After Duan Qirui left the world, he lived in seclusion in Baoding and gradually faded out of the political circle. However, when he drank the tea in his cup and sat on the bench with a golden sword, Fang Zida could still feel the majesty of the general who had been in war for half his life.

Duan Qirui boldly wiped away the water droplets of his beard on his lips. He looked at Fang Zida with a bright look and suddenly asked with a smile: "Kmt Nei Junming is probably ready, right? Although Song Dunchu is not an ordinary person, he still can't match you Fang Junming in some things. It seems that he will fall a big fall this time."

Fang Zida was startled at first, but calmed down in a flash. Although Duan Qirui withdrew from the center of power, his energy was not comparable to that of ordinary people. Moreover, the conflict between him and Song Jiaoren in the cabinet was not a secret incident. It is easy to find out with Duan Qirui's connections. Moreover, he had sent Yang Du to visit Duan Qirui earlier. Although many words were not stated clearly, Duan Qirui's extremely rich political experience is not difficult to understand the meaning of the words. It seems that Duan Qirui has not expressed his attitude these days, and it is probably another profound meaning.

"Old Zhi, you are a senior, with a sharp eye. You can't hide anything from you." Fang Zida smiled and shook his head, and secretly praised him.

Duan Qirui laughed and said, "Golden eyes on fire? That's not the Monkey King anymore? If there were really Golden eyes on fire, it would be great. I wouldn't have been able to... Alas..."

Fang Zida was a little embarrassed and said, "What happened to Xu Youzheng..."

Waving his hand, interrupting Fang Zida's explanation, Duan Qirui sighed, "It's Yuzheng who is confused. I actually received Youzheng's report long before the revolutionary party planned. After considering it, I asked him to go to the police department to communicate with the secret service and contact the secret service to prepare for the precautions. Who would have thought that Youzheng was too arrogant and brave, and he was even arbitrary. Not only did he not listen to me, he also tried to take this opportunity to kill people with a knife. What he planned was exposed later, and he couldn't wait to kill people. The so-called mistakes are wrong and wrong... It's just a pity that Youzheng has a talent!"

Fang Zida is clear about this. Speaking of the inside story of the Xu Shuzheng case, it is actually true that Xu Shuzheng is responsible for his own fault. Duan Qirui is not a mistake from beginning to end. But at this time, Duan Qirui took the initiative to mention Xu Shuzheng that day, and Fang Zida looked a little embarrassed. After all, it was for this matter that Duan Qirui resigned in disgrace under Fang Zida's step-by-step pressure and left the power center to live in seclusion in Baoding.

Fang Zida said that he was not good at all about Duan Qirui's feelings. It was not good either. He could only pretend that he didn't hear it, and lowered his head and picked up the teacup to drink water.

Duan Qirui looked at Fang Zida's expression and smiled: "Yingming, this matter has passed. You did not do anything wrong that day. To be honest, I had complaints about you at first when I came down, but I gradually got used to living a peaceful life these days. I thought it was good, and I would not have the hard work of fighting with others and the hard work of fighting for power. I am now living a variety of places at home and raising flowers. I can still go to the Central Military Academy to teach students when I am free. Now I eat delicious food and sleep. I don't feel tired when I wake up for a long time. This kind of fairy-like life is thanks to you, Fang Junming."

Fang Zida felt that it was awkward to hear this. What did it mean to be thanks to him? It sounded like two people in the world made enemies. One of them lost or even seriously injured and fled in a panic. Then he hid in the deep mountains and forests to practice martial arts. After a few years, his martial arts were achieved. He ran out to compete with the other party and stared at his enemies with a grim smile, and then gritted his teeth and said something like "I will be able to repay the great kindness in this life, and I will be able to repay them together today."

"Old Zhi, you are joking... This really makes Zida feel ashamed..." Fang Zida only felt like a needle was sitting under her butt, and felt uncomfortable all over her body. She quickly stood up and bowed to Duan Qirui as a junior to apologize.

"Sit down, I am such a bad old man, Zheng Ming doesn't have to be such a big gift." He greeted Fang Zida happily and sat down. Duan Qirui said calmly: "Don't think that what I just said was a slander. There are no outsiders here today, and you and I are here, so there is no need to go around this kind of circle. Don't worry, what I said just now is what I think, Zheng Ming doesn't have to be too careful."

"Old Zhi, you..." Fang Zida widened his eyes, as if he didn't understand Duan Qirui's meaning.

When I picked up the teapot and poured water, Duan Qirui said calmly: "Do you know why I asked him to contact the Police Department and the Secretariat when I reported the whereabouts of the Revolutionary Party again?"

Although Fang Zida had several answers in his heart, he still shook his head.

Duan Qirui looked into the distance, as if recalling the scene at that time. After a while, he sighed: "Our China has been repeatedly attacked by foreign enemies for a hundred years. The great powers regard our country as fat and divide it up. It is a pity that the country has been weak for a long time, and the people are living in poverty and letting the other party bully and plunder. As a soldier, I am really ashamed. Finally, when the Qing Dynasty abdicates and the Republic of China is established, the whole country is united. After the efforts of President Yuan, he gathers the strength of the whole country to gradually recover. In addition, the outbreak of the European War, all countries have no time to take care of our country. This has made the country grow stronger little by little over the years. How difficult is this."

Speaking of this, Duan Qirui glanced at Fang Zida: "Xianda President Yuan Gong is my old boss and brother, and also Zheng Ming's father-in-law. When Yuan Gong was stationed in North Korea in his early years, he led his troops to defeat the Japanese army. After returning to China, he supervised the new army at a small station to lay the foundation for New Beiyang. During the New Deal in the late Qing Dynasty, he promoted reforms. During the Revolution of 1911, he followed the Qing emperor in a peaceful manner and unified the country. These actions are a great man of a generation. After I followed him for half his life, the one I admire most was Yuan Gong. Zheng Ming, you are proficient in finance, have a sharp eyes, and Song Dunchu is unparalleled in organization, and have a firm personality.

There are also Li Songqing, who is wise and foolish, Sun Bolan, Wang Pinqing, Tang Jiwu... These people are all among the people. It is because of everyone's joint efforts that the country will flourish and have the current situation. But if you learn from the revolutionary party's guys who are not good at doing things with their own selfish desires and do assassination, conspiracy and intrigues, which makes the country turmoil and the country fall apart, whoever does this will be the sinners of the country and the nation! Even if I have half anger, I will fight to the death with him! This was the case with Liang Yansun back then, and Xu Youzheng, they are not willing to sacrifice their lives..."

Fang Zida listened quietly, and understood the real purpose of Duan Qirui finding him. As the crack between him and Song Jiaoren became bigger and bigger, the two were imminent in formal confrontation. Compared with Song Jiaoren, although Fang Zida's position was not as good as Song Jiaoren, he held military power in his hand, not to mention the backing of the secret service that was terrified. If he lost to Song Jiaoren in political competition, Zida would go to extremes in anger, even if Song Jiaoren had three heads and six arms, he would not be Fang Zida's opponent.

To borrow Xu Shuzheng's incident, Duan Qirui expressed his attitude. No matter what method he competed between Fang Zida and Song Jiaoren, he would not interfere, but once he crossed the bottom line, Duan Qirui would never stand idly by.

Slowly drinking the tea in the cup, Fang Zida smiled faintly: "Old Zhi is too worried. Old Zhi also knows that Zida returned from Europe. The constitutional system of Western countries has been implemented for a hundred years. Zida felt the same when he was in Europe. The so-called politics naturally has political rules of the game. What can be done and what cannot be done? Zida knew clearly. Just like Liang Yansun attempted to change the state system, Xu Youzheng used a knife to kill or even silence the verdict, which has seriously violated the law. Since the founding of the Republic of China, under the rule of the previous president, all aspects of laws have been formulated. Now we are implementing a constitutional system. No matter who has the courage to touch these, he will be subject to the most severe trial and punishment. This is no exception. I have always had an old saying in China? A prince violates the law and the common people. In Zida's opinion, the president violates the law, let alone others?"

"Okay!" Duan Qirui's eyes lit up and he clapped his hands and praised: "Since Zheng Ming has such an idea, it's because I'm too worried. I know that Zheng Ming is busy with official business and goes this trip. I really feel sorry for him. Come on, I use tea instead of wine to make a drink for Zheng Ming's words!"

"Old Zhi, you are too polite. You are a senior, and you are still a presidential senator. You are experienced and knowledgeable. It is natural for me to come to receive teachings." Fang Zida quickly picked up the teacup and said modestly.

Then, Duan Qirui stopped mentioning these things again, and instead asked about the situation of the European War. Fang Zida did not hide it and told him some inside stories that outsiders did not know. As the former Minister of Defense, Duan Qirui's military vision was much stronger than Fang Zida. After listening to Fang Zida's words, he took the initiative to pay attention to it. Fang Zida remembered it one by one and lamented that Duan Qirui was well-known and much stronger than Duan Zhigui in terms of military situations.

Later, following the European Fang Zida, Fang Zida, talked about the situation of the Russian Empire and told Duan Qirui the plan of the Central Bank of the Russian Empire. After learning about this, Duan Qirui was stunned at first, and then applauded. He strongly supported Fang Zida's plan and suggested vigorously supporting the orthodox government of the Russian Empire to go to war with the Soviets. In his opinion, the Russians were not a good thing. In the Qing Dynasty, the Russians bullied the Chinese people a lot. Now, the more they fight, the better they will fight, the better they will be. This view made Fang Zida happy. Unexpectedly, Duan Qirui was still a "dirty green" when he was old.
