Chapter 346: Deposing Weng Tong
c_t; Cixi was already holding her stomach, she didn't want Guangxu to work hard to build the Qing Dynasty well, so that he could also go to see the ancestors and ancestors safely, at least in the Summer Palace don't have to worry about these trivial matters, now it is indeed a mess by Guangxu, the important ministers of the court and the central government went to kneel one after another, there are so many things, what Cixi wants to see most in the Summer Palace is Weng Tongxiao, the emperor, however, in the past two months, he has not seen Weng Tonggong's side!
This Weng Tongyi has long been out of his eyes, the Queen Mother! How unreasonable!
Cixi roared angrily: "Weng Tongxiao, as the emperor, you don't want to serve the emperor, just watching the emperor being bewitched by Kang Youwei and others of the Restoration Party, and you don't even have a useful plan for the reform of the law, what use do you want?" What do you want? After twenty years of hard work, did you teach the emperor these things, and look at what he has done in the past three months? ”
Weng Tongyi couldn't even raise his head when he was scolded by Cixi, knelt down on the court, and didn't dare to speak.
Now Guangxu misses Li Hongzhang very much, although Li Hongzhang is also the queen mother's party, but in the matter of the reform and change, he still supports himself, and Li Hongzhang is very good at dealing with Lafayette, every time something happens, Cixi also respects Li Hongzhang's opinion very much, and now, Li Hongzhang said that he can't get sick, what can I do?
Cixi was still angry, and shouted: "Come on, take Weng Tonggong's crown and wear a flower feather, remove him from all his positions, repatriate him to his hometown, and never use it!" Let people like you guard the emperor, and the emperor will not know how many more outrageous things he will do in the future! ”
Guangxu was shocked and said hurriedly: "Dear father, you are angry, please think twice." ”
Cixi said angrily: "How can you let me calm my anger? Look at the current situation! The Manchurian, Han and Mongolian Eight Banners have already fallen out in the sky, what are your countermeasures? It's been three months since the New Deal was implemented, but what about the actions of the local governors? You yourself don't want to think about why there is no one to support it? Is this just the fault of the local governors? If you are not in a hurry and impatient, you are above such a thing? ”
Guangxu was reprimanded, his face was red, and he didn't know what to say for a while, and the highest official position of the Restoration Party is now only three grades. Without the emperor's summons, he is not qualified to stand on top of the court, the current Guangxu is a lonely man, and all the ministers in the Manchu Dynasty are old-fashioned ministers, who will stand and cheer for him, the one who does not lick the stinky feet of the Empress Dowager Cixi?
Cixi sent a flash of fire and said, "That's it." Let's do it for the time being, and remember to take it slow when you implement the new policy in the future. Don't be rash, you can't listen to Kang Youwei and a group of scholars for everything, they only know how to talk on paper, and they do things in a disorderly manner, the Prime Minister's Affairs Yamen still let Li Hongzhang come back to do it, you have to consult him more, I won't say much about the rest, and the appointment and dismissal of officials above the second rank in the future must be handed over to the mourning family. ( ) Wait for the mourning family to look at it before making a decision. The matter of military affairs reform, put aside for the time being, isn't Ronglu building a new army of military defense? Dong Fuxiang, Yuan Shikai and Song Qing were all famous generals of the dynasty, and they all had unique characteristics for military training. It is the foundation of the country, and it cannot be changed at will, so let's discuss this matter later. ”
After speaking, Cixi waved her sleeves and left the Qianqing Palace.
The entire court was silent, and Emperor Guangxu was full of exhaustion. Waving his hand, he said, "Okay, you all disperse." The decree is set up in the South China Sea Hall. ”
Emperor Guangxu was lightly armed and only brought a few eunuchs to the Nanhai Hall.
Entering the Nanhai Hall, Emperor Guangxu sighed for a long time, Kang Youwei saw that the emperor was in a bad mood, and asked, "Your Majesty." What's the matter, did something unpleasant happen in the court today? ”
Emperor Guangxu said irritably: "Not smooth? Since I changed the law, one day has been smooth, today's morning queen suddenly came, I was angrily reprimanded, scolded me for being eager for success and profit, and made a mess of the implementation of the new policy, and in a fit of anger, together with Master Weng, he was dismissed, and finally left the intention to suspend all the Eight Banners innovation, and all military innovations! ”
"Ahh
Everyone present was shocked, and Tan Sitong said angrily: "Your Majesty, you are the king of a country, and you have been in power for many years, this court should have been decided by you a long time ago, why is the Queen Mother still interfering now, isn't she an old man, isn't she afraid of being ruthless?" ”
Guangxu's face changed, and he said angrily: "Resurrection, shut up!" Our Lady of the Queen Mother, she is the mother of the country, and her status is respected, how can you allow you to slander it, this is a great rebellion! ”
Tan Sitong's face turned red, knelt on the ground, and said: "Your Majesty, since ancient times, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, but it is a law, a law, a rule, even the Empress Dowager of Xiaozhuang, after Kangxi Ye is in power, she never interferes, let it do, the emperor is the king of a country, national affairs, in a word, this must be guaranteed, otherwise the following governors will never obey the emperor's will, only the queen mother in his eyes, not the emperor!" ”
Guangxu's face was gloomy, and he said, "That's it, resurrection, you come first." Nanhai, I've been thinking about why our new policy hasn't been implemented, is it just the two reasons you mentioned a few days ago? ”
Kang Youwei pondered carefully and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has been reflecting on this issue recently, and the minister thinks there is another reason for it. ”
Emperor Guangxu said: "Okay, then you can talk about it." ”
Kang Youwei replied: "Your Majesty, in fact, it is very simple, the emperor has only been in power for a few years, among which the Queen Mother still has a period of time to make decisions on national affairs, and the ministers have just entered the political arena. ”
Guangxu nodded and sighed: "What the queen mother said has a certain truth, we are inexperienced, but the reform is drastic, and we are impatient." ”
Liang Qichao replied: "Your Majesty, but we are carrying out drastic reforms, when will we be able to prosper the Qing Dynasty, our time is running out, the development of the Western powers is changing with each passing day, they will not wait for us in front, we will only be dragged farther and farther." ”
Emperor Guangxu's eyes flickered, and he asked, "Then do you have any better countermeasures?" ”
Liang Qichao said: "I think that since we have little experience in reforming the law and implementing the New Deal, then we can hire experienced politicians as our advisers to plan the reform process for us. ”
Emperor Guangxu's eyes lit up and asked, "Zhuoru, do you have any good candidates?" (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. )
