The president sent someone to greet him.
What an honor it was.
No wonder Zhao Jiayong blocked the platform and formed a guard of honor with great fanfare.
Thinking that he had become the commander-in-chief, it also added a lot of glory to the faces of these buddies in Beijing.
On weekdays, he also No less bragging.
I remembered that when I first came to Beijing five years ago, I got off the train at Zhengyangmen Railway Station.
At that time, I was still an ignorant little bandit from Guandong, wearing an old sheepskin coat and carrying a sharp knife, and he observed the locomotive for a long time.
Now he is a commander-in-chief, with dozens of followers.
The past is like yesterday, and he is very sad.
The light blue slender figure seems to appear in front of his eyes.
Seeing Chen Zikun in a daze, the attaché thought he was moved by the President's invitation.
He smiled slightly and said, "The President is waiting.
Marshal Chen, please come."
"Please."
Chen Zikun made an inviting gesture, Ma Bian put a scarlet-lined cloak on his shoulders, and walked out of the train station.
Hundreds of passengers were stopped by the station police, waiting for this majestic man.
The handsome commander was released only after he left the station.
After leaving the station, the military attaché looked at the dozens of guards behind Chen Zikun and felt a little confused: "You cannot bring troops to meet the president."
Chen Zikun sent the guards back to his residence in Dongwenchang Hutong first, took only one adjutant with him, got into the car of the Presidential Palace, and went straight to Xinhua Palace.
Xinhua Palace is Zhongnanhai.
It was the royal garden of the Qing Dynasty in the past.
The President summoned Chen Zikun, the Jiangdong Military Supervisor, at Ziguang Pavilion.
Cao Kun was wearing a black satin mandarin jacket, with a shiny bald head and a neatly trimmed mustache.
Chen Zikun saluted and spoke loudly.
Said: "Chen Zikun, the Military Superintendent of Jiangdong Province, met with the President."
Cao Kun laughed loudly: "Sure enough, I am directly connected to Qianliju.
Yes, yes.
Sit down and watch tea."
Chen Zikun sat down with a golden sword and said politely: "After the old commander took office as the president, he looks better and better."
Cao Kun said: "It's not because of the help of you juniors that I, the president, can sit more securely.
Zi Kun, tell me how you captured Jiangdong Province.
I really want to hear it."
So Chen Zikun explained how he attracted the main force of the provincial army, how he attacked the provincial capital with surprise troops, how he stabilized the situation, and how he incorporated Duan Haixiang's troops.
Cao Kun couldn't help but nod his head and praised: "The troops are marching in danger, that is, You, Chen Kunwu, have the courage.”
"The President is ridiculously complimentary.
I only learned a few things from Yu Shuai."
Chen Zikun was quite modest.
Cao Kun waved his hand: "Ziyu and I are both old, and we will have to rely on you young people in the future.
I think you are much better than the sixth son of the Zhang Yuting family.
I heard that you two are brothers."
Chen Zikun said: "Han Qing and I are indeed close friends for eight years, and that was in the ninth year of the Republic of China."
Cao Kun said: "So Xiao Liuzi has a keen eye for recognizing heroes, and he still has some skills.
However, brothers are brothers, and they have to fight when they go to the battlefield.
Zhang Zuolin and I are still sons and daughters, and we haven't started a war yet."
Chen Zikun said: "What the president said is that humble positions should be clearly divided."

Cao Kun said: "I called you here this time just to deal with Zhang Zuolin and his son, our own family.
I won't hide it from you.
Ziyu fought very hard in Shanhaiguan.
Fengjun has not been idle in the past two years.
He bought machine guns, cannons and armored vehicles."
He also recruited many foreign students who graduated from military schools as officers, and his combat effectiveness improved a lot.
The battle lasted for a month, and nearly 10,000 people died. " Chen Zikun was solemn, the casualties of 10,000 people were indeed too great.
During the last war between Anhui and Anhui, even though the fighting was so fierce, only a hundred people died in total.
Now the war is really different from the past.
Cao Kun said: "That's why I thought of you.
Among the direct generals, you are the best at making surprise attacks.
Ziyu and I have discussed it and want you to lead an elite brigade to attack Huludao behind Fengjun by boat and copy Zhang Zuolin.
Do you think it’s feasible?”
Chen Zikun said without hesitation: "Of course the method discussed by the President and Yu Shuai will work."
Cao Kun laughed loudly: "That's it, it's getting late, let's stay for dinner."
Chen Zikun declined: "I won't bother you anymore."
Cao Kun was quite surprised that someone actually declined the banquet given by the President, so he said: "Are you tired of traveling and traveling?
It doesn't matter.
We have a bathhouse here.
I will ask Li Yanqing to beat it for you to keep it to relax your muscles and activate your blood circulation."
Chen Zikun said: "How dare you trouble Mr.
Li?
He is in a humble position and is in a hurry to go home because my wife is pregnant."
Cao Kun said: "Then we should celebrate even more.
Which family does your wife belong to?"
Chen Zikun said: "My father-in-law, who holds a humble position, is Yao Qizhen, the vice president of Bank of Communications."
Cao Kun nodded: "It's him.
I remember.
Let's do this.
I'll make a call and ask your wife to come over to have dinner with you.
We can also meet your family members by the way.
We should move around more in the future."
Chen Zikun had no choice but to agree.
Her husband finally returned to Beijing, but he didn't go home first.
Yao Yilei was so angry that she was losing her temper when suddenly the phone rang.
She picked up the receiver and said slowly with a Baoding accent: "Is this Mr.
Yao Qizhen's house?"
"My daddy is not here."
Yao Yilei said angrily.
Just as she was about to put down the phone, she said in a Baoding accent: "Is it Mrs.
Chen?"
"Who are you?"
Yao Yilei was still angry.
"Haha, I am Cao Kun."
"What Cao Kun, I don't know you."

Yao Yilei hung up the phone.
Mrs.
Yao came over with fruits: "Leilei is angry again.
Did Xiao Chen call and say that he won't be at home for dinner tonight?"
Yao Yilei said: "He is a heartless person who didn't call home.
He is a messed up person named Cao Kun."
"What, Cao Kun?"
Mrs.
Yao was so shocked that the fruit plate fell to the ground.
There are several people named Cao Kun in Beijing.
They are His Excellency the President.
Yao Yilei also came to her senses.
She was so confused that she even forgot that the president's name was Cao Kun and he was from Baoding.
The phone rang again, and Yao Yilei didn't dare to answer it.
Mrs.
Yao forced herself to calm down and picked up the receiver: "Hello, Yao Mansion."
A polite baritone voice came over: "This is the Attendant's Office of the Presidential Palace.
The President invited Mrs.
Chen and Mrs.
Yao to a banquet."
Mrs.
Yao hummed and chatted on the phone for a long time, her eyes were shining, and she finally put down the phone and said excitedly: "The president invited us two to have dinner at Xinhua Palace.
This is a great thing."
"What a good thing!"
Yao Qizhen entered the door and was taking off his suit jacket.
Mrs.
Yao said: "You are here at the right time.
Please help me with my advice.
The president is inviting me to dinner.
What clothes should I wear and what jewelry should I wear?"
Yao Qizhen was also stunned.
The president held a banquet for his wife.
The sun came out in the west.
He must know that he is a remnant of the old Anhui clan and is far away from the political center.
But when he thought about it, he realized that this was for the sake of his son-in-law.
Chen Zikun was already a A provincial supervising official, a frontier official, even if he is the president, he must win over him.
Without further ado, the Yao family immediately dressed up and prepared several exquisite gifts to bring to the President's wife.
After working for an hour, they finally got ready and set off in the car.
Although there is a war going on at Shanhaiguan, there is still a quiet and peaceful atmosphere in Beijing.
Camels walk leisurely around the roots of the Imperial City.
Carts carrying coal and water are parked on the street.
The sky is covered with red clouds.
The Forbidden City is majestic at night.
Towering, although the walls are mottled and peeling, the imperial style is still there.
The car was released after a brief inspection at the gate of Xinhua Palace.

The president did not invite Yao Qizhen, so only the mother and daughter came.
It was the first time for both of them to enter Zhongnanhai, and their eyesight was not enough.
After all, it was a royal garden, so it was not grand.
To say the least, especially those tall and tall attendants with neatly pressed military uniforms are simply a pleasure to look at.
The president gave a banquet, and everyone gathered together.
The atmosphere was so harmonious.
Finally, they met Chen Zikun.
The resentment in Yao Yilei's heart had long since disappeared.
She touched Chen Zikun's cheek when no one was paying attention and sighed: "You have become darker and thinner."
Chen Zikun touched Chen Zikun.
She touched Yao Yilei's belly and said, "How has the baby behaved lately?"
In fact, this banquet can only be regarded as a family banquet.
Cao Kun's wife and several concubines, as well as the wife of the Beijing garrison commander, were also present.
A group of women chatted about everything from Beijing's furs to Shanghai's fashions, giggling from time to time.
Sound, Mrs.
Yao has not been in the political and social circles for a long time.
Today she suddenly came to the inner circle of the First Lady.
She was so excited that she could not stop talking with joy.
Fortunately, she was also a discerning person, so she would not say the wrong thing to attract people. bother.
Mrs.
Cao liked Yao Yile very much and praised her for being gentle and virtuous.
Yao Yile shyly leaned her head on Chen Zikun's shoulder, but Cao Kun laughed loudly and said, "Zikun, your wife is soft on the outside but strong on the inside.
I don't know."
Do you, the tiger general, have to listen to my wife’s orders at home?”
Chen Zikun said with shame: "We respect each other, and no one must obey anyone else's rules."
A group of bejeweled ladies laughed and praised Chen Zikun as a new man who knew how to respect women and was much better than those old men who could only lead troops to fight.
"When it comes to respecting women, Feng Huanzhang is one of them.
He and the current lady are on the same page, which is a good story in Beijing."
Cao Kun said, stroking his mustache.
Chen Zikun said: "I don't know where the inspecting envoy Feng is now."
Cao Kun said: "To lead the troops to garrison Gubeikou and deal with Zhang Zuolin, he must be a fierce general."
After the banquet, it was customary to play eight rounds of mahjong.
The President is very addicted to cards, and the wives are also battle-hardened.
Mrs.
Yao was prepared and brought enough cash and checks.
However, Yao Yilei was pregnant and it was inconvenient.
After staying up late, he excused himself and left.
Cao Kun said: "Don't leave.
There are many empty rooms in Xinhua Palace with toilets and bathrooms.
You can stay wherever you like and let Xiao Chen play cards with me."
Chen Zikun looked troubled.
Cao Kun said with a smile: "You must be thinking about the little Chen in Madam's belly.
I think this child will definitely have more potential than you in the future.
We have added a strong general to our direct line.
I will write a message for this child."

The attendant observed the words and expressions, immediately spread out the rice paper, and served with pen and ink.
Cao Kun splashed the ink and wrote a hearty stroke of tiger.
The President was so enthusiastic that Chen Zikun and his wife had no choice but to stay.
Mrs.
Yao was eager to play cards with the wives of these high-ranking officials at Xinhua Palace, even if she lost thousands or tens of thousands of yuan.
As the night grew darker, outside Beijing's Anding Gate, a group of soldiers with white towels on their right arms came meandering over holding torches.
They exchanged code words with flashlights with the defenders on the city wall.
The closed city gate slowly opened, and outside the city The troops poured in like a tide
