(The first shift is coming, and the second shift is going to be at night, but no matter what, at least two shifts a day must be guaranteed.) Properly, in addition, thank you for the list of officers of the New Army in the 36 towns of the late Qing Dynasty, so detailed~)

Qianqing Palace Hongde Palace, as the Ming and Qing emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties to correct the chapter, deal with government affairs, and summon ministers of an important place, this palace has always been the top priority, the status is not trivial, in a sense the person sitting here is equivalent to the emperor.

Zaifeng, who is dressed in regular clothes, sits on the treasure chair, and above his head is the "Fengsan Selfless" plaque of Qianlong's handwritten imperial book, which means to encourage future generations of monarchs to govern in public service, and to be selfless, this more than a month, Zaifeng has indeed done it, every morning from the regent's palace rushed here to correct the recital, until the evening from the Shenwu Gate back, he used practical actions to practice his deathbed promise to the Empress Dowager Cixi, trying to save the empire with high-intensity diligence.

However, after today's imperial meeting, he was unable to concentrate on the vast government affairs, and kept weighing the two books in his hand, which seemed to be getting heavier and heavier.

Zaifeng pinched his sour brow a little tiredly, indeed, the title of regent of the prison country brought him a status above all others, but at the same time, it also brought a heavy mountain of pressure, he had not yet tasted the supreme superiority brought by the supreme power, and the pain of the empire everywhere kept him awake at night, and in a month, the governors from all over the country flocked here like snowflakes, some asked for money, some wanted power, and even wanted to negotiate the signing of a treaty from the day he was declared a regent and a supervising state, All kinds of troubles plagued this supreme head of the empire, who was only twenty-six years old this year.

However, these troubles are still far away for the time being, and now the power reshuffle within the central government is in full swing, and all the contradictions are concentrated on Yuan Shikai alone in various compromises and struggles, in order to hold the power in his hands more steadily, Zaifeng decided to give priority to getting rid of Yuan Shikai, and the impeachment chapter in his hand is the best excuse.

However, something that greatly unexpected happened to him, although he was prepared, he still obviously underestimated the influence of Yuan Shikai and the huge interest group behind him, and the two sides of the imperial meeting were almost equal in opinion, which made Zaifeng, who was sitting on the emperor's throne, look hot, and in embarrassment, he had to stop the meeting, and a not very elaborate premeditation ended in nothing.

The ending of the meeting made him a little unbearable, reaping the consequences, and losing face were all trivial matters, Zaifeng clearly realized at that moment that there was a deeper crisis than killing a powerful minister, and the huge power vacuum left by the death of the Empress Dowager Cixi was not made up by him, the regent who was ordered to supervise the country, at least, not now.

Although he was a little reluctant to recall the unpleasant quarrel that happened in the Qianqing Palace just now, the sense of oppression brought about by power and identity still made him have to hold up his spirits and make the last consideration and consideration before the imperial power became a rubber stamp for his Yuan.

"Regent, everyone has arrived." The eunuch on the side ran in from the outer hall, slowed his steps, and whispered carefully.

"Pass them in." Zaifeng waved his hand, exhaled a somewhat depressed breath of air, straightened up and sat down in his chair, trying to greet the incoming minister with a calm expression.

"See the Regent of the Prison Country!"

The important ministers came in from outside the hall and were about to kneel down as usual, when a voice from the emperor's seat stopped them.

"Okay, it's all your own family etiquette, it's free, look at the seats."

The eunuch beside Zai Feng Chong commanded, and he impatiently stopped these meaningless and cumbersome rituals, and stared in front of him, with a vague rush of light in his eyes.

The present were all royal nobles and Manchu ministers, led by the Ministry of War Shangshu Tieliang, the degree branch Shangshu Zhenguo Gong Zaize, the Ministry of Civil Affairs Shangshu Su Prince Shanqi, followed by the Minister of Agriculture and Industry Bei Zi Pulun, Prince Xiaogong Pu Wei, the Navy Preparation Minister Beile Zaixun, the infantry commander Beile Yulang, the Minister in charge of the Praetorian Guard Beile Zaitao, and the military scholar Liangbi who was named and summoned by the regent at the end, although they are not monolithic, but in the matter of getting rid of Yuan Shikai, they can barely be counted as their own people.

"Qiyu Regent, this Yuan Shikai must be killed! If you don't kill him, Yuan Shikai will become bigger in the future, who will help him, when the time comes, will the Qing Dynasty be surnamed Yuan or will we love Xinjueluo? ”

The first to speak was the always open-mouthed Xiaogong Wang Puwei, the eldest grandson of the famous devil's sixth grandson, who has always been a die-hard member of the imperial family, and his attitude is extremely firm and clear-cut when it comes to sensitive issues involving the distribution of power between the Manchus and Hans.

Pu Wei's toughness was like an uncompromising giant cannonball smashed into everyone's chest, and the seat began to discuss, all of this Zaifeng saw in his eyes, and his heart was not very calm, kill? How to kill? What crime to kill? Who will kill? A series of questions kept running around in his heart, and this somewhat bloody word suddenly reminded Zaifeng of what Zhang Zhidong said at the imperial meeting, "The lord Shaoguo is suspicious, and the regent should not kill the minister!" ”

calmed down a little, Zaifeng pondered for a moment, and said, "Prince Gong will continue to say anything he has to say." ”

This always unruly Xiao Gong Wang couldn't wait for a long time, and got Zaifeng's permission, he continued: "This Yuan Shikai trained the new army, ran foreign affairs, and sought new policies, all of which were aimed at our royal family, saying that it was for the Qing Dynasty, and in the eyes of this king, it was just a fame and reputation, can such a person not be killed?" ”

Pu Wei paused, his eyes became a little vicious, his eyes looked around, and finally looked at the regent of the prison country who was high above, "You can only use extraordinary methods to treat such a person, when Ao Bai was in power, the Holy Ancestor was only thirteen years old, don't you still get rid of Ao Bai." As soon as Pu Wei's words came out, the boiling voices came one after another, his meaning was self-evident, that is, to follow Kangxi's example to kill Aobai, if it didn't work, he would be secretly executed, and afterwards he would find a reason casually, and the killing of Yuan would naturally become justified and reasonable.

Pu Wei wouldn't have thought that the moment he heard these words again, Zaifeng was not excited and shuddered, the secret killing of Yuan was equivalent to a coup d'état, and the Xinyou coup, the Wuxu coup, and the Gengzi coup were not swords and swords, but the blood of the empire was consumed?

"The minister also agrees with what Prince Gong said, and the thief Yuan will be punished." When Zaifeng was thinking about it, the voice of Shang Shu Tieliang of the Ministry of War came from the seat, full of soldier-like neutrality, "Although the imperial court has removed Yuan Shikai's right to transfer troops, the power in the Beiyang New Army is still there, and in the long run, the Beiyang Army will inevitably be big, and if Yuan Shikai is not purged, this Beiyang Army is still his Yuan Family's army." "For the command of the six towns of Beiyang, Tie Liang and Yuan Shikai fought to the death back then, involving real power in their hands, and Tie Liang, who has always been upright, doesn't mind taking advantage of this opportunity to add fuel to the fire.

Zaifeng didn't show his attitude, his eyes turned to the other side, "What do you mean, Zhenguogong?" ”

Zhenguo Gong Zaize who was sitting in the second row stood up and said with a firm face: "Return to the regent, kill Yuan Shikaichen seconded, this huge branch is his old team of Yuan Shikai, if you don't kill Yuan Shikai, the minister's branch is an empty shell, and sooner or later, our Qing Dynasty's money bag will become his Yuan Shikai's own money bag." ”

After saying this, Zaifeng also nodded, "I've heard about this too." ”

"Prince Su?"

Zaifeng looked at Shangshu Shanqi of the Ministry of Civil Affairs sitting in the first row, as an old-iron-hat-son-king in the royal family, his attitude should not be underestimated.

"People say that this Ministry of Civil Affairs is a new ministry, and it was founded by Lord Yuan, but without the grace of Lafayette, this new ministry can be built? His Yuan Shikai's ability to be so smooth? Hey, Lafayette is looking away this time, "Shanqi's words can be said to be hidden needles, sighing and saying, he doesn't seem to have an easy time in the appointment of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

"Zaitao, Zaixun, you say." Finally, Zaifeng's two hot brothers.

"Brother thinks Yuan Shikai has to die!" Without dragging the mud and water, the two young people replied in unison.

"So, everyone thinks this Yuan Shikai should be killed?"

Zaifeng raised his head and took a soft breath, his eyes scanned for a week, and finally landed on Liangbi, who was sitting at the end, and from beginning to end, he was silent and became the only silent lamb in the hall.

"Liangbi, do you also agree that Yuan Shikai should die?"

Ye Kai, who had watched the show for a long time, finally came back to his senses, and hid all the usual sharp alerts as he had thought in advance, and then stood up with a flattered face, deliberately stammering his words.

"Back to the regent's words, Liangbi can only train soldiers, and he doesn't understand military affairs, so he doesn't dare to comment in front of the princes."

"But it doesn't hurt to say it, it's all the humerus of the court sitting here." Zaifeng said with relief, thinking that it was the first time for Liangbi to participate in such a closed-door meeting, and he had some stage fright in front of the important ministers of the court.

"The Ministers Listen to the Regent's Ministers"

Ye Kai looked around with embarrassment, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and made a look of wanting to speak and stopping, but while performing hard, his keen afterglow always looked at the regent of the prison country.

Ye Kai counted the seconds in his heart, and after a pause for a moment, finally, Zaifeng's command voice came from in front of him.

"Okay, that's it for today, Liangbi will stay for the time being to play the affairs of the Praetorian Guard, and the others will disperse."

At a certain moment, Ye Kai admired his acting talent on the political tightrope, from every minute and every second of stepping into this room, Ye Kai was using the most innocent and compassionate gaze, step by step to drive the imperial regent forward, take two steps, take two steps forward, and fall into his sweet trap little by little, Ye Kai showed the world with careful thoughts and a smile on the corner of his mouth: he is not a hunter, but a fox that catches his kind.
