The news that the Empress Dowager agreed to abdicate was like a reassuring pill for the Manchurian nobles, since the Qing Dynasty was about to abdicate, the revolutionary party was always embarrassed to throw bombs again, right? These Eight Banners uncles are really scared of being bombed! The ministers who had been hiding in the concession for a long time and did not go to the court also ran to the Forbidden City to finally live a three-worship and nine-knock mountain to call for long live, and some of the older ones even made a special trip to the Taimiao to go to the first emperor, cry Taizu, and Holy Ancestor. Sprinkle a handful of old tears, scold Sun Wen twice, this traitor, Yuan Shikai, this living Cao!

"Pap, papa, pap" The eunuch's three net whips sounded, and the brilliant civil and military ministers walked into the Forbidden City in turn. Yuan Shikai was naturally at the forefront, and the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu suddenly discovered that the prime minister's leg was not lame.

"Yuan Shikai, this telegram is not good, although the emperor of the Qing Dynasty has abdicated, but no matter what, the emperor is still the emperor, the words 'inheritance and non-replacement' must be added, without these four words, the emperor will have an heir after the marriage in the future, what should I do about the inheritance of the unification?"

Yuan Shikai kowtowed like pounding garlic and said, "Why don't you know? The ministers discussed with the south several times, but they just didn't allow it, Sun Wen and others said that if the emperor and the queen mother did not agree to this text, they would go straight to Yanjing City, and the preferential conditions would also be abolished. The minister's life is naturally not tight, if the two palaces are frightened, the minister will not be redeemed! ”

Long Yu had already been six gods and no masters, and when he heard this, his hands and feet were even more frightened, and he hurriedly said: "Since this is the case, it is according to them!" It's just that the word 'abdication' hurts the royal dignity, and this phrase still needs to be considered! ”

Yuan Shikai kowtowed a few more times before saying: "The minister has already sent a telegram to Tang Shaoyi, changing 'abdication' to 'resignation', what does the Queen Mother think?" ”

Longyu smiled bitterly and nodded: "That's it, but I have something to say first, the royal envoy fee of four million taels of silver this year, that is not a single child!" ”

Yuan Shikai kowtowed first and then spoke as usual: "The ministers are favored by the country, but they can't support the society as the prime minister, and the ministers are striving for the south, and they will definitely not make the monarch suffer!" Don't worry, the Queen Mother! ”

As he spoke, he didn't know if Yuan Shikai was too deep in the play or if he really touched his heart, so he whimpered and cried. This time, Longyu's tears were also hooked, and she also wiped her eyes with her sleeves.

After crying for a while, Longyu sighed and said: "You don't have to be like this, you have done your best for the society and won so many preferential conditions for the royal family, the emperor and I will read your good, today I will abdicate in accordance with the edict issued by the peace agreement, and I will worry about the aftermath of the matter." ”

The edict of abdication has been prepared for a long time, the eunuch in front of the emperor held the edict, Longyu read a few lines, tears came out of her eyes again, she also didn't care about the dignity of the queen mother, and cried in front of the courtiers: "The first emperor, the ancestors and the ancestors!" The descendants of the younger generations are not filial, and they can't keep the family business of their ancestors! ”

Seeing this, some Manchurian ministers were also infected, accompanied by tears, Yuan Shikai also howled a few times playfully, but seeing that everyone has been so pretending to be like this, it is not a way, so he pretended to choke and said to Longyu: "Queen Mother, the overall situation is already like this, manpower is irretrievable, the Queen Mother thought of the people in the world to take the initiative to abdicate, and the ministers were grateful, I believe that the people of the world are also grateful!" Now that the preferential conditions have been set, please also ask the Queen Mother to be relieved. ”

When Longyu heard this, he cried even more, and the edict he was holding in his hand was almost soaked with tears. Yuan Shikai saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart, but it was not easy to take it by force.

Zhao Bingjun was anxious about what Yuan Shikai was anxious about, thinking about what Yuan Shikai thought, so he stood up from the courtiers' shift, beat his horseshoe sleeves, took out a telegram translation from his sleeve and said: "Please mourn the Queen Mother, there is an urgent telegram from the revolutionary party here!" ”

The three words of the revolutionary party were like thunder, and Longyu immediately stopped crying, glared and said, "What's the matter, the south has repented?" Do they want to change their minds? ”

Zhao Bingjun saw that the word "revolutionary party" had played a role, and read calmly: "Wan anxious, Wu Tingfang, the representative of the south, said that with the consent of the Senate, if the Qing emperor does not inferiorize the throne before 12 noon on the 15th day of February in the Western calendar, the preferential conditions will be withdrawn. This cloth is transferred to Yanjing! ”

Long Yu was stunned for a long time, his hands trembled like chicken feet were crazy, and after a long time, he shouted hoarsely: "Hurry, hurry up with the seal!" ”

On February 12, 1912, in the Taihe Palace, Foreign Minister Hu Weide held the edict stamped with the seal, and read it aloud in official dialect with a Zhejiang accent: "I am in the opinion of the Empress Dowager Longyu: Because of the uprising of the people's army, the provinces responded, the nine summers were boiling, and the lives were ruined. In the past two months, there has been no definite way, the north and the south are separated, pointing fingers at each other, business is on the way, the people are exposed, and the national system is indecisive, so the people's livelihood is uneasy. Nowadays, the psychology of the people of the whole country is mostly inclined to the republic, and the southern and central provinces have advocated the first; The generals of the north also advocated that in the future, the people's aspirations, the destiny of heaven can be known, and how can they endure the honor of a surname, and the likes and dislikes of the people. With the general trend of the appearance and the internal review of public opinion, the emperor made the ruling power public to the whole country and set it as a republican constitutional state. Comfort the heart of the sea to be disgusted with chaos and hope for governance, and the ancient saints of the world are far away for the righteousness of justice. Yuan Shikai was elected as the prime minister by the Senior Affairs Yuan, and when the old and the new were metabolized, he announced the reunification of the north and the south, that is, Yuan Shikai organized the republican political axe with full power and negotiated the unification method with the people's army. In the general period, the people are safe, the sea is safe, and the complete territory of the five ethnic groups of Han, Manchu, Mongolia, and Tibet is a large Republic of China, and the emperor can retire and relax, travel the years, and receive the good gifts of the people for a long time. Chin this. ”

At that time, the full text of the abdication edict was sent to the whole country.

There are three days left before the deadline given by the South!

After reading the edict of abdication, all the ministers did not bow three times and bow nine times, but after performing the etiquette of three bows, they retreated one after another.

Longyu sat in a daze on the Sumeru seat of the Taihe Hall as if in a dream, muttering to himself: "This is the end? How did this end up? ”

Six-year-old Xuantong saw everyone disperse, happily jumped off the dragon chair, wanting to run out of this gloomy hall to play outside, Longyu hurriedly reached out to hug it, but accidentally the two fell at the same time. Xuantong broke his knee, covered his wound and cried, Longyu heard him crying miserably, and couldn't help it, holding Xuantong's young body, the two of them cried loudly. Seeing the collapse of the Qing Dynasty, the few eunuchs and palace maids present didn't know how they would develop themselves in the future, and they couldn't help but feel sad and couldn't help but howl.

The Qing Dynasty came to an abrupt end in the cry of the Taihe Palace.

In the 268th year of the Qing court, it was started by the regent Dolgon, and ended by the regent Zaifeng, is it not a number of days?
