(The first update, some chapters involving the nation, politics-party, law, and separatism have been sealed, and I am considering whether to write the constitution of the fourth volume, which should be fine)

Ye Kai secretly made up his mind in his heart, no matter what, Xu Shichang could not take this opportunity to return to the capital, in his original plan, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Posts and Communications had been left to Sheng Xuanhuai as an indispensable bargaining chip, and Xu Shichang would be a big disadvantage at this time.

In the near future, once Xu Shichang returns to the political center, then Ye Kai will undoubtedly have another powerful opponent, and this person is definitely capable of causing him countless troubles.

Not only can the future plan no longer be blatantly implemented, but even the Praetorian Guard that Ye Kai relies on may be in danger, because in history, it is this person who has the military power of the Minister of the Praetorian Guard, and quietly got it into his own hands, since it involves the most core interests, Ye Kai will definitely not allow others to get involved, from this aspect, Xu Shichang can not return to the center of the political arena, no matter how familiar he is with this land.

As the minister of military aircraft in the thirty-second year of Guangxu (1905), Xu Shichang can be called a high power, influence throughout the court and beyond, after the outbreak of the Russo-Japanese War in the same year, he stepped down from the military aircraft, was ordered in danger, rushed to Fengtian to serve as the first governor of the three eastern provinces, and operated in the three northeastern provinces for many years, so, this time the Ministry of Posts and Communications Shangshu candidate discussion, Xu Shichang to have qualifications, to have experience, if he arrives, it can be regarded as a public expectation.

In addition, Xu Shichang is not only a subordinate relationship with Yixuan for many years, but also an alliance and friend with Yuan Shikai, with a close personal relationship, and at the same time with Zhang Zhidong and Lu Chuanlin also have a deep relationship, even, even Zaitao is extremely trusting of him, the two can be regarded as a pair of old friends, the political circles are so far, his influence in the military circles is not far behind, he is the general staff officer of the small station training, and the sixth town of Beiyang is the descendant he tempered out single-handedly, in short, the sleek Xu Shichang is the new and old faction left and right, and the relationship is all over the government and the opposition, No wonder people give the nickname Crystal Fox.

As the two most powerful Han politicians in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, he was able to stand still when Yuan Shikai was unlucky, which shows how deep this person's political energy is.

It is precisely because of this that Ye Kai has been busy in the past few days, so he has been preparing for this matter, and it is his only goal to make this matter yellow, otherwise when the overall situation is decided, Ye Kai can only drink the northwest wind.

The secret letter to Xiao Dezhang is a countermeasure, Ye Kai told Longyu Yixuan through it that Xu Shichang is already a well-deserved first choice, which coincides with Yi-Zhang's thoughts, and invisibly gives him a lot of confidence that he can raise this matter in person at the meeting without scruples, and at that time, even if Zaifeng strongly opposes it, the five of them are adding a general with military power to jointly exert pressure, Zaifeng is afraid that he will have to agree, right?

Therefore, in Yi-Xuan's view, as long as he says Xu Shichang's name, the situation will inevitably be one-sided.

"Xu Shichang?" Zaifeng muttered.

He is not a stranger to this person, but putting aside the question of whether the former can do it, Yixuan's answer made him quite uncomfortable, that kind of aggressive attitude, any person in power will be jealous, not to mention that the relationship between the two is not harmonious.

Zaifeng frowned, his face was like sinking water, and he seemed to have made rounds of difficult thoughts in his mind, and this change, Ye Kai naturally and clearly took it into his eyes.

"Sheng Xuanhuai can't do it, then Xu Shichang can do it!"

Zaifeng asked bluntly, this is no longer the tone of a mature politician, the twenty-six-year-old regent is far inferior to these old guys in terms of political experience, not only is his face out of place, but even a little angry can be heard in his words.

Yi-Xuan's answer is naturally calm and calm, revealing a self-confidence that is unique to him.

"Xu Shichang once served as the Minister of Military Aircraft, and served in the Ministry of Military Affairs for many years, and then governed the Northeast, with a lot of political achievements, and the world is obvious to all.

In terms of seniority and political achievements, ranking according to seniority has always been a customary rule within the officialdom, and he used such words to once again confirm the indisputability of Xu Shichang's election.

"Xu Shichang is very proficient in the rules of foreigners, and he is also proficient in foreign languages, so it is very convenient for him to return to Beijing as the head of the department."

After Shixu finished speaking, Natong continued: "Lord Xu can only have two pairs, and the regent should use it!" Use! ”

Three more people took turns to fight, Zaifeng saw it in his eyes, his eyes were almost wooden, and an invisible pressure quietly descended on Zaifeng's head, making his breathing a little helpless and short.

Zaifeng muffled, and after a long time, he pointed to Zhang Zhidong.

"Zhang Zhidong, you also tell me, how about Xu Shichang as the secretary of the Ministry of Posts and Communications?"

"Since several cardinals have recommended Xu Shichang, the old minister also thinks that this person is available."

Zhang Zhidong's words were no more or less, but they had already choked Zaifeng, and at this moment, he didn't know what to say to refute these difficult old guys, so he had to hold his breath and remain silent.

In fact, Zaifeng's questioning method was wrong from the beginning, he shouldn't limit the selection to Xu Shichang, and let the other two of the five people get off the donkey, until now, he can only be led by the nose, in front of the officialdom old fritters who have played politics for decades, Zaifeng is simply young, too young.

The Military Aircraft Department is not monolithic, but on this issue, it has reached an agreement by mistake, and as the undisputed spokesman among the five people, Qing-Prince-Wang-Yi-Xuan, plays a very important role in it.

"Let's all go down, this king will think about it again."

The diametrically opposite ending, the difficult real situation, so that Zaifeng had to end this meeting in a hurry, I'm afraid that if this continues, he will have to be forced by these people to sign the appointment and dismissal edict in person, right?

But it seems, that's all he can do

Without the opposition of Qi Shushu, the hall after the five people left suddenly became quiet.

However, Zaifeng did not recover from the shadow of that pressure for a long time, and he never spoke, looking tired.

Such a gloomy and lost look was something Ye Kai had never seen before, and it was no wonder that the five ministers of the Military Aircraft Department collectively spoke out in support of Xu Shichang, and Zaifeng immediately fell into isolation, he just didn't want to accept it, what could he do, in this huge country, he alone couldn't sing a one-man show.

"Liangbi, you've seen it all." Zaifeng sighed tiredly, he didn't look at anyone, but leaned his back slightly forward, his arms pressed against the table, so as to support his increasingly weak body and a heart full of frustration.

"After all, I'm the regent of the prison country for others to see"

In front of Ye Kai, Zaifeng finally sighed with true feelings, that kind of heartless expression is like the current Qing Empire, in a dilemma, if he wants to change, he must have enough power, but this power has never been able to grasp tightly in the palm of his hand, he struggled to fight for it, but it was a passing cloud, and he grabbed the air.

Zaifeng's frustrated expression Ye Kai naturally saw it in his eyes, he didn't have any comforting tone, and even said with a hint of mockery.

"Liangbi really doesn't know where the regent's worries come from?"
