Chapter 928: Nonsense

Cixi didn't know why Guangxu wanted to kill his teacher with his own hands, but Guangxu knew very well that his teacher Weng Tongyi had fallen behind and had become an obstacle to his restoration of power, so he had to reluctantly cut his love. Since the matter of changing the law was put on the agenda, the young Guangxu Emperor has been exposed to many new things, and he can't stop Weng Tonggong's earnest teachings. If the teacher who grew up with him just nagged, Guangxu might be able to endure it, but when the teacher blocked his pace and violated his will, Emperor Guangxu was not polite.

The contradiction between Guangxu's teachers and students is not a day or two, but a long-term problem, which gradually accumulates into an irreparable rupture. After the imperial party put forward the idea of learning from Europe, the Guangxu Emperor began to treat the remaining European envoys, but Weng Tongyi had different opinions, and then embarrassment appeared. Guangxu wanted to meet with European envoys in the Qianqing Palace, but Weng Tongyi objected. Guangxu approved that the chariots and horses of the European envoys could enter the forbidden gate directly, but Weng Tongyi objected. The Italian envoy visited Beijing, and Guangxu was ready to meet him at the Yuqing Palace, and at the same time approved him to enter the Donghua Gate in a sedan chair, but Weng Tongyi still objected. Guangxu is completely crazy, why do you Weng Tongyi oppose everything, Cixi's father is not so right to me. Guangxu, who had been a little delayed in the rebellion period, was extremely angry and had a big fight with his teacher for the first time.

Guangxu and Weng Tongyi completely broke up, not because of these chicken and dog bits and pieces, but because of one person-Kang Youwei. Kang Youwei is quite prestigious among the people, known as the great Confucian of the South China Sea, and a capable person who has changed the rule of law, so Guangxu wants to meet this great god, but Weng Tongyi still disagrees. Weng Tongyi is one of the main forces of the change, how could he not have heard Kang Youwei's reputation, because he had supported Kang Youwei's strong society, he had a comprehensive understanding of this big fool who deceived the world and stole his name, he was afraid that the young Guangxu would let Kang Da fool him, so he directly disagreed with Guangxu summoning Kang Youwei.

After Guangxu and Weng Tonggong argued a few times, he still took a step back, and he was ready to summon Kang Youwei's fellow countryman Zhang Yinyuan. It is said that this person has a broad vision, supports the reform of the law, and understands Kang Youwei's views very well. Emperor Guangxu asked Weng Tonggong to introduce this person, but Weng Tonggong still refused, and he fought with Guangxu for a long time. Weng Tongyi is one of the few people in the imperial party who has held real power, and he knows very well who the so-called Kang Party is helping, and he really doesn't want Guangxu to be influenced by them, and the whole change is deviated. However, Guangxu didn't understand this, so he saw that the teacher was disobedient, and the teacher insisted on carrying his orders and not carrying them out.

After the master and apprentice faced each other for a period of time, Guangxu still had to summon Kang Youwei, Zhang Yuanji, Huang Zunxian, Tan Si and others, but Weng Tongyi still advocated that "it should be slowed down". Guangxu couldn't bear anything this time, so he directly got angry with the teacher, and the two had a big quarrel in the Heart Cultivation Palace. Weng Tongyi, who was used to being a teacher, also failed to correct his position, but still came to Guangxu like a student, and the voices of the two became higher and higher, so frightened that the eunuchs outside the hall knelt on the ground. In the end, Guangxu couldn't bear it anymore and directly deposed his teacher, the only person in the imperial party who could really implement the changes.

The disheartened Weng Tongyi went home to cool off, and Guangxu immediately met Kang Youwei, Zhang Yuanji, Huang Zunxian, Tan Si and others as he wished, but this result was very different from what he imagined. Tan Si and others are okay, Kang Youwei, who is already known as a saint, but it makes Guangxu feel that it is better to meet than to be famous. Kang Youwei is quite thoughtful, but there is always a feeling in his demeanor that makes people look like beating him. Moreover, Guangxu and Kang Da Sage can hardly communicate, Kang Da Sage's Mandarin is very poor, with a very strong Cantonese accent. Cantonese dialect has a total of nine tones, which is more antique and melodious than the four tones of Mandarin, but there is only one perception for northerners, that is, they can't understand it. Kang Youwei stumbled for more than ten minutes, but Guangxu couldn't even make up a whole sentence that Guangxu understood, and a meeting with high hopes could only end hastily.

Although Guangxu didn't understand what Kang Youwei said, he still attached great importance to this Kang Da Sage, and gave him an exceptional position as the director of the Ministry of Industry and the position of walking on the Prime Minister Yamen Zhangjing, and allowed him to specialize in things. Kang Youwei is a white ding, and he is directly promoted to this extent, which is also very good, but Kang Youwei is very dissatisfied. Kang Youwei felt that he was after Confucius, he was such a big saint, and there was nothing wrong with directly ruling the power of the world, and a six-grade official was too small. Fortunately, the change has just begun, and Kang Youwei is not in a hurry.

"Middle school is the body, and Western learning is for use?" After the reform began, Guangxu often looked at Zhang Zhidong's book "Persuasion of Learning", and he had a very good impression of this book. There was also a lot of discussion among the courtiers, and many people suggested summoning Zhang Zhidong to Beijing to preside over the reform. However, after thinking about it for a long time, Guangxu still gave up this idea.

Zhang Zhidong is a generation of famous ministers, who has presided over local practice for many years, and is indeed a good candidate to preside over the change of law, but Zhang Zhidong's strategy, Guangxu does not like it. Old man Zhang's method is too slow, everything has to be gradually changed, and it has to be done slowly, if it is done like this, when will the change have a result! It is still better for Kang Youwei, Tan Si and others to have a better point of view, at least the effect is faster, two years of comprehensive revival, and three years of Manchuria. Guangxu is actually very uncomfortable about calling Uncle Guoxing, he really wants to cut off the feudal town and let the Qing Dynasty truly unify the world again.

Guangxu gave up all the old ministers and single-mindedly appointed newcomers to start his own changes. However, after the loss of Weng Tongyi, Guangxu's team became more mixed, and the so-called backward newcomers were actually divided into many factions. Tan Si and others have been greatly influenced by Kang Youwei, while Yang Rui, Liu Guangdi and others are all Zhang Zhidong's people, and of course, there are many rising stars in the clear stream. It's just such a group of people who have never done anything practical, pointing out the country to make changes, the idea may be good, but the operation is a mess, the problem is very obvious, it's too fast. The newcomers took Guangxu and issued an edict, and various measures poured out like a flood that burst the embankment, and offended everyone before it was implemented.

The new law wants to abolish the privileges of the banner people at once, so that the banner people who have eaten the fruits of victory for more than 200 years will be finished while going to the end, and directly offend millions of people in the entire Eight Banners. The banner people are indeed a burden to the state, and their privileges should indeed be abolished, but Guoxinga, who opened the way with a bayonet, does not dare to do it so fiercely! The livelihood of millions of people has been cut off all of a sudden, isn't it uncomfortable! Sure enough, as soon as the edict was announced, the children of the Eight Banners, who were known as the absolute emperor, immediately gave birth to the idea of abolishing Guangxu and establishing a new monarch. Moreover, many of its children are officials of the current dynasty, and they not only have ideas, but also have the ability to turn ideas into reality.

The new law also wants to abolish redundant personnel and clarify the rule of officials, which is also a good thing, but there must be a plan first! There must be an explanation for the elimination of those departments and how to place the personnel! Guangxu didn't arrange anything, so he first shouted the slogan of a big layoff, and the entire officialdom exploded all of a sudden. The company's layoffs will cause panic and a decline in performance, and the layoffs in the imperial court will cause shocks in the government and the opposition. Don't talk about the banner people now, the Han officials also want to kill people, Lao Tzu is a good official, you let me go home, you move Lao Tzu to try, and abolish you faint.

Abolishing the martial arts, eliminating the green battalion, changing the test of guns and artillery, and foreign exercises are even more of an act of looking for death. The Eight Banners and the Green Battalion are the regular army of the Qing Dynasty, and you have been abolished all at once, does the national armed forces rely on the militia? Although the Qing Dynasty has long begun to rely on regiments to train the militia, the 600,000 regular troops cannot be said to have been withdrawn! There has to be a placement. The reformers shouted blindly, but it can be regarded as stimulating these Qiu Ba, they don't have much combat effectiveness, but they really have guns in their hands! The predecessor of the Green Battalion was the Ming Dynasty Army, but they were soldiers who came all the way from the Ming Dynasty, so they could put down their weapons so obediently and fend for themselves? After hearing the news, the officers and soldiers of the green battalion were all gearing up, waiting for the army to be raised.

The reformists also played a trick of destroying themselves with righteousness, abolishing the eight shares and revitalizing Western learning. Even if they haven't taken the Jinshi exam, they are all from reading the Four Books and the Five Classics, which can be regarded as a denial of their own background. They have a certain foundation in Western learning, and now they are all officials, so naturally it doesn't matter, but those old brothers who are still studying hard in the cold window will not do it. Lao Tzu has been studying Bagu Wen all his life, and you suddenly told me not to take this test, so play me! My decades of hard work, your words are all in vain, who will you kill if I don't kill you? When Guoxing'a did this set back then, the base number of scholars in the Northeast was very small, and it was also slowly fed out of sweet dates one by one, and the reformists were really too fierce.

Guangxu issued more than 100 edicts, but none of them could be implemented, so that the nobles of the Eight Banners, the bureaucrats of the world, the Han officers, and the traditional scholars were all offended. This is already a mess, and I don't think Kang Youwei will cause trouble again. The reformers were publicized everywhere, and Kang Youwei also tried his best to assert himself. Even if Guangxu couldn't understand what Kang Youwei was saying, Kang Youwei still claimed everywhere that he was the chief architect of the reform and the helmsman behind the law change. Many people were frightened by him, even Li Hongzhang, Rong Lu and other ministers also felt that Kang Youwei seemed to have a lot of influence, so after feeling that the change was too manipulative, Li Hongzhang and Rong Lu made an appointment with Kang Youwei in the West Flower Hall of the Prime Minister's Yamen, and sincerely hoped that Kang Youwei could slow down and not force people to be anxious.

After Kang Youwei arrived at the West Flower Hall, he didn't care what people were looking for him, so he got on first. Commenting on the current situation, he even talked about several measures, such as establishing a system bureau, a new political situation, training the militia, opening a railway, and borrowing money from Manchuria on a large scale. Kang Youwei is really crazy, Li Hongzhang and Rong Lu, who are the emperors of the court, are like two poor worms who don't understand anything in his eyes. Rong Lu and Li Hongzhang looked at each other and understood, this product is really good, but it really can't do the right thing.

"The law of the ancestors has been in practice for many years, and it has changed suddenly, and the elimination is too radical, only afraid that the world will shake, and I hope to slowly try to do it!" Rong Lu and Li Hongzhang don't like to hook up with fanatics like Kang Youwei, but this Kang Da Sage seems to be the spiritual leader of the Restoration, so the helpless Rong Lu still persuaded him.

"Kill one or two red-topped people, and the law will change!" Rong Lu kindly persuaded him, but Kang Youwei took it back, and looked at Rong Lu and Li Hongzhang's red top with an unkind expression.
