Chapter 48: Old Things in the Forbidden City (6)
Emperor Guangxu looked at the dense handwriting on the rice paper, and stroked his forehead with a headache, this is the third time Kang Youwei has been on the book, and it is only three, even if he does it the first two times, he doesn't know what he can do, but now?
He slowly closed his eyes, trying to hide his tired look, but he couldn't stop having a sarcastic smile on his face, he, the emperor, and in the eyes of the ministers, was just an ornament!
"The edict encourages the spirit of the world, moves the capital to determine the foundation of the world, trains the army to strengthen the momentum of the world, and changes the law into the rule of the world. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info"The first three are just a strategy to deal with the enemy in an expedient way, and the fourth is a strategy to build a strong country. The change of law was precisely the need of the Qing Dynasty to change the current situation of poverty and weakness and save the crisis of governance, how could he not understand these truths?
He couldn't help but let out a long sigh and pondered how he could get that woman's approval.
Feeling the soft touch coming from the temples, Emperor Guangxu's heart became soft in an instant, and even the boring emotions that shrouded his body were gradually dispelled, and neither of them spoke, enjoying a rare peace.
Concubine Zhen carefully helped him rub his sore temples, while staring at the pieces on the table that were piled up randomly, her eyebrows couldn't help frowning slightly, and a trace of puzzlement flashed in her clear eyes. Unconsciously, there was no next move for a long time.
Emperor Guangxu noticed that she seemed to be a little absent-minded, slowly opened her eyes, reached out to hold her slightly cold fingertips in the palm of his hand, and said softly: "What's wrong?" ”
The clear sound like spring water came into her ears, and Concubine Zhen came back to her senses, staring at her with his burning gaze a little uncomfortable, and shook her head with an embarrassed smile: "It's okay!" ”
He tacitly didn't ask again, stood up silently, and led Concubine Zhen towards the outside of the hall. He felt that there were many hard steel needles on the dragon chair, piercing into the skin, and the pain was unbearable. The air in the hall was thin, and he was short of breath, constantly panting, and he really felt like he was about to collapse.
"Your Majesty...... You can't run away from the problem anymore. Concubine Zhen's voice was not loud, but it made Emperor Guangxu tremble, and the hand holding her couldn't stop trembling.
His footsteps stopped, and a slight light spilled in through the window, shrouding his upright back, looking ethereal. Concubine Zhen bit her lower lip and pursued after the victory: "Why doesn't the emperor try it?" ”
Emperor Guangxu shook off her hand, turned around tremblingly, stared at her with a look of anger, he poked his chest, pulled the dragon robe on his body, and his eyes flashed with crystal clear tears: "Are you humiliating me?" Humiliate me, a coward who didn't dare to resist that woman? He sneered mockingly, nodded, and continued, "Yes, I'm a coward......"
His emotions were like a bowl full of water, and when he touched it slightly, he couldn't bear it anymore and overflowed.
This is the first time he has lost his temper, and he has lost his previous warmth and jade, and he is obviously forced to be anxious. Concubine Zhen swallowed sourly, she always knew how wronged he was and how much pressure he was under. Looking at him holding his head in his hands, curled up weakly on the cold floor, crying like a child who has lost a toy, she walked over and hugged him slowly, as always.
She patted him lightly on the back, taking off the softness of her immature face: "How can the emperor be a coward?" The emperor is Jane's husband and the most heroic man in the world. ”
Emperor Guangxu smelled the faint fragrance on her body, slowly calmed down, tightened his hand holding her sleeve, and slowly opened his bloodshot eyes.
"Jane, I'm sorry." He subconsciously took a deep breath, feeling extremely lost in his heart.
For the hesitation he clearly showed, his heart was as uncomfortable as a pinprick, Concubine Zhen pretended to smile calmly: "The emperor has a decision in his heart?" ”
Emperor Guangxu was stunned for a long time before he said slowly: "Is it okay?" ”
"Does the emperor think the change is right or wrong? If you think it's right, then you should be bold enough to do it. ”
"The law of the ancestors is used to govern the territory left by the ancestors, and the territory left by the ancestors cannot be kept today, how can we talk about the 'law of the ancestors'?" He paused, his dilated pupils slowly became clear, as if he had made an important decision: "If you want to hold the territory, you must change the law of your ancestors." ”
Concubine Zhen clenched his slender fingertips and looked at him with blazing eyes: "Your Majesty, you are not alone, you still have Master Weng Tongyong, and ...... I, we will all support the emperor. ”
"Hmmm......"
Cixi's hidden pupils shimmered like a wolf galloping across the grassland, and she stared at the man-high magic mirror, reaching out to rub it carefully on its delicate patterns, and couldn't put it down. The firelight in the glass lampshade jumped happily, as if mocking her ignorance.
"Magic Mirror...... Now you can tell me who is the most skillful woman in the Qing Dynasty. The corners of her mouth hooked up with a confident smile, and she looked like she was winning.
The Magic Mirror used the laziest way of appearance as always, and this time it looked a little bigger than the last time. He stretched out his hand to cover his wide open mouth, yawned, lowered his eyes and glanced at the familiar face, and twitched the corners of his mouth a little helplessly, and couldn't help but slander in his heart, look! The woman came again, and he scratched his golden curls, wondering when he would be reborn next time, resentment or kindness.
They are the Magic Mirror Clan, and since birth, unless the mirror itself becomes fragmented, they will never experience death for eternity. Whenever they are summoned by a new owner, their bodies will increase a little more until the owner dies, and they will disappear one after another, starting to find the next master.
He curled up and stared deeply at the woman below, as if she was always tired of this kind of question, which was a sign of extreme unconfidence.
Who has the most wrists? That's a tricky question.
"What's wrong? Can't answer? Cixi smiled hypocritically: "I remember, you all have questions to answer......
The magic mirror pouted, very dissatisfied with his aggressiveness: "It's not that you can't answer, it's just that I'm afraid you can't stand the answer." ”
"It's okay......" Cixi didn't care, as if she already knew the answer.
"Of course it's Concubine Zhen, she can do well without using her wrists, if the Qing Dynasty doesn't change again, I'm afraid it's a matter of time before the qi is gone, but she can respect the development trend of history and make the most powerful judgment on the Qing Dynasty, which is not comparable." Ignoring her increasingly gloomy face, the magic mirror explained very dutifully.
In this world, there are very few women who can maintain their original intentions in this cannibalistic harem, and the only stain is to sell the official mantle, but all this is so that her emperor can compete with Cixi, although it is insignificant, but if there is no financial support, then there will be nothing, and she is only selling some inconsequential official positions.
Even if it's really inappropriate.
Cixi could not bear the glory from above, and overnight, she became worthless, she resisted the urge to smash it, and turned away angrily.
The magic mirror stared at her departing back, shaking her head and sighing regretfully.
It seems that the dragon spirit of the Great Halal has dissipated, and he is about to change his master again!
