Flowing fire in July, Weiyang in August, clothing in September, rice in October, hidden dragon in Jiayue, and Wax Moon Carnival;

Time passes, it is winter;

Time always slips away inadvertently;

Tang Guiyi took over Zhuang Feng's work and diligently took care of the affairs of the governor's hall;

Zhuang Feng is happy and leisurely, and he looks like a boss with his feet up;

Regarding the re-emergence of Zhuang Feng and the annexation of Jiangzhou Shaozhou, Jindu behaved very indifferently and did not react excessively;

The calm of Jindu is in Zhuang Feng's prediction;

This year is the year of the change, the cabinet power is about to change, all parties are doing the final wrestling, and there is no time to pay attention to Zhuang Feng;

Zhuang Feng, who was ignored, was pushing himself in a wheelchair alone and quietly burning a cigarette in the corridor, looking at the rain dripping from the eaves from time to time;

Zhuang Feng's injuries are somewhat serious, and after three or four months of recuperation, some have improved, but he still needs the assistance of a wheelchair;

"I'm in a good mood;" Zhuang Feng was quietly watching the rain fall while the smoke was burning, and Tang Guiyi's voice sounded;

"It's been a long time since I've felt the winter rain and fog in Jiangzhou so quietly;" Zhuang Feng said casually, as if he was a little nostalgic;

"That is, you people have the heart to be sad and sad, how can you be a hard-working person like me, who is oppressed all the time;" Tang Guiyi said in accordance with Zhuang Feng's words;

"I want to be a councilor in Jiangzhou;" Zhuang Feng said calmly;

With Zhuang Feng's words, Tang Guiyi fell silent, and only after a long time did he say aloud: "Do you remember the forestry incident?"

"Remember;" replied Zhuang Feng calmly;

What Tang Guiyi said about forestry was 14 years ago;

Forestry, like Zhuang, belongs to one of the local potentials, and the forestry industry came to the fore after the unification of Hakka and became the parliamentarian of Hakka;

At that time, the behavior of forestry made the major families a little silent; according to the rules of Jinguo, these families were in a hidden state, but they actually controlled the states, and there was no existence of these so-called families on the surface;

At that time, the founder of the Jinguo, a generation of male lords, Yang Yue, was deaf in his later years, tyrannical and murderous, abolished the parliament, monopolized power, and formed a de facto dictator, resulting in the newly established Jinguo being put on the verge of collapse;

In order to avoid the recurrence of the Yang Yue incident, the Gong faction headed by the founding father Zhou Xizong united with the eight major factions of Jinguo to jointly launch a coup d'état, restore the parliament, and implement a democratically elected coalition cabinet to govern, thus entering the era of democracy.

This seemed like a good result, but Zhou Xizong became another dictator after Yang Yue, and ten years after the successful coup, according to the Jinguo constitution, Zhou Xizong would hand over power for cabinet rotation;

At this time, the coup d'état happened again, and Zhou Xizong not only did not hand over power for cabinet rotation, but instead drove the eight major factions out of the cabinet and established the exclusive cabinet of the Gong faction;

The difference is that Zhou Xizong did not repeat the mistakes of Yang Yue, although Jinguo became the world of the Gong faction, and Zhou Xizong also became a lifelong ruler, but he also vigorously restored the people's livelihood, and the rule of officials was still Qingming, and Jinguo also passed the turmoil of the nascent period and entered a peaceful and prosperous era;

After the death of Zhou Xizong, the system of lifelong governance was terminated, and the cabinet was also rotated every ten years according to the rules, although it was only rotated within the Gong faction, and the other eight factions still had no share, but it was better than a one-man dictatorship;

As for the other eight major factions, under the continuous attack and weakening of the Gong faction, the eight major factions have less than 10 percent of the seats in the parliament, and the Gong faction occupies more than 90 percent of the seats in the parliament; the eight major factions are already just a plaque of democracy, and if they are they they are democracy, and without them they are dictatorships;

The older generations of the major families also went into hiding after such a coup d'état; they were all experienced by the events of that year, and they no longer believed in the so-called democracy of the Gong faction;

It is precisely because the major families no longer believe in the so-called Gongpai democracy that no one will come to the fore and become a member of the state legislature, until 14 years ago, the forestry industry in Hakka suddenly came to the fore and became a non-factional member of parliament in Hakka;

The reason for the silence of the major families is actually to wait and see, to see if the Gong faction has changed in the years after Zhou Xizong, and to see what the forestry industry will do;

Forestry became a non-factional member of the Hakka state, and went to Jindu that year to participate in the parliamentary election of the cabinet change that year;

Forestry arrived in Jindu and also participated in the parliamentary election, but before the cabinet election was completed, forestry had a car accident and died on the spot;

As for the death of forestry, the major families can be regarded as clear; Jinguo is the world of the Gong faction, and the others can only be a decoration; because the perpetrator of the forestry car accident is just an ordinary taxi;

As a member of parliament in the forestry industry, coupled with the strength of the Lin family in Kezhou, a taxi accident in Jindu led to death;

Such a statement can be explained to civilians, but no one in the major families is half as stupid as anyone else, the head of the Lin family, not to mention how thoughtful it is to be foolproof, but it will not be killed by a taxi;

At that time, Zhuang Feng was being banished to Jiangzhou to be a little gangster who showed people a scene, and even Zhuang Feng, who didn't know much about the inside story of these battles at that time, thought it was a bit strange, not to mention other people;

The accidental death of forestry is not completely worthless, at least it has alerted the major families;

With the lessons of forestry, all families began to expand their strength while hiding themselves, no longer just trying to protect themselves and be a peaceful rich man like in the era of Yang Yue and Zhou Xizong;

Although forestry died unexpectedly because of walking to the forefront, the major families thought more;

The year of the accidental death of forestry was the forty-ninth year of the Jinli calendar, that is, the forty-ninth year of the Gongpai world, and the foundation was not really solid for the country of Jinguo;

When the foundation of the Gongpai is deeply rooted, it will be the end of the major families, and under such a sense of crisis, the families in each state have also shifted from only trying to preserve themselves to expanding their strength;

The major families expanded their strength, and the Gong faction stabilized the foundation, and under the peaceful and prosperous times, the undercurrent surged;

Up to now, in the winter of the sixty-third year of the Jinli calendar, the Gong faction still controls the world of Jinguo, but it has also fallen rapidly in the past 14 years; the officials are corrupt, corruption is rampant, the cabinet leaders are ignorant of the people's suffering, and the noble and wealthy families are drunk and dreaming of death;

Correspondingly, the major families have also expanded and disputed each other in the past fourteen years, and the Taiping and prosperous times seem to have only the last layer of fig leaf left, which will be exposed as long as they are gently pulled;

Regarding the forestry of that year, Tang Guiyi naturally knew about it;

Since Zhuang Feng knew about forestry back then, but now he wants to take the road of forestry, which makes Tang Guiyi a little unable to understand what Zhuang Feng is thinking;

"There is no way through forestry, I want to go through;" Zhuang Feng looked at Tang Guiyi, who was silent, and said quite seriously;

Tang Guiyi listened to Zhuang Feng's words, and probably understood Zhuang Feng's thoughts; or at that time, Tang Guiyi and Zhuang Feng were still young and innocent, and under the influence of Old Man Zhuang, they also had such a dream about the world; or maybe they were just young and naïve, thinking that they could change the way of the world;

Today, many years later, after going through so many people, Tang Guiyi has long lost the innocence of his youth, and his dream has been drowned out by reality;

just looked at Zhuang Feng's serious appearance, it seemed that he was still thinking about the dream of his youth;

"There is no way through forestry, can you go through?" Tang Guiyi thought and said aloud;

"Forestry was only a state back then, and I was better than him, well, at least that's what I thought;" Zhuang Feng thought about something there, and looked quite confident;

"We only have two states;" Tang Guiyi told the truth;

What Tang Guiyi said is the truth, there are now thirty-four states in Jinguo, and the two states in Zhuang Feng's hands are no different from one state in forestry in terms of strength;

Although Zhuang Feng had a time difference in the cabinet handover, Jindu could not spare his hands to solve Zhuang Feng's affairs, but if Zhuang Feng went to Jindu, it would be the same result as forestry, and an accident would lead to death;

"Dongqin once said ten years ago, if I work hard for ten years, maybe the world may be able to compete;" Zhuang Feng seemed to fall into memory again;

Tang Guiyi naturally knew about Qin Dongqin and Zhuang Feng; Zhuang Feng suddenly said this, Tang Guiyi was not surprised;

"What she said was back then, on the basis of your possession of the five southwestern states, plus the Qin clan's protection of the two states;" Tang Guiyi continued to tell the truth;

"Yes, I regret it now, I should have listened to Dongqin's words at the beginning, and I didn't care about the world for three points, but I played too sadly;" Zhuang Feng seemed to be still immersed in his memory;

In Tang Guiyi's memory, Zhuang Feng never regretted it; or in Zhuang Feng's words, after the personnel have passed, can regret come again? Will those who have passed come back? Even if they can come again, even if they are gone, they may come back, but can they still come back after they die? No, so what's the use of regretting;

Tang Guiyi understands Zhuang Feng's concept, and also knows that Zhuang Feng never regrets doing things, but now he listens to Zhuang Feng say that he regrets it, and there are some people who don't know how to pick up Zhuang Feng's words;

"It's just talking, thinking too much;" Zhuang Feng looked at the silent Tang Guiyi, and explained to himself;

"Do you think I don't know you well enough?" Tang Guiyi followed Zhuang Feng's words and asked rhetorically;

"Yes;" Zhuang Feng said earnestly;

Zhuang Feng's words made Tang Guiyi speechless, Tang Guiyi has always admitted that he understands Zhuang Feng, but now Zhuang Feng is so sure that Tang Guiyi does not understand him;

"Actually, the two states of the clan have always been under my control;" Zhuang Feng looked at Tang Guiyi, who was speechless, and said calmly;

Zhuang Feng's words shocked Tang Guiyi, and he couldn't react with that or there;

Tang Guiyi also knew something about the matter between Zhuang Feng and Qin Dongqin, at least he knew that Zhuang Feng also made a special trip to help Qin Dongqin back then;

Later, Tang Guiyi left Zhuang Feng, about the specific emotional entanglements between Zhuang Feng and Qin Dongqin, or when Zhuang Feng was in the hospital in the summer, he said that Qin Dongqin had passed away, and then he continued to say that to Tang Guiyi;

According to Zhuang Feng, Qin Dongqin died of illness, and his sister Qin Qing was unable to control the Qin family, so she had withdrawn from Jinguo and went to Beiwu;

Tang Guiyi believed Zhuang Feng's statement, because Qin Qing was different from his sister Qin Dongqin;

As the eldest daughter, Qin Dongqin is naturally cultivated and educated as the heir of the family, and to become a qualified heir of the family, the complexity of the knowledge learned and the cruelty of the tempering mood are absolutely acceptable to people;

Perhaps as a father, it is difficult to choose between two daughters, the old man Qin designated Qin Dongqin as the heir of the family, and he was very strict with Qin Dongqin, but he did not have such requirements for Qin Qing;

Having a daughter who is tempered so harshly is uncomfortable enough for a father, so Qin Qing's growth is very ordinary, and it is completely free to grow up by Qin Qing's personality;

Qin Qing, who grew up freely, did not participate in the affairs of the family, nor did he have the tempering like Qin Dongqin, he should have lived a happy and simple life very casually under the protection of Qin Dongqin, but Qin Dongqin died of illness, and Qin Qing had to take over the Qin family;

It's just that he hasn't experienced hardship, and it was only after Qin Dongqin found out about his illness that he began to teach Qin Qing, that time was too short, so short that Qin Qing didn't have enough ability to take on the heavy responsibility of the family alone;

Perhaps it is precisely because Qin Qing does not have enough ability to bear the heavy responsibility of the family, so after Qin Dongqin died of illness, Qin Qing will leave Jinguo with the Qin family's family background and go to the Northern Wuguo, which is adjacent to Jinguo;

Beiwu is only a small country, with the strength of the Qin family, it can be completely replaced, perhaps in such a country, Qin Qing will continue her casual life;

Zhuang Feng said that after Qin Dongqin died of illness, Qin Qing went to Beiwu, and Tang Guiyi also thought the same way, Qin Qing would continue her casual life;

Qin Qing's departure caused chaos in the northwest, and Tang Guiyi also knew about this without Zhuang Feng saying it, but he didn't know that the chaos in the northwest states was because of Qin Dongqin's death;

It has only been a few months since Zhuang Feng talked about the Qin family, and Zhuang Feng actually changed his words, saying that the Qin family's territory was under his control of Zhuang Feng, which made Tang Guiyi and there not know how to accept it;

"Give me a cigarette;" Tang Guiyi reacted easily and said out loud;

Zhuang Feng handed Tang Guiyi a cigarette and did not speak, perhaps Zhuang Feng also knew that Tang Guiyi still needed some time to accept this;

Tang Guiyi lit a cigarette a little rusty, and took a deep breath there, people who don't smoke learn from Zhuang Feng to take a deep breath, and they will naturally choke, Tang Guiyi is no exception, he choked with a sip there, coughing very hard;

Zhuang Feng looked at Tang Guiyi choking there, habitually lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and looked like usual;

"I'm going to go to Huzhou;" Zhuang Feng looked at Tang Guiyi and breathed his breath easily, and said to himself;

"Who will manage?" Tang Guiyi regained his normal thinking ability from the shock and asked seriously;

Since Zhuang Feng dared to say that the two states were under his control, then Tang Guiyi believed that this was true; with Tang Guiyi's understanding of Zhuang Feng, perhaps there were some factors in Zhuang Feng's character that were not decisive enough, which led to Zhuang Feng not easily determining anything, but once it was determined, it was a decision, and if he said something, it must be true and effective;

"Qin Qing;" Zhuang Feng replied smoothly;

"Didn't you say that Qin Qing left because he wasn't capable enough?" Tang Guiyi asked rhetorically;

Zhuang Feng's words are indeed a bit self-contradictory, since Qin Qing chose to leave because he did not have enough ability to take care of the affairs of the Qin family;

"For more than two years, I think Qin Qing should have enough ability to take care of the affairs of the Qin family;" Zhuang Feng also said with some uncertainty;

Tang Guiyi listened to Zhuang Feng's words and thought, but he still had some doubts, so he said loudly: "A young lady who ignores the world can grow into a qualified manager in two years?"

"It should be possible, you see that Xiaoyu has managed the trading company so well in just half a year;" Zhuang Feng thought for a moment and said there;

Zhuang Feng said that Xiaoyu, this Tang Guiyi also had to admit that Xiaoyu was indeed a talent; from an ordinary girl who had never been in business, or even had no practice stalls, she straightened out such a huge business group as a trading company in just half a year;

Especially after Wu Hui's incident, the trading company was greatly affected, after all, Wu Hui had followed Zheng Shan to manage the trading company for so many years, and suddenly there was such a trouble, and the impact was still quite big;

After Xiaoyu took over, this straightened out the operation of the trading company within half a year, and restored the trading company to the scale of the era controlled by Zheng Shan, and its ability really surprised Tang Guiyi;

"When are you going to Huzhou?" Tang Guiyi determined Xiaoyu's ability, thinking that Qin Qing should not be worse than Xiaoyu;

Xiaoyu was just an ordinary girl before returning to Jiangzhou with Zhuang Feng, and she had never been in contact with their level of affairs, but she did so well with her own ability;

Coupled with the teaching of Qin Qing that began after Qin Dongqin's illness was diagnosed, coupled with the fact that Qin Dongqin died of illness for more than two years, it should indeed be as Zhuang Feng said, how can there be some growth;

"I want to take the identity of a Jiangzhou councilor and go to Huzhou again;" Zhuang Feng responded to Tang Guiyi;

"Xiao Zhuang, I am against the matter of coming to the front desk;" Tang Guiyi looked at Zhuang Feng and seemed to insist on being a member of the Jiangzhou Council, and said solemnly there;

"Reason;" Zhuang Feng said calmly;

"I don't object to the number of forestry you want to take the road of forestry, how to say that it is our dream, but the current situation is unstable, what is the style of the new cabinet, what kind of political philosophy they have, these are not understood, and most importantly, our strength is not enough;" Tang Guiyi said seriously;

After a sigh of relief, he continued: "I don't know exactly how you deal with the two states, I think you think you have the identity of a councilor to protect the state, and you can use it at some point, but I still oppose going to the front desk now;

Tang Guiyi finished speaking calmly, waiting for Zhuang Feng to respond;

"Okay, just do as you say, don't go to the front desk first;" Zhuang Feng thought for a long time, and then said with a little reluctance;

"That's the best;" Tang Guiyi looked at Zhuang Feng's somewhat reluctant appearance, and breathed a sigh of relief there;

Zhuang Feng's character is a little stubborn, if Zhuang Feng insists on going to the front desk now, then Tang Guiyi can't stop it;

"If you don't become the Jiangzhou councilor of Na Laoshizi, then I won't be involved in the general election for the cabinet change that will start at the end of this year;" Zhuang Feng looked at Tang Guiyi's relaxed appearance after being nervous, and said calmly there;

"That's nothing for us to do," Tang Guiyi said calmly;

"If it's okay, I'd like to go out for a walk;" Zhuang Feng continued;

"Go to Huzhou?" Tang Guiyi asked;

"It's such a cold day, my body can't stand it, wait for the spring to begin, the weather is milder;" Zhuang Feng said jokingly;

Tang Guiyi originally thought that Zhuang Feng was going to Huzhou, and was about to dissuade him; Huzhou is located in the northwesternmost part of Jin, which belongs to the so-called bitter cold land;

If it's an ordinary person, it's just a matter of keeping warm; it's just that Zhuang Feng is injured, and he can't afford to run to Huzhou in this winter;

Fortunately, Tang Guiyi has not yet spoken the words of dissuasion, Zhuang Feng himself is still sensible, and he knows his current health condition;

"Then where are you going?" Tang Guiyi heard that Zhuang Feng was not going to Huzhou, so he asked there;

"Pingzhou;" Zhuang Feng said casually;

"Pingzhou?" Tang Guiyi asked suspiciously;

Pingzhou is located in the southeast of Jinguo, and Jiangzhou in the southwest is still a little far away, and it does not belong to Zhuang Feng's sphere of influence, and he doesn't even know anyone who knows him, Tang Guiyi doesn't quite understand which one Zhuang Feng is singing;

"Well, let's go over and have a look, and celebrate the New Year with Happy by the way;" Zhuang Feng said casually;

"It can't be that you and Zhou Shao are plotting to annex Pingzhou, right?" Tang Guiyi listened to Zhuang Feng's casual words, and said jokingly there;

Pingzhou is located in the east of Tingzhou, bordering Tingzhou, if Zhuang Feng and Zhou Jian conspire to annex Pingzhou, then Zhou Jian's power will expand to the southeast of Jinguo, plus Zhou Jian and Zhuang Feng's friendship, this annexation of Pingzhou Zhuang Feng can also get corresponding benefits, this think about Zhuang Feng said to go to Pingzhou, then conspire with Zhou Jian Pingzhou, this is not impossible;

"Seventh brother, seriously, I think you are more suitable for being a family than me;" Zhuang Feng looked at Tang Guiyi and said seriously;

Zhuang Feng suddenly said such a sentence, which made Tang Guiyi a little confused;

"Everything can be associated with the interests of the family, and I don't take this as seriously as you;" Looking at Tang Guiyi's somewhat puzzled appearance, Zhuang Feng said loudly;

Zhuang Feng's words made Tang Guiyi speechless, made a gesture there, and then walked away quite chicly;

Seeing Tang Guiyi leave his back, Zhuang Feng also pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled there;
