The maid turned the towel back to Lu Yongxiang and wet the towel again.

  Lu Yongxiang stood behind the maid, his eyes inadvertently looked at the plump figure of the other party, his heart was hot, and he reached out and slapped the other party's full moon-like buttocks.

  The maid jumped up in fright, making Lu Yongxiang laugh out loud, and the mood that had been stagnant for a few days was much more relaxed.

  After washing up, he came to the dining room, and Duan Zhiquan was already waiting there.

  "Brother Zijia, come here and try Lao Beiping's breakfast! Fried dough sticks and Lao Beiping bean juice!"

  Lu Yongxiang pulled out a chair next to Duan Zhiquan and sat down, smiling: "I have heard from many people, old Peiping bean juice brother, that the taste is very special, but I have never had it. We were used to eating jingu's bean juice when we were training soldiers at a small station. Twist and Xiao Long Bao!"

  Duan Zhiquan said: "Try it first! There are unique tastes in different places! Wu Ma, serve breakfast to Governor Lu!"

  Soon, a middle-aged woman in her fifties came out with breakfast, a few fried dough sticks and a bowl of gray-green soy milk.

  Lu Yongxiang first took a bite of the fried dough sticks with chopsticks. It was crispy and delicious, and praised: "Brother Zhiquan, your cooking skills are very good. You can see from these simple fried dough sticks that they are crispy, bubbly and crisp!"

  "Eat more if it's delicious! To tell you the truth, the chef in my house cooked for Lord Guangxu!"

  "Royal chef!" Lu Yongxiang was shocked: "Brother Zhiquan will enjoy it!"

  "It's not for enjoyment. Your brother also knows that the army is in chaos these days. This old man has no children and no place to go. He has to take shelter in my house!"

  "Yes! It's also a great blessing for a little royal chef to work in your army chief's mansion!" Lu Yongxiang said, took a sip of soy juice and wanted to moisten his throat, but his face changed greatly in the next second. Thanks to his strong self-control, he knew that it was impolite to do this, and he had to rely on Duan Zhiquan's good words in front of Lao Yuan, so he swallowed it hard.

  "How is it?" Duan Zhiquan asked with a smile.

  Lu Yongxiang laughed dryly and said, "It tastes very strange!" He didn't want to take another sip after saying anything, and complained in his heart, what's so good about this stinky thing?Really weird Peiping people.

  Duan Zhiquan said meaningfully: "The taste of bean juice does have a bitter and sour taste after the entrance, but after swallowing it, you will find it wonderful! It's like life, it's bitter and sweet! It is much better to be bitter and then sweet than to be sweet and then bitter! Many things are like this, you have to go through hardships before you can achieve anything! That’s why Mencius said a long time ago that when the heavens will entrust people with great responsibilities, they must first suffer. Its mind is exhausted, its body and skin are tired and its body is tired!"

  Lu Yongxiang said with admiration: "Brother Zhiquan can understand the philosophy of life after drinking soy juice, and he is indeed much smarter than my generation. No wonder your brother is the army commander, but I am panicked like a lost dog! According to me, Brother Yizhiquan's Talent, in a hundred years from the future President, you are the most suitable to take his class!"

  "Brother Zijia, be careful! You can't talk nonsense! The president of the Spring and Autumn Festival is prosperous, and Zhiquan has never thought of that!" Duan Zhiquan was scolding lightly in his mouth, but he agreed in his heart.

  Among the people of Beiyang, apart from being convinced by Lao Yuan, he really didn't pay attention to others, even the other two who were also the three heroes of Beiyang.

  Suddenly, a young face of Zhang Ran appeared in his heart...  

  He couldn't help frowning, that young man was too young, but he was already sitting on a heroic force in a matter of seconds, and even Lu Yongxiang was defeated, it should not be underestimated!

  If a hundred years from now the future president, who can compete with him, Zhang Ran has the greatest possibility.

  This was also one of the important factors in his decision to help Lu Yongxiang, otherwise he would not have done his best because of the friendship of his classmates.

  After the two finished their meal, they got into Duan Zhiquan's black sedan and headed to the Presidential Palace together.

  In the presidential palace, Lao Yuan came out of the inner room yawning, and saw the two of them smiling and explaining: "Last night, I played cards with a few concubines, and I slept a little late, alas, after all, I'm getting old, and if I stay up all night, You are so sleepy, you can't compare to the young people who are in their prime!"

  "It's so rude to disturb the President so early!" Duan Zhiquan said with a smile on his hands, he is Lao Yuan's direct descendant, and the two have a very friendly relationship, so they won't be restrained in what they say.

  Lao Yuan nodded and pointed to the chair next to him: "Sit down, if someone else disturbs the old man's dream, the old man will definitely disappear behind closed doors. Duan Zhiquan is here, the old man still wants to meet!"

  Duan Zhiquan immediately said gratefully: "The President's love for Zhiquan, Zhiquan can't repay it, he can only be loyal, only the President's order is obeyed!"

  Lu Yongxiang secretly envied him on the side, Lao Duan really knew how to talk, and the president was really kind to Lao Duan.

  At this time, Lao Yuan seemed to see Lu Yongxiang, who was left out in the cold. He smiled and said, "Zijia is here too, sit down!"

  Lu Yongxiang hurriedly took two steps forward, thumped on his knees on the ground, and burst into tears: "President, I have betrayed your trust, lost ground and lost people, and I was actually tricked by this little scumbag Zhang! Zhang Ran was bullied first. My son, now kills my soldiers again, disregards the righteousness of Beiyang, attacks and annihilates my colleagues, if Xiao Lu and I run fast, I am afraid I would have been Zhang Ran's gun! President, you have to decide for Xiao Lu and me what!".

Chapter 474

  Lu Yongxiang knew his current situation, the army was gone, and now it must be a joke among the people of the country, and of course he has no face among the senior Beiyang.

  He knew that if he could not regain the understanding and trust of President Yuan Da, his political career would come to an early end.

  So for this purpose, he made up his mind that he didn't want his face. As long as the eighteen martial arts were effective, he would use them without hesitation.

  Lao Yuan frowned, looking at Lu Yongxiang, who was wailing at his feet like a dog, and sighed: "Zijia, get up first! You, you are also the old man in front of the old man. As soon as the old man sat on the throne of the president, he said to him. You have entrusted you with an important task, and you have been promoted to serve as the governor of Anhui Province, and you have been appointed as a vassal official!

  You, in the heart of the old 25th husband, have always been regarded as a capable person, understand politics, and know the military, but the old man really can't understand, you Lu Zijia stumbled and lost to Zhang Ran in the blink of an eye , and it was a complete defeat, and there was no resistance!You can even stick to it for ten days! "

  Lu Yongxiang had a face full of shame, and said abruptly: "This... ashamed of my humble position!"

  Duan Zhiquan cupped his hands and said, "President, Zhiquan has something to say!"

  "What do you have to say?" Lao Yuan frowned: "If you have something to say, say it! Can this old man keep your mouth shut?"

  Duan Zhiquan said respectfully: "President, Zhiquan thinks that Brother Zijia can't be blamed alone for this!

  This Zhang Ran is really deceiving!Zhang Ran first acted arrogantly while brother Zijia's son was passing by Shanghu, hurting his son, and it was a deadly place.

  The viciousness of his intentions is simply outrageous!

  Afterwards, he deliberately humiliated and angered Brother Zijia many times!Therefore, the Spring Mission, this war was purely deliberately provoked by Zhang Ran!

  His people are arrogant and domineering, with sinister intentions!The President should uphold justice for Brother Zijia! "

  When Duan Zhiquan said this, his face turned from indignation to solemnity: "Secondly, this battle also reflects a problem, that is, Zhang Ran's military strength has grown arrogantly, and he is likely to become a brick wall and come to the top. Had a lot of veteran Overseers!

  After all, this person has risen suddenly, and he has nothing to do with the president and the people of Beiyang before. We don't know his political orientation, and his loyalty is also very questionable!

  Will this person be in charge of the military and political affairs of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, will it be detrimental to the president?This is unknown!

  But if the tail is too big and no one can control it, it is a threat!

  President, Zhiquan's words from the bottom of his heart, please think twice! "

  Old Yuan really frowned into pimples. In fact, what Duan Zhiquan said was what he was worried about, and he had already thought of this.

  At the beginning, it was because Zhang Ran's military power was rising so fast that he was able to train an army of [-] people at every turn, which was terrifying.

  No one dares to say whether they will get another [-] troops next year!

  Because of this, when Lu Yongxiang and Zhang Ran had a conflict, he didn't put fire on both sides, but instead raised it, just wanting to use Lu Yongxiang to call Zhang Ran's weight.

  Now the jins are weighed out, but this result makes Lao Yuan worried.

  He is even more jealous of Zhang Ran now, but it is precisely because of his jealousy that he does not dare to easily punish him.

  As the old saying goes, it's called a rat trap.

  Lu Yongxiang crouched on the ground and gave Duan Zhiquan a thumbs up. What Lao Duan said later was simply too wonderful.

  After a long time, Lao Yuan raised his brows again and said with a smile, "Zijia, let's take a seat. You are also the governor of a province. What's the matter with you kneeling on the ground and crying?

  This time, Lu Yongxiang got up obediently, and said with a shy face: "I feel so wronged during this period of low office. When I saw the president, it was like a son and a nephew when he saw his father. He thought that he should not be too rude. Still can't hold back!"

  Duan Zhiquan laughed and said: "You, it's a shame that you are our president now. If it was before, you would have to be punished for the crime of disobedience in front of the monarch!"

  Lu Yongxiang replied casually: "The president is similar to the emperor!"

  Lao Yuan's heart moved when he heard this, and Lu Yongxiang's eyes softened a bit: "Okay, victory or defeat is a common thing in military affairs, you Lu Zijia still have credit for overthrowing the Man Qing! You sit down first, the old man will let someone inform you. Xizi and Huafu came over, let's discuss together, Zhang Ran acted too much, and he had to be cured!".

Chapter 475

  After receiving Lao Yuan's order, the people in the Attendant Room of the Presidential Palace immediately called Yang Xizi, Feng Huafu and others, and after a while, they were led into the room by the guards one after another.

  "The President is in such a hurry to summon him, I don't know what's the matter?" Yang Xizi came in giggling, and bowed his hands to Lao Yuan, who was in the main seat, and asked with a smile.

  After I finished asking, I saw that there were still people inside, so I smiled and said, "Brother Zhiquan is also here! Oh, it turns out that Governor Lu is also here, and Governor Lu is a rare visitor! It's a pleasure to meet you!"

  Duan Zhiquan smiled and said, "Brother Xizi, Zhiquan wants to apologize to you!"

  "Oh?" Yang Xizi's thoughts moved, and he suddenly smiled: "Could it be that the president is eager to summon him because of your Duan Zhiquan business?"

  Duan Zhiquan smiled and said, "Brother Xizi's astute mind is indeed unmatched by ordinary people! This matter is actually related to brother Zijia, but brother Zijia is my classmate and friend, and if it is related to him, it is related to me Duan Zhiquan! To be honest, It was Zhiquan who dragged Brother Zijia here in the morning, first disturbing the President's dream, and then disturbing Mr. Xizi! It's really a sin!"

  Yang Xizi joked, "Don't apologize with your mouth, Commander-in-Chief of the Army, at least invite me and the President to the Peking Grand Hotel for a French meal!"

  Duan Zhiquan smiled and said: "That's no problem! With the President and Mr. Xizi coming, I see that the Frenchman Smith doesn't dare to accept the meal after dinner, right? As long as Duan doesn't need to pay for it, it's a treat. Whatever you want, no problem at all!"

  Yang Xizi pointed at Duan Zhiquan and laughed loudly: "Hahaha, you Duan Zhiquan's treat for a long time turned out to be unrelenting! We have been colleagues for a long time, and I, Yang Xizi, learned today that you are a miser, President Duan!"

  Lao Yuan also burst into laughter: "Xi Zi, you only know that, this kid Zhiquan is very smart, he will never suffer"~!"

  Duan Zhiquan laughed at himself: "I'm all a little clever, how can I compare to the President and Mr. Xizi, you are the great wisdom of life, and Zhiquan can't learn it if he wants to!"

  After Lu Yongxiang waited for Yang Xizi and Duan Zhiquan to chat, he finally saw the gap, bowed to Yang Xizi properly, and smiled shyly: "Mr. Xizi, long time no see, you are still so healthy."

  Yang Xizi nodded slightly, smiling as if unintentionally: "The one who bows, Governor Lu, is as solemn as saying goodbye to my portrait of Yang Xizi! Oh, look at me, Governor Lu, someone Yang is just joking, you Don't take it to heart!"

  Lu Yongxiang was a little embarrassed and said with a dry smile: "No... No! Mr. Xizi is really humorous!"

  Seeing Lu Yongxiang's embarrassment, Duan Zhiquan laughed and said, "Mr. Xizi's mouth is really sharp. In my opinion, he is the king of the mouth, and it is worth a division's elite soldiers!"

  Yang Xizi couldn't be fooled: "Director Duan, in order to clear the siege for Governor Lu, did you imply that someone Yang would only speak up?"

  "How dare you! Who doesn't know that the president values ​​Mr. Xizi the most, and Zhiquan dare not offend you, the master planner of the presidential palace!"

  Yang Xizi pretended to be proud: "You Duan Zhiquan know it! Yang is a master planner who has won the trust of the President, isn't he?"

  Lao Yuan also gave face very much. He smiled and said, "Not bad! This old man trusts and values ​​Xizi. Zhiquan, you offended Xizi, so be careful with this old man! Hahahaha!"

  Duan Zhiquan and Yang Xizi also laughed.

  The rest of Lu Yongxiang sat alone, like an out of place outsider, feeling uncomfortable.

  As the two sides were talking, the guard led Feng Huafu in. He first gave Lao Yuan a standard military salute, and then smiled at Yang Xizi and Duan Zhiquan, "What are you talking about, Mr. Xizi and Zhiquan? Outside? I can hear your laughter!"

  Yang Xizi smiled and said, "Hua Fu is here, someone from Yang was teaching you how powerful a tiger is in the middle of the Beiyang Three Heroes!" He then briefly repeated the exchange of words between the two.

  Feng Huafu said in surprise: "Oh? It seems that the strength of the spring is not only in the military and politics, but also in eloquence!"

  The tone was a bit sour. He and Duan Zhiquan were both one of the three heroes of Beiyang, so naturally they had a rivalry mentally.

  Even the official positions are almost the same, Duan Zhiquan is the head of the Ministry of Army, Feng Huafu is the military governor of Zhili and the head of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

  In Lao Yuan's heart, the status of the two is not the same, so when he saw Feng Huafu, he also smiled and said kindly: "¨〃Huafu, I'll wait for you, okay, since everyone is here , then let's have a good discussion about how to deal with Zhang Ran! Is it better to beat Zhang Ran after Zijia, and even take the opportunity to weaken his power, such as taking away one of his provincial territories? Or win him over? ? Let him use it for me?"

  When Lao Yuan said this, he walked slowly in the hall with his hands behind his back, obviously also struggling.

  After a while, he continued: "I remind everyone that you are all my confidants, and I will not tell you falsehood. If you really plan to beat Zhang Ran, or even take away one of his provinces, you must expect an outcome, then Is this guy surnamed Zhang obedient? If not, if he raises troops to resist, we will have to encircle and suppress an army of [-] troops. Even people who know how to fight will have to arrive (Wang Wang) Triple the force! Is it worth it?"

  Duan Zhiquan frowned and couldn't help but interjected: "But the President, if you are timid now, then wait for Zhang Ran's power to expand a little bit, won't no one be able to control it? At that time, if you want to deal with him, you will have to It's even more troublesome! It's better to make a decision to solve this hidden danger now!"

  Lu Yongxiang naturally wanted Lao Yuan to deal with Zhang Ran, so as soon as Duan Zhiquan's voice fell, he couldn't wait to echo: "Yes, President, according to my humble opinion, Zhang Ran's soldiers are very strong in combat. , Although my Beiyang Army are all veterans who have been on the battlefield, there is not necessarily one that can match those soldiers under Zhang Ran! Although the milk tiger is also scary, it can still be dealt with. If the milk tiger grows up, Undoubtedly, it is a problem of raising tigers, and the President must not ignore it!".
