c_t; Rong Lu's uneasiness

Guangxu listened to Kang Youwei's explanation, and saw a glimmer of hope in his heart, for the hope of the rise of the Manchu Eight Banners, although this hope is slim, but it is not non-existent, after all, the Manchu Eight Banners is the most assured armed force of Guangxu, if it can really rise from the new, then who is willing to use Li Hongzhang, who is willing to use Zhang Jianzhi, his own force, Fang is the most reassuring.

Guangxu frowned tightly, this decision was indeed a little difficult, but in the end, Guangxu gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, Nanhai, just do what you want, anyway, the Eight Banners have been eroded to the extreme, even if there is a bad situation, it will not be bad, you can prepare for this matter, write it as soon as possible, and hand it over." ”

Kang Youwei was overjoyed and said loudly: "The emperor is shengming, the emperor is shengming." ”

Three days later, Kang Youwei directly submitted the "Eight Banners of Reform and Reform, Green Battalion Soldiers, and Post Station Fold" to the court, imploring the imperial court to abolish the post station and green battalion soldiers, and the most important thing is to abolish the Eight Banners, stop paying flag salaries, cancel various privileges of the Eight Banners, and allow the Eight Banners to engage in agriculture, business, and imperial examinations like the Han people.

As soon as the twists and turns came out, the civil and military forces were chaotic, Li Hongzhang shook his head and sighed again and again, silent, even if he was a little surprised along with Weng Tongyi, this step of change is really a bit big, however, such a major matter, it is impossible for Kang Youwei not to communicate with Guangxu in advance, how big is this disciple, how big is this disciple, it is not good that even the sky is broken, but since he chose to support the emperor's reform and reform, he must go one way and give up halfway, just afraid that his reputation in his life will be ruined.

But if you don't stop it, such a thing, but with a lot to do with it, I can't imagine that the entire Qing Dynasty will be turned upside down by this matter;!

Just when Weng Tongyi hesitated, Gangyi had already jumped out and shouted: "Kang Youwei, you are so bold, you actually bewitched the emperor and stopped paying the flag salary." Cancel the privilege of the Eight Banners, what are your intentions, domineering is the foundation of the Qing Dynasty, if the Eight Banners are turbulent, will it not shake the foundation of my Qing Dynasty, I think you are a person with ill intentions. Your Majesty, please ask the Emperor to thank the world! ”

Immediately afterwards, Xu Tong, a scholar of the Ministry of Rites and a scholar, also stood up. He raised his voice and said: "Your Majesty, this matter is absolutely not feasible, the Manchurians and the Eight Banners are the foundation of the Qing Dynasty, and once this proposal comes out, it will inevitably lead to chaos in the Eight Banners, which is the way to take chaos." ”

The most fierce is Prince Qing Yixuan, Yixuan actually jumped over directly, and couldn't help but say, first kicked Kang Youwei, who was kneeling on the ground, to the ground. Tie Qing's face was blue, his beard was shaken with anger, and he reprimanded angrily: "Kang Youwei, you traitorous villain, you dare to provoke the relationship between the emperor and the Manchurian Eight Banners, what are your intentions!" ”

Kang Youwei was defenseless for a while, and he suffered such a big loss. Shocked and angry in his heart, he hurriedly knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, Prince Qing openly roared at the court, beat the ministers, and asked the emperor to be the master of the ministers!" ”

Guangxu on the dragon chair didn't expect Prince Qing to be so excited today. openly beating the ministers above the court, this is worth it, Guangxu slapped the dragon book case fiercely, and shouted angrily: "Prince Qing, you are crazy, you dare to beat your colleagues in front of me!" Come on, give me Prince Qing a stick out! ”

The guards outside the main hall swarmed in. If you don't want to say it, you have to do it.

Prince Qing Yixuan, looking bad, shouted: "Slow, Emperor, today's motion, must not be implemented, Emperor, the Eight Banners are our foundation, your will is easy, once something happens, if you want to suppress it, it is as difficult as ascending to the sky, you say that I will drive out, I will immediately go to see the Queen Mother Lafayette, ask Lafayette for a decree, and behead Kang Youwei This scourge!" ”

Yixuan, who is usually not very bold, recently went out, and without waiting for the guards to make a move, he strode out first.

Emperor Guangxu's face turned pale, and he shouted: "I have recently reformed the Eight Banners, just because the Eight Banners have been eroded and no longer look like this, you also know that the Eight Banners are the foundation of the Qing Dynasty, if the foundation of the Qing Dynasty is as virtuous as it is now, can the Qing Dynasty still sit firmly?" I have made up my mind, from now on, I will implement it immediately! ”

The will of the imperial court was soon passed down.

In the evening, Li Hongzhang's mansion reads;.

Zhang Peilun and Yang Shixiang were in Li Hongzhang's house, walking around, Li Hongzhang was sitting on the side, closing his eyes and recuperating.

Zhang Peilun couldn't help it, and asked: "Lord Zhongtang, now that the emperor is carrying out reforms with the support of the reformers, I am afraid that our interests have been touched, and our Beiyang family will also be affected a lot, you see, you can't help but come forward in this matter?" ”

Yang Shixiang also said: "Yes, Lord Zhongtang, we can't always be so silent, now the new deal has involved the defense and military of Beiyang, if it goes on like this, Beiyang will not be ours in the end, it is difficult to say." ”

Li Hongzhang smiled and said: "Youqiao, Shixiang, you don't have to be like this, this Qing Dynasty can't turn the sky upside down, now the emperor is rectifying the military, it is not us who should be anxious, no matter how you say it, now I am not the minister of Beiyang, nor is it the governor of Zhili, which Ronglu University scholar in Tianjin should be anxious about, which one of you the heart, put the heart in your stomach." ”

Tianjin.

Today, Rong Lu no longer knows how many cups he has dropped, Guangxu and the new policy of the Restoration, has seriously infringed on Rong Lu's interests, now Rong Lu is the minister of Beiyang, the entire North China's foreign affairs, defense are in his hands, and at the same time with his position in the Eight Banners, among the Eight Banners, there are too many subordinates, relatives and friends in it, this reform, is nothing less than ripping out his heart and liver, once the rectification is completed, then his status will decline, he is not as powerful as other governors, not to mention the Beiyang family, Most of the power is still in Li Hongzhang's hands, he has only been in office for a short time, and many relationships have not been straightened out, isn't this adding to his own blockage?

Rong Lu scolded Kang Youwei and others with blood, but there was nothing he could do, now he is just a Xinjiang minister, the central thing, even if he has the strength, he can't use it, just like Li Hongzhang back then.

After Prince Qing was kicked out of the Qianqing Palace by the emperor two days ago, he knelt directly outside the Summer Palace for an afternoon, asking to see Lafayette, but he did not get permission.

Rong Lu gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "It seems that I am going to enter the capital again again, and I will go to Li Lianying's place to sit down, if it goes on like this, but it will not work, and the Manchurian country will not be robbed by the Han people?" Your Majesty, you are confused, why are you at the mercy of Kang Youwei and others? I can't say that this time, I instigated a group of people to come together, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to succeed with my own strength, well, first go to Prince Qing, and then go to Lord Fortitude, with the two of them as the backing, I can have some success.
