Chapter Seventy-Five: Joining the Ministry of Posts and Communications

(1st Update)

"So the regent, the post of secretary of the Ministry of Posts and Communications, it is really inappropriate to let Xu Shichang be the commission." Ye Kai continued, since the dialogue has been carried out to this point, there are no scruples between the two, and Ye Kai directly expressed his doubts about Xu Shichang.

"No matter how capable Xu Shichang is, he is also a person recommended by Yi-Xuan, and he has a lot of connections with the entire military aircraft department, and he is exquisite in all directions, so I am afraid that such a person will be transferred to the capital for a disaster."

Ye Kai bluntly pointed out Xu Shichang's threat to Zaifeng, and he also secretly put pressure on the latter in this way.

"Regent, don't forget that Xu Shichang and Yuan Shikai have always been in collusion, many people in the Beiyang Army are under his orders, and people who are so well-versed in military and political circles cannot guarantee that they will not become the second Yuan Shikai."

When it came to Yuan Shikai, Ye Kai's volume deliberately increased a little, and when he said this, Zaifeng's eyelids jumped obviously, there is no doubt that the three words Yuan Shikai touched the greatest taboo in his heart, just one Yuan Shikai gave Zaifeng a headache, and it took a lot of effort to dare him go, and now if Xu Shichang is transferred back, it is tantamount to finding guilt for himself.

Zaifeng nodded approvingly, and then asked, "Liangbi, who do you think is suitable to be the secretary of the Ministry of Posts and Communications?" ”

"Sheng Xuanhuai" Ye Kai didn't think about it, and directly gave his answer.

"Sheng Xuanhuai? Just now, Na Tong said that this person is exaggerated, and it is useless. Zaifeng looked at Ye Kai, and that look was asking the latter for an explanation.

And Ye Kai will certainly not disappoint Zaifeng, his reasons are very good and very convincing, as long as he splashes all the dirty water on Yi-Xuan, Sheng Xuanhuai's black history will be small and insignificant, but whenever it comes to political struggle, all negative news will be covered up.

"That Tong Yi has never done foreign affairs, and the second has never dealt with foreign businessmen, and it is unfair to rashly judge Sheng Xuanhuai's rights and wrongs, and besides, Yi Xuan and Sheng Xuanhuai have always been disobedient, so this slander is not enough."

Ye Kai said that this is not over, and what he will give Zaifeng next will be a reason that he can't refuse

"Does the Lord Regent remember that telegram?"

That telegram recorded the fly camp between Chen Bi and Yuan Shikai, how could Zaifeng forget?

"The King Remembers

"Chen Bi and Yuan Shikai have been in collusion for many years, everyone knows that Chen Bi has embezzled a huge amount of treasury silver, but no one has ever reported it since the dismissal of Yuan, what he is afraid of is that he is the high power of the Shangshu of the Ministry of Posts and Communications, and what he is afraid of is that he Yuan Shikai will make a comeback in the future, and settle accounts after the autumn, and now Sheng Xuanhuai is not afraid of dangers and obstacles, not afraid of rumors, and resolutely played this telegram to the regent, which shows that this person is loyal and available."

Ye Kai's words are equivalent to telling Zaifeng that whether he can become the secretary of the Ministry of Posts and Communications depends not on qualifications, not on praise, not on the so-called two pairs of talents, but on Zaifeng's personal loyalty, which is exactly what Xu Shichang did not have.

Yi-Liang counted from the officialdom qualifications, and tried his best to recommend Xu Shichang, admittedly, from any point of view, Xu Shichang is definitely the best candidate, of course Ye Kai knows this, he did not choose to fight hard, but directly jumped over this question and went straight to the deepest part of Zaifeng's heart.

No matter how old you are, no matter how strong your ability is, so what? Is it more faithful than a faithful one? The greater the ability, the more trouble there will be, and the more aggressive Yi-劀 is, the more rebellious Zaifeng will be, and the seemingly indisputable reason actually pushes Xu Shichang farther and farther.

"Loyalty?"

At this time, I'm afraid that Zaifeng is also echoing these two words in his heart, from the moment he became the regent of the prison country, his courtiers had their own thoughts, Yuan Dang, the constitutionalists, the royal family, and the governor, all of them were spitting on each other, but no one had the same heart with him, Zaifeng finally realized that perhaps this was the fundamental reason for the continuous shrinking of power.

A telegram directly ended Xu Shichang's return to Beijing, and Sheng Xuanhuai, who was not dominant, became the first choice after a series of operations and arguments.

"Liangbi, according to what you said, I hope Sheng Xuanhuai will not disappoint this king." Zaifeng sighed, and then announced loudly, "Sheng Xuanhuai temporarily takes the position of Shangshu, acting affairs of the Ministry of Posts and Communications, and after the case of Chen Bi's deficit is thoroughly investigated, he will be promoted from his original position." ”

After Zaifeng's Chrysostom was written on the edict by the Zhu pen, this letter of appointment and dismissal officially took effect, but at this moment, everything is not over yet, Ye Kai wants to take this golden opportunity and knock the military aircraft department fiercely.

"The deliberations of the five ministers are fake, the usurpation of imperial power is real, the actions of Yi-Xuan and others are really infuriating, if the regent does not plan early, such things will happen in the future."

If Zaifeng knew how to plan, he wouldn't have to worry so much, and it was precisely because of the weakness of his character that he would cause the military aircraft to be too big in the future, hesitating, looking ahead and backwards, Zaifeng has been in power for three years, and he has always been ruthless to tear his face with the military aircraft, so he will be in a half-overhead position for a long time.

"The military aircraft department has a prominent position and is in charge of government affairs, and this king is even weak even if he has the heart." Zaifeng said dejectedly, and after a long time, he looked up at Ye Kai, "Liangbi, what do you think should be done?" ”

"Since the Military Aircraft Department and the regent are not of the same mind, let's change the sincerity of a group."

Ye Kai didn't answer directly, he has always been vigilant about questions like this, according to the principles he abides by, but whenever it comes to the top of power, his meaning begins to be confused.

Every ambitious person regards power as a treasure, even Zaifeng is no exception, Ye Kai's words can't be said too explicitly, it is difficult to guarantee that the same thing will not come to his head, even if it will not be now, when Zaifeng holds power, he and the same concocted are applied to himself, and the boat of power can be overturned.

"A heart? Liangbi, what do you mean by that? ”

In fact, Zaifeng may not understand what Ye Kai meant, he just wants the latter to explain clearly, at least something specific.

"After Yuan Shikai dismissed, he asked the minister who could replace the position of the military aircraft, and the regent said at the time that Tong had talent, and it would be of great benefit to the country and the people, and he should enter the military aircraft, but now it seems that no matter how high the talent of that Tong is, it is not the same heart as the regent."

Ye Kai borrowed this vague answer to repeat the importance of loyalty again, his words were to the point, of course, he would not directly say anything to directly avoid Na Tong's kind of words, but, using the increasingly heavy weight of the word loyalty in Zaifeng's heart, he once again deepened the rift between the side attack and the military aircraft, and at the same time, it also laid the groundwork for Na Tong's tragedy in advance.

"The minister is stupid, and nothing else is clear."

At this point, Ye Kai used this sentence as a conclusion, but for Zaifeng, the meanings he said today were enough.

He waved his hand and said in a warm voice to Ye Kai in front of him.

"Liangbi, you go down."

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and when he came out of the Qianqing Palace, Ye Kai felt the restless breath of late spring, and he didn't feel any discomfort, but his whole body was full of comfort.

Today's results are quite fruitful, if nothing else, Sheng Xuanhuai will join the Ministry of Posts and Communications, with his help, the conspiracy gears conceived by Ye Kai will be buckled one after another, and the faster and faster they roll.

Tomorrow he will return to the barracks, and Ye Kai, who was standing in front of the Qianqing Gate, looked back for the last time, the sky on the roof of power was so blue that people could not see the slightest trace of deceit, soft and bloody.

Military Aircraft Division

His gaze finally fixed on the small room, and after a long time, he spoke softly.

"Yi-yi, Yi-yi, let's put away your old people-politics-governance."

No matter how big the constraints are, don't forget that he is still the only legal regent, and what about the power, in the imperial era, the imperial power has never been capped.
