Chapter 693 The weather is good, the country is peaceful and the people are safe

Yuan Weiting's body was treated with medicine by Chen Lianfang, a famous doctor who once asked Emperor Tianyou for his pulse. Sure enough, his spirit improved a lot, and he also had a smile on his face.

"Keyun, you have a very bad habit, that is, you are superstitious about foreign medicine and foreign doctors. Look, Western medicine says the condition is so serious. When it comes to the hands of traditional Chinese medicine, it is already a good idea. You have to pay attention in the future. You should still find traditional Chinese medicine or Chinese medicine. Our Chinese things may not be as good as Thais."

Half of Yuan Weiting's words were directed at Yuan Keyun's leg. He fell off a horse in Prussia and broke his leg. He insisted on being superstitious about Western medicine, but refused to receive traditional Chinese medicine treatment, and eventually failed. If he was willing to find a famous traditional Chinese medicine master to correct the bones after returning to China, why would he be disabled?

Yuan Keyun nodded, and when his father finished his lecture, he said, "What my father said was very true. My son also felt that it was better for Chinese things than foreigners. Take this common combination as an example. Not only is China not suitable for common combination, but even Thais, this common combination may not be successful. Look, in the current Thais war, what did those Communists look like by the monarchy? Cape only lost his country day and night. It was not like this when it had an emperor back then."

Yuan Weiting shook his head and said, "You can't say that. After all, they have lost the heroes like Napoleon. The country's fortune is declining, so the battlefield is unfavorable. This is also reasonable. This is due to the fate of the energy, not the system. When the heaven and earth come together, the heroes will not be free. Is there any news in Songjiang?"

"Returning to my father's instructions, my son has investigated the situation on Songjiang, but it was just the sailors on the military ship who were making money. As a result, they fired cannons and then attacked Songjiang. However, they were beaten back by our guards, and the riots had already been rectified on the spot, which was not a big problem."

Of course, the problem of Songjiang is not as simple as raising money. But Yuan Keyun knew that if his father knew at this time, after the mutiny, there was a shadow of Ge Ming's party, and the act of becoming emperor would inevitably slow down. After waiting for too long, he no longer wanted to wait any longer. He should not delay his proclaiming emperor.

"It's all right. The military pay for these sailors is far higher than that of infantry. The country has a temporary financial difficulties and they will cause trouble and change. They are really heartless! However, Songjiang is the richest place, why is the military pay insufficient? Zhengyuan General Office is in Songjiang, and the turnover is not effective and the loan is very convenient. Why does it become a mutiny of money? If you check this matter, you must check it out."

"My son understands. Father, although the Songjiang mutiny is a bad thing, there are also good things here. The soldiers were riding on small boats to capture Ying Rui and Tongji. As a result, they were stopped by foreigners' patrols and could not succeed. This shows that foreigners are also standing on our side."

Yuan Weiting's face indeed smiled again, "Foreigners... are on our side? OK, this matter is great. Yan Sun and Albion's diplomacy seems to be done well. After the war in Shandong, Fusang was temporarily unable to interfere in our internal affairs, but Albion is still the most powerful country today, so we must not be disrespectful. Now it seems that our strategy of pro-Albion is still very successful, and the foreigners will take the initiative to help us quell the chaos."

"My father is wise, Albion is indeed helping us now. But my son thinks that the most powerful country in Thailand is still Prussia. Even if it is peaceful now, it will still have to fight in the future. It is necessary to create a treaty of cede land and pay compensation. This matter cannot be good. We and Prussia..."

Yuan Weiting sighed again, Zhao Guanhou's surprise attack on Qingdao almost blocked the door to negotiate with Prussia. He could not tell the Minister of the Prussian Kingdom that Shandong was Shandong and that he was himself. That was equivalent to admitting that the Communist Party lost control of Shandong. How could he say such words?

He was silent for a long time and asked, "Is there any news in Shandong? If not, you can go there yourself and don't mislead things."

"There is nothing in Shandong... Zhao Guanhou has won the position of marshal and is naturally grateful to his father. Moreover, he has accepted Xiao Afeng, who is lazy in military affairs when he is in a passion. He wants his steamships to go north to Tianjin and be managed by the Navy Department, so he has to slow down. You don't know that when fighting with the Fusang people, the paddle wheel on the ship was broken by cannons. We can't repair it ourselves, so we have to ask foreigners to repair it. Technicians and parts replacement are all time-consuming and we can't hurry."

Shandong's attitude was enough to influence his father's decision. In any case, he could not let his father know that Shandong's disagreement with the emperor's reign. The steamship returned to the Navy was even more difficult to do. Only by becoming emperor... Yuan Keyun gritted his teeth secretly. As long as his father ascended the throne of the emperor and had the title of commanding the people of the world, Shandong would never dare to disobey the emperor's orders.

"I also want to take our own steamship and walk around in front of the foreign garrison in Tianjin, so that they can also know that China also has such powerful navy. It seems that it will not be possible for a moment. Foreigners are fighting again, so it is impossible to sell new military ships to us. Steam... When will we be able to fight back!"

Yuan Weiting's face said in front of the board, "Keyun, go and help me pay attention. See where there are talents who know how to build ships. We must try to recruit me. Regardless of the cost and not be afraid of the cost, we must also build our own shipyard and build our own warships. We always expect to buy them, which is not a solution."

"My son understands. But now... our money still needs to be used in the official office. The former Senate and the House of Political Science have been disbanded. We have recruited new members to give them some benefits. If we favor one and the other, it will inevitably make these members feel dissatisfied and harmed again."

"Dare! I have been tolerating those members of the parliament for a long time. If these new members of the parliament dare to learn from those seniors, I will be rude to them! Members of parliament can be the president's think tank, but they cannot restrain them. Those who dare to ruin my business will make them look good. Don't give them too much money. If people are not in a good mood, the snake swallows elephant. The more money they give them, the more they want, and they can't afford to spend the country's wealth. If you give a few dollars, do what you want, and leave. Our money must be kept for big things. Er'an went to Sichuan, without tens of millions of military pay, it would be impossible to suppress the scene. The 37th Division in Shandong is still not taking action?"

Yuan Keyun pondered for a moment and said, "The 37th Division suffered a great loss in Weifang, and the troops were reduced by more than 60%, which was considered a miserable victory. Now recruiting new recruits and replenishing teams has not been completed, so it is not possible to go out for the time being. When the troops are replenished, it will be too late to go out again."

"All new recruits... I don't have to do anything if I go. I originally wanted to use the Lu army to shock the Yunnan army. If it is necessary, Guan Hou will go to Western Shu in person and come to the Second Tiger Club. See if it is Zhou Gongjin or Zhao Zilong is powerful. Now that the Lu army is like this, don't touch him now. If the northern army goes south, you should consider it if you are not adapting to the local conditions. You don't have to worry about other matters. When Guan Hou comes to Beijing and pays birthday to your aunt, I will talk to him in person."

Yuan Keyun walked out of the room and couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead. Yuan Keming, the chief supervisor, stepped forward and kowtowed to Yuan Keyun. After getting up, he asked in a low voice: "Uncle, how are you? Has the old man fooled me?"

"It's really not easy. Don't be so smart when you treat a doctor. Tell him a lie. I have to stare at six lies. If you are not careful, you will definitely reveal it when you talk to him. Talking something good is more tired than running outside for a day. Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. Now there is a major thing, you can't miss me."

The two of them walked and said, "The old man said that on his birthday, he would talk to Zhao Guanhou about dispatching troops and generals. If he had to say it, he would have missed it all! We must be cleaned up in this matter. Hurry up and think of a solution. No matter what, we should not let these two meet each other, let alone talk."

Yuan Keming pondered: "It's an opportunity for Zhao Guanhou to enter Beijing, otherwise..."

"Nonsense, you think I haven't thought about it, that's impossible! He is now the master supported by the Chinese people. Whoever dares to touch him? One must be a spy in Fusang. Just scolding you will make you curse. Master, do you think you are satisfied with him? But you must also consider the people's wishes and opinions, and dare not act rashly. Don't act like this. If you really provoke something, don't say I don't care about you."

"What the uncle said is that I didn't understand. Then I have to do this. I'm trying to stop him, saying I'm trying to stop him, you have to be tired, go to the eldest wife, and say something to a small talk and make a smile. I know you two are not dealing with him, but for the sake of serious business, he has to deal with him, and think about Han Xin's humiliation under his crotch. If you want to stop Zhao Guanshuai, then the only one is the eldest wife. She says something, Zhao Guanshuai will definitely listen."

When Yuan Keyun thought of this big enemy who wanted to ask for his mother, his face changed a few times, and his crutches were poking hard on the imperial road. "This... well! For the sake of great cause, he has to eat all kinds of hardships and bear all kinds of sins. Isn't it just begging her? I'll go! Now I can only hope that she has this magical power and can be subdued, this Zhao Guanhou! She also has a share in this trick. If it is missed, no one will benefit."

The order to dissolve the provincial parliament was not implemented in Shandong. In the eyes of the President, the governors of all provinces suffered from the constraints of their power by parliament and were bound to be willing to implement this order and completely abolish it. Especially in Shandong, Zhao Guanhou could not even allow the inspectors to be enforced, so how could he allow the provincial parliament?

But in fact, the Shandong Provincial Parliament is still the same. The members of the parliament do their own thing, but they just took off the sign of the provincial Parliament and replaced it with the Shandong Advisory Council.

Shandong MPs in Beijing were not deported. After the old parliament was disbanded, they became members of the new parliament. In the eight major hutongs, they were still the favorites of a group of yulds. The military and police were also respectful to them. Obviously, for the sake of Zhao Guanhou's face, no one dared to make things difficult for them.

However, compared to these people traveling to the capital, Shandong congressmen believe that they are living a more free and easy life. At least, it is a great honor for them to still hold meetings in the context of the disbandment of provincial parliaments.

Zou Jingzhai, the new speaker, is different from Wang Hexuan before. He has a more meticulous control over the parliament and is preventing the recurrence of Zhao Fengbo. He also knows the news from Beijing very clearly and is quite worried about the situation.

"Although we in Shandong did not dissolve the parliament, the parliamentarians have great opinions on the practices of the capital. We confiscated the parliamentary certificates without authorization and dissolved the provincial parliament. In the next step, should the president directly appoint the parliamentary members? This is completely contrary to the spirit of public housing and loses the meaning of the parliament. Many people are saying that we are doing fake public housing or the former Golden Royal Family. Also, what kind of public opinion conference is now being held by neighboring provinces, and we need representatives of public opinion to express our opinions on the current national system. If you are satisfied with the national system, why do you have to make a statement? I think the president is building momentum and making changes to the national system."

He looked at Zhao Guanhou, worried that he would be disgusted, and saw that he had no expression, so he continued: "Guan Shuai, we have worked together since the pre-Jin era. If there is no Guan Shuai, there will be no me today. I am loyal to Guan Shuai. But... let me say that the common situation is the general trend and will not be changed by manpower. We cannot act against the contrary and invite those who have been sent to the coffin back. The elders of Shandong will not agree."

Zhao Guanhou nodded and said, "Old Zou, you are very saying. Don't be humble. In the pre-Jin era, I also relied on your big pen to sit firmly on this governor. Otherwise, the exchange of documents would be exhausted. Even now, without the help of a few people, where can I get time to accompany my wife and go shopping in the mall? I have also heard the news about the affairs of various provinces. There are many military and police, and I personally supervise it. This is to force people to choose constitutionalism, not co-union. I express my attitude. Shandong and Liangjiang do not do this. I support co-union and always support it! I will not consider constitutionalism, nor will I participate. Even if the orders above come, I will not implement them."

Zou Jingzhai finally breathed

"This is the best. Otherwise, the elders of Shandong will be in peace again. However, Guan Shuai also has to think of a way to do it perfunctorily. This kind of stubbornness is probably not a solution..."

"It's hard to perfunctory. I have sent several telegrams to Beijing and wrote two long letters, explaining my attitude very clearly. Shandong always supports the president and obeys the president's decisions, but... this kind of self-destruction of the foundation cannot be done. Shandong cannot accompany him to die. However, there is no following in the telegram or the letter. I suspect that the president didn't watch it at all. I will go to the face to say it to the president and his wife after a while."

Zou Jingzhai hesitated a little, "Master, please think twice. Going to Beijing rashly is afraid of your own disadvantage..."
