In Qianqing Palace, Xianfeng was reviewing memorials.
Han Laiyu stood beside him with a faint smile on his face, motionless like a sculpture. After a long time, Mr. Xianfeng stretched out his pen and asked: "Han Laiyu, has anything interesting happened recently?"
Han Laiyu said: "Your Majesty, there is really something wrong."
Xianfeng became interested and said, "Come and listen."
Han Laiyu said: "The matter is about Li Zhen. On that day, Li Zhen and Qi Shan came to the palace to meet the emperor. After leaving the palace and returning to the post house, they learned that their general Huang Shihai was seriously injured by a Russian strongman. They were furious. I will challenge the Russian strongman. This matter has spread a lot. From the nobles to the common people, they are all talking about Li Zhen challenging the Russians. But many people are waiting to see the excitement."
Xianfeng nodded and asked: "When will the competition be held?"
Han Laiyu replied: "There are still ten days."
Xianfeng let out a long sigh, frowned and said: "Li Zhenren is a smart man, why did he stupidly compete with the Russians? A barbarian from a barbarian country is so ugly that it is really embarrassing to compete with such a vulgar person. .Do you want to take it back after being bitten by a dog? What a pig's brain."
If Li Zhen were here, he would definitely call Xianfeng a pig-brained person.
They have been beaten to the doorstep of their homes, and they are still dreaming about going to heaven. How stupid they are.
When Han Laiyu heard that Xianfeng had no intention of punishing Li Zhen, he rolled his eyes and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, this Russian strongman is also very hateful. My servants are eager to kick him."
Xianfeng asked: "What's so hateful?"
Han Laiyu replied: "Russian strongmen set up a ring and challenged various martial arts schools. They must win every battle. No one dared to fight against them. What's even more outrageous is that the Russians actually used the banner of 'the best warrior in the world'. A A country of barbarians arrogantly calls itself the best in the world, it is simply arrogant."
After a pause, Han Laiyu said angrily: "Li Zhen took the initiative to challenge the Russian strongman, which can be regarded as saving the emperor's face. I only hope that Li Zhen can show our country's prestige and kill this barbarian."
At this time, the advantage of Li Zhen plugging money came, but it fell on deaf ears of the eunuch.
Xianfeng said: "I remember many years ago there was Yang Luchan who knew Tai Chi and was known as Yang Wudi in the capital. Why didn't he show up this time when the Russians set up a ring?"
Han Laiyu sighed: "Yang Luchan is in his fifties and sixties and can't be beaten."
Xianfeng frowned and said in a deep voice: "Although Li Zhen is fooling around, he is also loyal to the country. He fought against the Russian strongman for our Qing Dynasty. Han Laiyu, go to the posthouse in person and let him fight hard. Fight hard and make this battle a success for me. Well, Li Zhen is loyal to the country and will be rewarded with a yellow mantle."
Han Laiyu raised his eyebrows, "Li Zhen is so lucky!"
After leaving the palace, Han Laiyu took a car and went straight to the post house.
After meeting Li Zhen, the two sides exchanged formalities. Han Laiyu said: "General Li, the emperor is very interested in facing the Russians this time and wants you to defeat the Russians beautifully. We will give you a break, although The emperor did not say what would happen if we were defeated, but if we were defeated, not only would our future be at stake, but also whether we could save our heads would be a question."
After finishing speaking, Han Laiyu gave the yellow mantle to Li Zhen.
After finishing the matter, Li Zhen sent Han Laiyu away and stuffed another six thousand taels of silver notes.
Although Li Zhen was heartbroken, he could only bear the pain and cut his flesh.
Qi Shan and Li Zhen sent Han Laiyu away and returned to the house together. Qi Shan said: "Li Zhen, you sent countless people to create a great momentum. Now the emperor has got the news, and it is already overwhelming. You have put yourself on fire.
If you are roasted, I will be roasted by the fire. If you are defeated, both you and I will be shattered into pieces. We must win."
Li Zhen said loudly: "Don't worry, sir, the general will definitely defeat the Russians."
…
The Mansion of the Ministry of War, the backyard.
In Zhilan's boudoir, the little girl Die'er hurried into the room with a panicked look on her face and a panicked look in her eyes. She shouted loudly: "Miss, this is bad, something serious is going to happen."
Zhilan shouted in a low voice: "Die'er, how can you act in such a panic?"
Die'er said: "Miss, it is already known throughout the city that Mr. Li is going to compete with the Russian strongman."
"ah!"
Zhilan exclaimed, and her rosy cheeks suddenly turned extremely pale. Since breaking up with Li Zhen, Zhilan often thought of the scene where Li Zhen saved her, and she also felt a faint yearning for Li Zhen.
Suddenly I heard that Li Zhen was competing with the Russian strongman, and my heart immediately became nervous.
Die'er didn't give up and continued: "My slave asked people to inquire about the Russian strongman. The Russian was like a hill, his arms were as thick as my slave's head, and his head was like a washbasin. What's even more frightening is that he
We have killed and injured dozens of people, and none of them have been defeated. Mr. Li will definitely be injured if he competes with the Russian strongmen."
Zhilan panicked and said, "I'll go find him immediately and ask him to push me away."
Die'er's head shook like a rattle and said: "Miss, the whole city has already known about the matter. Even the emperor knows about it. Mr. Li can't shirk it."
Zhilan stood up in confusion and said, "I'm looking for Amma. Amma must have an idea."
After finishing speaking, Zhilan hurriedly left the boudoir.
Zhilan came outside Guiliang's study and barged in without any scruples.
Guiliang had nine daughters, and Zhilan was the eighth and the apple of Guiliang's eye. Especially Guiliang's ninth daughter had already married Prince Gong, and only Zhilan remained unmarried. If not for Guiliang
It is impossible for Zhilan to be in her early twenties and not yet married. Seeing Zhilan come in, Guiliang put a smile on his face and asked: "Good girl, what do you want to see Ama for?"
Zhi Lan walked up behind Gui Liang with small steps, patted Gui Liang's back gently, and said softly: "Amma, do you still remember your daughter and Qi Shan's return to Beijing?"
Guiliang stretched and said with a smile: "It feels so comfortable for my daughter to give Ama a back rub!"
Zhilan said angrily: "Amma, my daughter is talking to you about something."
Guiliang said: "Remember, Amma remembers, Qishan saved you to escape the disaster."
Zhilan nodded and said: "Amma, in fact, the person who saved my daughter was Qishan's general Li Zhen. He is about to compete with the Russian strongman and is likely to be injured. Amma, you are the smartest and most powerful, save him
Give it a life."
Qishan asked Gurdu and already knew the situation.
He stared at Zhilan with a smile and asked: "My dear daughter, you don't fall in love with Li Zhen, do you?"
Zhilan punched her twice and said coquettishly: "Amma, what did you say?"
Guiliang coughed a few times and said unhurriedly: "If Amma's good daughter likes her, of course Amma will find a way. If she doesn't like it, she will die and it has nothing to do with me."
Zhilan blushed and said: "Amma, my daughter doesn't know what he thinks. When my daughter told him that she asked Amma to arrange an official position for him in Beijing, he didn't agree. He is simply a stinker. Ah."
Ma, save him once."
Guiliang said with a smile: "It's surprising that there are still people who don't want to be a Beijing official."
"Well, he is."
A flash of strangeness flashed in Zhilan's eyes. Although Li Zhen refused, Zhilan thought that Li Zhen was proud.
An intriguing smile appeared on Guiliang's face. The person who could refuse the official position he arranged was considered to be a bit brave. But Guiliang knew that Li Zhen and Qi Shan had met the emperor, and also found out that Li Zhen had gained the favor of Xianfeng. Such a person
I'm definitely not a person who doesn't know how to adapt, but I can take a test.
Guiliang became anxious when he thought that his daughter had become a grown-up girl but was not interested in her.
It’s rare to have one, and Guiliang doesn’t want to miss it.
Guiliang said: "My good daughter, Amma also wants to help you, but Amma tells you the truth. As far as the current situation is concerned, Li Zhen is already on the cusp of the storm, and it is impossible to refuse the competition. No matter whether Li Zhen wins the fight
, or if we cannot win, we will have to fight the Russians. We can only wait for the results before deciding what to do."
Zhilan said: "If Ama takes action, she will be able to turn danger into good fortune."
Gui Liang smiled bitterly, this matter is really difficult to handle. But if Li Zhen wins, he will be famous in Beijing, his face will be exposed, and his future will be boundless.
