The head of the Li family, Liyuangong, has no problem with coughing. Li Xiuzhu knows this very well, because that is his own father, so when he saw his father's lower body coughing, he immediately understood what it meant. The feeling of anger rushed straight from his heart to the top of his head, and it was about to burst out in an instant.
I can't blame the heir of the Li family for his strong reaction. They are all seven members of the Federation. They are huge forces in the shadows that have been floating with the long river of history for countless years. What kind of identity is the head of the Li family? With a bowed posture, not to mention that Liyuan Palace is only facing a woman at this time, even if she is the wife of the Tai family.
But Li Xiuzhu was not an idiot like Lin Douhai after all. Seeing his father bow his head with his own eyes, he only clenched his fist lightly and took a few quick breaths. During this process, he kept his expression calm all the time. His anger and sourness had already been rampant, and he thought to himself, if he hadn't intervened in the presidential election, how could he have allowed his father to suffer this humiliation
Butler Jin on the side didn't seem to notice the little movements of the hands of the young master of the Li family. He looked at his nose and heart, and very politely invited him to go to the side hall to take a break. The conversation on the terrace belonged only to the heads of the two families. Li Xiuzhu's seniority is not enough to participate in this conversation.
The sun was shining brightly in the early morning, and the cold wind of late autumn was resisted by the four continuous peaks of Mochou Mountain. The warmth contained in the water of Mochou Lake rose along with the mist, which raised the temperature on the terrace a lot. The royal family at that time designated this back mountain as a royal garden, which naturally made sense.
Mrs. Tai poured a cup of milk tea for Liyuan Palace herself, and said with a smile, "Why did you irritate him before, now the children are so arrogant and ruthless, I'm afraid it will be bad."
At this time, the old man of Liyuan Palace seemed to have completely forgotten the previous cough and bowed, sitting calmly in the chair, and gently replied, "It's just too arrogant, so I always need to polish it up. Besides, every time I see my wife, I always ask Salute, this is a rule you can't forget."
"It's been so many years, who cares about those rules." Madam said with a smile, "There's no need to do this in front of your son."
After a few chats, we got to the point. The two principals of the Seven Great Families have already handed over their specific affairs to the next generation or their subordinates, and their daily life is really similar to that of an immortal. It’s just that the matter discussed today involves the entire Federation and must be Be cautious and direct.
"Medellin is awake." The head of the Li family smiled and looked at his wife and said, "The martyr who is famous in the annals of history doesn't seem to be a role that the old guy is willing to play."
"I've never known what your Excellency this congressman wants to play." Mrs. Tai raised the milk tea in the cup and took a sip.
The two remained silent. Only the morning breeze was blowing gently on the terrace, and a few layers of autumn clouds were faintly moving in the east sky, but it didn't look like it was about to rain.
When it comes to big figures like these two, there are a lot of things that don't need to be explained, such as why Mrs. Tai is willing to let Medellin go. The Medellin Congressman is involved in a lot of personnel in the federation. If he is really put on trial in court, not to mention that the interests of the Li family will suffer serious losses, just talking about the prestige of the old man among the federation people is the federal government and the seven. Things everyone needs to consider.
Today's federal society has become uneasy because of the recent series of major events, and the people's opposition has gradually emerged. If this fire does not go out, the situation of the Federation will be very dangerous.
"The poisonous fruit that George Carlin planted should still be carried by a relatively gentle person." Madam suddenly said softly, "Medellin is better than the Nanshui leader who only knows how to kill."
Li Yuangong smiled and said nothing.
The dissatisfaction in the federal society is like nutrients. Now most of these dissatisfied nutrients have been absorbed by Medellin MPs. If Medellin really dies, these nutrients will inevitably seek targets again, and may be re-invested in those in the mountains. hard people. At that time, to suppress the anti-government forces that grow like weeds, the federal government and these big figures who are closely related to the federal government do not know how much money and effort it will take.
The old federal system has always needed and even welcomed people like the Medellin Congressman. If it wasn't for this, how could those old and slippery Congressmen, who are watching everything in the shadows of the Seven Masters, allow Medellin to do this. An outsider with an anti-government military background participated in this political feast.
In the past ten years, the so-called non-violent advocates, the so-called legendary politicians, and the Medellin Congressman are just a symbol of what the federation needs, or a little white rabbit that many forces have raised consciously or unintentionally. Little White Rabbit recently discovered that carrots are so delicious that he was reluctant to leave. This violated taboos. Even though the head of the Li family has praised the old fox's political wisdom countless times in his heart, he still thinks that he can only be a little white. Rabbit, they don't want to kill this little white rabbit, they just want him to be a little white rabbit again.
"What does he want?" asked the lady softly.
Liyuan Palace smiled and said a few conditions.
Mrs. Tai put down the Guna porcelain cup with milk tea, quietly looked at the milk tea in the cup, and placed her hands on the hem of her long skirt, her palms facing the sky, motionless.
The morning breeze on the terrace stopped, the clouds in the sky also stopped moving, and Mochou's back mountain was clear and bright.
After a long time, she raised her head and said calmly, "Okay."
"Thank you madam." Liyuan Palace said with a smile.
"Mr. President was very blunt on the matter of President Lin, which is a bit bad." Madam said with a smile: "In the afternoon, I will persuade him."
"Mrs. Hard work." Liyuan Palace bowed her head in greeting.
Mrs. Tai is also very satisfied with today's conversation. The unrest in the federal society has been eliminated, the line established in the past has continued, the presidential election has been successfully won, and more benefits have been obtained. What more demands are there? They don't care what she or he does, how it hurts some people, what an ugly page it writes in the history of the Commonwealth. Such people have never appeared in history, they have been trying to control history, make history, and modify history.
Mrs. Tai's hands that are often used for cooking are not very white and tender. She wiped it on her skirt casually, took a sip of milk tea, put her hands on the table with the back of her hands to the sky, and began to talk to the old man of Liyuan Palace. real gossip.
"Wherever you go, you always take that black chair with you. I've always been curious about what's so good about that chair."
"It's old, it's just nostalgia. Madam's chair here is comfortable, what is the old bone doing with it?"
"That chair will always be passed on. I really think the seventh child of the Li family is a good boy."
"Lao Qi performed very well this time, and his vision is accurate. Speaking of which, the little guy named Xu Le is really good."
"The little guy is ignorant, he's getting more angry, and when the fire goes out, I'll take him out to meet an old friend."
"According to some news, there seems to be a problem with the empire's finances."
"Really? The Federation's preparations must be quicker. Medellin seems to be really lucky."
At this moment, Mochou didn't have the wind and the rain fell on the mountain behind him. It turned out that the layers of thick autumn clouds in the sky had already drifted over, and the rain was falling, adding a little sadness to this autumn mountain and autumn lake.
A transparent glass baffle had already been automatically extended above the terrace, covering the entire terrace, and the rain hit the glass panel, which had no effect on the chatter of the two big men.
three days later.
Zhang Xiaomeng looked at the autumn scenery of the capital outside the window with a slight sadness. This continuous rain lasted for four days, and I don’t know when it will end. The hearing on Parliament Hill has already reached the fourth day. The cold and depressing autumn rain naturally cannot be stopped. The situation progressed, but from the third day of the hearing, she felt that the atmosphere was a little different.
Members of Parliament Hill kept silent at the beginning, but on the third day of the hearing, many members, including the Zion Member, began to throw tricky questions, obviously against her. The testimony showed a sense of distrust.
She is no longer the naive girl who didn't know anything, but was only passionate and idealistic. In front of those tricky and even rude questions, she behaved extremely decently, responded rationally, profitably and restrainedly, facing the federal government. There was no timidity or panic in the verbal attacks of the members.
Federal TV is still live. The performance of this anti-government army lady in parliament has won the appreciation of a considerable number of federal people. However, the sudden collective doubts of federal lawmakers have caused the people who were already in a state of shaking and panic. , once again began to wonder if this was a conspiracy, and once again began to sympathize with the Medellin MP.
Zhang Xiaomeng wrinkled her nose and looked out the window. Only when no one was there would she occasionally show her cute appearance back then.
Outside the window, the layers of autumn clouds were low, and the autumn rain was like beads. She vaguely felt that some big figures in the Federation who turned their hands into clouds and covered their hands into rain began to move, but these people didn’t know that after turning the clouds and covering the rain, they would eventually be A brilliant blue sky
At this moment, the food delivery truck was pushed in by a waitress, Zhang Xiaomeng was slightly startled, turned around, and put his right hand into his pocket.
Apart from having a dinner with the officials of the Ministry of Justice, various departments in the federal government are somewhat taboo to contact the delegation from Qinglong Mountain, so these days, meals are basically delivered to the door, but Zhang Xiaomeng is keenly aware of it. Something was wrong, the waitress seemed to be in a hurry.
"19771118", the waitress suddenly said a series of numbers, then quickly took off her clothes, and said in a low voice, "You are in danger, leave quickly."
Hearing the code number and this sentence, Zhang Xiaomeng's body trembled slightly, but she didn't have time to say anything, she took off her coat and started to exchange clothes with the waitress.
There is no monitoring equipment in the hotel room, which is a fact that has long been established, so she is not very worried about being discovered by the officials of the Ministry of Justice, but she is very heavy and does not know what went wrong.
