Chapter 187: Convening

"Boom"

Thunder sounded in the sky, and from afternoon to evening, it rang repeatedly, but not a drop of rain fell from beginning to end.

At this time, the city of Beijing was like a big steamer, the air was stuffy, the snort was suppressed, and the sweat all over the body seeped into the clothes, and more than 40,000 people from all over the country poured into here at once, and they shouted the slogan of setting up a cabinet, day and night, wave after wave of siege in the regent palace, suppressing the atmosphere of sleepiness, and the invisible flame was spreading.

Chen Kuilong, the governor of Huguang, one of the few central factions, suppressed the petitioners in accordance with Zaifeng's orders, and after the execution of more than 100 troublemakers Ming Zheng, the next day he was assassinated by the revolutionary party at the New Military Academy, and the situation in Hubei was tense for a time.

Hunan, Anhui, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, and the five provinces petitioned the people to announce that they would stop paying new taxes from now on, and continued until the establishment of the cabinet, and the anti-tax action quickly spread to the whole country.

At the same time, there were repeated incidents of smashing, looting, and burning in various places, and lawbreakers mixed in with the petition procession, ransacked shops and businesses along the way, and even worse, rushed directly into the homes of ordinary people, killed all the men, raped the women, and set fire to the entire house, and the fire spread in the center of the city.

In the southwest, however, the national splits that had been suppressed to scum have revived, and the Dalai-Lama forces have a tendency to regain their strengths, and the foreign powers have taken advantage of the fire to loot, and the frontiers have once again become tight

It's chaotic, it's all messy, the whole country has fallen into a state of complete anarchy, the governors are guarding their own one-acre and three-point land, and the silver is hard to make it out of their pockets, anyway, the world is in chaos, it is the most beneficial to them, there is the central government on it, even if the dynasty changes, they are also the "princes" of the cracked map.

On the other hand, the central government has long been too busy to take care of itself, and the low-level officials have defected, and the high-level leaders have either waited and seen the changes, or have begun to find their own way out.

In the name of freedom, countless people openly do evil things, and the rampant public opinion finally evolves into a nationwide carnival, and its every move is full of crushing.

The rain will not fall, and people's hearts will be shaken and chaotic.

The Dynasty Mansion has gradually tilted

It was getting late, the wind was blowing, and along the courtyard of the courtyard, he could only see the sky dyed by dark clouds, Ye Kai was also panicked in his heart, thinking that it would be better to have a solid heavy rain.

For several days, news from the Intelligence Agency kept coming into the mansion, all bad news, either where there was unrest, or there was a rebellion on the border.

"Master, it's windy, it's cold, don't stand there alone."

Han Cuier took a cloak from the house and put it on Ye Kai, her shoulders were cold, and she found out.

"Got it"

Ye Kai nodded, not wanting to live up to this kindness, but he was willing to take it outside, at least he could breathe more.

"Sir! Master! The Lord Regent has arrived! ”

Han Chun'er hurriedly ran down the steps, rushed to Ye Kai's side in three or two steps, and shouted without worrying about panting, "Master, the regent has a letter!" After speaking, he handed a piece of teletext paper to Ye Kai.

"Regent!"

Ye Kai took the telegram, glanced at it twice, and suddenly his whole hand stiffened.

"Teach Shu Qing, Jiang Zhiqing come to my study"

Leaving a word, Ye Kai turned around and left.

Half an hour later, the two arrived one after another, standing in front of the desk, and Ye Kai had not yet asked.

"How's the Lord Regent?"

Half a day later, Ye Kai raised his head, this question was obviously asked to Jiang Zhiqing, he had been in charge of security work.

"Although the regent is trapped in the palace, he is still safe, and those people are at most petitioning, shouting a few times, and not daring to storm the palace gate." Jiang Zhiqing replied that since the outbreak of the petition turmoil, Ye Kai has sent dozens of "crows" and "night owls" to ensure Zaifeng's safety.

"How's going in the capital?" Ye Kai asked the next question non-stop.

Shu Qing's Ah Gong replied: "There is a great chaos in Beijing, the petitioners are surging, hundreds of people arrive in Beijing every day, and the police don't care, thousands of people are staring. ”

"I know that." Since Shanqi was suspended, the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Patrol Police Department are still in the hands of Yi-Xuan, and at this time, they have also become a force to be reckoned with.

"Liang Shuai, Qingwangfu has been very lively recently, and there is an endless stream of people who come to visit every day, and you have all kinds of them."

"Oh, who are they?"

"There are petition representatives from various provinces, and there are many princes and ministers outside the court's court." Shu Qing'a handed the list to Ye Kai, full of pages.

"By the way, there is a piece of grapevine, saying that a few days ago, Yi-Liang invited Prince Gong, Prince Zhuang, Prince Dun, and dozens of Manmeng princes to the mansion, saying that they would support Zaizhen to ascend the throne, and I don't know if it's true or not."

Shu Qing'a looked at Ye Kai, this is a blockbuster news.

"I know, don't believe the rumors, go down and find out."

Ye Kai didn't react much, put the list aside, and said solemnly: "There is a big event that called you here today!" ”

Hearing this, Shu Qing'a, Jiang Zhiqing's face tightened.

"Look at this telegram."

Ye Kai took out the telegram and put it on the table, and the two of them only read a paragraph before they were shocked.

"The Beijing division is in turmoil, and the Praetorian Guards were quickly sent into Beijing to quell the chaos"

"Liangshuai, this" Shu Qing'a could barely speak, he could already guess the purpose of Ye Kai calling them here.

"Let's talk about it, there's no one else here." Ye Kai waved his hand, his face was very calm.

"Qing Adu listens to the handsome!"

With a "plop", Shu Qing'a knelt down on one knee directly and cut it categorically.

"Arise, arise, I know your mind." Ye Kai helped Shu Qing'a up, this was the result he wanted, but it was not the information he wanted.

"Kai-shek, what do you think?" Ye Kai turned his head and asked directly in place.

"The students also follow the orders of the principal." Jiang Zhiqing arched his hand, but then continued: "The regent has been trapped for many days, and the courtiers have stood by one by one, which is clearly a joke to see the regent, the principal, as the commander of the Praetorian Guard, should lead the army to quell the chaos and revitalize the dynasty. ”

Jiang Zhiqing finally gave a tendentious answer, Ye Kai nodded, turned around, and said for a long time: "I know what you said, let's go to the main hall and wait first." ”

"Yes!"

The two stepped back, and the door closed.

Next, it was Ye Kai's turn to make a decision alone, he didn't care about any loyalty, he only cared about the level of value.

Ye Kai needs to be decisive, and he needs a precise mind. (To be continued.) )
