When Zhao Guanhou's carriage arrived at Jurentang, Tang Tianxi was already waiting outside, and a team of soldiers dressed brightly were waiting for Zhao Guanhou. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info he got out of the car with Jensen and Chen Lenghe, and the soldiers immediately raised their rifles and saluted.

Zhao Guanhou listened, didn't hear the mourning voice in the Forbidden City, and asked Tang Tianxi: "There is no movement over there?" It is said that the Queen Mother's Feng'an ceremony, such a big thing, no matter what, has to be tossed and tossed. With an annual fee of four million yuan a year, it won't even be impossible to do a scene. This one buries people without moving, and it's too simple. ”

"How can it, even if the little emperor wants to do it small, the Internal Affairs Office can't agree. The emperor is gone, the Internal Affairs Office is still there, and he is all pointing to doing this kind of big thing to make money, how can there be no movement. But they didn't dare to do it here, tonight the eldest lady banquet, had already informed the side, they were afraid that there would be a disturbance and disturb the interest here, so they all went out to do it. ”

While speaking, the group had already arrived at Jurentang, Tang Tianxi stopped his steps and only let Zhao Guanhou's family in. Yuan Weiting was not there, only Shen Jinying, who was dressed in a costume, stood with a smile, and after meeting, he stepped forward in two steps, grabbed Zhao Guanhou's hand and looked up and down, and praised while looking:

"Little brother, you are more and more energetic, you are really a living Zhao Yun-like character. When you go back to Beijing, if you go around, you don't know how many photos you can receive and come back. ”

"Sister, spare your life, I'm followed by two, I dare to accept this, I have to tear me apart."

The dinner was presided over by Shen Jinying, and at the sound of an order, the military band first played the drums in unison, and then began to arrange the table. The imperial dining room that originally served the emperor was now changed to serve the president, and the dishes and even the tableware used were the same as those used by the emperor at the beginning.

Shen Jinying pointed to the tableware and said: "I love the household food in this hall, I think when I was in Bada Hutong, but I never dreamed that I would be able to use these things one day." When I moved in, I thought, they are all human beings, why should she be allowed to use them, but I am not allowed to use them? Although it is said to protect the property of the gold room, but I borrowed it for use, not to rob it, so there is nothing wrong with it. That's it, guess what, Xiao Dezhang obediently sent it to me. ”

"That's my sister's majesty, and it's also the treatment my brother-in-law deserves. Ge Ming's party could have shouted that they would kill the banner people, if they won the world, the little emperor would never have the current preferential treatment, drink water and think of the source, they should repay their sister and brother-in-law. A mere tableware is nothing. ”

Shen Jinying nodded and said, "I said the same thing, I still think that one day I will lend the queen's set of phoenix crown and wear it on my body like this." Your brother-in-law put on a dragon robe and stand with me, if you take a picture of us, how good you would say. Let people also see, what happened to the eight alleys, and they can still be the queen raised by the world. ”

Chen Lenghe had a very poor relationship with her, and couldn't help but say at this time: "The imperial system is gone forever, China doesn't need an emperor, and naturally it doesn't need an empress." No one can hope that they will be raised by the world, and the people will not support the appearance of a queen in the Forbidden City. ”

"Sister Leng He, I'm just joking, don't take it seriously. Guanhou and I are good sisters and brothers, in the past, when we met and talked at two ends for three days, your brother-in-law saw it, and he wouldn't go to his heart. Now that one is the president and the other is the overseer of Shandong, our sister and brother are easily unable to meet. Isn't it that you can't see it, and the more you don't see it, the more you think about it. So when you meet, you have to tell a few jokes, and you don't take it seriously. Eat more vegetables and taste the craftsmanship of this imperial meal. ”

Jensen interjected at the right time: "I have always appreciated the cooking level of your country, and my taste is becoming more and more like a Chinese." Mrs. Shen knows that I have been in Shandong for the longest time now, and Lu cuisine has become an indispensable part of my life. As for the imperial diet, I don't have many opportunities to come into contact with it, and it is my honor to be able to taste the food that only the emperor of your country can eat today. Here, I would like to thank Madame for her warm hospitality, and cheers. ”

Shen Jinying no longer paid attention to Chen Lenghe, but asked about Jensen's situation in Shandong, and made two jokes about her relationship with Zhao Guanhou. Then he looked at the ring on her hand and asked her if she liked it.

After gossiping for a while, Zhao Guanhou asked again: "What about my brother-in-law?" The president's official affairs are busier than those of the former Jin emperor, but no matter how busy he is, he can't delay his meal. Eating and drinking, that is not a scene in the peaceful world, if the body is boiled down, my sister is still in a hurry. ”

Shen Jinying said angrily: "Don't mention him, when I was in Huanshang Village, I fished every day, drank tea, lived a leisurely life, and my body and bones were good." Since he became the interim president, he has been busy endlessly every day, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he didn't know how many troublesome things were waiting for him, but there were few happy things. Either there is a war here, or there is a plague there. finally finished beating the Ge Ming Party, and Henan made a white wolf again. I wondered, is it so hard to fight a wolf? ”

"Long Yu is dead, it is said that there is no emperor now, and the queen mother naturally can't talk about it. But he still has to go to the funeral to help, one handover, a hundred looks, it is said that there is no need to be afraid of a dead ghost. But in the first half of the night, I thought about others, and in the second half of the night, I thought about myself, why is she also a queen mother, so she has to entertain, right? All night, they all have to be at the funeral office, and Xu Donghai is also there, and they will wait until tomorrow during the day to meet you overseer generals. Today is my sister's family banquet to entertain you, and tomorrow he will invite you again, which is the friendship between your brothers. ”

Xu Juren once stated that he was unwilling to enter the second minister's biography after his death, so after the abdication of the Jin family, Xu Juren did not go out under Yuan Weiting, but bought a boat in Shandong and lived in seclusion in Qingdao. However, not long ago, when the Prussian governor set up a banquet, Xu Juren's bad habit of spitting was difficult to change, and a mouthful of thick phlegm spit onto the carpet carefully prepared by the Prussian governor.

This move was a great loss of honor, both hated by the owner, Qingdao naturally can no longer be a place to live, just when Longyu died, Xu Juren came to the capital to handle the funeral, which is the way of the minister. But in Zhao Guanhou's opinion, it is still uncertain whether he is simply loyal or has other plans.

Shen Jinying asked Jensen about the Yankee Civil War. She has never been very concerned with the international situation, much less about the war, and this question is somewhat surprising. Zhao Guanhou asked, and she sighed and said:

"Isn't he crowded, those countries in Dongjiaomin Lane, come to your brother-in-law for negotiations in three days, he has a terrible headache for this matter, and I feel distressed when I look at it. Citigroup is fighting a civil war, what does it matter to us, and now several countries have to force us to express their support for whom, this is a shadowless matter. We don't even know who Citigroup is fighting with whom, and how do we know who to support. I have to ask Mrs. Jenson, don't foreigners know the most about foreigners? ”

The Yankees went to war in the north and south, each looking for support. Prussia supported Uttar Pradesh, but Albion braved the world's condemnation and supported Uttar Pradesh. Albion's ambition may be to re-annex the southern state to its territory and remain a territory under the Queen's rule. Prussia, on the other hand, valued the industrial base of Uttar Pradesh and planned for the future. The contest between the two chess players has begun, although they will not use force on their own, but between the words, it has become more and more hyperactive, and there is quite a smell of gunpowder.

Although China is a weak country, it has a large number of people, and Shandong also sent a force of 500 men into the Yankee to participate in the war. Although it is under the banner of mercenaries, the actual situation cannot be concealed from the eyes and ears of the great powers. Both Albion and Prussia are putting pressure on Yuan Weiting to increase or stop Chinese aid to Uttar Pradesh.

When the Beiyang generals formed their own army, they learned Prussian discipline and came into contact with Prussian instructors, and some of the officers were still studying in Prussia and had a natural affection for Prussia. For example, the Prussian mustache is a major fashion for Beiyang officers.

For example, Duan Zhiquan, the current army chief, is a fanatical Prussian supporter who does not take non-Prussian medicine and does not see non-Prussian doctors. From this point of view, it was clear that the troops were more inclined to join the Prussian side.

But the problem is that the financial resources of the Kyohe Shofu now still depend on the face of the Albion Foundation. Among the banking groups of various countries, Albion is the most powerful and has the largest capital contribution. For Yuan Weiting's support, Zhu Erdian also contributed the most, and the two were involved in public and private affairs, which was extremely heavy, and if Albiang abandoned Albion and helped Prussia, the price would be too great for the Gonghe government to bear.

Yuan Weiting can only use two-sided methods, perfunctory and procrastinating with good words to both sides, and not making a clear statement. On the Shandong side, Zhao Guanhou also faced a similar situation, but he did the formalities at the beginning of the dispatch of troops. These hundreds of people were all considered to be discharged, nominally not under his management, and he signed an employment contract with Hoover, describing the dispatch as a purely commercial act and the righteousness of friends. He was equally famous for his recklessness and recklessness in Shandong, and his courage to think and dare to do things was equally famous, and neither country could find any handle, so he had to warn him not to make an example.

Judging from the current war, the southern state has the upper hand, but strategically, it has adopted a defensive position, and it is obviously lacking in confidence. However, Albiang's intervention allowed the southern state to obtain foreign aid, and China still can't tell how the specific war will be won or lost.

Shen Jinying asked: "I don't understand about the war, but when two countries fight, it's like two people fighting, there is always a winner or loser." You sent troops to help the foreigners, in case that side loses, how can you get it? ”

Zhao Guanhou said with a smile: "Sister, just rest assured, this treasure, the younger brother is quite sure, although I am close to Prussia, but not far from Zhu Erdian, I should not have participated in the two families in one hand." But the foreigners paid real money, and I couldn't refuse forcibly, so I had to do it perfunctorily. A few hundred soldiers have nothing to do with the overall situation, they are just a false story, and there will be no major disputes. It's still my brother-in-law who is really difficult to be, even if he knows that this time, Citigroup will win or lose, but he doesn't dare to express his position at will. Once Albiang is to blame, his brother-in-law's situation is also very difficult, and it is difficult to say how much strength Zhu Erdian can provide. ”

Shen Jinying nodded, "You still see things thoroughly, I told your brother-in-law that it is better to stay in Beijing than to send you outside." What about nine ministries, why can't you be a minister? What's wrong with being young, Ganluo of the Qin Dynasty, he can be the prime minister at the age of seven, and no one says anything, why can't you do it? When I said this, there was a fire in my heart, so I came and walked around with my sister. ”

If she didn't greet Jensen and Leng He, the two of them couldn't follow, so they could only watch Zhao Guanhou follow Shen Jinying outside. Shen Jinying was wearing a pair of high-heeled leather shoes that were very popular in Beijing recently, and it was not too convenient to walk, Zhao Guanhou stretched out his hand to support her, and came all the way to the 10,000-character corridor before stopping.

Seeing that no one was following up, Shen Jinying put his hand on Zhao Guanhou's shoulder and said softly: "You know that your brother-in-law is not easy. He is like a big patriarch, taking care of this, and taking care of that, if you don't take care of anything, something will go wrong. When a family lives with a bowl of water, it is unattainable, and someone will always suffer and someone will take advantage. Who suffers more? Whoever is close to the parents will suffer more. There are things that always think of him, if his life is better than that of other brothers and sisters, then there is something to have him, and there is no benefit to him. The old man's idea is not to add fat, but when it falls on the children below, he will naturally have other thoughts in his heart. ”

"Sister, you have something to say, you don't have to go around the bend."

"What you did in northern Jiangsu was too much, killing so many people, and they were all from the Confucian Church, which is not good. Look at your brother-in-law, he and Kang Zuyi are old enemies, but so what, Kang Zuyi returned to China, and your brother-in-law still offered him as a saint. In this world, there can be no education, if there is no moral education, the world will be in chaos. There must be something in the human heart to bind it, so that it will not be bad. The way of the sage, which has been used in our China for thousands of years, must not be a bad thing, it cannot be said that in order to do the common union, there is no saint, no ancestors, right? Even if those people do something bad, you should tell your brother-in-law and let him do it for you. Can't you still trust my sister? With me, I can always make you angry and won't make them feel better. If you kill someone, reasonable will become unreasonable, and you are also a husband, you still don't understand? ”

Zhao Guanhou smiled, "I am also sensible in reason, but unfortunately when I do it, I can't be so calm." What those people do, if they don't kill, I can't breathe out of my heart. People always hold their breath, they will hold back their problems, and my sister doesn't want me to be sick by a few turtles, right? ”

"I understand, these rich people are lawless in the countryside, they don't take you as a handsome man in their eyes, and they still want to unite with Zhang Yuan to expel you, I also know this. But no matter what, human life is at stake, and even if you kill one or two, it's better than killing a family. This matter was too big, and the people of the Confucian Church did not agree, and Kang Zuyi spoke, saying that it was impossible to stop it, and if the president protected it, the Confucian Church must appeal to the end. You also know that your brother-in-law has a temporary hat on the head of the big president. If the constitution cannot be enacted, and the congress is opened, he will not be able to take off his temporary hat. If you think about it, isn't it despised that a country as big as ours doesn't even have an official president? ”

She pointed to a pavilion in the corridor for resting, and Zhao Guanhou helped her to sit on it, and she persuaded again, "Your brother-in-law is also difficult." If you are determined to protect you, and the people below will follow suit, the authority of this great president will not be able to be discussed. The overseers in those places were all from Qiu Ba, and their food and salary were poor, so they wanted to eat among the people, and the people's anger was already great. If they lose their fear and do whatever they want, the gentry will suffer, and the country will have to be chaotic. ”

Zhao Guanhou said: "What does that brother-in-law mean is to punish me?" ”

"There is no talk of punishment, just your chief of civil affairs. In the future, you can lead the troops with peace of mind, and don't worry about civil affairs. (To be continued.) )
