"I have been diligently pursuing day and night, trying to change all the law, is it to advocate novelty?

It is really because the people of the world are all given by God and left by their ancestors, and if they are not all made happy and friendly, I, the emperor, will not fulfill my responsibilities. Coupled with www.biquge.info the encirclement, bullying and persecution of foreign powers, I am really worried that if we do not take the strengths of others, we will not be able to protect what our country has.

I have good intentions, and there are some things that the people do not understand. This was due to the fact that unscrupulous officials and old-fashioned scholars could not widely publicize what I meant, and even instigated rumors and caused the people to hesitate and panic.

There are many people in the mountains who do not know about the new policy, and I really sigh and hate it.

Now I will announce the intention of changing the law to the world, so that the people will understand my intentions, and they will know that their emperor can rely on them, so that they can work together to achieve a new policy and make China rich and strong.

I have infinite hope! ”

Although Emperor Guangxu continued to make changes, he was already aware of a chill, which came from the direction of the Summer Palace where the Empress Dowager Cixi lived.

Emperor Guangxu had heard that Xu Yingqi and Waitab were swimming between Ronglu and the Summer Palace after being dismissed, and now there are all kinds of rumors circulating in the capital, some saying that the Empress Dowager Cixi is going to be in power.

Some say that the emperor is going to die, and some say...... All kinds of rumors also made Emperor Guangxu have to consider his own situation, so he paid him a "secret edict" when he summoned Yang Rui, one of the "Four Secretaries of Military Aircraft":

"I think about the difficult situation, I can't save China without changing the law, and I can't change the law without dismissing the old and decrepit ministers and employing brave and knowledgeable people.

The Queen Mother didn't think so, and I repeatedly persuaded her, but the Queen Mother was furious. Now that I can't protect myself, you and Kang Youwei and others are trying to save each other, and it's very critical, and I'm looking forward to it with great anxiety. ”

After Kang Youwei and others saw it, they persuaded the emperor to win over Yuan Shikai.

Yuan Shikai trained the army at a small station, which was quite effective and had a certain influence. Kang Youwei saw this as early as the early days of the law change, and sent people to secretly carry out activities, but there was no success.

But because Yuan Shikai himself had also expressed an extremely strong interest in changing the law, Kang Youwei and others remembered him at this time.

Emperor Guangxu then transferred Yuan Shikai to Beijing to meet with him in person on the grounds that "Yuan Shikai entered Beijing to give a statement on Japan's experience in changing the law", and appointed Yuan Shikai as a waiter in the Ministry of Later People, and instructed him to specialize in military training affairs, and he could turn things around at any time.

Yuan Shikai was very flattered, and quickly kowtowed to thank the emperor for his grace.

"Your Majesty, the servants are very ashamed to be punished for nothing." Guangxu looked at it and said with a smile: "Everyone says that the soldiers you train and the school you run are very good. From now on, you and Rong Lu will do their own things. ”

Yuan Shikai was quite smart, he knew that the emperor meant to tell him to get rid of Rong Lu's control and be directly responsible to the emperor. Yuan Shikai hurriedly kowtowed:

"Thank you for the emperor's grace, the minions must do their best to train the army to repay the emperor's promotion. Please rest assured, the emperor is willing to smear the emperor's liver and brain, even if he dies. ”

Emperor Guangxu looked at Yuan Shikai's sworn appearance and smiled with satisfaction.

After Yuan Shikai returned to his residence, a little eunuch was waiting for him, and when the little eunuch saw him coming back, he hurriedly said to him:

"Lord Yuan, our chief manager has an invite."

Yuan Shikai then followed the little eunuch to Li Lianying's residence, Li Lianying had already greeted him at the door, which made Yuan Shikai a little unexpected, but he guessed that Li Lianying wanted to ask him about the emperor's reception today, and whether to say it when the time came?

Yuan Shikai couldn't hold it, so it seemed that he had to act with the camera.

"It's been a long time since I've seen the head manager, and I don't know if the head manager has always been good!" Yuan Shikai said as soon as he saw Li Lianying, and at the same time handed Li Lianying a silver ticket of 30,000 taels.

"Little brother, why are you so polite! Come to the big brother, you don't have to be polite, just order! But Li Lianying did not return the silver ticket to Yuan Shikai.

Li Lianying and Yuan Shikai are sworn brothers, and Yuan Shikai's ability to supervise the soldiers at the small station also benefited from Li Lianying's kind words in front of Lafayette. This is unknown to Kang Youwei and others, so they also regard Yuan Shikai as a capable leader of the Restoration.

After the two walked into the living room, they exchanged pleasantries. Yuan Shikai asked:

"Brother Li, I don't know what you ordered to bring the little brother here today, the little brother will definitely work for you, as long as I can do it."

"You can do it!" Li Lianying said very cheerfully. This made Yuan Shikai very puzzled, and some of the second monks were confused, but he finally had a clue, Li Lianying might be talking about the emperor's reception.

"What you said ......" Yuan Shikai didn't continue, and Li Lianying didn't ask, but talked about the Empress Dowager Cixi, as if he had forgotten the conversation between the two of them.

"Lafayette is in a very bad mood these days, but the children's army is too unreasonable, and now he actually wants to cut his hair and change clothes, Lafayette is very angry about this. And Lafayette is becoming more and more dissatisfied with the emperor, and I don't think the emperor has a few good days. ”

On the surface, Li Lianying was telling Yuan Shikai the mood of the Empress Dowager Cixi, but in fact she was warning Yuan Shikai:

Don't be attached to the emperor, the emperor is unreliable, only Lafayette is the real emperor.

Yuan Shikai understood what Li Lianying meant very well, this was Li Lianying forcing him to say the content of the interview, it seems that he won't say it today. So Yuan Shikai told Li Lianying about Emperor Guangxu's reception of him.

"Brother Yuan, you have done a good job, our family will speak for you in front of Lafayette, you can rest assured and boldly deal with the emperor!"

After listening to Yuan Shikai's account of the meeting, Li Lianying immediately reported to the Empress Dowager Cixi, who only ordered Li Lianying to intensify her surveillance of the emperor and obtain further information from Yuan Shikai.

After Yuan Shikai returned to the residence, he thought about the situation he was in, but he still couldn't come to a specific conclusion.

I finally stayed up until the evening, it was a difficult night!

Suddenly, Yuan Shikai heard a knock on the door, and he hurriedly opened the door, which couldn't help but surprise him: there was Tan Sitong standing outside the door. Yuan Shikai hurriedly invited Tan Sitong into the house.

"Lord Tan, I don't know what you are looking for me for, come to the cheap house so late." After speaking, he looked at Tan Sitong with an expectant eye.

"Lord Yuan, the younger brother came to your house today to talk to Lord Yuan." After Tan Sitong finished speaking, he stared straight at Yuan Shikai, as if he wanted to see through Yuan Shikai's heart, which made Yuan Shikai very nervous and uncomfortable. (To be continued.) )
