Chapter 11 The bone is hard, but not a knife!
"Mr. Nanping, you are forcing me!"
When the words came out, the atmosphere in the study changed. Hearing this, Liu Nengxian, who was sitting beside him, smiled.
Xu was so cautious before, but it's just a way to protect yourself!
Thinking that he was almost at his way, Liu Nengxian's previous unhappiness in his heart was swept away, and he had a little more affection for the young man in front of him.
It is rare to be so stable at such a young age.
"Yes, after my uncle looked at your words, he sighed and said, I'm afraid that you haven't finished your words. I don't know if you can say everything today!"
Drinking tea, Liu Nengxian seemed to ask back casually. Although the reason why he came to Shanghai at the end of the year was to negotiate the transfer of taxes with the customs department, today, since he met this person in Sun's mansion today, he hoped to hear whether the person in front of him was serious and answered his uncle's guess. After all, he can get his uncle now. There are only a handful of people praised by the father.
"Lord Liu, that's just a little crazy talk from the younger generation!"
Although he gritted his teeth, Chen Moran still changed his mouth. After all, sometimes it's better to be cautious, especially in this era of official power.
Liu Nengxian's words shocked Sun Jingnan. He tasted the meaning of his previous words in his heart, but he was more and more shocked. Looking at Chen Moran's eyes also changed a little.
"Ha ha, of course, don't blame me. I asked you what you think of the current situation that day. If it hadn't been interrupted at the last minute, I'm afraid there would be something to say! At these times, I'm thinking about your unfinished words at night. Now, you can tell me a word or two in detail.
When he spoke, Sun Jingnan gave a look to Chen Moran. After all, the young man in front of him grew up abroad. He didn't know that there was someone in the court who was easy to be an official, and it was the same as a businessman.
After ignoring Sun Jingnan's eyes, Chen Moran's heart sank and only said it? The reason why I know a little about these is because of a paper I read in a magazine when I was in college. The analysis in that paper is nothing more than an afterthought, but in this time and space.
Since... After holding tea and pondering for ten seconds, Chen Moran raised his head and looked at Liu Nengxian in front of him. The nephew of the governors of Liangjiang, if he could win the good impression of him and the governors of Liangjiang, he was afraid that it would only be beneficial and harmless to him in the future.
"Mr. Liu and Mr. Nan Ping insisted on letting the younger generation say, please forgive the rudeness of the younger generation!"
Nodding with satisfaction, Liu Nengxian looked at the young man in front of him, who claimed to be a junior, who seemed to be humble but not humble.
"My uncle once said that you can see through the discord between countries and solve the current crisis!"
Liu Nengxian's words shocked Sun Jingnan, who had a teacup. He looked at Chen Moran incribly. What he admired this person was not because of his insight, but more because of the scene of "industry saving the country" he said. Rich people and strengthen the country. If the people are rich, the country will be strong. If there is no industry, you can't enrich the people. If there is no industry, you can't strengthen the country, but Lord Xianzhuang. It is said that he can solve the current crisis.
The reason why Sun Jingnan asked him about his views on the current situation that day was that he was anxious after the signing of the discussion and outline. He could not ask foreigners about this kind of thing, and Chen Moran in front of him happened to grow up in Europe and the United States since he was a child, almost half a foreigner. As a result, who ever thought of it led to his words. Come on.
"Resolving the current crisis, I'm afraid that I don't have the ability to do it silently. Now that the state affairs are all caused by themselves, and the enterprise can solve it by the younger generation?"
As soon as Chen Moran's words came out, the faces of Liu Nengxian and Sun Jingnan changed at the same time.
"Bold!"
Liu Nengxian looked good and shouted solemnly.
"I'm not bold enough to declare war on the eight countries!"
Chen Moran doesn't have the previous scruples, that is, if they want to hear it, just let them listen enough! Regardless of the sudden change in the look of the two people.
The Eight-Nation Alliance entered Yanjing. It was such a great shame and humiliation. The outside world was ambitious for China, but inside, it was just bitter wine. It dared to declare war on the eight major powers of the world with the strength of one country. I'm afraid that the world would not find anyone with more courage than that woman. At this time, the situation is extreme. Lord Liu, who do you think can solve the crisis at this time!"
When asking rhetorically, Chen Moran raised the corners of his lips.
"What's more, half a month ago, Li Hongzhang and Prince Qing signed the "negotiation outline" on behalf of the Qing Dynasty. That is, there is a solution, and what's the use of signing of this discussion and outline that exhausts China's financial strength. In addition to working in the frame and barely fighting for some benefits, what else can we talk about? "?"
"Qin Hui, the traitor, Li Hongzhang, the traitor!"
Liu Nengxian and Sun Jingnan almost scolded at the same time.
"Hum!"
The scolding of the two made Chen Moran sneer, and the wild surname was forced out, and there was nothing to worry about
Chen Moran's sneer made Liu Nengxian and Sun Jingnan feel extremely uncomfortable. They looked at Chen Moran with a sneer, and their expressions became unnatural.
"Li Hongzhang certainly misleads the country, but my lord, sir, he is not going to make a mistake in this country to the end!"
The faces of Liu Nengxian and Sun Jingnan changed again. This change is not embarrassing, but helpless.
"We can be right at any time and speak generously at any time, but this is just a flaunt and can't solve the problem!"
The meaning of Chen Moran's words made Liu Nengxian and Sun Jingnan, who had just been scolded by Li Hongzhang, look slightly embarrassed and couldn't help smiling awkwardly. What he said was the truth.
"For those who are not good at judging the situation and do not hesitate to declare war on the eight countries, perhaps the most fortunate thing for them is to meet a loyal slave like Li Hongzhang."
When he spoke, Chen Moran's face was full of pity, as if he was feeling sorry for his fellow countryman.
"Although the huge disaster that happened in the summer of 36 years can be completely avoided, since it happened, Li Hongzhang must maintain the situation conscientiously, and also dispel the pursuit of the coalition forces and maintain the status of those people. Such a slave is really extremely loyal. Li Hongzhang is making the last effort for this crumbling court.
Although Chen Moran's words were disrespectful and rebellious this time, what was unexpected was that Liu Jingxian just listened quietly. He didn't say anything boldly, and he didn't say anything that he couldn't say anything. He just listened thoughtfully.
"When the Eight-Nation Alliance of the Gengzi Incident was stationed in the capital. When the court announced that Li Hongzhang was fully appointed as the council and ambassador and rushed to Yanjing from Guangzhou, the whole Yanjing was looking forward to the arrival of Li Hongzhang. Indeed, when the whole Qing Dynasty fell into the biggest disaster, the capital fell, and those officials died, or stood up, asked for self-protectance, and were insensitive!"
Chen Moran's eyes gently swept over Liu Nengxian's face. He only said half of what he said. As for the second half, he would not say it, nor could he say it. Here he could scold Li Hongzhang and the old women, but he must not scold others.
"Only Li Hongzhang stepped forward and walked a different road, that is, to exchange personal humiliation and sacrifice for maximum mitigation. How could he not know that Li Hongzhang was smart all his life? In danger, the people here,"
Chen Moran looked at the two people in front of him and pointed to his feet.
"They have excellent face, extreme arrogant and inferiority. They are unwilling to face the facts and do not reflect on themselves. They just actively look for scapegoats. When they found the scapegoat, they often did not hesitate to shift the blame, and then they shook their arms to denounce it. Li Hongzhang has always seen such a mentality and Xi's surname clearly, and he is very familiar with all this.
When Chen Moran spoke, he couldn't help shaking his head. At the beginning, the outline must have been a pity. The whole country scolded Li Hongzhang. When he first came to Shanghai, the newspapers he read were all articles that scolded Li Hongzhang for forgetting the sect and betraying the country for glory. When he said this, whether Liu Nengxian or Sun Jingnan's expression changed from time to time because of his words, they were just one of those good-faced, arrogant and inferior people.
"But he couldn't escape, so he had to go to the foreground. If he doesn't go to hell, who will go to hell? It may also be that the only thing that Li Hongzhang can comfort himself is that such a move avoids further loss of life and protects his Qing Dynasty, and the court he has served all his life can finally return to the capital!"
At this point, Chen Moran's face showed some ridicule and helplessness.
"Well, now Li Erhan's great name is real!"
Liu Nengxian, who had been sitting in the chair and holding the teacup in his hand, looked at the previous cautious Chen Moran in front of him, who had no scruples, raised his hand and stroked the tea in the cup with the lid.
"If Li Hefei listens to you! I'm afraid I'm extremely relieved! When you want to come, I'm afraid that you will be indispensable from the title of the third grade. If there is a day, maybe you can also be a feudal official!"
Liu Nengxian's words shocked Chen Moran. He thought that he had seen the scene of Xianghuai discord in the TV series, where he dared to go on and bowed quickly.
"Adults really praise the younger generation. The younger generation has no big ambitions in this life, and it's nothing more than doing their own business and making more money! As an official, you still have to rely on the virtuousness of the adults. At most, the younger generation is at most... at most, it's just a nonsense idle person.
Liu Nengxian's thin eyes flashed and looked directly at Chen Moran, who seemed to be panicked.
"What! Of course, you are afraid!"
"Afraid!"
Bend over and lowered his head, Chen Moran gritted his teeth and said.
"Juror, how can you not be afraid!"
"Tay!"
With a soft shout, the atmosphere in the room suddenly tightened. Sun Jingnan, who was sitting behind the desk, immediately cried bitterly in the bottom of his heart.
"The younger generation's bones are not soft. They are afraid of being an official, and they will be cut off one day!"
"If the bone is hard, why are you afraid of being cut off!"
"The knee is hard and can't bend, so it's broken. The neck is hard, but it's not as hard as a knife! However, this head of eight and a half catties still wants to hold it!"
"Bang!"
Liu Nengxian stood up and looked directly at Chen Moran, and his original solemn appearance showed a smile.
"Good! What a tough one!"
