c_t; The next morning. [ ]

Guangxu had just sat down, and the salute of the hundred officials had been completed.

Guangxu shouted impatiently: "The Ministry of Rites is still the book of Xu Yingqi, Waitabu!" ”

Xu Yingqi and Huaitabu were respectively appointed as the Manchu Han Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and they were the highest person in charge of the Ministry of Rites, the chief official of the department, and when they saw Emperor Guangxu taking a roll call, they hurriedly walked out of the court and fell to the ground.

Guangxu shouted: "Xu Yingqi, Waitabu, as early as a month ago, I had already issued a holy decree to open up the way of speech, allowing folk scholars and the Beijing Hall below the fourth rank of the court to write and make suggestions for the country's plan. Let me ask you Wang Zhao, the head of the Ministry of Rites, how many times he has made excerpts, why I have never seen his excerpts, Wang Zhao's folded copies? ”

Xu Yingqi and Waitabu were shocked in their hearts, and said in their hearts, how could the two of us suppress Wang Zhao's excerpt reach the emperor's ears, this, what kind of person is this, spread out.

Xu Yingqi steadied his mind and replied: "Your Majesty, Wang Zhao, the head of the Ministry of Rites, is a wild man with a wild name, and he is ambitious and talented, so he can't be trusted, this person has repeatedly handed the folded book to the imperial court, trying to please Tianyan, but in the folded book, there are some absurd and ignorant words, and even there is a move to encourage the emperor's heart by virtue of the righteousness of the Restoration. ”

Guangxu said angrily: "Presumptuous, since I have passed the decree to allow them to write and say things, I am not afraid that they will have things that exceed the standard in this chapter, you will not play the court, since you have secretly withheld this chapter, what are your intentions?" If you don't hurry up and present this chapter to me, even if what Wang Zhao said is ridiculous, I will be lenient, how can I let you read it;! ”

Waitabu took a step forward and said: "Your Majesty, even if you are the Supreme of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, you also need to understand the way of heaven, Wang Zhao He has always been able to fiddle with the Western political system, and his words are all absurd words, which are contrary to the thousands of years of inheritance of my Qing Dynasty. ( ) can be sparse, otherwise, let these chapters enter the palace at will, just afraid that the emperor's time will be wasted, wouldn't it be ridiculous! The minister thought that the imperial court should issue an edict to severely reprimand Wang Zhao and his ilk and beat them away from their luck......"

How could Emperor Guangxu listen to the rebuttal of Waitabu and others. He said angrily: "Since I have decreed that the way of speech is widespread, that is, anyone can go up and talk about things. If you don't get convicted for your words, otherwise, who else in this world dares to give advice to me and recommend talents? It's hateful that you are so wanton and reckless, and you dare to speak tricks! Passed the decree, dismissed Waitabu and Xu Yingqi from their positions as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, drove out of the capital, and never used it! Revolution went to Kunxiu, Xu Huifeng, Pu Ying, Zeng Guanghan and other four people to serve the left and right of the Ministry of Rites. (Advertisement) repatriated to his hometown, imprisoned and thought! ”

Emperor Guangxu took a breath, and then said: "Passing the decree, Wang Zhao, the head of the Ministry of Rites, is not afraid of the strong emperor, and his courage is commendable. Let him do his work with his heart, and don't be disappointed, but if he has merit, I will not hesitate to reward him! ”

When Guangxu passed down the will, when Waitabu and the others had just left the hall, a eunuch outside the palace gate shouted: "The Queen Mother Lafayette has arrived!" ”

Guangxu was shocked when he heard this. Hurriedly stood up from the dragon chair and walked down the dragon case, but at this time, Cixi had already entered the Qianqing Palace with the support of Li Lianying.

The ministers hurriedly knelt down and paid homage to the Empress Dowager Cixi, who waved her hand and said, "All the ministers should be even." No need to kneel. ”

Guangxu hurriedly greeted Shi Li and said: "Dear father, why did you suddenly come to the court today, and you didn't notify your son in advance, so that your son could prepare early?" ”

Cixi snorted coldly and said, "Is it okay if the mourning family doesn't come to the court?" Yesterday, dozens of ministers knelt in front of the gate of the Summer Palace, asking for an audience, Your Majesty, what are you doing, you implement the new policy, and the mourning family supports you, but didn't I tell you, also guard against impatience and impatience, and advance steadily, you see, now the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, all complaining, boiling and boiling against the sky, if it goes on like this, let's Qing Dynasty, do you still want it? Do you want to expel all the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty from the court? ”

Guangxu hurriedly knelt down and said: "Dear father, the sons don't dare, the sons and daughters are implementing the new policy, it is in accordance with your decree, and now the new deal is being promoted, but it has been hindered by some ministers in the court, not that the sons and daughters are anxious, but they are really hateful, and they are actually disobedient to the yin and yang, perfunctory below, and have nothing to do. We can't afford to delay it anymore. ”

Cixi snorted coldly and said, "That's it, you get up first, you are the king of a country, and now you are above the court, you must pay attention to the dignity of the king." ”

Guangxu agreed and stood up from the ground.

The eunuch brought a chair to Cixi and placed it on the side of the dragon case, Cixi sat down, and Guangxu also returned to the dragon chair.

Cixi asked: "Your Majesty, let's not talk about anything else, what is going on with the Ministry of Rites today, you actually dismissed all six court officials in one go, what are you going to do?" Shangshu and the waiter are all dismissed, who will take care of the affairs of the Ministry of Rites, a huge Ministry of Rites, there are many affairs every day, you don't want to think about it, the mind is all dismissed, what to do with the handover of this affairs, there is no one who is familiar with the affairs of the Ministry of Rites staring at the Ministry of Rites, who will be responsible for the affairs of the Ministry of Rites? Ridiculous! ”

Guangxu's face was gloomy, and he replied: "Dear father, this matter really can't be complained about by the sons, the sons and daughters made a special decree as early as a month and a half ago, asking for a wide range of words, allowing the Beijing officials in Beijing not to be restricted by rank, they can write and say things, and the people who have meritorious names can also directly write and say things, so that the talented people below can make suggestions and suggestions, and jointly implement the reform and reform of the law, in order to enrich the country and strengthen the army. The great reform and reform were made a mess by them, and the ministers were angry for a while, so they dismissed them all from their posts and investigated them. ”

Cixi said angrily: "Confused, you are the king of a country, the form is so reckless, two first-class officials, four second-class officials, you don't even talk to the ministers below, just make a decision, don't you think about it, aren't you afraid of provoking criticism?" Could it be that the seven or eight ministers of the Military Aircraft Department are all furnished? Do things like this, how can you let go of the mourning family and let you go and implement the new policy? ”

"This ......" Guangxu was reprimanded by Cixi for his poor reasoning, and he didn't know how to deal with it, so he had to look at Weng Tonggong, hoping to get some support from Weng Tonggong.

Weng Tongyi was helpless, stood up hard, and said: "Lafayette, please calm the anger of the thunder, now the emperor is still pro-government, and he naturally has his own ideas, we can't always let the emperor do things with his hands and feet, right?" ”

"Presumptuous!"

Cixi finally broke out completely, and roared at Weng Tongxiao: "Weng Tongxiao, this is the good thing you did!" (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
