    Protecting the Burmese school captain's mansion.  The renovation project of this mansion did not stop during Chen Zaixing's trip to Bagan, and a large part of it was repaired.  After Zhao Guoquan came to Mandalay, he lived in a newly built mansion. There were not many people traveling with him. There were only six or seven scribes in the palace, and more than a hundred guards who were responsible for guarding. They lived in separate houses.  There are wing rooms on both sides of the yard and a yard next door.  He lives in seclusion on weekdays, not going anywhere and not knowing what he is doing.  In the hall, Zao Guoquan crossed his legs leisurely and sat on a chair sipping fragrant tea. Qu Duan knelt beside him and cried loudly: "That eldest princess is so domineering. Although I am just a humble official, I am still a big one after all."  Shun's envoy, she dared to dismiss the villain casually and drive him out of the army. This is not a slap on your face, sir. No, is it a slap on Dashun's face? Sir, you must do it?  You must be fair¡ª" "That's enough!" Zao Guoquan put the tea cup on the table aside: "Get up!" Qu Duan's crying stopped immediately, and he stood up and stood obediently.  Early state power aside.  Zao Guoquan stood up and walked around the room for a few steps. He suddenly stopped and said with a smile: "Chen Fusheng, Chen Fusheng! I didn't expect you had such a trick. Even the eldest princess of the feudal kingdom became a card in your hand."  , Okay! Okay! He is indeed Mr. Wu¡¯s favorite disciple!¡± ¡°Chen Fusheng?¡± Qu Duan was stunned when he heard this. He thought it was Chen Zaixing at first.  Ghost, but later when he saw the mutiny subsided under Luo Lin's comfort, he began to doubt his initial judgment. After all, Chen Zaixing did not get military power, and the scale of the mutiny was too large and involved too many aspects. It was not like  It was the other party's instigation.  "Hmph! Don't you know? Yesterday, a flat-bottomed steam gunboat from Bagan arrived at the pier. Now, apart from the British, there are only three steam gunboats on the river that were captured not long ago, all in Bagan. Do you think there are other steam gunboats besides that guy?  Who can use this ship?" At this time, Zao Guoquan's face was full of sneers: "I bet that this guy is probably next to the eldest princess now. Maybe he has just made up as the princess's attendant.  You are personally conducting the command in the crowd!" "Chen Fusheng! I am incompatible with you!" Hearing this, Qu Duan gritted his teeth, his eyes were bloodshot, and he almost squeezed out the words from his teeth.  "Don't worry, I want to see what he did for in the end?" Zao Guoquan was still calm and composed: "Anyway, he is also the second-ranked man. He was born as a bachelor of Hongwen Hall, and his future was not that good back then.  If you can say no, then don¡¯t do it. Is it possible that I have committed the same old habit again this time, that I don¡¯t love the country and the beauty, so I want to be the husband of the Burmese king?¡± Qu Duan said fiercely: ¡°Humph! As a minister of the imperial court, how dare you collude?  The vassal country has ulterior motives. You must report it to the court and get involved!" "That's it!" Zao Guoquan waved his hand with a smile: "Mr. Qu, haven't you understood the court's intentions?  Chen Fusheng finally managed to create a situation in Burma, but the imperial court issued an edict. Instead of removing the word "quan" from his "authority" to know all affairs in Burma, the imperial court's purpose was to send an immediate superior from thousands of miles away.  It's obviously a strategy of "controlling the big and the small". I am full of resentment even in his position. If I take advantage of him, Mr. Wu will definitely protect this disciple. If the two sides start a lawsuit, they can only  You are following the wishes of the big guys in the cabinet!" Having said this, Zao Guoquan stood up, faced the direction of Hanjing in the northeast, and sighed: "The young master is suspicious of the country, and the ministers in the DPRK have no master.  The high-ranking ministers can only play with these petty tricks!" When Qu Duan heard this, he could only remain silent. In such a power struggle and checks and balances at the top of the imperial court, he could only keep silent.  Now that the emperor is still young and unable to govern personally, the central power of the imperial court is in the hands of the foreign ministers headed by Lin Zhaorong, Bingbi Chengzhi, and the Grand Scholar of Tianyou Palace.  In this case, the central government naturally gave special favor to those ministers who had heavy military strength, wealth and power. Therefore, a few years ago, Zao Quanquan defeated the French invasion at the Annan Protectorate and forced the French to give up central Annan.  Huddled in several southern provinces, he was famous all over the world, but he was promoted and demoted secretly. He was transferred to Hanking and became a salary officer.  This time he was finally released to Myanmar. Naturally, he had to tie an extra rope around his neck to prevent the beast from biting its owner. Chen Zaixing was also the rope. In this case, no matter how early Guoquan intervened,  If Chen Xingxing is reborn, the court will naturally not transfer him away.  "Then what should we do?" Qu Duan asked cautiously.  "What to do? Just do whatever you have to do!" Zao Guoquan said with a smile: "Isn't Chen Zaixing hiding behind the eldest princess? I pretended not to know, but he can't hide from me, his boss, for the rest of his life, right?  !" "Yes, if you want to take something first, you must give it first, sir, you are really smart!" Qu Duan gave him a gentle slap on the butt, and then his expression changed.It became ugly to look at him: "However, my lord, if we just forget about this matter this time, would it be too cheap for Chen Fusheng?" "Of course we can't just forget about it!" Zao Guoquan said with a smile: "Someone, do it for me.  Change your clothes and prepare to enter the palace to apologize to the eldest princess and His Majesty the King!" After giving the order, Zao Guoquan turned to Qu Duan and said with a smile: "Mr. Qu, I have to endure some hardships for you to put on a good show today!  They took a look!" There were crowds of people at the main entrance of the Myanmar Palace. People onlookers were whispering to each other and asking each other what happened.  "What happened at the palace gate? Why are so many people crowded here?" "I heard that it seems that a high official of Shun State is kneeling there to apologize to the eldest princess and His Majesty the King!" "A high official of Shun State?  Are you kneeling there? Asking for forgiveness? What is going on? "Hearing such exciting content, the questioner suddenly became excited.  "It seems that this high-ranking official of Shunguo did not do his job well and caused trouble for the eldest princess and His Majesty the King. Her Majesty the eldest princess took away his official position. After he returned home, he felt ashamed and had no place, so he went shirtless and carried a bundle of bamboo sticks on his back.  , Kneel down in front of the palace gate and ask for your majesty¡¯s forgiveness!¡± ¡°Oh! This high-ranking official of Shunguo is indeed extraordinary. If we are an official from Myanmar, no matter how bad his performance is, he will still feel ashamed.  As long as you become a noble master, you can become an official. I heard that officials in Shun Kingdom are all obtained through examinations. Even if your ancestors are farmers, there seems to be a saying that those who are knowledgeable and capable can become officials.  "What is it like to be a farmer in the morning or climb up in the evening?" At this point, the idle man got stuck and stood there scratching his head and ears, unable to say anything.  "You will be a farmhouse minister in the morning, and you will ascend to the emperor's hall in the evening!" A person next to him who couldn't stand it took over with a smile.  "Yes, yes! That's it, haha! In fact, I have almost figured it out!" The man before laughed twice, but this man was indeed very thick-skinned, and then asked: "Then they can just apologize, why bother?"  Shirtless and carrying a bamboo stick? The weather is not warm anymore, and the wind is quite cold on your body!" The man next to him was very patient and explained loudly: "You don't understand, this is them.  The way people in Shun country plead guilty is to bear a bamboo stick on their backs, and let you beat him with the bamboo stick to show your sincerity in asking for sin and repentance! " "So, that's it?  The Shun people are really full of tricks, and their emotions are full of twists and turns! You know so much, you are really a scholar!" Qu Duan was kneeling on the ground with his back bare, and the sounds of people talking on both sides were heard.  When it reached his ears, even though he didn't understand Burmese and couldn't understand the meaning, he still felt ashamed and wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.  But Zao Guoquan, who was standing aside with his hands folded, acted as if the people around him didn't exist. He looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose.  "Get out of the way, get out of the way, stop looking!" More than a dozen palace attendants walked out of the palace gate and drove away the crowd of onlookers. The leader came to Zao Guoquan, cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Zao  , Why are you doing this? Your Majesty, please come into the palace as soon as possible!" "My subordinates acted shamelessly and ruined your Majesty's important affairs. I am really ashamed!" Zao Guoquan bowed to the leading attendant!  Shili said.  "That doesn't have to be like this!" The leader of the waiters stumbled and said: "Sir, come into the palace quickly, your majesties are waiting for you!" "That's troublesome!" Zao Guoquan turned to Qu Duan behind him and said:  "Why don't you follow me into the palace!" In the palace, Luo Lin and Luo Qin were sitting on thrones side by side. Zao Guoquan brought Qu Duan up to the palace. Qu Duan hurriedly knelt down. Zao Guoquan said to them  He bowed and saluted: "Foreign minister, please see your majesties!" "Your majesties, please rise early!" "Your majesties, my subordinates have acted recklessly and provoked a mutiny. As his superior officer, I also have the responsibility to know people.  For unknown crimes, I will report it to Han Jing tonight. As for this guy, I don¡¯t dare to deal with it at will, so I will bring him here today and ask your Majesty to deal with it.¡± At this point, Zao Guoquan turned around and said:  Qu Duan said coldly: "I still haven't apologized to your majesties!" "The foreign minister deserves to die, please deal with it, your majesty!" Although Luo Lin is talented and has experienced a lot in her life as a fugitive, she is still young after all.  , I have never seen such a battle before, and Luo Qin was even worse. He felt a little pity in his heart when he saw Qu Duan, who was bare back and carrying a bamboo stick, kowtowing and confessing repeatedly.  Luo Lin sighed and said: "My lord, please let Mr. Qu get up. He is also a country without a heart. You can only punish him with two months' salary! Don't make it too difficult for him!" "Elder Princess  Your Majesty is indeed kind!" Zao Guoquan praised him, turned around and shouted: "Why don't you thank your majesties quickly?" After Qu Duan thanked him, he retreated.  Early in the morning Guoquan sat down and said in a deep voice:"Your majesties, the foreign minister would like to say something extravagant. The affairs of the new army are of great importance. You must be careful when choosing people. I wonder who your majesties want to use to take charge of the new army next?" Luo Lin pondered for a moment,  He replied: "General Office, I plan to choose an elder from the royal family. However, there are very few skilled modern military talents in Myanmar, and there are even fewer who are trustworthy, so I plan to ask an assistant from the superiors to help." "The eldest princess's office  That's true!" Zao Guoquan nodded and said with a smile: "This assistant must be carefully selected, but does your Majesty have someone he likes?" When Chen Zaixing, who was hiding in the back of the palace, heard this, he knew something was wrong.  Sure enough, I heard Luo Lin reply: "I think Mr. Chen Zaixing, who used to go to Guoquan to know everything about Burma, is good. I wonder what Mr. Zao thinks?" "The eldest princess really has good eyesight, and Mr. Chen can certainly do it!" Zao Guoquan took charge.  He smiled and said: "But he is still in Bagan to supervise the division. I will send an envoy to Bagan immediately and ask him to come back and take charge of training the new army!" "Bagan?" Luo Lin was stunned for a moment, and then he came to his senses.  Chen Zaixing should have secretly returned to Mandalay secretly. The master in front of him probably didn't know that he was already in Mandalay at this time. He was hesitating whether to tell the truth when he heard Luo Qin's voice beside him:  "Master Zao, don't you know? Mr. Chen came back yesterday and is in the palace now!" As soon as Luo Qin finished speaking, there was a sudden silence in the palace. Zao Guoquan pretended to be surprised and asked: "Your Majesty  , how did you know?" Chen Zaixing, who was at the rear, knew that he could no longer hide, so he had to step out and said politely to Zao Guoquan, "My lord, sir!" "It turns out you are here too, Mr. Chen!"  Guoquan surrendered his hand. He had a surprised expression on his face, but he was happy in his heart. He finally pulled out the guy who was hiding behind the scenes and shooting secret arrows at him. Now both of them are on the bright side.  With his official position as captain of the Burmese Protector and Commander-in-Chief of the military in Burma, the other party could not defeat him no matter what. As for the two siblings sitting at the top now, in the eyes of early Guoquan, they were just two puppets.  Can be ignored.  Zao Guoquan was extremely affectionate. He grabbed Chen Zaixing's right arm after taking a few steps and said with a smile: "Master Chen, I heard about you when I was in Hanking. You have been practicing in Myanmar for many years. Once you make a move, the whole world will be shocked."  , It turns out that he is the Wushuang of the country, he is indeed the famous Wuxu Shi! You and I, brothers, are going to get close to each other later!" Chen Zaixing was about to break free, but he felt that the opponent's right hand was like an iron pincer.  Normally, his arm hurt from pinching him, but he heard Zao Guoquan whisper in his ear: "It's better for you and me to go back to Xiaowei's house and explain things clearly!" Chen Zaixing had no choice but to nod slightly.  Zao Guoquan laughed, let go of his right hand, turned around and cupped his hands to Luo Lin and Luo Qin, who were leading them, and said: "The foreign ministers still have some trivial matters to discuss with Mr. Chen, so I won't disturb your majesties anymore today!"
