(2nd Update)

Qingwangfu, back garden. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yixuan walked around in civilian clothes, so many big things happened some time ago, inside and out, he was busy and anxious, and now, it is rare to be so idle.

Fortunately, everything is safe and sound, at present, the foreign soldiers have also withdrawn, Liang Qichao and his group have also dispersed, and the people's voices have gradually dissipated because of the "Sino-British Secret Treaty", all threats are far away, and he has been trapped in the thorn bush for a full twenty days, and he still escaped a catastrophe, just like the events of Ding You's years.

However, even so, he still exhausted himself, after all, he is over seventy years old, and his body is far less than before, so it is reasonable to seize the time to regulate his body and mind.

Beside him, there were also two juniors, one was his eldest son Zaizhen, and the other was Yuan Keding, who was known as the "eldest prince" in the capital.

"Amma, the British and French warships arrived in Weihaiwei a few days ago, rest for a few days, and will conduct drills with the sailors of the Qing Dynasty, and will evacuate in about ten days and half a month." Zai Zhen said that in the past few days, Yi Zhen has been recuperating in the mansion, and his son Zai Zhen has personally reported on all major and minor matters.

"Nothing went wrong, did you?" Yi-劻 asked.

"It's a big mess that hasn't come out, it's just... Sun Baoqi, the governor of Shandong, sent a telegram saying that the Germans had sent several ships to the Bohai Bay to monitor the drills of China and Britain. ”

"Germans, um..."

Yi took a breath, revealing a dilemma, China and Britain came together, in the end or provoked the Germans, just a few days ago, Liang Dunyan reported, the German minister sent several notes to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, asking whether there was a secret treaty between China and Britain that was circulating in the outside world, although Liang Dunyan tried his best to prevaricate, and the answer was as tactful as possible, but in fact it had acquiesced in its existence, in this regard, the British were happy, Britain and Germany have a long history of differences, either side will make the other party happy, and the "secret treaty" was accidentally leaked, And that's what they'd love to see.

"Leave him alone—" Yi-Xuan waved his hand, leaving these worries behind.

Seeing that Yi-Liao was in a dull mood, Yuan Keding said with a stitch: "My father sent a message to the prince, everything went smoothly on the sea journey, and the prince didn't have to worry about it." ”

"Oh?" Yi-Liang was really overjoyed and asked, "When will Yuan Xiangcheng arrive?" ”

"Two more months."

"Two months?" Yi-Xuan was shocked, frowned, and said, "Didn't you say last time that you had passed the Cape of Good Hope, and calculated it for a month at most, why did you run farther and farther?" ”

"That's what it was, but... My father temporarily changed his itinerary and had to stop at Hanoi Port, fearing that he would have to delay for a few more days. Yuan Keding replied.

"This Yuan Xiangcheng, how can he become more cautious when he goes out of the ocean, virtuous nephew, I hope that he is looking forward to it very tightly." Yi said as he covered his beard.

"The prince's ardent feelings, my father naturally knows, but... Hey, my father himself said, the older I get, the less reused, the longer I drift at sea, this bone is more sore, and every time I go to a place, I have to go ashore to rest for a while, but the prince can rest assured, although my father walks slower, but he is planning for the prince all the time. ”

"Tricks? Tell me, what tricks did Yuan Xiangcheng plan? Yi-Xuan asked with interest.

"For example, Liangbi!"

At the end of the two words, Yuan Keding was very heavy.

"Haha, those who know me are really Yuan Xiangcheng!" Yi-劒 laughed, "It's okay, anyway, I've been waiting for a long time, and I don't care about this month or two, you go back and tell him, tell him to go slowly, walk carefully, and when he arrives in the capital, the king will personally pick up the wind and wash the dust for him." ”

"Keding's father thanked the prince." Yuan Keding leaned over and said.

"He deserves it."

Yuan Keding was present, and Yi-Liang didn't mind saying a few more words, "When Yuan Xiangcheng comes, what position will be arranged?" ”

"My father doesn't care about the big and small officials, and it is an honor to be able to serve the prince." Yuan Keding hurriedly made a statement.

"That won't work," Yi-Kuo shook her head.

"Amma, as Yuan Junji, after arriving in Beijing, he has to be a minister of the government." Jae-jin came up with an idea on the sidelines.

Yi-Xuan looked at Zai Zhen, then at Yuan Keding, shook his head and said: "The minister of the Ministry is not worthy of him, back then, Lafayette asked me and Yuan Weiting to determine the new official system, I agreed with him that after the establishment of the cabinet, I will be the prime minister, he will be the deputy minister, in my cabinet, he should at least be an assistant minister, but now, in the position of the assistant minister, there is Xu Shichang in the front, and Zai Ze in the back, and the staff is full, which makes me worried." ”

"Lord Wang, my father doesn't care about these vain fame and fortunes, he has no official or position, but he has no constraints." Yuan Keding repeated.

"How's that going to work? We can't let down the meritorious people. ”

Yi thought for a while, patted his head, and suddenly said: "Aren't all constitutional reforms carried out now?" Okay, let's reform it again, Zai Zhen, you wait to find Xu Shichang and Liang Dunyan, and tell them that from now on, the post of minister of the North and South Oceans will be abolished, and in addition, the right of the Xinjiang minister to act cheaply will be abolished forever, and all foreign-related affairs will be under the command of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the superintendent shall not be unauthorized and arbitrary. ”

"Abolish the Minister of the North and South Oceans? Yes, my son got it. After a moment's pause, Zai Zhen nodded immediately.

"When Yuan Xiangcheng comes back, he will be the vice minister of foreign affairs first, managing the affairs of the former minister of the South and North Oceans, nephew, what do you think?" Yi-Xuan continued.

I have to say that the exact key point of Yi-Xuan's move, the reason why the Governor of Zhili and the Governor of Liangjiang are in high power is because they have the title of Minister of the South and North Oceans, and now, there is a Liangbi in the south and Cen Chunxuan in the north.

Coincidentally, now that the power is vested in the central government, letting Yuan Shikai be the new minister of the South and North Seas is really killing two birds with one stone.

"Keding's father thanks the prince for his grace!" Yuan Keding hurriedly thanked him, of course he understood the meaning of this.

"Cen Chunxuan doesn't have military power in his hands, so let's do it, first Beiyang, then Nanyang, to test Liangbi's reaction."

"The prince is really far-sighted."

Yi-劻 stroked his beard, but his heart kept echoing, Yuan Weiting listened while walking like this, he must have found something, that... What is it exactly?

Thinking to no avail, Yi-Xuan shook his head.

"Let the one on the south side run rampant for a while."

....

After living in the mansion for a few days, he went to the Wenhua Hall on the first day to work, and as soon as he arrived at the cabinet office, the Minister of Justice Dai Hongci came to the door.

"The joint trial is very important, and if the headquarters wants to come and go, it is better to go in person."

"Brother Guangru, are you going to Shanghai?"

It was a bit of a surprise. (To be continued.) )
