The court really loved and hated Zeng Guofan. Without Zeng Guofan, the Qing Dynasty could not hold on. It was not an exaggeration to say that he fought alone. Zeng Dashen was the soul of the entire Han governor group. How could he not love such great contributions?

However, the great achievements shocked the Lord, which has always caused jealousy. Zeng Guofan's contribution was so great that the court could not award him any reward. He was a Han man of a different surname, and it was already the end of the day to be granted a marquis.

Although there is a title of duke above the marquis, looking at the entire history of the Qing Dynasty, the duke only granted four people to the Qianlong Dynasty. After only four, this title was left to the shelves, and the four people were all full of people.

Zeng Guofan's marquis was already the pinnacle of Han officials' rewards, but can a marquis really match the great commander's contribution? The answer is certainly no. Turning the tide and extending the lifespan of the Qing Dynasty for decades. How can this contribution be rewarded by a marquis?

Since there is no reward, most powerful ministers in history have ended up badly, but the court really dared not touch Zeng Guofan's hair, not only because of the 500,000 Hunan Army, but also because Zeng Guofan has become a moral model among Han officials.

You can say that he is a perfect man, who has made words, virtue and merit. He has achieved the ultimate goal of everything that Confucian ministers pursue. The family letters revealed from his study have even been gathered and widely circulated. Some of his mottos on family management have been regarded as classics by countless people.

Zeng Guofan even wrote a book called Ice Mirror, which specializes in teaching people how to see facial features. This is really not a feudal superstition. In Confucianism, physiognomy is really a long-standing academic.

Face is born from the heart. For thousands of years, elite Confucian scholars in ancient China have accumulated a lot of skills in observing people. From a person's appearance and temperament, they can understand the character of a person's character. This is the secret of Confucian scholars.

Why did the world in ancient times have been in chaos? There were always some scholars from the dragon who saw a certain rebellious leader and exclaimed that this was the true dragon appearance! This was the appearance of a king and a prince! To be honest, it was not a flattery, but those people really knew how to read the appearance.

Zeng Guofan actually made the top secret technique of Confucianism's private closure to the public and wrote a book called "Ice Mirror" to spread it to the world. This is actually to prove to the world that Zeng Guofan already mastered the core secrets of Confucianism, which means that he only grasped the orthodox tradition of Confucianism in his hands.

To be honest, if it weren't for Zeng Guofan's establishment of the Hunan Army Group, he would have been the real leader of the Qingliu Manchu.

Such a person will never dare to move the court. If you want to let the hearts of Confucian scholars all over the world and want these people to rebel, then you might as well try to kill one.

Cixi and the other two were surprised to see this mindless telegram. Of course, they hoped that Zeng Guofan would enter the capital. This tiger could only be relieved by putting it under their noses, but they were afraid of everything they could not understand.

If we cannot understand Zeng Guofan's routine of sending this telegram today and do not understand the thoughts or conspiracies behind him, the four people in the Hall of Yangxin would probably not be able to sleep.

The large cloisonné hotpot was already boiling, and the rolling soup exuded the deliciousness of the ingredients, but none of the four pairs of ivory chopsticks were interested in tasting a little. They muttered and said it was endless, but no matter how they analyzed it, they were confused.

"Is Zeng Guofan really a loyal minister of our Qing Dynasty? He didn't want the Han people to be good from the bottom of his heart? What does this telegram have to do with the Chinese order..." Questions one after another, and everyone was a little confused.

Just as the Yangxin Palace was nervous and burning their minds, the two figures of the Military Affairs Office not far to the south also completed the last work of today. They were packing up their things and chatting while stepping on the last bit of afterglow to leave the palace.

Li Tuo put his own miscellaneous items in the cloth bag. Yang Zhi had been waiting for a long time. In order to repay Li Tuo for saving his life, he decided to ask Li Tuo to go home and have a good meal.

If Li Tuo hadn't reminded him when he was most angry, if there was a conflict with the eunuch at the inner right door, let alone the court's punishment, the two guards would have the right to slash him.

Li Tuo is really his noble person, so after Yang Zhi walked out of the Yangxin Palace, he did not leave the Meridian Gate directly, but turned to the Military Affairs Office to chat with him. Later, when he heard that it was less than half an hour later, Li Tuo was paid, so the two made an appointment to leave the palace together, so Yang Zhi walked behind Weng Tonghe.

He bowed goodbye to the handover person. The two of them walked in the gradually dark Forbidden City, whispering softly from time to time. When they reached the Plaza of the Supreme Hall of Heaven, Li Tuo suddenly smiled and said, "Mr. Yang, do you know why Xiao Liu from the **yamen just came?"

"Xiao Liu? Which Xiao Liu? The one who talks to you?" Yang Zhi asked in confusion.

"Yes, it's him, Xiao Liu from the **yamen. I have known him for three years. That kid is a drama fan. If you want to get closer to him in the future, just invite him to watch the drama..."

"Of course this is not the point. Do you know what he did when he came to the palace?" Li Tuo smiled strangely.

"What are you doing? How could I know? Didn't he let the little eunuch take it directly to the Yangxin Palace? You just exchanged a few greetings with him. Can you know what he is doing?"

Hahaha... Li Tuo chuckled softly, "Of course I know what he is doing. In the box he is holding is a telegram, and it is a telegram from the south. I also know who the sender is..."

Yang Zhi blinked his eyes and asked incrediblely, "How is this possible? You two obviously didn't say anything? There are so many guards and eunuchs staring around him. Who dares to leak military aircraft information?"

Li Tuo patted Yang Zhi on the shoulder, "Sir Yang, snakes have snake roads, rats have rat roads. We, Zhang Jing, who are on duty, are just a group of pens and posts. They are the youngest sesame officials in the Forbidden City. To put it bluntly, those imperial guards who stand guard may have higher identities than us..."

"But why no one dares to bully us here? It's not because we are sitting in the military office, but because we also have our way of survival!"

"Since the founding of the State Dynasty, the power of the prominent cabinet in the Ming Dynasty has been gradually undermined. During the Kangxi Dynasty, Shangshu was established, and then Yongzheng established the Military Affairs Office. During the Xianfeng period, the ** yamen was established..."

"The officials in the court are ups and downs. After you finish singing, I will appear. Today, he will see his high-rise building, and tomorrow he will see the building collapse! But no matter how the officials rise and fall, we little officials who hold their pens and do odd jobs are all very comfortable. I have never seen Zhang Jing and have a pen style to catch melons with them!"
