"The old minister see the regent."

"Excuse me, sit down."

After entering the door, which I hadn't seen for a long time, I worshipped, saluted, and sat down, each of which was in accordance with the etiquette system, without a little transgression.

I hadn't seen this Yi-Liang for almost a month, and both Zaifeng and Ye Kai were slightly surprised, and his sudden visit seemed to indicate that something important was happening.

"King Qing suddenly entered the palace, what's the matter?" Zaifeng asked.

"At the meeting of the administrative office a few days ago, the ministers discussed a very important issue, whether to implement it, and asked the regent to decide." Yi-劻 behaved very politely.

"What's the matter?" Zaifeng opened his eyes.

"Eliminate the infantry and lead the yamen." Yi further explained: "This was originally supposed to be implemented a few years ago, but then the Empress Dowager died of a critical illness, and this matter has been put on hold, and now the political situation is stable, both inside and outside, and the ministers of the old ministers and the administrative department feel that this matter can be carried out." ”

After listening to Yi-Xuan's narration, Zaifeng lowered his head and thought about it, the stakes were very high, and he couldn't decide right away in such a short time.

"Regent, according to the progress of the new policy, after the establishment of the police station and the anti-smuggling bureau, the infantry yamen is already useless, there are so many places to spend money, the imperial court cannot raise more than 30,000 people in vain, and the opinion of the ministers is that they must be cut."

"The old minister only relayed the words of the ministers, and it was up to the regent to decide whether to implement it or not." Yi-劀 three or two sentences will shirk his private intentions cleanly.

Zaifeng was also a little embarrassed for a while, he looked at Ye Kai next to him, "Liangbi, what do you think of King Qing's proposal?" ”

Yi-Xuan's eyebrows also rushed to Ye Kai, he had heard before that the latter and Xiao Dezhang had an inextricable relationship in private, and he didn't know which side he would be on this time.

"The minister thinks that King Qing's proposal is very suitable, a few years ago I heard that the imperial court is going to cut the infantry yamen, I don't know why it has not been implemented, since the court does not implement the new policy, it can not be afraid of difficulties, even the six departments have changed the façade, and the infantry yamen is not too late to be abolished."

Ye Kai's words made Yi-Liang secretly happy in his heart, which would undoubtedly add a chance of victory to the whole plan.

"Then it's accurate!" Zaifeng hesitated for a moment and finally nodded in agreement.

Zaifeng's decision was soon made public in black and white, and he had no reason to oppose this reform measure that was conducive to strengthening his powers and streamlining his institutions, and Yu Lang, as the commander of the infantry yamen, also agreed, but some people didn't know what to think.

It's tantamount to robbing them of their cake.

Since the implementation of the New Deal, the privileges of the Eight Banners aristocracy have been continuously compressed, and the originally noble banner has gradually become commoner, and the Qing court is more inclined to let them be self-reliant in order to alleviate the growing tension of ethnic relations and financial burdens, however, this has invisibly touched their interests and caused the upper echelons of the ruling class to drift away from morality.

The original hard establishment, the iron rice bowl once ceased to exist, and the infantry yamen personnel who originally relied on the state finances to survive suddenly had no source of livelihood, looking at the old Eight Banners who were crowded in the imperial city to beg, they didn't want to become this kind of goods.

Resentment accumulates bit by bit, like a raging river, holding them back only by a narrow dike, on the verge of getting out of control.

Since the day the edict was issued, a long-planned conspiracy has gradually unfolded.

On this day, when the officials of the Military Aircraft Department went to the infantry yamen to read out the decision of the imperial court, they were greeted not by understanding and implementation, but full of anger, the middle and low-level officials refused to hand over their duties, and prevented the steps of the higher authorities from counting the accounts of the treasury and prison, and the soldiers at the bottom also accumulated, put on armor, and even took out the guns in the warehouse, showing a clear attitude of non-cooperation.

The nature of the matter is serious, violent resistance to the law, this is an extremely bad behavior, blatantly against the will of the will, maybe it will be charged with rebellion, but on this issue, tens of thousands of people have been twisted into a rope, if life is a problem, who cares if the crime is serious or not?

Another reason for the resentment is that no one informed them in advance of such an important decision, and the result was put in front of them, which made tens of thousands of people accept it, and why did the supreme commander of the infantry yamen not know anything about such a big thing, and he didn't even show his face once.

The soldiers and officials in the yamen gathered in a pile to find Yu Lang, the commander of the infantry, however, coincidentally, the latter was not there.

The anger escalated, the commander "fled", they became the only people who were kept in the dark, for a while, tens of thousands of people were restless, under the bewitchment of some gray-faced people, the soldiers who lost their minds rushed to Yu Lang's mansion, and thousands of guns were mighty, and the water around the huge mansion was impassable, and the shouts came and went.

In fact, Yu Lang came back from the palace just now and was about to go to the infantry yamen to convey his intentions, but the officials of the Military Aircraft Department took the lead and revealed the news a few hours earlier, which also lit the first fire.

This is by no means a simple incident of coordination disorder, but Yi Liang has been premeditated for a long time, no matter how he is suppressed, he is still the foreman of the military aircraft, and he still controls half of the military aircraft in his hands, not only the officials who passed the decree, but even earlier, some people in the infantry yamen knew about this decision, and they mixed in the restless crowd and became a key chess piece.

Thousands of people blocked the door of the mansion, asking Yu Lang to come out, state the facts, and report to the imperial court, asking for the retraction of the order, but seeing Yu Lang in this formation, his heart was extremely frightened, even if he had the heart to appease, there was nothing he could do, he had already agreed to the regent's plan to remove, could he still regret it?

Standing on the high place of the mansion, Yu Lang's brows tightened vigorously, the crowd outside was already restless, and if they continued like this, when the emotions boiled until they broke out, what should they do if they broke through the mansion gate? That's a few thousand crazy soldiers who don't know how to learn, and they and a group of family members are going to suffer a catastrophe.

In desperation, Yu Lang urgently sent a message to the Jingshi Patrol Police Station, asking them to send someone to quickly relieve the siege, and the danger would increase by more than one point if they were slow.

The police station that received the news was also shocked, and the infantry yamen surrounded their own commander, which was an unprecedented thing, but they did not dare to take it lightly, and drew almost all the police force and hurried over.

When the "doo-too" sirens are rushing, a large-scale clearance operation is inevitable, and since it is a clearance, violence and blood are inevitable.

And blood and fire are the same color.

As the biggest promoter of the whole incident, Yi-Liang is waiting for this moment.
