South China Sea, Yingtai.

When it comes to late spring, the warm breeze is blowing, the spring flowers bloom and fail, the summer flowers are not in full bloom, the willow buds are getting green, the Bodhi is raining, the insects are coming and the swallows are returning, the algae are jumping and the fish are jumping, and the scene of going to the old and welcoming the new is vibrant.

Three men and women dressed in the same blue ground and white-trimmed pullover tracksuits gasped slightly, stopping on this small island in the middle of the lake, which was full of pavilions and strange stones and trees, and behind them, on the jade belt bridge connecting the island and the land, stood a dozen sturdy men and women who were similarly dressed and had a temperament that were 108,000 miles away from these three people, constantly scanning the surroundings with alert eyes.

Among them, the rich lady who was panting the most lifted the towel around her neck to wipe her sweat, and shook her head and said, "No, I really can't run, Your Majesty will spare me." ”

is known as His Majesty's Majesty, which is naturally the current Empress Liu Qianhua.

Qianhua smiled when she heard this: "Qing, no wonder you are blessed, you rarely exercise, right?" ”

Affectionately called "Qing" by Her Majesty the Empress, it is Zhang Qianqing, the second daughter of the former Minister of Industry and Commerce Baron Zhang, the big boss of the Qianhua Group, the first garment enterprise in East Asia, who is now five years Chinese New Year's Eve old and has served as the imperial adviser to Her Majesty the Empress for five years.

"It's like this when you have a baby, there's no way." Zhang Qianqing unconsciously touched her little round face.

The slightly thin glasses man on the side pouted and smiled: "It's obviously the result of greedy sweets......

Zhang Qianqing's face twisted: "Mr. Huang, may I ask, who is the conniving person behind this scene?" ”

The "Mr. Huang" in Zhang Qianqing's mouth is none other than her husband Huang Hao, the fourth son of Huang Linhong, former speaker of the House of Representatives, and a professor of history at Imperial University. After Huang Linhong was killed in the Beijing Rebellion in 1905, Huang Hao received an inheritance of one million yuan according to his will. With the help of the Cheung Foundation, the richest man in the empire, he founded the Tianhao Cultural and Education Fund, opened two private colleges, an independent political science institute and three newspapers, and was elected to the House of Representatives in 1911, and after the National Assembly ceased operation in early 15, he was hired by the empress as an advisor to the imperial court, and is now Chinese New Year's Eve.

Qianhua hid her face and smiled: "Not bad, the relationship is still so good." ”

Zhang Qianqing deliberately crossed her waist angrily: "What kind of feelings, seeing him like this, it will hurt me - then again, Your Majesty's body is still so good." I ran so far without much breath. ”

"It's not just that I haven't gasped, and my face hasn't changed." Huang Hao added with a smile.

"I think about it, Your Majesty's appearance is similar to when we first met ten years ago, it hasn't changed much, I also want to learn this kind of beauty cultivation technique - no, I have become a yellow-faced woman in a blink of an eye, Your Majesty is still so young and beautiful, dwarfed by shame."

Qian Hua blinked: "This is a secret recipe unique to the royal family, of course it can't be leaked to the outside world." ”

Zhang Qianqing shook her head in disappointment: "It seems that I am not qualified, or is Her Royal Highness the princess blessed......"

Huang Hao took the opportunity to continue: "The crown prince's wedding has been going on for a while. Recently, there has been no news from the crown prince and his wife, so nothing will happen, right? There are rumors that there is a ...... between the queen mother and the princess"

Qianhua helplessly sent a wry smile: "There are hardships in the palace." During the war, this kind of thing should not be taken out and hyped up, and it can only be treated coldly with an attitude of ignoring and not answering, and the royal family is still shallow and cannot withstand the toss. ”

"I understand, my subordinate newspapers and periodicals will try to stir up new focuses to divert attention, and my eldest brother and Qianqing's subordinate newspapers and periodicals will also cooperate accordingly......"

Qianhua nodded with satisfaction: "Please, sooner or later, the crown prince and the princess and his wife will have to go out to handle some affairs on behalf of the royal family and the empire, and they must not let negative reports affect their local image." Their image is that of royalty and empire. ”

Zhang Qianqing leaned over slightly respectfully: "Our two major consortia of Zhang and Huang will always be the most loyal supporters of the royal family, and if Your Majesty has anything to order, it is the greatest honor of our Zhang and Huang families to do things for Your Majesty."

Qian Hua smiled slightly after hearing this: "In this way, the two of you also unconditionally support this war?" ”

Zhang Qianqing hesitated. Turning his eyes at Huang Hao, he pretended to be obedient and responded: "That's natural ......"

"Tell the truth." Qianhua still inherited some of his father's impatient personality.

Huang Hao took a step forward with the stone railing, and said softly: "Judging from our own actual benefits. Of course, it should be supported, the large military orders have made many consortia close to the top of the consortium make a windfall, and Qianqing's company's military uniform orders this year alone are enough for her to double her assets......"

Speaking of this, he suddenly accentuated his tone: "However, the attrition of the war and the sacrifices on the battlefield are all borne by the low-level citizens. If the war drags on for a long time, resulting in soaring prices, misery for the lower classes, and a general war-weariness in society, but because of the military dictatorship, public opinion will not be able to influence government decision-making through legal and normal channels, then there will be a big market for the violent revolutionary ideas of the radicals of the Comintern, represented by Lenin. ”

Zhang Qianqing sang the opposite tune to her husband: "You mean that the left wing of the SPD will take the opportunity to make trouble?" It seems that the minds of our workers have not yet reached that level. ”

—

Huang Hao did not give an inch to fight back: "The ideological consciousness of the workers of our country today is no less than that of the Russian workers of the 1905 revolution. ”

Qianhua said with a smile: "Qing, you are 'only in this mountain', Councilor Huang is a politician with a scholarly background, and he can see problems more accurately than you." ”

Zhang Qianqing spread her hands and said: "Okay, okay, I admit defeat, I surrender, then let me ask Councilor Huang, if it really comes to that point, how should I deal with it?" ”

"Your question is missing a subject, who is going to do it and how to deal with it?" Huang Hao mercilessly pointed out the omissions in his wife's words.

Zhang Qianqing frowned unconvinced: "We, Your Majesty, as well as you and me who serve Your Majesty, how should we deal with it, okay." ”

Huang Hao shrugged his shoulders very Westernly: "We? I had to unconditionally support the military junta to suppress the revolution, according to those so-called revolutionaries, the emperor is the symbol of the decadent feudal ** rule, and we, the capitalists, are the source of all evil that oppresses and deprives the proletarians. Since it's not you who die, I will live, so I have to protect myself first, and there is no way to kill a river of blood. ”

Zhang Qianqing was still unconvinced: "What, it's murderous, isn't there any other choice?" No matter how messy it is, as long as there is His Majesty in the ......"

"At that time, His Majesty and the Imperial Family will become the first obstacle to the revolution, the first object of the revolutionary party to be eradicated, don't be too naïve, in 1905, the rioting Russian people did not take their Tsar seriously?"

"This and that are not the same thing at all, the current royal family has never done anything to be sorry for the people......"

"It's really that far, who is worthy of whom, the junta is coming over with a scoop of dirty water, what can you do?"

Seeing that the couple was arguing louder and louder, Qian Hua shook his head with a bitter smile, and reached out to hold the two: "Okay, don't quarrel, Shu has already felt your heart of worrying about the country and loyalty, no matter what, you can only believe that Shu's army can win this war first, and secondly, even if the war is unfavorable, as long as Shu still has a breath, he will never allow a civil war to break out, and never let the Chinese fight the Chinese." ”

Before the words fell, a report was reported from the bridgehead: "The female official Ye Jingying asks to see her." ”

Qianhua smiled and nodded to the two: "I have to go to a meeting again, I'll get here here today, and I've dragged you to run so far with me, it's hard work." ”

An hour later, in Xinhua Palace, Her Majesty Empress Chengxian, who had changed into a special pure black skirt and military uniform, elegantly and calmly stepped into the front conference room of the star-studded base camp.
