Chapter 5: The Imperial Council
(The second is a little late.,I'm sorry.,Said good night became night.,I'm really not satisfied with half of the writing and deleted it.,This chapter mainly wants to add some social markets at the end of the Qing Dynasty and so on.,Try to be involved.,Full of one.。 )
In the early morning, the city of Beijing is shrouded in a thin layer of fog, the limited sunlight is difficult to penetrate the past, and there are few people bustling on the streets, most of them walk briskly with their sleeves on, the air is still cold, and the cold wind roars like a monster.
Municipal engineering in the rapid rise of the new deal under the east wind, the capital has a modern city should have the prototype, street lights, traffic warning signs, and even zebra crossings on the flat road although it has been poured with asphalt, but such as cars such as traffic is still very rare, and far south of modern Shanghai, the car has long been not a rare thing, these new objects and the old Beijing that unique bell tower streets and alleys are pieced together, quite a nondescript sense of immediacy, as if in the vicissitudes of history in the dilemma of the empire epitomosis.
But in any case, the giant wheel of the times is irrepressibly moving forward, and will eventually drown out those spitting stars and stupid slander that defy the laws of history, no matter when there are always two kinds of people in this world, right or wrong, just like the city of Beijing in the west, some people love and some hate, those who love it like its mellow and simple, and those who hate it hate its stubbornness and immutable.
Ye Kai in the sedan chair is sitting precariously, the wide court clothes draped on the body make the whole person look a lot bloated, and the winter official hat also somewhat obscures the vision, the generals of the new army are usually wearing imitation German-style military uniforms, with military bayonets, with narrow-brimmed hats, but today these things can not be put on the table, the upcoming meeting is the highest level of the empire, every move represents the highest dignity of the royal family, and all new things cannot appear in any corner of the Forbidden City.
Chaozhu, wrench, black fox shoulder Han Cui'er prepared very carefully, Ye Kai got up in the early morning, these things were neatly placed on the clothes hanging, everything was available, and it was very worry-free.
Even so, a few wrinkles of tiredness appeared on Ye Kai's face, although on the way here, he repeatedly reminded himself that he couldn't look so tired, but after self-criticism for a while, he still couldn't keep up his spirits at all.
The sedan chair stopped outside the noon gate, Ye Kai exhaled a breath of cold wind and walked forward, in front of him, according to the official rank, the carriage and the official sedan chair were already densely lined up, and the time was calculated, the ministers who participated in the imperial meeting had already entered early, and the time was quite generous for himself, so he didn't need to hurry too much.
At this moment, the crisp sound of the whip tore through the sleeping siege of the Empire, and the clouds cracked a huge opening, and thousands of rays of light poured down from the huge crack, smearing the overlapping golden roof of the palace, whitewashing the majestic forbidden city with its glory and eternity.
Suddenly appeared in front of this scene, like a shot in the arm, fiercely poured into the arteries of the leaves, centuries of wind and rain, barren everything, but even a brick and tile here is not moved, the supremacy of power is like a totem to protect the heart of the empire, Dolgon, Aobai, Suo Etu, and Shen, Su Shun, whether it is a minister or a simple careerist, are all destroyed into a lot of white bones under the shadow of power, in an instant, as if all the tiredness has disappeared cleanly, Ye Kai shook his spirit, What is left for others is the image of a young but energetic imperial general
Sitting quietly in the side hall of the Qianqing Palace, Ye Kai was holding a cup of cooked ginseng tea in his hand, the cold air was surging outside, but the temperature here was just right, as a temporary resting place before the official start of the meeting, the conditions here were very thoughtful, after all, to be able to step forward on the ground where every brick and stone in the Qianqing Palace carried the fate of the empire, either the princes and nobles or the important ministers of the empire, naturally they could not be lazy for a moment.
With Ye Kai's official position, he naturally had no chance with the Imperial Conference, so he could only wait for the end of the Imperial Conference, and then meet the summons of the Regent.
"Father-in-law Shun, is Yuan Dajun's plane here today?" Taking a sip of tea, Ye Kai asked casually.
"Lord Yuan's legs and feet are inconvenient, so he hung up in advance this morning." The eunuch on duty in the palace moved his mouth and gave such an explanation.
The expected Ye Kai smiled silently, today's meeting was originally aimed at this high-ranking military official, it was a little strange for him to appear here, however, one thing still surprised Ye Kai, Yuan Shikai got the news too quickly, after calming down and thinking about it, it seems that everything is not surprising, the empire has never been airtight, from palace secrets to military secrets, all kinds of news are quickly transmitted in the chain of intertwined interests, and the invisible hand is playing with everything, Using the huge and even somewhat swollen bureaucratic system to serve himself, he also formed countless black rules established by treaties, and the people behind the impeachment play knew this rule, and Yuan Shikai naturally moved and seemed to be more familiar with using them.
Thinking of this, Ye Kai couldn't help but sigh a little, being able to call for wind and rain in China's 20th century history for decades, Yuan Shikai's political energy can be seen, and he shook his head helplessly, he sighed half-jokingly: "Yuan Jun's fuselage is responsible for the country, and it will really be a lot of disasters, one of his feet is on top of half of our Qing Dynasty." ”
Not caring about the coaxing in the room, Ye Kai turned around and stared at the door of the Qianqing Palace, which was always closed, through the window of mahogany flowers.
Behind that door, what kind of murderous court will be staged? What kind of game will there be? The answer seemed to be unknown, Ye Kai closed his eyes, and the pictures were accurately rehearsed in his mind.
The order of speeches of the protagonists of each faction and department, the words spoken, the focus of the controversy, the subtext full of deep meaning, and even the expressions that appeared on everyone's faces, were all clear in Ye Kai's heart, and Ye Kai, who was in the perspective of God, participated in this feast of biting in this invisible way like a puppeteer.
Perhaps it was because of the identity of the crossing, coupled with the historiographical memory that can be regarded as a treasure, that Ye Kai was beyond ordinary people in confidence and calmness.
"Babbling"
In the cold wind, the heavy palace door was carefully opened by the eunuchs, and the air that had been suppressed for a morning was dispersed, just like what happened on this day in history, everyone's face was gloomy, chattering for several hours, the meeting did not reach an agreement, and it almost became the last moment of the whole martial arts, the regent Zaifeng waved his hand, and the argument ended here, this time, there was no winner in the temple of the highest power.
The important ministers came out one after another, and they clearly formed two or three groups to leave in turn, and the smell of gunpowder gradually cooled down as the crowd walked away, and coldly stared at the court clothes embroidered with cranes and unicorns in the distance, Ye Kai knew that his opportunity had come.
"I've already mixed a cup of poisonous wine of power, I don't know who will taste it first?"
As soon as some of the tea that was still warm was drunk, Ye Kai put on the black fox's coat and stepped into the cold wind.
