(1st Update)

The last month of 1911 was destined to be an unusual month, the sudden change a month ago seemed to be still in the ears, and in the blink of an eye, it showed a trend of burning the prairies, and the ancient land showed two completely different faces, the dynasty in the north was crumbling, from the royal family to the ministers, a mourning was everywhere, and in the far south, the rise of new forces was unstoppable....

On November 17, in Nanjing, the Provisional Revolutionary Senate was established, and the senators of the 29 provinces held a closed-door meeting, at which in addition to unifying the various forces in the south, also set the revolutionary goal of "overthrowing Manchu unification and permanently abolishing the imperial system." Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

As far as the eye can see, the north and the south have become incompatible.

How long will this kind of weirdness last? No one knows, would this be a good start? No one knows.

In this case, the news that the "Great General King" has re-emerged from the mountain has spread all over the country!

The second day of Zaifeng's visit to Liangfu, Ye Kai officially became the prime minister of the cabinet and chairman of the military department, and the list of cabinet ministers, in addition to the backbone of the Janissary Army, also listed a number of revolutionaries, of course, they naturally could not take office, but also partly represented the Qing court's goodwill, the conjecture was fulfilled, Ye Kai in the formation of the cabinet at the same time, the general order of the whole country, requiring the north and south parties to negotiate, to avoid the split of the country, in order to end the civil strife as soon as possible.

With high prestige, Ye Kai's idea of peace talks received a positive response from the south, and the venue for the talks was Shanghai, and the whole country was given a one-week ceasefire.

The Revolutionary Provisional Government sent Hu Hanmin as a plenipotentiary to participate in the negotiations, while Ye Kai's side appointed Jiang Zhiqing, Vice Minister of the Military Administration, and Lu Shuangming, the Governor of the Shanghai Army, to ensure the personal safety of both sides.

On November 20, the county seat of Shanghai, the former Liangjiang Provisional Governor's Office.

In the ceremonial hall on the first floor, the door was closed, and there were a number of guards guarding the door, and many reporters crowded outside the palace, desperately trying to probe inside, because within only one wall, a negotiation on China's fate was quietly underway.

The meeting lasted four whole days, and the whole process was closed to the public, and the relevant content was hardly visible in the newspapers, and the outside world was full of suspicions.

Most of these speculations are not optimistic, and there are reports that the negotiations may be difficult to reach an agreement because of the great differences between the North and the South.

However, on the fifth day, an extremely strange photograph suddenly circulated in the newspaper circle, during the talks, Hu Hanmin, a representative of the south, actually smiled and shook hands with Jiang Zhiqing, and from the photo, the two sides did not have the slightest tension, more like an old friend talking or a business partner talking about business, and what is even stranger is that only two hours later, this photo disappeared from the public eye inexplicably.

Afterwards, the captor claimed that the photo was faked, and when asked how to forge it, the person was silent, and combined with the verisimilitude of the photo, the result was really unconvincing....

The authenticity of this photograph may forever be a historical mystery.

In any case, until the evening of 27 November, the peace talks were inconclusive.

.....

Forbidden City, Changchun Palace.

The glorious and luxurious Changchun Palace in the past is shrouded in a bleak atmosphere at this moment, the hall is full of crying inside and outside, as if it is dead, the miserable cry is getting louder and louder, and it has floated outside, more than 30 palace maids and eunuchs are lying on the ground, and the tears on their faces are rolling down.

The leader was the big eunuch Xiao Dezhang, who was standing in front of Longyu with a calm expression.

"Little Dezi, what you said... It's true? The Queen Mother's expression was gloomy, and she kept shaking her head, and finally asked incredulously.

"The minions spent money to dredge up relations, and only then did they find out a little news from the county king's mansion, saying that the revolutionary party in the south did not agree to the peace talks, and they were about to call." Xiao Dezhang continued, "Queen Mother, think of a way!" ”

Just a few minutes ago, Xiao Dezhang came to report, saying that the situation of the peace talks was bleak, and the war between the north and the south was rekindled, and Longyu originally expected this peace talks to continue the life of the Qing Dynasty, but now....

"What can I do!" Long Yu sighed, looking even more anxious than Xiao Dezhang, "The power is called Zaifeng to take it!" ”

"Queen Mother! At this time, you can't count on Zaifeng, think about it, he has been the regent for three years, and he has finished playing a good and decent Qing Kingdom! What to expect him to do! Xiao Dezhang knelt down and shouted.

"The mourning family feels that Zaifeng is unreliable!" Yulong scolded, but then his face turned pale with urgency, "But what can the mourning family do, there are no soldiers in their hands, and they have no power, so what can I do!" ”

"Queen Mother, you still have the edict of the Queen Mother!" Xiao Dezhang hurriedly said, "The Great Qing Kingdom is about to die, if you don't come out to administer justice at this time, then Zaifeng will bury the ancestral foundation in his hands, Queen Mother!" We're going to be the ones who are going to die! ”

Hearing the word "Dead Country", Longyu was suddenly shocked, and after sorting out his thoughts, he hurriedly said: "Isn't the edict in the hands of the King of Zhongmin?" ”

"The Queen Mother, go and invite the county king!" Xiao Dezhang kowtowed heavily, "If it's too late, Zaifeng may have to start first." ”

Hearing Xiao Dezhang, Longyu hurriedly said: "Quick! Fast! Go and invite the king of the county! ”

Not long after the eunuch ran out of Changchun Palace, he bumped into Ye Kai's county king Yiyi, who had just come out of Zaifeng.

"His Royal Highness the King of the County, the Queen Mother.. I told you to go to the palace..."The eunuch stepped forward to explain his intentions, looked around, and changed to another tone: "It's the little one ordered by Gonggong De"

"Got it" Ye Kai nodded, he was waiting for this moment, naturally he would not let it go, turned around and followed him to Changchun Palace.

"Queen Mother, King Zhongmin is here."

Longyu, who heard the news, hurriedly raised his head, and Ye Kaizheng strode in.

"King of the county, how are you talking with the south?" Longyu asked as soon as he came up.

Ye Kai's face suddenly became gloomy, "Queen Mother, I'm afraid that the big thing is not good." ”

"To. . . What's going on? Longyu was so frightened that his back was sweating.

"Queen Mother!" Ye Kai fell to his knees all of a sudden, and Xiao Dezhang and a few people hurriedly went to help, but he blocked them, and said in a deaf voice: "The revolutionary party wants the emperor to abdicate, otherwise they will come to Beijing!" ”

"Ahh

Longyu screamed, his eyes were dark, and he almost fell to the ground, and then he began to cry, and the whole room also cried.

Ye Kai continued: "The minister just came out of the Qianqing Palace, and the regent heard the news and was furious, saying that the revolutionary party was too deceitful, saying that he couldn't throw the ancestors' country into his own hands, even if he died, he would protect our Qing Dynasty, and the minister would prepare his troops and horses when he went back, and fight to the death with his revolutionary party!" ”

"Contained. Zaifeng.. That's what you say!? What about the emperor? Longyu asked tremblingly.

"The minister will protect the emperor to the death, if the thieves invade the city of Beijing, the minister can only take the emperor to self-immolate in the palace to comfort the ancestors, and when the time comes, please also ask the queen mother to kill herself with full chastity!" Ye Kai said loudly.

Longyu's face turned pale with fright, completely devoid of blood, and his body trembled.

Mournful cries echoed through the room.

"The king of the county, I can die, the emperor... You can't die..."Longyu shook his body and said in a lost mind: "Is there no other way?!" ”

"If you want to save the emperor's life, you can only ask the emperor to abdicate himself and hand over power to the people! In this way, you can beg for your life, and the Queen Mother can be safe! Ye Kaidao.

"If the emperor abdicates, won't the Qing Dynasty be finished, if the Qing Dynasty dies, how can he be worthy of the first emperor under the nine springs of the mourning family! How is it right to love the ancestors of the Xinjueluo family! Longyu was in a dilemma and began to howl and cry again.

Xiao Dezhang said on the side: "Queen Mother, how can there be immortals since the change of dynasties in ancient times, the slave heard that the British Emperor Charles asked the mob to cut off his head, and the French Emperor Louis, that is, asked the revolutionary party to kill the whole family!" The more Xiaode Zhang said this, the more frightened Longyu became, his mouth kept muttering, and the tears on his face were not missing at all.

"Although the emperor is not the biological son of the mourning family, but he was brought up by the mourning family, the mourning family has watched the emperor grow up since childhood, fed him, dressed for him, the mourning family really doesn't want to see the emperor die at such a young age, he is only six years old...."Longyu cried more and more, this pain is indeed from the heart.

"The ancestors and the ancestors want to scold, just mourn the family alone, the emperor is still young, and he doesn't understand anything...."Longyu's sleeve wiped his swollen eyelids, and it took a long time to barely stop crying, "King Jun, you go and talk to the revolutionary party, say whatever you say to save the emperor's life, the lives of our mother and son are in your hands..."

Yulon solemnly commanded, Ye Kai said loudly.

"Yes!" (To be continued.) )
