"Go and call if you're willing. Xiao Cui sent me a telegram to tell me." Shen Ruoxue said with a giggle over there, "I can't help but want to take a concubine at last."

"It was purely accidental, haha." Zhao Shouhong knew that it would not be good for him to keep pestering him like this, so he quickly changed the subject: "Is the problem with your stocks not over yet? The officials in my imperial capital are also buying stocks, and the momentum seems to be It's a little big."

"Soon, I'm starting to close the network slowly. This time you want to catch all the foreign merchants, which is not a small difficulty. I need to operate carefully. This is the whole world closing the network at the same time. I can't be careless." Shen Ruoxue complained.Historically, foreign businessmen were well-informed, and they evacuated funds first, resulting in very small losses, while the losses of Chinese people were very heavy.This time Zhao Shouhong didn't intend to be polite, Shen Ruoxue had a lot of difficulty in handling the foreign businessmen.

"Don't be tired, rest more when you have time. Money is endless, and we can't slaughter the countries too hard, otherwise we won't be able to fight a war." Zhao Shouhong laughed.

"It doesn't matter, the government is not deeply involved in the stock market. We are not the only ones who are buying the bottom this time. The big banks in Western Continent and New Continent will also earn a lot of money, but we make a lot of money." Shen Ruoxue said confidently, and then She asked again full of resentment: "When will you come to see me? I miss you so much."

"I was just appointed as the censor of Youdu, so I can't get away for a while." Zhao Shouhong's whole body trembled, and he suddenly thought of an idea: "Do you want to see me soon?" Zhao Shouhong suddenly asked with a smile .

"Of course I think about it, you should come here now." Shen Ruoxue acted like a baby to him, which was rare in the past.

Zhao Shouhong smiled mysteriously: "Give me all your domestic intelligence network, and I can go back quickly."

"Okay, I'll leave it to you." Shen Ruoxue replied happily, and then she told Zhao Shouhong the contact point of the imperial capital.

Just after the communication was turned off, Wang Lingji came in suddenly and said, "Boss, there is a telegram from home." As he spoke, he sent a telegram to Zhao Shouhong.

Zhao Shouhong was taken aback for a moment. He took a look at the telegram and found that it was jointly sent by several people including Xie Mingjue and Pan Wenhua from Zhongchuan.It turned out that the imperial court had sent secret envoys to Zhongchuan to win over the middle and high-ranking officers of the army. They promised high-ranking officials and rich salary and befriended many generals and officials with gold and silver. Obviously, they planned to split Zhao Shouhong's subordinates.Now that the entire Vanguard Party has been mobilized, everyone strictly guards against defection, and at the same time monitors the special envoy from the imperial capital to avoid accidents.

After reading the telegram, Zhao Shouhong smiled slightly: "It's true that the tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop. I can't even take a vacation, but I dare to poach my corner. I'm not Yuan Kai. Since you have me in the imperial capital, you have to be unlucky." If I don't turn the imperial capital upside down this time, my surname will not be Zhao."

Zhao Shouhong quickly contacted the intelligence system of God's Capital and gave them a task. He didn't need to take care of the rest of the matter. He just had to wait for the news at home.Shen Ruoxue's intelligence system is extremely capable, and in just half a day, what Zhao Shouhong needed was collected.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhao Shouhong was so spirited that Xu Haichang wondered what went wrong with him today.Just after the ministers reported their work, the eunuch on the side shouted: "If there is something to do, go to work and play early, and if there is nothing to do, leave the court."

"The minister has his own principles." Zhao Shouhong shouted loudly, and then fell to his knees when he left the class.Everyone was taken aback by Zhao Shouhong's move. They didn't know what Zhao Shouhong was going to do after he had just entered the court for a few days.

Seeing Zhao Shouhong's shift, Zaifeng was also quite curious. He didn't know that Zhao Shouhong, who was very capable but very low-key, wanted to do something big this time. "Quasi-playing." Zaifeng said habitually with a wave of his hand.

"The minister wants to participate in the military aircraft minister Natong to sell the official title and bestow the official position in the court privately." Zhao Shouhong's voice was so loud that everyone present trembled in fright.Natong's face changed drastically immediately, he said he was wronged and immediately went out of class and knelt down.

Yikuang, who supported constitutionalism in the past, is still serving as his chief minister of military affairs. This old man with neither knowledge nor ability to do things can still occupy a high position because of "honor or disgrace, it is all in the holy will." 'These eight-character philosophy of life.At the beginning, the empress dowager was determined to forge ahead, and Yikuang, who was aware of Shangyi, strongly supported constitutionalism. Now that the empress dowager is dead, the empress dowager Longyu and Zaifeng are the conservative masters, and he has become more neutral.

The change in Yikuang's attitude caused changes in those under him as well.Zai Zhen, Na Tong and others, who were not interested in constitutionalism at the beginning, have completely leaned towards the diehards at this time.It is precisely because of this situation that when discussing Zhao Shouhong's award a few days ago, he would stop him.

Originally because of Yuan Shikai's affection, Zhao Shouhong shouldn't make things difficult for Yiqiang's people.But he always has a principle, that is, if someone doesn't attack me, I won't attack him, if someone attacks me, I will be paralyzed.Since Natong made the first move, he would naturally not spare the opponent lightly.Taking this opportunity, he can also let Zaifeng and others understand that although I support constitutionalism, I am not Mrs. Yuan Kui.At the same time, I would also beat Yikuang's subordinates. Although there are not many people in my family who are officials in the imperial capital, anyone who dares to mess with me will not have good results.

Natong is a member of Yikuang's group, and he has never been at odds with Zaifeng.Zhao Shouhong, as the imperial envoy of the right capital, even participated in the courtier's job, so there is nothing wrong with impeaching him on the table.But Natong was always crying out for grievances, but Zaifeng frowned slightly.

What happened between Na Tong and Zai Zhenqian is well known in the world, otherwise they would not be dubbed as Qing Na Company. Now that they have been sued, they still have the nerve to complain there. It is really annoying.Even though he knew what Natong was, Zaifeng still pretended to ask: "Since Mr. Zhao said that Natong was guilty, do you have evidence?"

"Of course there is." Zhao Shouhong pulled out a thick stack of documents from his sleeve and handed them up: "This is the record of Natong's salesman, and there are detailed records of the transfer and delivery of money, all of which are written by Natong."

When Zhao Shouhong took out this account book, Na Tong was shocked.He looked at Zhao Shouhong in disbelief, and then at the cover of the familiar ledger, feeling horrified in his heart.This account book was properly collected by myself, so how could it be stolen directly by someone.Na Tong looked it over carefully, the ledger really belonged to him, how could he continue to quibble.

Chapter 321 Natong's Stroke

"Natong, you are so courageous, you have corrupted the law to such an extent." Zai Feng angrily smashed the dragon pillar next to him and said, "To be honest, how much money have you been greedy for?"

"My minister is wronged, wronged, Lord Regent, please look into it." Na Tong knelt on the ground and kowtowed, but he never told the truth.He knows that there is still a way to survive if he bites him to death now, if he lets go, it will be a disaster for his family.

Yikuang hurried out of class to explain to Natong: "My lord, the regent, although the account book is well-founded, it must be verified in detail before being convicted. You can't arrest people as soon as you see the account book, it will lose the dignity of the court." What Yikuang said was for Zaifeng and the Empress Dowager Longyu to hear. After all, Natong was the minister of military aircraft and the Yehenala family. If he was removed from office in court, it would not look good for the court.

In fact, Yikuang also had to stand up for Natong, after all, he and his son Zaizhen joined forces to betray the official, and if he was really investigated and dealt with, he might even be implicated.Thinking of this, Yikuang couldn't help but peeked at Zhao Shouhong. He didn't know why this general of the constitutional faction would do such a thing. Could it be that Yuan Kai wanted to give himself a blow.

Yikuang's words made Zaifeng slowly calm down. He knew that this kind of thing was a scandal of the court, and he couldn't make it public, otherwise he would lose face as well.Zaifeng cleared his throat and said: "Prince Qing's words are also reasonable, please let the Queen Mother decide."

Empress Dowager Longyu also understood the reason, she nodded and said: "Since this is the case, this matter will be postponed for the time being, and we will deal with it after it is verified. Let the regent handle this matter himself."

"The minister takes the order." Zaifeng quickly kowtowed to accept the order.

It was early morning, and Tong Tieqing was the first to leave, and when he passed by Zhao Shouhong, he gave Zhao Shouhong a hard look.It's a pity that Zhao Shouhong didn't seem to see him, he kept watching him with a smile on his face, and Natong was so angry that he almost tripped when he left the hall.

All the ministers in the court today don't understand what Zhao Shouhong wants to do. If he wants to deal with the diehards, he should at least participate in Zaifeng's family.If you want to break with the constitutionalists, you should always participate in Xu Haichang's speech, but he found a centrist to start.

Even Xu Haichang was very confused about this matter. When the court was over, he couldn't help being two steps behind and approached Zhao Shouhong: "What is Shouhong's intention today? Why do you want to play Natong?"

"Because I have received the grace of the Lord, I have to do some practical things when I become the Imperial Envoy of the Right Capital. It is widely known that Tong sells officials, but no one dares to take care of him. I will naturally stand up and rectify the situation." Zhao Shouhong didn't tell the truth. But it was Tai Chi with Xu Haichang, which made the old man completely confused.

Seeing Zhao Shouhong didn't say anything, Xu Haichang had no choice but to stop talking. He planned to go back and find his own people to figure it out and study Zhao Shouhong's purpose.All forces have the same idea. Although Zhao Shouhong is the youngest first-rank official, he has become the focus of the entire imperial capital. Everyone is guessing what he wants to do.

Na Tong returned home full of anger, but he didn't dare to let the situation develop.Now the account book has fallen into Zaifeng's hands, even though it is only a part of the account, it is enough for him to be sentenced to death.What's even more frightening is that most of Natong's family property has been invested in the stock market now, and even the money he manages around is not enough, so he has to ask Yikuang for news.

Yikuang was also puzzled, they spent a long time together, but couldn't find any solution.Yikuang finally gave him an unsolvable solution, giving Zaifeng a great gift.Only when Zaifeng is satisfied can this crisis be resolved.

After getting such a solution, Tong was even more angry, which was tantamount to Yikuang declaring that he had let go of him.On the way back home, the more Natong thought about it, the more angry he felt, the back of his head was numb, and the corners of his mouth turned sideways unconsciously.Back in the mansion, the servants opened the curtain of the sedan chair according to the usual habit and asked the adults to get off the sedan chair, but no one answered.The servants looked into the sedan chair, and saw that Tong's fat body was sitting in the sedan chair. At this moment, his mouth was squinting and his whole body was limp, and his saliva was dripping on the court clothes.It turned out that Natong was so anxious that he suffered a stroke.

In the morning court the next day, everyone knew the news about Tong's stroke. Before the court session, everyone started whispering and pointing at Zhao Shouhong from time to time.Zhao Shouhong was unmoved at all, standing there with a smile on his face all the time, as if what these people were talking about was not him.

Yikuang frowned and stood in front, looking at Zhao Shouhong from time to time.Although this time because of Na Tong's stroke, he and Zai Zhen will not be implicated again, but he lost a big help from his subordinates like this, which made him unhappy.

Xu Haichang was also frowning. The members of the constitutionalists had discussed all night yesterday, but none of them understood Zhao Shouhong's intentions. Only Yang Xizi did not argue with the others, but just smiled and sat beside him without saying a word.Now Xu Haichang is completely confused. Since Zhao Shouhong decided to form an alliance with himself and others, why did he make such a reckless decision? He decided to send a telegram to Yuan Wei today to see his opinion.

There were not many new ideas in the early morning of this day. Except for the routine reporting work, only the Queen Mother Longyu announced that the investigation work had come to an end because of Natong's stroke. It was a saving of face for the Yehenala family. Henara's.In the early court, Zhao Shouhong kept his head down and said nothing, and left immediately after retreating, without even speaking to anyone.

After Zhao Shouhong came to the imperial capital this time, he lived in seclusion and did not have any interaction with other ministers, which confused everyone.Zhao Shouhong didn't go to work at the Overwatch Council at all, and returned home to sit around after the court was over. Apart from sending a telegram to Zhongchuan to exchange news, and playing with Xiaocui in the back garden, he didn't even go out.

After lunch, Zhao Shouhong was enjoying the shade in the garden. He lay comfortably on Xiaocui's lap, allowing her to stuff sliced ​​apples into her mouth and chew slowly. Such a leisurely life since returning from time travel, Zhao Shouhong has never enjoyed it.

"Master, there is a visitor." A servant suddenly came to report.

"Oh? Who is it?" Zhao Shouhong asked.

The name said humanely: "He is a middle-aged man. But he is dressed strangely, with short hair like a fake foreign devil, but wearing a long robe."

Chapter 322 Yang Xizi Visits

"Yang Xizi." Zhao Shouhong sat up abruptly and said, "Hurry up and invite him to the flower hall for tea, and I'll be there right away." Hearing that Yang Xizi was visiting, Zhao Shouhong felt inexplicably excited.If there is anyone in the history of the Republic who stands at the pinnacle and can look at the world calmly, Yang Xizi is definitely one of them.

Although not many people really know him, Zhao Shouhong knows that if Jiang Fangzhen was the pinnacle of the Hualan military circle during the Republic period, then Yang Xizi was a leader in politics. Similar metal-ironist thought.Yang Xizi made great contributions to Yuan Kai's ability to reverse the disadvantages in the chaos of the early years of the Republic and to overwhelm Sun Wenhai to control the political situation in the country.Although he still couldn't let go of the emperor's thoughts in his mind, and always tried to use the emperor's art to influence Yuan Kai to make him achieve hegemony, he is still an outstanding political talent.

For a great talent like Yang Xizi, Zhao Shouhong would never neglect, he hurriedly changed his clothes and ran out. When he came to the flower hall, Yang Xizi's tea had just been served.

"I didn't expect brother Xizi to come here, I'm sorry to welcome you." Zhao Shouhong greeted with a smile.

Yang Xizi smiled slightly: "Master Zhao is now a first-rank official, and I'm here for a visit from a subordinate. It's already rude not to prepare a gift, how can you let the lord welcome you from afar."

Zhao Shouhong pretended to be unhappy and said: "Xizi is too out of touch. From now on, everyone will only call you by name regardless of fame, otherwise you will be born."

The expression on Yang Xizi's face didn't change, he just nodded slightly and said, "In that case, I'd rather be respectful than obedient, but what Shou Hong did yesterday doesn't seem to benefit my constitutionalists."

"What? Brother Xizi came to Xingshi to inquire about the crime?" Zhao Shouhong was stunned, and he really doubted the other party's intentions.

"That's not true, I just feel that what Shou Hong did yesterday was not too much?" Yang Xizi said.
