Episode 28 Little Jiujiu with a stomachache

Xiang Xiaoqiang returned to the headquarters in the city from the shooting range.

The first thing he did was to have fourteen grids called. But after thinking about it, I thought it was better to go in person.

But when he arrived at the office of the commander of the political work team, the secretary of the fourteenth grid said that Her Royal Highness the princess had returned.

"That'...... When did she leave? Xiang Xiaoqiang was a little unwilling and asked, "Have you been waiting for me, and in the end, you really can't wait, and you are in a hurry to leave?" ”

The little female officer shook her head like a wave drum:

"No, I didn't have to wait a minute. It's just the normal off-duty time. ”

“……”

Xiang Xiaoqiang was very unhappy, licked his lips, thought about it and asked:

"And she...... Was there anything ...... when you came back For example, feeling down, or secretly crying or something? ”

The little female officer was surprised, looked at the commander, and replied in surprise:

"My lord, no...... She's just like usual...... How is it normally, how is it today......"

The more she spoke, the quieter her voice became, and she secretly looked at Xiang Xiaoqiang, thinking about the commander's thoughts, and finally her voice was so small that she could barely hear it:

“…… Still...... You also talk and laugh with me......"

Xiang Xiaoqiang was extremely unhappy, patted the little female officer on the shoulder, shook his head and sighed:

"Okay, I'm thinking too much, it's none of your business...... By the way, don't tell her. ”

"Yes...... Be. ”

Looking at Xiang Xiaoqiang's back, the little female officer agreed stupidly, her chest jumped violently, her face suddenly turned red, and the place on her shoulder that was patted by the commander was like a warm electric current, which instantly spread throughout her body.

……

"My lord, my lord," he had just returned to the door of his office, and he was already waiting there with a stomachache, and he immediately greeted him and whispered, "You let your subordinates find ......"

"What's going on?"

Stomach ache asked mysteriously:

"My lord, what did she say about Princess Liaoyang?"

"What?"

Stomach ache and smiled mysteriously:

"Didn't you just go to Princess Liaoyang?"

Xiang Xiaoqiang became angry, stared at him, looked up and down, and said coldly:

"Du Teng, you listen to me, I warn you now, you are the head of the security team, but next time you dare to 'protect' my head, I will immediately let you, the commander of the security team, be a security guard. Do you understand? ”

The stomach hurt and was dumbfounded, his face turned white, and he muttered in his mouth:

"Your Excellency...... Big...... Big...... Subordinate...... Actually......"

Xiang Xiaoqiang saw that he was scared like this, and felt that his goal had been achieved, so he softened his tone and reprimanded:

"Forget it, I know you didn't mean to. But you really have to change this problem, otherwise sooner or later one day you will me off, and I will really give you good fruit to eat. …… Okay, let's talk about it. ”

The stomach hurt for a while, as if he had been amnesty, he hurriedly admitted his mistake to Xiang Xiaoqiang for a long time, and asked Xiaoqiang several times before he said carefully:

"My lord, have you read today's evening newspaper?"

"Didn't look, what's wrong?"

With a stomachache, he immediately took out a stack of newspapers from his pocket, took it out and pointed it to Xiang Xiaoqiang and said:

"My lord, Princess Liaoyang has offended the press now, you see, this is the twenty most influential newspapers, I have picked out the front page and put it together, all of which are scolding Princess Liaoyang, you see, this one is a front page headline, the headline "Gege, this is not the Manchu Dynasty!" 》； This one is "Commenting on the Manchu Habits of Princess Daming"; There is also this one, with the headline "Manchu Gege insults the people of the Ming Dynasty"; Look at this one again, it's even more terrifying, the headline on the front page "Princess Liaoyang openly insults Her Majesty the Empress" ......"

"Huh?" Xiang Xiaoqiang was also a little surprised, took the newspaper and looked at it, "Insulting Her Majesty? Was she insulted? How did I not know? ”

Pointing to the article, the stomach ache explained:

"My lord, they said this, when a reporter said, 'Even Your Majesty has not hung us like this,' you read what was written in the newspaper: 'Princess Liaoyang heard His Majesty's sacred words, and immediately showed an expression of extreme disdain, snorted, sneered, got up and brushed his sleeves away'......"

Xiang Xiaoqiang couldn't cry or laugh, it turned out that Fourteen Gege "insulted" His Majesty like this. It turns out that the title party of Daming is not weak at this time.

He took the newspaper and looked through it briefly, and sure enough, the twenty most influential newspapers all scolded Fourteen Gege. And they all mentioned "Manchu Gege" and "Boss of the Sticky Pole", and they all talked about the original identity of Princess Liaoyang.

is more polite, just say that she has a "Qinglu habit", but if you are not polite, just call her "Qinglu". There was even a newspaper with a front-page headline:

"The Tartar Princess of the Ming Dynasty".

However, Xiang Xiaoqiang also saw some momentum, that is, "Princess Liaoyang was coerced by the government", "Princess Liaoyang was under pressure from the royal family" and so on, which were questioned by reporters one after another, and no one mentioned it now. What they write is a lawless, unruly princess who treats the media like dung.

Perhaps this is a good thing compared to the former.

……

"Well, what do you think?"

Xiang Xiaoqiang looked at the stomachache and asked rhetorically.

"My lord," said in a stomachache and lowered his voice, "Now the outside world is dissatisfied with Princess Liaoyang, and although Your Majesty doesn't say it, it must be uncomfortable in my heart...... And, there's ...... The Cabinet Guys...... I have long been unhappy with Princess Liaoyang, when the adults went to Europe, it was Princess Liaoyang who guarded Nanjing, regarded the People's Guards as dead, did not give them a chance, and developed so much......

"My lord, if we can't do something by ourselves in the first place, I'm afraid that next, the other party will seize this opportunity and let us go...... My lord, Princess Liaoyang doesn't know how to deal with the media, and she is not to blame, but ...... The Cabinet will definitely be eyeing it...... Gather a group of big newspapers and put them on the line, and they are proficient in doing it...... If we really want to leave the People's Guard Corps and go home to be a princess because of this, then we will lose a lot. ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang didn't speak, squinted his eyes and thought for a while, pondering the words of stomach pain. After a while, he asked quietly:

"Ziteng, you said this...... If we deal with it ourselves, how will we deal with it? ”

The stomachache was encouraged, and he was even happier, and he leaned in and whispered:

"We can make a personnel transfer, and have a bright and dark promotion......"

"Light descends and darkness rises?" Xiang Xiaoqiang squinted at him.

"Yes," said with a stomachache, "My lord, isn't Princess Liaoyang the commander of the political work team now?" You can demote her, from commander to deputy commander, and she is still in the political work team......"

Xiang Xiaoqiang frowned and asked:

"Who should be the commander of the political work team?"

Stomach ache grinning and said:

"There's a good candidate for it."

"Huh? …… Which one? ”

Stomach ache smiled and said, "Mr. Song Ruhai." …… What do you think. ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang rolled his eyes and thought: Don't say it, Song Ruhai is really more suitable for doing these things in the political work team than Fourteen Gege. He is engaged in diplomacy, and he is also a soldier, a diplomatic attaché, and he is a man who is resourceful enough. At present, the political work team is in the hands of 14 Gege, and it is a Qingshui yamen, but if Song Ruhai is allowed to do it, it is very hopeful that it will become the "propaganda and foreign relations department" of the People's Guard. This is important.

He thought about it again, looked at the stomachache, and said that Song Ruhai, the old man, shouldn't he give a little bit of a stomachache? Probably not. Old man Song is old and fine, and he should be able to see that this guy has a stomachache.

Having said that, since the three old men Song Ruhai, Sun Jiye, and Wang Hexiang went on a trip to Europe with them, they have become well-known "politicians" in the country from unknown second- and third-rate officials, and they have become the focus of attention everywhere. The three retired old men are all alive again, and they all feel that after retirement, their careers have made a leap forward, and they must seize it.

So after coming back, he has been following Xiang Xiaoqiang to "exert his residual heat" in the People's Guard, without a specific position, that is, called "consultant". This time the proposal for a stomachache is quite worth considering. The position of commander of the political work team was vacated, and the two diplomatic attachés, Song Ruhai and Sun Jiye, were appointed as the chief and deputy commanders. In addition, Xiang Xiaoqiang also wanted to set up a department for the development of equipment and logistics for a long time. Technical cooperation with Germany has just begun, and soon this will become a top priority. Wang Hexiang, former deputy director of the State Administration of Military Industry, is just right for this.

Besides, as the stomach ache said, the fourteen grids had better "move". If the People's Guard does not "move" itself, outsiders will find an opportunity to "move." At that point, the consequences are out of your control.

The advice given by this guy with a stomachache is good, but at least half of it is selfish. He himself is in charge of the intelligence department, and Fourteen Gege is an expert and veteran of intelligence, I don't know how many times stronger than him, although Fourteen Gege is not directly involved in intelligence now, but can he not feel a strong threat with a stomachache? Today, I took advantage of this incident to put forward a "suggestion", wanting to press down the fourteen grids a little more.

Light and dark up? Well said. People are promoted from a high-level deputy to a low-level main position, although the level is low, but they have real power. This is a downgrade from a principal position at the same level to a deputy position, and the standard has dropped brightly and secretly, and there has been no promotion at all.

……

Thinking of this, Xiang Xiaoqiang smiled and hugged his stomachache shoulder, patted him and smiled:

"Ziteng, your suggestion is really good. Princess Liaoyang is really not suitable for that position. If it weren't for this, I would have wanted to find a chance to adjust it. Okay, Ziteng, this kind of good advice should be mentioned more in the future. ”

The stomach hurt so much that he couldn't close his mouth, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and he rubbed his hands together and smiled:

"My lord, look at what you said...... The subordinates are just ......"

"Oops......" Xiang Xiaoqiang smacked his lips and made a contemplative gesture, "It's a pity that I have also been selected for the deputy position of the political work team." You can't let Princess Liaoyang be a soldier in the political work team. …… By the way, that's good, Ziteng, just demote Princess Liaoyang to your subordinates, and go to the security team to be your deputy. ”

The smile on his stomach hurt and his face didn't rise, and his throat and eyes "gurgled", and he froze there all of a sudden.

"Big ...... Your Excellency, Your ...... What do you say? ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang smiled:

"Let Princess Liaoyang be the deputy commander of the security team and give you a deputy! …… What's wrong? Insulted you? ”

The stomach hurts, the skin slowly rises purple red, and the throat rolls and rolls, making a "gurgling" sound. After grunting for a long time, he felt that it was useless to refuse, but the commander was obviously intentional, so he stubbornly said:

"I didn't ...... It's nothing...... It's just that the subordinates are afraid that they have wronged Princess Liaoyang......"

"You don't understand this," Xiang Xiaoqiang patted him on the shoulder and smiled, "Why should we demote her?" Isn't it just to wronged her and let outsiders see it? If she doesn't be aggrieved now, the newspapers outside will be aggrieved. So ha, it's okay, you can use her as a deputy. ”

My stomach hurt and I wanted to cry without tears, I lowered my head and said hard:

"Yes...... Be...... Adults think about it very much......"

It's over, and what I'm most worried about has happened...... Princess Liaoyang came to be her deputy, how can this be a deputy, this is simply a transfer of an aunt! In terms of identity, she is the princess of Daming; In terms of relationships, people are much closer to the commander than they are; Wheel talent, he was originally the highest chief of the Beiqing sticky pole, and he was a nine-stage player...... In short, as soon as she comes, she, the commander of the security team, will exist in name only......

He almost scolded himself in his heart: Stomach hurts, stomach hurts, you call yourself to dig a pit and bury yourself! It seems that the commander has a princess of Liaoyang, so he thinks that he can't do it, so he wants to put himself in the air step by step, and finally simply let Princess Liaoyang completely top herself......

……

But Xiang Xiaoqiang patted him on the shoulder again and said with a smile:

"Okay, Ziteng, don't pretend to me, I know you have any concerns."

"Adult ......"

"Well, let me tell you, and you don't have any additional concerns. After all, we have lived and died together...... When you followed me to Beiqing and died, Princess Liaoyang was still from Beiqing......"

Stomach ache excitedly: "Yes, sir! ”

Like Xiaoqiang, he patted him on the shoulder again and said with a smile:

"Ziteng, let me tell you...... At present, the security team is only internal intelligence and counter-espionage, and the external part, especially the Northern Qing Dynasty, is very weak. We have to admit it. To the north, the advantage is all on the east factory side, and we can't beat them. If it weren't for my relationship with Qiu Yu's father, even the Northern Heaven and Earth Association wouldn't be on our side. Now we have to hurry up and make up this piece, and quickly, very quickly...... For Beiqing, I can't, and I'm afraid you can't either. There is only one pedestrian line. Who do you say? ”

The stomach ache slowly understood, and suddenly realized:

"Ah, Princess Liaoyang."

"Yes, Princess Liaoyang." Xiang Xiaoqiang nodded and said, "Now that I have talked to Princess Liaoyang, she has agreed to help me deal with the Manchus...... Don't ask me how I talk about it, she's willing to do it now anyway. This is not easy, she used to be the head of the entire intelligence system of the Northern Qing Dynasty, and her value is too great. Even after she came to Daming, the Manchu system made some precautionary adjustments, but it was not overnight, and the impact was not great. It can be said that in today's entire Ming Dynasty, the only person who can quickly establish a set of intelligence teams that are the most effective and the most effective to deal with the Manchu Qing Dynasty and get twice the result with half the effort is Princess Liaoyang.

"Princess Liaoyang has been transferred to you, and I will let her be solely responsible for the north, and the domestic affairs you are now responsible for, there will not be too much conflict. At a certain point in the development of this piece, I will take it out separately and set up a parallel department. So you don't have to think about it, you're always the commander of the security team. She is under you, don't think there is anything bad to do, I will explain to her, to be a subordinate, you have to be a subordinate. Of course, on a formal occasion, she is a princess, and that's another matter. At that time, even me and even Shen Ge Lao had to pay courtiers to her.

"How? Ziteng, are you relieved now? ”

After saying this, the face with a stomachache gradually brightened, and soon showed joy again, and immediately smiled from ear to ear.
