Chapter Thirty-Nine: A Game Thousands of Miles Away
(The second more arrives,Big guy by the way,Recommend a handful,^6^)
Shu Qing'a may have doubts about why Ye Kai first pointed the knife at the Jingshi Telegraph Bureau, especially closely monitoring the telegrams sent from a specific location, but doubts are doubts, he will still faithfully carry out Ye Kai's orders, because he doesn't need to think, just a soldier who does what he wants, and the person standing in front of him, in addition to being a soldier, is also a politician and has a place in the broader political arena.
Maybe one day Ye Kaihui will give him a reason for doing this, provided that at that time, the former was already his henchman, and now no one can say it except himself, and he doesn't know where the words are floating when they come out of his mouth, and this uncertainty means danger.
If anyone in Zhangde, Henan Province is still a little sensitive to this location, they should know that thousands of miles away by the Huanshang River, a powerful minister who once occupied most of the imperial court is holding a fishing rod in his hand and wearing a hat, like a fisherman, leisurely idyllic.
The place he chose was not so much a place of retreat, but a place of dormancy, the Jinghan Railway built a platform in front of him, the local telegraph office set up wires for him, and in the small Huanshang Village, there was actually a telegraph room, a translation hall, and the sound of ticking telegrams, from morning to outside, endlessly, it became a miniature version of the Beiyang nest.
A series of measures made Yuan Shikai fully aware of the real-time dynamics that took place in the capital, and, through the open mouth of the Beiyang Group, he continued to exert political influence on the weak empire thousands of miles away.
Ye Kai knows very well that Yuan Shikai will not be willing to be a "fishing elder", and he must always be vigilant enough against this giant of the times who will call for wind and rain in the future.
Of course, in addition to this, there is another important reason, the reason why he wants to attack the telegraph office is to point the spearhead at Chen Bi, the secretary of the Ministry of Posts and Communications.
Ordinary impeachment is not painful, if you want to pull him off the horse, Ye Kai knows what is the most deadly, just like Tie Liang, but when it comes to the issue of forming a party and seeking power, it will definitely arouse the regent sitting in the Forbidden City to be highly protective of power, and this is a fierce medicine that kills people.
"Yuan Dajunji, although the fishing rod is long, don't break the line."
Ye Kai sneered, and joked in his heart, as a scheming political player, Yuan Shikai can indeed be regarded as an equal opponent, but it is a pity, because of this traverser who stepped on bugs, the position he stood on was always parallel to God.
Coming out of the gate of the military advisory office, Ye Kai's mood was very relaxed, different from the caution in the Qianqing Palace, thinking twice, every breath he took was as he wanted, in this area he created single-handedly, there was a kind of aura of dominance in every gesture, he looked back, and gradually disappeared in the night of the military advisory office, there was already a rough prototype of the staff headquarters.
"Chun'er, let's go home."
Glancing at Han Chun'er, who was already waiting there, Ye Xingxing commanded comfortably
Ye Kai was lying on the recliner in the room, his eyes were half-closed, shaking and shaking, enjoying the ease and comfort coming from his body with peace of mind, next to him, Lan Niang was sitting on the edge of the bed embroidering needlework, these days, Ye Kai rarely had free time.
When he came back from the Military Advisory Office, he first asked Han Chun'er to find Sheng Xuanhuai, and on the issue of the secret entry of the intelligence department personnel into the Beijing Division Telegraph Bureau, the latter agreed to give convenience, which was also regarded as Ye Kai's small wish, after doing this, he had nothing important on hand, and in a few days, it was the day when the Praetorian Guard began training, taking advantage of this rare free time, he had been at home, accompanying Lan Niang and a group of little girls.
"Master, you have this purse with you." Lan Niang took the embroidered purse and shook it on the beginning of the leaf, looking serious, "There is also a peace charm in it, which I and Cui Yatou asked for the master in Guanghua Temple." ”
"It's not going to war, so there's no need for this." Ye Kai replied lazily, his eyes were half-open, seeing that Lan Niang's body was recovering well, he was happy in his heart.
"Just stay in the suburbs of Beijing, and you can come back three or five times a month, so you don't have to rush me out in such a hurry." Ye Kai waved his hand and pushed the purse indiscriminately.
"Sir!" Unexpectedly, this small action stabbed the basket, Lan Niang stomped her foot, and said with some anger on her face: "After several days of hard work, it is not as light as the master's words, then good, let the girls bring this purse." ”
Hearing this, Ye Kai was both amused and helpless, so he had to rely on this woman's kindness and respectfully admire the purse on his body.
"What kind of liver fire, okay, I'll just bring it." Ye Kai said with a hippie smile, it is rare to have such an opportunity to beg for mercy from people.
"It's really rare to see this appearance of the master, and it seems that only the lady can see it."
With a "squeak", Han Cuier pushed the door in, looking at the appearance of the two, she smiled and quipped, dragging a leather suitcase in her hand.
"Master, I'm really miserable, and even the green girl has seen it now." Hearing Ye Kai's sarcastic voice, Lan Niang and Han Cui'er both covered their mouths and laughed.
"Huh? Cui girl, what are you holding in your hand? Seeing the box in Han Cui'er's hand, Ye Kai asked curiously.
"This is the dress that the lady asked the girl to prepare for the master." Han Cuier opened the boxes and placed them in front of Lan Niang one by one, "Madam, are you ready to see if you have it again?" ”
Looking at these clothes, a black line floated across Ye Kai's face, it seems that women are still worried about these things.
"Cui girl, you are taking care of the master during this time, you have a good memory, you take a look." Lan Niang looked around, looked at Han Cuier in front of her, and said with a smile.
"Madam, the girl has counted, these seven or eight clothes are enough for the master to wear for a while."
Naturally, she was relieved of the Cui girl, Lan Niang nodded with satisfaction, and then suddenly sighed and said to herself: "If only the Cui girl could follow her and wash the master, it would be good, otherwise there would not even be a caring person to serve." ”
As soon as Lan Niang's words came out, Han Cuier's face flushed slightly, and she immediately turned her face sideways, and suddenly, a man and a woman in the room became embarrassed.
"The barracks are full of men, and the women's families are in the past."
Knowing Lan Niang's thoughts, Ye Kai knew that if this continued, the topic would definitely be distorted by the master and servant, so he hurriedly interrupted.
"The master is hungry, Cui girl hurry up and prepare dinner, if the master can't eat, no one will listen to your words."
"Eh, master, girl, let's go."
Hearing this, Han Cuier greeted her as if she had been pardoned, and hurriedly left the room
The family sat together, it was rare to have a reunion dinner, Ye Kai watched the food come up the same, and the orderly scene made him very satisfied, thanks to Han Cuier, otherwise he would not know what the family would be like if he relied on himself.
With a small sigh in his heart, Ye Kai's appetite was opened, and he just wanted to move his chopsticks, but just as he spoke, he heard Han Chun'er's report.
"Master, my father-in-law is here."
Ye Kai raised his head, and sure enough, he saw a person who looked like a eunuch behind him, naturally it was Xiao Quanzi, the inner eunuch of Zaitao Mansion.
"Father-in-law, what a rare guest." Ye Kai bowed his hand and said with a smile.
"I can't help it, you're going to mess up your identity, it's Xiao Quanzi who asks you for peace." Xiao Quanzi took three steps and made two steps, hurriedly stepped forward to stop Ye Kai, and then hit a thousand.
"My father-in-law is a distinguished guest when he comes to my house, so I must sit down today." Ye Kai didn't ask about Xiao Quanzi's origin, but generously and enthusiastically pulled Xiao Quanzi and asked him to sit down.
"Good master, I'm really sorry, the slave only came here when he had something to do, and Tao Belle invited you to go to the theater in the garden." Xiao Quanzi said apologetically, he has always had a good impression of Ye Kai, and the impression of being approachable is deeply engraved in his mind.
"Watching a play?" Ye Kai was surprised for a few seconds, he had already heard that this Tao Belle was a hardcore ticket holder, but he didn't know anything about Peking Opera, what kind of play did he ask himself to watch at this time?
The training of the Praetorian Guard is imminent, and he is rarely idle, he has a lot of time, so he should simply relax, Ye Kai is not thinking nonsense, and said with a smile: "Okay, father-in-law sit, I'll come later." ”
