Zhong Xiaoai gave me a fourth child, and it has nothing to do with you, Hou Liangping.

Chapter 817 Zhong Zhenguo called out "Qi Bu", Qi Tongwei is about to make another step for

"Tongwei, it takes ten years to sharpen a sword. It took you more than ten years to join the army and then switch to politics!"

Zhong Zhenguo picked up a white piece and shook it.

"In the current situation, you and I are probably both the chess player, the chess piece holder, and the person pulling the strings!"

"Moreover, you need to enter the game yourself and become the chess player in order to break the situation."

"What do you say?"

When speaking.

He smiled deeply and placed the chess piece on the board.

Qi Tongwei exclaimed.

"Father-in-law, you have made a brilliant move with this chess piece. It has a sense of vertical and horizontal strategy!"

"Since you have already committed yourself to this, how can I just sit there and watch?"

While talking.

He also picked up a black chess piece, made an ingenious arrangement, and broke the game.

Zhong Zhenguo clapped his hands and praised him highly.

"Hey, good boy, it seems that I underestimated you. It turns out that you have already joined the game!"

"I always thought that you were outside the chess game."

"This move is superb and brilliant!"

"It's a pity that your father is in Handong. If he saw your chess skills, he would definitely play a game with you for three days and three nights!"

Qi Tongwei laughed heartily, "Oh, father-in-law, I've been so busy that I've never been able to play a game of chess with you like I am doing now!"

"My dad will see my... chess game!"

"Because I not only want to go one step further and reach a higher level, but I also want to be the best."

"Father-in-law, do you know who is the person I admire most?"

Zhong Zhenguo slowly raised his eyes and stared at Qi Tongwei, "Who?"

Qi Tongwei answered concisely.

"Zeng Guofan!"

Zhong Zhenguo said "Oh" and asked with interest.

"Tell me, why?"

Qi Tongwei said deeply.

"Father-in-law, you see, at that time, the Qing Dynasty was facing corruption and decline after the Kangxi and Qianlong prosperity..."

"Zeng Guofan believed that: 'The poverty of a country is not a big problem, but the demoralization of the people is a big problem.'"

"For 'the scholars and officials are used to worrying and living in peace', 'there is a kind of trend that is neither white nor black, neither painful nor itchy', and 'hates inferior bones'."

"He believed that 'the bad governance of officials is due to the corruption of officials, and seeking talented officials to eliminate corruption is truly a way to explore the source.'"

"Based on this, Zeng Guofan proposed that 'the key to administration is to get the right people'."

"In times of crisis, we need people with both moral integrity and ability, who should promote integrity and justice, practice benevolent governance based on courtesy, and oppose tyranny and disturbance of the people."

"Officials who take bribes and abuse their power to enrich themselves must be severely punished."

"This coincides with our advocacy of anti-corruption and integrity, right?"

"Moreover, in addition to his political achievements, Zeng Guofan also made great contributions to military and diplomacy, as well as his personal cultivation, from Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism to literature and calligraphy education!"

"It is no exaggeration to say that their achievements in all aspects are role models for us younger generations to learn from."

"Of course, there are also many controversies about his merits and demerits."

"But at least analyzing this person from some positive aspects is still far-reaching."

Hear the words.

Zhong Zhenguo nodded happily to show his approval.

"Not bad, not bad, you do have something in your stomach."

“No wonder he was called Professor Gao Yuliang’s favorite student and the most respected student at Handong University.”

Qi Tongwei laughed and said jokingly.

"Oh, father-in-law, I praise myself that I was young and energetic back then, but my talent is obvious to all."

"Otherwise, how could Xiao Ai be interested in a country bumpkin like me? How could I become your son-in-law?"

Zhong Zhenguo thought about it and said, "You are right and wrong."

"At that time, after Xiao Ai's mother and I knew that you two were together, Xiao Ai's belly got big."

"The rice has already been cooked. You are also acting without authorization, right?"

"Besides, you didn't recognize your parents at that time, so you are quite brave."

"I'm quite curious. Weren't you afraid that Xiao Ai's mother and I would object?"

Qi Tongwei pursed his lips and smiled innocently.

"I'm scared~"

"So, after I joined the army, I trained hard and risked my life to get all kinds of merits."

"My goal is to make achievements in the army. In this way, even if I don't rely on the power of my parents and my grandmother Zhao's family, I won't be broken by you and my mother-in-law!"

Zhong Zhenguo smiled with relief.

"In fact, when Xiao Ai was studying at Handong University, she would often come home and tell us about a senior named Qi Tongwei, who was so outstanding."

"At that time, her mother and I realized that this girl might have a crush on you."

"Sure enough, later on, she really hid it from us. She told us, even though she was pregnant, that you two were already together."

"And I'm pregnant with your child!"

"Well, the past is too hard to recall, but at least you truly love Xiao Ai, and Xiao Ai was right in choosing you!"

"This game of chess is a heart-to-heart exchange between us, the father-in-law and the son-in-law. It's really fun to play!"

"Of course. I hope you can set up an ingenious chess game like playing chess."

"Use chess to enter the official game!"

"I think you should have realized that now, once Jiang Yao and Lu Shouren are brought down, the two big tigers will be brought down, then someone will need to fill the vacancy in the ministry!"

"So, it's time for you to join the game, the high-end game!"

"Standing at the top of the official ladder, to practice that sentence..."

"Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a destiny for the living and the people, carry forward the unique teachings of the past saints, and create peace for all generations!"

"Qi Bu, what do you think?"

The words "Qi Bu" from Zhong Zhenguo's mouth made Qi Tongwei's blood boil and ignited his passionate fighting spirit.

He stood up, stood at attention in standard military posture, and saluted.

"Yes, father-in-law!"

"Ready at all the time!"

"I am a soldier. Once a soldier, always a soldier!"

"Whenever the motherland needs us, it is the duty of soldiers to obey orders!"

Zhong Zhenguo stood up and patted Qi Tongwei on the shoulder.

"Okay! Well done!"

"I hope that my call of 'Qi Bu' will not be far away!"

A short pause.

Zhong Zhenguo asked further.

"By the way, what do you think about Lu Shouren?"

"Before, I heard from your father that Lu Shouren went to Handong to meet your father!"

"He spoke earnestly, claiming that he wanted to join the Zhao family and submit to the Zhong family."

"He made it sound like he was going to clean up his act and turn over a new leaf."

A cold smile appeared on Qi Tongwei's lips.

"hehe!"

"I heard Dad mention it."

"But a man like Lu Shouren, what did he say, he surrendered?"

"Father-in-law, do you believe it?"

"Moreover, when I was interrogating Jiang Huai, he said that if we want to completely destroy the Fifth Kingdom, we must get the authority of the Fifth Kingdom..."

"Nine-dragon Jade 卐, a token similar to some kind of 'jade seal'!"

"Only in this way can we completely declare the disintegration and collapse of the Fifth Kingdom!"

"And this Nine Dragon Jade 嚴 is very likely in..."
