Although the imperialists and the reformers have committed public outrage, it is really difficult to say whether they are guilty or not, and many of them can be big or small. Even those who hated the fortitude, Waitabu and others of these reformers did not think of killing them all, and some of them were dismissed and exiled. How to deal with these people, it is better to let the Criminal Department and Dali Temple interrogate them specifically, the Qing Dynasty is not an absolute legal system, but the Qing Dynasty law is also very profitable, and the so-called Wang Law is not as big as the sky. However, Cixi refused to be tried again, and except for Zhang Yinhuan, who was still lenient, everyone else was directly executed.

"Eldest sister, these people are plotting a coup d'état, bewitching the emperor, and even conspiring with the intention of murder*, the canonical punishment should be tried in three halls, so that everyone in the world knows that they are extremely evil. If they are not directly executed without interrogation, I am afraid that there will be people who are wrongly implicated, and it will also provoke rumors and discussions among the people. Guo Xing'a felt that he had killed them all in one go, which seemed to be a bit too much, Kang Youwei was making a mess of killing the garden, and many people may not know about it. Although the reformers did not govern the country very well, they did not have a capital crime no matter how they said it.

"Old Five! This matter can't be tried! Otherwise, the Qing Dynasty will be shaken, and I am afraid that the world will not escape the scourge of turmoil! Cixi shook her head lightly, her face distressed.

"Probably not!" Guo Xing'a is not a political master, so naturally he is not as far-reaching as Cixi thinks.

"What the reformers have done is against the principles of heaven and heinous, and they should have been announced to the world to understand their evil, but the mourners can't do this! They are all people trusted by the emperor, and when they spread it, they are the emperor's favored traitors. If there are a few wild waves who climb the emperor for no reason in order to get away with the crime, it will be a real disaster. The emperor connived at the traitorous and troubled the dynasty, and it can be said that he was blinded by Xiaoxiao for a while, and after the emperor secretly killed his mother, he couldn't say anything. The mourning family can't teach their son, but they don't want the emperor to be ruined! Not even if it's just a rumor! After all, Cixi has raised Guangxu for more than ten years, and she still has feelings, she is very angry that Guangxu did such a thing, but at least for now, she still wants to protect Guangxu.

"The eldest sister is extremely worried!" Guo Xing'a immediately understood that this matter really couldn't be publicized. The high-level coup d'état in the Qing Dynasty has reached the point of killing the old lady, and it is definitely the biggest scandal in the world. Even if Guangxu was not Cixi's own child, Cixi was also the mother who raised him for more than ten years. Guangxu definitely didn't participate in the planning after the siege of the garden, but the people who planned to do this were all Guangxu's people, and Guangxu couldn't say it clearly.

The emperor of China must be a saint, and the slightest loss of virtue must be pointed out by the ages. After the siege of the garden is absolutely disobedient and unfilial, if Guangxu is charged with this crime, how can he, the emperor, do it. Cixi taught such a son, and there was no way to control the situation anymore. People who are dissatisfied with the imperial court can use this as an excuse to make trouble, and they will definitely get the support of many people, because the Qing royal family has reached the bottom line of morality.

Everyone was almost caught, and in order to avoid gossip, Cixi quickly hooked up key culprits. There are seven people on this list, in addition to the six gentlemen that Guo Xing'a has known for a long time, there is also a chamberlain Xu Zhijing, and he is the first to decide. Xu Zhijing was an important member of the imperial party, but he was not the backbone of the reformers. He has made a lot of efforts, Guangxu's "Ming Dingguo is Edict" was drummed up by him, and many people in the Restoration faction were recommended by him, but he has been planning behind the scenes, and he has been relatively stable in his work, and he has not been in the limelight. Cixi didn't hate him very deeply, and the reason why he was ranked first was only because of the official. Sizhangjing is only four products, Yang Shenxiu is only six in the imperial history, Kang Guangren is one among the common people, but Xu Zhijing is a real member from the second grade, he is not the first, who is the first.

Guo Xinga thought that the six gentlemen were going to become seven gentlemen! As a result, Xu Zhijing escaped. Lao Xu himself is the backbone of the imperial party, and he offended people during the reform and reform period, and it must be no fun to count on his friends to catch him. Lao Xu thought about it himself, with his merits in the reform and reform, he would definitely be unable to escape death this time, so he never thought that he would be able to survive, and his children and nephews even had coffins ready, but fortunately, the old man in his family gave him strength.

In the twenty-seventh year of Daoguang, there were two candidates who took the exam at the same time in the examination shed, one of them was surnamed Li and the other was surnamed Xu. As a result, the candidate surnamed Li had malaria and the essay could not be completed. The candidate surnamed Xu was enthusiastic and went to visit the patient next door, and Li sighed, "There is no hope in this department, it's over." Xu asked, "How many have you done?" Li said that he had only transcribed one article, and two of them were drafts, and he was sick before he had time to revise them, and he was trembling with a pen and unable to finish the article. Xu said to me, I'll sort out and copy it for you, and hand it in to try. As a result, Li fell into the Jinshi in one fell swoop, and since then he has been on the rise, but Xu has always been in the position of the magistrate. The difference in the identities of the two is very big, but the relationship in the same year is unusually deep, and the candidate surnamed Li does not dare to forget the great kindness of Brother Xu Nian for a moment. The candidate surnamed Li is Li Hongzhang, the prime minister of Hefei, and the candidate surnamed Xu is Xu Zhijing's old man Xu Weihou.

The old man of the Xu family has become an ancient, but Li Hongzhang has not forgotten the kindness of Brother Xu Nian, Xu Zhijing is finished, and the first one who can't sit still is him. On the day Xu Zhijing was arrested, Li Hongzhang kept walking in the yard, Xu Zhijing must be saved, but he will only get worse if he comes forward in this matter. Although the crime has not yet been determined, Lao Li, who is well-informed, knows that the nephew of the Xu family will not escape death this time. After struggling for a long time, Lao Li finally gritted his teeth and decided to ask Rong Lu for help.

"My nephew Xu Zhijing is a nerd, he sings Kunqu opera every day, and he doesn't understand the new policy, please Rong Zhongtang must tell me about his personal feelings." Li Hongzhang pulled down his old face and directly found Rong Lu and cried.

"Xu is going to commit it! Before and after the change, he was mostly planning, Kang and others were just jumping off the beam, he was the main master! Rong Lu said that he was embarrassed, Lao Xu was the backbone of the imperial party, and there were too many things planned before and after the change, and now Cixi was angry, and he was also weak-hearted.

"The young nephew was confused for a while, please save his life!" Lao Li also fought hard, and almost knelt down to kowtow to Rong Lu, forcing Rong Lu to agree. Rong Lu has a general reputation, he is actually an insightful person, he also has to engage in foreign affairs, and he needs Lao Li's help in all aspects, so he really can't refute Lao Li's face.

The next day, Rong Lu met with the Empress Dowager Cixi and saw the list of convictions, the first place was Xu Zhijing, "beheaded", and the following were Tan Si and the other six people. I don't know where to start, he knows that Xu Zhijing is going to be a criminal, but he doesn't know that this guy is ranked first!

"The Queen Mother is wise, these people deserve it, but Xu Zhijing heard that he is a nerd, singing Kunqu opera and playing the flute at home all day long, he doesn't understand the new policy, I'm afraid he was deceived." Rong Lu opened his mouth hard.

"Xu Zhijing is not a good thing, he separates my mother and son, why do you protect him?" Cixi blew up directly, Xu Zhijing was not a reformer, but he was the backbone of the imperial party, Rong Lu came to intercede for him, is this to leave a way back for Guangxu?

"The slave didn't dare, but according to the slave, after Xu Zhijing was promoted to the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, the emperor did not summon him, so he felt that he might have been deceived." Rong Lu's sweat came down at that time, and the old lady has been in a bad mood recently, and it is not worth it to save Xu Zhijing and put herself in again.

The old lady asked Cui Yugui to check the file, and sure enough, Emperor Guangxu didn't summon Xu Zhijing for three months, Rong Lu thought that this was it, but he didn't think that none of the eunuchs around the old lady were vegetarians. Cui Yugui checked Xu Zhijing, Guangxu didn't summon Xu Zhijing, in fact, it was because Lao Xu had his ears behind his ears and always spoke loudly, Guangxu had ears on the partition wall, so he didn't see him, and he used music to communicate with each other. At this time, Rong Lu was embarrassed, and was scolded by Cixi again, so he could only keep muttering "slave confused" and retreated.

Xu Zhijing was not rescued, and Rong Lu was involved, and Lao Li was even more scorched, but the eldest nephew of the Xu family couldn't ignore anything, Lao Li could only be shameless again, and went straight to the Old Summer Palace to find Guoxing'a. Lao Li and Guo Xing'a don't have much intersection, they did business in their early years, but they didn't have any deep friendship, and this time they also went to the doctor in a hurry. On this earth, there is only one Guoxing who can persuade Cixi now.

"The Xu family has a great favor with the old man, and the old man can't sit idly by and watch his nephew die, so he can only ask the general for help!" Guo Xing'a was kind and polite to Li Hongzhang, but Lao Li moved out of the rhetoric against Rong Lu, but Guo Xing'a didn't match it at all. Lao Li, who had no choice, could only tell the truth, and then knelt down in front of Guo Xing'a very simply.

"Receiving the grace of dripping water should be reciprocated by the spring, Li Zhongtang is high-spirited and bright, and the younger generation admires! Xu Zhijing had a lot of trouble this time, but his heart was also for the country, and he was not involved in the treacherous conspiracy of the Kang Party, I went to the Queen Mother to ask for this favor! Li Hongzhang, who has never had a good character, was able to do this in order to repay his kindness, and Guo Xing'a was also very moved and agreed directly.

Guo Xing'a went straight to the Forbidden City and said a lot of good things, but Cixi didn't give him this face. Cixi's words were also clear, and she also knew that Xu Zhijing was not involved in the aftermath of the siege and killing, but she had to kill Xu Zhijing, because she wanted to suppress the imperial party. Although Guangxu was under house arrest, some officials of the imperial party still did not stop, and for the stability of the country, Cixi had to make an example of the chickens and monkeys. The court of the Qing Dynasty is already very chaotic, and if the party struggle between the emperor and queen continues, the court is afraid that it will be even more difficult. Cixi must use thunderous means to completely stop the party struggle, and her choice is to suppress the imperial party.

"Xu Zhijing is Li Hongzhang's face, and the old Li has worked hard, so it's not appropriate not to give this face!" Guo Xing'a had no words, and directly poked Li Hongzhang out.

"He's also involved in this?" Cixi's thinking was very fierce, and she was suspicious of Li Hongzhang at once, which was why Li Hongzhang did not dare to come forward.

"The Xu family is kind to Lao Li, Lao Li is repaying the favor, nothing else!" Goxinga hates this kind of inference in political circles.

"The affair is small!" Cixi hesitated, but still refused.

"Eldest sister, leave a seed for tomorrow! We are all old, and the future is young! Goxinga said something he had never wanted to say.

"Alas! …… Let's change to prison! Cixi let out a long sigh and finally relented, she was also in her sixties.
