(3rd Update)

Dongjiaomin Lane, Liuguo Hotel.

This palatial four-storey building, named after the joint venture of Britain, France, the United States, Germany, Japan and Russia, has always been a meeting place for ministers, officials and high-level people from various countries.

The reason why he chose this place, Ye Kai obviously moved a little thought, this is the territory of foreigners, there are no worries about the comrades' meeting, the negotiation atmosphere is more relaxed, and the result will be more fair, and Ye Kai can also fully expose himself with the help of foreigners' media, in general, both parties are satisfied with this arrangement.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, when Ye Kai walked into the door of the Liuguo Hotel in a first-class official robe, the media reporters waiting there swarmed up, and the security personnel squeezed inside, taking pictures one after another, and he naturally became the headline indisputably, because it was a closed-door meeting, all reporters were refused to enter the main venue, so when Ye Kai disappeared at the closed door, this snapped photo was also printed on the cover of The Times.

"Liang'sstep, Qing'sfirst" (Liangbi's small step, the first step of the Qing Kingdom. ）

This is the title of the accompanying picture, which is meaningful.

The comrades committee also elected six negotiators, headed by Sun Hongyi, and the others were all provincial councilors, namely Yang Tingdong, Luo Jie, Chen Dengshan, Liu Chongyou, and Pu Dianjun. They sat on one side of the negotiating table, while Ye Kai and a group of attachés from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs sat on the other side, and the two sides faced each other, and after a few necessary greetings, the peace talks officially began.

"Lord Liang, 'Quickly open the Diet and immediately implement the Constitution', the people of the whole country are constantly clamoring, and the petition movement is rising, why is the imperial court still refusing, where does the regent want to put the people of the world?"

Yang Tingdong, who was opposite, was the first to speak, but Sun Hongyi, as the principal, was not the first to speak.

Ye Kai smiled and pressed his hand, signaling the other party not to worry.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the constitution is approved and strongly supported by the imperial court, which has been written in the edict and announced to the world, so there is no doubt that the heart of the constitution must be true, and there is no doubt about this. However, there must always be a charter, and only by doing so can we not make mistakes, and besides, this constitution is a major event, so it is natural to slow down. ”

"Since it is going to be opened sooner or later, what is the difference between opening earlier and opening later? It is better to open it as soon as possible, so that I can get rid of the list of weak countries one day earlier. ”

This kind of extremely naïve sounding and logical error was something that Ye Kai could have expected before.

"Your mood can be understood, since the imperial court has stipulated a nine-year constitution, we should come one by one according to the date, everything should always have a preparation, this is like a child playing outside the door, his parents call him home for dinner, he must wash his hands before eating, remove the dirt, otherwise what he eats is not food, but poison."

Ye Kai deliberately made the answer more popular, but the other party didn't appreciate it very much.

"Lord Liang, in this way, our people will have to wait for nine years, and my China will be weak for another nine years, and let those foreign devils of the great powers ride on their heads for another nine years!?"

Roger of the Comrade Association said indignantly, and these words Ye Kai sounded harsh, and he didn't even have the most basic political common sense, it was completely the style of contemporary old and angry youth, right? Whoever has the most radical position in the constitutionalism is the leader, who is loud among the people, and who is the embodiment of public opinion, these people simply make Ye Kai not know how to refute them.

"Weak nine years? Where did Congressman Luo come to this conclusion? In the first year of the constitution, the household registration was checked, the villages and towns were self-governed, and the flag registration was changed, which was a poor and weak move? The following year, the election of councillors, the promulgation of a new criminal law, the compilation of educational textbooks, and the reform of the central government, are these weak moves? In the third year, the tax reform, the budget reform, the reform of the provincial and ministerial bureaucracy, this is a weak move? In the fourth year, the establishment of the Grand Court, the reform of the central judiciary, the reform of the selection of civil officials, and the autonomy of prefectures and counties, is this a weak move? In the fifth year, household registration reform, local judicial reform, universal literacy rate, universal village and town schools, is this a weak move? In the sixth year, the national budget will be run on a trial basis, the civil and commercial laws will be complete, and the township police system will be implemented. In the seventh year, the Accounting Law was promulgated, the trial hall was established, and the national literacy rate reached 1 percent. In the eighth year, the Central Audit Yuan was set up, the royal funds were determined, and the Manchu and Han were integrated, which was a weak move? In the ninth year, the constitution was promulgated, the cabinet was formed, the royal ceremony was announced, and the upper and lower members of the parliament were elected. In the ninety-year constitution of the ninety-two articles, you can tell me, which one is the weakest act? ”

Grabbing the presumptuous advance in the other party's language, Ye Kai finished talking about all the major matters of the nine-year constitution in one breath, and then stared coldly at the person in front of him, and kicked the ball to the other party stiffly.

"If you really support the constitution, you should not make such a fallacy, according to your words, since the parliament will be convened sooner or later, then it will be in place tomorrow, what do you think?"

Only then did the representative of the comrade association realize the inappropriateness in his remarks just now, but he was helplessly caught by Ye Kai, and he was beaten very hard, and he had to bow his head, but fortunately, there were many of them and there were many opportunities to speak, and another representative named Liu Chongyou continued.

"What Ryōsama said is true, and it is indeed very detailed, but in the final analysis, the nine-year constitution was modeled after Japan, and the Meiji Restoration was a nine-year period for the implementation of the constitution, which your lord will not deny, right?"

"Not bad," Ye Kai nodded.

"That's good." The other party said with satisfaction, as if he had found some breakthrough, "Under Liu Chongyou, please ask your lord, the reason why the Meiji Restoration took nine years was because Japan had no precedent to refer to, so it took nine years to explore, so now I have established a constitution in the Qing Dynasty, modeled on Japan, there are living examples to refer to, and there are many people who have studied in the East in the petitioning crowd, and they can be used to make suggestions for the constitution of the Qing Dynasty, so it is not too much to shorten the constitutional period on the basis of nine years." ”

Liu Chongyou's next sentence is the point, "One year is too fast, then take a step back, how about two years?" ”

After saying this, everyone in the comrades association showed a relaxed expression, the exposition just now is reasonable and well-founded, you have no reason to prevaricate this time, right? Everyone looked at Ye Kai, including the accompanying officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, with faintly worried expressions.

"Yesterday, the imperial court issued an edict, and the nine-year period is immutable, and I am afraid that this official will be very difficult."

As soon as Ye Kai's answer came out, the other party immediately refuted it, as if he had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

"Then the imperial court is not sincere at all, and the constitution is a fake constitution that deceives the people, if so, I dare not guarantee that the wind of petitions will not prevail again!" This is simply a naked threat, and he is sure that the other party has no power to fight back.

In this regard, Ye Kai just sneered, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Councilor Liu miscalculated, in terms of national land, Japan is only one-thirtieth of the Qing Dynasty, and this preparatory period cannot be reduced from nine years, it should be counted from two hundred and seventy years downwards, and in terms of population, this Japan is 80 million, and the Qing Dynasty is 40,000, which is only one-fifth, and this period should be forty-five years, even if it is reduced by half, twenty years is not too much, right?" ”

Ye Kai's words were speechless, and almost all the people present were stunned, looking at each other, no one knew how to continue, and the meeting was almost unilaterally interrupted.

There was no time for them to consume, and seeing this opportunity, Ye Kai directly threw out a heavy smoke bomb.

"I just mentioned that the imperial court is insincere, so do you think it is sincere to pardon Kang Liang and allow him to return to China?"

Pardon Kang Liang!?

These four words caused an uproar in the venue. (To be continued.) )
