li Hongzhang and replied loudly: "My father saw the Lord Zhongtang a little nervous. He knows a little foreign article, and I also knows a little foreign article. My father taught me about my foreign article."

Xuan Hongtao was shocked, I know bullshit foreign language? You are a little brat, do you know bullshit foreign language? Is this a place to brag? You and your second uncle are really from the same family! Is this hereditary?

Xuan Hongtao didn't know whether Li Hongzhang understood foreign languages ​​or not, for fear that Li Hongzhang would suddenly use foreign languages ​​to talk to his father and son in a few words, and he complained secretly.

Li Hongzhang heard what Xuan Yuemeng said and actually looked like a little adult. Although the content was normal, he thought that he was talking to a child of such a big one, and found it interesting. He waved to Xuan Yuemeng and signaled Xuan Yuemeng to go to his side. When Xuan Yuemeng staggered over, he held Xuan Yuemeng's fat claws, "Then can you tell me what is the French content in your newspaper?"

Xuan Yuemeng said oh, took out four pieces of paper from the small doll in her arms, and put them together with the one beside Li Hongzhang, and explained: "Please read by Lord Zhongtang. These two are newspapers. One is a British newspaper and the other is an American newspaper. In this place, there are articles from the French, saying that France is fighting a great war with Prussia, and the British newspapers clearly point out that the French are at a disadvantage now."

Xuan Yuemeng pointed at her finger and said without hesitation, "You bring a pen and I will circle it for you. This is the sentence that says the disadvantage of the French war. These two articles are here."

Sheng Xuanhuai hurriedly took Xuan Yuemeng's brush that had been dipped ink from the table next to him, and Xuan Yuemeng drew all the places he had just talked about.

Seeing that Li Hongzhang was enjoying his relish, Xuan Yuemeng continued: "These three articles are notes used by foreign merchants. They all mention the Franc war. Merchants are the most sensitive to war. If the country is strong, the francs will increase their value and the country declines. These three articles mention the depreciation of the francs, and they all believe that the francs will continue to depreciate greatly in recent years! These fully demonstrate that this Franc war will shake the French's hegemony in Europe and even the whole world. It is impossible for France to fight against us in the Qing Dynasty in the past five years. If I estimate correctly, all the French warships outside Tianjin should have quietly evacuated a month ago. Zhongtang knew this information and could have the initiative when negotiating with the French."

Xuan Yuemeng was happy and simply said everything he thought about, too lazy to care about whether to hide some strength. Although he was very tired of the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty now represents China, and he still has patriotic enthusiasm. Of course, he does not want the country's money to keep flowing to Western imperialism in a confused way.

Li Hongzhang looked at Xuan Yuemeng as if he was looking at a baby. He was already shocked by the little guy in front of him. Is this still a child? He is simply a monster? He was shocked for a while and couldn't help but look at Xuan Hongtao, "Is this your son? How old is he? Are he right?"

Xuan Hongtao's attention was on Li Hongzhang. When he saw Zhongtang asking himself, he nodded quickly, and nodded so mechanized, like a robot. Xuan Hongtao said nothing, and swallowed his saliva again, and said, "Yes, Zhongtang... Sir, the dog son is eight months old, and the dog son is talking about what I want to say."

Li Hongzhang sucked his hands and laughed, "Xingsun, who said that I was short of talents in the Qing Dynasty? An eight-month-old child has such wisdom and talent, a genius! OK, OK, OK!"

Li Hongzhang said three good words in a row, and Sheng Xuanhuai also poured a cup of tea for Xuan Yuemeng himself, "Child, I've talked for a long time, drink some water, the prime minister praises you."

Xuan Yuemeng smiled cutely, took a sip of water, and lay on Li Hongzhang's lap.

The task was completed. Regardless of whether it was successful or not, or whether it was the ending, Xuan Yuemeng suddenly felt relaxed and suddenly felt very tired. After all, he was just an eight-month-old villain and had some workload today.

Xuan Hongtao was about to stop him, but Li Hongzhang smiled and picked up Xuan Yuemeng, "One of my little daughters is three or four years older than this child, and I still can't say the complete words. What's your child's name?"

Xuan Hongtao quickly replied: "If you go back to the middle hall, this child is called Xuan Yuemeng, and his name is Yutang."

Li Hongzhang repeated Xuan Yuemeng's name and words, pinched Xuan Yuemeng's fat claws, and covered Xuan Yuemeng's chubby face with both hands, "Yutang, Xuan Yuemeng, Xuan Yutang, okay, good name, are you working in the Tianjin Machinery Manufacturing Bureau? What kind of rank? "

Xuan Hongtao: "If you go back to the central hall, the villain is working as a job in the Tianjin Machinery Manufacturing Bureau, and he is an ordinary manager in the accounting room, and he has no official position."

Li Hongzhang nodded, "Mr. Chonghou has returned to Beijing. I heard that the Tianjin Machinery Manufacturing Bureau has been stopped for a while, and I don't even care about the matter on the other side. In this way, you come to this Lord Sheng Xuanhuai tomorrow. You can help Master Sheng to get the Tianjin Machinery Manufacturing Bureau back on, okay?"

Xuan Hongtao was overjoyed. He was not stupid. Although Li Zhongtang had not promised anything, this was enough for him. At least two points. First, even if Lord Li knew him now and sent him an errand, he would be Lord Li's member from now on! Then their big house should be safe. Even if his father was not completely out of danger, his own room should be considered safe. Second, Lord Li asked Lord Sheng to take charge of the Tianjin Machinery Manufacturing Bureau first, so he would definitely have a major change. By then, he would be considered an elder. Once the emperor is the emperor and the minister, the opportunity really comes! Xuan Hongtao hurriedly thanked him.

Li Hongzhang has a good impression of Xuan Hongtao. Although Xuan Hongtao doesn't say much and his image is a little bad, his words are quite appropriate. The most important thing is that his son is so genius. I shouldn't be too different, right?

Li Hongzhang believed that Xuan Hongtao was a talented person, and most talented people were ungrateful. These details further deepened Li Hongzhang's impression of Xuan Hongtao being talented.
