At 3:30 pm on the 25th, a large black car drove into the garage of the official residence of the Prime Minister. A female guard of the official residence moved a wheelchair out of the back of the car. Another female guard opened the door respectfully and helped Shang. Xiaojun sat in the wheelchair.
There was no one else in the garage, only Shang Xiaojun, the driver and the two female guards.
Two female guards pushed Shang Xiaojun into a secret elevator and went straight to the top floor.
The elevator door opened, and what appeared in front of Shang Xiaojun was a large office. At the end of the office, Shen Rongxuan was sitting behind the desk, crouching at the desk and reviewing something.
Shang Xiaojun was not mentally prepared at all. He did not expect that he would be directly in Shen Rongxuan's office after exiting the elevator. It seemed that this elevator was not usually used for public access, but was a highly private passage.
The female escort handed the wheelchair to the secretary and returned from the elevator.
The secretary bent down and smiled at Shang Xiaojun: "Good afternoon, madam." Then he carefully pushed the wheelchair over to the opposite side of Shen Rongxuan's desk.
Then, the secretary brought tea to Shang Xiaojun, bowed slightly, turned away, and left the office through the front door.
As soon as Shang Xiaojun came in, Shen Rongxuan didn't look at her, but just bent over the desk to review. It wasn't until the secretary went out and closed the door that Shen Rongxuan put down his pen, raised his head, and stared at Shang Xiaojun.
"Haha," Shen Rongxuan said with a smile after a moment, "I have been in Donglin for four years, and there has been no contact for many years. Madam, are you okay?"
Shang Xiaojun also smiled and said:
"Brother Ji Mo, are you alright?...Ah, Brother Ji Mo is now the chief minister, and I still call you my classmate. Maybe it's too offensive... How about I still call you 'Mr. Shen Ge'? Or... ...Still called 'Brother Ji Mo'?"
Shen Rongxuan was startled, then he laughed and said:
"What the hell, madam, you are too outspoken. Of course it is 'Brother Ji Mo'... There is no news among the classmates of the 1914 class, but you are the only one, madam. Haha, in these years, I have seen an old classmate from that year All of them have become pillars, focusing on family affairs and state affairs all day long. Madam, you are the only one doing Tao Qian, listening to the sound of wind and rain and reading all the year round... As everyone knows, the dean who awarded the scholarship to Madam also sighed more than once, To say that the money was given to Madam is a waste of time. If I had known better, I would have given it to Shen Rongxuan, hahaha..."
"Hehehe..."
Shang Xiaojun also waved his hand, lowered his head and smiled:
"I won't mention it anymore... I never thought that Brother Ji Mo, after sitting in the office for so many years, still hasn't smoothed your mouth! Haha..."
Then, she looked at the wall clock and smiled:
"Okay, I know Brother Ji Mo has a lot of things to do. It's not easy to find time to meet my old classmate. I won't chat with you anymore. Then I'll get straight to the point."
Shen Rongxuan smiled and said:
"please."
Shang Xiaojun put away his smile, put on a solemn expression, sighed and said:
"Her Royal Highness Princess Liaoyang and her son-in-law Tingzhi were both unfortunately killed in the northwest. Now the People's Guard is leaderless. Brother Ji Mo knows this."
Shen Rongxuan rested his elbows on the table, held his chin with his right hand, stared at Shang Xiaojun intently, and nodded:
"Um."
Shang Xiaojun continued to sigh:
"So, right now, before the bones are cold, someone is riding on the head of your old classmate's daughter."
"What do you mean, madam?" Shen Rongxuan stared at her and smiled, "Where to start?"
He secretly smiled and said: Shang Xiaojun is really here to challenge. Unfortunately, after Xiang Xiaoqiang's death, it is imperative for the cabinet to recruit the People's Guard, not to mention riding on your daughter's head, even on the head of a bigger person. Nothing can be done.
But what he didn't expect was that Shang Xiaojun did not accuse "Dongchang of sending people to monitor the People's Guards", but instead said something he had never expected.
Listening to Shang Xiaojun talk about Xiu Xiu's "tragic experience", and how ambitious Xiu Xiu was, the wolf's face appeared, wanting to absorb both Xiang Xiaoqiang's power and Xiang Xiaoqiang's widow, Shen Rongxuan's face showed He is getting more and more solemn, but his heart is getting more and more surprised.
"Oh... oh..." He shook his head slowly, tapped the paper with his pen, and sighed, "I didn't expect that the world would be so cold and cold, it would be like this... To be honest with you, madam, my wife was originally a member of the Dongchang staff. It can be said that He is also my subordinate. Although I have not directly led Ling Ai, Director Jiang, the former Director Jiang, used to be Ling Ai’s direct boss. Director Jiang often praised Ling Ai to me, saying that the little girl is very talented and personable. Be of good character, be modest, be practical, be willing to endure hardships, and be patient...
"Especially recently, I have been training in the People's Guard for more than a year with Ling Xian's son-in-law. Although his position has never been high, he has actually done some leading jobs. It can be said that he is a talent who can stand alone. I have always admired Shangxiu. ...Haha, I'm not telling you to be obedient in front of my old classmates. I'm afraid this little girl Shang Xiu's ability is better than that of Ling Xian's son-in-law. Even if he can't take charge of the entire People's Guard, at least he shouldn't be an adjutant anymore. Really Yes, if my daughter-in-law was still in Dongchang, she would definitely not be just a junior adjutant now. She might have already taken charge of her own role."
…
Shang Xiaojun didn't say anything, he just shook his head and smiled, looking very emotional and like he had something to say but couldn't say it.
Shen Rongxuan had already guessed 70% or 80% of it. He sighed deliberately:
"It's a pity that the People's Guard belongs to the military after all, and I, an old classmate, can't get involved...Why, your daughter still wants to work outside? You are now a member of a mansion. Doesn't she want to be the eldest daughter comfortably at home?"
Shang Xiaojun shook his head and sighed:
"I tried to persuade her to do so, but it seems that my daughter's heart can't be controlled. She can't bear to see the People's Guard that she founded fall into the hands of that treacherous villain."
"Haha..." Shen Rongxuan picked up the teacup and drank, "What the madam means..."
Shang Xiaojun laughed, shook his head and said:
"Brother Ji Mo, I really admire you. You are a busy person with many things to do, but you can hold your breath more calmly in Tai Chi than I am, a woman... Okay, okay, I surrender. Old classmate, let's make it clear. Tell me."
Shen Rongxuan put down the cup with a smile of victory:
"What I wish for."
Shang Xiaojun said:
"Brother Ji Mo, you have always had some grudges with Tingzhi. I know this. This is why I have been in Nanjing for so long and it has been inconvenient for me to come and catch up with you, an old classmate. I know that you have nothing to do with Tingzhi. Personal grudges. He is very young, holds one of the most elite troops in the Ming Dynasty, and has the absolute trust of Her Majesty the Queen. He is in a high position and is very popular. This is not a good thing. It is not a good thing for himself, and it is not a good thing for the Ming Dynasty. It has been decades since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. The country has been prosperous and the people have been strong, and the officials have been able to govern clearly. They rely on the four words "supervision and checks and balances". The existence of such a force that is almost unsupervised is undoubtedly a hidden danger for our Ming Dynasty. It is said to be a time bomb. It’s not an exaggeration. Brother Ji Mo understands the righteousness and serves the country and the people. He would rather offend the person whom Your Majesty trusts most, but also to eliminate this hidden danger for the Ming Dynasty. Although I, Shang Xiaojun, am my mother-in-law, I also admire him very much.
"Now that Tingzhi is gone, I am no longer anyone's mother-in-law, and I have no stake in this matter. Ji Mo, we are all from Donglin. We all advocate that scholar-bureaucrats rule the world together with the emperor, and that the people should be valued above the emperor. , advocates the nationalization of the military. The emergence of the People's Guard is undoubtedly contrary to the above spirit. In the long run, it will definitely be harmful to the country."
As Shang Xiaojun spoke, Shen Rongxuan nodded slightly, listening attentively and smiling slightly in approval.
Shang Xiaojun paused and said with some embarrassment:
"Especially... especially now, my little girl is being bullied by villains. You see... you are not in the military, and you can't get involved..."
Shen Rongxuan smiled and said:
"What Madam said is profound and righteous, and it really makes Ji Mo ashamed. To be honest, Ji Mo has always been at odds with Ling Xian's son-in-law, so how can we say that there is not some selfish desire for power in it? Alas... Haha, things change and people change, so I won’t mention it anymore.”
He tapped the document paper in front of him with the tip of his pen, thought for a while, raised his head and said:
"Although Shen cannot directly influence the People's Guard, he can influence His Majesty. And Your Majesty can directly control the People's Guard. In this way, I can suggest to Your Majesty that Li Changgui be temporarily appointed as Commander-in-Chief, and then the People's Guard will be increased by one For the two departments, I will ask Your Majesty to hand over the new department to Shang Xiu to lead. I will also try to add some people to serve as her backing. As for Du Ziteng, he used to be from Dongchang, haha, I know him. Now With Li Changgui on top and Shang Xiu on his side, he can be ignored in a few days... Haha, with Ji Mo's arrangement, Madam, are you relieved?"
Shang Xiaojun was secretly proud. Things were just as she expected, and they were developing in the direction she hoped. However, she smiled "hehe", but she always felt that something was wrong. It seemed to be going too smoothly. Shen Rong Xuan can't be that simple, can he?
Shen Rongxuan also smiled and said:
"Haha... Madam, Ji Mo also has a merciless request. It may be a bit presumptuous to say it. Madam, please don't take offense."
Shang Xiaojun was worried and laughed:
"Brother Ji Mo, what did you say..."
Shen Rongxuan smiled and said:
"I like this child Xiuxiu very much. And...hehe, you also know what happened back then. My wife has always been very...oh, I won't tell you 'my wife', she is also your wife. Classmate, Fengping has always been thinking about Xiuxiu. Shen has no children. If Madam is willing to make it happen, Ji Mo and his wife Fengping are willing to accept Xiuxiu as their goddaughter. I wonder what Madam wants?"
Shang Xiaojun's mind suddenly went blank.
She stayed there for several seconds before she came to her senses. Shang Xiaojun's first thought was: Shen Rongxuan wants to take Xiuxiu away! He wants to take Xiuxiu away and use it as a tool for him to control the People's Guard! As for how he took Xiuxiu away, it was very simple, with his wife, Xu Fengping!
He said that he recognized Xiuxiu as his goddaughter, but Xu Fengping was originally Xiuxiu's biological mother! As long as Xiuxiu appeared in front of her as a daughter - regardless of whether it was "kissed" or "fucked" - mother and daughter would be connected. , they will all become dear soon!
...When the time comes, can Xiuxiu still be able to kiss herself?
She originally wanted to use the People's Guard as bait to let Shen Rongxuan pave the way for Xiuxiu, but she didn't expect that Shen Rongxuan had such a skill!
Looking at the smiling Shen Rongxuan, Shang Xiaojun's back started to sweat.
