=====================================================================

Minister of Military Aircraft Shi Xu, Zai Ze, Dai Hongci, Lu Chuanlin. University scholars Wang Wenshao, Kungang, Sun Jianai, as well as important members of the royal family Su Wang Shanqi, Bei Zi Pulun, as well as various ministries, pre-secretary of state, etc., the ministers who participated in the meeting included all fields, covering almost everyone in the highest power circle, although these people are missing the figure of the foreman military machine, but since someone else is coming, there will naturally be someone to represent his attitude.

The Manchu Dynasty civil and military gathered together, combined with the current situation, the theme of the meeting is self-evident, that is, to solve the current petition movement in full swing in the capital, many of them, such as Lu Chuanlin, Zai Ze, Dai Hongci, Sheng Xuanhuai, etc., have received a request from the petition group to play on their behalf, and they have a better understanding of the specific situation of this movement.

As soon as these officials met, they began to discuss a lot, and the petition group was so loud and spread all over the country, that this kind of large-scale mass activity for the purpose of pressuring the government was almost unprecedented, and it was only possible in this very special era.

Ye Kai is naturally on the list, as the Minister of State promoted by the supreme ruler, although he is considered to have joined this kind of high-level meeting unusually, no one will despise his status. Holding military power, Ye Kai's weight should not be underestimated, this kind of person with a military background is a person who is feared and co-opted by all parties in any era, however, within twenty minutes of being present, Ye Kai only talked occasionally, and remained silent most of the time, patiently using his eyes and ears to probe the direction of this meeting.

Before coming, the small clique of Zai Ze, Dai Hongci, Sheng Xuanhuai and Ye Kai had a discussion, and in response to this petition turmoil, they finally came to the conclusion that the request for a "quick opening of the Congress" was unrealistic, and the imperial court should still carry out the established transitional route, that is to say, they adopted a rejection attitude towards the petition group's call.

This is exactly the same as the main tone of the meeting observed by Ye Kai.

"The Lord Regent has arrived!"

The eunuch shouted that Zaifeng had finally arrived, and after he sat down, the meeting officially began.

"Princes, Beizi, ministers, now you have seen the situation in the capital, the number of petitioners is increasing day by day, and the governors from all over the country have also made joint calls, how to deal with this matter, you all open your mouths to discuss."

Zaifeng said decently, his eyes swept around, there was no figure of Yi Liang among these people, this kind of scene is really rare.

"The minister feels that the will of the people cannot be violated, since the petition is so loud, and the number of people is as many as tens of thousands, then if the court ignores it, the words are punished, and the people return in a huff, then the grievances will boil, and the chaotic party will also take advantage of the opportunity to rise, for my Qing Dynasty, it is tantamount to adding insult to injury, in the opinion of the old minister, since the parliament is going to be opened, it is better to open it now, and open it a day earlier, and the people's voice will stop some, so that those revolutionary parties have nothing to say, and the country will naturally be as stable as Mount Tai."

University scholar Wang Wenshao hurriedly said, his views and attitudes are obviously biased to the side of the petition group, but he is still standing in the position of the imperial court to speak, in his opinion, this petition turmoil is no less than a ****, once it is not handled well, it will inevitably give rise to unexpected disasters, the broken ship of the Qing Dynasty has been barely maintained for decades, and finally survived the threat from the outside, at this time there can be no more holes inside, Wang Wenshao saw the hidden crisis from this matter.

As soon as he spoke, some people below disagreed, and Sun Jianai, the elder of Hanlin, came out to speak.

"The old minister thinks that it is absolutely impossible, as the saying goes, if you want to hurry, you can't reach it, the outline of the constitution has been promulgated, and the nine-year constitution has been promulgated in the world, step by step, the constitution can be achieved, if the order is changed now, then where is the majesty of the court? Where is the testimonies? Where is faith? Imagine that the provincial councils are petitioning to convene the Diet today and the cabinet to be responsible tomorrow, then the day after tomorrow may require all the ministers to step down, and everything is up to them, and maybe there will be some kind of chaos? ”

"The National Assembly will definitely be opened, and there will definitely be a constitution, but everything has a priority, and in the nine years of the constitution, a total of 92 major things have been done, such as the establishment of country schools and the popularization of national literacy, which one is not more important than the opening of the National Assembly, and the hearts of the small people, how narrow, they naturally cannot see these."

Wang Wenshao's attitude first showed up, many people agreed, but more people stood on Sun Jianai's side, although the constitution has long become a consensus, the government's determination is also real, but in their opening, there must always be a transition period, if you can't climb, you have to walk, isn't it a joke, on the other hand, these old ministers essentially belong to the bureaucratic constitutionalists, and the situation is different from the civil constitutionalists, and the pattern of interests is completely different, and the civil constitutionalists hope to reshuffle the political situation by quickly opening the Congress. And these ministers are thinking about how to save their political careers as much as possible, save up enough political capital, and have a place in the next echelon of power, which is the selfishness of everyone in that position.

For both public and private purposes, this congress will not be able to open immediately.

Knowing this, it is not difficult to imagine the outcome of the subsequent discussions, and instead of the-for-tat of previous meetings, the ministers finally reached a consensus in a peaceful manner, as is the case with real history.

The original intention of the petitioning people was encouraged, but the petition was proposed, and politely refused.

However, it doesn't matter what the ministers think, the most important thing is how Zaifeng weighs the pros and cons and chooses initially.

In all fairness, both of them are practical ways to solve problems, but both are insufficient, but one of the most important issues has hit Zaifeng's heart, that is, the legitimacy of the government's existence.

Without the minimum prestige, the government will not be able to run at all, and the leading power of reform will be handed over to others, and the dynasty will be destroyed, which is the last thing Zaifeng wants to see.

"The country is vast, and the people have different intelligences, and the hasty opening of the House of Representatives will cause disturbances and unrest, so let's slow down this matter."

There was no surprise, after a short period of consideration, Zaifeng nodded in agreement with the mainstream opinion of the ministers, and Ye Kai also witnessed his decision at the same time, not surprised at all.

A meeting came to an end, and the will of the ruler will soon become a will, and it will be made public, and then the capital will set off even bigger waves, Zaifeng wants to do it once and for all, but he didn't expect it to be troublesome.
