c_t; Emperor Guangxu came out of the Summer Palace, his mood was a little heavy, and the conversation he had just had made him feel the pressure from Cixi, after all, this was Cixi expressing his dissatisfaction to himself again, and Cixi was very dissatisfied with the chaos that was now reflected in the government and the opposition. ( )

Guangxu also didn't want the Qing Dynasty and the opposition to become chaotic, but now the old school is stubborn and desperately resisting, and it has been nearly a month since he gave his will, except for Chen Baozhen in Hunan, the rest of the local actions are too small, and even some provinces have begun to openly boycott.

Emperor Guangxu did not return to the palace and rushed directly to the Nanhai Hall, although Kang Youwei and others now have official positions, but the family is not in the capital, most people are left to live in the Nanhai Hall, everyone is in the Nanhai Hall to discuss and discuss the implementation of the new policy.

When Emperor Guangxu arrived, some people were still in their respective yamen, only Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao and Yang Rui were in the mansion, and when they heard the news of the arrival of Emperor Guangxu's holy car, they hurried out to greet them and brought Guangxu into the hall.

Kang Youwei asked: "Your Majesty, at this time, you are not resting in the palace, why did you come to the Nanhai Hall, if there is something to do, just directly issue an order to summon the ministers." ”

Guangxu sighed, looked a little lonely, and said: "Nanhai, Zhuo Ru, I didn't come from the palace this time, but went to ask the queen mother to say goodbye. ”

Kang Youwei hurriedly asked: "What, Your Majesty, you went to ask the Queen Mother for peace, and something didn't go your way?" ”

Guangxu replied

Said: "Nanhai, now the dispute between the reform faction and the conservative faction has reached the ears of the Queen Mother, although the Queen Mother still supports my new policy, but still puts forward a warning, asking me to be cautious, and at the same time avoid fierce conflicts with the old faction, so as not to cause turmoil in the government and the opposition. [ran] And Zhang Jianzhi yesterday handed over a piece of music to the imperial court, requesting to visit the United States and conduct business investigations, and now that the domestic situation is unstable, Zhang Jianzhi is going to go to the country, and I am really a little uneasy in my heart......"

Kang Youwei was stunned for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, don't talk about the affairs of the Queen Mother, since you don't want Zhang Jianzhi to go to the United States at this time, and take the decree to ask him to abide by Fengtian and not leave office, can he still dare to disobey the order?" ”

Guangxu smiled bitterly: "Nanhai, where is this matter as simple as you think." Zhang Jianzhi's current visit to the United States is being carried out at the official invitation of the US President, so how can we refuse, and in that case, will we not make the American country lose face? Now that we are in turmoil at home, we should make good alliances with Western powers. ”

Kang Youwei and a few others also sighed bitterly, and there was nothing they could do in the face of this matter.

Guangxu said: "This matter is not so important, after all, Zhang Jianzhi is not gone forever, at least three months, at most half a year, he always has to return, as long as there is no problem during this time, there is nothing to do." It's just that the queen mother is there, but it's a little tricky, it turns out that my mother and I visited the old prince when Prince Gong was critically ill, and the emperor's uncle admonished him on his deathbed, so that I and the queen mother should be wary and impatient in the reform of the law, and make steady progress, Li Hongzhang also admonished me, and now we

The implementation of the new policy is like a storm, which makes the queen dissatisfied, how can this be good? ”

Kang Youwei was slightly dissatisfied in his heart, and replied: "Your Majesty, since you have been in power, then Lafayette should return all the power to the emperor, return the government to the court, and no longer interfere in political affairs. ”

Guangxu's eyes froze, and he said dissatisfiedly: "Nanhai, you have spoken too much, what do you mean by harem politics?" Lafayette is my mother, what is wrong with me doing some teaching, do you want me to become an unfilial person? ”

Kang Youwei hurriedly knelt down: "Weichen is in a hurry, and his words have been offended, please ask the emperor to surrender!" ”

Emperor Guangxu said: "That's it, this matter is over, it's just the next new policy, we really can't slow down, the queen mother said before I brought it out, as long as I don't mess up the Qing Dynasty, he will support me to continue to reform and change the law." Nanhai, Zhuoru, and Tungu, my future new policy will be completely entrusted to you, and my thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and 40,000 people will also be entrusted to you. ”

Kang Youwei hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, Weichen and others will definitely do their best to die for the emperor, and they will definitely implement the new policy!" ”

Guangxu nodded and asked, "Okay, Nanhai, that."

What's next for you? ”

Kang Youwei replied: "Your Majesty, the minister proposes to abolish all post stations in the Qing Dynasty, establish a general post office, and set up telegraph offices in the state capitals of the Qing Dynasty, so that our communication will become extremely convenient, and at the same time, our unnecessary expenses can be reduced; Second, the minister suggested that the green battalion be abolished, and now, the combat power of the green battalion is almost zero, and the role they play in the war is only small, but the annual salary allocated by the imperial court is as much as 2 million taels, which wastes the country's money, and there is no benefit, it is better to let them cultivate the land and pay more taxes for the country. Third, it is also among the heavy, that is, to cancel the privileges of the Manchurian Eight Banners, to abolish the Eight Banners, and to stop paying the flag salary, now the annual imperial court allocates millions of taels of flag salaries, and sometimes it is even close to 10 million taels, if we save this expenditure, then we have the funds to build the railway, and even the money for the training of the new army has been settled, this is the top priority! ”

"Hiss" ......

Emperor Guangxu took a breath of cold air, although the first two items are a little difficult, but if you want to implement them, the obstacles are not very big, after all, there are institutions such as the abolition of Zhan Shifu in front, and the abolition of post stations and green battalion soldiers will not encounter too big problems, but the abolition of the Eight Banners, the suspension of the payment of flag salaries, and the cancellation of Manchurian privileges, this is a big deal, and it is a big thing, one is not good, it will cause the foundation of the Qing Dynasty to be unstable. Guangxu doubted: "Nanhai, are your steps too big, the first two, there is no problem, we can implement it immediately, but the Eight Banners will be abolished, the payment of flag salaries will be stopped, and the full will be cancelled."

Human privileges, this matter is a fatal matter, if one is not handled well, it will be a big mess. Kang Youwei said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, with all due respect, today's Eight Banners have already lost the sharpness of the time when they entered the customs, and their combat power is not one in ten, and it is difficult to play any role in the Qing Dynasty, and it has been difficult to play any role in the Qing Dynasty for decades.
