(The second more,Today has been coded three chapters,The first time to write so much,The fourth chapter is as much as possible to code,The editor of the new book period greatly does not recommend writing too much.,Slippery will turn the excess into a deposit.,Wait for a few days on the recommendation to break out in a piece.。 )

At the end of the first month of the first year of Xuantong, the residual heat of the New Year had not completely dissipated, and an edict from the Forbidden City made the atmosphere in the entire officialdom suddenly hot.

Like a sudden rain of the sun, Murcha Tieliang was dismissed from all his posts in the early morning of that day, and the news was so fast that people could accept it with a little relief, "Evil and rebellious", the words used in the edict to draw a sign of the end of Tieliang's political career, and at the same time completely announced the end of the three-year Tieliang era of the War Department.

This important minister of the army, who rose step by step in order to resist Yuan Shikai, was finally suspected and rejected by the highest power because of Yuan Shikai's resignation, and throughout Tie Liang's life, it can be said that he is embarrassed.

Subsequently, a series of personnel changes were issued one after another from the Decree of the Military Aircraft Department, the Secretary of the War Department was temporarily acted by Shilang Yinchang, and the Minister in charge of the Praetorian Guard was represented by the First Commander of the Praetorian Guard, Liangbi, in addition, a series of promotion and dismissal notices were also in full swing, and this list involved a number of important positions in the Janissaries and the Military Advisory Office at the same time, but without exception, these newly appointed officers had the same identity behind them, studying in Japan.

After the baptism of the entire Qing Dynasty officialdom after the baptism of the Yuan Shikai incident, once again witnessed the gloomy exit of a powerful minister, this time Tie Liang's dismissal, although it is slightly inferior to the former in degree and strength, but this also once again confirms the same truth, the entanglement of power and position will never stop.

At this moment, if someone stays out of the matter and pays close attention to the ups and downs of Qing Dynasty officialdom, they will find that behind all these personnel changes and final arrangements, the same person will be involved, and an hour ago, this conspirator who regarded power as art appeared in the Forbidden City, the palace of supreme power

"Tie Liang is really hateful, and he still failed this king in the end."

Unlike usual, this time Zaifeng did not have the determination and decisiveness to oust Yuan Shikai, and it could be seen that his face was somewhat tired.

"Although Tie Liang is rigid and stubborn, he is still upright, but he didn't expect to be a person who forms a party and runs a private business." Just yesterday, when Zaifeng heard Zaitao's report that Tie Liang colluded with Yi-Xuan, he fell into a deep shock, Yuan Shikai and Yi-Liang are inextricably linked, and at this moment Tie Liang appeared in the Qing-Prince-Wang's Mansion, does this mean that there is a possibility that Zaifeng dare not think, what secrets are hidden behind all kinds of things? Zaifeng had a difficult night to choose, and coupled with Yu Lang's subsequent impeachment, Tie Liang's plan to remove him gradually appeared on Zaifeng's agenda.

"Tie Liang has been in the army for a long time, his roots are deep, and there are many of his cronies in the Beiyang Army, so the regent has to guard against such a person."

Ye Kai's words pressed on Zaifeng's heart like the last straw, Zaifeng shook his head gently, and then sighed slowly, and this subtle action was also keenly captured by Ye Kai.

"Regent, Tie Liang is a capable person, but he can't use a capable person, in the end, it is the misfortune of my Qing Dynasty, but in other words, he and ****** secretly communicate with each other, and they can't be spared, such Tie Liang is really regrettable." Ye Kai's words were undoubtedly very flattering, after Tie Liang stepped the shoulder buried in the soil, he let his head be exposed, Ye Kai's words were on this, and Zaifeng's face was slightly relieved.

"You're right, Tie Liang is a capable minister, and there are not many capable ministers in the Qing Dynasty." Zaifeng said softly, standing at the top of the empire, he will make a more Gianna choice, but it has little to do with Ye Kai anyway.

"Since the regent has the heart to cherish the virtuous, if he punishes Tie Liang too severely, he will let those ignorant villains take the opportunity to spread rumors, and besides, without Yuan Shikai and Tie Liang, the Beiyang Army will also have hidden dangers of change." Ye Kai said slowly, he wanted to give Zaifeng a decent step, "The minister has a way to place Tie Liang." ”

"Speak!" Zaifeng's eyes lit up and he waved his hand.

Ye Kai said slowly: "Like Yuan Shikai, first strictly dismissed from his post to show the prestige of the imperial court, and after a few months, he was appointed as the general of Heilongjiang. ”

Ye Kai's suggestion undoubtedly pointed out a path for the dilemma Zaifeng, as for whether this suggestion is to drink to quench his thirst or be far-sighted, Zaifeng can't take care of it so much, he wants to solve the contradiction in front of him first, and Ye Kai also took the opportunity to quietly transplant it into his own will, after thinking about it for a moment, Zaifeng finally nodded, "Just do as you say." ”

"Yes"

Ye Kai bowed down and said, At this point, the largest card in the War Department was thrown into the waste pile.

"How's the Praetorian Guard doing?" Putting Tie Liang's matter aside, Zaifeng asked instead.

"Back to the regent's words, everything is going well, the guns, ordnance, and horses used by the Praetorian Guard have been purchased one after another, and the minister has discussed with Tauberle Langbel that an army command post will be set up in the capital."

"Army command post?" Zaifeng was a little curious, "What is the Army Command Post?" ”

Ye Kai raised his head and explained seriously: "The establishment of the army command post is to facilitate the edict of the Praetorian Guard, the Regent, you think, this Praetorian Guard is stationed in the suburbs, so that although the regent is in charge of the Beijing Division, he can also control the entire Praetorian Guard from afar." ”

Ye Kai's words undoubtedly hit Zaifeng's mind, the latter nodded, and said with a satisfied face: "Very good!" ”

Seeing that Zai Feng was happy, Ye Kai didn't mind saying a few more words, "Things went so smoothly, and thanks to Lord Zai Ze's great help, Duke Ze didn't put a lot of effort into the money of the Praetorian Guard." ”

"Zai Ze is one of the five ministers who went abroad, and he is also the secretary of the Du branch, and his vision is still visible to the king." Zaifeng nodded, in some ways, he had a good impression of this distant relative of the royal family, especially since the latter had been doing a good job in the Du branch recently.

"The training of the Praetorian Guard is imminent, and there is no room for error." Zaifeng finally encouraged.

"Yes, the minister must be conscientious, and half a month later, he will also invite the regent to come to the Praetorian Guard Military Academy and personally deliver the precept."

"This king must be." Zaifeng waved his hand, "Let's go down"

Ye Kai walked out of the Hongde Palace, took a deep breath, the waste gas in his body was slowly spit out along the respiratory tract, and he took away his exhaustion for so many days, the matter of military power has always come to an end, for so many days, every step he has taken, it seems to be logical, but in fact, it is like walking on thin ice, cautious, the operation of power has always been dancing on the tip of the knife, until the last moment the result came out, who knows whether he was greeted with applause or a miserable end in a different place.

When the praying mantis is catching cicadas, it has to keep an eye on whether there is a yellow finch behind him all the time, Yuan Shikai is like this, Tie Liang is like this, Ye Kai wants to do the same, and there will be more people like this in the future.
