229 Opposition to the change

Before the First Sino-Japanese War, he was only a governor of Guangdong, which was not satisfactory to him. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 So every time he goes to the capital to report his job, he will always send Li Lianying a lot of jewelry, rare toys and a large number of silver tickets and silver.

Once, during a conversation between the two of them, Gangyi expressed his desire to serve in the Jingshi. Li Lianying immediately assured that he was willing to say good things in front of Lafayette, but it was unfortunate that shortly after that, the First Sino-Japanese War broke out, and Li Lianying failed to get the opportunity to play the Empress Dowager.

Shortly after the First Sino-Japanese War, Galeries Lafayette punished a group of main war officials, so Li Lianying saw the opportunity to propose that Gangyi be appointed as a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, and Lafayette was approved, and was soon promoted to Minister of Military Aircraft.

Naturally, in this process, Gangyi also gave Li Lianying hundreds of thousands of taels of silver as a reward.

Seeing that Gangyi was vigorously opposed to the reform of the law, in order to appeal to the resolute temper, he contacted a group of officials to write a pamphlet entitled "Refutation of the National Assembly" and sent it to the Beijing Imperial Court in an attempt to incite all officials to oppose the reform.

The National Protectorate is a non-governmental organization organized by Kang Youwei and other organizations with the purpose of protecting the country, species, and religion.

Hong Jia's booklet first came to Gangyi's hands, and he brought Hong Jia to praise him greatly. At the same time, the imperial historian Pan Qinglan also wrote to impeach Kang Youwei for organizing the National Protectorate in order to gather all sentient beings and plot against him.

Gangyi saw that so many people came out to oppose the change, and won the support of Li Lianying, which is also equivalent to the support of Lafayette, he became bolder, and one day when he was in the court, Gangyi stood up and said:

"Your Majesty, the servants think that the Protector Association can only make mistakes and will only make people uneasy, so it is better to ban it as soon as possible to avoid being incurable in the future."

Emperor Guangxu looked at him coldly and said, "Wouldn't it be good to protect the country?" What is it forbidden? ”

Fortitude touched a nail and walked into the column extremely unconvinced.

After all, Prince Gong is old, and his energy is not as good as before, and he accidentally got sick with a cold, although he was treated by the imperial doctor in every possible way, but it was still ineffective, and he finally left this world with regret.

When Emperor Guangxu learned that Prince Gong was Yi?? When he died, he didn't feel sad, although Prince Gong died, there would be one less obstacle to the change, but once Prince Gong died, he would have one less layer of protective umbrella.

In the past, when Prince Gong was there, he could still curb the obscenity of Lafayette, but now that Prince Gong is dead, who can protect this poor emperor?

When Emperor Xu thought of this, he burst into tears of sadness.

Shortly after Prince Gong's death, Kang Youwei wrote a letter to Weng Tonghe, urging him to seize the opportunity to assist Guangxu in changing the law. So, Weng Tonghe forwarded the letter to Guangxu, and Guangxu decided to change the law now after reading it.

"Weng Tonghe, you can submit the "Japanese Political Change Examination" to the General Administration for discussion, and let them come up with a specific opinion."

Weng Tonghe handed over the book to the General Administration, but Emperor Guangxu was slow to get the advice of the ministers, which made Emperor Guangxu very annoyed, and finally one day said:

"Do you dare to disobey the holy decree, and have you done what I have given you?"

"Your Majesty, the minions are stepping up their processing, please calm your anger." But how can this anger be quelled! I'm afraid it's better not to talk about anger, but it's bad if you talk about anger.

"You only know that it is called to calm the anger, and you only know that it is being handled, so why can't it be done as soon as possible. Every time I ask you, you shirk it like this, what else do I want you to do, eat the court's fortunes all day long but don't do anything for the court. ”

When the ministers saw that the emperor was really angry, they were so frightened that they hurriedly kowtowed one by one, and they didn't say "the emperor is angry", but just said, "The minions will do it as soon as possible." ”

Emperor Guangxu knew that these ministers had the support of Lafayette, and there was nothing he could do about them. So when he retreated, he called ****** to stop. Is it in Yi?? He took his place after his death.

"Emperor Qiqi, what do you want your ministers to do?"

"You go and tell Lafayette that I don't want to be the emperor of the country. If the Queen Mother refuses to give me the power to do things, I would rather abdicate! ”

"Yes, the minion will go." King Qing was shocked!

As soon as Li Lianying heard that King Qing was coming, she immediately followed the little eunuch to the door to greet her. Among the ministers of the court, Li Lianying had a very close relationship with King Qing, so he personally rushed to the door to greet him.

"Mr. Li, is Lafayette resting?"

"Yes."

"Can you wake up Galeries Lafayette and say that I have something important to repay."

"Okay, I'll call Galeries Lafayette." As he spoke, he walked to the Empress Dowager Cixi's bedroom, and after a while, Li Lianying beckoned in front of the door and motioned for King Qing to come over. So, King Qing dressed up his entire court clothes and walked to the Empress Dowager Cixi's bedroom.

"What's the matter? I have to talk about it at this time. As soon as he entered the door, Lafayette asked King Qing unhappily.

"Back to Lafayette, it was the emperor who asked me to send you a message."

King Qing told the words of Emperor Guangxu to Lafayette as they were. When the Empress Dowager Cixi heard this, she became angry, gritted her teeth and said:

"If he doesn't want to sit on this throne, then the mourning family doesn't want him to sit on it."

When King Qing heard this, he hurriedly persuaded: "Back to Lafayette, the minister privately thinks that this is unacceptable. ”

"Why not?"

"If the emperor is easily deposed because of this matter, I am afraid that it will only bring the intervention of ministers from various countries, and in addition, the call for changing the law is also quite high, and I heard that the governor of Hunan and the governor of Huguang are in favor of changing the law. The minister thought that Lafayette might as well let the emperor change the law for the time being, and talk about it after a while. ”

Galeries Lafayette was still angry, but it had subsided. Li Lianying also hurriedly spoke when she saw the appearance of the Empress Dowager Cixi, because he was afraid that if Lafayette was angry, no one would feel comfortable.

"Lafayette, don't hurt your jade body. And the slave thinks that King Qing is right, so it is better to let the emperor try it for the time being, and see what he can do. ”

The Empress Dowager Cixi was originally worried about foreign interference, but now she heard Li Lianying say the same, so she also took advantage of the situation to go down the steps and said calmly:

"You go and tell the emperor, the mourning family will let him do something, and then talk about it when it looks like it!"

King Qing kowtowed, then raised his head to look at Li Lianying, he saw Li Lianying signaling him to go, so King Qing kowtowed twice and withdrew from Cixi's bedroom, and returned to his official residence in a sedan chair.

When King Qing left, the Empress Dowager Cixi said to Li Lianying: "Little Lizi, do you think this is okay? ”

"Back to Lafayette, the slave thinks it's okay, but he just wants to strengthen the monitoring of the emperor, and he is not afraid of doing whatever he wants."

Lafayette nodded approvingly, in agreement.

After King Qing returned, he reported to Emperor Guangxu when he was in the last dynasty. But he didn't dare to say it as it was, he just said:

"Back to the emperor, Lafayette said: As long as the emperor can make a career, she will not obstruct it." (To be continued.) )
