Tang Shaoyi has been idle at home for several months, and the Zongli Yamen has not explained the matter of North Korea's consul.

Every morning, Tang Shaoyi would always stand at the high place in the yard and look at the door, looking forward to the tolerance to come and knock on the door.

Today was as usual, Tang Shaoyi looked at the door for a while. Seeing that there was no movement, he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, thinking that he didn't know how to pass this day.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door, "Is Shaochuan at home?"

Tang Shaoyi was very familiar with the sound. He quickly ran over and opened the door and saw that it was his friend Zhan Tianyou.

"Juncheng, why are you here?"

"I'm here to congratulate you."

Zhan Tianyou sniffed his nose, smelled the fragrance of food, and immediately entered the door and rushed to the dining table in the living room like he entered his own home.

"Hey, what joy do you say?"

"I'm hungry!"

Tang Shaoyi rolled her eyes immediately, smiled helplessly, and then followed her and chased her.

Both of them are students studying in the United States. Zhan Tianyou went to the same school two years earlier than Tang Shaoyi. Although they did not attend the same school, after years of studying abroad, their thoughts did not match the domestic bureaucratic groups. Therefore, the students studying abroad formed a small circle, took care of each other, and became friends.

On the dining table, Zhan Tianyou was eating in big mouthfuls, looking very hungry. Tang Shaoyi sat aside and watched. Tang Shaoyi was full just by looking at him.

"Didn't you go to build a railway? Why did you come to me?"

"Uh~~" Zhan Tianyou burped a big loudly, looking full, leaning comfortably on the chair, and said with some enjoyment: "It's still comfortable at home, staying on the construction site every day, life is like a savage."

Tang Shaoyi smiled and said, "Do you know the hardship? You didn't do it when you asked you to stay in Huangpu Navy School to teach, and you had to ask for trouble to build the railway? You asked for trouble to yourself. Since you knew the hardship, don't do that work, it's too hard."

Zhan Tianyou smiled and said, "What I learned is railway engineering. If you ask me to go back and teach the navy, wouldn't that let Zhang Fei embroider the flowers?"

Tang Shaoyi said helplessly: "I know your ambition, but you worked hard to build the Jintang Railway, but the British finally got the credit. I'm not worth it for you!"

Zhan Tianyou said: "That was the past, but now it's different. We've met a noble person!"

Tang Shaoyiqi said: "What kind of noble people can you meet if you have no power or power?"

Zhan Tianyou didn't care and said, "Do you know Wang Chenhao?"

Tang Shaoyi said: "Is it the young young man who made a big splash in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895?"

Zhan Tianyou nodded.

Tang Shaoyi shook his head and said, "This young man is really a trick. He has a good career as a high school student. Recently, the new Zhili Army has also trained him with great success. It is rare to have such a fact at a young age."

But he retorted: "Don't give birth to the younger generation, as if you are so old? Tell you, don't say bad things about him! He is capable, but he is not relying on climbing high branches. Lord Wang's wife is just a maid in the Li family. People know him first, and Li Hongzhang takes this maid as his adopted daughter, and it is Li Hongzhang who wins over Lord Wang, but it is not Lord Wang who wins over the dragon and phoenix!"

Tang Shaoyi looked at Zhan Tianyou in surprise and said, "Fatty Zhan, you are so angry that you haven't seen him for a year? What benefits did Wang Chenhao give you? How could you say good things to him like this?"

Zhan Tianyou bowed to the north with a fist and said proudly: "I thank you Lord Wang to respect you, and the position of the railway general office from Tianjin to Shanhaiguan is to be held responsible."

Tang Shaoyi couldn't help but look at Zhan Tianyou in surprise and smiled, "Didn't you see it? Fatty Zhan, you are getting older now!"

Zhan Tianyou smiled and said, "We are lucky in thirty years, Hedong and thirty years, Hexi. We didn't give gifts to Lord Wang, nor did we flatter him, nor did we know anyone we know to get along with him. Lord Wang is only talented, and if we don't get along with us, we will help us recommend it in front of Lord Li Zhongtang. We have to take this position to us. We must remember this kindness."

Tang Shaoyi was happy that Zhan Tianyou could stand out, but this guy came to show off when he was idle at home, which made him feel a little unhappy and said, "You fat man have made a fortune. Come here, I'm so ugly, right? What's ours? Is it all about me?"

Seeing that Tang Shaoyi was angry, Zhan Tianyou knew that it was time to stop the joke and to be serious, so he took out a gold-hot dragon pattern guard from his sleeve and smiled and said, "Since Shaochuan said it has nothing to do with you, we have to send it back to Lord Wang. Hi, it's just a pity that this sacrificial minister to the United States!"

When Tang Shaoyi saw the Dragon Pattern Pass Defense, he thought it was Zhan Tianyou who took out his own troops. He was about to get angry but heard that he was the Minister of the sacrificial power to the United States. This must have nothing to do with Zhan Tianyou! Thinking of Zhan Tianyou's sudden visit, he said that he was coming. Could it be that this Pass Defense was for him?

Thinking of this, Tang Shaoyi took it over to guard the guard. When he opened it, he saw that it was written on it, including the plenipotentiary ambassador of the Qing Empire to the United States and the Consul General of New York. There were several large gilded characters in Manchuria, Chinese and English languages. The three characters Tang Shaoyi were written on it.

Seeing this, Tang Shaoyi couldn't hide his joy and excitement. He looked at Zhan Tianyou and Guan Fang for a while, but he couldn't speak for a long time.

Zhan Tianyou was just deliberately joking with Tang Shaoyi before, and now he couldn't help but show a happy expression on behalf of his friend, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Shaochuan for becoming the youngest plenipotentiary ambassador to the United States in the Qing Dynasty! You are much more majestic than me now!"

Zhan Tianyou thought of Tang Shaoyi talking about Fatty Zhan, a fat man, and now he said to me as a revenge.

Tang Shaoyi was happy for a while, and suddenly thought that the big pie that fell from the sky was a little sudden. Tang Shaoyi had a question, so he asked Zhan Tianyou: "Zuncheng, what's going on?"

Zhan Tianyou gave him a blank look and said, "I told me just now that I was useless? You are so smart, but you didn't even realize it?"

Tang Shaoyi suddenly asked in surprise: "Is it him? Lord Wang Chenhao?"

Zhan Tianyou nodded.

Tang Shaoyi said in confusion: "But I have never known him, why should I help me like this? This ambassador to the United States is a third-rank official. Wouldn't it be that I was promoted to three levels in a row?"

The Qing Dynasty's ambassadors usually went from the third rank to the fourth rank, and the emperor was selected from the first rank, the second rank, and the important part was the second rank, and the third rank. The ambassadors to the United States should have been the third rank, but Tang Shaoyi was only from the fourth rank, and was able to obtain the third rank, which was the first time.

Zhan Tianyou smiled and said, "I have been promoted to four levels in a row! As for why Lord Wang values ​​us so much, it may be because we have the ability to do things!"

"You really don't blush?" Tang Shaoyi couldn't help but hit Zhan Tianyou, but it is undeniable that he thought so in his heart. Apart from his ability, there was no other reason to explain it.

Zhan Tianyou looked at the time and said, "I ran back from the construction site just to remind you that those of us who came back from overseas are just like stepmothers who have no power and power. It is too difficult to make a comeback. Why is Mr. Wang also a hero? He respects us so much and uses us so much, and we have to take care of it."

It was because of his deep friendship that he said it so bluntly. How could Tang Shaoyi not understand? So he smiled and said, "I understand! I will go to Tianjin before taking office!"
