232 Kill and punish Liwei
Concubine Zhen hadn't gotten up at this time, and when she heard that the emperor was coming, she quickly got up to welcome the emperor to the house. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Concubine Zhen had heard the news that Weng Tonghe had been expelled and returned to her hometown as early as yesterday, so she naturally couldn't help but be sad all night, but she didn't expect Emperor Guangxu to come to her so early today.
Looking at the emperor's red and swollen eyes because she didn't sleep well, Concubine Zhen couldn't help but feel heartache, after all, the love between teachers and students is deep!
Concubine Zhen knew that it was useless to comfort Emperor Guangxu at this time, all words were pale, which would only increase the emperor's distress, so she sat opposite Emperor Guangxu and quietly accompanied the emperor until Emperor Tianming went to the palace.
One morning, Emperor Guangxu didn't have any thoughts, and finally managed to get to the scattered dynasty, so Emperor Guangxu walked out of the palace gate. He firmly believes that Weng Tonghe will pass away from the palace today.
Weng Tonghe also didn't get a good night's sleep last night, and he wanted to resign from the emperor this morning, but it was unfortunate that the emperor went to Concubine Zhen, but Weng Tonghe couldn't bear to see the emperor, so he kept waiting there.
Now seeing that the emperor was out of the palace gate, he hurriedly stepped forward to bid farewell to Emperor Guangxu, looking at the emperor's thin body, Weng Tonghe's eyes were moist.
"Your Majesty, the ministers are resigning to you."
Emperor Guangxu looked at Master Weng who was kneeling on the ground, and said softly: "Master, don't blame me, take good care of yourself." ”
Weng Tonghe stood up, glanced at the emperor meaningfully, and turned around to leave. But this departure, he may not see the emperor for the rest of his life, and he feels that he should explain some things to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, the ministers have been with you day and night for more than 20 years, and they know that you are weak and sickly, at this time, the law needs you, the country needs you, I hope you can take good care of your health, and don't let your ministers down."
Emperor Guangxu knew the deep meaning of Weng Tonghe's words, that is, only if he can stand up, the law change will be successful, and the ministers will dare to rest assured to assist in the law change.
"I will." Emperor Guangxu replied in a choked voice.
"Kang Youwei's talent is ten times better than me, and after I leave, the emperor can rely on him to help him in changing the law. Most of the ministers of the DPRK and China oppose the change of law, especially the Minister of Military Aircraft is resolute, and the emperor must be wary.
As for Lafayette, she was watching the fire from the other side, hoping that the emperor would not be too dismissive of her holy will, follow her wishes, follow her wishes, and slowly change the law, and must not be impatient. After saying that, he sighed, kowtowed to the emperor again, and then resolutely left the palace.
Emperor Guangxu stood there, silently watching Weng Tonghe go away, until he couldn't see Weng Tonghe's figure, and then returned to the palace with heavy steps.
Weng Tonghe left Beijing in a sad mood.
Master Weng is gone, but Master Weng is right, he needs himself to change the law, the country needs himself, and he will never collapse, not to mention that he always has Kang Nanhai by his side to be trusted. As a result, Emperor Guangxu quickly freed himself from the grief of losing Weng Tonghe, and devoted himself to the matter of changing the law.
There is a director in the Ministry of Rites, Wang Zhao, who is a member of the Jiawu Branch. This person is very worried about the country and the people, and when he sees the land being cut off by the foreign powers piece by piece, his heart is like a knife, and he himself is also familiar with foreign affairs, and he knows a little about the situation of foreign countries about the reform of the law.
Therefore, he sent a letter to the Guangxu Emperor, asking for a haircut, a change of clothes, and an expulsion of eunuchs, and asking the emperor, the empress dowager, and the princes and ministers to travel to foreign countries to see and hear widely, especially to go to Japan to investigate their experience in changing the law.
But this twist and turn made the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Waitabu and Xu Yingqi feel very unbearable after reading it, so they refused to present it to the emperor on behalf of Wang Zhao.
This made Wang Zhao very angry, not long ago the emperor had just issued an edict for the big and small ministers to express what they had seen, and now the two Shangshu dared to disobey the emperor's "holy decree" and not present it for him, so he wrote a note of impeachment of Waitabu and Xu Yingqi, and asked Xu Yingqi to present it on his behalf.
Because it was their own impeachment, Xu Yingqi didn't dare not submit it, but he also made a fold, saying that Wang Zhao "roared in court" and intended to make trouble, and wanted a wicked person to sue first.
Emperor Guangxu watched the recital of the two, mainly Xu Yingqi's recital, he was very angry, his face turned from white to blue, and at the same time, his hands couldn't help trembling, and he was so frightened that Xu Yingqi's heart jumped to his throat when he knelt below.
"What the hell is going on? I just issued a decree not long ago, and now you, as a scholar, dare to openly disobey my will, and withhold the music without authorization, do you still have me as the emperor in your eyes? ”
"The minions don't dare, and they don't dare to kill the minions without the emperor."
"Then why don't you play it, give me a good recital." Guangxu's voice was quite stern and stiff.
This is a bitter Xu Yingqi, and his heart, which was already very uneasy, became even more uneasy, and his heart "jumped, jumped", and he wanted to jump out of his chest, but after all, he was a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, and quickly adjusted his emotions and said:
"Returning to the emperor, the slave thought that Wang Zhao's intentions were very sinister. He asked the emperor and the queen mother to travel to Japan, there were many Japanese assassins, if the emperor and the queen mother were also like Li Zhongtang back then, they encountered danger, wouldn't this be a mistake for the country and the people, and for the emperor and the queen mother? ”
is still smearing himself with powder, and after listening to what he said, Emperor Guangxu wanted to smoke Xu Yingqi's two mouths to relieve his hatred.
"Bold minions, still denying at this time. Whether it is feasible for Wang Zhao to go up, I will naturally weigh it, why bother you with this heart?! You deliberately obstruct your subordinates from submitting a book, sabotage the law, and want to defend yourself, which is absolutely not allowed! ”
Emperor Guangxu hatefully glanced at Xu Yingqi and Waitabu Ershangshu who were kneeling on the ground and said: "Spread my decree, and hand over the six people who obstructed the change of the law, including Xu Yingqi, Waitabu, and the left and right attendants of the Ministry of Rites, to the Criminal Department for discussion. ”
The Criminal Department quickly agreed to dismiss all six people for the crime of obstructing Wang Zhao's writing.
When Emperor Guangxu dismissed Huai and Xu, he issued an edict to reward Wang Zhao, believing that he was "not afraid of violence and brave and commendable".
At the same time, Guangxu also issued an edict to take Li Duandi, a waiter of the Criminal Department, as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Xu Zhijing, a bachelor of waiting, as the waiter of the Ministry of Rites.
On the same day that the new officials of the Ministry of Rites were appointed, Emperor Guangxu rewarded Tan Sitong, Yang Rui, Liu Guangdi, Lin Xu and other four reformists as Sipinqing, who walked on the military plane Zhangjing and participated in the new policy affairs, which was actually to help Emperor Guangxu deal with relevant government affairs, including the draft of the decree.
Waitabu, Xu Yingqi and other six people were loyal to the Empress Dowager Cixi, and now they were dismissed and removed from office by the emperor, they were very unconvinced, and the six of them got together overnight to discuss what to do.
So after discussion, the six of them decided to find Li Lianying first, and let Li Lianying talk more in front of the Empress Dowager Cixi to see if Lafayette had any way. (To be continued.) )
