Luo Zenan smiled proudly and nodded repeatedly, looking very satisfied with what Hu Linyi said just now.

Liu Rong looked embarrassed. Luo Zenan was his mentor. Now Hu Linyi calls them both teachers at the same time, which makes him very uncomfortable. He feels that Hu Linyi is too pleased and must have other thoughts. He has become more cautious in his heart for no reason.

Hu Linyi heard that Li Xubin's family was not wealthy and that his mother was not taken care of by anyone at home, so he personally sent someone to take it to his home and asked his wife to take the 50-year-old lady as her mother to take care of her.

This made Li Xubin, Liu Rong and others suspicious, quite suspicious of Hu Linyi's intentions, and wrote letters to Zeng Guofan to ask for his opinions.

Zeng Guofan's day was not easy. Chen Qimai, the new governor of Jiangxi, was not as tactful as Jiang Zhongyuan said. Instead, he opposed him everywhere. Chen Qimai would definitely suppress the person he liked.

What made Zeng Guofan even more angry was that Chen Qimai was making a fuss about the supply of food and money for the Hunan Army. He threatened not to give food and money for the Hunan Army. He let Zeng Guofan send a consultation twice and asked him twice, and he kept writing private messages to him. He used all means for public or private purposes, but Chen Qimai ignored him, and Zeng Guofan was so angry that he shivered.

After receiving a letter from Li Xubin and others, he knew that Hu Linyi was winning people's hearts, but he did not dare to point it out. He also tried his best to defend Hu Linyi so that they would not be suspicious.

Li Yunzhong looked at Hu Mengjun who suddenly appeared and scolded: "Don't run around on the boat. Where have you been going these days? You can't find it even if you look for it?"

Hu Mengjun asked shyly, "Your Highness, do you still count on what you say?"

"What do you mean? Do I have any promises to you?" Li Yunzhong was confused and had long forgotten all the jokes he had made.

Seeing that the King of Han refused to admit it, Hu Mengjun said anxiously: "It was when you ordered me to persuade Li Hongzhang to surrender, and said that as long as I persuaded one person to surrender, I would be promoted to another level. Have you forgotten?"

Li Yunzhong looked at him in a hurry and teased, "You believe this kind of nonsense. If anyone persuades ten or eight, wouldn't the promotion be bigger than me?"

Hu Mengjun was like an eggplant beaten by frost, and was in a state of sluggishness and muttered: "I didn't keep my word, so I wasted my words for half a month!"

Li Yunzhong said in surprise: "You have been persuading Li Hongzhang for the past half month! It seems that it has been successful! How many people have you persuaded to surrender?"

Li Yunzhong is now looking at Hu Mengjun with admiration. Those people are stubborn and have experienced them personally. Unexpectedly, Hu Mengjun is forced to say that he has surrendered. He is a talent!

Hu Mengjun raised two fingers, looked angry, and complained: "I ate and slept with them for half a month. I have never said so many things in my life. These hard work is really in vain. Your Highness, you always want to reward me with something, right?"

Li Yunzhong said helplessly: "What do you want? Because you are really talented, you can tell me that as long as I can do it."

Hu Mengjun frowned and thought for a while, and tentatively said, "Your Highness should be promoted to my official position!"

Such a thick-skinned face is useful! Li Yunzhong remembered that diplomacy has not been available so far, so he nodded and said, "Yes, my Han system was first established, and there are still many positions that have no candidates, such as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Minister of Minister and the Second-Chief, and no one has served in the office. Since you are eloquent and thick-skinned, you are really the only candidate. You can temporarily take over the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."

Hu Mengjun was overjoyed, smiled and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "Don't worry, your highness, I will definitely manage this Ministry of Foreign Affairs in an orderly manner and will never embarrass Your Highness. Then I am a second-rank now?"

Li Yunzhong kicked over and scolded: "You think beautifully! If you don't get promoted in your life, I will let you be the second rank. Now you will be an assistant minister and a fifth rank, so as not to spread my word everywhere without trust. By the way, who are the two people who are you trying to surrender?"

There must be no Li Hongzhang here! Li Yunzhong heard that he had persuaded two people to surrender, so he knew that Li Hongzhang was still insisting.

Hu Mengjun clapped his hands and shouted at the door of the cabin: "Come in, your highness is waiting for you inside!"

Seeing that the two people who came in were all bare hands, Tang Liang felt relieved and still stared at them with his eyes tightly.

"Liu Mingchuan (Wu Changqing) pays homage to Your Highness, wishing Your Highness a thousand years of life!"

Li Yunzhong's right hand supported and said, "Please get up quickly, you two can give up the darkness and turn to the light, I am very pleased.

Liu Mingchuan and Wu Changqing looked at each other and said in unison: "The King of Han punished the people and punished the crimes, and the people of the world followed suit. The destiny of heaven is here, and we dare not act against the will of heaven!"

Li Yunzhong smiled and said, "If you are so literary, you, Wu Changqing, must have thought of it!"

Wu Changqing felt a complicated feeling in his heart, and he couldn't help but sigh, no wonder so many people were willing to die and protect him. Just by this sentence, he felt much closer to the King of Han.

Liu Mingchuan smiled foolishly, "Your Highness is wise, these scholars love to be verbally whispered. Surrender means surrender. You have to say that you act against the will of heaven before. I, Old Liu, don't love this. In the future, as long as your Highness trusts me, I will work hard for you."

"Haha... I like to save the third son, you are a straightforward and loyal person. Don't worry, I, Li Yunzhong, are definitely not a narrow-minded villain. As long as you are loyal and loyal, I will treat you equally!" Li Yunzhong knew that they were all famous generals of the Huai Army in later generations, so he deliberately won over and made friends.

Wu Changqing immediately stated: "I, Wu Changqing, are not the kind of capricious villain. I used to admire Your Highness for protecting the people. Now that I have surrendered to Your Highness, I am willing to convince my family to join the Han Dynasty and be loyal to Your Highness from now on."

Li Yun was happy in the center and asked again: "Don't this Brother Shaoquan and Liu Bingzhang still want to surrender?"

Wu Changqing immediately confessed: "It's true that although Sheng San and I admire Your Highness, we are unwilling to surrender. Let Your Highness look down upon it, Lord Li persuaded us to surrender to His Highness."

Li Hongzhang intends to surrender and asks them to explore the path. Scholars want to save face. They have to set up a archway after becoming a bitch. Li Yunzhong asked, "Brother Shaoquan..."

Seeing Li Yunzhong's misunderstanding, Wu Changqing quickly shook his head and denied it, explaining: "Mr. Li saw that we were shaken and said that our two hometowns had been captured by the Han army. He advised us to surrender for our family and protect our relatives and friends."

Seeing that they felt guilty towards Li Hongzhang, Li Yunzhong sighed in his heart: He is worthy of being the leader of the Westernization Movement of the Later Japanese Movement and has a deep understanding of the surname. Wu Changqing and Liu Mingchuan were sold by him and are still counting money for him.

"Shaoquan is really a love-stricken person. Don't worry, I have no malice towards Shaoquan. When I arrive in Nanjing, I will appoint him as a staff officer and give me some advice. Even if he does not surrender to me, I will not harm me!" Li Yunzhong further won the loyalty of Wu Changqing and Liu Mingchuan.
