Yun Qiao listened quietly for a long time, feeling a little puzzled.
However, she herself does not worship Buddha and cannot understand the determination of devout people.
The old lady's request this time was quite willful.
Maybe when people are old and have perverse personalities, they are just like children: they are just testing how much their children love them.
Whether she really wants to go or makes a fuss unreasonably, the old lady has made a decision and must go.
Compared with my mother, Governor Xi was really in no mood to find the daughter who had run away from home, so he only sent a few subordinates to track down Xi Wenjie's whereabouts.
He wanted to send a telegram to Shanxi personally.
He also had to say hello to the warlords passing by along the way and let his special train pass.
The person who received the telegram was naturally confused and didn't know why.
No one believed it, it was just as simple as the old lady of the Xi family going to the northwest to worship Buddha.
Everyone is speculating whether there is some tacit understanding between the two military leaders, or whether the southern government, which has been rumored for a long time, is about to be established?
In short, people with a keen political sense are waiting and watching.
The staff of the Governor's Mansion also felt that this was a good time and they could use this matter to form some alliances, so people could not speculate in vain.
No one with any brain would believe it if the old lady paid homage to Buddha - who knew the truth was just that simple?
The warlords in Shanxi received the telegram but never responded.
They were probably panicking over there, wondering what was going on in Yancheng, and couldn't figure out which direction the wind was blowing.
"If the Xi family stamps their feet, the whole world will be shaken."
Yun Qiao said, "The power of the Xi family is stronger than imagined."
Xi Lanting: "That's true."
The Xi family, which is entrenched in East China, is currently one of the most prestigious powerful families.
Although it is affiliated with Peiping, it remains relatively independent from there.
Perhaps, the structure of the two governments in the north and south will be realized by the Xi family.
The chain reaction of the incident was that the Peking cabinet learned that Governor Xi was going to Shanxi and was very panicked.
Shanxi still didn't reply, but Peiping sent a special commissioner to go south on the fastest special train.
The one who came this time was Wei Bangyan, the adopted son of Wei Haizheng, who could also be regarded as Yun Qiao's uncle.
Also accompanying Wei Bangyan was Fourth Master Xi.
The people in the cabinet have to drag the fourth master of the Xi family to feel at ease.
"If the governor has any opinions, he can first bring them to the Peking Cabinet.
Now that we are surrounded by great powers, we should not go to war."
Wei Bangyan got straight to the point.
Governor Xi: "..."
"The President invites you to go north and serve as Commander-in-Chief of the Army. This is the letter of appointment."
Wei Bangyan said again.
Governor Xi naturally refused.
But this incident reminded him that maybe he should really go to Shanxi.
After all, Shanxi has the best iron and coal in the world, so there is no harm in having a good relationship with them.
The cabinet is so anxious and does not want Yancheng to have anything to do with Shanxi. Naturally, there are huge profits to be made from this, which makes the cabinet even scared.
"What's this called?"
Governor Xi is also funny.
The situation was finally stable, but his mother wanted to worship Buddha, which made people panic.
Xi Lanting didn't care about this: "The chaos is not that our mother wants to worship Buddha, but the situation in the world. If there is any excuse, it will fall apart."
Governor Xi: "..."
Before Wei Bangyan left, the special correspondent from Shanxi also arrived.
Governor Ye of Shanxi did not send a telegram, but directly sent his cronies.
First of all, Governor Ye welcomed the old lady of the Xi family to Mount Wutai to worship Buddha. He also said that he believed in Buddhism and had repaired the roads in Mount Wutai over the years.
He also said that his wife could accompany the old lady to Mount Wutai to stay for a year and a half.
He even invited Governor Xi to go north and visit the northwest.
"Xiao Qi, I really have to send my mother to Shanxi."
Governor Xi discussed with his staff again and again and decided to take the risk, "You will sit in the military government and temporarily serve as the general staff and take care of things for me."
Xi Lanting heard this and didn't take it seriously. He just said, "Bring your blessings with you."
