When Li Zhen saw Mo Yuansheng kneeling down, he felt a little unhappy and said, "Get up, I don't like people kneeling in front of me."
Mo Yuansheng stood up, but he hunched his back and lowered his head slightly, not daring to look directly at Li Zhen. At this moment, Mo Yuansheng seemed like a primary school student, standing next to Li Zhen in an orderly manner, not daring to move.
Shan Qi looked at Mo Yuansheng's bearish look and immediately wanted to get angry.
Mo Yuansheng was the reinforcement he had brought in, but now he was obediently listening to Li Zhen's words. It was simply a reversal of priorities. Shanqi wanted to speak, but when he saw the fierce-looking person next to Li Zhen, he finally shut his mouth and did not dare. Speaking of which, in fact, Shanqi is just a playboy who relies on the name of Prince Yi. He has no power himself and his family is very ordinary. To put it bluntly, Shanqi cannot even compare to Mo Yuansheng.
As for Mo Yuansheng being able to come, it was for Prince Yi Zaiyuan's sake that he was willing to come.
Now that he met Li Zhen, Mo Yuansheng was naturally unwilling to offend Li Zhen for Shanqi.
As a third-rank official, Mo Yuansheng already had a certain understanding of the situation in the DPRK. The DPRK was divided into two large camps. One of the camps was the conservative group headed by a group of old officials such as Zaiyuan, Sushun, and Du Han. One faction, these people are important officials in the court and are powerful; the other faction is a faction headed by Prince Gong Yi that advocates reform. Although this faction is not as strong as Zaiyuan and others, it has generals like Li Zhen who have won the emperor.
Coupled with the identity of Prince Gong, the two sides were evenly matched, not much different. Moreover, Li Zhen had the emperor's trust, and Li Zhen's strength alone could not be ignored, which made Mo Yuansheng dare not offend Li Zhen.
In this case, Mo Yuansheng directly abandoned Shanqi.
Li Zhen glanced at Shanqi, then at the Confucian scholars beside him, and finally his eyes fell on Mo Yuansheng, and said: "I won't pursue today's matter, so you don't need to be worried, but you have to give me these Confucian scholars. Protect them well. If they are retaliated by Shanqi, the matter cannot be solved with just one sentence. For you, this is something that can be done easily, and I believe you can complete it."
"It will definitely be completed."
Mo Yuansheng patted his chest and responded loudly.
There is absolutely no simple role to be able to become a third-rank official in the capital. Mo Yuansheng has already figured it out in his heart. As the iron hat king of Zaiyuan, it is impossible to attack a few Confucian scholars. It would be a shame to say it. Therefore, Mo Yuansheng directly agreed.
Zhang Zhidong and others had expressions of gratitude on their faces, and they all breathed a sigh of relief, happy to have solved the trouble.
Only Shanqi had an extremely ugly expression.
Originally, he wanted to mobilize reinforcements to deal with Li Zhen, but the reinforcements were submissive to Li Zhen. You can imagine his depression. However, Shanqi also felt helpless because he did not have the capital to make Mo Yuansheng submissive to him.
Li Zhen settled the matter, looked at Shanqi, and said: "Shanqi, what happened today is just a small punishment. I hope you will take care of yourself. If I encounter something like this again in the future, it won't be as simple as a slap in the face." Li Zhen looked at Zhang Zhidong again and said: "Brother Zhang, I hope that when you finish your studies and serve as an official, if you have leisure, you can come to Guangdong. I have to rush back to Jiangbei Camp. I won't stay any longer. I'll say goodbye."
Zhang Zhidong cupped his fists and said, "Brother, walk slowly."
Hearing this, Li Zhen raised a smile at the corner of his mouth, nodded slightly, and then quickly got on his horse, followed by Long Ao and others who also got on their horses, and immediately rode away. A burst of smoke and dust rose, and Li Zhen and his party gradually go away.
Mo Yuansheng stood there, his mind spinning.
He was shocked when he heard the names between Li Zhen and Zhang Zhidong.
One is an 'elder' and the other is a 'brother'. Can such a relationship be normal? Mo Yuansheng seemed to have discovered some treasure. He stared at Zhang Zhidong with bright eyes and said respectfully: "Master Zhang, if in the future... If you have anything to do, just send someone to notify him. As long as Mo can help, he will do his best and never refuse."
"Thank you, Mr. Mo. We have something else to do, so we'll take our leave."
Zhang Zhidong nodded and left with a group of Confucian scholars. Although Mo Yuansheng was a third-grade official, Zhang Zhidong did not give any face to him and did not mean to please him. The more Zhang Zhidong behaved, the more Mo Yuansheng felt. I felt that Zhang Zhidong was related to Li Zhen, so I didn't dare to be careless.
After Zhang Zhidong and his party walked away, Shanqi said sharply: "Mo Yuansheng, I will remember what happened today."
The tone was harsh and threatening.
The corner of Mo Yuansheng's mouth turned up, and he said coldly: "Master Shanqi, you can remember it best, and you must remember this matter. I might as well tell you, if today's incident is revealed, let Master Zaiyuan Got it, not to mention you will be punished, even your aunt will be implicated. When the time comes, your aunt will lose the favor of Master Zaiyuan, and your family will also be affected. The key to this is that you have to think Be clear, don't cause harm to the family just because of a single thought, I'm just giving you a warning, I can't stop you from doing what you want to do."
Shanqi shuddered, but said: "Scaremongering."
Mo Yuansheng flicked his sleeves and said in a cold voice: "Do I need to threaten you? You are not in the officialdom, so naturally you don't know about officialdom affairs. Well, I don't want to say more. If you want to get involved in this matter, I'm not afraid either. Anyway, I won't be affected if things get serious. You can do whatever you want."
After finishing speaking, Mo Yuansheng waved his hand and left with the entourage he brought.
Shanqi stood there alone, looking at the entourage staggering on the ground, and sighed in his heart. He looked at Mo Yuansheng who left gracefully, with mixed emotions. Mo Yuansheng had not seen Li Zhen before, and he was flattering him. , immediately wanted to do something for him, but after seeing Li Zhen, Mo Yuansheng immediately changed into a different person, and his ability to change surprised even Shanqi.
Mo Yuansheng's actions made Shanqi feel the difference in officialdom and felt that the water was too deep.
…
Since Shi Dakai led his troops to evacuate, the Jiangbei camp has not been threatened and peace has returned to peace.
Besides practice, practice.
Especially in November, the weather became colder and colder, and training became more difficult. During the time that Li Zhen left, the army did not make any further moves. It always stayed in the camp in an orderly manner and did not take the initiative to attack. Huang Shihai Although his approach was conservative, the army was not affected in any way. The only one who couldn't bear it was Lu Shaochuan. According to this guy's idea, he should raise troops to attack Nanjing, but the army was idle in the army. He held his breath in his heart.
However, Lu Shaochuan wanted to send troops but could not. He could only vent his frustration on training soldiers, which made the soldiers in a regiment under his command as tired as dead dogs. Every soldier worked extremely hard.
When Huang Shihai received the news that Li Zhen was about to return, he immediately summoned all the generals in the army to greet him.
At the gate of the camp, Huang Shihai and others were waiting eagerly. When Li Zhen and his party appeared in sight, all the generals became excited. Huang Shihai even took a step forward and took the initiative to greet them.
Li Zhen turned over and dismounted, raised his hand and gave a military salute to the generals.
Without speaking, he led everyone into the military camp and arrived at the Chinese army's tent. Li Zhen did not rest. He immediately summoned the generals in the army and said, "I have been away for more than two months. Let's talk about these two months." Case."
