Wang Bin was immediately surprised when he heard Li Rong's words, it seems that this meeting can only be held here, and if it is held again, he will have to wait until the next time he has time. ｗ?ｗ?ｗ?．??

So after Li Rong finished whispering, Wang Bin announced that this meeting was over here, and the staff members saw that after Li Rong came in, Wang Bin said a few words in Wang Bin's ear, and Wang Bin announced the end of the meeting.

After Wang Bin finished, he came to his study accompanied by Li Rong, and as soon as he entered the study, Wang Bin saw his uncle, Wang Yingkai, the current minister of Beiyang, sitting in the study and looking at some books.

What Li Rong said in Wang Bin's ear before was that Wang Yingkai, the minister of Beiyang, had come to the mansion and was currently waiting for the adults in the study.

No matter how Wang Yingkai said it, he was also his own uncle, and he was also a trusted minister of Beiyang, so he was going to visit, so Wang Bin had to stop the staff meeting halfway to visit his uncle Wang Yingkai.

After entering the study, Wang Bin beckoned: "Uncle Wang, why do you have time to come to your nephew's place today?" ”

Wang Yingkai saw that Wang Bin seemed a little incomprehensible, so he said: "Why, can't you come over to see the new governor of the three eastern provinces?" Wang Yingkai said to Wang Bin with a smile.

"Uncle Wang, don't make fun of your nephew, aren't you also the new Minister of Beiyang now!"

"Hmph, Youde, you don't know that if you have gains, you will have to lose, the price of the old man becoming the minister of Beiyang is to give up the command of this second town, you must know that the old man has been working hard for a long time to manage this second town, and now he is going to hand it over to the imperial court, which is really a little emotional!" Wang Yingkai said after sighing.

"Then why Uncle Wang came here this time?" After listening to Wang Yingkai's words, Wang Yingkai knew that Wang Yingkai must have the next sentence, otherwise what would he do if he said this to himself before!

After listening to Wang Bin's words, Wang Yingkai did not answer Wang Bin's words directly, but continued: "Youde, what do you think of the current situation in the world? ”

As soon as Wang Yingkai's words came out, Wang Bin knew that this time Wang Yingkai came to discuss state affairs with him, and then Wang Bin replied: "Back to Uncle Wang, the current situation is how the little nephew looks at it: the court is in decline, and the local power is large, just like the emperor and the princes of Zhou in the Spring and Autumn Period. ”

"What do you mean by this?"

"According to the little nephew, since the rise of the Tongzhi Zhongxing and Xianghuai armies, the political pattern of the Qing Dynasty has begun to change, especially after a long period of Westernization, to the Qing Dynasty's New Deal period, the local forces began to grow, has developed from the dictatorship of the governor to the point of the confluence of the self-government movement led by the governor and the local gentry, to this point, in the opinion of the little nephew, not only the power of the Manchus has long shrunk to a situation that can barely be maintained by the Han ministers and gentry, Moreover, the growth of local power is now an irreversible fact. ”

"Youde, although there is some truth in what you said, but the old man does not agree, although the place is powerful, it is still not allowed to obey the orders of the imperial court."

"Uncle Wang, although the court is still majestic now, it is because Lafayette is still there, just relying on Lafayette's means of restricting and balancing the power tricks, it is like playing with a tangled chain of tricks, this previous thing does not reflect this, but if there are some that even the last majesty of Lafayette is gone, this huge Qing court can still control the governors of various places, Uncle Wang must know that the previous unjust case of Yang Naiwu and Xiao Cabbage can be regarded as a fight between the court and the locality."

Wang Bin's words sounded a little alarmist in Wang Yingkai's ears, and even Lafayette's "going west" was bluntly said, but Wang Yingkai recalled Wang Bin's words and found that the current pattern is as Wang Bin said, as long as Lafayette is alive, the people below still don't dare to act rashly, after all, Lafayette's means are there, but after Lafayette is gone, it is not necessarily.

Thinking of this, Wang Yingkai couldn't help but pay attention to the current local situation, so thinking about it, Wang Yingkai found that it was not far from what Wang Bin said: especially after the responsible cabinet came out, the organization of the responsible cabinet was originally the product of the joint letter of the governors of various places to prepare for the constitution, and the reason for these governors' letters is very simple, the responsible cabinet has three advantages: first, it can determine the policy of governance, second, it can improve work efficiency, and third, it is conducive to the unified distribution of state fiscal revenue.

However, although the responsible cabinet and the preparatory constitution were established under the pressure of these governors, but at a glance at the members of this cabinet, you can know that the imperial court is still unwilling to let go of the power in their hands, nine of the twelve cabinet members are Manchus, and the core five of them are even more royal, so no matter how you look at it, it is a kind of naked move to collect power.

The Manchu young nobles, who held the highest power in the country, used reckless seizure of power to offend all the people who should not be punished, so the contradictions between the local government and the imperial court became more and more serious, especially the imperial cabinet has always wanted to take the power into its own possession, so that the power is gradually centralized.

Although this contradiction is now under the pressure of Cixi, once Cixi goes west, the situation will immediately become extremely chaotic.

After figuring this out, Wang Yingkai asked Wang Bin: "Youde, what is the current pattern according to what you see?" ”

"According to the little nephew, the pattern of the world is bigger, it is the pattern of the court and the locality, if you divide the place into the north and the south of the south, the Beiyang has now been suppressed by the imperial court, but the little nephew is not blowing, at present, the strength of the foreign system of the little nephew is the largest, as for the Nanyang, it is a little complicated."

"Oh, what a complicated method in Nanyang?"

"Uncle Wang, if you want to say that the greatest strength in Nanyang still belongs to Liangguang, the land of Liangguang has always been the richest, and the new army trained in Liangguang is all non-commissioned officers studying in Japan, and these people have more or less been exposed to some revolutionary ideas, so the strength of the revolutionary party in these two places should not be underestimated."

"According to Youde, you say so, it seems that the situation in my Daqing is still a bit serious!"

"Hmph, it's not just serious, in the eyes of the little nephew, I'm afraid that the Qing Dynasty will only be a few years away." Wang Bin said indifferently.

"Youde, be cautious, no matter what, at least the current country is still in the Qing Dynasty." Regarding Wang Bin's words, Wang Yingkai said.

"Uncle Wang, what the little nephew said is right, and you know it in your heart, besides, at the moment, Uncle Wang, you are the minister of Beiyang, and the little nephew is the governor of the three eastern provinces, Uncle Wang, you are in the imperial court, and the little nephew is outside the customs, and Uncle Wang can also hold an umbrella for the little nephew in the imperial court, just by virtue of the relationship between our uncle and nephew, Uncle Wang, will you say it?" Wang Bin said to Wang Yingkai with a smile. (To be continued.) )
