?Character extra: It¡¯s too cold to be in high places
It¡¯s twenty-eight years old, the sun is shining brightly, and the breeze is blowing.
As the Spring Festival approaches, the festive atmosphere in China is getting stronger and stronger. The news continues to broadcast celebrations in various places, linking the joy of the people across the country. Returning is like an arrow. Riding alone for thousands of miles, if one side gets lost, there is help from all sides. News about the epidemic continues to appear in the newspapers. As people everywhere welcome the Spring Festival with the best attitude, the streets and alleys of Beijing are also decorated with lights.
Not only are mascots and flower baskets placed in Bauhinia City Square, but red lanterns are hung early in the Ten Mile Long Street. New Year songs are constantly played in major squares. Occasionally, you can hear explosions in the distance, and pedestrians or vehicles coming and going. Compared with the past, there is less violence and more tolerance and courtesy. Everything is orderly and peaceful.
People came and went in Zhao's mansion, and countless dignitaries came to visit.
When Zhao Heng told Zhao Dingtian his decision, Zhao Dingtian began to semi-retire at home on the grounds of physical health. He always kept his promises, and when Zhao Heng gave the answer, he gave him absolute respect. However, although he put down his power, all People can still feel that his huge figure is affecting China like dark clouds in the sky.
History is destined not to forget this old man who devoted his whole life to China but did not love power. After Zhao Dingtian resigned from all his actual duties, basically all the government affairs of China were handled by Zhao Heng. Although Zhao Heng was only twenty-two years old, he was very proud. He has a strong team with a strong record and is ruthless in killing people, so no one dares to challenge him.
Especially with the compromises in Tibetan areas, Xinjiang areas, Miao areas and other places, Zhao Heng became more sacred and majestic in the hearts of everyone. The Living Buddha, the Miao King and the Eight Great Masters were all stubborn forces left over from history. They openly changed their banners and accepted them. The leaders of the Chinese state, but in the past hundred years, they have always supported their own troops. They have always only received financial support from Zhongyang, but never paid taxes to Zhongyang.
Now, all three places have surrendered to the capital and are willing to pay taxes to the capital every year. Although the money and food paid by these three places are very small, everyone knows that the relationship between the two parties has fundamentally changed. At this moment, Zhongyang can be regarded as completely ending the legacy of the four major families. In a mess, entering an era with only one voice in the capital, Zhao Heng's status and prestige also rose.
The Millennium Butcher began to be shrouded in a halo of praise.
Although the presidential election will not be finalized until April next year, and there are still six or seven people on the shortlist who have received enough votes, everyone knows that Zhao Heng, who decided to run for the election, must be the next president of China. In addition to Zhao Heng's sufficient merits to support him, In addition, the power in his hands kills all parties in an instant, so no one is stupid enough to actually compete with Zhao Heng for the president.
Appearing on the presidential list with Zhao Heng was just to accompany the prince to study. The candidates could see this, and the others naturally knew that Zhao Heng would dominate the world, so they all came to visit during the traditional festival of the Spring Festival. At this moment, Daikin Yi and the others were seeing off guests at the door. Looking at the cars slowly driving away, he exhaled a long breath:
"Finally another batch has been sent away!"
Da Jinyi rubbed his painful head, and then asked a member of the Zhao family: "Where did Zhao Heng go?"
Members of the Zhao family hurriedly responded in low voices: "Young Master Heng was sunbathing in the back garden. He said that you are responsible for everything!"
Hearing these words from the members of the Zhao family, Da Jinyi, who straightened his body slightly, shook his head: "This boy, he avoids us every time we have to socialize, leaving us to make excuses with others. You know, the powerful people from all sides are all He is the one who came here to meet me!" He sighed with hatred: "I'm almost going to be the president, but I still don't have any sense of proportion."
After the words fell, a Zhao family guard came from the front, holding a few posts and said to Da Jinyi: "The Zhu family of Shandong, the Wang family of Hebei, and the Bo family of Sichuan, the first heirs are here to visit!" He also pointed to the back. Added: "They also brought three cars of gifts. The cars cannot enter the alley. They are having people unload them and prepare to deliver them here."
"Zhu family? Wang family? Bo family?"
Da Jinyi's head ached again. He frowned and scanned the posts. He wanted to say no but was suppressed by the signature. These are the descendants of the founding fathers. No matter how beautiful and powerful the Zhao family is, they still need to give them some face. , otherwise it is easy to fall into the trap of abandoning meritorious deeds, and immediately waved his hand and said: "People come in, but etiquette does not come in!"
He sighed: "I'm going to find Mr. Heng!" He knew very well who the other party was meeting.
When the members of the Zhao family nodded and went out to make arrangements, Zhao Heng was lazily leaning against the pool in the back garden. He placed his right hand gently on Ye Shishi's protruding abdomen, feeling the occasional beating of the little life. Ye Shishi looked at it with soft eyes. Looking at the man she loves, she picked up a grape with her fingers and put it into Zhao Heng's mouth: "There is still more than a month, then you can see your son!"
Zhao Heng smiled: "Tell me, will he be more like me or more like you?"
Ye Shishi smiled charmingly, looked down at his belly and said, "It must be like you. This is a boy. If he is more like me, wouldn't he look very demonic? Thinking that his son talks like a woman, how can he still From time to time, when he wears floral trousers and raises his orchid finger, I have the urge to beat him to death. In my eyes, a man must stand upright!"
The image of He Zihua¡¯s nephew came to Zhao Heng¡¯s mind: ¡°Don¡¯t worry, he will never be allowed to take the route of being a little fresh meat!¡±
Teacher Ye did not dwell on this topic anymore and turned his head to glance at the door: "Listen to the noise outside, I'm afraid there are a lot of guests here today!"
In order to rest her body better and to prevent Zhao Dingtian from being too lonely, Master Ye moved from Hengmen to the Zhao family's mansion. At this time, she lost her former shrewdness and sharpness and showed more of a tenderness: "You should go out What's the use of helping my daughter to help greet the guests and staying with me? Besides, the purpose of the guests' visit is to meet you."
"It would be inappropriate if you didn't show up!"
Zhao Heng seemed to have expected this topic, and responded softly with a smile: "There is nothing wrong. Of course I know they are here to see me, and I also know that I can't make people feel that they are putting on airs, let alone not being ignorant of the world, lest they criticize or accuse them privately. , but I¡¯m really not in the mood to see guests these days, so I¡¯ve been busy outside, I just want to stay quietly for a few days!¡±
This time when he went out to attend the wedding of his third son, Zhao Heng felt more tired than fighting. Coupled with the exhaustion of pacifying the four parties, when he returned to the capital, Zhao Heng subconsciously wanted to be quiet for a few days.
He grabbed Ye Shishi's hand and kissed it softly: "Don't worry, guests who are worthy of friendship and understanding should be able to understand me. I don't care about customers who are petty and carefree, let alone take them in my eyes, so Don¡¯t worry about causing any trouble to save face, besides, with Da Jinyi and the others to deal with it, the guests won¡¯t be disappointed!¡±
Teacher Ye smiled helplessly, and then changed the topic: "Is Qingguan okay?"
Zhao Heng exhaled a long breath, narrowed his eyes slightly and responded: "It's okay. Bai Gou Sheng rushed back from the Miao border to detoxify him. He will be back to his original state after three to five months of rest. It's just a pity that the wedding could not be held. I can't say goodbye to him." The world is broadcasting this marriage live, but fortunately He Keren is a good person. Not only does he not complain at all, but he also serves Song Qingguan with all his heart!"
Zhao Heng stood up and went to the stone table next to him and poured a glass of water for Master Ye: "After Song Qingguan passed this life and death test, he instantly figured out what he wanted and dissipated the shadow left by Karen Lee. It was a blessing in disguise. I let him The third child is temporarily staying at He's house for recuperation, which can not only help Mrs. He dispel her suspicion, but also resolve the grudge between Xiaoxiao and Keren!"
Master Ye smiled sweetly: "You are really thoughtful!"
Zhao Heng handed the cup to Master Ye, with a look of helplessness on his face: "My brothers must always be taken good care of. If Song Qingguan hadn't been in need of recuperation, I would have arranged the marriage between Han Jian and the Princess of Dubai. Now that something like this has happened, I probably won¡¯t be able to propose marriage until after the new year, but it¡¯s okay, it can give me some breathing time!¡±
"Otherwise I will probably be exhausted to death!"
Master Ye held the cup and laughed: "There is no way, those who can work hard, not to mention that now you are the axis of China. You have to run for president and deal with state affairs at the same time. In your free time, you have to worry about your brothers and sisters. You It would be unreasonable to be too busy!" Then she changed the subject: "Has Han Jian decided to marry the princess of Dubai?"
Zhao Heng nodded: "It's decided!" He told Han Jian's thoughts: "After Han Jian saw the love-hate relationship between Bai Goucheng and Lin Lingxin in Miaojiang, he told me that only now do we know that the two people are in love. Being able to be together is such a happy and lucky thing. No matter whether he and the princess will be separated in the future, he must cherish the days when he can be together!"
¡°This way there will be no regrets!¡±
Ye Shishi's drinking movement paused slightly, and then the corner of his mouth curled up: "Han Jian can say these words to you, it seems that he has really realized the true meaning of love!" Then he smiled bitterly: "I will just talk to Le Jing from now on. The meeting was a little more embarrassing, this thing is really bloody, the two broke up, Le Jing found a prince in Dubai, and Han Jian fell in love with the princess!"
"As long as the princess's sincerity remains unchanged, the two of them will grow old together."
Zhao Heng took the topic lightly: "As for Le Jing, as a friend, I can only wish her happiness!" He did not tell Ye Shishi about the accident. Prince Habusi, whom Le Jing liked, was none other than Fabema's. A crazy admirer, when he knew that Fabema was going to marry Han Jian and was unable to reverse the situation, he resorted to drinking to drown his sorrows and used Le Jing as a punching bag.
Le Jing has been suffering a lot these days. It can be said that she thinks about heaven and hell.
Ye ?The teacher did not hear the meaning in Zhao Heng's words, and his thoughts were more focused on Bai Goucheng: "Ximen Qing, Song Qingguan, and Han Jian have found their destinations one by one. Happiness and sweetness are permeating the entire Hengmen, but the happier the brothers are. , will there be more pressure on Bai Gou Sheng? I used to think that Bai Gou Sheng was the coolest, but now that I think about it more, I realize that he is the most miserable person."
Zhao Heng's eyes dimmed a bit, and his face became a little helpless: "God's will plays tricks on people, if possible, I really hope Lin Lingxin and Bai Goucheng never know each other!"
Although Bai Gou Sheng and Lin Ling shared weal and woe, and the two went through the test of life and death together, Bai Gou Sheng also decided to let Lin Ling Xin recuperate at Baihua Gate and accept this relationship calmly. However, Zhao Heng thought of the inhumane injury and felt sorry for Bai Gou Sheng. He was left with endless regrets. He didn't know what would happen to the two of them in the end, but he knew that it would be a hurdle.
Maybe Lin Lingxin can accept it now, but what about one year from now, three years from now, or ten years from now?
"Miao Jiang should be fine, right?"
Seeing Zhao Heng entangled in the love between Bai Gou Sheng and Lin Ling Xin, Ye Shishi twitched the corner of his mouth and hurriedly changed the subject. Zhao Heng knew what his beloved woman meant, so he sighed and took over the topic: "It's okay, King Miao who longs for peace. I have cleaned up the house myself, stabilized the entire turbulent situation, guaranteed to live in peace with Hengmen, and I am also willing to pay taxes every year!"
¡°It¡¯s just that he hopes that the authorities will reduce their hostility towards the Miao people!¡±
Zhao Heng smiled faintly: "I asked Bai Goucheng to sign an agreement with him on behalf of Hengmen. The garrison will be moved ten kilometers back. Baihuamen and Miao Wangzhai will coexist peacefully. They will jointly handle the affairs of all ethnic groups in the Miao territory and clear out those who harbor hundreds of thousands of mountains. At the same time, both parties are working together to provide people and funds to build schools and hospitals to solve the cognitive and medical problems of the Miao and other ethnic groups!"
Ye Shishi's smile became even brighter and his voice spoke softly: "This result is much better than I imagined. I thought you would uproot the Miao King's Village and kill it, and then import the population and culture to maintain the situation. Stable, although it is a once and for all solution, it always feels too cruel and bloody. I like the current situation very much!"
Zhao Heng did not hide his thoughts: "I really want to kill someone who is bleeding like a river. Although the Miao King saved Lin Lingxin and Song Qingguan, the thread is ultimately the fault of the Miao people. I used the topic to make use of it. No one can say that I am not. In the end, The important thing is that most of the Miao people are good at poisoning, so if they continue to live in the Miao border, I always feel that sleeping is not very peaceful!"
Even Zhou Wuzi was afraid that a hundred dogs would leave poison, so how could Zhao Heng not be worried about the Miao people playing tricks? If we don't take action to eradicate these extraordinary people, they are likely to die silently in the future: "It was just Bai Gou Sheng who told King Miao that he was old and longed for peace. He also taught him everything he knew and guaranteed that the Miao people No longer addicted to drugs, he hopes to allow King Miao to spend his remaining years in peace!"
"I can ignore King Miao's guarantee, but I can't help but save face for Bai Gou."
Having said this, Zhao Heng also cast his gaze on Ye Shishi's abdomen, and his eyes softened invisibly: "Besides, I'm going to be a father soon, so my hands can't be stained with too much blood, so it's within a controllable range." , If you can be tolerant, be tolerant." He even stepped forward and brushed Master Ye's hair: "I don't want the little guy to point at my nose and call me the Millennium Butcher!"
Master Ye kissed Zhao Heng on the lips: "No, he will love you just like me, no matter you are a devil or an angel!"
Zhao Heng pinched the woman¡¯s delicate chin: ¡°Thank you¡ª¡ª¡±
When Zhao Heng felt a hint of gratitude towards the woman, Da Jinyi hurriedly appeared and smiled bitterly when he saw the sweet couple: "I am happy that you two are so close to each other, but you know that I am very busy in front!" He smiled slightly at Zhao Heng. He tilted his head: "Zhao Heng, the nephews and nephews of the Zhu family, Wang family, and Bo family are here to visit. Descendants of meritorious deeds, you must show some respect no matter what."
¡°And they all bring the attitude of the elderly at home and fully support your participation in the presidential campaign!¡±
Zhao Heng frowned slightly when he heard this, obviously resisting to entertain the guests: "Do you have to let me go? You can just do it!" When Da Jinyi shook his head, Zhao Heng changed the topic again: "Or take them there. When I meet the old man, I can talk to them relatively well. I rarely interact with these people, and I don¡¯t know what to say when I meet them.¡±
"Of course they will pay a visit to the old man!"
Da Jinyi patiently explained to Zhao Heng: "It's just that the old man has retired and will no longer interfere with the political affairs of China. When these elders and sons come over, do you think they will just pay a visit to the old man who has no power in their hands? Why do they want to meet with you?" They want to see you, spy on your attitude and actions, and at the same time get some future promises from you so that they won¡¯t be resentful.¡±
Master Ye shook Zhao Heng¡¯s hand: ¡°Young Master Heng, let¡¯s go meet the guests!¡±
When a hint of helplessness flashed across Zhao Heng's face, Da Jinyi glanced at Master Ye and said: "Nan Nianfo will also come over this afternoon. He wants to disperse the old team of the Nan Department and advance"??More positions are given to talents from all walks of life. Like Xi Shao, break the shackles of factions and integrate into the big family of China. I met in the afternoon. You need to comfort and win over! "
"Although it is his own wish to disperse power, if you fail to do it well, it can easily be misunderstood!"
As Zhao Heng's power and popularity continued to expand, the Southern Clan gradually found itself in an awkward position. Although Zhao Heng had never thought of weakening Nan Nianfo's power, and even called Nan Nianfo his brothers in public, all parties involved in Tibet City After the war, the Nan clique was not taken seriously, and Nan Nianfo was not regarded as a police minister on an equal footing with Zhao Hengping.
Regardless of the major departments or the police, many incidents directly skip the minister and committee member Nan Nianfo. The top leaders at all levels use Zhao Heng's opinions as their policy. As time goes by, Nan Nianfo is almost equal to a puppet. Nan Nianfo He is also a smart person, knowing that the Southern Department will easily become an alien if things go on like this, so he took the initiative to disband the Southern Department team.
He no longer unites the members of the Southern Clan to advance and retreat together. On the contrary, he gives many important positions to capable young people from poor families, diluting the power and concentration of the Southern Clan by himself, making the word "Southern Clan" gradually become a historical term. After eliminating the imprints of the four major families, he knew that Zhao Heng would not deal with him, but the general environment no longer allowed the Southern clan to fight against each other.
You know, even Ximen Qing opened the door to West China and allowed others to invest and engage in politics. The senior officials in the West China garrison no longer all have the surname Xi. Even the most self-proclaimed West China has begun to hand over power. If the Southern clique clings to its ancestral heritage, I'm afraid He was quickly squeezed out by others, so Nan Nianfo was very decisive in weakening the southern faction's influence, and changed from being an equal to being subordinate to everyone.
Da Jinyi also added: "He also hopes that you will go to the police department for inspection after the year!"
Hearing Da Jinyi¡¯s words, Zhao Heng sighed, stood up and walked to the front yard.
It was too cold up there, and he began to feel a little lonely.
