    After Tao Enpei freshened up in the wing room, he changed into ordinary coarse clothes. He was still dressed as a teacher, but he wore a Confucian scarf that he had just bought on the market in Suzhou to commemorate the clothes of the Han people.

    Tao Enpei turned around and looked at the glass mirror in the room, only to find that the portrait reflected in the mirror was very clear, and the mirror was small and exquisitely made.

    Just as Tao Enpei was holding the mirror and looking at it, a voice sounded from behind: "Although this glass mirror was introduced from the West as early as the Kangxi and Qianlong years, the mirrors at that time were made of mercury and tin foil attached to the glass.  The tin amalgam method is expensive and not commonly used among the people, and the tin amalgam method is also harmful to the human body. Therefore, I introduced the latest Western chemical silver plating method to make mirrors. The mirrors made by this method can be large or small.  , and the cost is extremely low, and it can also be widely used by the private sector."

    Tao Enpei was slightly startled. He turned around and saw King Xi standing at the door with a smile on his face. His riding boots were stained with mud, his trousers were rolled up high, and his hairy calves were covered with yellow mud.

    Tao Enpei hurriedly stepped forward and gave a slight salute. Xiao Yungui hurriedly supported him and comforted him: "It has been hard for Mr. Tao in the past two years. This gift should be given to you by my king."

    Along the way to the next life, Tao Enpei thought repeatedly about what he would say when he saw the Queen of the West, but now that he had seen the Queen, the words of the King of the West that hurt Tao Gong were spoken, which made Tao Enpei choke in his throat and he didn't know what to say.

    A scholar dies for a confidant. Isn¡¯t it true that what ancient literati sought was a confidant?  In Xiao Yungui's view, the ideas of people like Tao Enpei will be a spiritual encouragement for employees to be recognized in the corporate spirit in later generations.

    Sure enough, Tao Enpei shed tears unconsciously. Xiao Yungui pulled Tao Enpei to sit down and said slowly: "I know very well about Mr. Tao's stay in Hengyang. I don't blame anyone for the loss of Hengyang, only me. Only the king.  The cake I made that day was too big, but I couldn't help myself and failed to fulfill my promise. Moreover, the laws implemented in Tianjing were biased and disappointed the people, which gave the Qing Yao an opportunity to take advantage of it. It's my king's fault.  It's your fault." After saying that, Xiao Yungui stood up and bowed to Tao Enpei.

    Tao Enpei was speechless again. King Xi attributed everything to himself. What else could he say?  He had no choice but to stand up and return the salute.

    Xiao Yungui helped Tao Enpei back to his seat.  Then he bowed again and said: "It is really a great blessing that Mr. Tao has escaped from the great disaster and returned to my West Palace. Today, I once again implore Mr. Tao to serve as an official in my West Palace to benefit the people of this area."

    Tao Enpei did not expect Xiao Yungui to be so direct. When he was in Hengyang, he refused to accept the Taiping official title.  Now when he came to Suzhou, Xiao Yungui mentioned this matter again.  It was as if he had come all the way to seek an official position.  Immediately he declined in a hurry.

    Xiao Yungui said seriously: "Tao Gong protects the people of Hengyang, doesn't he want to benefit the elders in his hometown? Tao Gong is from Shanyin County, Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Now Shanyin has been changed to Shanyin and is under the rule of Shaoxing County, Suzhou Province. Tao Gong  My family and children are all well taken care of by me in the West Palace. Mr. Tao should think about the elders in his hometown and do something practical for them."

    Tao Enpei was slightly startled.  When Hengyang was in trouble, he sent his children back to his hometown in Shanyin to visit relatives and temporarily escape. He originally wanted to die with the city, but he didn't expect that he would return to Taiping.  Fortunately, he did not accept an official position.  Therefore, his reputation was not prominent, and the Manchus did not care about his life or death, and gave him a posthumous gift as usual. Therefore, Tao Enpei's family in Shanyin and his parents were not implicated.  It was not until after the Western King's army marched eastward that the Manchus gradually heard about Tao Enpei's surrender to Taiping. At that time, when they tried to settle accounts with Tao Enpei's nine tribes, it was already too late. The Taiping flag had already been planted on the top of the city of Shanyin, so Tao Enpei  The family was saved.

    At this time, when I heard Xiao Yungui talking about things in his hometown, he had some thoughts of going home and visiting.

    Xiao Yungui took Tao Enpei's hand and said: "Mr. Tao, I have just begun to implement the new policy in Sufu Province. Everything is difficult at the beginning. I really lack talents like Mr. Tao who are dedicated to the people. I sincerely ask Mr. Tao to serve the people."  For your own sake, please help me by serving as an official."

    Tao Enpei stood up slowly, bowed deeply to Xiao Yungui and said, "Thank you very much, King Xi, for keeping the whole family small. I have come here. I have seen along the way that the new laws implemented under the rule of the West Palace have indeed given a new look and all industries are prosperous. But I have seen  I've been away from home for a long time, how about going home first and then coming to serve?"

    Xiao Yungui was overjoyed and immediately agreed. He ordered someone to get the official photo of the Minister of Hubu and the official uniform and gave it to Tao Enpei on the spot. Zuo Zongtang was also responsible for the errands of the Minister of Hubu, and also took care of various ministries in the West Palace. For several months  After coming down, he almost fell ill from exhaustion. Xiao Yungui urgently needed someone to share Zuo Zongtang's errands.  He never liked to be sloppy in doing things, so he forcefully gave Tao Enpei the official photo of the Minister of Household Affairs and the inspection uniform.  According to the official system of the West Palace, the position of Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue is the same as that of the checkpoint. If the official has made great achievements, he can be awarded the title of prime minister with a reward. Tao Enpei just came, and he could only start with the checkpoint official title.

    Tao Enpei is a gentleman.What he just said about going home first and then coming back to work was to think about it again, but Xiao Yungui just kept holding on and didn't give him any room for change. He didn't want to let Mr. Tao take over, nor did he not take over.

    Fortunately, Queen Xi and Zuo Zongtang came together at this time, and the two persuaded Tao Enpei nicely, and Tao Enpei accepted the official photo and official uniform from the Minister of Hubu.

    At that moment, Xiao Yungui, Hong Yun'er, Zuo Zongtang and Tao Enpei sat down and talked about the Hengyang war. Tao Enpei also described how the Hunan army attacked Hengyang, how the Taiping army came out of the city to meet the enemy's defeat, how the Qing army disrupted the hearts of the people in the city, and how he went out of the city to make an appointment.  The surrender was said.

    After listening, Zuo Zongtang frowned and said: "King of the West, the Taiping Holy Soldiers have rarely suffered defeats since the defeat of Coiyidu. Especially our soldiers and horses in the West Palace, they are victorious and undefeated. There are many soldiers in each department.  There are those who despise the officers and soldiers. The defeat of Hengyang this time was due to the contempt of the officers and soldiers. The enemy's situation was not yet clear, so they opened the city to meet the enemy, resulting in a huge defeat. The defeat of Hengyang was actually caused by Liang Litai and He Zhenchuan's failure to advance and take risks when they encountered unknown enemies.  ah."

    Hong Yun'er also nodded and said: "There are still people's hearts. As the old saying goes, attacking the city is the bottom and attacking the heart is the top. That Xiang Yong actually knows how to use the art of attacking the heart to break the city. It can be seen that this army will be a powerful enemy in the future."

    Only then did Tao Enpei remember Ronglu's secret letter and said: "Gu Laochan later learned that the strategy of attacking Xiang Yong's mind was the work of Ronglu. Although this man was a Manchu, he actually knew this art of attacking the mind.  You are still young, and you will definitely have serious troubles in the future.¡±

    Xiao Yungui and Hong Yun'er looked at each other and thought to themselves.  Sure enough it was him.  Although the news from Bai Zetang came back earlier that Ronglu and the Hunan Army conquered Hengyang, the details were far less clear than Tao Enpei's, and Tao Enpei personally confirmed that the Battle of Hengyang was the work of Ronglu. Only then did the two get  For sure.

    Tao Enpei then frowned again and said: "Moreover, this man is very scheming. This time he will not hesitate to help the old man get out of trouble, but he also wants the old man to pass a sealed letter to the King of the West. I don't know what his plan is."

    Xiao Yungui and Hong Yun'er looked at each other again. Is this Lu Sixuan sending a message?  What does he want to do?  Ever since he learned about Ronglu¡¯s true identity.  Xiao Yungui ordered to cut off the contact between Bai Zetang and Ronglu, and ordered his men to assassinate him with all his strength. Fortunately, Ronglu came up with the idea and rescued Tao Enpei so that he could send the message.

    Tao Enpei immediately took out the secret letter from his arms, and Xiao Yungui took it.  He put it into his arms without looking at it, and chatted for a while.  Never mention the secret message.

    After a while.  He coughed and winked at Hong Yuner.  Hong Yun'er didn't know what Lu Sixuan would write in this letter, but the thought that he spared no effort to save Tao Enpei to deliver the letter showed that he valued Tao Enpei's honesty and trustworthiness and would definitely not open and read this letter, which also meant that this letter would definitely be written.  Something about time travel.  This time-traveling thing cannot be known to others, not even Zuo Zongtang and Tao Enpei.

    At that moment, Hong Yun'er saw Xiao Yungui's eyes.  Knowing what he was thinking, he blushed and said, "Prime Minister Zuo is going to talk to Mr. Tao first. The little girl has some private things to say to the King of the West. Let's go first." After saying that, he stood up and took Xiao Yungui away.

    Zuo Zongtang was a little strange.  What happened to these two couples today, but the King of the West never hid anything from him, so he didn't think about the secret letter, and continued talking to Tao Enpei, discussing the new policy.

    Xiao Yungui and Hong Yun'er hurried back to their study as if they were thieves, and ordered their male and female guards to guard the study. The couple closed the study door and started discussing secretly.

    Xiao Yungui impatiently took out the letter, removed the lacquer envelope and opened it. He saw a long letter written in simplified Chinese characters for later generations. Hong Yun'er came over to read it together and saw that it read: "Xiao Yungui, Hong  Yun'er, you two adulterers and adulterers actually worked together to send someone to assassinate me. Fortunately, I am lucky, otherwise I would be killed by you two, and you two would be murderers!"

    Hong Yun'er felt unhappy when she saw the word "adulterer and adulteress". Xiao Yungui even cursed loudly: "Lu Sixuan, you are the adulterer and adulteress, and so are your whole family!"

    Then I looked down and saw another article: "You two want to build the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. You are doing it. I don't think the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is much more advanced than the Manchu Qing Dynasty. I still save the country according to my identity after time travel. You guys walk on your single-plank bridge.  I'm going my own way."

    Seeing this, Xiao Yungui cursed again: "Your whole family just walked on the single-plank bridge!"

    Read on: "In this troubled world, we all have to survive first, and we all have our own roles to play. It's really despicable for you to send people to assassinate you. From this moment on, we are no longer classmates, but enemies.  !¡±

    Xiao Yungui gritted his teeth and said: "I'm afraid of you, so come here, kid!"

    "Although we are in a hostile relationship, if you want to defeat the other party, please come in an open and honest manner, and you can't do assassinations secretly! Xiao Yungui, take those bastards of yours back. If you send someone to assassinate me again?Once I die, you will never know the whereabouts of Song Qingyun!  I lied to you last time. I know where Song Qingyun is. If you don¡¯t want Song Qingyun to suffer, you¡¯d better restrain yourself!  And don¡¯t force me to compile the story about you and Hong Yun¡¯er¡¯s time travel into a storytelling allegro. I don¡¯t see how you can still hang out in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom!  Don't make me anxious. If you make me anxious, I will tell you all the history I know, and no one will be able to play with it!  "

    Xiao Yungui was furious and was about to rip off the letter. Hong Yun'er hurriedly stopped him, and Xiao Yungui cursed loudly: "Our ancestors are our ancestors, how dare this kid threaten us like this!"

    Hong Yun'er said hurriedly: "Keep your voice down, people outside will hear you! If this kid really jumps over the wall in a hurry, I don't know what he will do. And Qingyun, he actually knows Qingyun's whereabouts. Read on  , look at what else is written later." (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
