Hundreds of households in Liaodong, covering the light with one hand

The Queen Mother was waiting for Wang Qi in Kunning Palace.

The young eunuch did not explain what the Empress Dowager's edict was about, but for Wang Qi, there was actually only one thing at the Empress Dowager's place that he did not need to bother Wang Qi to go to personally - that was about the Crown Prince Zhu Cian.

really,

After entering the palace, before Wang Qi could say hello, the Queen Mother had already stood up in a hurry, with a look of worry on her face: "My lord, just now, Shi Kefa of the Qing Dynasty suddenly attacked, frightening the prince, and he fainted when he returned to the palace."

Seeing the Queen Mother's panic, Wang Qi turned his head and looked at the Crown Prince lying on the bed - a child who had just turned one and a half years old and looked very well-behaved.

"Has the imperial doctor seen it?"

"The imperial doctor has come over to see me. He said it was a convulsion. He used an injection and medicine. He said he had to wait and come back in an hour. I was a little worried, so I asked someone to come over." The queen mother asked someone to come over. He brought a stool over for Wang Qi and sat between the curtain and the jade couch.

"Wang Qi doesn't understand medical science. It's useless for the Queen Mother to ask me to come here." Wang Qi had no intention of sitting down. He had other things to do in the government office.

"My lord, can you accompany me here and sit for a while?" When the Queen Mother heard that Wang Qi was leaving, she immediately stood up, her face a little pale.

Her husband has left, and now she only has her son by her side. If even Zhu Cian is gone, the Queen Mother doesn't know how she will survive.

And Wang Qi, he is the only person who can make the Queen Mother feel safe.

It is different from holding a heavy army.

It's not because he is so powerful that no one in the world can check him.

Wang Qi's personality and behavior are also different.

The only reason why the Queen Mother felt at ease was probably because the Queen Mother was a woman and Wang Qi was a man.

At this time, the most primitive dependence in people's hearts is the emotion and magnetic field between men and women.

Wang Qi—probably the kind of man that every woman in the world dreams of.

Looking at the Queen Mother intently, Wang Qi felt a little impatient. He had never been patient with people - even the Queen Mother's stunning beauty made him a little upset.

But everyone should know that what you do and what you want to do are always different.

While breathing, Wang Qi sat down as instructed.

"Come here," Wang Qi said, "call the imperial doctor again!"

Not long after, the imperial doctor arrived again. Under Wang Qi's gaze, the two imperial doctors with gray beards, who were known as the masters of young children, cautiously took the crown prince's pulse again, administered acupuncture, and were busy.

"Reporting to the Chief Sir, the Queen Mother," one of the imperial doctors bowed to Wang Qi: "The Crown Prince was just frightened, nothing serious. He will wake up after a short rest."

"But it's been more than half an hour now, and there's been no movement," Zhang Yan obviously didn't trust the medical skills of the two imperial doctors.

"This" the imperial doctor didn't know how to explain: "Everyone's physical qualifications are different, and they are different when they wake up, so we can't generalize."

After hearing the words of the imperial physician, Wang Qi stood up, walked to the bed, and looked down at the crown prince.

In a daze, the prince's eyes seemed to move slightly, showing signs of opening.

"His Royal Highness?" Wang Qi tried to call out.

Suddenly, Zhu Cian was murmuring in his sleep, as if calling someone.

"Aniang."

The prince's voice came.

Almost instantly, Zhang Yan rushed to the couch, knelt there and looked at her son with excitement: "Your Majesty, grandma is here, grandma is here."

"Thank you, the two imperial doctors." Wang Qi straightened up and raised his hands to the two imperial doctors.

"It doesn't matter, the prince will be fine when he wakes up." The two imperial doctors didn't dare to accept Wang Qi's salute. They took a step back and replied, "I'll leave later!"

Seeing that the prince had woken up, Wang Qi also bowed and resigned: "Queen Mother, Wang Qi has official business here, so I will retire first."

Gently wiping away the tears on her face, the Queen Mother stood up and said: "Thank you, my lord. Your Majesty has woken up, and I will not leave you here."

After Wang Qi left.

Zhu Cian fell asleep again after a while, and then the Queen Mother got up with peace of mind.

"Queen Mother, you should also take a rest. You have been working too hard these days. You have worked too hard." Looking at the Queen Mother's beautiful and pretty face that was getting thinner, the personal maid felt quite distressed.

Zhang Yan sat on the round stool, caressing her cheek with her hand, and gave a wry smile: "Since then, apart from His Royal Highness, I have no one close to me. It is normal to work hard. I only hope that the Prince can grow up smoothly." .”

"What are you talking about, Queen Mother?" Mammy comforted, "With Duke Qi here, who dares to despise you, Queen Mother?"

Duke of Qi?

Zhang Yan was stunned when she heard this, and there was a glimmer of hope in her eyes, but then it dimmed again - the Queen Mother is alone, and the Duke of Qi is a powerful official in the world, how can she support each other?

Looking at the Queen Mother's appearance, Mammy hesitated to speak, but in the end she did not speak.

----

House of Parliament, chief executive.

In the study, Wang Qi was replying to Sun Chuanting.

In recent days, Sun Chuanting has made great achievements in Shanxi. He led more than ten thousand Liaodong soldiers to drive Gao Yingxiang and Luo Rucai and other rebels across Shanxi to the south of Tongguan west and fled to Henan.

Sun Chuanting united with the eight major families headed by Fan Zhongjin to promote the parliamentary system and business alliance, and distributed rice porridge and food to temporarily appease the victims. On the other hand, he reformed the land area, divided the land according to people, and collected taxes based on the land area.

When the land-acre reform was first implemented, there was considerable resistance, so the Eight Great Masters headed by Fan Zhongjin took the lead in setting an example and donated half of their own acres for the implementation of the land-acre system. Wang Qi's name was even more prominent throughout Shanxi. Sun Chuanting was able to do whatever he wanted, and no one dared to restrain him.

Therefore, in the past three months, Shanxi's reform implementation has been smoother than Lu Yu's actions in Shuntianfu.

As for the rebels who left Tongguan and went to Henan?

Wang Qi put down the letter in his hand, with a hint of unbearability in his eyes.

"Sir," the waiter's voice sounded outside the door: "Lu Yu is back and will arrive in Beijing in about half an hour."

"Huh?" Wang Qi frowned: "When he comes back, let him come over to see me."

Lu Yu has been in Shuntian Prefecture for nearly three months, implementing reforms in Baodi County, Fengrun County, and Xiong County respectively. Now that the results are beginning to show, he naturally returned to Beijing to meet Wang Qi.

After a while, his eyes fell on the letter again, and a wry smile appeared on Wang Qi's lips: "After all, I am not a cold-blooded political machine."

After saying this, he took out a bright yellow silk paper from the table and wrote: "Commander-in-Chief of Shanxi and Henan Province, personally addressed to Lu Xiangsheng."

In the end, Wang Qi could not bear to watch the rioters turn Henan Road upside down with military disasters. Lu Xiangsheng is currently leading his troops to be stationed in Wen'an County, which is not far from Kaifeng, Henan.

In three days, there was enough time to rush to Henan Road to help.

Moreover, this can be used to completely bring Henan Road back to the parliament.

When most of the secret messages and folders on the table had finally disappeared, and the sun had set in the west, a waiter entered the room, lit a candle, and served simple dishes.

The dining room prepares meals for senior members every day. The daily dishes are not many and not so exquisite, but they are more delicious.

"Sir, Lu Yu is here!"

"What a coincidence, bring him over and let's have some food together," Wang Qi smiled upon hearing this, half an hour, no more, no less.

Not long after, the tired Lu Yu was brought to Wang Qi.

"Lu Yu pays homage to your lord!"

As soon as he entered the door, Lu Yu bowed deeply, respectfully and naturally.

Among the seven congressmen, Ye Xianggao, Sun Chengzong, and Xu Guangqi have high qualifications and are veterans of the three dynasties, and Wang Qi respects them.

Wang Huazhen is his biological uncle. Although he is close to him, he has the dignity of an elder.

Wang Tiqian is the chief minister of the inner palace, and he has a cooperative relationship with Wang Qi.

After all, Lu Yu is the closest to him.

"Get up, have you eaten? Sit down and eat something together," Wang Qi nodded at the chair in front of him.

"Hey, I happen to be hungry," Lu Yu touched her belly, licked her face and smiled, then sat naturally on the side, slightly lower than Wang Qi by half a shoulder.

"Have you had a smooth journey back from Xiong County?" Wang Qi poured the food in the bowl to himself, then put it all in front of Lu Yu.

Otherwise, Lu Yu would only eat the plate in front of her every time.

"In Shuntian Mansion, everything is currently stable, and there are no signs of chaos. The lower-level councils are developing in an orderly manner, and the business alliance is also being established from top to bottom. Although there are flaws in the process, all the grassroots creations are , it is inevitable that there are deficiencies. The Reform Department of the Parliament will visit various places every half month, and both the Parliament and the Business Alliance are constantly adjusting and improving."

"The reform in Baodi County was very successful in the first battle," Wang Qi said with rare praise.

"Before arriving in Baodi County, I had already figured out the relationship between various officials and businessmen in the county in advance. Regarding Yu Yonglu, I was originally prepared to do the same as the county magistrate, killing chickens to scare monkeys, but later, he had some perspective. He gave almost 90% of his family wealth and gave him a chance, which can be regarded as a fortune. In the subsequent county reforms, Yu Yonglu also made some contributions." Lu Yu went out to preside over the reform of Tianmu Huangzhuang this time, and his growth is not unreasonable. Big, and after this experience, the right to speak in the seven-person parliament will increase irresistibly.

No matter when, when qualifications are not enough, merit is the most solid step.

"I heard that Yu Yonglu has a son in the Imperial College?" Wang Qi asked casually.

Lu Yu was stunned when he heard this. He had not told Wang Qi about this matter, but Wang Qi had been secretly guarding him for a long time, so it was nothing if he knew these things. He immediately nodded and said: "My lord, my name is Yu Changyu, and he is in the Four Literature Hall of the Imperial College. read."

"Well, we can let him serve as a propagandist and a role model in the Imperial College. He can publicize this matter in the Imperial College first, and form an upsurge of discussion among the young scholars. Once the atmosphere is established, it will be supplemented by the academy and Taoism. The article preaches that when it is fully rolled out in the future, there will be less resistance to this matter. You can contact Mr. Xu to handle it." After saying that, Wang Qi had already finished eating, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip.

Everything about the food in the dining room was good, but it was too greasy.

But people in the capital have liked this taste for many years.

Wang Qi was too lazy to let them change it.

Liu Luyu had a meal, and then sat and drank several cups of Tieguanyin.

Lu Yu sat there and hesitated for a long time before speaking: "Sir."

"Huh?" The faint fragrance of Tieguanyin lingered on his nose, and Wang Qi could relax temporarily.

"The Emperor has passed away." Lu Yu looked at Wang Qi with a bit of hesitation on his expression.

"Just say what you have to say," Wang Qi still had his eyes closed, enjoying the leisure after dinner.

"I heard on the road that Shi Kefa made a big fuss in the mourning hall today," Lu Yu finally said: "Now that the emperor is dead, and Shi Kefa is so decisive! With this, Nanjing may really establish a new emperor!"

"What do you mean?" Wang Qi's reaction was as plain as water.

"It's early, King General." Lu Yu didn't finish his words, but that look in his eyes said everything.

The emperor is dead, so we can't let King Xin pick the peaches, right?

"It's not necessary." After a while, Wang Qi opened his eyes and felt much more comfortable: "King Xin, he is a good boy."

Ok? ? ?

Wang Qi's words made Lu Yu a little confused.

"Let's go back home. I've been away for more than a month. As soon as I returned to the capital, I was delayed for an hour. I'm afraid my sister-in-law didn't want to talk to me," Wang Qi said jokingly, always coldly.

Everyone from far and near knows that Lu Yu is famous for being a strict control of his wives and concubines. Whenever he mentions the affairs of the family, he is sweating profusely. A wife and two aunts, with one voice, have suppressed Lu Yu to death.

"Hey, having too many wives and concubines at home is really annoying," Wang Qi didn't want to say more. Naturally, Lu Yu understood what Wang Qi was saying and followed Wang Qi's lead and said, "Your Majesty, you are enviable."

After listening to Lu Yu's words, Wang Qi moved the corners of his mouth, thinking of Hai Lanzhu, and then the tearful look of Princess Ningde, and finally showed a wry smile: "Hey, what are you envious of? I just feel the same way."

"Uh" If it were someone else, Lu Yu would have laughed loudly to avoid ridicule, but facing Wang Qi, she could only suppress her smile and nod in agreement.

"Your Excellency, take a rest. Lu Yu has retired first." Lu Yu also knew that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time, so he immediately stood up and left.

"Go," Wang Qi waved his hand and wanted to take a rest.

Wang Qi had been the chief executive for more than a few months, and he realized that everything was complicated. Remembering that Zhang Juzheng was the chief minister of the cabinet and was responsible for the country's military and political affairs, people often said at the time: I am not the prime minister, but the Prime Minister.

At that time, Zhang Taiyue had great authority, which was extraordinary for an ordinary prime minister.

Wang Qi felt that his historical contribution may be too early to compare with that of Zhang Taiyue, but in terms of power, he has indeed greatly surpassed him: "In running a country, there is more to cooking than just cooking small delicacies?"

Lying on the armchair, Wang Qi raised his fingers one by one: Liaodong, Shandong, Gyeonggi Province, Shanxi, Shaanxi-Gansu, and Henan Prefecture. Now there is another Japanese country whose situation is unknown.

Hey, there was excitement in Wang Qi's eyes.

A real man should fight in the world!

At this moment, Li Qingsong's voice came from outside the door: "Sir, Zheng Zhilong has been found!"

So fast?

Wang Qi stood up and called Li Qingsong in: "Where is he?"

"We're in the capital. We've sent someone to bring him here. Do you want to see me now, sir?"

"Well, by the way, I'll also invite the people who supervise the construction of the Yamen. I have something to talk about!"

Supervising Yamen?

Jinyiwei, Qiu Tong? (End of chapter)
