Rebirth of the Rising Sun

zNanhai Huairen Hall.

Qin Xianghua greeted Mr. Hou and his entourage very respectfully.

Qin Xianghua knew that when Hou Lao was the leader, he liked to hold meetings here the most, so he also set the meeting place here.

After entering the hall, Mr. Hou looked at the furnishings here and smiled slightly, "Comrade Xiang Hua, there is no change here."

"Yes, it is still arranged in the same way as when the old leader was here." Qin Xianghua said respectfully.

"Haha, okay, here I seem to have returned to the old feeling, but if you look carefully, it is still different after all. I am still old." Mr. Hou seemed to be speaking from his heart.

"No, old leader, you are not old at all. I think you can live another hundred years." Qin Xianghua said with a chuckle.

"Haha, Comrade Xiang Hua, why do you only say nice things? This is not like when you were young. People will grow old after all, and so will I. When people get old, they are more likely to make wrong decisions. So, this is what you young people should understand." Mr. Hou seemed to be saying this unintentionally, but if you think about these words carefully, you can find that they are indeed meaningful.

Obviously, Mr. Hou took the responsibility of keeping an eye on the Zhao family. Perhaps only by doing so could he prevent others from escalating the matter.

There are not many people in the Republic who can be said to be still young, but there is no doubt that Hou Lao is one of them.

"Old leader, this is serious. Some things have been done, so let's just think about how to make up for it. Don't worry, Xiang Hua is already thinking of a way." Qin Xianghua could of course understand what Mr. Hou meant. He was simply talking about arranging people to keep an eye on the Zhao family.

Qin Xianghua was very clear about this matter. This was definitely not what Elder Hou meant. With his wisdom, even if he was old and confused, he would never take such a risk. He could even guess who would make such a decision. But now that Elder Hou had agreed, he couldn't say anything.

"Well, thank you for your hard work. Let me see, what do you need me to do?" Hou Lao nodded silently. He knew that Qin Xianghua understood what he meant, so he naturally had to do something to save face.

"Old leader, if you don't mind, please withdraw your previous order. Ducheng Province still needs to continue to develop." Qin Xianghua tried to say.

"No problem." Old Hou nodded. He was determined to withdraw the sanctions on the Capital Province. After something like this happened, the initiative was no longer in his hands. If he wanted to calm things down, he had to do this. He didn't do it before because he was waiting for Qin Xianghua to bring it up.

At least, he wanted to give people the impression that he was not afraid of Zhao Mingyuan, and he was only doing this for Qin Xianghua's sake.

Seeing that Mr. Hou nodded, Qin Xianghua hesitated for a moment and then said, "As for the Lu family, I think you need to put some pressure on them. The eldest brother of the Lu family listens to you the most."

"Okay, I'll call and talk to Boss Lu." Boss Hou continued to nod, as if these were just small matters that he would not take seriously at all.

"Well, if that's possible, I can also guarantee that no one without connections will appear in Kyoto anymore." After Mr. Hou agreed to two conditions in succession, Qin Xianghua also expressed his position, that is, the task of persuading Feng Sizhe to return to the capital province would be left to him.

"That's the best." Mr. Hou quickly understood Qin Xianghua's meaning and nodded.

Just a few words solved the current problem. This is the dialogue between high-level officials, which is far from being as complicated as ordinary people imagine.

This also proves a truth, that is, the most effective way to solve problems is often to use the simplest way.

After Qin Xianghua sent Mr. Hou away, he immediately told Ren Tianfang the result. He knew that once Ren Tianfang knew it, Feng Sizhe would also know it soon, and the Zhao family should be able to suppress it.

Sure enough, after a while, he received a report from the Military Commission that Commander Zhao Wanyong and Commander He Shengli had made preparations to go to Beijing, but for some reason, they suddenly did not come.

Knowing that it was Ren Tianfang who passed the message to Feng Sizhe, and that there would be no more movement from the army, Qin Xianghua breathed a sigh of relief. Next, it would depend on the reaction of the Lu family. As long as the Lu family also gave in and fulfilled the benefits and promises to Feng Sizhe, then things would be much easier.

Kyoto Lu family.

The eldest son of the Lu family, Lu Guofan, has returned to Kyoto from Beidaihe.

Boss Lu rushed back to Kyoto after receiving a call from Boss Hou. As soon as he got home, he called his three younger brothers back.

In the huge study of the Lu family, three figures who could make the republic tremble with just one stomp of their feet just lowered their heads. At this moment, their arrogance was gone, because even at this moment, the elder brother had a frosty face and looked very angry.

"Brother, you must take care of yourself." As the second oldest, Lu Guozhi had to take the initiative to speak at this time.

"You still remember to ask me to take care of myself. If you know that, why do you still want to do some things? Let me ask you, was this your idea?" Boss Lu, who was holding a high-quality wooden stick, asked sternly.

"Brother, to be honest, that kid was really shameless this time. We were so angry that..." Lu Guozhi wanted to resist a few more times to express his dissatisfaction.

"Bastard, bastard." The wooden stick hit the ground again, and then Boss Lu sounded very sad and angry.

After his elder brother's scolding, Lu Guozhi dared not say anything. It was not because he thought he was wrong, but because he was worried about his elder brother's health. He did not dare to continue to talk back like this, because he was afraid that it would make his elder brother too angry and ruin his health.

The existence of Boss Lu is absolutely like a family treasure to the Lu family. As long as Boss Lu is there, it can be foreseen that many problems of the Lu family will be easier to solve. After all, Boss Lu is one of the leaders of the same generation as Old Hou. His existence will naturally play a deterrent role.

Everyone in the Lu family understands this very well, so he knows very well that he should give in to the old man, as this is truly for his own good.

Now seeing that Boss Lu was furious, no one dared to say anything, for fear of making the old man angry.

The three younger brothers were silent, and then Big Boss Lu continued, "Regarding this matter, you did something wrong. You didn't see the overall situation at all. Now many people are dissatisfied and want me to give an explanation, so..." Big Boss Lu seemed to hesitate for a moment, as if he was making a difficult decision, and then he continued, "I think Guo Zhi should step down first and go to the National People's Congress to make contributions."

"Brother!" Lu Guozhi shouted in surprise when he heard that he would give up his position as the head of the Ministry of Railways.

Then Lu Guodong and Lu Guoliang opened their eyes and mouths wide, and shouted "Big Brother" at the same time.

"Okay, it's settled." The Lu family's eldest brother said in an unquestionable tone.

It was very difficult for the eldest son of the Lu family to make this decision, but he had to do it because it was a joint decision made by Hou Qishou and Qin Xianghua.

The three brothers of the Lu family are all in extremely important positions, which makes many people feel dissatisfied. There are so many good positions in total, and your Lu family occupies three, so how can others survive? It is just because of the support of Mr. Hou all the time, so although others have complaints in their hearts, they will not say anything openly.

This time, the Lu family's wrong decision caused a sudden change in the dispute between the Hou and Zuo factions. Under such circumstances, Mr. Hou would certainly not support the Lu family. On the contrary, in order to achieve his own goals, he had to suppress the Lu family and make them sacrifice in exchange for his own interests.

Lu Xingye had framed Qin Tian before, which put the Qin and Lu factions on opposite sides. Qin Xianghua didn't move before because he felt the time was not right, but now that Hou Lao had come forward, how could he not seize such a good opportunity?

Taking this opportunity to take down the Lu family first is also in the interests of the Qin faction.

As a result, Lu Guofan naturally felt pressured. He had already seen that the wrong decisions made by his three younger brothers had given others an advantage. If he did not back down this time, a ruthless blow would be waiting for him.

In order to minimize the losses, we made this decision out of helplessness.

Looking at their father's solemn expression, the three brothers of the Lu family knew that there was no possibility of turning things around this time. They could not help but deeply regret their previous decision. If they had cooperated with Feng Sizhe's work like Li Huaisheng of the Wen family, the result would not have been like this.

Suddenly, Lu Guozhi took the initiative to resign from the posts of secretary and minister of the Ministry of Railways on the grounds of poor health. This incident immediately attracted a strong influence at the top level.

As the protagonist of the incident, Feng Sizhe couldn't help but sigh after hearing the result. The Hou family and Qin Xianghua expressed their feelings to him at the cost of a high-ranking minister. This time, he really had no reason to stay in Kyoto.

Fortunately, he had done everything he should have done to help Zuo Bing build momentum, and most importantly, the investigation over at Min Lianfa had yielded accurate information, so he was absolutely sure he could take this man down. With these guarantees, it actually didn't matter whether he stayed in Kyoto or not.

Feng Sizhe was very proud after going to the Ministry of Finance and getting the 50 billion yuan support contract.

Of course, Lu Guoliang’s attitude is extremely unfriendly, but Young Master Feng doesn’t care. He is happy to do things that can make his opponent depressed.
