    "Send your support to Diok?" Maung Ji stood up, but immediately sat down again. No matter how well he knew intellectually, the conspiracy of these nobles was going against the trend of history and objectively endangering his beloved motherland.  It is safe, but handing these people over to Diok is actually handing them over to a foreigner like Chen Zaixing, which is emotionally unacceptable to Maung Ji anyway.  "It's better not to help each other!" Maung Ji sighed: "Presumably they can't cause any trouble, let them fend for themselves!" Maung Ji said to himself, even so, but deep in his heart  There is still a hint of worry here and there.  Shunhua Company Mandalay Office.  Compared with the architectural style with Burmese national characteristics of most aristocratic houses and temples in Mandalay City, this two-story building on the riverside is much more inconspicuous. It is just a building made of stone strips and lime joints.  It is a simple building with no decoration except for two symmetrical reliefs of Buddha statues above the gate.  The only thing that can distinguish this building from other noble houses are the two Sikh guards standing straight at the entrance of the courtyard. The only weapons on these two guards are two iron-clad short sticks tied to their belts.  Not even as good as the doormen of many noble houses.  But all this is just an illusion. If a stupid attacker rushes into the courtyard one day, he will find no less than forty guards with live ammunition waiting for him. The windows of all the rooms on the ground floor have been specially designed to  It quickly turns into a perforation, and the guards are even equipped with infantry-killing weapons such as Gatling Cannons. This two-story building that usually looks ordinary and harmless will reveal the fangs of the beast and transform into a solid bunker.  "I am Diok, counselor of the Kingdom's Privy Council. I am here to ask for an audience with Mr. Chen. Please pass the message for me!" Diok said carefully. The Sikh guard seemed not to hear what he was saying at all, and just spoke coldly.  Cold eyes looked him up and down, and one of his companions was carefully searching Diok's body. Although he had been here many times, he was still not used to such inorganic eyes.  Diok has always wondered why Chen Zaixing always uses Sikhs to form his own bodyguards. Are these dark-skinned barbarians more trustworthy than his own people?  However, he wisely did not raise this issue to Chen Zaixing.  The Sikh guard finally completed the search. He nodded to Diok, turned and walked into the courtyard.  Diok followed him. All the doors on the ground floor of the building were closed, reflecting the metallic light under the sunlight. He instinctively quickened his pace in order to leave here as quickly as possible.  "My lord is inside, you can go in!" The Sikh guard pointed to a room near the inside. Diok nodded and walked in. He knew that Chen Zaixing would be there on Thursday and Friday afternoons every week.  Come to this office and listen to reports from managers from Shunhua companies in Shanghai, Kunming, Hanking and other places.  "Chairman, as of last month, the daily rail output of Kunming Iron and Steel Plant has increased to 60 tons. The supply of iron ore has basically met the demand, but there is a shortage of coke. Manager Ji requested in the telegram  Add more than fifty workers every month to speed up the construction of the small railway to the coal mine, or increase the corresponding amount to hire enough workers to build the small railway! " "Well, please indicate this in the call back to Manager Ji!  , the number of laborers will meet his requirements in two months, and he must produce 25,000 tons of rails a year by the end of this year!" Chen Zaixing tapped the table with his knuckles gently and gave the order to the clerk.  At this time, he saw Diok's figure and stood up: "Privy Councilor, please come in. You guys, please retreat first. We will talk about those things later!" "Yes!" The staff retreated,  The last one to go out closed the door.  Chen Zaixing smiled, gestured to the chair beside him, and motioned for Diok to sit down: "Counsellor, what's the matter?" "Yes!" Diok did not sit down according to Chen Zaixing's instructions.  There was an extremely excited expression on his face: "Sir, I want to report a group of traitors to you, a group of traitors who are trying to destroy the entire kingdom!" "Rebels?" Chen Zaixing smiled nonchalantly and returned to his chair.  He sat down and asked: "Okay, my lord, please tell me what kind of rebels make you so nervous? What conspiracy do they have?" "Sir, these rebels are basically nobles and monks, and some of them are  "A few of them are still members of the Privy Council." Diok lowered his voice when he said this: "Many of them are trying to sow discord between the two majesties in the name of supporting the legitimate king to ascend the throne in order to achieve their ulterior motives.  "That's it!" The relaxed smile on Chen Zaixing's face disappeared. Obviously, what Diok just said touched a key point in his heart. Chen Zaixing's biggest weakness at this time is that he is not Burmese, no matter how powerful he is.  , has many brains, but as a Dashun person, he is the only one who has become the most intelligent person in Myanmar.The king's only option was to usurp, but this was impossible under the circumstances.  "How many people participated in this conspiracy? Who are they? Also, how did you discover this conspiracy!" "Sir, discovering this conspiracy was a complete accident!" Diok replied in a low voice: "Because someone  For this reason, I have an informant lurking among the servants of the Songshen family. He discovered the existence of the conspiracy at noon today. The number of conspirators now in my possession is no less than 300, and quite a few of them are members of the Privy Council. I  I feel that I should not act rashly, so I came to ask for your instructions!" "Yes!" Chen Zaixing nodded. He knew what Diok meant. If there were only a few conspirators, they should act quickly and catch them all.  , and then punish potential opponents harshly.  However, if it is an activity like this with a large number of participants and a considerable consensus among high-level officials, it should be treated with caution. If simple and crude methods are used, it is likely to provoke even greater riots, which will be troublesome.  .  "What did Songji himself say?" Chen Zaixing asked in a deep voice, obviously he attached great importance to Songji's attitude.  "Let me tell you, your lord, Wu Songji's attitude is very ambiguous!" Diok replied: "He neither expressed approval nor objection. However, according to the people who were placed in his house by the villain, after the nobles left, he was in the courtyard.  He was pacing back and forth until late at night, and he was sighing all night long! " "Huh!" Chen Zaixing showed a hint of anger on his face, and after thinking for a moment, he said in a deep voice, "Send more people to monitor closely, and don't act rashly.  Notify me immediately of any news, do you understand?" "Yes, sir!" Diok bowed and left.  As soon as he walked out of the house, a proud smile appeared on his face, and he whispered to himself: "Very good, you can only fish when the water is mixed!" Half an hour later, Diok returned to his residence.  , as soon as he entered the door, the housekeeper came over and whispered: "Master, Mr. Wu Mengchi has been here for a while!" "Yes!" Diok nodded and wiped his face with the wet towel handed by the maid: "  Take him to my study, be careful not to let outsiders see it!" "Yes, sir!" Diok changed his clothes and walked into the study. He saw a frightened young nobleman taking out a pocket watch from his arms to check the time.  , Maung Kyi would have been very surprised if he was here at this time, because this person was the leader of the nobles who asked him to support the legitimate king in his home not long ago.  The young noble heard the footsteps, looked up, and hurriedly saluted: "Lord Counselor!" "Yes!" Diok nodded expressionlessly: "How are those nobles doing?" "Sir, tell me, those  After the guy came out of Maung Ji's house, he yelled that he was as cowardly as a mouse and had disgraced the nobles of the kingdom. After the big event was successful, he must be taken out of Mandalay and go to the countryside to eat mud! " "He is as cowardly as a mouse!  "?" A mocking smile appeared on Diok's face: "It's really ridiculous for a bunch of frogs in the well to think that this world is still a small piece of land above their heads!" "That's what the counselor said!" Meng Chi quickly agreed.  One sentence: "Actually, don't talk about these guys. Even Mao Ji, Luo Lin, and Luo Qin are played by adults?" "How dare you mention the names of these two majesties?" Di  Oak's face suddenly changed, and he shouted in a low voice, which frightened the noble named Meng Chi and threw him to the ground. His whole body was shaking like chaff, and he begged repeatedly: "The villain deserves to die, the villain deserves to die, please forgive me, counselor."  !" "Get up!" Diok's face softened and he asked in a low voice: "Do you know why I scolded you just now?" Meng Chiqi, who was still in shock, replied: "Because of the villain's words.  You are rude and should be punished!¡± ¡°Well!¡± Diok nodded slightly: ¡°But that¡¯s not the whole reason. Do you know why I want you to promote the enthronement of the orthodox king among these nobles?¡± ¡°This¡ª  ¡ª" Meng Chi hesitated. He glanced at Diok, as if he was hesitant to speak.  "It doesn't matter, there are only two of you and me in this room now, so there's nothing you dare to say!" Diok encouraged with a smile: "Say it so that I can see if you have made any progress these days." "Yes.  "My lord!" Meng Chi calmed down and said in a low voice: "I think this is killing two birds with one stone. If you can think of a way to promote the orthodox king to ascend the throne and drive away the king's wife, naturally others will also want it. Instead of being passive and defensive, it is better to send people proactively."  Spread the news, gather the potential rebels, and either kill them all or control their scope! " "That's right. It seems that you have made a lot of progress these days. When this matter is resolved, you can also take the deputy counselor's seat!  Sit down!" Dioksmiled.  "Thank you, sir!" Meng Chi was overjoyed when he heard this. Although he was a noble, he was not a high-born noble like Maangji, Tu San, or Diok. That's why he secretly became Diok's spy and was able to escape from this.  With such a shameful status, being appointed as Deputy Privy Councilor is a reward that is simply undreamed of.  "No need to thank you, you did it yourself!" Diok waved his hand: "What about the other bird?"
