"What should we do next?" Jin Quan asked worriedly.
As the saying goes, once the emperor and his ministers come to power, old people like them will definitely not stay anymore, and they will all be kicked out. In this way, without the protection of power, where should the Jin family go?
Moreover, the three Jin brothers are now in government institutions. If everyone is laid off, how will they maintain their lives in the future? None of his three sons are as promising as Xiang Nan. Are they allowed to sit at home and live in vain? !
"Father, don't panic. I think even if he conquers the world, he will be the emperor and his ministers, and he won't be able to drive everyone away. If the eldest brother, second brother, and third brother perform well, there should be a possibility of staying on.
Besides, to say the least, you can sing whatever song you go to on any mountain. If the eldest brother and the others were to be laid off, our family would not be unable to uncover the truth. We can live our lives how the common people live, and we can still survive. Xiang Nan advised.
Jin Quan let out a long sigh after hearing what he said.
"Yanxi, fortunately, I still have you." He looked at Xiang Nan and said, "Your eldest brother, second brother, and third brother can't be counted on now. Only you can support the overall situation of the Jin family, and you must shoulder the responsibility Take this responsibility."
"Yes, father." Xiang Nan nodded.
Although everyone in the Jin family is not perfect, they are still very good to him. Brothers and friends are respectful, aunts and sisters are harmonious, and siblings are of the same mind, so he really can't bear to see them fall.
…
As Jin Quan expected, after occupying the capital, Feng Xi quickly supported his own people to take power.
Not only was the president forced out of office and the Senate was dissolved, but also the ministers and deputy ministers were replaced and replaced with their own people.
As a result, Jin Quan, Jin Fengju, Jin Hesun, and Jin Pengzhen all lost their jobs and were all forced to return home. This also caused the Jin family to be enveloped in low pressure, and everyone's face looked gloomy and gloomy.
"Lao Qi is still smart and chose teaching instead of politics." Sister-in-law Wu Peifang said with admiration, "Nowadays, all civil and military officials in the entire dynasty have been abolished, and only Lao Qi's job is still stable."
"This is also because Lao Qi is talented. He writes, writes poems, and writes plays... Only universities are willing to hire him." Cheng Huichang praised, "Hesun stayed in the salt industry for several years, and he worked hard every day. They just drink tea and read newspapers, nothing serious at all. When the layoff was announced this time, he was laid off directly."
"The same is true for Peng Zhen. He didn't do anything in the workplace in the past, but fortunately he has dad's face and can still keep his job. Now that dad has no official position, who will pamper him?" Wang Yufen also said depressedly , "What's so good about this? Do we really want to sit back and have nothing?"
The three sons of the Jin family were originally playboys with no ambitions or talents. They spent their days eating, drinking, having fun, and doing nothing. In the past, when Jin Quan was in power, people were willing to take care of him because of his reputation.
Now that Jin Quan doesn't even recite the curse, how can they have any face? Coupled with the fact that his ability was really not good, he was naturally kicked out.
In comparison, Xiang Nan is better. University professors and well-known scholars will not be laid off easily. Moreover, he can write and write poems, and he can earn a lot of money, which is enough to support his family.
It's just that since ancient times, there are fathers who support the family, there are eldest brothers who support the family, and there are no younger brothers who support the family. Jin Fengju, Jin Hesun, and Jin Pengzhen were too embarrassed to ask their brothers for money to live.
Therefore, it takes a lot of thinking about where the Jin family will go next.
…
Later, Jin Quan held a dinner at Jin's house to entertain these frustrated politicians to discuss the country's future.
"Hey, why didn't Boyan come? I sent him an invitation." When it was time to start the banquet, Jin Quan couldn't help but wonder when Bai Xiongqi hadn't arrived yet.
This time, the former president was forced to step down due to his clique's entry into Beijing. Bai Xiong's rise to the position of prime minister was jointly supported by the former president and him, and it stands to reason that he is also among those who have resigned.
So Jin Quan also invited him today, hoping to give him some comfort. After all, there is no need to know each other when we meet people who are frustrated in the world at the same time.
But Bai Xiongqi didn't come, which made him a little worried. Is it because you are too sad that you don’t want to see anyone? !
"The Prime Minister still doesn't know?! How come Bai Xiongqi is here? He will never step down from office. Instead, he may be promoted. How can he drink at the same table with us?" said Zeng Yixin, former Undersecretary of Foreign Affairs.
"How is it possible? How could he be spared as an emperor and a courtier?" When everyone heard this, they were very surprised.
"It turns out you don't know..." Zeng Yixin sneered, "Actually, Bai Xiong has been in contact with the Feng Clan since early in the morning. The direct defeat of the Zhili Clique was largely due to the inability of financial arrangements and unstable logistics support. The children on the front line have no bullets, no Without medicine and food, how can we win?
The person responsible for resource allocation is none other than Prime Minister Bai Xiongqi. It was he who deliberately caused trouble and refused to mobilize on time, which led to the disastrous defeat of our army. Moreover, it was him who leaked the secrets of the front line, which allowed the Feng Faction to know itself and the enemy, and win every battle. "
"It's actually him?!" When everyone heard this, they were in an uproar.
Jin Quan was even more furious.
"No wonder the situation deteriorated to this point as soon as the war started. It turned out to be him..."
The former president had a favor for him, but he has always been through fire and water, and his heart and mind have been ruined. And he also has a favor for Bai Xiongqi, and hopes that he can be loyal to him and wholeheartedly.
Unexpectedly, it was Bai Xiongqi's betrayal that led to the current chaos.
I was blind and supported such a white-eyed wolf, which led to today's disaster. I really feel ashamed to the president and my colleagues. I really wish I could die.
"Prime Minister, please be at ease. My son has done a good job in his poem, 'Despicableness is the passport of the despicable, and nobility is the epitaph of the noble.' We have dedicated our lives to the country, and our lives have been ruined, but now we cannot even keep our official position.
People are cheating and double-dealing, but now they are on the rise. The world is like this, there is no need to force it. "Xiang Wenxin, the former salt affairs director, said.
After hearing what he said, everyone sighed.
Although they are not perfect, they are still much better than the ungrateful and profit-seeking Bai Xiongqi.
"Okay, let's not talk about this. Let's drink and drink. A drunken drink will relieve a thousand worries." Xialian, the former chief of transportation, raised his glass.
After hearing what he said, everyone raised their glasses.
…
As the saying goes, drinking makes people feel sad longer, and this drinking is a big deal.
Eight people actually drank two jars of aged Shaoxing wine, with an average of two kilograms of wine per person. Although the alcohol content of rice wine is not high, it cannot be denied that it is aged.
So when the banquet was over and Li Sheng was helping Jin Quan back to his room to rest, he saw him looking at the chair next to him, saying "Luo'er Luoer" twice, holding the chair back with his hands, and fell down with a pale face. .
Li Sheng was knowledgeable and knew that he had suffered a stroke. One of the chiefs he served before had the same problem and immediately shouted loudly.
Xiang Nan was writing a book in the room at this time. When he heard the shouting, he rushed out immediately and saw that everyone was in chaos.
Some people were busy calling the doctor, some were so frightened that they didn't know what to do, some were crying heartbreakingly... in short, there were many.
