Chapter 931: Digging for Treasure
After Cixi returned to the palace, although Guangxu did not speak strongly, his performance was not very good, especially when he met with foreign envoys, he still followed the set of ideas of the reformers. Although he did not mention any more alliances and land sales, he also hoped that Britain and France would quickly send people to support their reforms, which made the old lady even more disappointed. In front of me, you are so virtuous, the old lady is gone, you little rabbit cub can't go to heaven! So Cixi made up her mind, and she could only go to the front desk again.
"Ministers, what do you think of the emperor's actions? Is it feasible to change the law? "The third day of Cixi's return to the palace was the Great Dynasty Meeting, the old lady herself sat on the dragon chair of the Qianqing Gate, Guo Xing'a sat on a dragon carved Taishi chair beside her, and Guangxu only had a small Mazha. This situation was already obvious, and Cixi asked about the civil and military officials again.
What did the officials say next, Guo Xing'a couldn't hear it anymore, and he fried the pot directly in front of the Qianqing door, this is the beating of thousands of people with broken drums! The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty seemed to be crazy, and they rushed forward one by one, as if they were going to beat Guangxu. The ministers gritted their teeth and spoke out, and there was no shortage of crying and grabbing the earth. A few important ministers stood in front, and they actually had the behavior of impacting the throne of Qianqingmen, and the spitting stars were about to spray on Guangxu's face. Of course, there are also a few people who maintain the imperial party to speak for Guangxu, but they have long been drowned in the rolling crowd, and there are too many people offended by Guangxu and the reformers.
"Bastard, go down! What's the chaos, what's the system! Supervise the history of the Emperor! The queen mother has her own district, and the ministers must not be chaotic in the court, and this is not a vegetable market! Guangxu's little face turned pale, shrunk into a ball like a quail, Guo Xing'a saw that he was really pitiful, stood up and scolded a few excessive officials.
"The ministers are out of order, please condemn the queen mother!" Twenty years earlier, Goxinga's deterrent power was very great, not to mention now, as soon as he spoke, the ministers immediately all retreated.
"The emperor is messing around, the court is disordered, and the family is mourning...... Woowoo...... Shame on the first emperor, ashamed of the ancestors and ancestors! Cixi began to cry again, and looked at Guo Xing'a with feeling. The ministers fried the pot just now, which also scared her, and Cixi didn't expect Guangxu to have such a big grievance. It's different to have a man by your side! Even if it's my mother's brother! Why is it that his own son doesn't have any fights? The succession is all in vain.
"The ministers respectfully ask the Queen Mother to discipline the government!" The officials are very unified, and the individual who is not unified is also suppressed by their voices.
"For the ancestors, the mourning family can only ...... Alas! Emperor, you have to reflect on your mistakes! Cixi once again listened to the government, ordered to stop changing the law, and began to correct the fallacy of the change, and the treatment of Guangxu only made him reflect more.
After retiring from the dynasty, Guo Xing'a accompanied Cixi to walk in the imperial garden for a long time, which was nothing more than to discuss how to stabilize the situation, how to implement the follow-up changes, and the education of Guangxu. Guoxinga is very satisfied with the situation in front of him, Cixi did not put Guangxu under house arrest, nor did she kill the reformers, and the road of changing the law will continue. Cixi ordered the arrest of Kang Youwei, Liang Qichao and others, this is also reasonable, everything is done by Kang Youwei, and no one will be arrested if he is arrested. However, the tranquility only lasted until dinner, when Cixi and Guoxing'a were having dinner in the Chuxiu Palace, Tianjin Ronglu urgently telegraphed the mutiny, and Yuan Shikai was sent by Zhili to take the lead, and the reformists planned a mutiny that was not conducive to the Empress Dowager Cixi.
Yuan Shikai, who returned to Tianjin from Beijing, kept muttering in his heart, he had a secret in his heart about the extermination of his family, and he didn't dare to mention it to anyone, so he could only let him think about it. After returning to Tianjin, he thought that everything was safe, but he didn't want to receive an order summoned by Rong Lu that night. As soon as Yuan Shikai arrived at the Governor's Palace, he secretly shouted that it was not good, there were many soldiers along the way, and there was a tense posture, something must have happened, what could happen to the mouth on this day? After meeting Rong Lu, Yuan Shikai met Yang Chongyi, the imperial historian from Beijing, and got the latest news of Cixi's discipline. Sweat instantly covered Yuan Shikai's forehead, and the sudden appearance of Yang Chongyi gave him huge psychological pressure, and looked at Rong Lu, who had always promoted and trusted him, Yuan Shikai was entangled for a while, and knelt directly in front of Rong Lu.
"Eun Xiang is in charge of Shikai! Shikai only obeyed the emperor's will, and didn't know anything else, so he didn't want to be calculated by the Restoration, so he saved Shikai by grace! Yuan Shikai hugged Rong Lu's thigh and cried, if he couldn't pass this level today, he would definitely be a family raider.
"Comfort Pavilion!" Rong Lu's tone went up all of a sudden, is Yuan Shikai lacking heart? Yang Chongyi is the imperial history of the imperial court, and Dong Yuanol is second, how can he cover them up. If Yuan Shikai told Rong Lu privately that he was involved with the Restoration, Rong Lu could still help him find a way, and say it in front of Yang Chongyi, how could there be a way to turn around.
"Eun Xiang, Shi Kai doesn't know the inside story! It's just that when I think about it at this time, I know that Tan Si and others have sinister intentions, and they actually intend to harm the Queen Mother and the Manchurian general Yun Xiangong! Yuan Shikai was yelled at by Rong Lu and realized that Yang Chongyi was here to deliver the news, but he didn't know anything, but as soon as he spoke, it was too late.
"What did you say?" Rong Lu's hair also exploded, this is a mutiny!
When Shi Kai entered Beijing to live in Fahua Temple, Tan Sitong visited Zeng Zuo at night, saying that there was a holy will for Shi Kai to kill the grace minister, but Shi Kai insisted on refusing to allow it. Tan Sitong changed his tone, saying that he was testing Shikai's loyalty, and changed his name to ask Shikai to send troops to escort 300 workers to the Old Summer Palace to dig treasures. On the day when Shi Kai met the king, the saint did not talk about this matter, although Shi Kai was suspicious, but he didn't care, thinking that it was just a trick by Tan Si to confuse people's hearts. Today, I was shocked to hear that Yang Yushi told about the situation in Beijing, and I knew that Tan Si was also treacherous, and he originally wanted to use Shikai's hand to force the palace into chaos! Yuan Shikai picked himself clean, in fact, he didn't refuse anything, just played a set of Tai Chi with Tan Si, he didn't know that Cixi would discipline politics at that time, how dare he offend Guangxu's celebrities.
"Urgent telegram change!" Rong Lu immediately believed Yuan Shikai, in addition to the fact that he had always been very optimistic about Yuan Shikai, but also because Yuan Shikai really vaguely told him that the reformers had the idea of killing.
Cixi, who received Rong Lu's change, felt a chill in her back, the reformers and Guangxu actually wanted to kill her, and her son, who had raised her for more than ten years, wanted to kill her, which she couldn't accept no matter what. Cixi ordered someone to strictly investigate the transactions in Guangxu, and sure enough, she found something that was right with what Yuan Shikai said.
"I heard that at the beginning of Emperor Gaozongchun's repair of the Old Summer Palace, there were several kilns with gold and silver patterns under the throne of the palace, and I didn't know where to go for a long time. A few years ago, when he was a university scholar and Minister of the Interior, there was an old man who was more than 80 years old and knew exactly where the cellar was ,......, "This piece of music is called "Playing for the Secret Chen to Search for Emperor Gaozongchun's Cellar of He Mingyuan to Store Gold and Silver Daji", which is hidden in Yang Shenxiu's ordinary recital, which is a clip, and the content is very absurd and bizarre. Yang Shenxiu meant that the amount of money needed to change the law was huge, and the state could not come up with so much money for a while, and he knew that there was a national treasure hidden in a certain place, and suggested that the emperor arrange someone to dig it out secretly.
The national treasure or something is pure nonsense, Qianlong is not a squirrel, let alone a rich man in Shanxi, what are you doing hiding money when you are idle. But the treasure digging plan suggested by Yang Shenxiu is worth scrutinizing. Yang Shenxiu suggested that the emperor use the three hundred workers they recruited to dig up the treasure, and also asked Yuan Shikai to send seven thousand soldiers to guard him, and everything had to be done in secret, without alarming anyone. Three hundred mysterious workers and seven thousand soldiers went to the Old Summer Palace to dig treasures, and then no one told them what treasures they were going to dig. Guo Xing'a lives in the Old Summer Palace, and Cixi's Summer Palace is not far away, whether these people are digging for treasures or trying to kidnap Guo Xing'a and Cixi.
"This rebel!" Cixi thought about everything together, and she understood everything, Guangxu wanted to kill her and Guoxing'a together! Of course, this plan is completely whimsical, how can Yuan Shikai's troops be transferred, how can it be hidden, and Guo Xing'a has 7,000 guards in the Old Summer Palace, how can Yuan Shikai's confused subordinates beat these Manchurian elites. Even if they don't move Guo Xing'a, but just raid the Summer Palace, Guo Xing'a will definitely not sit idly by. But no matter how outrageous the plan was, Guangxu was involved in the plan to murder Cixi, and the old lady Cixi could never accept it.
"Check it, check it, the eldest sister is not angry!" Guo Xing'a is also a little cold, Guangxu, a rabbit cub, even wants to move himself.
I don't know if I don't check, I was shocked when I checked it, the reformists are not very capable, but their ambitions are really not small. Digging up the treasure is a conspiracy, but it is only part of the conspiracy, and Kang Youwei's plan is very big. Kang Youwei's armed coup plan was very powerful, and they planned to instigate Yuan Shikai to assassinate Rong Lu, and then seize full power of Zhili. At the same time, the 300 dead soldiers led by Bi Yongnian directly raided the Old Summer Palace and the Summer Palace in the name of digging treasures. Their plan was to assassinate Guo Xing'a, put the Empress Dowager Cixi under house arrest, and then directly seize the supreme power of the Qing Dynasty. After the coup d'état, he slaughtered all the old ministers, turned the country into a constitutional monarchy, and took over the entire country with Kang Youwei as the prime minister. As for the consequences of the assassination of Goxinga, they decided to put all the blame on Cixi, and then killed Cixi to vent Manchuria's anger.
It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, and before their plan was implemented, Cixi couldn't bear Guangxu's changes because of absurd suggestions such as joining states and selling land, and directly took Guo Xing'a back to the Forbidden City to take back his rights. When Yuan Shikai faced the saint, absurd things such as digging treasures had been corrected, and Yuan Shikai naturally couldn't receive any will, so he could only obediently return to Tianjin as instructed. Without Yuan Shikai's troops, the hundreds of people under Bi Yongnian could not succeed at all, and everyone could only accept the fact that Cixi trained the government again. After Cixi disciplined the government, he did not directly attack them, and the reformers felt that they were keeping secrets well, and they could get through when they stopped fighting, but they didn't want Cixi and Guoxinga to have already mastered all the situation.
"Immediately arrest all the Kang Party villains and move the emperor to Yingtai, Zhongnanhai!" After Cixi learned the whole situation, she directly picked up the butcher's knife, and Guo Xing'a didn't say a word of persuasion.
