Chapter 2 The Eight-Nation Coalition looked for Li Hongzhang to ask for Cixi

(Excerpt from the Internet)

After the southeast protected each other, the foreign devil Wadsey came to the door.

This time, Wadsey came, but he didn't let Li Hongzhang be the emperor, he came to find trouble with Li Hongzhang.

Wadsey ordered Li Hongzhang: Please hand over the Empress Dowager Cixi, she is a war criminal and must be punished!

Governors: War Criminals...... I didn't see the Empress Dowager Cixi.

Wadsey: I know that the Empress Dowager Cixi is there with you, right in Li Hongzhang's bed!

Governors: Oh my God...... Lao Wa, is there any evidence, preferably a photo or something......

Wadsey: Absolutely!

So Wadsey came up with the evidence: The New York Times! And it's an old newspaper from two years ago, so Wadsey said that Li Hongzhang and the Empress Dowager Cixi have been doing it for two years.

The message came from Vancouver, Canada.

The young Emperor Guangxu of China was in a state of great frustration and anger when his mother, the Empress Dowager of China, married Li Hongzhang, China's most prestigious statesman, in a small temple called Xinfa, on the morning of September 22, 1898. The newlyweds then took a train to Tianjin for their honeymoon, and in order to prevent others from following them, they also dismantled all the railroads they passed along the way.

…… The newlyweds, who have attracted the attention of the world, will spend a happy time at the port of Arthur, which is said to be done not only to avoid the embarrassment of the emperor himself, but also to dispel the anger of another politician, Rong Lu, who eventually became Li Hongzhang's personal collection, despite the fact that the Empress Dowager Cixi had twice conceived Rong Lu's child......

The governors of all places were stunned when they read the report.

…… Reside...... Correct...... Yes...... This...... Seed...... Affair......

It took a long time for Wadsey to figure out what was wrong.

What's wrong?

Nothing is right!

The Empress Dowager Cixi is missing!

Could it be that this old lady really let Li Hongzhang hide herself in the bed?

Thinking about it again, it is unlikely, no matter how lacking Li Hongzhang is, he will not collect the old goods of Cixi, besides, if he really puts Cixi on his own bed, Emperor Guangxu will not have to beat this old man to death!

Therefore, the Empress Dowager Cixi must have disappeared, and even foreigners couldn't find her, so they suspected Li Hongzhang.

For a while, the southeastern ministers such as Liu Kunyi, Zhang Zhidong and others were happy: Wow, the old lady is missing, great, this old lady is finally missing...... So what should we do about this country, or ...... How about we elect a president? He simply took advantage of this opportunity to change the Qing Dynasty into a democratic system like the United States. Unexpectedly, everyone unanimously recommended Li Hongzhang to be the president.

Li Hongzhang was overjoyed: How embarrassing, how can you do this...... Let's vote first, since we want to elect the president, the process of voting for election cannot be omitted......

So everyone wrote letters to each other to vote, China is too big, the transportation is inconvenient, the voting process is relatively slow, just between the votes, suddenly broke out of the big bear market news - the Empress Dowager Cixi reappeared in the rivers and lakes, at this time is on the Shaanxi mountain road crutches flying like a wild run.

When Li Hongzhang heard the news, he cried at that time.

It's over, the president is gone, don't say it, I have to go back and betray the country again, my old Li recruited someone to provoke whom, why is he so unlucky?

This short-lived democratic process quickly disappeared into the whirlpool of history.
