Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings

The night is hazy——

The street lights in Myeongdong District are lit up in rows, and a five-story clock tower more than 20 meters high stands at the end of the street.

There are many shops on both sides of the street, the most conspicuous one is the Japanese restaurant on the left side of Myeongdong.

In front of the revolving glass door of the restaurant, guests were constantly coming in and out. Two doormen stood on the left and right, and there were several Blue House bodyguards in black uniforms patrolling the surroundings with headsets in their ears and walkie-talkies in their waists.

Occasionally, there were male and female customers on the street who wanted to enter the restaurant to spend money. When they saw these cold-looking bodyguards in black, they couldn't help but quicken their pace and hurriedly left in front of the restaurant.

At this time, in the most exclusive private room of the restaurant, a young woman was lying flat on the dining table, her smooth and delicate skin covered with various delicacies - salmon, sushi, udon, tempura and so on.

This is the famous "Female T-Sheng" spread from Japan.

Choi Kyu-ha, who was sitting at the dining table slowly dipping his mustard sauce and tasting salmon sashimi, was content and turned a blind eye to the strange looks from the attendants around him. However, the four senior Blue House officials sitting at the same table with him looked a little embarrassed and deliberately looked around. , seems to be telling other people around that it is not that they want to eat this form of cuisine, but that the Prime Minister has an order and they dare not disobey it.

Choi Kyu-ha is fifty-three years old this year. She has gray hair, neatly combed, and wears glasses. She looks more like a university professor than a politician.

He behaves politely and speaks slowly, giving people a gentle and elegant feeling.

During Park Chung-hee's tenure as the commander-in-chief, Choi Kyu-ha, as prime minister, took over many government affairs.

However, the commander-in-chief Park Chung-hee was born in the military and liked to be dictatorial. Therefore, Choi Kyu-ha seemed to have great power and took over many government affairs, but the final decision depended on Park Chung-hee's face.

Choi Kyu-ha followed Park Chung-hee as the puppet prime minister for several years. He also resisted at the beginning, feeling that he was just a decoration and overqualified for use.

But gradually, as Park Chung-hee strengthened his autocratic power, Choi Kyu-ha's power was diluted again, and then he accepted his fate.

After accepting his fate, Choi Kyu-ha still neglected his administration. Anyway, he was dispensable and the decisions he made were useless. To put it bluntly, he was the "mascot" of Cheong Wa Dae.

Park Chung-hee used Choi Kyu-ha to prove how democratic he is, how much he loves talents, and how brave he is to accept the fate of a cultured, knowledgeable and noble scholar as prime minister, so as to avoid others saying that he is a weak man who rules the country.

After Cui Guixia accepted her fate, she lived a happy life. She usually drank wine with the foreign guests and discussed some trivial matters. In private, she drank and had fun with a group of literati and wrote poems in agreement.

If nothing else happens, Choi Kyu-ha will slowly finish his political career in these days of fading away, until he resigns and steps down.

But there are unforeseen circumstances, and people have misfortunes and misfortunes.

President Park Chung-hee was assassinated in a shocking incident not long ago, and died after unsuccessful attempts to rescue him.

There is a vacuum in the supreme power of the entire Republic of Korea.

As the second prime minister, he became the successor of the great leader Park Chung-hee!

At that time, Choi Gyuha was having a tea party with a group of Korean poetry tycoons. At the meeting, they drank and exchanged poems and songs.

Choi Kyu-ha took out a collection of poems in which he expressed his ambition through poetry for everyone to comment on.

Those poetry masters all applauded Choi Kyu-ha, saying that the level of Choi Kyu-ha's poetry has reached the level of "natural without carvings" and "good lines are made by nature".

He also said that Choi Kyu-ha is the contemporary Li Taibai, Du Fu and Cao Zijian of the Republic of Korea!

This compliment made Cui Guixia so excited that he drank a little bit too much that night. When he woke up, the first news he heard was "The commander-in-chief passed away and he was elected as the acting president."

At that time, Choi Kyu-ha was completely confused and was in a hangover state, suspected of being dreaming.

But the facts told him that all this was not a dream, it was all real!

When Choi Kyu-ha came to the Blue House with a dizzy head and was actively helped to the throne of the commander-in-chief, he woke up from the dream.

He really became the president!

Heaven,

Open your eyes!

At that moment, Choi Kyu-ha was full of ambition and high-spirited. Although on the surface he had to express deep regret and sorrow for the death of the commander-in-chief, in his heart, Choi Kyu-ha, who had soared his ideals, had already sang loudly: "Today is a good day!"

However, after serving as the acting commander, Cui Guixia discovered that things were not as easy as he thought.

In the past, I was a vase, a mascot, and a decoration. After becoming the acting commander-in-chief, I thought I could unleash my ambitions and create a myth for the Republic of Korea. Unexpectedly, I was still a puppet.

Although he sat upright and became the commander-in-chief, he had no real power in his hands.

All real power lies in the hands of the chief executive, Zheng Shenghe.

Zheng Shenghyeok commanded the army and controlled the promotion of military personnel. His closest confidants also included Jang Taewan, who controlled the Garrison Command, Zheng Byeongju, who controlled the Special Operations Command, and Kim Jinki, who controlled the Military Police Department.

These people are respectful to me on the surface, but secretly they are submissive. No one is willing to listen to their orders, thinking that Cui Guixia can only play with a pen and has never even been on the battlefield. How can he compare with these iron-blooded soldiers?

Well, Zheng Shenghyuk had too much power, so Cui Guixia had to endure it, but the thorny young general Quan Doukwang didn't take him seriously, which made Cui Guixia feel like he was stuck in his throat.

What is Quan Douguang?

When President Park was alive, he was just a follower of his old man. Many times, President Park participated in activities and was not even on camera during interviews.

Now, since the death of the commander-in-chief, he has been showing off his pride, saying that he will be loyal to the deceased commander-in-chief and avenging him. He uses these lies to eliminate the enemy, but instead he has firmly grasped his security headquarters and intelligence bureau. , constantly eliminating dissidents and seizing power.

Many times, Choi Kyu-ha could only turn a blind eye to these, because every time Quan Dou-kwang recommended his own people and defeated his opponents, his excuse was: "I am arresting the members of the conspiracy organization that killed the leader, the Prime Minister." Sir, is there something wrong with you not signing or approving it?”

What could be wrong?

If Cui Guixia didn't approve, he would have become a conspirator. After all, after the death of the commander-in-chief, it seemed that he had gained the most benefits.

But as soon as he signs and approves, Quan Douguang will have another strong man in the center of power, and his strength will be doubled.

So in Choi Kyu-ha's view, this bald boy Quan Doo-kwang is even more hateful than that bitch Zheng Sheng-hyuk!

At any rate, Zheng Shenghe pointed the gun directly at him, making him a puppet and not daring to move rashly.

Quan Douguang kept poking his butt with a gun, making him jump like a toad.

At this time, Cui Gyuha was chewing the salmon and slowly swallowing the food, with a look of enjoyment on his face.

A senior Blue House official spoke appropriately: "Prime Minister, I didn't know you would invite us here tonight..."

Cui Guixia waved his hand, and the senior official immediately stopped talking.

Cui Guixia leaned back slightly, closed her eyes and tasted the taste between her lips and teeth, and then nodded gently: "Yes! This is how Japanese food should be eaten. The body fragrance of the girl's skin and the fragrance of the salmon blended together, complementing each other, making It’s fragrant and more delicious. No wonder this way of eating is so popular in Japan, what do you think?”

Choi Kyu-ha looked at the four senior Blue House officials.

The four senior Blue House officials didn't know how to respond, so they had no choice but to smile and nod in agreement.

"I know what you are thinking. As a government official doing this kind of thing, what if someone sees it and spreads the word? It will be very bad for your reputation! But don't worry, what to eat tonight, no matter how you eat it, no matter the dishes Neither the type nor the way of eating will be revealed.”

Cui Guixia wiped the corners of her mouth with a napkin, raised her hand and glanced at the gold watch on her wrist: "It's still half an hour until dawn. We still have time to taste these delicious dishes."

The senior Blue House official who spoke first was still worried: "But Mr. Prime Minister, we all know that you are definitely not as simple as inviting us to dinner, right?"

Cui Guixia picked up the wine glass, drank a glass of red wine, rinsed her mouth, and spit it into the trash can at her feet.

"Well said! In fact, the reason why I did so many things tonight is to show my true self in front of you, so that you can get to know me without any worries, reveal your feelings to each other, and become best friends from now on..."

Cui Guixia gave the other party a relieved look and said slowly.

We are all smart people, so of course we understand what "carefree" means and what "showing our true feelings" means.

Since Choi Kyu-ha took over as the acting commander-in-chief, he has been desperately trying to win over capable senior officials like Cheong Wa Dae and make them loyal to him, thereby getting rid of the dilemma of being a mere commander.

In fact, from a practical point of view, Choi Kyu-ha dared to invite these four officials to taste the "female T-shirt" together, which is considered to be very "candid".

The four of them knew these things well, and Cui Guixia said these words just to recruit them and let them do things for him.

Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!

But the problem is that the current situation at the Blue House is grim. There is Tathagata Buddha Zheng Shenghyuk at the top, and the bald man Chun Doukwang who is making trouble in the palace. Even if these people really follow Choi Kyuha all the way to the end, they probably have no future.

But if they don't follow, the four of them really have nowhere to go.

The four of them do not belong to the military faction, they are all literati, and they only have a "common language" with Choi Kyu-ha. Unlike those guys like Zheng Shenghyuk and Quan Doukang, who always talk about "sheba" and "bitch".

Thinking of this, the four of them looked at each other and nodded together: "Thank you, Prime Minister, for your respect. I will do my duty to serve you!"

Cui Guixia was overjoyed when she saw this. She smiled and said again: "That's easy to say! As long as you recognize me as your boss, I will support you in the future. You four don't have to think about anything. Just do your job and help me handle the government affairs. When I am in control, I’ll help you get promoted to a higher position.”

The four officials stood up excitedly and picked up their wine glasses: "Thank you, Prime Minister."

Cui Guixia laughed and pressed his hand to signal the four of them to sit down.

…

at the same time,

Outside the revolving glass door of the Japanese restaurant——

Five jeeps were approaching at high speed. When the bodyguards in black saw the incoming car, they hurriedly stepped forward to intercept it.

Before they could draw their guns, dozens of people jumped out of the jeep and pointed their submachine guns at them.

The men in black still wanted to struggle, but two more men and horses mysteriously appeared from the left and right sides, directly surrounding them.

Seeing the opponent's advanced weapons, these bodyguards in black no longer had the will to resist. At the signal of the sergeants, they dropped their guns on the ground, and then knelt on the ground with their heads in their hands.

In fact, they were careless. They never dreamed that anyone would dare to go against them, the Blue House bodyguards.

Therefore, they were unprepared, and with the opponent's large numbers and advanced weapons, they had no choice but to surrender.

After all the bodyguards in black were captured, Quan Douguang, dressed in a major general uniform, jumped out of the jeep with a cigar in his mouth.

"Loyalty!"

All the soldiers saluted him together.

Jun Doo-gwang waved his hand and walked straight into the restaurant with his five men.

The staff in charge of the restaurant's security saw that Jeon Doo-gwang was coming aggressively, and frowned in embarrassment, and was about to bite the bullet and step forward to stop him.

Jun Doo-gwang didn't even look at them, and someone next to him had already stepped forward and slapped him, making the security chief dizzy.

"Damn, are you blind?"

The security guards immediately became honest, lowered their heads and whispered, not daring to speak.

……

In the restaurant---

When Choi Kyu-ha was very happy about recruiting four generals, a discordant voice broke in--

"Hey, Prime Minister, you're still not asleep so late? You really have a lot of things to do!"

When Choi Kyu-ha heard the voice, he saw Jeon Doo-gwang who stepped in and was looking around the private room.

Choi Kyu-ha stood up and angrily said, "General Jeon, what do you mean? Why did you barge in without saying hello?"

Jeon Doo-gwang paused, then led his men to the table where Choi Kyu-ha was sitting.

Jeon Doo-gwang's men were obviously coming to a high-end place like a Japanese restaurant for the first time. Even though they didn't frown when killing people on the battlefield, it was their first time to enter the social circle of the upper class. They looked a little restrained, especially when they saw the young girl lying on the table as a "container" for food. Everyone's eyes widened, wondering if what they saw was real.

Jeon Doo-gwang also saw something he shouldn't have seen, but he didn't make a fuss. Instead, he greeted the young girl nonchalantly, "Okay, dinner is over, you can go!"

The girl hurriedly stood up and ran away naked without caring about shame, and the food on the table fell to the ground.

Jeon Doo-gwang's men were so angry that their eyes almost popped out, and they kept saying "Shiba" in their mouths.

"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect you, the Prime Minister, to enjoy yourself!" Quan Duguang didn't even look at Choi Kyu-ha, he pulled a chair and sat down with a cigar in his mouth.

Choi Kyu-ha looked embarrassed and embarrassed.

The four officials also looked embarrassed.

Quan Duguang picked up the sashimi that fell on the table, stirred it in mustard, took out the cigar, opened his mouth wide and swallowed it in one gulp, "Ahhh, it's too strong! This taste is so exciting! No wonder you all like it so much!" After saying that, he turned his head and looked at Choi Kyu-ha and others, "Oh, I almost forgot! What do corrupt officials like to eat the most since ancient times? It seems to be--"

Quan Duguang bit his cigar again, his eyes cold: "The people's blood and sweat!"
