Beijing City, Xufu.

Xu Guangqi had already fallen asleep.

But when he heard that Lu Yu came to visit at night, he could only change his clothes again and go to the front hall to receive this colleague.

"Student meets Chief Xu!" The first time Lu Yu saw Xu Guangqi, he showed an extremely humble posture.

No matter which aspect it is, Xu Guangqi is more powerful than Lu Yu.

Even, to put it more rigorously, in terms of grade, Xu Guangqi is the only one who can compare with Wang Qi.

"Lord Lu came here at night, why did you come here?" Xu Guangqi sat on the chair, and the next person served tea before speaking slowly.

"Does Chief Xu know about the consul's arrival in Jizhou Mansion?" Lu Yu sat on the chair and turned sideways to Xu Guangqi and asked.

"Naturally," Xu Guangqi nodded: "In the inspection of the northern provinces, Jizhou Mansion is the top priority, and the dual-track parallel of the parliament and the society is a big plan, and it is also the political reform that the consul focuses on You came here tonight for Jizhou Mansion?" ”

Of course, Xu Guangqi knew that Lu Yu had a nephew who was the vice president of the Business Alliance in Jizhou Mansion, and the council and the society were about to run in parallel, so as the head of the Science Society, he naturally knew everything about the Zhufu Dao Business Alliance.

And Xu Guangqi, who was an old man, looked at Lu Yu in front of him, his eyes were introverted, and he looked a little confused and said: "If it is about Jizhou Mansion, as your status as a senior councilor, you can directly contact the consul to find the old man today, so why?" ”

"It's also ugly, Lu has a nephew who is the vice president of the Business Alliance in Jizhou Mansion," Lu Yu smiled bitterly: "Recently, the dual-track parallel system of the parliament and the society has been implemented, and my nephew has violated the law, delayed the major policies of the parliament, disobeyed and even sabotaged it, and Lu came today."

Lu Yu hesitated for a moment before continuing to speak: "Because the Shang Alliance is now under the jurisdiction of the Society, if you want to deal with Ying Wencai, Chief Xu will issue a decree in the name of the Society, which is only right, and it is also conducive to the implementation of the great policies of the consuls."

"Huh," Xu Guangqi stroked his long beard, looked at Lu Yu, and said suspiciously, "This is what the ruling lord means?" ”

"Lu wants to make amends and avoid being misunderstood by the ruling lords, after all, Ying Wencai is my nephew." Lu Yu didn't intend to deceive anything, for an old person like Xu Guangqi, any deliberate concealment may have a great impact on the consequences.

"You want Ying Wencai to die?" Xu Guangqi asked rhetorically: "It's easy to let him die, but how to die in order to conform to the plan of the ruling lord, do you know?" ”

In line with Wang Qi's plan?

Yes, Ying Wencai is bound to die, but the entire Jizhou Mansion Business Alliance is not just one or two people, it is related to Sancheng Horqin trade, 20% Liaodong trade, and the core nodes of the east-west trade route.

If it is not handled well and it affects business and trade, it is a big deal.

Moreover, Lu Yu has also been preparing to send an envoy to Horqin recently, if at this time, because of the trade of Jizhou Mansion, the negotiations between the two countries will be affected, and it will also affect the whole body.

"So Lu came to ask Chief Xu!" Lu Yu said, stood up and bowed deeply: "Please also ask the adults to help!" ”

Gently stroking his beard, Xu Guangqi stared at Lu Yu for a few seconds before saying, "I can issue an edict in the name of the Society, but I need the approval of the consuls. ”

Without Wang Qi's approval, no one dared to risk the world's condemnation and meddle in this kind of matter.

Xu Guangqi wanted to wait, he wanted to see where Wang Qi's bottom line was in dealing with this matter.

And, most importantly, the scientific society's division of the power of the parliament is actually a part of Wang Qi's power.

At this kind of sensitive time, Xu Guangqi will not let Wang Qi misunderstand.

"However, I can write a letter to you, you can go to Jizhou Mansion to solve this matter" Xu Guangqi didn't want to offend Lu Yu for nothing, after all, he was Wang Qi's confidant.

"To see the Archon?" Lu Yu gritted his teeth, obviously still a little hesitant.

To be honest, when this kind of thing happened, he was shameless in the face of Wang Qi.

"For the ruling lord, anything that is conducive to the development of the council and the society, he will open the door for him, and you can rest assured," Xu Guangqi smiled, and then ordered someone to get pen and ink.

After a while, a letter was written and handed to Lu Yu: "This letter is some of the old man's opinions on this matter, you can give it to the ruling lord, and he will consider it." ”

"Thank you, sir!" Lu Yuzhen took the letter again: "Without further ado, Lu rushed to Jizhou Mansion overnight. If this catastrophe is passed safely, Lu will come to thank him."

"The old man won't send it"

Not long after, Lu Yu left.

Xu Guangqi sat in the hall in a dark silk coat, with a new tea that had been rebrewed in his hand.

"Parliament, scientific society?" Xu Guangqi pursed his lips, his eyes full of worry and doubt.

After all, Wang Qi is really dividing part of the power in his hands.

This kind of thing has never happened for thousands of years.

Xu Guangqi was still hesitating.

"If this matter really happens," Xu Guangqi's fingers lightly tapped the table, and his eyes became more and more firm: "Even if the old man is staking his own body and bones, he will pave the way forward for something that has not been done for a thousand years."

On April 23, the first year of the Chinese Empire, Jizhou Mansion.

Early this morning, Ying Wencai was planning to lead the Jizhou Mansion out of the city to greet the arriving consuls.

But at the gate of the palace, I saw the messenger who had come to read the decree of the council.

"Jin Zhongcun asked you to come?" Ying Wencai squinted his eyes and looked at the messenger.

"Back to my lordship, Order No. 32 of the Jizhou Prefecture Council, please come with me," the envoy did not give Ying Wencai any face.

This vice president of the Shang Alliance, who was like the emperor of Jizhou Mansion, held back at the moment and did not break out, he knew that Jin Zhongcun's sudden defection must have a lot of hidden feelings.

Is it Wang Qi?

Ying Wencai guessed, but with his uncle Lu Yu, Ying Wencai felt that Wang Qi should give himself a face.

I won't arrest myself directly - after all, I just didn't implement the two-track resolution, not a big crime like rebellion.

"What about Jin Zhongcun?" Ying Wencai took a step back and retreated to his own group of servants: "The ruling lord is about to arrive in Jizhou Mansion, Ying needs to go to greet him, if there is anything, let him talk about it tomorrow!" ”

Ying Wencai wanted to contact his uncle first to find out about the recent news of the council.

"The consul can't be your turn to greet you, you have your own council and others, and the Shang Alliance is now under the control of the Society, please come with me," the envoy did not budge.

"Learn to manage the Business Alliance," Ying Wencai sneered: "According to what you say, I am a member of the Society, and the president of the Jizhou Mansion Science Society is vacant, and no one can judge me!" ”

"The president of the society is temporarily vacant, but the council has its own supervisory authority, and the council still has the right to seize twelve hours!"

The envoy said that, with a wave of his hand, his own official stepped forward to seize Ying Wencai.

"Which of you would dare to do it?" Ying Wencai shouted: "My uncle is one of the seven councilors!" ”

As soon as Ying Wencai's voice fell, a solemn voice came.

With the separation of the flow of people, the general soldiers of Jizhou came with troops.

"Climb to the councillors, talk nonsense, take down the !!"

Zhong Ping, the commander-in-chief of Jizhou, was a general who was promoted all the way with Wang Qi in Liaodong, and after receiving Wang Qi's warrant last night, he immediately led his troops to take Chen Juan'er to the city to control the situation. (End of chapter)
