The next morning, three people who had been resting in the inn for a night handed over a famous post to see Zuo Zongtang.

The subordinate places of Liangjiang have always been places that the Qing government attaches great importance to. All the governors were ministers whom the imperial court relied on as pillars. After Zuo Zongtang conquered Xinjiang, he entered the Military Affairs Office. Because of his bad temper, he had no good relationship with the mediocre and inaction ministers in the capital, so he was placed in Liangjiang.

I was about to see Zuo Zongtang. Chen Congyun was waiting in the yard, and his excitement was indescribable. Chen Congyun's admiration for Zuo Zongtang was really endless, like the Yellow River flooding, and it was out of control. In the late Qing Dynasty, the one who could take advantage of external issues was Zuo Zongtang.

"Shen Zigui, you are so brave. After more than a month, you don't know how to come to visit me. A small meeting will be done. Could it be that I will ask me to see you in person?" After the three of them saw him, Zuo Zongtang did not give up his position, and he attacked Chen Congyun as soon as he opened his mouth. This was beyond Chen Congyun's expectations.

Chen Congyun showed a hint of panic, then calmed down, smiled coldly, and bowed to Zuo Zongtang with a arrogant look on his face and said, "Master Zuo, isn't the Xiaguan here? To be honest, if it weren't for the priest's message, the Xiaguan wouldn't have time to come. There is still a lot of things in the bureau, waiting for me to do?"

"Bold, I will confront the officials in the same hall. I see that you are a little official at this time, but I don't want to do it anymore." Zuo Zongtang shouted angrily, showing murderous intent. The two Goshhas behind him also stood up and shouted, "Bold, don't kneel down yet."

Although Shao Youlian and others hoped that Chen Congyun and Zuo Zongtang would do it, they could not do it like this. Isn’t this an excuse for Zuo Zongtang to deal with Chen Congyun? If Zuo Zongtang took the opportunity to take down Chen Congyun, there would be no way to explain to Li Hongzhang. However, both of them were afraid of Zuo Zongtang’s official power and did not dare to come forward to help speak, so they could only do it while they were anxious.

Chen Congyun sneered again, reached out and took off the top of his head, and said lightly: "I can only do things, not be an official. If you can do this job, you can just take it away."

"You can only do things, but you can't be an official." This is Zuo Zongtang's creed that he always boasts in his heart. He never thought that he would be borrowed by Chen Congyun at this time.

"Random!" Zuo Zongtang was speechless and looked angry. He stood up and left, leaving the three people in front of the hall looking at each other, but it was difficult to discuss countermeasures here. Shao Youlian and Nie Hui were so anxious that they were sweating on their heads. Chen Congyun knew history well and knew Zuo Zongtang's character. He expected that this man would not go to his heart, and he looked calm.

In the inner hall, as soon as Zuo Zongtang entered the door, Hu Xueyan hurriedly came up and asked, "Sir, how about it?"

The two agreed last night and used the matter that Chen Congyun could not meet in time to make a fuss. They killed Chen Congyun's aura. They never thought that Chen Congyun said, "You can only do things, but you can't be an official." After returning, he even took off the throne himself. How could such a person, with Zuo Zongtang's nature, do you do it?

"Oh! Li Guizi is so lucky. I'm not as good as I'm getting Xueyan." Zuo Zongtang sighed, and Hu Xueyan was also stunned. Zuo Zongtang said something about the matter in the hall. Hu Xueyan couldn't help but smile bitterly: "When Guangyong first met the lord in Hangzhou, it seemed that he said that. Could it be that Shen Zigui was present at the time?"

How could Hu Xueyan know that after Zuo Zongtang's death, the relevant remarks and deeds were sorted out and published. Gao Yang, a later author, made a big article about Hu Xueyan and earned enough royalties. This paragraph was borrowed by Chen Congyun Cong's book very bluntly.

The three of them waited in the outer hall for half an hour. Without Zuo Zongtang's message, they wanted to leave but didn't dare to leave, so they could only stand with big eyes.

Finally, someone from the inner hall passed by a message: "The Governor is ill, I will see you tomorrow."

The three of them were as if they had been pardoned and were about to leave together, but they never thought that someone inside shouted: "Shen Zigui stays for a while, so I have something to ask for."

The person who speaks is extraordinary and has a smile that makes people feel intimate when they see it.

Shao Youlian and Nie Huiban were both stunned, and they both winked at Chen Congyun and signaled that Chen Congyun must suppress his anger and stop confronting Zuo Zongtang. Then they left in disappointment.

"Hu Guangyong is here!" After the visitor waited for Shao and Nie, he smiled and bowed his fists and said.

Damn, God of Wealth, I'm alive now.

"Shen Congyun!"

Following Hu Xueyan into the inner hall, Zuo Zongtang was sitting inside and waiting. This time, Chen Congyun accelerated his pace, quickly walked into the inner hall, and shouted: "Chen Congyun pays homage to the Governor." In his words, there was less arrogance and more arrogance, and at the same time, Zuo Zongtang felt that this admiration was from the heart.

"Okay, Shen Zigui, you are arrogant at first and respectful at the same time. Could it be that you are really afraid of losing your head?" Zuo Zongtang did not appreciate it, but instead sarcastically sarcastically.

Chen Congyun smiled calmly and said, "Sir, underestimate Congyun. The governor of Ganzhou and Shaanxi will regain Xinjiang and establish a reputation for the past thousand years. Congyun's respect for the adults comes from within. At the same time, there is another thing to say to the adults."

Plowing the Xinjiang Rebellion was a merit that Zuo Zongtang had always been proud of. When Chen Congyun mentioned this, even Zuo Zongtang couldn't help but show his expression and smiled slightly.

"Is there something to say? OK! You, Shen Zigui, failed to make a promise from Li Shaoquan, and got hit. At worst, I didn't like what I said today, so I would do the same thing and give you some things." Zuo Zongtang smiled and gently strapped his beard with one hand.

Chen Congyun didn't expect that even Zuo Zongtang knew about this. It seemed that there was no airtight wall in the world.

"Hmph! In this way, the Lord and Li Zhongtang's thoughts are consistent, so I can avoid saying more. Say goodbye!" After that, Chen Congyun waved his sleeves and was about to leave.

"Rare!" Zuo Zongtang slapped the table and stood up, then shouted angrily: "Sit down for me."

Chen Congyun, who was facing away from Zuo Zongtang, smiled secretly, continued to show a stubborn expression with a cold face, and angrily moved a chair and sat down.

"Okay, Shen Zigui, Li Shaoquan scolds you for being crazy and will not be wronged at all. In my inner hall, in front of me, you dare to be so arrogant. Do you believe it or not, which will make people chop your head? I believe that the court will not pursue the crime of killing me."

Chen Congyun knew in his heart that Zuo Zongtang would not do anything to him, so he no longer irritated Zuo Zongtang in words, but just sat there without saying anything, and did not look at Zuo Zongtang with his eyes.

"Oh! Shen Zigui, Shen Zigui, Li Shaoquan is afraid of foreigners. I, Zuo Zongtang, was afraid of foreigners in time? You kid, your eyes are soaked." The butt is also the butt, Zuo Zongtang is not losing his true nature. Speaking like this is like someone saying "fuck" and saying "his mother".

Chen Congyun still didn't say anything, Zuo Zongtang snorted, "Come on, come on tea!"

After the maid brought the tea, Zuo Zongtang's face improved and he said in a deep voice: "What do you want to say today? I only have a pair of ears. It's fine if you say it well, but it's bad, hum!" Zuo Zongtang threatened people, with murderous intent. He was worthy of being a Confucian general who had been leading troops for many years and rolled out of his blood and fire.

Chen Congyun laughed secretly in his heart, and looked unhappy on the surface, bowed and shouted: "This is what I am talking nonsense." After that, Chen Congyun's argument on Li Hongzhang was repeated again. This time, he focused on the matter of the Fuzhou Navy and repeatedly reiterated that the French fleet would definitely attack the Fuzhou Navy and hoped that Zuo Zongtang would write to the court to take precautions as soon as possible.

"Li Shaoquan, Li Shaoquan, you have been in vain for many years. You are not as good as a young man who has returned from overseas." After hearing Chen Congyun's words, Zuo Zongtang couldn't help but sigh. Since the French again provoked, Zuo Zongtang has clearly advocated starting a war. I don't know how many memorials have been held, but Cixi has control over the two palaces. Cixi trusts Li Hongzhang and does not want to start a war with the French, let alone Li Hongzhang has always advocated that Britain and the United States have not been far from mediating peace. Zuo Zongtang's memorials are like stones sinking to the sea.

Now the French have notified the Qing government again, demanding compensation of 250 million francs, otherwise they would have to speak with warships and cannons. Zuo Zongtang had not slept for several days because of this.

Zuo Zongtang became more and more angry as he spoke. He couldn't help but coughed excitedly. Hu Xueyan, who had been waiting outside the door, hurried in and said, "Sir! Do you want to pass on the doctor?"

"It's okay, it's an old problem. When you get older, you feel comfortable without a single part of your body." Zuo Zongtang waved his hand and said it's okay.

"Shen Zigui, since Fayi once again provoked the war, I have submitted several letters to ask for battle, but they have been suppressed by the court. I am old and have not had much time to live. It will depend on your young people in the future."

Zuo Zongtang said something vicissitudes and helplessness in his tone. Chen Congyun couldn't help but feel sour in his heart. What a respectable old man. After signing the "China-French Conference Contracting Vietnam Treaty", he cursed: "For China, ten French generals are not as good as a bad thing for Li Hongzhang." Even at the last moment of his life, he stood on the coast of Fuzhou and shouted "crossing the sea and killing pirates", and eventually died at the imperial envoy of Huanghua Pavilion, North Gate of Fuzhou.
