In May 1907, after the imperial court completed a series of after-the-fact activities for the Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu, the enthronement of the new emperor was put on the agenda. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
After the preparations for the enthronement ceremony were ready, the Ministry of Rites immediately asked for the throne, and the main gate of the Qianqing Palace at this moment should be hung with a curtain to indicate that the funeral was suspended.
The emperor went to the Baohe Hall to descend to the public opinion, first went to the Zhonghe Hall to ascend to the seat, officials at all levels saluted, after the salute, the officials were in place, and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu played again to invite the emperor.
Pu Yi was in the Taihe Palace, that is, the emperor's throne, at this time, according to the general ceremony regulations, played by the Zhonghe Shao Music Band, but because it was in the mourning period, the music was not set up, and only the bells and drums were sounded at the noon gate.
Finally, an edict was issued to show that the emperor was the "true son of heaven", and the ceremony was solemn and solemn.
First of all, the scholar will hold out the edict again, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites will hold the edict to the bottom of the steps, and the official of the Ministry of Rites will be placed in the cloud disk, and the people of Luan Yiwei will hold the yellow cover together from the middle road out of the Taihe Gate, and then sound the whip.
The civil and military officials were respectively from the Zhaode Gate and Zhendu Gate on both sides of the Taihe Gate with the edict out of the noon gate, put the edict in the Dragon Pavilion, and carried it to the Tiananmen Gate Tower to promulgate.
Although these processes are simple, Pu Yi is still just a child, how can he sit still, at first he was still a little curious about this little emperor.
Sitting on the dragon chair, watching the many people below bowing to him, but as a child by nature, he naturally wants to move around, but he can't get off the dragon chair.
Later, he naturally cried a lot.
So there was such a spectacle, the little emperor was crying above, and the ministers below were kneeling and worshipping.
It took a lot of effort to complete the enthronement ceremony this time, and not long after the enthronement ceremony was completed, the edict of Longyu came from the deep palace.
said that now that the new emperor has just ascended the throne, the people of the world are undecided, and they still need the royal family to comfort the people of the world, and then put forward the idea of going south tour.
This time, Longyu's proposal for a southern tour was very sudden, and no rumors came out, as if the queen mother suddenly decided, which caught these ministers off guard.
wanted to object, but found that Longyu had already made all kinds of preparations, and these ministers had no choice but to follow the will of the Empress Dowager Longyu and tour the south one after another.
This time the southern tour seemed to be to appease the people, but only a few people knew what it actually did.
After the news of the southern tour came out, Longyu first designated a few ministers to stay in Beijing, of course, there must be Wang Yingkai among them, and then Longyu allowed this southern tour, and each minister could bring their families.
This statement makes these ministers a little baffled, since ancient times, how can there be a rule that the emperor goes out to patrol and bring all the families of his ministers.
Naturally, these ministers did not agree, but it was different for the Manchu magnates, since they were allowed to bring their families, they would take them.
Anyway, it's not your own money, and it's hard to take advantage of it.
So under the leadership of Longyu, the new emperor and a large group of people, who left the capital division in such a mighty way, went to the south to inspect.
Zhou Fu, the governor of Liangguang in the south, and Ding Zhenduo, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, had long been prepared to meet the driver, and the new troops sent from various places to bomb the ground early to prevent all kinds of confusion.
After the start of the southern tour, Wang Bin also got the news as soon as possible, and it was time for him to take the next step of sending troops outside the customs.
Immediately, Wang Bin began to contact Wang Yingkai with Wang Shizhen, Feng Guozhang and others, and discussed that after Luan drove out of Jiangsu, he would immediately take action.
According to the current speed of Longyu, it will take a while to leave the Zhili capital, and if it is launched at this time, it will still give the imperial court a certain amount of time to react.
And what Wang Bin himself needs is not to give the court any time to react, and directly complete the final situation, so that the court is powerless to return to the sky.
Longyu and his entourage stopped and went, and finally arrived in the south in early June, and Wang Bin finally launched his plan.
"What's going on, did you get the order?"
In a house in Yuguan, Ma Longbiao and the others asked Duan Qirui.
Since the last time, Wang Bin sent them to be ready to send troops outside the customs at any time, Ma Longbiao and others can be said to be full of energy and ready to show their talents.
However, the news of this dispatch of troops outside the pass has never been transmitted, which makes Ma Longbiao and others a little anxious to wait, this time Ma Longbiao and others heard that the emperor is going to the south again, which is a great opportunity.
So every day, Ma Longbiao and the others were pitifully waiting for Wang Bin's order to send troops outside the pass, and as soon as a telegram came, they would gather together to see if the content of the telegram was what they wanted to see.
Duan Qirui looked at the expectant eyes of Ma Longbiao and the others, and couldn't help but smile dumbly in his heart, and then told Ma Longbiao and the others the content of the telegram.
"This telegram is exactly what you want."
As soon as Ma Longbiao and the others heard this, they were immediately very happy to know that the content on it was to let their people send troops to the pass
Immediately, he took the telegram and looked at it, the content on the telegram was only a few numbers, and the general meaning was to let Duan Qirui and others send troops to the pass and go straight to the Beijing Division.
When the time comes, there will naturally be someone in the Jingshi to respond.
The two days of June 7, 8 and June have taken a huge turn in China's situation, which can be regarded as having a direct impact on the course of China's future.
A series of events that took place in these two days directly laid the foundation for the decline of the Qing Dynasty and the rise of a new China, and at the same time, this influence also determined the future fate to a certain extent.
On the evening of June 7, the military strength of the four towns to which Wang Bin belonged, under the response of Wang Yingkai, successfully met in the capital, and converged with Wang Shizhen and others at the first time.
After the convergence was completed, Duan Qirui and the others began to blockade the Jingshi and control all the important places.
On the same day, many ministers and Manchu magnates who remained in the Beijing division fled from the Beijing division under the reminder of Wang Yingkai's "goodwill", and at this time the entire Zhili fell into the hands of the Beiyang family.
After controlling the Beijing Division, Wang Yingkai, Duan Qirui and others quickly controlled the entire Zhili, grasped the various arteries of Zhili, and its forward troops also infiltrated Datong Mansion in northern Shanxi and Jinan Mansion in Shandong.
After grasping the situation, Wang Bin and others did not issue any telegrams, but first forcibly disbanded the Jingzhen of the Beijing Division and took over the treasury of the Qing court.
At this time, the split between the Beiyang family and the imperial court had been completely revealed. (To be continued.) )
