In the middle of the night, Renxi asked himself, he was indeed responsible for his son's education - he was usually too strict with Emperor Tongzhi, so that he was not intimate with his biological mother, but was very close to his mother-in-law, Empress Dowager Rentai, as if in the matter of choosing a queen candidate for him, he insisted on going against his own will and refused to choose his niece Fuyi who he chose for him? Lan Xuan was the queen, but she followed Rentai's advice and chose Erut, the daughter of Chongqi, the son of the university scholar Sai Shang'a? Lingyin was the queen, and Lan'er became a concubine, so the concubines had a lot of trouble with each other at first, which made them have a headache for a while, but for some reason, they became extremely harmonious and close like sisters after Lin Yizhe's meeting, until today.

Thinking of Lin Yizhe, Renxi couldn't help but sigh again.

Lin Yizhe is a rare young handsome man in Daqian, she originally planned to train him well and let him become a minister that her son Emperor Tongzhi can rely on in the future, but she didn't expect that he, like her son, died early!

This is also the reason why he wanted to return to his home country after hearing that Lin Yizhe had a twin brother who had established an earth-shattering feat in Japan.

Although Lin Yizhe is extremely talented, he can be a general, and he can be a minister, but like Guo Yunxian, he is too angry, behaves carefully, and is easy to attract jealousy.

But according to what she knows now, Lin Yizhe's younger brother is not like his brother!

At a young age, he was able to take a white body and was hired by Saigo Takamori as an instructor at the Navy Academy. Train young Japanese to become loyal samurai who are accustomed to war. The ability to teach. It's definitely beyond the reach of people!

Compared with his elder brother, although Lin Yizhe founded the Ship Master School on the basis of the Fuzhou Ship Master Bureau to train talents for the Qianguo Navy, and is regarded as the founder of the Ship Master School, he could not personally teach and train students like his younger brother!

And compare the emperors you are optimistic about......

Thinking of the ending of his son Emperor Tongzhi, Renxi couldn't help but sigh in the moonlight and shook his head.

Although she knew. The emperors I chose for my son and nephew, such as Li Gaoyang, Weng Shuping and others, are all Confucian ministers who are "upright and pure in character and learning", but their teaching level makes her really feel at ease now.

What she is most afraid of now is that her nephew Emperor Guangxu will repeat the old path of her son Emperor Tongzhi!

And the appearance of Lin Yiqing gave her a bold idea......

Renxi's thoughts became extremely active, and she didn't feel sleepy at this time, so she simply didn't sleep. Let your thoughts fly.

Today's performance of the queen and Lan'er sisters also gave Renxi an idea.

She and Rentai back then. Isn't this how he assisted Emperor Xianfeng?

If it weren't for the early death of their son Emperor Tongzhi, their sisters might succeed themselves and Rentai in the future, assist him in governing the country, and become their substitutes for themselves and Rentai!

Now, this assumption can only be conceived......

However, should this idea be realized in his nephew, Emperor Guangxu?

Since he and Rentai have already borne the infamy of "Ji Si Chen", it is better to determine this "republican" system, in case he and Rentai don't have to be pointed at by those ignorant scholars after a hundred years!

So......

On this night, Renxi made a crucial decision in her life.

And at this time, she didn't know that her decision not only changed the fate of the old empire she had worked so hard to maintain, but also changed the direction of history!

……

Emperor Guangxu, who was only ten years old, dimly felt that he had woken up, and the sunlight was shining in through the thousands of lattices of the carved windows.

Emperor Guangxu paced on the smooth jade ground, through the panes, he could see the bright blue sky on the yellow roof of the Taihe Hall and the bright yellow roof of the temple in front of him, and the sunlight was all over the vast square field between the body and the palace and the Taihe Palace, crouching there, that was the sunshine that belonged to him.

As soon as Emperor Guangxu pushed open the door of the palace, the sunlight immediately flew and gathered on his body, making him wear a dragon robe embroidered with ten thousand strands of gold thread and pearls and jade diamonds in an instant. Voices shouted from far and near, "Hooray, hooray, hooray!" "Echoing in the palace. Emperor Guangxu walked through the wide square with this radiance, the sun and wind brushed his cheeks, the continuous palace walls in the distance changed angles with his movements, and the white clouds in the dark blue sky drifted with his footsteps.

The color of the sky today seems to be so deep, so that the sun is still so bright, and the clouds are still so pure white, but he still feels that the sky is a little dark, but he does not let this feeling into his heart, yes, he has never felt this way, what is it? It has been seven or eight thousand years since this piece of heaven was split by Pangu with an axe, and it ...... Isn't it too old? No, he never thought of it that way.

Emperor Guangxu ascended to the Great Qianmen, where he could see the heart of the world - Jingshi, the capital of the empire. Its thousands of towers are hidden in the purple glow.

At this moment he heard a very loud voice ringing out in the huge Daqianmen Square, where millions of people were bowing down to him. Waves of shouts came, far and near intertwined in the air, echoing.

"It's the most beautiful music in the world, isn't it, teacher? I don't see the margins of them. Emperor Guangxu asked Weng Shuping, the teacher beside him.

"Your Majesty, under the whole world, it is not the king's land, the shore of the land, it is not the king's ministers, all the land and all the people under this heaven are yours, Your Majesty."

The annual ceremony began, with a huge array of flags, dancers, soldiers with various weapons in their hands, and horse teams, like waves rushing through the towers. Every group of people who walked past the castle tower would let out earth-shattering cheers.

The final rites came, and the envoys of all nations began to pay tribute and show their sincerity. They had been standing in front of the crowd dressed in various clothes, but now they were coming forward one by one.

"The Supreme of Heaven and Earth, the Son of Heaven, the Lord of all nations!" One looked up at the castle tower and almost dropped his hat, "People of the Goryeo tribe." May eternal life be eternal. Honor the Son of Heaven! ”

"The Minister of the Snowy Protector. To my lord the Great Son of Heaven, the golden-bodied Manjushri Bodhisattva of Light, I would like to pay the most respectful respect! May our Lord protect the world until all generations! ”

"The prince of Turhut of Mongolia sent a small minister to pay homage to His Majesty the Son of Heaven! I wish my emperor a long life! ”

"The envoy of the Western Regions will return to Xinjiang on behalf of 30,000 miles to worship His Majesty the Son of Heaven!"

A man dressed like the Celestial Empire came to the castle tower, "His Majesty the Emperor of Japan sent his ministers to greet the Emperor of the Celestial Empire, offering our sincerity, beauty and treasures, Japan is the eternal brother of the Celestial Empire." Because of the strength of the Celestial Empire, we are extremely happy as brothers, and we are so happy that we can't sleep day and night. His Majesty the Emperor has been thinking about how to help his brother in the Celestial Empire all day long......"

Emperor Guangxu yawned.

Seeing this, the celebrant stepped forward, waved his hand, and said, "Next." ”

The man immediately bowed his head and retreated.

When he walked by the Tianshui Bridge, Emperor Guangxu heard him say to the stone lion on the railing of the bridge from a distance: "Remember my name, my name is Saigo Takamori." ”

The majestic gate of heaven facing east, the sun shines from behind. The entire Heavenly Gate melted into a dazzling light. The envoys were still walking through the gate of heaven one by one.

It was a grandiose and awe-inspiring spirit. A great dynasty style.

When the giant bell of the Bell and Drum Tower strikes seven times, it is time for the celebration to end. At this moment, suddenly a man in black walked out of the crowd, out of the crowd of millions, so inconspicuous and so abrupt.

He also walked to the Tianshui Bridge, the place where the envoys worshipped, and made a strange gesture with his hand on his chest and said: "Ellis, the envoy of the Western English Empire, sees the Emperor of the Eastern Qianguo. ”

The audience was silent, and everyone was looking at this man and listening to his unskilled Chinese words.

A very common sentence.

But for the subjects of the Celestial Empire, it was a loud noise that shook the earth.

No one has ever proposed the location of the Empire, and no one has ever dared to put their country on a par with the Celestial Empire. A nation that dared to do so perished a thousand years ago.

"Doesn't the Celestial Empire include the whole world?" Someone is asking.

"Isn't the Celestial Empire in the center of the universe?" Someone is asking.

The faces of the generals and ministers changed.

But Emperor Guangxu didn't care about this, he was too young to hear what the man in black said, thinking that he was just an envoy of another small clan.

"Very good, another obedient vassal of the Celestial Empire, where are you from? Is that tribe behind the Great Yin Mountain, I'm sorry I forgot the name of your patriarch, you have been here on horseback for a few months? ”

"No, I'm coming by sea."

"The sea?" Emperor Guangxu heard it clearly this time, "Then England is an island?" ”

"No, in fact England is a great empire on the other side of the ocean, just like the Great Dry Empire here in the Far East, that is to say, on the other side of the earth where you are stepping on it."

"You mean, it's an underground place where you don't see the light of day?"

"No, not really, because when the sun goes down from here, it goes there, it rises there. In fact, as the empire continues to expand, our invincible warships have drawn the empire's borders in all directions, and the sun has stayed more and more on our land. ”

"Nonsense! The sun belongs to His Majesty the Emperor of the Celestial Empire! The loyal warriors roared loudly.

"You should see the facts," the man in black pulled out a drawing, and swiped most of it with his hands, these are our English Empire. And in the quarter part, he said, "Only these shadowed parts belong to unknown territory, and I have come here to complete this map, so that England can truly become the emperor on which the sun never sets."

Country. ”

Emperor Guangxu's body couldn't help but tremble: "There is still such an arrogant race today!" ”

The man in black smiled: "It's you who are arrogant, Your Majesty the Respect of the Eastern Empire. ”

Emperor Guangxu waved his hand tremblingly, and a group of soldiers rushed up.

The man in black's clothes were torn, revealing blonde hair, blue eyes, coarse hair, and pale skin.

"Oh my God!" Someone in the crowd said, "He'...... It's a demon! ”

"The ghost thing is coming!" Someone on the tower burst out laughing. Suddenly, millions of people in the square laughed.

The monster was dragged by the soldiers, but still shouting: "God will not spare you infidels!" God will bring calamity to you......"

"What God, we have a dragon god! The dragon god will bless us! ”

"Really? Can be with us, dragons are the gods of evil! The sails of St. George's expedition of dragon-slaying heroes have been raised. Look up. It hasn't been long since the sun shines on you! He screamed. Disappeared in the crowd.

Millions of people were in an uproar, this was a small matter, but they had never seen such a thing for thousands of years, Emperor Guangxu felt a little uneasy in his heart, where did that person come from? At that moment, one of the guards presented him with a long cylinder, which had fallen out of the man in black.

It seemed to be a box that could be looked into, and Emperor Guangxu held it up. Looking in from one end, suddenly his whole body trembled, he threw the long tube away from his face, his face was pale, hesitated for a while, and then looked in from the other tube, this time he looked at it for a longer time, and suddenly, he screamed and threw away the tube. Fell to the ground.

The whole earth shook.

Indeed, the sun has gone west.

I don't know when. The rain began to fall, continuously, enveloping the entire land of thousands of miles. Boundless black clouds obscured the sky, and the night seemed to be gone, just as in a house with blackened windows that did not know the dawn, and the people of the empire did not know whether the sun was ready to shine on them behind the clouds, or if it was really gone.

Rumors began to spread. Everyone was in the house talking about the miracles of that day and Emperor Guangxu's illness, and no one could guess what Emperor Guangxu had seen in the long box that day.

Emperor Guangxu felt that he was lying on the bed in the palace with a high fever, and outside the window was the boundless sound of night and rain, which made the vast palace appear empty and cold. Several times Emperor Guangxu woke up, listening to the sound of rain and the sound of dripping water from the eaves, but he couldn't hear the human voice, he suddenly suspected that he was alone in this huge dark palace, and couldn't help shouting in horror: "Someone, someone!" But immediately, a gentle voice sounded: "Your Majesty." The eunuchs and the ladies came out from behind the tents.

"You stay with me and don't go anywhere."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

But as soon as Emperor Guangxu closed his eyes, he suddenly felt that everyone had left, and he was the only one left. And the shadow of the man in black was moving somewhere in this great palace, so that he had to keep his eyes open......

In a trance, everything around me changed.

"The country cannot be without a king for a day, tomorrow the world will die, and the day after tomorrow will have a funeral ceremony, all of which must be presided over by you, and your succession edict will be announced in seven days. Fifteen days later you will ascend the throne. ......" The Queen Mother picked up the cup of tea in a graceful posture with her long gold nails, watched the swirling dance of the tea leaves in the cup, and said slowly.

"Did you arrange all this for me?" He asked blankly, his heart full of fear.

"You're too young to get married. I'll take care of all of this for you in the future. ”

"But as long as I have a big wedding ceremony, I can be pro-government, right?"

"However, you can't choose a concubine within three years of the national mourning. Where are you going? ……”

"Diligent Palace."

He could feel the Queen Mother looking at his back in amazement.

Qinzheng Palace, the place where the emperor deals with state affairs.

Emperor Guangxu saw that there was no one to deal with the official documents, and he had piled up a hill in the main hall.

He paced around the hill and tilted his head to look at the questions on the file.

The smoke disaster of Liangguang ...... Two lakes with great water...... Shandong Drought ...... Rebellion in northern Mongolia......

He pulled out a roll. It read: "A fleet of sea ships reached Shandong on the 4th, and occupied Qingdao on the 19th." Shandong Water Division, defeated. ”

He held up the urgent paperwork that had been sent to him a month earlier, and suddenly, he burst out laughing, in the midst of this crying.

In a trance, he stood at the Great Dry Gate again, and saw millions of people cheering under the city tower.

The people bowed down to him like the same, and the boundless sea of people bowed down like the waves, and the scene was so spectacular. No one can accept such a worship without considering himself a god.

But he took out the barrel instead.

He lifted it up and looked into it from one end.

What did he see?

The empire suddenly became smaller, and the majestic city became a mound of small and ridiculous children; The sea of people is gone, replaced by a black and oppressive ant.

Ant!

He gasped, removed the barrel, and everything was back to normal.

What exactly is the truth?

He froze, turned the other end of the barrel, and looked in again.

This time, he saw a few people.

The men were dressed in tattered clothes, unkempt, and some had terrible scars on their faces. They are either glazed over, or they have a fierce look in their eyes, looking at this side with hatred. Next to these people, there are hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, countless such people! The eyes are full of despair, numbness, and resentment. Now I suddenly found that these people were the ones who bowed down to him under the castle tower and shouted long live! His people!

He put down the tube, his hands and feet cold, and he understood what he was afraid of.

He had never seen the truth so clearly.

……

At night, it is the Qinzheng Hall again.

"How's the war going in the north?"

"Your Majesty, General Zuo has led the army to the battle. However, the road is far away, and there has been no war report so far. If you want to be fine, then Russia was defeated at the hands of the Holy Ancestor Emperor three hundred years ago, and only after signing a treaty did it grant him peace overnight. Now you dare to occupy my Daqian land, I really can't live impatiently......"

"What about the war in the sea and frontier?"

"This ......"

"Say!"

"In fact, the will of the offender is nothing but a pirate, and the co-organizer of the university, the prime minister, the Yamen, and the minister, Lord Weng, have agreed with them to give them Qingdao, and they will not ...... again."

"Bastard!" Emperor Guangxu took the case, "Whose land is that?" He dared to be the master and give it away! ”

"Long live the wrath!" The minister of military aircraft in front of him hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "The minister is ...... dead"

"How dare Master Weng make his own opinions...... Emperor Guangxu only felt that a breath in his heart surged to his throat, but he couldn't spit it out, and he was extremely uncomfortable. (To be continued......)
