The Empress Dowager Cixi is interesting enough, how can she ignore the lives of the princes and ministers. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info but the foreign devils are still not satisfied with this kind of disposal, and they are particularly dissatisfied with the disposal of Duan Wang and Lan Gong, and ask for a heavy punishment.
So, Lafayette issued another edict and condemned the two of them to imprisonment pending execution. was sent to Xinjiang and never taught back, this is a later story. and resolutely open the coffin and kill the corpse, which is extremely cruel.
Prince Zhuang, Zhao Shuqiao, Yingnian, committed suicide. One of the sons of the Minister of Military Aircraft, Qixiu and Xu Tong, was executed at Caishikou.
Zhao Shuqiao, the Minister of Military Aircraft, was deeply appreciated by Cixi. Following the Queen Mother, from Beijing to Xi'an, driving before and after, it was not hard. Cixi saw it in her eyes and remembered it in her heart.
When the foreigner was listed to kill the head of the fist, the Queen Mother remembered his loyalty and always wanted to save his life. At first, he was only given a sentence of permanent imprisonment, and he was imprisoned in the Shaanxi Provincial Prison, where his family could visit him back and forth.
However, after the edict was issued, the foreigners did not do it, and demanded that Zhao Shuqiao be killed.
The next day, that is, on the sixth day of the first month of the 27th year of Guangxu, the Empress Dowager Cixi issued an edict to give Zhao Junji to commit suicide and ordered Cen Chunxuan, the governor of Shaanxi, to monitor him.
Cen Chunxuan went to the first office and said to Zhao Shuqiao: "Zhao Junji, the edict is here, give you to commit suicide, ask to go back at 5 o'clock in the afternoon to restore your life, please make self-determination as soon as possible!" ”
Cen Chunxuan was very anxious, so he had to ask his subordinates: "I will go to restore my life at five o'clock, but this person refuses to die, what do you think?" One of his boys said, "The villain has a way." Soak the paper in soju and take it out to block his throat and suffocate him. ”
Cen Chunxuan could only ask people to do the same, and after changing four or five pieces of wine paper, Zhao Junji was desperate.
After the failure of the Boxer Rebellion, he knew that he was guilty of a deep crime, and he was afraid of being killed, so he went to Shaanxi to seek protection from the Queen Mother, after all, he was a relative of the emperor.
However, before he arrived in Shaanxi, he was blocked by the Queen Mother's words in Puzhou, Shanxi. Lived in a government office and waited for Lafayette's decree. On this day, Ge Baohua was ordered to come with an order, and the local officials of Puzhou fired cannons to welcome the Qincha.
As soon as Prince Zhuang heard the sound of the cannon, he knew that Duojika was fierce, and his heart was uneasy. Asked his entourage: "The year is over, what kind of cannon should you fire?" ”
"I heard that there is a Chincha-sama, so I will greet him with a cannon!" The man replied.
"Is this mission here for me?" Prince Zhuang's heart is empty.
"Isn't it! I heard that I went here to do something else! ”
After a while, Ge Baohua came in. After seeing each other, Zhuang Wu asked him about the situation of the court, and Ge Baohua answered them one by one
After a few words, Ge Baohua retreated again, inspected the residence of Zhuang Wangye, there was an ancient temple behind the house, and chose an empty house among them as the place where Zhuang Wangye committed suicide, and tied a silk rope on the beam.
Everything was ready to stop, and he ordered the county to lead troops to surround the ancient temple. Then, he came in to see Prince Zhuang again and said, "The Queen Mother is here, please kneel down to receive it!" ”
Prince Zhuang knelt on the ground. After listening to the edict, Zhuang Wang Ye said angrily: "Give me suicide." I already knew that they would not let me die, and they would not give up...... I'm afraid our Lafayette won't be able to grow long. After saying that, he asked the Chin Cha to allow him to say goodbye to his family.
Ge Baohua agreed to him.
At this time, his wife and son found out about it and rushed into the room. Prince Zhuang behaved very calmly and calmly, and said to his son: "You must remember. You are a courtier of the Qing Dynasty, and you must do your best to contribute to the court.
It is your duty to serve the country, don't forget! No matter what, as long as it is beneficial to the country, it will be done even if it is in the soup. We must not let foreign devils take away the splendid rivers and mountains left to us by our ancestors! ”
His son heard him and wept aloud. His wife was so frightened that she fainted. Prince Zhuang didn't care, and asked Ge Baohua, "Where is the place of death?" ”
"If the prince doesn't dislike it, please come to the empty house in the back!" King Zhuang then followed the Qincha to the empty house, and when he saw a rope hanging from the beam, he turned to Ge Baohua and said, "Lord Qincha is really well prepared. Admire! ”
With that, he climbed the stool, put the rope around his neck, and then kicked the stool down, and after a few minutes, he died of exhaustion.
Shanxi Governor Yuxian. When the command of his Dharma rectification was issued, he had already set out for the place of abundance. Walking with illness is very difficult. After hearing the edict to execute him, his face was as pale as earth, which was very different from the ferocity of his former governorship in Shanxi.
The day before the execution, his illness had improved slightly. When he went to the execution ground, he was supported by two people.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, Yuxian's body was in a different place, and the viewers all sighed. Known for his integrity, his family was poor when he was born, but he was able to make ends meet.
When he died, he was so poor that he couldn't even afford new clothes for the corpse! Shanxi people commemorate the official ancestral hall of his parents who protected Shanxi from being invaded by foreigners. Later, it was destroyed because of the fear of foreigners and making it difficult for the Qing government.
Zuodu Yushi is young, cautious, and very timid. At first, when I heard the edict of imprisonment, I said goodbye to my family and wept bitterly. That night, he wept bitterly all night, and scolded King Qing for not trying to save him. At this time, King Qing was already a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and he couldn't save himself, so how could he save others?
The next day is the New Year's Day, everyone has something to do, and they don't pay attention to it, and the young man cries all day long, and the crying stops in the middle of the night. In the morning, the next generation saw him lying on the ground, covered with mud, and dying.
Looking closely, he swallowed the dirt and choked his throat to death. The purpose for his suicide had not yet come down. So there was no publicity, and when the edict was given, Cen Chunxuan reported the death of the young man to Cixi.
Xu Yongyu, the son of Shangshu Qixiu of the Ministry of Rites and Xu Tong, the left waiter of the Criminal Department, was beheaded at the entrance of the vegetable market in Beijing on the eighth day of the first month of the twenty-seventh year of Daoguang. At that time, Qixiu learned the news of killing him, and only asked: "Whose order is it?" ”
"There is an edict here, from Xi'an." The warden said.
"As long as it is the order of the Queen Mother, not the order of foreigners, I have no resentment even if I die!" So, he was sentenced at the same time as Xu Yongyu.
Zai Yi and Zai Lan were exiled, Zhao Shuqiao, Zai Xun, Yingnian, Yuxian, Qixiu, etc. were killed, and the disposal was also disposed of, the anger of the foreigners also disappeared, and Lafayette's heart was put down.
The officials of the main battle faction, except for Zai Yi and Zai Lan, were all punished, some were beheaded, some committed suicide, and some were dismissed, and the situation in the national officialdom changed drastically for a while. However, at this time, the Empress Dowager of the West was only waiting for Yi Xuan and Li Hongzhang to sign a treaty with the eleven Western countries.
In the midst of worry and panic, a winter passed. Everything that has been asleep for a winter. It's starting to recover again. The Empress Dowager Cixi also melted her heart into spring, and sometimes showed a spring-like smile on her face. It seems to be a few years younger all of a sudden. (To be continued.) )
