Chapter 138: Preparing for Next Year

Wang Maoru smiled bitterly, and didn't dare to speak, after all, this is the eldest prince's mansion, this second son of Yuan loves to play, and the conversation is unscrupulous, but after all, he is the second son, if he offends the above, he really doesn't know if he has no place to die.

Yuan Kewen patted Wang Maoru's shoulder, sighed, and turned around and left here.

Wang Maoru said: "Second son." ”

"What?"

"The second son reminds me of a person."

"Who?"

"The ancient Greek scholar Aristotle," said Wang Maoru, "once said, I love my teacher, I love the truth even more." ”

Yuan Kewen smiled slightly, drifted away, Wang Maoru also sighed in his heart, although these two sons are full of style, but they have their own thoughts, and now how many people have their own thoughts and personalities? It's more like the crowd and exaggerated in the world.

Wang Maoru waited for a while, and the eldest prince Yuan Keding finally came back, seeing him sitting leisurely on a chair drinking tea and reading the newspaper, and said with a smile: "Xiusheng, you are more comfortable at my house than I am at my house." ”

Wang Maoru got up and said with a smile: "How dare the villain, it's just that there are many places, and only in the eldest prince can I relax and rest for a while." ”

"Hahaha, how about looking for me today?"

"Yesterday, a Japanese person came to me, and for some reason, I refused, and my subordinates were worried that these Japanese would not be good for me." Wang Maoru said.

Yuan Keding laughed and said: "Then the Japanese have found me again, let me introduce you to you, these wolf ambitious guys always have the idea of fighting Eastern Mongolia." Xiusheng, you have to be careful to stay away from them. ”

"In accordance with the teachings of the eldest prince, my subordinates have come this time to thank the prince for allocating artillery to his subordinates."

"Haha, this is a coincidence, who do you guess this cannon is for?" Yuan Keding said.

"My subordinates don't know."

"Guess what."

Wang Maoru thought about it, these ten artillery pieces were transferred, it was not a trivial matter, maybe it was a big warlord, Yuan Keding's unintentional move, although it increased Wang Maoru's firepower, but it brought him trouble.

"The subordinates guessed, it is estimated that Xu Shuzheng, the former chief, bought it, right?"

Yuan Keding slapped his thigh and said, "Yes, it's Xu Shuzheng, he bought it for the Fifth Division of Jin Yunpeng, the overseer of Shandong, and is ready to expand the Fifth Division." I stopped you," Yuan Keding said: "You don't have to worry about it, just take it." ”

Wang Maoru was in a cold sweat in his heart, didn't this offend Jin Yunpeng and other Anhui warlords, and said: "My subordinates will definitely ascend the throne for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the future, and they will die with all their might." ”

Yuan Keding laughed and said: "What is the death, you have to live, live well." By the way, the War Department's opinions on your departure this time have come down, and some old people are ready to sanction you, but now the War Department is Zhou Ziqi, his own family, and my father thinks that you have done this with courage, so he will not punish you. ”

"Thank you, Your Highness the Prince."

Yuan Keding waved his hand and said, "You're welcome, but you have to be ready, you may be transferred to Guannai next year." Wang Maoru was taken aback, and hurriedly asked why, Yuan Keding said: "I told you privately that there will be a big event next year, and I will transfer you into the customs to defend the imperial city." ”

Wang Maoru whispered in astonishment: "Could it be that Chief Duan wants to be unfavorable to His Majesty?" ”

Yuan Keding shook his head and said: "It's not, but it's hard to say, you don't have to be afraid, most likely you were transferred back just in case." ”

Wang Maoru was busy and honestly worried, and said: "The subordinates are too worried about the safety of His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Prince, Your Highness can rest assured, your subordinates will be ready next year." ”

Yuan Keding nodded his head and praised: "Haha, okay, you have a heart." ”

Leaving Yuan's mansion, Wang Maoru returned to the hotel and drank a few glasses of water in a row, recalling that Yuan Shikai would be crowned emperor next year. Yuan Keding wanted to transfer himself to Beijing, although he took a fancy to himself, but he also wanted to seize military power with a glass of wine, so that this army could be in his hands, so as to prevent anyone from committing rebellion. I thought that this capital was really deep, and if I stayed here, I guess I wouldn't know how I would die in the future. Yuan Shikai is now preparing for the title of emperor, and even now Beijing is not allowed to boycott Japanese goods openly, for fear that the march will be used.

After resting for a while, the adjutant reminded himself that he had an appointment with Xiao Fengxian tonight, so he tidied up his clothes and came to Yunjiban in his military uniform. However, he only saw Xiao Fengxian alone, Xiao Fengxian looked at him with a puzzled face, and said, "It turns out that General Wang supports the imperial system." Wang Maoru didn't know what to say, and from the bottom of his heart, he didn't support the imperial system, but in terms of skill, he had to support the imperial system.

Xiao Fengxian said: "This morning, a few other sisters also came to me and said that I should participate in the parade, and our sisters from the eight major alleys formed a petition group to ask the president to ascend the throne. You say it's funny or not, if we are in charge of state affairs, then the world will be chaotic. In and out of the words, there is a disdain for the symmetrical emperor.

Wang Maoru smiled and said, "This must be Yang Du's idea, he, sometimes too smart, but ...... Alas. ”

"General Cai said that he was not feeling well, so he could not be invited, please forgive the general." Little Phoenix Fairy Road.

Wang Maoru smiled, stood up, put down the gift money, and turned to leave, Cai Ye disdained to be involved with himself, the "emperor". He was very depressed in his heart, if he didn't take refuge in Yuan Shikai, he would finish the game and take refuge in Yuan Shikai, those of you who stood on the righteousness had to make irresponsible remarks, and they were very depressed.

The next day, Niu Delu went home to visit, Zhao Jiacheng also went home to visit his wife, Tang Baoqi is now negotiating with the Russians in Kyakhta, so he took the adjutant Ren Yuanxing and the guards four Chai Shirong and Qiao Sanbang, Luo Xing, and Ma Chengzi to Huaxing Group to have a look.

Under the management of Ma Xiaoshui and Cui Zhou, Huaxing Group has become more and more improving, and the group now has 16 factories and 12 company trading banks, involving all aspects of clothing, food, housing and transportation. Only then did Wang Maoru realize that he had so much money, and the largest car dealership in Beijing was also owned by him. He can earn 100,000 yuan a month, Wang Maoru scratched his head, and said to his subordinates that we came by foreign car, and we still spent the money on ourselves. In the afternoon, I went to Baihui Lou again, and the current Baihui Lou Qian Xiuming was very enthusiastic when he saw that the landlord was back. However, Wang Maoru saw that there were few students in Baihui Building, and asked what was going on, Qian Xiuming said that students were on vacation recently, and it was about to celebrate the New Year, so there were few talents. After looking at the airport and Yanzimen, they were all dragonflies and water, but Li Beicang heard that Wang Maoru was in danger in Binjiang Mansion, so he had to let his second apprentice Jin Shanzhao follow to protect Wang Maoru and be a guard, Wang Maoru saw that he was serious, so he let Jin Shanzhao follow him.

In Beijing's winter, it gets dark fast, the wind is strong and it is very cold, Wang Maoru and others are dressed very thickly, and they don't feel anything, but they see many people shivering on the street, and some beggars are homeless and hugging each other to keep warm. Passing by a street corner, I saw a platform built with a few students in thick cotton clothes performing a play, so I asked the coachman to stop. Wang Maoru and others walked over and watched those students perform a self-written drama, and their faces were red from the cold.
