In the spring of 1909, Qiao Zhiqing had just held a seventy-one-year-old birthday banquet.The princes and grandsons of various countries came back to congratulate, and the liveliness and celebration in Zhongnan Palace lasted until the end of the birthday banquet.Hua Xingjun sent him the best birthday gift, and constantly sent good news from the front line.Qiao Zhiqing's eyes had begun to bloom a little, and his body was not as energetic as before.As soon as I get older, all the problems left by my youth come out at once.It's not back pain today, leg cramps tomorrow.He specially asked people to wear a pair of reading glasses, and he could barely read official documents for a while every day.Now his greatest wish is that God will give him a few more years of life, at least to bring down the United States.There is only such an opponent left in the world now, and if he doesn't take the United States, he won't be able to swallow this breath to death.The United States did not provoke him, but it made him panic.This country is like the old enemy of New China, and it is difficult to feel at ease if you don't get rid of it for a day.This year's new prime minister's election has come to an end, and Wei Ziyou is still elected.Since the beginning of the democratic election in New China, she has been re-elected for five consecutive terms, known as the "Iron Hat Prime Minister", but this year there are new faces in the cabinet, Qiao Zhiqing's nephew Qiao Yaoguang has been recently appointed as vice premier, and is ready to represent the Huaxing Party in the next election.In addition to the Huaxing Party, there is another emerging party that is in the limelight in Congress, and it is the Democratic Party, which has just completed 30 years of existence.This party represented the interests of the middle and lower classes, and its main supporters were the emerging bourgeoisie, trade unions and intellectuals.Advocates of cutting military spending, reducing wars, raising national welfare, and reducing tax rates are very influential among young people.The founder of this party is none other than Yan Fu, who is currently the Minister of Finance of the People's Republic of China.At the beginning, he was also a member of the Huaxing Party, but later because of the difference in ideas, he pulled out a group of people to create the Democratic Party.In the Democratic Party, there are also many talents.Song Jiaoren, who was recently elected the youngest mayor of New China with a high vote, belongs to the Democratic Party.Qiao Zhiqing is not worried about the choice of the next prime minister, and in one day, the position of prime minister will always be held by Huaxing party.His prestige is too great, and the people of New China are all Aiwu and Wu.As long as it is related to him, no matter who it is, they all support it.Yan Fu and Wei Ziyou have been campaigning for so many years, and every year has ended in a fiasco.He does have extraordinary abilities, even Qiao Zhiqing is optimistic about him, and he has given him a high value from the beginning.But every time Wei Ziyou ran for election, he moved Qiao Zhiqing out.Needless to say, the scene immediately boiled, and it was easy to win the votes of the provinces.Yan Fu could only laugh dryly and shout both Shengyu and He Shengliang every time, and he didn't expect to be the prime minister in his life.The main wish is to make the Democratic Party bigger and stronger, and strive to wait until Qiao Zhiqing dies before fighting a fair battle with the Huaxing Party.The high place is unbearable, and as a year passes, Qiao Zhiqing's old buddies are getting fewer and fewer, and they are about to run out.Last winter, even Wang Shumao almost didn't survive, and now he is lying weakly in the house to recuperate.Qiao Zhiqing was worried that this old guy would go suddenly, and when he usually wanted to drink, he didn't even have a confidant.Wang Shumao is ten years older than him, and he is 81 years old this year.In this era, eighty-one years old is already quite a long life.The main thing is that he practiced martial arts when he was young, and his body is so tough, and he has survived until now.The veterans of the founding of the country have really gone a lot over the years, first the generals of the Qing court uprising left one by one, and then it was the turn of the generals of the Taiping Army to surrender.Hong Renji, the godlord who had secretly harbored his antipathy and intended to revive the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, also passed away last year.However, he did not die in this life, and escaped death from the knife many times.Because of Qiao Zhiqing's appearance, his fate has changed greatly.Although he was later imprisoned in Qincheng Prison, he has been engaged in compiling history since he came out, and he can be regarded as enjoying his old age in peace, living to the age of eighty-six.After his death, he was still buried in the Babaoshan Martyrs Cemetery in the capital.As the founder of New China, Qiao Zhiqing did not punish him too much, but left all the due honor to him.There are only a handful of political enemies who have died in Qiao Zhiqing's hands, and since ancient times, no emperor has been as tolerant of his political enemies as he is.On the day of the birthday banquet, Qiao Zhiqing specially called all the old guys in the capital over and drank it.Including Wang Shumao and Gu Yunfei, they all dragged their old bodies to participate.These old guys cried as they drank and drank, and a trace of loneliness rose in everyone's hearts as they watched as there were fewer and fewer companions around them.The great world is withering, their time is over, and it seems that they are living to wait for the day of death.At the banquet, Wang Shumao drank too high, holding the wine pot and shouting that he had to fight a duel with the Manchu Tartars.Gu Yunfei also drank upside down, supported the eldest brother, and did not shout to accompany him.At the banquet, everyone else burst into laughter.Only Qiao Huaien, the king of Manchukuo, had a red face, and he really couldn't do anything about these two uncles.For so many years, he was most afraid of hearing the words of overthrowing the Manchu Tartars, and he has always promoted the concept of the Chinese nation in Manchuria, deliberately making the Manchus forget this history.After so many years of development, Manchukuo has long intermarried with Kwantung and Inner Mongolia, and now there are not only Manchus in the state.However, what the Manchus have done in history, but after all, they are all part of the Chinese nation.Now that the world has been unified, it is natural that national hatred can no longer be propagated.The key to the peaceful coexistence of the two nations and their common prosperity and progress is the key to this.Since he was a child, he hated being called a Manchu Tartar, and now he can't wait to be an ambassador for ethnic exchanges and spread the ideas of the Chinese nation.Qiao Zhiqing saw his son's embarrassment, and raised his glass to give him a gesture, which relieved him.It will take some time for these historical problems to be completely resolved.Qiao Zhiqing is not worried about this problem, and the main contradiction in the future is definitely not here.A month after Qiao Zhiqing's birthday banquet, the Wang family came with the news that Wang Shumao was going to be critically ill.Qiao Zhiqing hurriedly drove someone to the hospital, and when he saw this old guy lying on the bed, he regretted it for a while.Secret Dao shouldn't let him drink so much wine, otherwise he would definitely be able to live a little longer."
Your Majesty the Emperor, I'm sorry for you, and I'm going to let you come all the way" After Wang Shumao saw Qiao Zhiqing, the complexion on his face changed slightly better, and his cloudy eyes were a little more shiny."
Brother Wang, you have to hold on, if you leave, I will really be alone" Qiao Zhiqing grabbed his hand and encouraged him, and the two old men seemed to return to the meeting when they first met.Qiao Zhiqing is still a small businessman, and Wang Shumao is also a young owner of the dart game who has just entered the rivers and lakes.I didn't expect such a year to pass in a flash, and the years are really ruthless.No matter how talented you are, you can also resist the erosion of the years
