Chapter 36: The Queen
"Of course I rejected him." Shen Siyuan lay on the sofa and said to Dai Wenguang.
Dai Wenguang gave him an unsurprising expression. He was wearing home clothes, because he had just taken a shower, and his bangs that had not dried hung down on the side, he looked a lot younger.
"Actually, aside from the fact that I don't want to talk about feelings, he is not my ideal type, and he has no common language at all." Shen Siyuan spread out his hand, looking helpless, "He Chen is too young and naΓ―ve, and he is a child who doesn't grow up at all. And seriously, what is there about him that I like right now? I hadn't even thought about being with him...... Of course, I didn't think he would think that way about me, he probably did it on a whim? β
Shen Siyuan said these old-fashioned words with a childish face, which inexplicably made Dai Wenguang feel a little awkward, he leaned against the cabinet, took a sip of coffee, shrugged his shoulders, and said noncommittally: "I can't say, sometimes the things that are recognized at this age will last a lifetime...... But that's not what you said to him, did you? β
"Oh, no, of course not." Shen Siyuan smiled and said, "But I refused very simply, since I can't agree to him, don't leave him with any illusions, at least that's what I think." He Chen should also understand what I mean, although this is probably difficult for him to accept, after all, he is a very proud person. β
For some reason, he remembered his days when he was in the Free Commonwealth.
He Chen's methods of pursuing him were as good as He Chen's, almost to the point of madness, as if he had to look at the entire universe.
But it seems that he himself does not have that much charisma, and Roger's focus should be more on mechas.
So after his attitude of refusal is not so clear, he will get into a series of troubles later.
Experiencing the same thing in such a similar time, Shen Siyuan didn't want to repeat the mistakes of the past, once he broke the thread because of his soft heart, He Chen would be hurt even more.
"Shen." Dai Wenguang's sudden voice pulled Shen Siyuan's thoughts back all of a sudden.
Shen Siyuan raised his head: "Huh?" β
Dai Wenguang stood very casually, and his demeanor was also very relaxed: "If, I mean if." If Chenchen's personality was not like this, but as mature and steady as his brother, would you consider him? β
"No, it won't." Shen Siyuan replied quickly.
He sighed, a little distraught, thinking of the little marmoset he had returned to.
At first, he was embarrassed because he rejected the other party, but after He Chen took it away. He became interested in this cute little thing, and searched for information about marmosets.
He originally thought it was a common small domestic pet in this era, but the words of endangered animals in the entry overturned his idea.
He Chen's identity is too different from him, and it is such a valuable gift as soon as he makes a move.
Shen Siyuan himself used to belong to the privileged class, but his so-called privileges were not worth mentioning compared to He Chen.
What ordinary people can't touch in their lifetime, maybe he can do it lightly with just one sentence, just as he can smash Lu Qiu Zeyang's limited sports car without fear.
He probably couldn't fit into He Chen's circle.
What He Chen is good at is what he doesn't understand; And what he grasped was also something He Chen didn't understand.
Why do they have to force their intersection when they are supposed to be two parallel lines that do not interfere with each other?
Dai Wenguang looked at him inquiringly.
"Didn't I tell you just now, I didn't think about the emotional side of things, it was too troublesome for me, there was no need at all. Growing up with me was my smart phone, so I'm used to living alone, and it's the same for me whether I'm married or not. Shen Siyuan smiled and said, "Besides, aren't you also single?" β
"Me?" Dai Wenguang pointed to his nose in surprise and said with a smile, "I'm different from you." β
Dai Wenguang's words obviously had a story in them, and Shen Siyuan wasn't sure if he wanted to ask.
Fortunately, Dai Wenguang took the initiative to open the conversation box, and he didn't seem to mind his past.
"I'm divorced." He said.
Shen Siyuan was stunned: "Huh? β
"Actually, it's not a complicated thing." Dai Wenguang walked over and put the coffee on the coffee table.
Then he sat on the sofa and pulled his sagging bangs back to his head, revealing a smooth forehead, which looked very ascetic and unapproachable.
He picked up the cigarette he threw on the coffee table and glanced at Shen Siyuan, Shen Siyuan shook his head and said that he didn't mind, so he lit one.
Dai Wenguang seemed to be caught in some kind of memory, his eyes stared ahead without focus, he took a deep breath, and said: "It's very busy to do what we do, you know, you have also been in the National Security Bureau for so many days." Since the day I started working, I haven't had much rest, and I can be considered to have sold my whole body to TΓΊrin. So at that time, I thought the same as you now, I didn't think that I would get involved with people and get married, and I felt very unnecessary. Most importantly, I don't have time to take care of each other. β
Shen Siyuan listened quietly.
"At that time, I lived the same life as an ordinary bachelor, and Maple once went to my house to pick up something, and was startled by the 'pomp' in my house, and forced me to clean up, and of course he also helped me a lot and scolded me." Speaking of this, Dai Wenguang suddenly laughed, and his tone was obviously much gentler.
The smoke blurred his face, making it impossible for Shen Siyuan to see his expression clearly: "Then I met my ex-wife, and she pursued me first, I don't know why she likes me, because she is a very good person." This flattered me, so I quickly married her, after all, I was in my 30s by then, and it was time to find someone to settle down. β
"After marrying her, I had a very happy time, which I couldn't experience when I was single, and there was a sense of fulfillment that kept me motivated every day. Soon she got pregnant, we were both so happy that she even started planning for the future of the baby. β
This was supposed to be a very happy story, Shen Siyuan thought, but its twist should also happen here?
Sure enough, Dai Wenguang continued.
But by that time, the Cabinet and the royal family had torn their faces, and Maple had been transferred from the Intelligence Bureau. It was the busiest time for the NSA, and I slept in the NSA for about the time. After she became pregnant, she always asked me to spend more time with her, but this was obviously unlikely, and I would block my personal phone calls as soon as I was busy, so she would inevitably be resentful if I was too busy. β
"One day she had a very severe fever, and I was worried that something would happen to her, so I took a leave of absence to accompany her, and she was very happy that day. But it just so happened that it wasn't long before I got a call from Maple that he had been in a car accident and I had to go back and take over his job. But if my ex-wife doesn't agree, we'll ...... There was a quarrel. The end result, I think you can guess. β
Shen Siyuan was silent.
"Although I knew that the relationship of a pregnant woman was not very stable, I did not expect that after I left home, she would go to the hospital to terminate her pregnancy, when she was less than three months pregnant and did not need to go through any formalities. What's even more incomprehensible to me is that she thinks that I am often away from home because of cheating, and thinks that all my reasons are excuses......" When it comes to this incident, Dai Wenguang's face is calm, and these old events seem to be unable to make any waves in his heart.
"She walked very simply, and threw everything about her out. After all these years, I haven't heard anything from her. It would have been easy for me to find out what she had done, but I never had the courage to do so, what if she now had a new family? β
Shen Siyuan didn't know how to answer, so he could only listen to him carefully.
"I always hope that he will come back to me, life needs surprises. If one day, I don't work anymore, I can take him to some border town to live in isolation. Live in a pristine cabin, raise a few small animals, and hunt on your back. gun, went out hunting with the hound, and he waited for me at home. Every day the sun rises and the sun sets. Dai Wenguang smiled freely, sounding very longing for that kind of life, "It's like there are only two of us in the world." β
"If she knew that you were like this, she would definitely forgive you, good luck, Director Dai."
Dai Wenguang just smiled and didn't answer.
Emperor's Office.
Li Jingshan put a list on He Yuanzheng's desk.
He Yuanzheng opened it expressionlessly, and a string of officers' names were written on it.
"Last month, the queen asked me to pull out the nails of the military department, who are you going to get rid of?" Li Jingshan sat down opposite He Yuanzheng, "In the afternoon, I will go to the National Security Bureau to hand over the list to him." β
He Yuanzheng's pen lightly tapped on the pure black marble tabletop, and after carefully reading everyone's names, he drew two bars on it, pushed the list back, and said, "Throw this first, and we'll clean up the rest." β
He drew the lieutenant colonel who had reported the news that day.
Li Jingshan was not surprised by He's decision.
After a while, He Yuanzheng found that Li Jingshan had no intention of leaving, and asked, "Is there something?" β
Li Jingshan seemed to be in some kind of thinking, and was interrupted by the emperor's mouth, and stood up suddenly: "Oh, let's go." β
He Yuanzheng didn't look at him either, and casually pinched the center of a stack of texts, paused twice on the table, and made a dull sound.
Li Jingshan stared at He Yuanzheng, and suddenly felt that the list in his hand was as heavy as a thousand pounds.
He Yuanzheng glanced at him and put the sorted Wen JiΓ n aside.
"If you have a fart, don't stay here, your Southwest Command is very idle?"
Li Jingshan didn't care about He Yuanzheng's words, and said bluntly: "How long do you plan to hide it from him?" β
He Yuanzheng obviously didn't want to talk about this topic, and said impatiently: "I didn't plan to sue him. β
"Don't you think too much of yourself?"
"I've already made him resign."
"Huh, resign?" Li Jingshan sneered, "Lao Tzu has known you since he wore open crotch pants, and when you pout your ass, Lao Tzu knows what shit you are going to pull, He Yuanzheng." β
Li Jingshan threw the briefcase on his desk violently, and said aggressively: "Ningxi's base has been exposed, if he really starts to doubt, you can hide it for a few days, do you really think you can hide it?" You can deceive him now, isn't it just that you are his husband, and he believes you unconditionally? β
"If you can hide it for one more day, I won't let him interfere!"
He Yuanzheng knew that it was only a matter of time before Xu Linfeng found out what was behind him, and his more than 20 years of relationship made him extremely clear about Xu Linfeng's wrists.
Everyone knows that he He Yuanzheng is the emperor of the Tulin Empire, holding great power, and heaven and man return. As the queen, Xu Linfeng doesn't have much sense of existence, he almost doesn't appear in public, and many people don't even know what he looks like.
When it comes to the queen, it is nothing more than two words, mysterious and low-key.
So many years have passed since that bloody storm, so much so that many people have forgotten that the three words Xu Linfeng were the nightmare of all high-ranking officials.
When He Yuanzheng first ascended the throne, TΓΊrin was not a dual monarchy, and the supreme command of the army had been taken away by the prime minister, and the imperial power was completely reduced to an ornament.
The decline of the royal family began a hundred years ago, and there was even no shortage of collaborators within the family, so that it is now difficult to stop the decline.
The relationship between the cabinet and the imperial family was increasingly strained, and He Yuanzheng was tired of mediating with various forces, but he was always in the middle of the bucket. At that time, he seemed to be trapped on an island in the middle of the vast sea, alone and helpless.
On the eve of He Chen's birth, it was even more tense, and there was even a voice for He Yuanzheng to step down.
And what Ling He Yuanzheng never expected was that someone would kill Xu Linfeng.
It was a phone call like a bolt from the blue - Xu Linfeng had a car accident on the road.
The three vehicles involved in the accident all rushed out of the viaduct, two died on the spot, and Xu Linfeng was sent to the hospital for rescue.
He Yuanzheng could no longer remember how he got to the hospital, he squatted on the ground in a daze, and He Yi, who was only seven years old, thought that he would never see his mother again, and wailed and cried beside him, making him distraught and unable to think.
The clues of a qiΔ all indicate that the car accident was not an accident, but a deliberate murder by someone.
This accident almost crushed him, why should he take revenge on Xu Linfeng for his contradictions with the cabinet?
In the process of the operation, He Chenshun was born, and Xu Linfeng was rescued and finally turned around. After knowing the result, He Yuanzheng almost lost his footing.
What was even more unexpected was that this was not the end of the struggle, but the beginning of another storm.
A few days later, Xu Linfeng woke up from a coma, and he didn't care to let Rang He Yuanzheng take him to a certain safe house.
He Yuanzheng thought that he was busy with work again, so he rejected him with righteous words.
Unexpectedly, Xu Linfeng's attitude was unprecedentedly tough: "This is a matter of Tulin's survival, I must go." β
Xu Linfeng would never exaggerate, He Yuanzheng didn't say a word after hearing this, and immediately took him away.
He Yuanzheng will not forget that day, Xu Linfeng's face was still sickly pale, and his voice was extremely weak, sounding more gentle and harmless than usual.
But the moment he opened the safe, it made people feel that he was clearly holding a sharp sword in his hand.
Xu Linfeng took out a stack of photos and bank statements, each of which was labeled with a corresponding label, and the prime minister's name was prominently listed.
"Here are the records of the income and expenditure of all the members of the cabinet, some of them have mistresses outside, and some of them have illegitimate children, and some of them are corrupt and abuse of power, which can shuffle the cabinet. I also have a memory card with a record of the communications between Bruno and Admiral Garth, who had contacted the Ethiopian intelligence officer through an intermediary and intercepted it this year. I'll leave it all to you now, and in a while send them to court-martial. There is also the major general who committed treason last year, which has been secretly solved by the Intelligence Bureau, whether to announce this news or not, you can decide for yourself. β
He Yuanzheng was extremely shocked.
And Xu Linfeng didn't seem to notice the turbulent waves in He Yuanzheng's heart, and his calm tone seemed to be discussing the recent weather: "I will contact a few of my classmates later, they are now engaged in the media." I'll let them feature the case, and when the time comes, I'll push you out β haven't you been to the front? Making more fuss about this can give you the support of the people. Then write a few more editorials on the return of military power to the royal family, guide and control public opinion, and tell the public that only in this way can it best be contained*. β
"Our country's submarines are shortcomings, you take this to negotiate with the people from the military department......" Xu Linfeng pushed a mobile hard drive in front of He Yuanzheng with a gentle expression, "This is all the information on the unpublished submarines of the United Elite States, I got their technology." β
At that time, Xu Linfeng had just been transferred from the Intelligence Bureau to the National Security Bureau for less than a year.
After this conversation, He Yuanzheng also understood why someone wanted to kill Xu Linfeng.
It's a miracle that he had these things in his hands and didn't have an accident until today.
There were too many knives hanging over his head, and each one was crumbling.
But Xu Linfeng never sued him.
He doesn't say how much he has paid, how much he has put in, how much he has sacrificed. He only delivered an absolutely brilliant result and then silently retreated behind him.
That day, He Yuanzheng finally knew what kind of person he had married and returned home.
Without Xu Linfeng, there would be no current He dynasty.
"Li Jingshan, I don't want to repeat the mistakes of the past, as long as I live for one day, I won't put him in danger." He Yuanzheng looked at Li Jingshan calmly, and there seemed to be a burning flame in his deep gaze, "So, I will never tell him the truth." β
"Aren't you afraid that he will turn his face against you?"
He Yuanzheng said in a deep voice: "I'd rather he hate me." β
