"Is the old man a fool? How could he agree to such a request? Once the court has established a constitution, there will be endless troubles. In the future, the country will still be Aisin Gioro. The old man is smart for a lifetime, so why is he confused at this time?"

"Yes, now the Han ministers are in trouble. The southeastern land only knows that there is a governor, but not the court. If the constitutional system is implemented, wouldn't it be defeated sooner or later the foundation of our ancestors?"

"I think Yuan Shikai's intention is not to drink, it is clearly a jealous intention. In the name of constitutionalism, the real intention is to seize power."

"Well! I have said that Yuan Shikai is a man who is a man who is a geek who looks at the wolf and has a look of a rash person. He cannot give him military power. He will be a disaster for the country in the long run. Today, Yuan Shikai's rebellion is already in love, and he should be punished quickly. It is hateful that Yi Li and Duan Fang not only collude with Yuan Shikai, but also support constitutionalism. If it weren't for the instigation of the two of them, the Lafayette might not have been deceived by Yuan Shikai. It would be really hateful."

"I think the Lady Buddha was deceived for a while. Why not everyone go to the palace to see the Lady Buddha, cry and tell the story, and ask the Lady Buddha to take it back and make it true."

"Yes, yes, yes, I think this is very good. Prince Su, you're just saying something, what do you think?"

Prince Su Shanqi looked at everyone, shook his head, and said, "I think it's useless for us to go into the palace to ask Lord Lady Buddha. Lord Lady Buddha will never take back his life. On the contrary, he will scold us, so we should not look for this boring."

After hearing Prince Su's words, the room was in an uproar. There were 8 people present. In addition to the owner Prince Su Shanqi, the other seven were Prince Gong Puwei, Beile Zairrun, Liangbi, Puwei, Tieliang, Rongqing, Yinchang, Yulang and others, all of whom were backbone figures of the Manchu powerful faction.

On the day when the Qing court issued an order and decided to send ministers to overseas to inspect the political and economic economies of various countries, Prince Su recruited these seven people to his mansion to negotiate countermeasures. Although the Manchu powerful faction was severely damaged during the reorganization of military aircraft, Tieliang and Rongqing were discharged from military aircraft. There was no one in the military service office now, the Manchu powerful faction did not care much. After all, the Qing court is still the Manchus in charge, and most of the members of the Manchu powerful faction are either royal families or hereditary titles. Whether to enter the military service or not, they have a huge influence on the government affairs.

The Qing court was the last feudal dynasty in China. Although it basically inherited the political system of dynasties in China, it was still somewhat different from the dynasties established by the Han people because it was a country established by ethnic minorities. The biggest feature is that it still retains some tribal political characteristics. The Manchus as a whole have certain obligations and powers for the rule of the dynasty, and have considerable influence on the monarch.

Simply put, the emperor of the Qing court was first the chief of the Manchu tribe, and secondly the monarch of the dynasty. Therefore, the rule of the Qing emperor was the support of the Manchus' powerful people. Without this support, the Qing emperor would find it difficult to maintain his own imperial power; and the power of the Manchus' powerful people was also based on imperial power. As long as the imperial power was still there, the power of the Manchus' powerful people would be guaranteed, and both sides supported each other, forming a win-win situation. Although the Han ministers rose after the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the power of the Han ministers was mainly local, and in the center of the court, it was still controlled by the Manchus. After Xianfeng, the military aircraft leaders were all appointed by the prince, which could also be used as the consolidation of their own power by the Manchus.

The constitutional system is to limit the imperial power. Once the imperial power is weakened, the Manchus will lose the foundation of power. What will happen if the Manchus lose power will be the result of the Manchus that have lost power? Just look at the East China government's anti-Manchu actions. Therefore, the Manchus will try its best to prevent the Qing court from establishing a constitution. In short, Yuan Shikai insists on constitutionalism in order to protect himself, that is, to protect his own power and his own lives. The Manchus' powerful oppose constitutionalism, which is also to protect himself.

Prince Su raised his hand and said, "You all heard from me that constitutionalism is not that easy. Lord Lafayette only agreed to send ministers to overseas inspections, and did not say that constitutionalism should be established. Moreover, the content of the investigation is all-round, not just for constitutionalism. Therefore, I thought that Lord Lafayette could only follow the trend and sent ministers to overseas inspections first, which was a slow-tracking plan for himself. This overseas travel was at least 1 or 2 years. If there was anything happening in the country, it would not be possible to delay it until 3 or 4 years. At that time, there might be other changes in the country, and I had forgotten it long ago. You must know that constitutionalism still shakes the foundation of our Qing Dynasty. How could the Lord Lafayette not understand this principle with the essence of Lord Lafayette."

When the others heard this, they nodded repeatedly, thinking that what Prince Su said was reasonable. Tieliang said: "Prince, I think the constitutional plan this time may not be that simple. Moreover, Yuan Shikai is ill-intentioned and must be guarded against it. He should also do it very early."

Prince Su said: "It is true that Yuan Shikai has ambitions, but it is not difficult for me to get rid of Yuan Shikai. It is only necessary to have a prison officer. The real threat of the Qing Dynasty is not inside, but outside."

Liangbi said: "Your Majesty refers to overseas Chinese?"

Prince Su nodded and said, "The overseas Chinese are now openly separating and establishing their own official positions. The court is so powerful that it is more prosperous than the ones back then. This is the biggest concern of my Qing Dynasty. Moreover, as far as I know, most of the Han ministers in our court have colluded with overseas Chinese, and Li Hongzhang is one of them. He invested hundreds of thousands of dollars in Qingdao and opened two factories, which shows his intentions. Yuan Shikai also has friendships with overseas Chinese. I am afraid that the Han ministers in the court and overseas Chinese will work together to plan the Qing Dynasty."

After saying this, several people became nervous and Yinchang said, "It's true. I wonder if there is any good way for the prince?"

Prince Su said: "The same way, we must motivate the Lafayette and send troops to western Liaoning."

Rong Qing frowned and said, "Prince, please forgive me for your conspiracy. If you send troops to western Liaoning, you will inevitably have a head-on conflict with Japan, Russia, and overseas Chinese. With the current strength of our Qing Dynasty, it is difficult to have a chance of winning against a family alone, let alone one against three?"

Prince Su laughed and said, "I knew you would be worried about this. Now Russia has been defeated by Japan, so it is not enough to worry about it. Japan can rest assured that I have talked to Kawashima, the representative of the Japanese government, Nasu Kawashima, that Japan will not be an enemy of me, and that it also supports our Qing Dynasty to send troops to western Liaoning, and promised to return the land of Liaodong to the Qing Dynasty after defeating Russia."

Tieliang said: "I'm afraid that Japan has bad intentions. Maybe they are afraid that overseas Chinese will take advantage of the situation to attack Liaodong, so they encouraged the Qing Dynasty to send troops to western Liaoning to restrain overseas Chinese. We must be careful."

Prince Su said: "Yesterday, British Minister Zhu Erdian also talked to me, saying that Britain would guarantee that after the end of the Russo-Japanese War, Japan would withdraw from Liaodong and return the northeast to the Qing Dynasty. But he asked our Qing Dynasty to immediately send troops to western Liaoning to suppress overseas Chinese."

Tie Liang said: "The words of the prince and foreigners should not be trusted easily."

Prince Su said: "I also know that foreigners cannot trust their words, but now that Japan and Russia are fighting in Liaodong, if we do nothing, we can only watch our ancestors' dragon-striking land fall into the hands of Japan and Russia. No matter how foreign Chinese are, the imperial court sends troops to western Liaoning, one can suppress overseas Chinese, and the other can we take the opportunity to regain some places no matter which Japanese and Russian side wins, and it is not impossible to regain the northeast. Third, we can take the opportunity to seize military power. As long as we have military power in hand, why should we be afraid of Yuan Shikai?"

Tieliang couldn't help but feel a little moved when he heard this. He was one of the few military talents among the Manchus, and Cixi also regarded him as an important pawn to restrain Yuan Shikai. Therefore, although Tieliang stopped sending military opportunities, he still ordered him to be the Minister of War and still in charge of military power. However, Tieliang has always suffered from his lack of troops. If he could take advantage of the opportunity to send troops to western Liaoning, he would be quite attractive to Tieliang. However, Tieliang was a person with some real talents. Even if Japan and Russia would not be enemies of the Qing court, overseas Chinese were not easy to mess with. Although Tieliang was so angry that he asked the court to send troops to western Liaoning, he knew that Li Hongzhang would block it; secondly, he did not want to be enemies of overseas Chinese, but only controlled areas outside Jinzhou. If he really wanted to fight against overseas Chinese, Tieliang really didn't have the courage to do so.

So Tieliang said: "Your Majesty, everyone, I am not the prestige of overseas Chinese. With the current strength of the court, I am afraid that I will be unable to compete with overseas Chinese."

Prince Su laughed and said, "Tieliang is right, but I have made arrangements. I will tell you that I have arranged for people to sneak into Shandong to contact the gentry and village tyrants in various prefectures and prepare to raise the flag to raise the flag. In Shanghai, a group of gentry and martial arts heroes were arranged. Just when the time was right, they would make a big fuss in the Shanghai New District of overseas Chinese. It would be best to kill a few overseas Chinese. One is to let overseas Chinese know our power, and the other is to make trouble in the hometown of overseas Chinese, so that they could not separate themselves and take care of other matters. At that time, we sent troops to western Liaoning, are we still afraid of overseas Chinese?"

When the others heard this, they were all very surprised, because no one expected that Prince Su would have such a skill. Among these people, Tieliang, Rongqing and Liangbi were of some talent. At this time, they could not help but be surprised. Although Prince Su was known as martial arts in his childhood, he was far from the palace's bloodline. After becoming an adult, he did not hold important positions like Gong, Prince Chun, Prince Li, and Prince Qing. It was not until the Gengzi Reform that he served as the position of Chief Supervisor of Chongwenmen and Minister of Management Affairs of the General Administration of the Workers' Bureau. However, in recent years, in addition to winning the reputation of being an official and compassionate, he did not show any outstanding performance. He did not expect that he would have such a courage and do such a secretly.

Yulang hesitated a little and said, "Is this enough?"

Prince Su said: "Now our Qing Dynasty is in a turbulent situation and the country is shaken. As a royal family and a minister of the court, we should do our best to preserve the Qing Dynasty and overcome the crisis together. Now is a great opportunity. If we dare to take a try, we are still timid and will be timid. When the building collapses, we will be too late to regret it."

After hearing this, Tieliang couldn't help but feel proud and said, "Okay, prince, I agree with your suggestion. I have to take a try this time."

Tieliang took the lead, Rong Qing and Liangbi immediately said: "We also agree with the prince's proposal."
