(2nd Update)
Things are **** and far from over. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
With a feeling of apprehension, at one o'clock in the afternoon, the members of the Constitution entered the chamber, and a new round of meetings was about to begin.
And what happened as soon as it came up, it surprised Liang Qichao and others, after what happened in the morning, the secret incident has been heard by everyone, almost replacing impeachment has become the focus of attention of the audience, and the scene is full of discussions, at this time, someone suddenly proposed to ask the Prime Minister to ask the Prime Minister about the secret agreement, and what Liang Qichao did not expect was that it was actually a member of the Zongsha Party who put forward this proposal, although the number of Zongshe was small, but after such a fuss, more than 60 centrists expressed their approval of this proposal, They seem to be more interested in the matter of secret covenants.
In desperation, Liang Qichao had no choice but to send someone to call the cabinet.
According to his consideration, the Cabinet will most not pay attention to it, because the Constitution stipulates that the Prime Minister is the first person in the government, and when questioned, the Commissioner can be present, and he does not have to come in person.
Something unexpected happened again, and the cabinet replied that at two o'clock in the afternoon, the prime minister was there in person.
And when he heard the news, Liang Qichao had an ominous premonition that this series of combination punches was all planned.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Yi Liang arrived at the hall of the Senior Minister's Yuan, and in front of nearly 200 senior ministers, he dragged his gray beard, bowed three times almost humbly, and then said with a sincere face, "The state affairs are busy, and the old and decrepit are deaf, so that you can wait for a long time, and it is difficult to feel at ease.
After that, the two sides chatted for a long time, Yi-Liao sat down, and the questioning officially began.
When asked about the secret treaty between China and Britain, Yi Xuan apologized to all the councillors with a difficult face, and then slowly explained that this matter is a secret agreement between China and Britain, which is beneficial to both countries, but because it involves a third country, the British side specially instructed not to make a big splash, and all did not make a public announcement, and the old man has always been cautious and regarded it as a top secret, so he did not announce it to the Senior Council in time.
In the following questioning, he replied fluently, saying that the two countries had already agreed on sending troops, and that Britain and France had gone to Shanghai to supply fuel and supplies to the concession, and that they had not fired a single shot, and that they could not be notified to the public because of state secrets, and that he was willing to bear the responsibility for the panic caused by the citizens as a matter of course.
Then he went on to say that the Governor of Liangjiang did not know the contents of the "Secret Treaty" of the Central Committee, so he rashly sent troops to "resist", but this also shows the bravery and fearlessness of our Chinese people, and the Governor of Liangjiang is an out-and-out loyal and good general, and the cabinet has already ordered a clear commendation, so far, the two sides have clearly understood that there will be no more such miscalculations.
In short, all unfavorable inquiries have been dissipated by a secret agreement.
Yi-Liang replied fluently, almost saying an apology three times, and his posture was so low that it was simply breathtaking, which made Liang Qichao, who was sitting in the speaker's seat, frown tighter and tighter.
Finally, Yi Liang bowed deeply and said: "Today, the secret alliance between the two countries has caused national turmoil, Yi Liang deeply feels that he has been disgraced by the country, I heard that the Information Administration Yuan has impeached me before, I am old and deaf, it is indeed difficult to take this position, if the Information Yuan informs me in writing, Yi Xuan is willing to dismiss himself." ”
As soon as these words came out, the scene was in an uproar.
Yi-Liang's almost perfect "curtain call performance" conquered everyone, and when it came to the sake, Liang Qichao knew that the impeachment was going to be aborted.
It seems to be retreating, but in fact it is advancing, and this move has made Yi-Xuan's position as stable as Mount Tai, and it is almost impossible to impeach.
Even if Liang Qichao insists on it, with the strength of the Constitutional Friends Association, he cannot be removed alone, and he will lose the support of the centrists.
"This is the radical change that the minister said?"
Liang Qichao shook his head and sighed heavily.
.....
"Dashuai, Liang Qichao sent a letter and said. Dashuai, you better see it for yourself. ”
Zhang Xiaoguang hesitated, walked to Ye Kai's desk, and quietly put the message on it.
"I know it all." Ye Kai didn't turn around, "It's not good news." ”
Last night, he received a secret report from Shu Qing'a, which said that during this time, China and Britain had frequent contacts, and according to insiders, there may be a secret agreement related to it, but the specific content is not clear.
He knows exactly what Yi is like, and yesterday's conditions, Yi Li's happy promise, may have something to do with this secret agreement.
"Dashuai, how do you reply to Liang Qichao? He said in the telegram that the matter was urgent, and that he wanted to be handsome..."
Liang Qichao was really anxious, he had never been so embarrassed, and the impeachment meeting turned into a sympathy meeting, which no one expected.
"Four words, wait and see."
Ye Kai stretched out four fingers and added four more words, "Slowly draw it"
"Yes," Zhang Xiaoguang nodded.
Compared with Liang Qichao, Ye Kai is much calmer, and even successful, his goal has been achieved, 16 million relief silver will arrive in Shanghai within a month, as for impeachment or not, it is not in his plan.
And, in the current situation, impeachment is no longer possible.
The reason why this incident can be provoked, relying on national sentiment, and now, this kind of soil no longer exists, because of the Sino-British secret treaty, China suddenly became the "ally" of the British, in front of the great powers, for a hundred years, Chinese has been the role of being beaten by anger, and the alliance with foreigners, the Chinese people dare not think about it, this undoubtedly greatly improves their own status, you know, at this time, the Chinese people, still think that the British Empire is the strongest country on the earth, to be his "friend", but some kind of great "honor", At least it proves that your country is strong.
This alone is enough to redeem the bloody collapse of public opinion.
However, for Ye Kai, all this doesn't matter, what he has to do next is the real big thing.
Sixteen million, this is enough to "change one's life against the sky", and with the foreign affairs power of the five southeastern provinces in his hands, Ye Kai's fists and feet can be opened even more.
Yi Xuan tightened up the danger of falling, and he could stretch out his fists and feet more calmly.
Of course, there is another point that should not be overlooked.
Revolutionary Party.
"Xiaoguang, change into civilian clothes at night, let's go visit someone."
Ye Kai got up and said.
