Chapter 197: Who's the Speaker?
(1st Update)
With the tiger skin banner of Yi-Xuan, the petition movement soon died down, and the shaking people's hearts quickly settled down, since their goal has been achieved, there is no need to wave the flag and shout, the southeastern provinces have lifted the anti-tax order, and the demonstrations around the country have also been canceled, replaced by large-scale celebration ceremonies, the streets and alleys of the capital are hung with the Yellow Dragon Flag, in order to commemorate the hard-won new cabinet, and Yi-Liang also pushed the boat down the river, ordered the national holiday for three days, countless people are looking forward to a blueprint for tomorrow, A new era seems to have arrived.
To whom, of course, does this era belong? Everyone has a different understanding, Yi-Xuan thinks it is his, while the parliamentarian thinks that they are the mainstay, when the two parties show a little different trajectories, parting ways is the inevitable result, after all, there is only one piece of the cake, and the "honeymoon period" cannot last forever.
On the second day after Zaifeng handed over power, the Senior Administration Yuan also announced the reopening of the house, and there were still many backlogs of bills, and they threatened to "fulfill their responsibilities" to the end, but the meeting had not yet been officially convened, and everyone was faced with an extremely embarrassing problem.
There is no Speaker of the Senate.
The original speaker Pu Lun quarreled with Zaifeng and was dismissed from the position of president, and the deputy speaker Shen Jiaben was also afraid of this troubled water again, announcing that he would not go out, plus there were too many interests to be balanced, this position was really difficult to do, and all kinds of reasons added up to cause the speaker to always hang a vacancy card, and there was no speaker to preside, and the normal conduct of the meeting was of course impossible to talk about.
At a time when everyone was at a loss, there was a murmur among the legislators, in this petition movement, in addition to Yi Xuan, there is another person, and this person, many of them are extremely familiar, if you want to invite him, the Senate must have prestige and prestige, and have a reputation and reputation, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds.
In this way, when Ye Kai was sitting quietly in the study in the afternoon of this day, he suddenly heard such news.
"Master, that Sun Hongyi came to the door with dozens of people." Han Chun'er whispered that Ye Kai was taking a nap, and when he heard this, he opened his eyes.
"Tell them to wait a moment, and I'll be right here."
Ye Kai came to the spirit
"Bolan, I haven't seen you for a long time, how can you have the kung fu to come to me?"
As soon as Ye Kai appeared, more than two dozen people in the living room stood up in unison and saluted him.
"The constitution has been completed, and the good public has made meritorious deeds, which is really a model for my generation."
Ye Kai waved his hand and said with a smile like a spring breeze: "All the parliamentarians are seated, you are the foundation of constitutional government, and Liangbi is not worth boasting about, not worth boasting about." ”
Ye Kai shook his head vigorously, but all the parliamentarians came forward to congratulate, they were sincerely admiring, after all, the former was in order to force Zaifeng to make concessions, and resolutely resigned from the high-ranking official Houlu, ask yourself, few of them have the guts.
In the end, Sun Hongyi said: "The people are the first, the king is light, and the society is secondary, just imagine if the good duke respects the will of the monarch and waving the army into Beijing, then there will be a river of blood, the people will suffer, and the great cause of constitutional government will not know how long and how long it will take to be realized. ”
"Bolan is serious, now that he is a certain cloth, there is no official and no lord, these things have long been out of my mind." Ye Kai shook his head with a smile, acting very casually, and joked to everyone during the period: "Bolan, you see, my sleeves are full of breeze." ”
Sun Hongyi arched his hand with admiration, and then he continued: "If a good man doesn't want to do another effort for the people? ”
"The constitution is established, and the new cabinet will be formed immediately, and in the future, the country will be peaceful, and the people will live and work in peace and contentment. Ye Kai said vaguely, since do you think that constitutionalism is a panacea, then take two more pills a day.
"Don't hide it, Liang is mostly in the military camp, and it is rare to get together with his family, but now that he is free, he can enjoy some more family fun."
Seeing that Ye Kai's attitude was a little ambiguous, everyone began to show urgency, Sun Hongyi took a moment in his heart, and couldn't help but speak bluntly.
"Good Prince, don't hide it, we are here today to ask Liang Gong to come out of the mountain again and preside over the overall situation of the Parliament, and now the Senior Minister's House has reopened, and everything is waiting to be rebuilt, and the position of Speaker is none other than an enlightened person like Liang Gong."
After hearing this, Ye Kai also said bluntly: "I'm not suitable. ”
The people who were full of anticipation got such an answer.
"Lianggong thinks about it again, this is a matter for the benefit of the people, the merit is in the present generation, the benefit is in the future, and the good man must not shirk!"
"Liang's ambition is strong, and he has disappointed the parliamentarians."
Ye Kai said apologetically, everyone was full of confidence when they came, but they didn't expect this to be the situation one by one, but although they were rejected, they admired Ye Kai himself even more.
"Members of parliament, don't be discouraged, although Liang is weak, there is someone more suitable than me."
"Is there a suitable person for Lianggong?" When everyone heard this, there was a turning point.
"Indeed, this person is Liang Qichao." Ye Kaidao.
"Liang Qichao?!"
Hearing Ye Kai's recommended candidate, everyone's eyes widened, suitable, just too suitable, how famous Liang Qichao is, who in the whole country doesn't know, if he can become the chairman of the senior council, it will also be an excellent choice, but after thinking about it, the question comes again, Liang Qichao has been in exile overseas for many years and has just returned to China by ****, this thankless errand, will he agree?
As if knowing what everyone was thinking, Ye Kai said in time: "Don't hide it from you, in a few days, Liang Zhuoru will be in the capital, and when the time comes, Liang will personally go to the banquet, and all the councilors can also be present to welcome them. ”
"Is this true?"
Everyone was stunned for a second or two, and then ecstasy.
"Good, good! When Liang Qichao comes, we will definitely be there to welcome! ”
Ye Kai nodded.
"Lianggong, there is a lot of trouble today, we are leaving." Everyone clasped their fists in thanks.
"Slow down, everyone"
Ye Kai smiled and said goodbye.
As soon as a group of parliamentarians left, Han Chun'er rushed out of the back hall and leaned into Ye Kai's ear and said.
"Master, Yi-Liang sent someone to ask the master to come to the house to discuss matters."
"Oh? What's up? ”
"I said that I drafted a list of cabinet candidates, and asked the lord to help the senators."
"When did Yi-Liang become so generous."
Ye Kai sneered and shook his head, after a little calculation in his heart, he understood the origin of the matter, it seemed that he already knew about the new official system, which was an expected reaction.
"Hmph, the senate is fake, but the show of strength is real, right?"
"Chun'er, prepare the car!" Ye Kai commanded. (To be continued.) )
