(2nd Update)

Xiaode Zhang can be left and right in the officialdom at the end of the Qing Dynasty, relying on Longyu, relying on her to peddle favors, relying on her to grab benefits, and relying on her to sell power, but since he broke with Yi-Liang and ceded power, his biggest cash cow seems to have been cut off, and his value has dropped sharply.

Holding this useless dead signboard, Xiao Dezhang actually needs the other party more than Ye Kai.

"Brother wants to meet the Queen Mother?" His question was a little urgent, with a faint impatience.

"Hmm" Ye Kai nodded, expressing this meaning straightforwardly, "Can Gonggong De do it?" ”

"No problem, no problem."

Xiao Dezhang nodded again and again, reached out and kicked the jade bracelet and the belt in his pocket, this is a fair exchange, there is no need to fake it.

"Dare to ask Brother Liang why he wants to meet the Queen Mother, there must always be a reason for me to report" Xiao Dezhang continued, "Besides, Brother Liang's identity is really not easy to handle."

Xiao Dezhang touched his chin, this kind of gesture Ye Kai can understand, he has resigned from all official positions, and now to put it bluntly, he is a special civilian, and the civilian seems to be difficult to enter the palace.

Ye Kai said: "Father-in-law De doesn't have to be embarrassed, Liangbi has thought of this a long time ago, today Liangbi was awarded the official mission of the governor of Liangjiang, and he was planning to resign to the queen mother." ”

Whether or not to resign has nothing to do with the Queen Mother, but there is this high-sounding reason.

"Since that's the case, it's easy to do, hey, good brother, this is a high promotion!" Xiao Dezhang suddenly showed joy, not only because Ye Kai was promoted to the governor of Liangjiang, but also because he was happy to have such an "ally", a governor with real power was far more useful than a well-known commoner.

"We are all working for the Queen Mother, and the bigger the official, the better." Ye Kai said hypocritically.

"Who said no, that's good, good brother, this matter is on me, and I can see the Queen Mother the day after tomorrow at the earliest." Xiao De said.

"Thank you, father-in-law," Ye Kai arched his hand, "There is another important matter, which requires some help from father-in-law." ”

"Dude, but it's okay to say." After getting the benefits, Xiao Dezhang became more and more generous, "As long as Brother Liang wants something, even if it is locked in the palace, I will steal it." ”

"Haha, it's serious, that can make Father-in-law De take danger alone, this matter is actually a trivial matter." Ye Kai said slowly: "Liangbi is the governor of Liangjiang this time, and he will leave Beijing in a few days, and I am afraid that he will not be able to return within half a year. ”

On this trip to the south of the Yangtze River, the family members naturally can't all be taken with them, and they take their family members privately, which is a taboo for courtiers, although the capital is guarded by a security bureau 24 hours a day, Ye Kai is not so worried about their life safety, he is worried about political security.

At the moment, Yi-Xuan held great power and controlled the supreme authority of the empire, and both men knew that such cooperation was only a colossal affair, and once the former sat firmly on the throne, the elimination of dissidents would follow, and then a public rupture would be inevitable.

Regarding Ye Kai's concerns, Xiao Dezhang agreed very simply.

"Don't worry, brother, don't look at us as a rootless person, but put our family in front, you just have to go, your family is my family, if something happens to them, our head will follow."

"Thank you, father-in-law."

Ye Kai thanked him and finished tasting the residual tea on the table with peace of mind

After talking to Xiao Dezhang, Ye Kai returned home in the evening, and at the same time brought the news of his reappearance.

It's a big deal, and in Liangfu, that's the biggest thing.

When he leaves, there will inevitably be people who will stay, someone who will follow, and who will stay and who will follow, which is a big problem.

For this reason, Ye Kai summoned the whole family over, saying that it was the whole family, but in fact, there were only three of them, Lan Niang, Han Chun'er, Han Cuier, and the choice of who to stay was among the three of them.

Ye Kai didn't speak first, just briefly recounted the news that he was leaving, and then remained silent.

There was some silence in the room, and the three people on the other side knew that the lord was also very embarrassed about this matter, so he handed over the rights to them, and saw what they said, and finally they negotiated independently.

"Sister, I'll stay, you go to Jiangning with the master, there are many things up and down the Liangfu, my sister is sick, and I can't take care of so much." Han Cuier said softly, in the past two years, Liangfu has been taken care of by her, and when she leaves, Liangfu really has a tendency to be chaotic, although she really wants to follow Ye Kai, but she can't "fight" for this kind of thing, the reputation is there, she can only "respect".

"Sister, I've thought about it in my heart, but I haven't said it, I'm afraid that if I say it first, I'll be disgusted again." Lan Niang said, stood up, and took Han Cui'er's hand, since the latter's position changed, the two have been called sisters, "It's better for you to go with the master, it's good to have a care along the way, my sick body, everywhere I go, it's a drag." ”

Lan Niang sighed, Ye Kai looked at her and did not speak.

"Good sister, the master will be handed over to you to take care of, you know the master, the master also treats you, making the master happy is our greatest blessing"

"Sister, sister can't"

Before she finished speaking, Lan Niang sealed her lips with her hand and whispered a few words in Han Chun'er's ear, the latter did not squeak and nodded silently, "Sister girl knows"

"Good sister, the master will leave it to you."

Lan Niang sat back in her place, with a smile on her face, Han Cui'er was silent, she didn't dare to look at Ye Kai, nor Lan Niang, she stared at the ground alone.

Lan Niang stayed, Han Cuier left with Ye Kai, both of them expressed their positions, only Han Chun'er did not speak in the room, he was Ye Kai's right-hand man, he was determined to leave, everyone had no opinion, even Ye Kai was so determined at the beginning, but now he has changed his mind.

"Chun'er, you stay, take care of Madame, take care of Liangfu, and the three Gege, no one can be fine, you know?"

"Chun'er understands"

Han Chun'er nodded, he didn't need to be surprised, he didn't need to question, he just needed to do as he was told, but Lan Niang's eyes were slightly red, he knew Ye Kai's intention to arrange it like this.

"Chun'er, be smart, if you encounter any major events, you must report to me quickly, in case there are unforeseen circumstances in a day, remember, you have to find Xiao Dezhang."

Han Chun'er remembered all this, and before leaving Beijing, this may be the last order.

"There are three more days, let's go and prepare."

After speaking, Ye Kai was the first to leave, and no one looked at it, and the inexplicable emotions made him uncomfortable

In the middle of the night, the lights of Liangfu were turned off, and the only way to distinguish the road was by the faint moonlight.

"It's old, huh"

A woman sat in front of the lamp, her makeup was loose, her hair was quietly combed, and between the jagged wooden teeth, there were a few gray hairs.

Ye Kai pushes the door, extremely light, very light. (To be continued.) )
