Banquet room.
Liu Shouye, who often reads newspapers, suddenly asked, "Does Mr. Xian think there is any potential danger in this trip north?"
Qi Yu hesitated for a moment, and then replied sincerely: "It may be a surprise, but it's not dangerous. Anyway, we can always come back intact in the end."
"Is there any danger...no danger? How can I say this?"
"Being frightened means that the court will try every means to weaken the power in my hands. After all, I have a large army and dominate the South Seas, and any ruler will be afraid of me. However, they are not willing to quarrel with each other and cause trouble in the relationship. It's too stiff. If I get sick in Beijing, my subordinates will inevitably get into trouble. They will naturally understand this. Based on the above considerations, my trip will be a little bumpy, but in the end it will be a near miss."
I generally understand it.
The journey may be met with resistance, but there will be no fatal danger.
Even so, Liu Shouye was still worried.
He weighed some suggestions and said: "The sage once said that a gentleman does not stand behind a dangerous wall. Since you know that there are tigers in the mountain, why take the initiative to provoke them?"
Qi Yu didn't want to talk too much about this topic. He just smiled lightly and said, "Father-in-law, please don't worry. I have my own discretion in choosing between son-in-law and son-in-law."
Seeing that he was confident, Liu Shouye stopped trying to persuade him.
He couldn't care less about national affairs, and he didn't have the ability to suggest anything.
At the end, Qi Yu made a special explanation.
"After I leave, everything in the house will be in charge of my wife. If my father-in-law encounters difficulties, he can go to her directly to resolve them. Also, no matter what happens to me in the capital, no one can come to the capital to look for me. This is very important. Remember, remember!”
"All right……"
Although Liu Shouye didn't know the reason, he
Still agreed.
At this point, all the relatives have left, and the next step is to wait for the court's reply.
As Qi Yu expected, the application was approved.
In just over ten days, the relevant reply was delivered to Yongchuan Mansion. The official document also praised: Qi Shaobao is willing to support the souls of martyrs and is a moral model. How can he not agree?
Although these are unsatisfactory words, they sound very pleasant to the ears. Between the lines, everything has been done to save face.
It can be seen that both Su Liu and Lu Boxuan made concessions due to external pressure. Even though they were afraid of Qi Yu coming to Beijing, they still pretended to agree.
If you don't do this, you will face criticism from people all over the world, which will lead to bad public opinion.
In the face of overwhelming public opinion, no matter how great the power, it must be restrained.
Okay, let’s talk about Qi Yu’s trip.
In view of Qi Xiao's experience as a 'proton', Qi Yu decided not to take any of his family members with him this time, leaving only Huang Fei and a few other guards around him.
Yin Tao originally wanted to follow, but with Qi Yu's constant persuasion, she finally stayed.
The child is still young, how can he be separated from his mother?
That’s all!
Mrs. Yin, who was overflowing with maternal instincts, couldn't stand the coquettishness of her children, so she had to make a compromise.
After everything was arranged, Qi Yu was ready to leave.
In a foggy morning, he reluctantly said goodbye to the two graceful figures and a pair of crying children. Finally, with a crisp crack of the whip, the group left decisively.
Traveling to Beijing is easy and familiar, no special guide is needed, everything can be done step by step.
Just like before, first take the water route and then turn to the land route.
After turning around, we approached the capital. All in all, it only took more than half a month to enter the realm of Shuntian Mansion.
During this trip to the north, many celebrities and local officials came to pay homage to him, hoping to take the opportunity to get closer to him. However, all of them were politely rejected by Qi Yu.
Doing this will not only save time, but also prevent unexpected situations from happening, and it is better to be careful and avoid rashness.
He knew very well that he and his party had attracted much attention from the world. In addition to those eyes on the surface, there were also many eyes watching closely in the dark!
It seems calm on the surface, but in reality there is an undercurrent.
So, be careful when sailing.
Although he has a large number of troops entrenched in Southeast Asia and has achieved unparalleled achievements, with this aura surrounding him, it is difficult for ordinary political opponents to cause harm. But don't forget that all of your cornerstones are concentrated in one place, and there are no operating forces in the capital.
Especially after Yin Jun disappeared, there were very few people who could speak for Nanyang. Counting them down, they were only Zhou Chunsheng, Tao Ci, Lai Dayuan and others.
However, their positions are humble and they are not enough to compete with big bosses like Lu Boxuan, so they can be ignored.
This is a fact that cannot be ignored!
well, let's get back to business.
After Qi Yu and his entourage arrived in the capital, they did not rush to report the news to the Yin Mansion, nor did they visit the officials. Instead, they went to their own residence to settle down temporarily.
This treatment seemed a bit arrogant, but he did so on purpose.
If the prediction is good, someone from his own lineage will definitely come to visit in the next time, and take the opportunity to explain the real situation in the capital, which will serve as a basis for future affairs.
You have to create space for yourself.
As expected, Tao Ci,
After hearing the news, Lai Dayang, Zhou Chunsheng and others rushed over to report, pouring out all they could say and suggest.
It's a pity that their positions are not high, and we can't analyze the reason yet.
If you are not in your position, it is difficult to manage your affairs, and forced analysis can only be a superficial judgment at best.
Qi Yu didn't ask too much about this and stopped talking. Most of the time, they were asking about the current situation of the court.
They said that the operation of the court was generally smooth, and there was no such thing as the rooster Sichen or the eunuchs that they were worried about before. Everything was in order and without chaos.
During this period, several people were also reused to a certain extent.
The current implementation of the New Deal is at the time of employment, which is a rare career opportunity.
Only Zhou Chunsheng remains the same as before. He is a humble, sincere and low-key official. Apart from his own work, he basically has no additional social interactions.
Qi Yu smiled and asked him, if there is an opportunity, why not get promoted again?
But he shook his head and said, "This kind of official career is enough. If I get promoted again, I will inevitably be unworthy of the position and be ridiculed by others." '
It can be seen that he does not pursue fame and fortune, and this has been the case for most of his life.
After seeing them off, Qi Yu put on a plain robe and sat in the hall drinking tea.
This courtyard can be regarded as the place where he made his fortune. Looking back now, he has a feeling of remembering the bitterness and remembering the sweetness. Vaguely, it also brings up a feeling of nostalgia.
Just as I was sighing, someone suddenly sent me an invitation, saying that I was inviting Mr. Qi to a banquet to reminisce about the past.
Is this a cleansing party?
At first glance, it seems to be quite interesting, but judging from the location of the banquet, it feels a bit out of place.
It turned out to be a little-known family
tavern.
Oh...I remembered it!
Isn't this the place where I and Yin Jun often gathered?
I still remember that four side dishes and a pot of wine were both economical and high-spirited.
After coming back to his senses, Qi Yu immediately looked at the place where the signature was written, which clearly read 'Old Man Zhong Yi'.
