245 The horseman is responsible
Although the Empress Dowager Cixi was very angry after reading this letter, it was not unreasonable to think about it carefully. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
If doubts are not clarified, not only will people be panicked at home, but countries will also be distrustful, leading to unknowable results. Therefore, the Empress Dowager Cixi finally had to agree to let the Minister of Military Aircraft accompany the French doctor Dusseff to Yingtai to see the emperor.
"The mourning family is worried that tomorrow the emperor will say that he is not sick, and once it spreads out, I don't know what will happen outside."
"Lafayette, please rest assured, the slave will take care of the emperor."
"How do you take care of it?"
"The servant went to the emperor and said: If you wait until the French doctor comes to examine you, and you pretend to be sick, Lafayette promises to let you go out of Yingtai and meet Concubine Zhen, otherwise, Concubine Zhen will be executed, and you will also want to come out of Yingtai for the rest of your life."
"Very good," the Empress Dowager Cixi agreed with Li Lianying's words, "how is that slut doing now?" ”
"Back to Lafayette, the servants took care of those eunuchs and told them to keep them under close care. Listening to them, Concubine Zhen did not eat or ate very little at every meal, and she often sighed in the house and scolded the emperor for not going to see her. ”
"Since I don't eat it, I'll send it every three days. After sending it three times, send it every day to see how hard she can be. The Empress Dowager Cixi said angrily again.
"Wow!" Li Lianying replied, "The slave will go to Yingtai to take care of the emperor." ”
The next day, Du Sefu, accompanied by the Minister of Military Aircraft, went to Yingtai and found that Emperor Guangxu had a yellow face and thin muscles, and a painful face.
He checked for Emperor Guangxu and thought that Emperor Guangxu's body was too hot, his body was too weak, and his kidneys were too weak. Dusef's diagnosis made several military ministers on the side very satisfied, because they were afraid that Emperor Guangxu would not be able to stay and say that he was not sick.
But how did they know that Emperor Guangxu actually didn't dare to say it if he wanted to, he had to endure all this for his beloved Zhen'er.
The results of Dusev's examination were known to all countries, and the newspapers in Shanghai had less news about the emperor's illness, but it was not nothing, and from time to time news about the emperor's illness was still published.
The Empress Dowager Cixi decided to convene the Minister of Military Aircraft to discuss the abolition of the establishment again, and at the same time solicited opinions from the majority of ministers, asking them to express their opinions and talk about their thoughts on the abolition. In addition, the Empress Dowager Cixi also ordered Rong Lu to send a telegram asking for the opinions of local ministers.
When summoning the Minister of Military Aircraft, he still could not get a satisfactory result, which made the Empress Dowager Cixi very angry, because Rong Lu still advised him to be careful and take into account the influence. However, the ministers' performance made the Empress Dowager Cixi very satisfied.
The imperial history Zhang Zhongxin told the Empress Dowager Cixi that the emperor's change of hair and change of clothes was a betrayal of the ancestors, and heaven did not tolerate it, and they strongly demanded that the emperor be abolished and replaced with an emperor who could faithfully implement the ancestors' training.
The alternate prefect and the editor of the Hanlin Academy, Wang Longzhi, also said that the Empress Dowager Cixi said that it was inevitable to abolish the incompetent and cowardly emperor and replace it with a capable emperor, and now the emperor is cowardly and incompetent, and he hoped that the Empress Dowager Cixi could adapt to this situation, make a big plan as soon as possible, and abolish the establishment as soon as possible.
These undoubtedly made the Empress Dowager Cixi a little happier, but these are just scratching the itch, the most fundamental thing is to obtain the consent of the Minister of Military Aircraft, and now the opinions of the Military Aircraft Department are often not unified, and there is no consensus, especially Rong Lu's repeated opposition, which makes the Empress Dowager Cixi feel dissatisfied.
Soon after, the ministers and staff of foreign embassies in Beijing saw an edict, which read:
"Now I bow down and disobey the peace, and all the feasts that should be performed in the year and in the first month of the next year shall be stopped. On the first day of the first month of the first month of the next year, I led the princes and hundreds of officials to pay respects to the Emperor's Palace, and saluted in front of the Queen Mother. ”
Anyone who saw this edict couldn't help but be shocked in their hearts, it seems that the emperor will be able to sit still in the future, but next year, it may be.
There was an alternate prefect in Shanghai, Jing Yuanshan, who was the head office of the Shanghai Telegraph Office, so he could see all kinds of telegrams sent by the imperial court, and when he found that the tone of the telegram about the abolition of the emperor was getting heavier and heavier, he could no longer sit still.
Although Jing Yuan Shanming is the general office, he is very familiar with foreign affairs, and knows that the abolition of the emperor may lead to the intervention of various countries, and even the war against each other, and to use the weak country of the Qing Dynasty to resist the male soldiers of several countries, I am afraid that there will be another incident of burning the Old Summer Palace.
Moreover, he also knew that there were still many people in Shanghai who sympathized with the fate of the emperor, at least there were many people who opposed the Empress Dowager Cixi, although the Empress Dowager Cixi was now indecisive, but Yuan Shan understood that once the time was ripe, the Empress Dowager Cixi decided to abolish the current emperor.
Today is the eve of the New Year, and famous artists are preparing for the New Year.
Because Shanghai is a big city, Chinese New Year's Eve is especially lively, and now the streets are full of joyful people and firecrackers, adding another layer of festive atmosphere to the usually boiling Shanghai.
On the Huangpu River, ships have also come and gone frequently, which is due to the sudden increase in the number of people who rushed to the city to buy New Year's goods a few years ago.
The Bund is also much more lively than usual, with happy children laughing, chasing, and running on it. What a peaceful world this is, how happy people are, but if the Empress Dowager Cixi really abolished the emperor, I am afraid that Shanghai will be panicked and chaotic.
Jing Yuanshan sat in the car, looking at the festival of Shanghai, thinking about the possible consequences of abolishing the emperor, and also thinking about the consequences if he sent a telegram, but he couldn't care so much now.
He just felt that he should prevent the Empress Dowager Cixi from abolishing the emperor to avoid another mutiny.
Jing Yuanshan came to the house of his friend Wang Kangnian. Wang Kangnian's name is Suiqing, he is a jinshi of the Renchen Branch in the eighteenth year of Guangxu, and one of Weng Tonghe's protégés. On the eve of the Guangxu reform, the "Shi Yiwu" was created in Shanghai, specifically advocating the reform of the law.
Shi Yiwu is a ten-month magazine, which focuses on discussions, commenting on the political affairs of Western countries, as well as the various shortcomings of the Qing Dynasty. In order to report on current affairs, Wang Kangnian founded the "Times Daily" last spring, which was soon renamed the "Sino-Foreign Daily" to report on the situation in various countries.
The "Sino-Foreign Daily" has a wide range of sales, especially among those gentlemen and businessmen who are worried about the country and the people. Jing Yuanshan went to Wang Kangnian's house so that he could publish the news in tomorrow's newspaper so that he could contact people with lofty ideals.
"Yuqing, have you heard the news of the abolition of the emperor?"
"I've heard of it."
"Hey, I'm afraid the emperor can only finish this year!" Jing Yuanshan sighed and said.
Now that there are only a few days left until the Chinese New Year, is the emperor about to be deposed?
This couldn't help but surprise Wang Kangnian.
"What? There are only a few days left until the New Year, is it necessary to abolish the emperor, take advantage of now. (To be continued.) )
