Beijing City, General Council Yamen, Chunhua Pavilion.

"Wang Shou has done a good job in Nanjing," Wang Qi sat on a chair and looked at the report that had just come from Nanjing: "The system and norms of the factory need to learn from the experience of the factory owners and workers at the grassroots level, set up a congress, and discuss and reach consensus many times, so that most people can recognize this system, which is another form of parliamentary system."

Wang Huazhen, who was sitting on the side, nodded: "Various non-governmental organizations have a great role in promoting the development of parliaments and scientific societies, and from Liaodong alone, the trade standards formulated by the commercial banks have been approved by the parliament, and they will be piloted in Liaodong, and if feasible, they will try to be promoted nationwide." ”

"But there is one thing to pay attention to," Ye Xianggao stroked his beard lightly: "Various types of organizational forms have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and if they are not standardized, the nature of some organizations will change over time. ”

"The Department of Reform and Development has begun to conduct preliminary screening and inspection of various forms of organizations across the country, and it is expected that in March next year, new regulations on various organizational forms will be issued," Lu Yu is mainly responsible for correcting many new things that have appeared in the reform process, so after Ye Xianggao raised a question, he opened his mouth to answer.

About half an hour later, today's meeting ended, Wang Huazhen, Lu Yu and others still had official business, got up and left, and Xu Guangqi was already in the scientific society, and he also took the first step.

In the house, only Wang Qi and Ye Xianggao were left.

After each meeting, Wang Qi would sit alone in the pavilion for a while, which was a habit that everyone knew, so if someone wanted to play alone with the archon, then they would stay silently, and the others would know it.

"Lord Ye, I heard that your little grandson has been admitted to the Fuzhou Science Society, ranking first on the list, and will become a full member tomorrow, congratulations!" Wang Qi was the first to speak, tasted Gu Shunzhai's new pastry, and continued: "Why don't you let him choose the headquarters of the society in Beijing?" It should be more suitable for scientific research. ”

"What the ruling lord said is also reasonable, but people are self-aware," Ye Xianggao shook his head and said: "My grandson knows his own catties, and the most he can do when he comes to Beijing is to enter the society. ”

"Well, the coastal areas of Fujian have always had developed shipping, and they are very close to Taiwan," Wang Qi said while chewing on his pastry: "It's an excellent point to go to sea."

There was a pair chatting, Wang Qi was waiting for Ye Xianggao to speak.

"Sun Chengzong told the old man, Wang Tiqian Zhishi," after a while, Ye Xianggao finally spoke: "Among the seven councilors, the old man is the oldest, and he has done some things in the past few years, but in general, he just relies on his past qualifications to make a fool of himself. ”

Listening to Ye Xianggao's words, Wang Qi didn't have too many surprised expressions, he just smiled: "Use your own prestige to balance the forces of all parties and escort the stability of the council, Lord Ye's credit is greater than anyone else's, no one will say anything behind his back, even if there is, it is just a short-sighted person, why do you have to meet them in general?" I want you to stay for another term, at least eight years. ”

"Lord Archon." Ye Xianggao's voice was low, with a hint of gloom: "The old man was originally the leader of the former Ming Donglin, and then united with you, sat firmly in the cabinet, and then balanced the court and stabilized all parties, until you returned from Liaodong, usurped the court, and legislated, the old man had to sit with you, originally the old man had to do it as a last resort, after all, you had the most powerful soldiers and horses in the world in your hands at that time, and the emperor was in your hands, and Zhu Youzhen was far away in Huzhou, far away from water could not quench the thirst, the old man could only cooperate with you but what happened later, Greatly beyond the old man's expectations, you rejected the temptation to take a step forward and easily become the emperor, and chose the most difficult, but also the least understood path, and went farther and farther, more and more stable, up to now, the parliamentary rule has taken root in Kyushu under heaven, and in less than three or five years, it will be a complete foothold, after the stubborn death of the older generation, the parliament is the most original expectation in the hearts of the people of the world. ”

Wang Qi listened quietly, he wanted to know Ye Xianggao's true thoughts.

"But," there was silence for a moment, and Ye Xianggao still spoke: "The old man is now in a panic day and night, afraid that this great rule of the world, which could have been praised for all generations, will be destroyed in the hands of the old man!" ”

"What are you worried about?" Wang Qi smiled and looked at Ye Xianggao, the dim eyes of the former Ming cabinet chief assistant had extremely deep wisdom, and it was far from the point of being dizzy.

"Now the people are rumoring that a month ago, Empress Dowager Zhang's birthday banquet, the ruling lord stayed in the palace?" Ye Xiang looked at Wang Qi fixedly, as if he wanted to see a trace of remorse on Wang Qi's face.

"Hahaha," Wang Qi smiled, laughing very happily,

Wang Qi didn't want to hide this kind of thing.

"What does this matter have to do with you suing the old man?" Wang Qi looked at Ye Xianggao with interest.

At such a moment, Wang Qi felt that Ye Xianggao's political wisdom was the top in this era.

Slowly getting up from the chair, Ye Xianggao bowed deeply to Wang Qi: "Old minister, I respectfully ask the ruling lord to choose an auspicious day to marry the empress dowager of the previous dynasty to calm people's hearts!! ”

The four words of settling people's hearts came out.

Wang Qi only felt that compared to these so-called Confucians, he was really small in his face!

Since Wang Qi stayed in the Empress Dowager's palace a month ago, almost everyone knows about this relationship.

But no one dared to speak.

Whether it's angry scolding or congratulatory congratulations.

None of them.

Why?

Because the pay and benefits are not equal!

Now, when Ye Xianggao proposed Zhishi, he moved out this suggestion.

The meaning is clear.

The old man doesn't want this face, help you marry the queen mother home, the old man takes retreat as advance, you take action, help me sit firmly as a big councilor!

What is this called, this is called mutual benefit and win-win!

Ye Xianggao looked at Wang Qi and waited for his reply.

If Wang Qi refuses, then Ye Xianggao is also ready to really return to his hometown.

After a while, Wang Qi's expression was playful, and he neither refused nor agreed, but just said: "Lord Ye, you can continue to be a member of the Great Council for three years, but forget about the second session." ”

Wang Qi never thought about marrying the Empress Dowager Zhang Yan.

It's not a question of daring or not.

This is not a problem at all.

And Ye Xianggao thought about this matter too complicated.

Moreover, it has become a bargaining chip for oneself.

Hearing Wang Qi's reply, Ye Xianggao's originally straight waist pulled down in an instant.

He knew that this time, he had made a mistake. (End of chapter)
