Chapter 155 Flood Dragon Entering the Sea?

Jiangning Mansion had a lot of rain yesterday, and it was raining continuously. I don't know if the old dragon king at the bottom of the river was playing tricks. Peng Yulin thought about it, and became more and more dissatisfied with the Tushui Dragon King.

The rivers and waterways are controlled by the old dragon, so why should he, the admiral of the Hunan Army Navy, do it?

Peng Yulin pursed the corners of his mouth tightly, showing no signs of happiness or anger. He looked out the window at a few green leaves with young stubble, and gently stroked his beautiful beard under his chin.

It is still summer, and the plum blossoms have not yet reached their blooming season.

However, the tender green leaves show that the winter solstice may have a grand occasion.

Boom boom boom!
The sound of knocking on the door also brought Peng Yulin back from his thoughts.

"Come in."

He called out calmly.

"Master Peng, our family is bothering you."

Zhang Yunting, dressed in a red robe, with red lips and white teeth, pushed the door open and entered.He followed the canal of Suzhou Mansion and arrived by water, this eunuch was faster than Lin Dong and others.

A day ago, I made an appointment with the members of Peng's family, and today I came to pay a visit to the famous Xue Shuai of the Hunan Army.

As the saying goes, if you don't have anything to go to the Three Treasures Hall, Peng Yulin naturally knew that the eunuch came to the door with military affairs, "Please sit down!" Peng Yulin waved his hand and said politely.

Zhang Yunting couldn't help taking a second look.

The Hunan Army is handsome.

In the capital, there is also the title of Living Hades.

The so-called Living Hades doesn't refer to how many people he has killed, how many kills can be compared to having his head shaved?Rather, it is describing that Peng Yulin is upright, as stern and selfless as the king of hell, and does not talk about personal relationships.

He was able to win the title of King of Hell, but it was a public case in the officialdom. In his early years, Li Hongzhang was promoted to the governor of Huizhou and arranged for his nephew to study there.

However, his nephew Li Qiusheng was not a good person either, he bullied men and women, and did all kinds of evil things. Coincidentally, he happened to run into Peng Yulin who was visiting Huizhou government unannounced as an imperial envoy.

Without saying a word, Lord Hades sent him to the prison and executed him. No matter who came to intercede, it was useless, let alone Li Hongzhang, this matter was directly sent to Zeng Guofan's desk.

Later, Zeng Guofan wrote a letter, and Peng Yulin only replied with eight characters.From now on, all the villains in the capital will restrain themselves when they see this person entering the capital.Peng Yulin's reputation as the Living King of Hades has been widely spread.

Back to the point.

When Zhang Yunting saw this handsome Xue, his eyes lit up, he was handsome and elegant, with white beard and hair slightly parted, wearing a white long gown, standing in front of him, he really looked like a ball of Aoxue that could not be melted.

"Our Zhang Yunting has met."

Zhang Yunting cupped his hands and spoke again.

"sit down."

Peng Yulin stretched out his hand and pointed again.

Zhang Yunting still stood respectfully, and just smiled softly: "Where is our place in front of Mr. Peng, we came here this time just for one thing..."

"Oh?"

Peng Yulin's face was expressionless, and his tone was raised by three points.

"Xiang Shuai asked me to send a letter to my lord, please read it."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Yunting took out a thin letter from his cuff and handed it over.

Peng Yulin raised his eyelids, but took it. He and Zeng Guofan had a half-teacher friendship. At the beginning, although there were some troubles because of the gap between Li Hongzhang's nephew and nephew.

But the basic friendship is not hurt, the Taiping Army is not yet broken, it is far from the time for him to stick his hooves.

Peng Yulin unfolded the letter and read it carefully, frowning involuntarily.

And Zhang Yunting didn't take the time to take the opportunity to glance at the whole picture of the room. In the middle of the room, where the screen is, there are many pictures of plum blossoms, and the poems of "Plum Blossoms and Hundred Rhymes" are inscribed on the plum blossoms.

"It is rumored that Xue Shuai once had a crush on a girl, but now it seems to be true."

Zhang Yunting flashed such reveries.

The sticky poles in the inner court are not comparable to the Jinyiwei in the Ming Dynasty.

But the ministers from all walks of life in the imperial court, the rumors that occasionally appeared among the people, or some news that everyone in the officialdom was familiar with, were still recorded.

For example, this Xueshuai, someone in the court praised him highly - the buildings and boats cross the sea, he can't bear to talk about bloody battles, he has grown flowers in the garden, his meritorious deeds are brilliant, his poems and wines are from famous masters.

It's about his old stories.

There are still pens and ink on the desk, the wet handwriting has not dried up, and the inscription reads: "You and I have a blind date with great enthusiasm, and we are happy to stay in Weiyang... This is a poem about the girl Peng Yulin met when he was young.

That woman has a special identity—Meigu, not to mention her name, is the adopted daughter of Peng Yulin's grandmother, and is his aunt in terms of seniority.

Nephew likes aunt?
Stimulate!

Gang Chang's ethics are so overwhelming that even the King of Hades can't breathe.

So what if the world admires an extremely human minister?

The gold, silver and jewelry are not glanced at, and the beautiful concubine Ji is not distracted, because the door of the heart has long been completely closed with the death of plum blossoms.

"After all, he is a coward who can't break the barrier of love."

Zhang Yunting made such an evaluation in his heart as soon as he thought about it.

At this time, Peng Yulin had read the letter from Zeng Guofan.

The letter once said, "Brother Yulin, you are very strict in leading the army, you can manage the army well, and you have won the hearts of the soldiers... But now there are rebels who are plotting against my ninth brother..."

Balabala said that his ninth younger brother had been assassinated and the murderer had been found, but because there was no evidence, he wanted to ask Peng Yulin to uphold justice.

(In the early days, Peng Yulin treated Zeng Guofan as a teacher. Zeng Guofan called him brother in his letters to show respect. I respect you as a teacher, and you respect me as a brother. The reality is so absurd.)
Peng Yulin has a legalist iron ruler in his hand, which can measure righteousness and evil, and it is also his strongest weapon.

When Zeng Guofan fought the Taiping Army for the first time, he tasted a little bit of sweetness and was lucky to win a few games.

Afterwards, Lao Zeng felt that he was so awesome, so he released a "Written Essay on Cantonese Bandits", and soon Shi Da slapped him in the face, hitting him with a pair of iron fists.

At that time, the fledgling Peng Yulin was unremarkable among the staff.

Holding a legalist iron ruler, Peng Yulin walked [-] miles to fight with the generals of the Taiping Army.

His learning is quite mixed, and there is a faint sense of Confucianism outside and Law inside, and there is still a certain difference from the way of Confucius and Mencius that Lao Zeng followed.

"Please also tell Lord Butang, (Butang, another name for the assistant minister to be promoted to governor.) Xueqin will discern the matter, and if it is true, it will suppress it with legal principles. If not, let the dragon enter the sea ..."

After Qianqian said a few words, Peng Yulin's response was actually quite vague.

As the Hunan Army Department, Chief Zhang Da, one of the old Zeng's inner court assistants, smiled immediately, how can I get on with you like this?

Zhang Tingyu frowned, and said on the spot: "His surname is Lin, he is not a dragon, he is clearly a bug. On the way, our family also heard that Mr. Peng cleared the rivers and lakes and invited heroes from all over the world. Let's go to the Spring Wind Pavilion together, according to what our family sees, it is better to use their hands to get rid of that Yuanjue boy..."

Before he finished speaking, he coughed, Peng Yulin coughed, and picked up the teacup with a blank expression.

Zhang Yunting's face turned livid in an instant.

The meaning of serving tea to see off guests couldn't be more obvious.

As an eunuch, you don't have to give me money to be filial!

But you can't refute my face, let alone look down on me?
As one of the chief executives of the palace, Zhang Yunting is the most able to observe people and things, not to mention the expression, even a casual glance of a certain important person, he can get a glimpse of the truth.

Zhang Yunting smiled with difficulty, "Farewell." He arched his hands and said so, without leaving a word of the scene.

That's not counting, when he walked to the door, Zhang Yunting stood still, silent for a moment.

He suddenly recited a poem and said: "Master Peng, I have heard a saying called——I regret being a Marquis the most in my life, and I am willing to pay plum blossoms for the rest of my life, hum, little plum blossoms, absurd, absurd, ridiculous, ridiculous, I hope you can do it yourself. "

With a bang, he pushed the door open and walked out with a flick of his sleeves.

Peng Yulin put down the teacup unhurriedly, facing the ridicule of the eunuch, without raising his eyelids, half of his mentor Zeng Guofan had been reprimanded face to face, not to mention a dog raised by Lao Zeng, how could he take it to heart.

Compare this.

It was the person in the letter that aroused Peng Yulin's great interest.

"Slaying Chen Yucheng with a knife, and retreating Shi Dakai with a fist, it's a bit interesting."

Peng Yulin commented casually.

He threw the letter paper casually, and the wind outside the window blew the letter paper onto the luxurious wooden table. In the Longquan Kiln Suanni incense burner handed down from the Ming Dynasty, the ashes of the letter paper were ignited by the ashes of the incense, and a bright flame burst into flames. , In the smoke of burning letter paper, a picture was actually constructed.

Suan Ni looked up like a cloud, and in the curling smoke, a pair of saber eyes, murderous in the wild, boiling against the sky.

click!
A crack opened suddenly on Suan Ni's body, and a thumb-thick crack appeared on the evenly glazed surface.

A good magic weapon is ruined.

Peng Yulin frowned, not because he felt sorry for the magic weapon, but because he was worried about the man with sharp eyes, "Lin Yuanjue?" He whispered the name softly.

What kind of waves will be caused when the dragon enters the sea?
