"Chen Liangbi see the regent!"

Ye Kai was about to make a big salute as soon as he entered the door, but was interrupted by a voice in front of him.

"Okay, it's not in the palace, you don't need to salute, get up and sit down."

"Thank you, Lord Regent."

After Ye Kai stood up, he saw Zaifeng's outfit clearly, there was no gorgeous and heavy court clothes, he was just dressed in a casual coat, wearing a bowler hat on his head, and holding a half-open book in his hand, as if he was waiting to turn it over.

Zaifeng has had the habit of reading and keeping a diary since he was a child, coupled with the dress at this time, this appearance is no different from ordinary people, and there is no aura equal to the supreme emperor at all, in fact, this is also reasonable, he has been the regent for less than a year, and before that, he was just an ordinary prince.

"Regent, the turmoil in Tianjin has now been pacified, and the people involved in the case have also been arrested, and the ministers are fortunate to be not dishonored."

Naturally, Ye Kai spoke first to report, and briefly described one or two things like a routine.

"I've heard it all, the errand is done well, and the court can see it."

Zaifeng said in a calm tone, and the title was as if it was homely, not so formal.

"Then Kiriri is dead?" After a while, Zaifeng suddenly asked, but his reaction was very cold, just confirmation.

"That Tong committed suicide in fear of sin, and the minister was also deeply surprised." Ye Kai replied.

"It's good to be dead, but if you die, there will be one less difficult person in the Military Aircraft Department, and it will be more comfortable in the future." Zaifeng exhaled as if relieved, and then looked at Ye Kai on the side, "I really misread Natong at the beginning, and I regret that I shouldn't have listened to Qing's words." ”

In a sense, this is the true side of Zaifeng, with a bit of generosity and weakness in his character, lacking the necessary majesty and security of a person in power.

"Blame Natong himself, he doesn't know the current affairs, and he desperately stammers Yi-Xuan, but as a result, Yi-Xuan can really hold him? Na Tong is dead, and the regent doesn't have to blame himself. ”

Ye Kai said, of course he would not comfort Zaifeng for no reason, and the next words were the true intentions, "As the saying goes, if you eat a trench, you will grow wise, and the regent should take this as a lesson, there are not a few people like Natong, no matter how talented or prestigious, it is useless, this is like a double-edged sword, the regent did not catch it, but in turn hurt himself, so the minister must choose a loyal one." ”

After hearing this, Zaifeng nodded thoughtfully, he only recently understood this truth, thanks to Ye Kai's continuous edification, he was completely convinced of this point of view, from this moment on, he and the hesitant Zaifeng in history were completely cut off.

"As soon as Tong dies, there will be a vacancy in the Military Aircraft Department, tell me, what do you think of this candidate?" Zaifeng talked about the key things, and withdrew the subordinates in the inner hall, and Ye Kai also pricked up his ears to listen.

"This matter is very important, don't rush, you think slowly." Zaifeng then added, without putting too much pressure on Ye Kai, trustingly letting the latter think about it slowly, and he waited on the side.

Ye Kai didn't answer in a hurry, "Dare to ask the regent, what do the four in the military aircraft department think?" ”

Ye Kai didn't rush out of what he thought in his heart, he wanted to test the depth first, as well as the minimum reaction of the Military Aircraft Department.

Who are those four people, of course Zaifeng understands, but no, there was an unpleasantness between them today, and the anger that calmed down was also aroused by Ye Kai's question.

"The king did not ask, and he will not count on them in the future."

Zaifeng's tone of speech was obviously a little rougher, he originally planned to discuss this matter with them at today's meeting, first ask for preliminary opinions, who knows, Zhang Zhidong is so uninteresting, and he is at a stalemate on Lu Haihuan's issue, and this meeting ended in vain.

"You don't have to worry about them, it's private, just say it when you think about it." Zaifeng seemed to be particularly energetic tonight, and after speaking, he solemnly continued, "According to what you just said, you must choose a loyal one." ”

Faithful? That's enough of a hint.

Ye Kai understood this very well, and his intentions began to slowly penetrate from this flaw.

"Back to the regent's words, loyalty is not to his own family, if you want to choose, you have to choose from the royal family, your own family will not want the Qing Dynasty to fall, according to the minister's opinion, there is no greater loyalty than this, this is why the first queen mother wants to choose the old alcohol king, the old Gong king into the main military aircraft, the lesson of the past, now can be cited." Ye Kai said respectfully.

"Royalty"

This sentence hit Zaifeng's heart and liver, and it is self-evident how heavy he sees these two words. Subconsciously, Zaifeng's trust in the royal family can be called 100%, he can endure it for so long, and he can withstand the scolding of the whole country in the future, and resolutely form a ridiculous imperial cabinet, the reason is from this.

"Good"

Zaifeng replied in the tone of the ancient book, he directly agreed to this proposal, and then took the opportunity to ask questions, and the candidates basically couldn't get out of this category.

Who are there in the royal family, Shanqi, Zai Ze, Yu Lang, Pu Wei, Pu Lun, or Zaitao, Zai Xun?

He leaned on the table and listened to Ye Kai continue to analyze.

"The Minister of Military Aircraft, ranked in the center, is the country's primary minister, naturally can not choose a mediocre person, not only to have prestige, but also to have qualifications, but also to have talent, it is precisely because of Lao Gong Wang Yixin is capable of people, in charge of the military aircraft department, there is the Qing Dynasty Tongguang Zhongxing, the regent should be selected from such people."

Ye Kai didn't know if Zaifeng already had an idea in his heart, so he didn't reveal his intentions in advance.

"Sixth Master Yixin" Zaifeng seemed to be silently chattering, and then raised his head and said very bluntly: "Who in the royal family can take on this great responsibility?" “

Ye opened his heart.

"Back to the regent's words, the minister thinks that the Duke of Zeguo can take on this great responsibility."

Ye Kai finally said this long-brewing name, in a sense, Ye Kai's humble background is both an advantage and an advantage, others will not involve him and the royal family at all, and he will not scruple to express his intentions.

"Zaizawa?"

Hearing this, Zaifeng suddenly frowned.

In his heart, Yu Lang who formed the Praetorian Guard was more suitable, he thought that Ye Kaihui, who was a colleague, would say this, and then it might be the old and powerful Prince Su Shanqi, and Zai Ze was the third at best, of course, this is a very vague feeling.

"Is that Zai Ze who shouts for constitutionalism every day?"

Zaifeng hesitated, but Ye Kai certainly wouldn't miss this opportunity to continue to persuade.

"It is the Duke of Zeguo, and the reason why the ministers elected him is because of his inclination to be constitutional."

Zaifeng doesn't understand much, he doesn't want another person around him who disagrees every day.

Zaifeng didn't understand, but Ye Kai had a clear mind, "Dare to ask the regent, does our dynasty have to be constitutional?" ”

"This is still false, the imitation of the constitutional edict has been promulgated, and it is natural to become a constitutional state."

Zaifeng frowned even more, how could a good person suddenly ask this question, isn't it obvious, constitutionalism has become a national consensus, and constitutional groups and political parties are all over the country, large and small, thousands of them, even if he wants to quit, it is too late, but Ye Kai's next sentence made his doubts instantly relieved.

"Since constitutionalism is a must, the regent doesn't want outsiders to lead the constitutional process, right?"

Zaifeng was completely speechless, and he suddenly realized that since someone had to do it, it was better for his family to do it, because the last "outsider" who dominated all this was called Yuan Shikai.

That's the guy who caused him endless trouble.

"Okay, Zai Ze is also suitable as a military aircraft." Zaifeng finally relented.

Ye Kai didn't say more, what he said just now was enough, and saying more would cause unnecessary suspicion, although this possibility had been decreasing day by day.

It was precisely because Ye Kai stopped his mouth in time and left Zaifeng a space to think independently, that he thought about it several times and felt that this candidate was becoming more and more suitable.

"You good minister knows my heart!"

Zaifeng laughed, in front of Ye Kai, he completely lost the necessary reserve and stability, this is a purely private space, counting, Zaifeng is only twenty-six years old this year, it is the age when he is young and mature, and Ye Kai in front of him is only in his early thirties.

"Liangbi is willing to work for the regent in front of the saddle of the dog, follow him for life, and would rather die than swerving."

Ye Kai wasted no time in saying that the special environment made this seemingly ungodly "loyalty" seem very real.

Zaifeng stood up and patted Ye Kai on the shoulder, not knowing what to say for a while, and finally said with a relieved face.

"Liangqing is tired of driving and horses, it's not early, you have to come to my house, go back and rest."

As a person in power, this should have been a soothing polite remark, but it was from the heart, he didn't want the latter to have a little problem, the person in front of him was the crutch he relied on to survive, and he couldn't break it, let alone decay.

Ye Kai bowed and stepped back.
