Chapter Ninety-Nine: I'm at ease when you do something
(The second more, regarding the problem that some places that are not in line with history said by book friends, I want to say that novels must always have a certain amount of imagination, for example, Zaifeng has a serious stutter, but it must not be written like this in novels)
After gaining Zaifeng's trust, Ye Kai is about to stride forward, and the power in his hands does not have to be in vain.
Before coming out of the Maoqin Palace, he and Zaifeng also discussed another issue, the results of the corruption case of Chen Bi, the former secretary of the Ministry of Posts and Communications, came out, Sheng Xuanhuai's investigation was naturally impeccable, every data was accurate to the individual and time, and the case was completely confirmed, coupled with the fact that Chen Bi was a scholar during the period, a series of reforms were implemented, which naturally angered a lot of people who had gained-benefited-benefited, most of whom were Manchu magnates, so there was such a good opportunity, and the impeachment was remitted to Zaifeng one after another. Without exception, they all demanded that Chen Bi be punished heavily in order to set an example.
Zaifeng asked Ye Kai about the handling of this matter, and the latter's meaning was also very clear, and it was important, of course, he did not do this to cater to those powerful people, but had other plans, he had only one goal, to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger, and give Yi-Liang a warning.
In this way, Chen Bi's case was over, Zaifeng vented the anger accumulated at the meeting just now on Chen Bi's head, ordered him to be dismissed from all his positions, never hired, and confiscated his family property, and filled it into the treasury, after thinking twice, Zaifeng did not order the execution, although Chen Bi himself escaped death, but also fell into a distribution to Qinghai, and he could not return unless he was edicted, considering his body and bones, that kind of wild place, there is not even a railway, and it is a place where ethnic minorities gather, basically there is no return.
At the same time, Sheng Xuanhuai, who investigated and handled this case, finally took the name of acting after the case was completed, and officially became the secretary of the Ministry of Posts and Communications, two years ahead of history, and entered the lobby of the Ministry of Posts.
Chen Bi's fate is embarrassing, but for his old boss Qing-Prince-Wang-Yi-Xuan, he can't take care of him at all, Chen Bi is already an old yellow calendar, it's not worth the risk, his eyes should look forward, and the current result is not bad.
At this meeting of the administrative office, Zaifeng really suffered a loss, Duan Fang became the governor of Zhili, and Natong was also temporarily acting for the governor's affairs, following Yuan Shikai and Yang Shixiang, the position of the governor of Zhili was once again seamlessly linked, and the Beiyang Group still held the power of Gyeonggi, in contrast, the loss of a Shangshu of the Ministry of Posts and Communications was not worth mentioning at all.
After the meeting, Yi-Liang did not go back immediately, but went to Longyu to report the matter to her.
"Duanfang?"
When he heard this name, Long Yu blurted out thoughtfully, vaguely remembering that it seemed that one of the five ministers was named Duanfang, and then the five ministers called the revolutionary party at the train station before they left the country, and I don't know if there was him.
"Queen Mother, this person is available."
Although Yi-Liang said so, but if he was to be re-elected, Duan Fang was not the first choice, at the meeting of the Administrative Office, he asked Na Tong to propose Chen Kuilong to be the governor of Zhili, but did not get the approval of others, if it succeeded, compared to Duan Fang, Chen Kuilong can be regarded as "his own person", he is Yi-Liang's godson-in-law, relying on the knot to rise to the top, however, this result is basically satisfactory.
"Since it was King Lao Qing who said it, the mourning family has no opinion."
Although Longyu has the same ambition as Cixi, she has no opinions, let alone Cixi's skills, so when she heard Yi-Xuan's proposal, she had no choice but to shout yes again and again.
Although Longyu said so, Xiao Dezhang on the side seemed to be a little reluctant, but because of Yi's face, Xiao Dezhang couldn't help but say nothing.
"The queen mother has nothing to do, and the old minister will retire immediately." Explain the most important things clearly, and Yi-Xuan asks for resignation.
"King Qing, I'm sorry for you, come on, send King Qing."
After making sure that Yi-Liao was leaving, Xiao Dezhang came over and said to Longyu: "Queen Mother, the slave thinks that Duanfang is not very easy to call. ”
"What's wrong?" Longyu looked at Xiao Dezhang with some surprise, the latter, as the person he trusted the most, even to the point of obeying his words, how could he suddenly say such a thing, "Duan Fang was recommended by King Qing, I don't think anything will go wrong, right?" ”
"Duanfang was recommended by King Qing, that's right." Xiao Dezhang didn't deny it, but his next words revealed something else, "No matter how good Duan Fang is, he is just King Qing's person, and he doesn't have much intersection with us, will he be loyal to the Queen Mother or King Qing at that time?" ”
"Since it's King Qing's person, isn't it our person?" Longyu thought very simply, since she and Yi-Liang had formed some kind of alliance, then all the resources in it should be shared by both sides. "Queen Mother, the slave was born in the countryside and knows that the closest brother will also split up, and when Zaifeng falls, someone must hold this power, and when that time comes, King Qing will still have the same heart with us? The Queen Mother might as well think about it again, when the Queen Mother is there, is this power held by her old man or by the sixth master Yixin? Xiao Dezhang lifted Cixi's example, Longyu immediately understood, nodded hurriedly, and said: "Xiao Dezi, you are reasonable, then what do you say?" ”
"You can't stay," Xiao Dezhang said bluntly.
"I'm afraid this won't be easy, we can't tear our faces with King Qing right now." Longyu was a little troubled.
"The slave knows the right thing and will not let outsiders see it, the queen mother doesn't have to be embarrassed, and this matter will be handed over to the slave." On this topic, Xiao Dezhang seems to be extremely concerned.
Since this is the case, Longyu didn't think much about it and nodded according to Xiao Dezhang's meaning. He has 100% trust in the latter and has always been obedient to his words.
One is a widow in the deep palace, and the other is a popular favorite minister, and they are extremely close to each other, so that in the wild history of later generations, the two were given some kind of special deformed relationship.
In fact, the reason why Xiao Dezhang wants to get rid of it, is completely selfish, between Duan Fang and Xiao De Zhang, there was a huge contradiction, as the five ministers who have gone abroad, Duan Fang is a new school figure, he hates the eunuch system, that it is a symbol of the barbarian country, once in front of Cixi to advocate the abolition of eunuchs, this practice is tantamount to let thousands of eunuchs completely cut off their jobs, after that, Xiao Dezhang has visited Duan Fang several times, the latter simply looks down on the eunuchs with castrations, that arrogant and powerless attitude, so that Xiao Dezhang has always held a grudge.
Thousands of troops can be stopped, villains are difficult to guard, and Duan Fang has not yet reached the position of the governor of Zhili, so he automatically entered the countdown, which saves Ye Kai's hands.
Ye Kai, who returned to Liangfu, closed the door to thank the guests, checked out in depth, and lived an ordinary life, and outsiders couldn't see anything abnormal at all.
However, the dragon diving into the sea must do something, and the first thing he did was to call Jiang Zhiqing to him, and he had a special task to explain.
Jiang Zhiqing first reported on the daily working days of the Security Bureau, including the few suggestions mentioned by Ye Kai before leaving last time, all of which were well implemented, and the sharp blade of the Security Bureau, under the leadership of Jiang Zhiqing, became sharper and sharper.
"Last time you asked you to spy on the Minister of Military Aircraft, Na Tong, how is the situation?" Ye asked.
"The people of the security department are watching day and night, who he is socializing with and where he goes. What has been done, these are all recorded, and if the principal wants it, the students will call someone to send it tomorrow. Jiang Zhiqing's answer was very concise, he knew Ye Kai's temper.
"No, I have a new assignment for you."
When Jiang Zhiqing heard this, he immediately pricked up his ears.
"Acting Governor of Natong, if you want to go to Tianjin, your people will follow, remember to keep an eye on it." After Ye Kai finished speaking, he emphasized again, "This matter is particularly critical, you must not be sloppy, and you must report to me in time if you are in trouble." ”
Seeing Ye Kai's expression of such importance, Jiang Zhiqing suddenly asked, "Then the student will go in person?" ”
"Well, I'll go tomorrow, set it up in advance, and don't make any mistakes."
That's fine, Ye Kai nodded with satisfaction, and finally patted the latter's shoulder, smiling and encouraging.
"Kai-shek, I don't have to worry about you."
