Zhang Qida's request caused an uproar in the club after being spread! Over the years, these officials have obtained countless benefits by cooperating with each other, and because they are so powerful together, many officials also stay away from them, making them act even more unscrupulously!
Under such circumstances, these people have already begun to be arrogant and feel that there is nothing in the world that they cannot do! Under the influence of this kind of mentality, how can they watch something like glass, which can make a fortune, fall into the hands of others!
And over the years, Zhang Qida has blocked their financial path more than once, which made everyone in the club very dissatisfied! Moreover, this way of making money is so big this time that it has completely touched their desires. They are no longer willing to listen to Zhang Qida's command anymore!
In their eyes, Zhang Qida is just an old stubborn who doesn't understand current affairs! Now that the world is clear and there are virtuous ministers in the government, there is no need for them to restrain the emperor! If you don't take the opportunity to get promoted and make a fortune, how long will it take? Therefore, under the promotion of thoughtful people, there were endless voices of opposition in the club for a while!
However, they did not stop because of Zhang Qida's obstruction. After they began to unify the opinions of the small circle, they began to put pressure on higher-ups. And this activity soon showed the results it deserved! The meeting of the five major social leaders that was supposed to be held every three months had to be held in advance!
Zhang Qida was sitting on the middle one of the five chairs in the study, his right hand constantly rubbing his knees. There was a hint of pain in his expression, it seemed that his foot disease was getting worse! But his eyes seemed to be looking into the void, looking far away and deep!
He was mentally prepared for the early meeting today! Because there are also a group of his supporters in the Lord's Association! They had warned him a long time ago that there were a large number of people working together in the club. As for the purpose of the series, they don't know. Because those in the series are trying their best to avoid Zhang Qida's cronies and supporters.
But their purpose is very easy to guess, and even Zhang Qida himself was mentally prepared. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a trace of sadness and unwillingness in his heart! Over the years, he has worked conscientiously for the Plum Blossom Club, which can be said to be a heart-and-bone effort! But what happened in exchange was betrayal!
But he also knows that some of his ideas are incompatible with more and more people! Because the overall strength of the civil servants is getting stronger and stronger, suppressing the imperial power and nobles, many people in the club have shifted their original goals to maintaining their own power!
Today's club is becoming more and more like a chamber of commerce, with a lot of evil and unspeakable things hidden in it! He was afraid that no matter how hard he tried, it would be difficult to change the overall atmosphere! All he and his supporters can do is to live alone!
Thinking of this, Zhang Qida looked around with a wry smile on his face! He looked at the low-key and luxurious furnishings and utensils around him, as well as the fragrant hot tea at hand, and he couldn't help but ask himself, was he really alone?
At this moment, the door to the study room was pushed open, and his old servant led Lin Huaiying in. When he came in and saw the thick layer of fur wrapped around Zhang Qida's right leg, he said with concern: "It seems that your foot disease this time seems to be particularly serious! In the past, you would not wrap your leg with leather even if the sky fell. !”
Zhang Qida smiled when he heard this, stretched out his hand to ask him to sit down, and then said: "You know that my problem is hopeless! Fortunately, he doesn't want to die, it's just painful and uncomfortable!"
The two then chatted for a while about his foot problem, but Lin Huaiying tried to change the topic several times but was stopped by Zhang Qida. Lin Huaiying knew what he meant. He always adhered to the principle that a gentleman should not deceive someone in a dark room. If there was anything he wanted to do, he would rather talk about it in a five-person meeting.
Seeing Lin Huaiying's look, Zhang Qida comforted him and said: "Yucai, I know what you want to say, and I can even guess what they are thinking. If they really want to take my position as the leader of the club, I will accept it calmly. ! After all these years of worrying and working, I am very tired! Moreover, my foot disease has become more and more serious, making it increasingly difficult for me to walk. It would be a blessing if I could step back and recuperate! What’s more, I can say it bluntly, I am worthy of my heart!”
Lin Huaiying said sadly: "People's hearts are changing so fast! There were many people who were dedicated to serving the country back then, but now they have become unknown to me! Our Plum Blossom Club is increasingly losing its original purpose!" "
Zhang Qida said with a smile: "Now that Ming Dynasty has Zhang Jiangling, he is a rare and good chief minister, and Ming Dynasty is governed well by him! And you should also know that for Ming Dynasty, it is best if we do not play our role matter!"
Lin Huaiying said: "I understand everything you said, but our Plum Blossom Club is becoming more and more like a corrupt organization! More and more like a traitorous party that brings disaster to the country and the people! If this continues, will our Plum Blossom Club still have any meaning to exist? ?How can I be worthy of my senior?"
Zhang Qida said: "I don't know if it's meaningful or not, but at least we have contributed to the country and the country, and that's enough! As for the club, if one day it's time to die, let it die!"
Lin Huaiying said: "It would be great if they could be disbanded naturally, but I think their approach may not have any good results!"
As soon as I said this, I heard footsteps coming from outside the door. The two people immediately stopped talking and looked at the door. Immediately, the door of the study room opened, and Hu Zhiyu and three people filed in. When they saw the thick fur wrapped around Zhang Qida's legs, they naturally became concerned.
After some greetings, everyone sat down one after another. Zhang Qida patted his knees and said: "Everyone, this meeting was held in advance, but unfortunately, the foot disease happened to occur! So it is difficult for me to hold on for too long, so we have to do it quickly! Mingqing , this meeting was initiated by you, so why don’t you speak up!”
Hu Zhiyu's face turned red when he heard this, and even the hand holding the teacup trembled! But he still put down the tea cup smoothly. At this time, he felt a little ashamed in his heart, but he quickly told himself that the arrow was already on the string and had to be fired! Now that the other party has started the conversation, let’s just talk about it and let the matter be laid out!
So he put down the tea cup, tugged on the hem of his clothes, and said, "Brother Buyuan, since you said so, I will say it openly! The purpose of my initiating the meeting this time is to change the club leader!"
