Chapter 926: Reform and Change
With Ito Hirobumi's seppuku, an infighting in the Chinese cultural circle has finally come to an end. The world is too peaceful, but the Qing Dynasty, which relied on his brother to send troops to get out of the predicament, was very embarrassed, and their Westernization movement became a big joke. The Manchurian brother was very interesting to help, and the Qing Dynasty itself also worked hard to invest in the family, and in the end, he couldn't even beat the two vassals, and the Westernization movement of the Qing Dynasty was really nonsense.
Yi Xin, Li Hongzhang, Zhang Zhidong and other Western-style cadres have red faces, and the old lady Cixi, who has taken a back seat, is also disgusting, their thirty years of hard work are all blind tossing, this kind of blow is really too big. Shame is shame, the monarchs and ministers of the Qing Dynasty can't be decadent, life still has to live! The reforms that cooled down with the collapse of the European powers suddenly became hot again, and the current crisis of the Qing Dynasty was worse than being bullied by the great powers. It's not a shame to be beaten by a strong man who is 1.8 meters old if he is not in good health, but if he is slapped by a three-year-old child every day, he will really not be able to live. Everything needs to be saved by the Manchurian brothers, what is the meaning of the existence of the Qing court.
"Please come to Beijing for a walk! Our sister and brother haven't seen each other for a while, so let's go to the Old Summer Palace and catch up on the old days! "Guo Xing'a was split from the Qing system, he can do Manchuria well, naturally there is a way to do a good job in the Qing Dynasty, Cixi wants to save the Qing Dynasty, naturally she has to ask this fifth brother for help.
After Beijing extended an invitation to Changchun, Guo Xing'a happily went with his little wife and three young children. Guo Xing'a also felt that it was time for the Qing Dynasty to change, and at the same time, he also wanted to go back to the Old Summer Palace, where he had fought. The general's special train directly sent Guoxing'a to the outskirts of Beijing. The Qing Dynasty allowed railways to enter the Guannai, but it still did not allow railways to be close to any military fortresses and important cities, especially Beijing. Guo Xing'a did not enter Beijing, but went directly to the Old Summer Palace, the place he had worked so hard to keep.
"This is it, I commanded the troops to defend the Old Summer Palace here, and then a group of rebels rushed in, and even snatched my battle map!" After Cixi took Guangxu to warmly receive Guoxing'a, the first thing she did was not to discuss state affairs, but to engage in some entertainment programs first. Guo Xing'a took his little wife Nalan and a few children to visit the Old Summer Palace, and his former headquarters Kyushu Qingyan was the focus of his visit.
"Yun Xian was the enemy of the country back then, and his hard work was high!" Cixi, who is used to being the protagonist, has become a supporting role today, and she has a few words of praise for face.
Guo Xing'a sighed for a while, and the two sides finally sat down in the Changchun Immortal Pavilion. Cixi chose this place to negotiate, which can be regarded as attentive. Changchun Xianguan also used to be the headquarters of Guoxing'a, and there is the word Changchun here, which just matches the name of the capital of Manchuria. Guo Xing'a and Cixi wanted to talk about business, so Nalan took the children out to play, leaving only Guo Xing'a, Cixi, Guangxu, Yixin, Li Hongzhang and a few others.
"Yun Xian, thank you, I won't say more, Changchun's kindness to the imperial court, we will never forget. It's just that the court is too ...... at the moment Alas! No change is no longer possible! We have been engaged in foreign affairs for decades and have no effect, I think this road will definitely not work, how do you think the next step is to rectify the imperial court in order to change? Looking for Guo Xing'a to come over, he asked about the plan, and Yixin simply asked straight to the point.
"In the past, when it was defeated by the European powers, everyone in the world said that the imperial court was inferior to others, but in Southeast Asia's war against Britain and France, the equipment of the imperial court has been greatly improved, and it has also played a majestic role, and everyone feels that they can finally exhale and raise their eyebrows. Unexpectedly, this time the two countries committed rebellion, and the imperial army made a disgraced face. Li Hongzhang, who has entered the twilight of his life, is a little decadent, the career he has worked hard all his life is actually a joke, how can he, the prime minister, not be decadent.
"It is not only weapons that rely on war, but also weapons if China wants to maintain the status of the Celestial Empire. In the era of cold weapons, the weak Xiucai can't beat the powerful martial arts, but in the era of technical weapons, the simple martial arts are definitely not the opponent of the Xiucai. The Qing Dynasty wanted to be rich and strong, to make the people rich and strong, and to make the people knowledgeable, so that everything would have a good foundation. "Guo Xing'a doesn't want the Qing Dynasty to become too powerful, because after the Qing Dynasty becomes rich and strong, he will definitely want to annihilate his feudal town. However, Guo Xing'a sincerely hopes that the people of the Qing Dynasty will be good, and the Chinese nation will no longer be bullied by foreigners, and it is time to study and study the issue of improving people's livelihood.
"The people are rich and know the etiquette of loyalty, righteousness, and etiquette, and the country is naturally prosperous, which is indeed the right theory!" Yi Xin nodded in agreement, but he was still waiting for Guo Xing'a's next sentence, education alone could not solve all problems.
"Education is the foundation of everything, but also the starting point of everything, when there is this starting point, the political, military and other aspects of the system reform, the imperial court ......" Guo Xing'a felt that the Qing Dynasty had accumulated a lot of weight, and it was necessary to start with the education reform, step by step, but before he finished his words, a eunuch hurriedly ran in.
"Bastard, damn minion, don't you see that my father, I, Sixth Uncle and Li Zhongtang are discussing with Uncle Guoxing? How dare you be rude and disturb! Guo Xing'a's words were interrupted, and everyone's eyes were also attracted to this eunuch, but before everyone could say anything, the young Guangxu Emperor jumped up first.
"The slave deserves to die, the slave is guilty, please long live the anger!" The eunuch had no position, just a little eunuch running errands, and when he saw that Guangxu's face was not good, he was immediately scared into a kowtow.
"Say it! What's up? Guangxu just showed respect in front of Guo Xing'a, not really angry at all.
"The Beijing Central School is in a hurry, and the long live lord explained before that he saw the fold and set up a batch, so the minions did not dare to delay, and they were sent over immediately!" The little eunuch presented seven or eight copies.
"Blind minions, won't they watch for a while? Uncle Guoxing came from Changchun to teach me, what else could be more important than this? Uncle, I'm really sorry! Guangxu got up and scolded the eunuch again, then turned around and apologized to Guo Xing'a.
"The emperor works hard and works diligently in government affairs, which is the image of the Ming monarch, a great thing! We're just talking, and we're not in the way. I also want to spend some time in Beijing, catching up with the eldest sister and the sixth master, what we have is time! Because of some original impressions, Guo Xing'a has always seen Guangxu well, and Guangxu's actions made Guo Xing'a feel that he had a high emotional intelligence.
"Please kiss Daddy!" After Guangxu took the fold, he didn't look at it, but put it in front of Cixi with both hands.
"The emperor is already in power, just make up your own mind, you don't have to ask me about everything, this old woman!" Cixi is old, and she is already a little sluggish, although she is not worried about Guangxu and the power of the war, but in fact, she doesn't want to ask about everything.
"The son is stupid, and he has to teach his father more!" Guangxu is like a good baby, Guo Xing'a is very puzzled how the two fell out later.
"Old Five! Bring the children to play in the garden first! I still can't be idle, old sister! We'll talk another day! "Cixi's meeting with Guoxing'a in the Old Summer Palace today is well known to the government and the opposition, and she also sent an excerpt over at this time, and there is nothing good to say about it. Although Cixi wanted to listen to Guo Xing'a's opinion more, she was afraid that there would be something in these twists and turns that Guo Xing'a could not hear, so she could only suspend the conversation.
"Okay, no hurry, no hurry!" Guo Xing'a was also afraid that these twists and turns would scold him, and he didn't want to be embarrassed.
Cixi, Guangxu and others got up to say goodbye, and Guo Xing'a also got up and took two steps. When he turned to come back, Guo Xing'a couldn't help but think of something. The center of the court already has the intention of changing the law and improving itself, and it is estimated that the young talents below will not be able to sit still, Guo Xinga can't help but think of a few people; "Kang Youwei, Liang Qichao, Tan Si are ......" inadvertently, Guo Xing'a said the names of several people. Cixi, who had just walked out not far away, looked back at Guo Xing'a in surprise when she heard it.
Cixi, Guangxu and their entourage turned back to Kyushu Qingyan, and after reading the folds handed over, they were inevitably a little entangled for a while. The excerpt is a large number of Qingliu led by Weng Tonggong and others, and the meaning is very clear, the imperial court urgently needs to change the law and improve itself, but it must not learn from Manchuria. The reason is very good, Guo Xing'a has never given up the idea of reunifying China, and the establishment of the Chinese Federation is the most obvious example. The reason why Guoxinga did not wave his army into the customs was that he wanted to change the dynasty through war accidents. If the imperial court changes the law and learns from Manchuria, a large number of Manchurian personnel and systems will inevitably enter the imperial court, and the imperial court will be owned by Manchuria in a few decades! The officials suggested continuing to study the Anglo-French system, and came up with a whole set of plans that looked very much like that. It is very likely that Guoxinga will encroach on the imperial court in a subtle way, although Britain and France were flattened by Guoxinga's nuclear weapons, but their system is indeed desirable, which makes Cixi entangled.
"Dear father, there is no major external trouble in the imperial court at the moment, and the change can be done slowly, so there is really no need to take too many risks. Erchen felt that it was more prudent to learn from Europe than from Manchuria. Guangxu was the first to stand up and express what he meant, and inadvertently glanced at Yixin and Li Hongzhang.
"What the emperor saw is not unreasonable, but the fifth child is in the garden, and the meaning of our question also explains, now that he has changed his course, I am afraid that the fifth child will have a mustard in his heart!" Cixi actually felt that the idea of cleaning up this time was more reliable, but she was worried about offending Guo Xing'a.
"Yun Xian is open-minded, some small things are not in the way, I want him to explain!" Yi Xin faintly felt that something was wrong, Weng Tongxiao's gang was rarely reliable, and it was not their gang that engaged in their own hawks back then. However, the glance that Guangxu swept over gave Yi Xin a lot of pressure, Yi Xin was really old.
"It's okay, it's okay to try!" Cixi saw that Yi Xin did not object, and nodded slowly.
