When Chen Liqing and the others went to find their father, Chen Mingren happened to come back from Ren Kecheng's house, and when he heard that several sons were looking for him, Chen Mingren said to Chen Lijun and the others without thinking about it that he happened to have something to find them.

It's just that when Chen Lijun, Chen Liqun, Chen Liqing, and Chen Lipin were waiting for Chen Mingren to teach, Chen Mingren was drinking tea by himself.

In the room, there were only a few fathers and sons of the Chen family left, and there were no outsiders. However, Chen Lijun and the others felt that the atmosphere was a little rusty, as if they had made a mistake when they were children and were waiting for their father to beat them one by one.

"Dad, what are you looking for us?" Finally, Chen Liqun, the second brother, couldn't bear the strange atmosphere in the room, and in Chen Liqing's eyes, he mustered up the courage to speak first.

With a certain look in his eyes, Chen Mingren put down the teacup and swept it over: "Liqun, Lijun, I think you should have something to say to my father." Chen Mingren's eyes, as if he could see through people's hearts, were looked at by his father, Chen Lijun, Chen Liqun, and even Chen Lipin didn't feel their scalps tight.

"This, Dad, I, I, we have, we have something to tell you." Daddy is always a daddy, even when facing Yang Xincheng's 700 guns, Chen Liqun didn't feel scared, but when he was swept away by his father's stern eyes, Chen Liqun couldn't help but be nervous.

Of course, in this tension, there is a lack of heart.

"If you have something, just say it, Liqun, what are you doing, I'm your father? Is your dad so scary? Seeing that Chen Lijun was restrained in front of him as if he had made a mistake in an hour, Chen Mingren's face also softened and his tone relaxed. He also suddenly thought that his sons had grown up.

"Daddy?"

Such a sudden change in Chen Mingren surprised Chen Lijun a little.

"Dad, do you still have my dad in your eyes?" Chen Lijun's surprised look made Chen Mingren's face unconsciously stiffen again: "I have done so many things behind my back, and I haven't seen you think of my father." ”

As soon as Chen Mingren's words came out, it proved that Chen Liqun was forgiven by Chen Mingren for some of the things they did behind his back.

Hearing what his father said, Chen Liqing breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said, "Dad, second brother, aren't they afraid that you will be angry?" ”

"Xiaoqing, don't talk about your second brother, I see so many things, you did it all single-handedly." Chen Liqing opened his mouth, and Chen Mingren looked at it directly, and the eyes that saw through everything made Chen Liqing a little nervous.

However, Chen Liqing knew that since Chen Mingren's attitude was now clear, there was no need for him to hide it anymore.

Looking up at his father seriously, Chen Liqing nodded: "Well, that's right, Dad, I made these things." ”

"But Dad, I'm afraid that our Guizhou will be in turmoil, and then it may affect our family, I just want to cultivate my own strength and protect myself." Chen Liqing hurriedly explained.

"Seeking self-preservation?" Chen Mingren stared at Chen Liqing, his eyes burning, and said, "So, you already knew that the imperial court was going to be in chaos?" Chen Mingren couldn't help but think of everything Chen Liqing had done in the past two years, and now when he heard Chen Liqing admit it so personally, he finally couldn't help but be taken aback.

"Uh, this ......" Chen Liqing didn't think that his father's thinking was so jumpy, but there was no way, in the face of Chen Mingren's burning eyes, Chen Liqing could only nod: "Sort of, but this is what the old man in my dream told me." ”

"That old man-" Chen Mingren was shocked again, but then he thought of Chen Liqing's magic, and finally had to nod: "No wonder, no wonder you made such a move." Chen Mingren fell into deep thought, remembering some of Chen Liqing's strange actions in the past two years, and it was not strange.

However, after thinking for a while, Chen Mingren raised his head and said: "But in order to protect yourself, you can't push me to the first place in Guizhou, don't you know that your father is tired of officialdom, not to mention, the position of the governor of Guizhou is so big, your father used to manage only one county, and he has to manage a province-"

Now that everything has been said, Chen Mingren no longer conceals his thoughts, and directly expresses some worries.

"Besides, Liqing, you haven't entered the officialdom, you don't know the twists and turns in this. If I take over as governor of Guizhou now at this time, I am afraid that it will cause some unexpected trouble. Although our Chen family has force, but the political foundation in Guiyang is really poor, even if you rely on force to push your father to the first place in Guizhou, but today you have heard that Zhang Bailin and they will also set up a privy council. ”

"To put it bluntly, this Privy Council is Zhang Bailin, Guo Chongguang, Yang Xincheng and others don't want your father to serve as the governor as he wishes, and use it to limit the governor's power." Chen Mingren didn't understand some of the purposes of Zhang Bailin and others, but he wanted to quit because he didn't want to get involved in the dirty political field anymore.

"So, Liqing, Liqun, Lijun, you don't have to think about anything for me, in this period, the position of governor, whoever sits on it will become the public enemy of the whole people."

After Chen Mingren finished speaking, he looked at his sons, and Chen Mingren could be said to see the current situation in Guizhou clearly. It's just that Chen Liqing is very clear about what he said, very clear, and after Chen Mingren finishes speaking. Chen Liqun said: "Dad, you don't have to worry, in fact, we don't want to push you to the position of governor." ”

"Huh? What about you guys? Chen Mingren was stunned, his puzzled eyes swept over his sons, and finally stopped at Chen Liqun.

"Liqun, what do you mean by that?"

"Dad, the second brother means that we will not let you be the governor of Guizhou yet, the time is not ripe, Liqing also said that the position of the governor of Guizhou is not good at this time." Chen Lijun couldn't help but interject on the side.

"This ......" Chen Mingren looked at Chen Liqing in surprise again, he just said that Chen Liqing didn't understand politics, who would have thought that Chen Liqing had seen through it earlier than him.

"Now, you don't let me be the governor, so why do you want to expose our strength?" Chen Mingren was puzzled again.

"Dad, if you don't want to be the governor, we naturally have our plans." Chen Liqing said: "And you see, if you serve as the governor of Shangdu, Zhang Bailin, Guo Chongguang and others still don't know how to deal with you, such a dangerous position, how can we let you go up, if we want you to go up, at least wait for us to completely stabilize the situation in Guizhou." ”

Chen Mingren took the information in Chen Liqing's hand and looked at it with doubts.

Just after looking at it for a moment, his face turned pale.

"This, this, they are so excessive! Do you want my last name? Chen Mingren raised his head, disbelief flashed in his dark eyes, and his body trembled a little with anger.

"Dad, politics is like this, don't be angry, they just think about it, if they really dare to do it, the eldest brother will help you solve theirs." Chen Liqun naturally knew why Chen Mingren was so angry, Guo Chongguang and the others had discussed it, and wanted to pay some money to bribe Chen Lijun and the people on their side, and asked the people here to rebel and kill a few of the Chen family, so that the Chen family's army might be chaotic because the dragons were leaderless.

To be honest, when he saw Guo Chongguang and others discussing like this, Chen Liqun had a murderous move, not to mention Chen Mingren, who was facing political cruelty again at this time.

"What are your plans?" Chen Mingren tried to restrain the disappointment in his heart, and couldn't help but look up at Chen Liqun, Chen Liqing.

"Our plan is like this, Dad, we are not going to elect you as the governor, we are ready to elect Master Fan Weifan as our chairman of Guizhou, and then ......"

In the deliberation of Chen Liqun and others, the first formal family meeting of the Chen family father and son ended.

The second day soon came, and the council hall of the governor's office once again gathered the heads of various forces in Guiyang. Zhang Bailin, Cai Yue, Ping Gang, Huang Zelin from the party. More than 30 people, including Ren Kecheng, Tang Eryong, Hua Zhihong, and Zhang Pengnian of the constitutionalist faction, Guo Chongguang and He Linshu of the Guiyang's local Qingliu Elder Association, Yang Xincheng and Zhao Dequan of the New Army, and the three fathers and sons of the Chen family, gathered in the conference hall again to prepare for the second meeting on the affairs of the supreme chief executive of Guizhou.

The second meeting was again chaired by Chen Mingren and spearheaded.

"Everyone, after a day, everyone has a more mature idea of our Guizhou governor. A country cannot be said to be without a king, and a family cannot be said to be without an owner. We in Guizhou have finally got to where we are today, and this is the time when we are in Guizhou to be rebuilt, and we need a highly respected and talented superintendent to lead us to transform our Guizhou together. Therefore, I would like to invite you to speak enthusiastically today, and strive to elect the top chief executive of Guizhou today. ”

In the midst of Chen's long list of opening remarks, this second meeting began.

"What Brother Shoucheng said is that I won't waste any time, I thought about it with Mr. He Linshu all night, and I think that Mr. Ren Kecheng, the president of the constitutional faction, is quite suitable to serve as our governor of Guizhou." As soon as Chen Mingren's voice fell, Guo Chongguang took over the conversation, and even directly recommended people, so that the meeting went straight to the topic.

"Yes, I agree with Brother Chongguang, President Ren has been studying Western constitutionalism for many years, and our Guizhou is in ruins at a time when everything is waiting to be rebuilt, and President Ren's knowledge and qualifications are suitable for serving as the governor of our Guizhou." He Linshu, a local landowner in Guiyang who was sitting next to Guo Chongguang, also spoke.

"We agree with Mr. Guo and Mr. He's statements, and we also feel that President Ren is suitable to serve as our governor of Guizhou." As if colluding, Zhang Bailin, who was not very good with Ren Kecheng, also spoke, and unanimously elected Ren Kecheng as the governor of Guizhou and the prime minister of Guizhou civil affairs.

"Also, Dequan and I also think that President Ren is suitable to serve as the governor." Yang Xincheng, Zhao Dequan and others, representatives of the new army, also nodded in agreement.

For a while, the meeting had just begun, and everyone unanimously chose Ren Kecheng as the governor of Guizhou, and this one-sided recommendation made Fan Wei, as well as He Guochang and Zhou Peiyi of the patrol road, couldn't help frowning.

Chen Mingren, Chen Lijun, and Chen Liqun also had a trace of surprise on their faces. (To be continued.) )
