After bidding farewell to Yuchun for a while, Liu Fan and Liu Fan left the lively and slightly stuffy banquet hall. Liu Qianhua, accompanied by a group of close followers, strolled to the Haiyan Pavilion on the lakeside.

Six Russian field guns captured during the Asia-Russia War were placed in a row in the small square in front of the attic. They were covered with green paint from the barrel to the wheel hub. After repeated exposure to wind and sun, the paint cracked and peeled off.

Everywhere you look.

In the main hall on the first floor, a stone tablet expressing his achievements in the Asia-Russia War written by the late Emperor Liu Yun is enshrined. In the glass box surrounding the stone tablet, dozens of blurry flags were unfolded - it turned out that thick dust had already accumulated on the glass cover.

On the small pier on the right side of the attic, the Russian torpedo boat moored here is already rusty and unsightly.

Liu Qianhua stopped in front of a gun barrel that was about to lose its paint. He held the gun wheel with his hand and sighed: "I haven't been here for two years. I may not have cared about it before. But today I saw that it is all in such a dilapidated state."

——Mirror, find someone to tidy up this place someday and make it look fresher."

The female official Ye Jingying hurriedly bowed and said: "I was negligent. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Liu Qianhua raised the palace fan and tapped Ye Jingying's exposed pink and white lotus root arm. She half blamed and half affectionately winked and said: "We are all our own people here, so don't act like this and get back on your feet."

Before he finished speaking, his eyes turned, and his warm and watery gaze fell on the face of Pan Guochen, who was wearing a full snow-white navy uniform.

Just yesterday, the Ministry of the Navy officially issued a document stating that Major General Pan Guochen, the former chief attaché at the palace base camp, was transferred to the position of commander of the 5th Marine Division and was to report to the South Pacific Theater Command within three days.

"Mr. Pan is leaving tomorrow. It's all my fault that your marriage has been delayed again and again.",

Before Pan Guochen could speak, Liu Qianhua reached out and pulled Ye Jingying over, whispering in her ear: "I have arranged everything in the garden. You go and say goodbye to Mr. Pan, and you don't have to come back tonight."

Ye Jingying still wanted to refuse, but Liu Qianhua pushed her in front of Pan Guochen. The two looked at each other and left together in understanding.

Before anyone could react, Liu Qianhua turned to the two young and heroic military attachés nearby: "You two will also go to the front line in a few days. Remember, bullets don't have long eyes. You are not allowed to act like a hero casually. I still have many more."

Things will be handled when you come back."

Also yesterday, the Ministry of the Army issued an article: Lieutenant Colonel Nie Wenqing, the Attaché to the Palace and Liaison Officer of the Base Camp, was transferred to the battalion commander of a motorized infantry battalion of the 2nd Armored Corps under the West Asian Theater; Attendant to the Palace and Liaison Officer of the Base Camp, Bodolga, Inner Mongolia

Major Amullinggui, Prince of Taiwan, was transferred to the post of battalion commander of a cavalry battalion of the Guards Cavalry in the Central Asian Theater.

I saw Nie Wenqing and Amullinggui kneeling down on one knee, lowering their heads and shouting: "I obey the order."

Liu Qianhua ordered them to lie down, and then warned softly: "Nie Wenqing, when you are transferring planes in Mumbai, please pay a visit to your old boss Li Ruishi for me. I heard that he returns to the front line every now and then, please advise him properly.

, let him rest in peace and recuperate, I have my own arrangements for him."

"Amullinggui, when you pass by Akdoka, please bring a message to Commander Wang Zhi for me. Just eight words: Not in his position. Not in charge of his affairs."

The two of them respectfully obeyed the order, and Liu Qianhua ordered them to leave first. He also called three imperial advisers to come closer and talk.

"Qing, Mr. Huang, given the current situation, you and your wife will have nothing to do if you continue to stay in the palace. For the time being, you can work hard for me and go out for activities outside the palace. Once the overall situation changes in the future, I must gain enough support in the corporate and political circles.

Only with support can we be sure to control possible turbulence and destruction to a minimum."

The two people who are affectionately called by the Queen are Zhang Qianqing, the former economic adviser to the emperor, and her husband, Huang Hao, the former political adviser to the emperor.

The former is the daughter of Zhang Jian, the richest man in the empire, and is also the chairman of the Qianhua Group, the largest garment manufacturing company in East Asia. She has wide connections in the entire East Asian business community.

The latter is the son of the late Speaker of the House of Representatives Huang Linhong, the youngest current member of Congress of the Chinese Democratic Party, and the chairman of the private Haotian Cultural Foundation, the most prestigious political research and funding institution in the empire.

It is very influential in both political and academic circles.

With the intermediary of these two people, Liu Qianhua was able to completely bypass the bureaucratic system controlled by the elders and directly communicate secretly with the business and political circles.

Zhang Qianqing and Huang Hao looked at each other, smiled and lowered their heads and said, "Member Huang and I have already had this intention. Please rest assured, Your Majesty, we know what to do."

"You guys are doing things, so I don't have anything to worry about."

Liu Qianhua nodded, without asking any further questions, and immediately turned his gaze to the senior diplomat behind them who was familiar with Nanyang and South Asia affairs - the Imperial Diplomatic Advisor Ye Hua.

"Advisor Ye, later you go ask the regent for a decree, saying that you will serve as an imperial envoy to visit Southeast Asia, India and other places. The name is to comfort you, but in fact you are going to investigate the inside story and see the military.

What good things did everyone do there?"

Ye Huahua said: "I obey the order, but I am working alone and my ability is limited. I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve anything under the supervision of the military..."

Liu Qianhua stared at him and said with concern: "Since I let you go, I will not leave you alone. Someone will contact you along the way. The specific situation will be explained to you tomorrow by Ms. Ye. Remember, the inside story is very important.

, but no matter what, safety comes first, and you have to control your own sense of proportion."

Ye Hua knelt down and said: "I understand, I will live up to the emperor's trust."

"Pingshen, you guys go back to the hall first, I'm here to get some fresh air."

Seeing that the three of them were still hesitant, Liu Qianhua raised his eyes and glanced at the three guards standing in the distance: "Guard Chief Huang and the others are here. There is nothing to worry about. Go, I will come back later."

The three people then retreated in compliance with the order. For a while, only the Queen and the three guards who commanded the palace were left in the small square in front of Haiyan Pavilion - Huang Chengming, the chief of the palace guards and the leader of the Imperial Guards Yulin Regiment.

Colonel, Lieutenant Colonel Wu Jun, Deputy Chief of the Palace Guards and Commander of the Shenji Battalion of the Imperial Guards' Yulin Regiment, Major Wang Yiyang, First Class Guard and Commander of the Forward Battalion of the Imperial Guards' Yulin Regiment.

The Imperial Guard Yulin Regiment was a front-line guard force established during the Guangxing period. It was known as the "Emperor's personal soldiers." Unlike the general infantry regiments that had three to four battalions, this regiment had six battalions, four of which were mainly responsible for execution.

Non-combat missions such as sentries, patrols, and ceremonial guards in the Forbidden City and Xinhua Palace have limited actual combat capabilities.

Shenji and the 2nd Forward Battalion serve as a mobile guard force, equipped with armored vehicles, infantry artillery and other heavy weapons, and focus on key area defense and street fighting assault training, which is the core combat strength of the entire regiment.

"Chief Guard Huang, bring your men closer to talk."

Liu Qianhua gave an order loudly, and Huang Chengming and the other three people quickly approached from three directions. When they were three steps away from the Queen, they all knelt down and listened to the order.

"Now that the regent has the power, he doesn't have any capable bodyguards around him. I'm very worried. Besides, I may have to stay here for a long time, and there's no way you can run away from me."

Liu Qianhua paused for a moment, looking at the rippling blue waters of Kunming Lake beside the island, and the waves in his heart continued to converge towards a certain place.

"I have thought about it. From today on, Wu Jun will lead the Shenji Battalion to be stationed in the Summer Palace, and Wang Yiyang will lead the Qianfeng Battalion to be stationed in Xinhua Palace. The Haw Par Battalion will be divided into two teams. Huang Chengming will lead a team to be permanently stationed in the capital, and Wu Jun will lead both

One team is on standby outside the Summer Palace."

The three of them lowered their heads and shouted in unison: "I obey the order."

Liu Qianhua suddenly added in a more serious tone: "Huang Chengming, Wang Yiyang, I want you to have a clear mind. Once the overall situation changes, no matter what news you hear about me, don't waver. Just act decisively according to your own ideas.

"

Huang Chengming raised his head slightly, as if to confirm the seriousness of Her Majesty the Queen's words.

The hesitation between him and Wang Yiyang did not last long, and precisely because of this hesitation, the next promise seemed to have more weight.

"Subordinate, Huang Chengming takes the order."

"Subordinate, Wang Yiyang takes charge of the order."

After finally explaining a lot of things in a long time, Liu Qianhua nodded with relief, waved his hand and ordered: "Everyone, please step aside. I want to be alone."

This time, Huang Chengming stood up without hesitation, led Wu Jun and Wang Yiyang, and quickly disappeared from the Queen's sight.

For a moment, the surroundings were so calm that only the sound of the lake water lapping against the island shore was left.

To Liu Qianhua's ears, this sounded like he was urging himself to leave.

Time cannot stand still, nor can she stop. Game of Thrones should never have a happy ending. Why doesn’t the innocent and kind young lady in my heart die as soon as possible?

Failure is failure, and any excuse is ultimately pale, weak, cowardly, and useless.

It's time to let the failed self die.
