c_t; The matter of the Summer Palace soon reached Guangxu's ears, after all, dozens of ministers knelt outside the gate of the Summer Palace together to ask for an audience, and it was also the first time since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, although Guangxu didn't know what everyone was talking about in front of Cixi, but what good things could be, those people were more stubborn than one another, they were all old stubborn, and they were afraid that they had been refuted by them for nothing. [ ]

Today's things, Guangxu also faintly has a trace of regret, Li Hongzhang is actually Cixi for Guangxu set up the reform party and the old school between the shield, is the buffer zone of the two factions, now Li Hongzhang is withdrawn, Li Hongzhang directly called sick, this time it's good, the new party and the old school directly hand-to-hand, there is no room for maneuver, after all, Li Hongzhang is still faintly on his side, now Li Hongzhang is gone, the new party, now only Weng Tonggong is left, if Weng Tonggong has any accidents, I am afraid that the reform and reform will be implemented even more difficult.

Guangxu sighed heavily, now he is also riding a tiger, he never dreamed that these old-fashioned ministers would be so resistant to the reform of the law, not only the ministers of the court, even the governors of various places, but also extremely resistant, except for Chen Baozhen in Hunan and Yiketanga in Jilin, there is no province to come from the good news of the implementation of the new policy, everyone is perfunctory, procrastinating to deal with it, Guangxu except worried, there is no countermeasure.

Just when Emperor Guangxu was in trouble, the eunuch outside the door said: "Your Majesty, Tan Sitong and Liang Qichao are here and ask the emperor to receive them." ”

When Guangxu heard the eunuch's words, he woke up from his contemplation, lifted his spirits, and said, "It is rumored that the two of them will meet each other." ”

After a while, Tan Sitong and Liang Qichao entered the house and finished saluting Guangxu.

Guangxu asked: "Fusheng, Zhuoru, you two came to see you late at night, what's the matter?" ”

Tan Sitong and Liang Qichao glanced at each other, and Liang Qichao replied, "Your Majesty." The minister worked in the Ministry of Rites and made a close friend, who was Wang Zhao, the director of the Ministry of Rites. A few days ago, Wang Zhao wrote an excerpt about the reform of the law. It was handed over to the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites and asked him to forward it to the emperor. As a result, he was suppressed by Zuo Shilang; Wang Zhao then handed the excerpt to Shangshu Xu Yingqi, but Xu Yingqi still thought that what the excerpt said was too wild, and pressed the excerpt down, and now Wang Zhao handed four excerpts in a row was pressed down by the Ministry of Rites, and finally Wang Zhao had to find the minister and ask the minister for help. ”

"What!" Guangxu was in a bad mood, but when he heard Liang Qichao's words, it was like adding fuel to the fire, and his anger was instantly ignited.

Guangxu shouted angrily: "Zhuoru." How could this be, I had already made a decree to allow the people to write and talk about things, not to mention the officials of the court? Do these people in their Ministry of Rites still want to do things? If you don't want to do anything, then change people as soon as possible! ”

Liang Qichao replied: "Your Majesty, there are too many old-fashioned ministers in the court now, and they are obedient to the will of the court. Some even refuse to even work face, and directly resist, if this continues, our new policy will only be able to see the results one day, and the emperor has now changed the law from the reform to the present, and it has been three months since the emperor changed the law. In the entire Guannai, except for the economic development of the private sector to open mines and factories, and to establish new schools, almost everything else is standing still. ”

Guangxu said angrily: "Then what now? If we take down all these local ministers, who will go up? Those are all second-grade feudal officials, and these old-fashioned ministers in the court are even more important ministers from the first rank and the first grade. Where are we going to take so many people to top the tank? ”

Liang Qichao replied: "Your Majesty, it seems now that it is true that before we implemented the new policy, the difficulties were estimated to be too small, I knew that this was the case, Your Majesty really shouldn't let Zhang Jianzhi go to the United States, if we encounter a problem, we can summon it to the Beijing Division, ask for countermeasures, now he is only afraid that he is still floating on the sea, the news is not clear, even if we want to ask, we can't contact him reads;." ”

In this matter, Guangxu Fang felt that there were too few talents available in his hands. In addition to the leaders of the Restoration, there are also trustworthy people available?

Guangxu said in a deep voice: "Zhuo Ru, I heard that you have a very good relationship with Fusheng and Zhang Jian, how much do you know about Fengtian's new policy, now that our new policy has been three months, there are many obstacles, but Fengtian has been able to successfully promote it, where is the difference?" ”

Tan Sitong replied: "Your Majesty, in fact, the key is that there is a difference between two things, first, talents, when Zhang Jianzhi was promoting the new policy, he directly asked Lord Li Hongzhang for a large number of students studying in the United States, these people have returned from studying in the United States, and have experienced more than ten years of experience in China, and their talents and experience are very rich. However, there is no problem at all with serving as a third-grade official and a fourth-grade official, and it has become the backbone of the Fengtian New Deal, and our group of people who have studied abroad are all funded by Zhang Jianzhi, and after our group of people returned to China, many people stayed directly in Fengtian, which made the Fengtian New Deal go deeper and have more strength, and at the same time, Zhang Jianzhi has been in the West for a long time, and he is very familiar with the reform and reform of the law, and he is still above us, with these conditions, the New Deal will naturally advance rapidly. Second, Zhang Jianzhi's implementation of the new policy was tacitly approved by the emperor and the queen mother, and he held a heavy army, and was able to exert thunderous means in Mukden, in the name of anti-corruption, the old forces in Fengtian were cleaned up most of the brains, and at the same time confiscated the officials' family property, filled the treasury, and cleared the huge obstacles for the reform and reform, but we can't, one is that the qualifications of the people in our hands are very shallow, and it is okay to serve as the prefect and the head of a department, but the qualifications of the governor and even the squire and the secretary are still far behind, and the promotion is difficult to achieve. It is because we are promoting the use of talents to change the law, and there is a great problem; At the same time, we do not have the military power in our hands, although the emperor has been pro-government, but the absolute part of the military power is still in the hands of the queen mother's trust, without the military power as a backing, the emperor wants to kill the Quartet like Zhang Jianzhi and strongly promote the change, it is unimaginable. ”

Guangxu said hatefully: "Soldier power, military power!" Hateful, hateful! If I have a brigade of elites in my hands, I will definitely clarify the universe and drive all those incompetent people out of the court! ”

Liang Qichao said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it won't help to talk about this matter now, let's deal with the affairs of the Ministry of Rites first." ”

Guangxu nodded and said, "Okay, tomorrow morning, I will question Xu Yingqi and see how this old man copies!" (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. )
