(2nd Update)

The main entrance of the palace was slowly closed, the eunuchs were all sent out, and there were only two people left in the huge Hongde Palace, only two people, which means that any kind of secret can circulate in this secret room, and will not flow into the third ear.

"Liangbi, if you have anything to say, you can say it directly, you have stayed in the ocean, and you are a talented person in our Qing Dynasty."

Zaifeng straightforwardly pierced the subtle atmosphere between the two of them, if he couldn't even see this kind of little trick of avoiding the truth and making up for it, he, the regent, really didn't have to be the regent.

"What the minister wants to say just now is that the regent takes the regent for the monarch and exercises the imperial power on his behalf, and the minister listens to the regent in everything." Ye Kai still had an old tone, and the deliberate excuse really made Zaifeng's face on the opposite side slightly intriguing.

"Okay, let's leave this to the people outside." With a soft sneer, Zaifeng was a little ignored.

"The minister doesn't dare to deceive the regent, what Liangbi said is true." Ye Kai said step by step the truth that he would never be wrong, but he also reached the point, and when the other party couldn't help but be angry, the high-sounding sound in Ye Kai's mouth turned a slight arc: "Liangbi thinks that the princes are right, but he feels that something is wrong, Prince Gong killed Yuan for the honor of the Wang family, Tie Shangshu killed Yuan for his military power, Zeguo Gong killed Yuan for the degree branch under his rule, Prince Su killed Yuan for the face of his Ministry of Civil Affairs, Liangbi was thinking about what the regent killed Yuan for?" ”

"Even?" Zaifeng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he seemed to hear a slight difference in the same words.

"Then why do you say that this king killed Yuan?"

Looking at Zaifeng, who was raised with interest, Liangbi breathed a sigh of relief, and then said categorically: "It is not easy for our Qing Empire to last forever, and the imperial power will be eternal!" ”

"Country, country, naturally there is a country first, and then there is a home, without the Qing Dynasty, without our emperor, how can there be Prince Gong? Degree branch? Civil affairs? Beiyang Army? ”

"But it seems that only Liangbi knows this reason, the princes are thinking about their own mansions one by one, and who really thinks about it, why did the regent risk the opposition of his ministers to plot to kill Yuan?"

Ye Kai's face was heartbroken, and the more he spoke, the more excited he became, as if he was the only minister who worked hard for the foundation of the empire, and in the end, Ye Kai directly fell on one knee on the ground, and shouted in a deep voice: "The slave said a big disrespectful word, Yuan Shikai is easy to remove, and the left and right are just a matter of an edict, the emperor has just ascended the throne for more than a month, and the power of the regent is not stable, but who can guarantee that the princes who are conclusive are not the next Yuan Shikai?" ”

Ye Kai's words or Ye Kai's performance deeply shocked Zaifeng, who was still relaxed just now, and in a trance, he only felt that every word said by the other party seemed to be impeccable, although every sentence was extremely incendiary when he thought about it, but under the special environment, no one would carefully investigate the logic of the assertion.

At the end, Ye Kai lowered his head to the ground, and added like a dog: "Therefore, the ministers said that they all listened to the regent, but they didn't dare to adulterate at all." "Everything is settled, the first stage of the performance ended perfectly, Ye Kai quietly waited for Zaifeng's reaction, I have to say that exaggerated performances sometimes do add points.

Zaifeng straightened up, looked at Ye Kai who was lying on the carpet, and slowly showed a smile on his face, which had been a little worried, waved his hand, and commanded softly: "Get up and speak, there are no outsiders here, no need to be formal, come and sit in front of this king." ”

"Prince Su and Prince Gong, they are all humerus of the court, important ministers of the country, everywhere is like you said!" Zaifeng asked symbolically, and if he said lightly, it didn't hurt or itch.

The regent said so, Ye Kai naturally wanted to give him the steps, smiled in his heart, and said with a panicked nonsense on his face: "Yes, yes, the ministers just now are talking nonsense, nonsense."

The relationship is brought closer in every word, and the next step is to talk about some serious things.

"The regent seems to have some concerns about killing Yuan?"

Ye Kai asked cautiously, of course he knew in his heart that the two imperial helmsmen who had reached the pinnacle of power at the age of twenty-six, Zaifeng was far from the thunderous means of killing the eight auxiliary ministers at the beginning of the Empress Dowager Cixi's power, to some extent, it was his indecision that buried the Qing Dynasty, and when the empire fell apart on the eve of the collapse of the Qing Dynasty, the last regent of the Qing Dynasty had to hand over all power gloomily, I don't know if he regretted that he did not have the heart to kill the gravedigger of the empire.

"Why do you say that?" Zaifeng didn't answer directly, and he was still a little measured when it came to the most core questions.

"The minister just thinks that since the regent has summoned a group of ministers to the Hongde Palace, after several inquiries, the regent has never expressed his position, and the minister guesses that it is because what they said is not the answer that the regent wants."

A little surprised by Ye Kai's accurate speculation, surprise flashed on his face, Zaifeng sighed slowly, and said a little seriously: "Liangbi, you guessed right, all the ministers of the Military Aircraft Department did not support the killing of Yuan, and this king can't just go his own way." ”

Sure enough, the biggest resistance still comes from the Military Aircraft Department, and the only one who can stand side by side with Zaifeng at the top of the imperial power pyramid is the Military Aircraft Department.

"In the military aircraft department, Qing-Prince-Wang Yixuan has long been in collusion with Yuan Shikai, and the two ends of the world's only promise are unbearable, although Zhang Zhidong is upright but confused with the severity and severity, Lu Chuanlin is old and long-looking, I am afraid that he will die, and no one in the entire military aircraft department makes this king satisfied."

Zaifeng did not hide the depression and helplessness in his heart, in order to strengthen the exclusive dignity of the monarchy, the carefully designed department will one day become the biggest constraint to tie up the imperial power, perhaps, only at this time, the Minister of Military Aircraft has truly achieved the true prime minister of "military affairs, not in charge".

"Also, eight out of ten of these excerpts are interceding for Yuan Shikai, Yuan Shikai hasn't done much, they have pointed fingers for this king." Pointing to the stack of folds piled up on the desk, Zaifeng's face finally ignited a long-suppressed anger, he really wanted to throw all these folds into the palace toilet, anyway, they were all the same smell.

"What do foreigners say?" Ye Kai asked cautiously on the side.

"Huh, foreigner?" Zaifeng finally couldn't sit still, his face was completely darkened, and his voice became fierce: "This morning, the ministers of Britain, France, Germany, and Russia took turns to send notes to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, asking how Yuan Shikai was doing, and now they are all urging to reply." ”

Feeling the uncontrollable excitement spreading everywhere in the air, Ye Kai understood that at this moment, this atmosphere was most suitable for the rapid fermentation of the seeds of conspiracy.

For this powerful Qing court minister, Ye Kai certainly won't let him easily fall victim to politics, if that's the case, it would be a pity.

"Since foreigners like Yuan Shikai so much, let him go to foreigners." Ye Kai said.

"What do you mean?" Zaifeng turned around, a little bit unable to understand Ye Kai's words.

"What the minister means is that getting rid of Yuan Shikai doesn't necessarily have to kill Yuan Shikai, a few days ago, Yuan Shikai didn't talk about the exchange of ambassadors between the Qing Dynasty and the United States, just let him go to the United States as an ambassador plenipotentiary, first, if you don't kill Yuan Shikai, the regent will sell a great favor to those Yuan Dang, and secondly, there is no Beiyang Department, there is no military aircraft department, across the ocean, he Yuan Shikai will be blind no matter how many hands and eyes go to the sky, and the regent will not have to bear the notoriety of killing ministers, killing three birds with one stone, the regent will be safe."

Ye Kai ended the political life of this powerful minister in the safest way, Zaifeng and Ye Kai showed a satisfied smile to each other, at this moment, Zaifeng thought of the story of Yongzhengye and his henchman Li Wei's acquaintance, he thought that the two of them found each other blindfolded, at least half of them benefited from their own insight, but the invisible rope was firmly held in Ye Kai's palm, guiding him to an unknown direction.

"Just according to Qingqing's words! Come to the person, immediately draft the purpose. A loud voice echoed in the secret room, and a good deal was finalized without danger.

(Regarding Zaifeng's motives for getting rid of Yuan Shikai, many people think that he is to avenge his brother Emperor Guangxu, but this view is not very tenable, first, Emperor Guangxu is thirteen years older than Zaifeng, Guangxu entered the palace at the age of four, forced by the royal etiquette, the two have hardly met since childhood, there is no brotherly affection, the two are not born to the same mother, second, according to the diary of later generations, it is impossible for Guangxu to see Zaifeng when he was imprisoned in Yingtai, and it is not established to kill Yuan, so Zaifeng killed Yuan Shikai mainly for the purpose of seizing power. ）
