    "Brother Zheng Zheng, it's not like you didn't know what I said, but where did I start talking about this!" Xia Yiting was sitting attentively, thinking about how soon the ministers from the four countries would reply to the conditions Wang Geng proposed last night.  Later, he was really shocked when he heard Xu Shuzheng say that the whole matter of pushing forward to join the war fell entirely on him.

    "Brother Tingzhai won a great victory last night in front of the ministers of the four countries and greatly enhanced the country's prestige. It's time to continue to work hard to promote the motion to join the war in Congress while the iron is hot!" Xu Shuzheng said with a slight smile.

    "Brother Zheng Zheng is right. Brother Tingzhai, you can even handle the ministers from the four countries, not to mention those guys from the congress! Besides, you have always been a general of the research department and a popular person in front of Chairman Tang. Now  Since you have the support of the Prime Minister and the Cabinet, it¡¯s best for you to persuade Congress!¡±

    Finance Minister Chen Jintao was wiping the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief while fanning the flames. At the State Council meeting just now, everyone could see that Xia Yiting and Wang Geng were wearing a pair of trousers. Maybe it was through Wang Geng that  Geng's bridge has completely built up the Prime Minister's inside track. It would be false to say that Chen Jintao is not happy, but so what, Wang Geng is now very popular in front of the Prime Minister and cannot be easily provoked.

    Although Chen Jintao is following the path of Lao Duan¡¯s ally brother Xu Shiying, both of them are unable to clean up their mess due to corruption, so they have to keep their tails closed and lead the way.

    "You Zheng, please tell me. Tingzhai has always supported the cabinet and supported participating in the war. If he could convince the Congress, he would have already convinced the Congress!" Duan Qirui said angrily. Wang Geng had already recruited Xia Yiting for him,  As the boss, he had to support the two of them, especially Xia Yiting, the backbone of the research department.

    "Didn't Xia Tingzhai negotiate new conditions with the great powers last night? He went to Speaker Tang with these new conditions. With the support of Tang Hualong, Speaker of the House of Representatives and the Research Department, the resolution to join the war may not be passed in the House of Representatives!" Xu Shuzheng  Said lightly.

    "Tingzhai, do you think that with the newly negotiated conditions, Tang Jiwu can convince the House of Representatives?" Seeing that Xu Shuzheng was serious and not joking, Duan Qirui turned to Xia Yiting doubtfully.

    "Prime Minister, you also know that on the issue of participating in the war, the speaker and the research department have always supported the cabinet and the prime minister's proposal to participate in the war. The problem is that the largest party in Congress is the Southern Party. They cannot be persuaded.  It¡¯s all in vain, these guys with their brains in trouble, as long as you support them, they will oppose it, it¡¯s completely unreasonable!¡±

    Xia Yiting smiled bitterly and spread her hands to tell the truth. Yesterday, she just made a statement in front of Wang Geng. Today, she went into Duan Qirui's study to participate in the secret. Xia Yiting felt excited and nervous at the same time, being put in such a position by Xu Shuzheng  Roasting on the fire, this guy really hopes that he dares to stand up and pat his chest and say that he can handle the Congress, but the problem is that he can't handle it!  There is nothing you can do if you are powerless!

    "Prime Minister, I think this matter has to be figured out in the Presidential Palace. I'm afraid it will be too difficult on the other side of the Congress!" Wang Geng helped Xia Yiting to clear the way.

    "How can you see that?" Before Duan Qirui nodded in agreement, Xu Shuzheng said dissatisfiedly to Wang Geng.

    "What's weird about this? You only need to get one person to get the Presidential Palace, and you need to get more than 800 members to get the Congress. Not to mention that the Southern Party accounts for almost half of them. How can you get it done in a hurry? It's better to take the blame.  Let the president dissolve Congress directly!" Wang Geng glanced back at Xu Shuzheng and said in the same understatement.

    Wang Geng and Xu Shuzheng are so awesome that Chen Jintao and Xia Yiting were listening with fear. This Wang Geng is almost in the same style as Xu Shuzheng, he is as bold as a bull and dares to say anything!

    "Ask the president to dissolve Congress? Do you really dare to think that if Li Yuanhong can be so obedient, why are we still worrying here?" Xu Shuzheng said angrily.  But there was something in my heart, and I felt that what Wang Geng said might not be a solution to the problem.

    "Well, Prime Minister, there is still a lot of official business backlogged in the ministry. You guys can discuss important matters. How about I go back first?" Chen Jintao obviously felt that it would be better for him to run away than to stay here. Otherwise, he might really do it again.  Put whatever errands you can't do on your own shoulders.

    As soon as Chen Jintao said this, Duan Qirui was angry and amused at the same time. When did the Chief Financial Officer become so conscientious? However, after looking at this guy's tone just now, it was clear that he wanted this guy to go to the Presidential Palace to carry out some cruel tricks and counterinvasion.  Ji is out of luck for the time being. As cowardly as he is, he will be told everything he said as soon as he passes by.

    The Prime Minister glanced at Chen Jintao, who was restless, and Xia Yiting, who looked uncomfortable next to him, and then at Wang Geng and Xu Shuzheng, who were each crossing their legs and not taking it seriously. He sighed inwardly, waved his hand and said  ,

    "Come on, let's go, remember to wipe your butt clean, don't think about money, money, money all day long! Regarding the tax collection of the Chongwenmen Tax Supervisor and the Beijing-Suiyuan Railway Bureau, please transfer it to Wang Geng's War Preparatory Office as soon as possible."?Procrastinate again!  "

    "Hey, don't worry. The things that Supervisor Wang is doing are my business. You told me, how dare I put off doing it!" Chen Jintao felt relieved and hurriedly agreed, while smiling, he stood up and bowed to everyone.  He handed over his hand and quickly left the study.

    "Chen Lansheng is jealous of money and hides when he sees difficulties. How can he be more promising? I think he, the chief financial officer, should stop doing this sooner or later!" Xu Shuzheng said with a snort.

    Xia Yiting's heart skipped a beat when he saw that the Prime Minister just had a sullen face and didn't take a breath. It was obvious that Xu Shuzheng was used to talking in a low tone in front of Lao Duan. It was no longer strange. This guy reminded himself in his heart that we are not Wang Geng. When facing Xu Shuzheng in the future,  Still have to be cautious.

    "Tingzhai, what do you think?" Duan Qirui ignored Wang Geng and Xu Shuzheng who were arguing with each other, softened his expression, and turned to ask Xia Yiting.

    "I agree with Supervisor Wang's opinion. It is much more difficult to win over the Congress than the President. The research department is to fully support the cabinet. We are also a minority in the Congress. Even if we can negotiate favorable terms for participating in the war with the great powers, we cannot impress those  Southern congressmen, they are simply opposing for the sake of opposing!¡±

    Although Xia Yiting did not intend to offend Xu Shuzheng, he did not want to stand on the same side as Wang Geng, who had rescued him, so he said honestly.

    "Well, you are right! This group of Southerners in Congress exist just to oppose me! They talk about etiquette and morals but only commit male thieves and female prostitutes. They are not leaders who are dedicated to serving the country at all!" Duan Qirui patted the armrest of the Grand Master's chair and said bitterly.  The way.

    "Don't worry, Prime Minister. With the full support of the Beiyang Governor's Army and the Cabinet, and the Premier's generous support from generals with both civil and military skills, such as Supervisor Wang and Deputy Chief Xu, we will be able to overcome this hurdle sooner or later!" Xia Yiting lost no time in confessing.  .

    "Well, Tingzhai, I have always been very optimistic about you. When Wu Tingfang was in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, I heard from Tang Hualong that you usually put in more effort. Although Wang Geng is young, he is the same as Youzheng back then. He dares to think and do things.  Lord, the three of you will stay closer together in the future and help me take care of the country¡¯s affairs!¡± As he spoke, the Prime Minister held up the tea cup in his hand.

    "Hey, Prime Minister, don't worry. I, Xia Yiting, sincerely support the Prime Minister's ideas. Although I am not as talented as Youzheng and Wang Geng, I will never refuse as long as I can do my best! If the Prime Minister has no other instructions, I will go back to the ministry.  ? According to time, the telegrams from the embassies of various countries abroad should also be returned one after another. Let's also see the reaction of the public opinion of various countries to the United States' participation in the war! "

    When Xia Yiting saw the Prime Minister bringing the tea cup, he knew that he had nothing to do in the study today, and that the rest was the business of Lao Duan and his two confidants Wang Geng and Xu Shuzheng, so he stood up and left with a smile.

    After Duan Qirui nodded, Xia Yiting nodded to Wang Geng and Xu Shuzheng and said hello, and then quickly exited the study.

    "Supervisor Wang, you are not very interesting. I sent you the invitation to the diplomatic reception at the Six Nations Hotel yesterday to Nanyuan. Why don't you come and invite me to attend the informal closed-door consultation among the five countries?  ?" Xu Shuzheng crossed his legs and looked at Wang Geng playfully.

    "Brother Youzheng, it's too late for you to help the Prime Minister worry about national affairs. How dare you deceive foreign devils about such a trivial matter." Wang Geng said with a smile.
