Liu Rong said: "Then why don't you call him here quickly, but to avoid leaking the news, it is not advisable to say it explicitly now. Let's tell him when you arrive at Changde Mansion..."

Zeng Guoquan pretended to be so, and called Xie Zhengfeng in loudly without saying anything, without saying anything, he ordered: "You will lead two thousand people to Changde Mansion and cooperate with the prefect of Changde to block the city."

"As for the order!"

Half a month later, Xie Zhengfeng plotted against Changde Prefecture and established the title of King Tang. He knew that Hunan's Hunan Army was in great power, so he changed his way to capture Yueyang and marched into Hubei.

Zeng Guoquan found Zeng Guofan early in the morning, holding the official document in his hand, shouting with joy: "It's done! It's done! That guy Xie Zhengfeng really rebelled!"

Seeing that he was so silly, Zeng Guofan suppressed his excitement and scolded: "Bastard! You are in your thirties and are still so ignorant. How can I feel assured to let you stand alone when you are so rogue!"

Zeng Guoquan was both surprised and happy. He knew that his elder brother was interested in letting him lead troops into Hubei, so he immediately replied with a stern face: "Don't worry, the general, the humble position will never disappoint the general's expectations."

Zeng Guofan held Zeng Guoquan's back and told him: "This is the last battle of the Hunan Army. I heard that Shi Dakai from northern Yunnan has decided to surrender to the Han Dynasty. In this way, only Sichuan is left in China. Thinking that the Han army is strong and strong, Li Yun was surrendered and rebel, and it would not be necessary for us to pacify Sichuan."

Zeng Guoquan asked blankly without knowing why, "What does big brother mean?"

Zeng Guofan rebuked, "I'm confused! After this battle, I'm going to leave the Hunan Army. Whether the Hunan Army can continue to exist depends on your means. Remember! Listen to Xiaxian's words more. Ji Gao is also a person in love and will not hate us because of past events."

Zeng Guoquan seemed to understand but he tentatively said: "Did you let me take the team? As far as I know, the backbone of the Qingliu of the imperial court is us from Hunan, and Zuo Jigao is the representative."

Zeng Guofan nodded in praise and continued, "If the emperor wants to do something, he will balance the forces in the army. Don't be confused. If the Hunan Army gets close to the Guangxi people, it will be the Hunan Army that will be dismantled. Remember! Remember!"

Zeng Guoquan smiled and said, "Brother is too worried. How could I defect to Guangxi people?"

Seeing that he understood the truth, Zeng Guofan felt relieved and asked, "Have you ever asked about Zhao Yali when you went to Yanjing?"

Zeng Guoquan became excited and looked around. When he came back, he whispered mysteriously: "Brother doesn't know anything. I heard that Lord Zhao is the emperor's boy. Look at his beautiful eyebrows, red lips and white teeth. I looked pitiful, but I didn't expect that the emperor would say this too..."

"Bang!" Zeng Guofan slapped Zeng Guoquan at the whispering and said angrily: "You dare to spread this kind of rumor. The Zeng family will sooner or later be defeated by you. It must be a malicious slander of the villains. You must stay away from them so as not to cause trouble."

Zeng Guoquan covered his cheeks with grievance, and suddenly understood something. He held a grudge against the person who told him the news. After a while, he was glad that he did not spread it everywhere.

Zeng Guofan asked angrily: "Is there any other situation?"

Seeing Zeng Guofan raise his hand, Zeng Guoquan subconsciously took two steps back. After reacting, his face turned redder and replied: "This Lord Zhao only appeared half a year ago. It's really strange. The emperor trusted him very much and even found an excuse to start Enko. The top scholar is Lord Zhao. I heard that the chief assistant Lu Jianying and Lu did not agree..."

Zeng Guofan was shocked and asked carefully: "What's going on?"

Zeng Guoquan felt relieved and knew that he had said it to the point, and said in detail: "At that time, there were several good essays with eight-legged essays. The emperor fell in love with Lord Zhao. I heard that it was because Lord Zhao was good at Westernization, and his answers were all about strengthening the country and strengthening the army. Lord Lu believed that this person was very ambitious and talented and could not bear to be valued."

Zeng Guofan smiled and said, "This master is also a smart person. No wonder Chang Dachun was dismissed from office, but Lu Jianying was as stable as Mount Tai."

Zeng Guoquan didn't know how smart Lu Jianying was, but he didn't dare to interrupt Zeng Guofan's thinking, so he could only stop the words he said and stood quietly.

Zeng Guofan sighed: "This Lord Zhao must have an unusual relationship with the emperor. Could it be that he and the emperor have known each other for a long time? Otherwise, the emperor would not trust him so much, and he gave him something as important as the Shangfang Sword."

After a while, Zeng Guofan said solemnly: "Lao Jiu, under any circumstances, you should not offend this Lord Zhao. It would be fine if he relied on his temporary favor, but this person is extremely smart and ruthless in dealing with things, we cannot afford to offend him."

Zeng Guoquan sighed. Since he learned that Zhao Yali was a celebrity in front of the emperor, he was very attentive to Zhao Yali along the way and was very pleased with her. He thought she would be scolded by Zeng Guofan. Unexpectedly, Zeng Guofan also thought he was doing the right thing and sighed secretly: His brother's mentality has changed and he no longer talks about loyalty, filial piety, chastity and righteousness.

The housekeeper of Zeng knocked on the door and shouted: "Master Qi, Master Jiu, there is a Lord Zhao outside the door asking for a meeting!"

Zeng Guofan and Zeng Guoquan looked at each other and went out together.

"Mr. Zhao is here to visit, and the mansion is full of glory!" Zeng Guofan shouted from afar as if he was very excited.

Zhao Yali smiled slightly, responded to a few words, followed Zeng Guofan to the hall, and bowed, "I'm going to say goodbye to you this time."

Zeng Guofan asked in surprise: "Seng is negligent, Mr. Zhao's famous saying, Zeng must have corrected it."

Zhao Yali smiled and said, "Mr. Zeng is worried too much. The matter in Hubei has been deployed properly. If Mr. Zeng is in charge of the overall situation, he will definitely make sure that his subordinates will rush to Yunnan. Mr. Hu has written a letter to urge him several times. Lord Shen ordered his subordinates to take the lead."

Zeng Guofan smiled and said, "Since that's the case, Zeng won't keep Lord Zhao. Please rest assured Lord Zhao. Within one month, the Hunan Army will definitely pacify Hubei. Then the emperor will send someone to accept it."

Seeing the atmosphere harmonious, Zhao Yali explained her purpose: "I heard that Lord Zhao has a daughter. The emperor specially ordered me to check it out. I wonder if it is convenient for Lord Zeng."

Zeng Guoquan was secretly happy that the emperor must have ordered Lord Zhao to come and investigate Zeng Jiaxin's appearance. It seems that the emperor agreed to the marriage.

Zeng Guofan of course agreed and ordered the housekeeper to say, "Go and invite the lady here."

"Yes, Master!"

The butler dared not be negligent, so he immediately rushed to the side yard and invited Zeng Jiaxin over. Zeng Jiaxin asked what happened, and the butler told him truthfully.

Zeng Jiaxin was so angry that she didn't expect that she would never escape the fate of being someone else's concubine. She didn't dress up and just followed the butler to leave the yard.

When Zeng Guofan saw Zeng Jiaxin’s bare face, he was unhappy and stood up and smiled: “Mr. Zhao, this is the little girl Jiaxin. Jiaxin has never seen Mr. Zhao!”

Zeng Jiaxin saluted Zhao Yali. Seeing Zhao Yali's appearance, she felt as if she was a little soul in her heart. She stood still. Under Zeng Guofan's scolding, she said softly: "The girl from the folk has met Lord Zhao."

Zhao Yali came to Zeng Jiaxin, stroked Zeng Jiaxin's face gently, and smiled: "It turns out that there is a bit of Jiaxin's style. How old are you this year?"

Zeng Jiaxin's face was blushing, and the little deer in her chest bumped into her body, and she whispered: "Seventeen years old!"

"Ahem!" Zeng Guoquan saw that he was flirting with his niece, and quickly reminded him.

Zhao Yali reluctantly put down her hand and thought to herself that Li Yunzhong was so lucky. After just taking over the two stunning beauties, another Jiaxin came to her door. Zeng Guofan looked so ugly and his daughter was born like a flower. Could this be a genetic mutation?

Zeng Jiaxin looked at the handsome Zhao Yali and said in her heart that it would be great if she wanted to marry this young man. I wonder if he had anybody he liked? Will he fall in love with me?

Zeng Guofan secretly said something wrong. It seems that Lord Zhao is also interested in Jiaxin. If he slandered him above the emperor, wouldn’t he have a plan be wasted!

Zeng Guoquan couldn't wait to ask: "I wonder what Lord Zhao thinks of my niece? Can the emperor like it?"

Zeng Guofan secretly praised the ninth person, and Lao Jiu finally became sensible. Now that he forced Zhao Yali to express his opinion, it was also a solution.

Zhao Yali didn't know Zeng Guofan's beauty and smiled at Zeng Guofan, saying, "Let love be truly beautiful, the rare thing is pure and gratifying, and it is suitable for being the emperor's concubine."

Zeng Guofan was overjoyed and replied: "I would like to thank Lord Zhao for his support. Zeng is very grateful!"

Zhao Yali quickly smiled and was humble, and her heart was filled with all kinds of flavors.

Reasonably, she wanted to support this marriage, so that Zeng Guofan could be won over. Hundreds of thousands of Hunan troops were available at any time, and the land of the two lakes was within reach.

She was so jealous of love that she was angry and annoyed at Li Yunzhong in her heart. What's wrong with being a good person, but she became the Emperor of Han.
