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

Beijing City, Xu Mansion.

Xu Guangqi had already fallen asleep.

But when the servant heard that Lu Yuluo was visiting at night, he had no choice but to change his clothes and go to the front hall to receive his colleague.

"Students pay homage to Chief Xu Da!" Lu Yu showed an extremely humble attitude the first time he saw Xu Guangqi.

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

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

"Master Lu, why did you come here at night?" Xu Guangqi sat on a chair, and the servants brought tea before he spoke slowly.

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

"Of course," Xu Guangqi nodded: "In the inspection of the northern provinces, Jizhou Prefecture is the top priority. The parliament and the society work in parallel. This is a big plan and it is also a political reform matter that the consul focuses on. You are here tonight. Is it for Jizhou Mansion?"

Of course Xu Guangqi knew that Lu Yu had a nephew who was the vice-president of the merchant alliance in Jizhou Prefecture, and that the council and the society were about to run parallel. Therefore, as the chief of the science association, he was naturally aware of the Taoist merchant alliance in various prefectures.

The mature Xu Guangqi looked at Lu Yu in front of him, his eyes were restrained, and he looked a little confused and said: "If it concerns Jizhou Prefecture, as a high councilor, you can directly contact the consul to come to me today. , why?"

"It's a family scandal. Lu has a nephew who is the vice-president of the Commercial Alliance in Jizhou Prefecture." Lu Yu smiled bitterly: "Recently, the dual-track parallel system of the parliament and the society was implemented. My nephew was acting against the will, delaying the major policies of the parliament, defying and even Because of the great destruction, Mr. Lu is here today.”

Lu Yu hesitated for a moment before continuing: "Because the Business Alliance is now under the jurisdiction of the society, if Ying Wencai is to be dealt with, it is only right for Chief Xu to issue an order in the name of the society, and it will also be conducive to the implementation of the consul's major policies. "

"Hey," Xu Guangqi stroked his long beard gently, looked at Lu Yu, and asked doubtfully: "Is this what the ruler meant?"

"Lu wants to make up for it and avoid being misunderstood by the ruling lord. After all, Ying Wencai is my nephew." Lu Yu did not intend to deceive anything. For an experienced person like Xu Guangqi, any deliberate concealment would be a big deal. It can have a huge impact on the consequences.

"Do you want Ying Wencai to die?" Xu Guangqi asked back: "It's easy to let him die, but do you know how to die in order to comply with the plan of the ruling lord?"

Does it fit in with Wang Qi’s plan?
Yes, Ying Wencai is bound to die, but the entire Jizhou Prefecture Business Alliance is not just one or two people. It is related to 30% of Horqin trade, 20% of Liaodong trade, and the core nodes of the east-west trade route.

If it is not handled well and business is affected, that will be a big deal.

Moreover, Lu Yu is also preparing to send Horqin as an envoy recently. If the business in Jizhou Prefecture affects the negotiations between the two countries at this time, it will also affect the whole body.

"So Lu came here to ask Chief Xu for advice!" Lu Yu said, stood up and bowed deeply: "Please help me!"

Gently stroking his beard, Xu Guangqi stared at Lu Yu for a few seconds before saying: "I can issue political orders to the cultural and financial affairs in the name of the society, but I need the approval of the consul."

Without Wang Qi's approval, no one would dare to risk the disapproval of the world and interfere in such a matter.

Xu Guangqi wanted to wait a little longer. He wanted to see where Wang Qi's bottom line was in handling this matter.

And, most importantly, the Science Society's devolution of power to the parliament actually devolved part of Wang Qi's power.

At such a sensitive time, Xu Guangqi would not let Wang Qi misunderstand.

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

"Going to see the ruling lord?" Lu Yu gritted her teeth, obviously still hesitant.

To be honest, if something like this happened, he would have no face to face Wang Qi.

"For the ruling lord, as long as it is conducive to the development of the parliament and the society, he will open the door to facilitate it. You can rest assured," Xu Guangqi smiled, and then ordered someone to get pen and ink.

Not long after, a letter was written and handed to Lu Yu: "This letter contains some of my 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 seriously: "Without further delay, Lu rushed to Jizhou Mansion overnight. If this disaster is passed safely, Lu will definitely come and thank you." "I won't send it off."

Not long after, Lu Yu left.

Xu Guangqi was wearing a dark silk coat and sitting in the hall, with freshly brewed tea in his hand.

"Parliament, Science Society?" Xu Guangqi pursed his lips, his eyes filled with melancholy and suspicion.

After all, Wang Qi is actually dividing some of the power in his hands.

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

No wonder Xu Guangqi was still hesitating.

"If this matter really comes to pass," Xu Guangqi tapped his finger on the table, his eyes becoming more determined: "Even if I risk my dying body, I still have to pave the way for something that has not happened in a thousand years. the road."

----

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

Early this morning, Ying Wencai was planning to lead Jizhou Mansion out of the city to greet the consul who was about to arrive.

But at the gate of the government office, what he saw was the messenger who came to read out the parliamentary order.

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

"Replying to your lord, Jizhou Prefecture Council Order No. 32, please come with me," the envoy said without giving Ying Wencai any face.

The vice president of the merchant alliance, who was like a local emperor in Jizhou Prefecture, was holding back and not breaking out at this moment. He knew that Jin Zhongcun's sudden defection must have something hidden.

Is it Wang Qi?
Ying Wencai guessed, but with his uncle Lu Yu, Ying Wencai felt that Wang Qi should give him some face.

He will not arrest himself directly - after all, he just failed to implement the dual-track decision, and it is not a major crime such as rebellion.

"Where is Jin Zhongcun?" Ying Wencai took a step back and retreated among his servants: "The ruler is about to arrive at Jizhou Mansion. Ying Mou 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 inquire about the recent news about the parliament.

"It's not your turn to greet the consul. The council and others will go there. The merchant alliance is now under the control of the society. Please come with me, sir," the messenger said without giving in.

"The Society governs the business alliance," Ying Wencai sneered: "According to what you said, I am a member of the Society. The president of the Jizhou Prefecture Science Society is vacant, and no one can judge me!"

"The president of the society is temporarily vacant, but the parliament has its own supervision authority. The parliament still has the right to detain for twelve hours!"

After the messenger finished speaking, he waved his hand, and a Yamen servant came forward to seize Ying Wen's property.

"Which of you dares to take action?" Ying Wencai shouted: "My uncle is one of the seven congressmen!!"

As soon as Ying Wencai finished speaking, there was a deep and solemn sound.

As the crowd separated, Jizhou's general led his troops.

"Clinging to the congressman and talking nonsense, take it down!!!"

Jizhou Commander-in-Chief Zhong Ping was a general who followed Wang Qi all the way up in Liaodong. After receiving Wang Qi's order last night, he immediately led his troops and rushed to the city with Chen Juaner to control the situation. (End of chapter)
