Xuan Hongtao knew that Xuan Yuemeng and Li Hongzhang had a major conflict, and was worried that Li Hongzhang would take the opportunity to kill him or use him to coerce Yuemeng. He was not stupid. "Master Zhongtang, I am tired recently, and I am afraid I am sick. Besides, Lord Chen is very clear about my abilities. I don't know Japanese and are not familiar with diplomacy. How can I be responsible for such a big deal with Japan?"

Li Hongzhang snorted, revealing his fierce look, "That's what you, the fifth-rank chief of the Tianjin Customs Bureau? Just getting the salary from the court, have you never thought about solving the problems of the court? Don't forget, if it weren't for that day! After the headquarters signed a contract with the Japanese, you recommended you to the court. Why do you become the fifth-rank chief of the fifth-rank chief of the Jin Customs Bureau? This Tianjin Customs Bureau is a good yamen that everyone envies. You can go directly to the center! If you retreat, you can go out to the place, and at least you will be promoted to a fourth-rank. Advance and retreat are all beautiful and bad! Can't you take any responsibility? What's the use of the court raising a mediocre person like you?"

Xuan Hongtao was so scared that he sweated heavily at that time. He felt sweat all over his body, and he felt very uncomfortable when he was close to his body. It was only March, so why did it feel like the steamer weather in July and August? Please read ∮Book ＷｗΩＷｩ．

Xuan Hongtao stuttered, "I dare not, I dare not, Lord Zhongtang is too heavy, Xuan Hongtao really can't bear it! It's because I'm a little ignorant and unfit. Lord Zhongtang still wants to choose someone else, right? I really can't do such a big thing independently."

Sheng Xuanhuai frowned and said sternly: "Xuan Hongtao, why didn't you accept the orders of Lord Zhongtang? You are a small fifth-rank official, Lord Zhongtang talks in person. Do you dare not obey? Don't plan to become this official? Do you really think you are a royal relative? What a thing! Don't be shameless!"

Chen Qin had already seen that Lord Li Zhongtang wanted Xuan Hongtao as a shield. Chen Qin knew that Xuan Hongtao had a good son, and using Xuan Hongtao as a shield was the right person. Whether Xuan Hongtao solved this matter, it was the best. Everyone had made contributions. Naturally, he would still make great contributions by Lord Zhongtang. If Xuan Hongtao could not solve it, it would be better. He could use Xuan Hongtao to take action and beat his son hard. Everyone knows that the cute young master of Tianjin is already the richest man in the Qing Dynasty!

Chen Qin snorted, then Sheng Xuanhuai said, "Xuan Hongtao, what are you doing? You dare to shirk responsibility from the orders of the Lord Zhongtang? Tell you that even if you abandon your official position, you have to do this well! The official hat of the Qing Dynasty cannot be thrown away by just throwing it away. If you neglect your duties, you know what the crime is, right?"

After being threatened by Li Hongzhang, Sheng Xuanhuai and Chen Qin, Xuan Tao was not very brave at first, but now he was almost scared to death. He had to kneel down and said, "Xuan Hongtao followed the orders of Lord Zhongtang. Please read the book W÷ｗ∫�Ω.ΩＱingKanShu．cC"

Li Hongzhang snorted coldly, "You have to consider the importance of this matter yourself! Our department will report to the court today, and the memorial will indicate your request to take on this important task. If something goes wrong with the Japanese about re-discussing subscription matters, your son who is a sure prince-in-law, and your father who is still dreaming of being a governor at home will not be able to protect you!"

Xuan Hongtao's tears came down at that time, and was so scared that he almost fainted on the spot. As Lord Li Zhongtang's status, he said such words to him as a fifth-rank official, that is, he wanted to make his mistakes publicly! This is a public post to Xiang Xuan's family!

Thinking of Yuemeng offending Lord Li Zhongtang, who is now in power, Xuan Hongtao only felt darkness in front of him!

Xuan Hongtao didn't remember how he got home. He just felt like he was filled with lead, and was carried into a sedan chair by two servants who were accompanying him. Please read the book Wｗ∮�Ω.

When the gatekeeper saw that the old man was crying silently, he was shocked. He didn't know what big thing happened, so seven or eight people hurriedly helped the old man into the mansion.

Xuan Yuewu's wife gave birth to a grandson, and a bunch of women were teasing the children, laughing and laughing.

Although Xuan Zonglu doesn't like children, since she met a genius like Xuan Yuemeng, she has no idea of ​​looking down on children anymore. She actually teased her grandson with Xuan Zhou.

"I wonder if this child can be like Yuemeng?" Xuan Zonglu murmured to herself as she looked at her grandson who had just been born.

Xuan Zhou looked at the little grandson. It was fun to be crazy, but with his eyes closed, he was a little stupid. How could he be as squinting as when Xuan Yuemeng was born?

Xuan Zhou couldn't help rolling his eyes at Xuan Zonglu, "Are you thinking that there are children like Yuemeng everywhere? There has never been one in the entire history of Yuemeng for ten thousand years. Otherwise, the two empress dowagers and the emperor would choose our Yuemeng as the prince?"

Xuan Huang also smiled and said, "Yes, I can't expect every child to be like Yuemeng. Yuemeng is just two years old, so she is now an uncle."

Xuan Yuewu's wife nodded and said, "I don't expect this child to be like Yuemeng. If he is one tenth of Yuemeng, I will be very happy. Yuemeng becomes a scholar in one year old. It would be great if this child can become a scholar in ten years old."

"It must be! The descendants of my Xuan family are very smart! There must be no problem for the scholar in the ten-year-old!" Xuan Zong said with a laugh.

Xuan Yuelei next to him was feeling uncomfortable, and Xuan Yuelei was still studying hard at home. "All the descendants of your Xuan family are smart? Then Yuewen, Yuewu, and Yuehua and Yue6, who are three bedrooms, are not young anymore. Why aren't anyone a scholar?"

Xuan Zonglu was confronted by Xuan Yuelei and suddenly became angry, "It's outrageous. Do you dare to talk to your grandfather like this?"

Xuan Yuelei's wife knew that Xuan Yuelei was not stubborn and hurriedly said, "Old Master, Yuelei can't speak, don't blame him."

Xuan Yuelei's wife is Xiao Cui, the maid who was originally in the room. She has been with Xuan Zhou, the old lady of Xuan family since she was a child. Xuan Zhou also helped persuade him, "Yes, don't be angry with your grandson, Yuelei just talks casually."

Xuan Zonglu snorted, but she was still angry. The old man had a too big temper.

That is, the cute young master can eat and live in Xuan Zonglu.

At this moment, Xuan Hongtao was supported by a group of servants and entered the inner courtyard.

Xuan Huang was shocked, "What's wrong with this? What's wrong with your uncle?"

"I don't know, it's like this that the uncle came out of the yamen!" the follower replied.

Xuan Zonglu was also nervous. With the old man's rich experience in officialdom, he knew that something must have happened, so he hurriedly asked: "Hong Tao, what's wrong? What happened?"

Xuan Hongtao was fine outside. When he went home to see his father, he was like seeing his backer. He suddenly cried like a child, but he still couldn't help but cry. (To be continued.)
