Chapter 293 Who is so lucky?
Zhang Chunping's eyes widened when he heard this, and he shouted, "Cousin, you and I are not of the same kind. You go your way, and I go mine. You don't need to worry about my affairs!"
"you!"
Li Junfeng's face turned blue with anger. This guy really doesn't know what's good for him!
At this time, an old voice sounded from inside the house: "Chunping, who is talking outside? Is that Boshan?"
As the voice rang out, an old lady came out of the house. Li Junfeng quickly bowed and said, "Auntie, I greet you."
The old lady said quickly: "Boshan, you are here, why don't you come into the house? I haven't seen you for several years!"
Li Junfeng smiled bitterly and said, "Aunt, I'm here to invite my cousin Chunping. Two of my friends want to ask him to go out and do some work. You know he's been at home since he had a falling out with General Ke. It's not a good idea to just sit around and eat up all the food. How are we going to make ends meet?"
Zhang Chunping said angrily, "No, no! Cousin, I will never enter the government office again!"
"Chun Ping!"
The old lady sternly asked, "What are you so proud of? If you had the ability, you could have wiped out the Nian bandits on the front lines. If you had the ability, you could have become an admiral! Have you done what you did? You're not good at either literature or martial arts, and you have a bad temper. You even inherited your official position from your father. You can't bring glory to our family. Are you worthy of your father who died on the battlefield? Now your cousin has run around for you and personally come to invite you, but you actually turn him away. Are you trying to piss me off to death?"
Zhang Chunping was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground and stopped talking.
Li Junfeng replied, "Auntie, please don't be angry. Your health is more important. It's not worth getting angry over a scoundrel like him. After all, we are close relatives. If I don't help him, who will?"
Li Junfeng winked at Zhang Chunping and said, "Chunping, why don't you agree? This job is a godsend. I've arranged a position for you in the Governor's Office! Becoming an advisor to the Governor is an opportunity that many people can't get!"
Zhang Chunping stood up and replied, "Cousin, I appreciate your kindness, but I'm truly disillusioned with the court. There isn't a single good official in the court. They're either selfish or mediocre. Even if we brothers are full of ambition, what good will it do? Aren't you being ostracized by your colleagues?"
Li Junfeng didn't expect that Zhang Chunping would bring trouble upon himself. He was dumbfounded and didn't know what to say.
Behind him, Liu Ye smiled faintly and said, "General Zhang, is there not a single good person in the court? Perhaps not?"
Hearing this, Zhang Chunping took a look at Liu Ye. The young man in front of him was very steady and composed, with a hint of murderous intent in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows. It was obvious at a glance that this man came from the battlefield and was definitely a tough guy!
Before Zhang Chunping could say anything, the old lady beside him said, "Chunping, you have guests at home, and you don't know how to entertain them? Your cousin is one of us, so you can do whatever you want. But there are two guests here, and you have no manners at all. Why don't you invite them in?"
Zhang Chunping nodded quickly and called out, "Cousin, you two, let's go inside and talk."
Li Junfeng nodded and walked into the house with Liu Ye and Gao Qi.
Zhang Chunping said, "Cousin, I don't care if he's a governor or not. Isn't that Tan Tingxiang also a loser? In the Battle of Tianjin, he didn't even fight the foreign devils. He was so scared that he turned around and ran away. He is the ultimate loser. Such a coward is worthy of me following him? You should take back your words. Thank you."
It had only been a few days since Liu Ye arrived in Shandong to take office. Zhang Chunping had been at home all day, so naturally he had not received the news of Tan Tingxiang's resignation. He still thought that the current governor was Tan Tingxiang.
Li Junfeng said unhappily, "Why? Isn't the Futai's reputation big enough? Then tell me, what kind of person is worthy of your following? Zeng Guofan in the south? Or Prince Gong in Beijing?"
Zhang Chunping said proudly, "Cousin, it's not that there are people who are not worthy of following, but such people are rare. Forget Prince Gong in the capital. There are few Manchus who can perform well enough for me. They are all cockfighting and dog walking. Zeng Guofan can barely be considered half-worthy. However, in this great Qing Dynasty, there is only one person who can make me sincerely come out of retirement to assist him!"
Li Junfeng was stunned. My goodness, this cousin is getting more and more unruly!
"Who? Prince Gong isn't even qualified. Who else in the world has such a big face?"
"Liu Ye, the commander-in-chief of Baoding Town, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the one revered as the Flying General of the time! Only a hero like him is worthy of my following! He is invincible on the battlefield, conquering every enemy and defending the country from aggression; in the foreign affairs, he is calm and composed, and can defeat powerful enemies with just a few words. Such a person is a true hero, cousin, am I wrong? As for the others, hehe, there really is not a single one who can convince me!"
Li Junfeng's face lit up when he heard this. It was so exciting! Damn it, after all this time, he had only made things so complicated. If he had known this would happen, he would have just pushed the governor forward. What a mess! Wouldn't this troublemaker have been completely subdued?
"Brother, are you speaking from the heart?"
"Cousin, how can you say such things without thinking? Although I am arrogant, I am not a person who speaks nonsense, right?"
"Well then! Auntie, you're listening right here. If my cousin goes back on his word and makes trouble again, I'm going to beat him up!"
The old lady said angrily: "Beat him! It's time to beat him. You are the elder brother, and your uncle died early. If you don't discipline him, why are you trying to discipline him?"
Zhang Chunping was somewhat confused and asked, "Cousin, what are you doing?"
Li Junfeng laughed heartily and shouted, "Brother, you're lucky today, you bastard! Do you see this? This is the new Governor of Shandong, the Governor-General, Liu Ye! He's the flying general you want to follow! Haha, what? Why don't you go over and pay your respects?"
Zhang Chunping's mouth opened wide enough to fit a steamed bun, and he stammered, "Cousin, you're kidding me, right? He's Liu Ye? His hair hasn't even fallen out yet!"
"presumptuous!"
Gao Qi, standing by, couldn't stand it any longer and shouted, "Asshole, how dare you be so presumptuous in front of the governor and insult an important official of the imperial court? Don't you want to live anymore?"
"Gao Qi!"
Liu Ye was shocked and overjoyed. He had found another treasure today. What was Zhang Chunping saying about being unlucky? It was obviously his own unlucky self! Who among those with extraordinary talents is not so unruly?
