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

Beijing City, the executive residence.

A sedan made entirely of mahogany and gilded with strips stopped steadily at the door.

Wang Shouxin and all the entourage in Beijing arrived.

Obviously waiting for someone.

The sedan curtain was slowly opened, and Qin Erbao walked out of it with his body hunched over.

"Governor Qin, long time no see!"

"Greetings to the Governor!"

Officials in Beijing headed by Wang Shouxin and a group of civil and military officials who were originally Liaodong's cronies came forward to see the ceremony.

"Brothers, there's no need to be polite." Qin Erbao didn't show any pretense as a governor. He cupped his hands in front of everyone, and then looked at Wang Shouxin: "How are you, my lord?"

"I'm already waiting in the study." Wang Shouxin said softly.

"I'm going to visit the Lord Consul first!" Qin Erbao cupped his hands and said, "Everyone, I'm sorry, I'll go to see the Lord Consul in his study first."

After saying this, Qin Erbao stepped into the mansion.

Qin Erbao hasn't seen Wang Qi for a long time.

After bypassing three corridors and finally stopping in a quiet and elegant courtyard, Qin Erbao was still a little nervous.

Wow!

Qin Erbao shook his sleeves to straighten his makeup, and then quietly stood in the courtyard, waiting for the attendant's announcement.

Not long after, the attendant turned around and came to Qin Erbao: "Your Majesty the Governor, the consul has invited you."

A crunch.

The door was pushed open and Qin Erbao stepped softly into the house.

Wang Qi was still sitting there, holding a letter from Liaodong in his hand, and it seemed that he was still replying: "Sit down."

"Hey," Qin Erbao replied softly before touching half of his butt and sitting down gently.

"Cao Wenzhao's letter states that the internal forces in North Korea colluded with the Japanese prodigals and wanted to restore the country." Wang Qi did not raise his head and replied to the letter: "At this time, you must not be merciful. You must kill many people in order to let some People know what reality is."

Nodding silently, Qin Erbao didn't know what Wang Qi was referring to.

After about a quarter of an hour, Wang Qi finally finished replying to the letters on the table, and then raised his head: "Do you think that after my next retirement, some reactionary forces will rise in the country?"

"Ah?" Qin Erbao was stunned and said in a loss of voice: "Sir, do you really want to resign?"

"Sometimes, only by withdrawing can you see more clearly and further," Wang Qi said with a smile: "And this time I asked you to come back to make you mentally prepared."

As soon as these words came out, Qin Erbao's eyes moved slightly, and he already understood what Wang Qi's words meant.

"Sir, Qin Erbao can't guarantee anything else, but the servant who led the horse and whip for you is still there! As long as you give your order, Erbao will die for you at any time!"

"It's not about being effective, just be prepared," Wang Qi leaned on the chair: "Have you brought your daughter with you when you return to Beijing this time?"

"Hey, the family of seven has returned to Beijing to settle down. It's hard to come back this time, just to stay longer." Qin Erbao grinned: "On the way, Xiao Nizi was thinking about her Lian'er. Brother, I just arrived in Beijing this morning and I have already sent him to the back house of the mansion to find Brother Lian'er."

"Children, it's good to play together and develop relationships," Wang Qi nodded. After chatting for a long time, a guard announced outside: "Sir, Governor Cao and Governor Lu have also arrived."

When Wang Qi heard this, he stood up and said, "Let's go, those old people in Liaodong are still waiting."

"My lord, please," Qin Erbao stood up and followed behind him, moving slowly.

This time, taking advantage of Qin Erbao, Cao Wenzhao, Lu Xiangsheng and others to return to Beijing, the Liaodong veterans who originally belonged to Wang Qi and a few civil servants gathered together, and the banquet lasted until late at night.

"I haven't been so happy for a long time since I entered the customs in the south and reached a high position." Qin Erbao and Wang Shouxin were arm in arm, drinking and loving each other, and their respective identities were nothing more than long-time friends.

Cao Wenzhao, Lu Xiangsheng and others also came forward to toast Wang Qi. The long toasting team could not be seen at the end.

The remaining generals also sat in a circle, recalling the past, laughing and cursing.

There was a lively scene in the whole hall.

----

Ye Mansion, study room.

"Father, today the consul invited all the former Liaodong generals to drink in the mansion. I heard it will last until the end of the day." Ye Chengxue, Ye Xianggao's son, was sitting in his father's study at the moment, holding a cup of hot tea. , placed gently on the edge of father's table.

"Then Qin Erbao, Lu Xiangsheng, Cao Wenzhao and others are all here?" Ye Xianggao has been in the officialdom for decades and is now at the pinnacle of power. Although he looks very old, there is a sharp look in his eyes from time to time. Mang is still frightening.

"We are all here, Qin Erbao seems to be very flamboyant," Ye Chengxue sneered: "Now at the critical moment of the second parliamentary election, what does the ruling person mean by this move?"

"It's just for show," Ye Xianggao pursed his lips tightly, his eyes solemn: "Tell others that he, Wang Qi, is in charge of the world's soldiers and horses, so don't act rashly."

"At this time?" Ye Chengxue was a little confused.

"He has already announced to the outside world that he is about to step down in the next term, so he made arrangements in advance." Ye Xianggao muttered, and then breathed out after a while: "It also means to warn me."

Because of Queen Mother Zhang's incident, Wang Qi's feelings towards Ye Xianggao have turned sour. In the last private conversation, Wang Qi's meaning was very clear - after one term, you can leave. I'll have someone to replace you.

And Ye Xianggao is now faced with the problem of leaving the tea cold.

Every time he thinks about this, Ye Xianggao feels deep reluctance rising from the bottom of his heart!

Why?
I also followed you, Wang Qi, to fight through mountains of swords and seas of fire!
When the Donglin Party was fighting, had I not helped you speak out, how could you have been so smooth sailing in Liaodong?

When Han Xu and Zuo Guangdou impeached you, it wasn't me who waved the flag and shouted, how could you calmly deal with the White Lotus Sect in Tongzhou Prefecture?

When Liu Yijing came to remonstrate with him, it was not because I was liaising outside. How could you have escaped so easily?

Later, you overthrew the monarchy, imprisoned the emperor, and controlled the four-nine cities. If I hadn't been on your side, how could you have controlled the court so smoothly?

Then Sun Chengzong, Wang Tiqian and others only joined because of your face, Wang Qi?
It’s me, my cabinet minister for decades, my chief minister in the previous dynasty for several years!
Without my prestige, Wang Qi wants to smoothly deal with all the civil and military officials?

It’s simply wishful thinking!

Now, the cunning rabbit is dead and the lackey is cooked?

When the birds are gone, the good bow is hidden?
What a beautiful thought!
boom!
Ye Xianggao slapped the table hard: "Shuzi bullied me too much!"

"Father!" Upon seeing this, Ye Chengxue quickly stood up, first walked to the window to see if anyone heard him, and then said slowly: "Father, be careful, the walls have ears!"

"What are you afraid of? Wang Qi's secret guard dares to kill me?" Ye Xianggao stood up slowly and looked at his son: "Just watch, I will not give up easily!" (End of Chapter)
