Chapter 344: The Qing Emperor abdicated, and the constitutional state began.
(2nd Update)
In the dark and dreary hall, there were only two people, Ye Kai and Zaifeng, and the other ministers were either dismissed at home, or quarantined, or had fled the capital several days in advance....
In addition to the many henchmen of Ye Kai's cabinet, the so-called Qing court has no real name.
"The Praetorian Guard is defeated..."
The morning sun is very good, but it can't shine into Zaifeng's heart, just a few hours ago, the Praetorian Guard was defeated in Wuhan City, when the news reached his ears, the overall situation of "miserable white" has been irreversible, in addition, there is worse news than it, the soldiers of the first town of the Praetorian Guard mutinied after the defeat, killed the former chief soldier Yu Lang, and surrendered to the south, and with the experience of the past, Zai Ze, Zaitao's group of relatives and nobles, no longer dare to mention any decisive battle.
The sudden news made Zaifeng's body almost cold.
Ye Kai stood in front of him, and he didn't say a word, and the two monarchs and ministers were silent.
Is the Qing Dynasty dying?
A huge question mark lingered in Zaifeng's heart, the north-south peace talks were difficult to stagnation, the Qing Dynasty was defeated like a mountain, Shanxi, Shandong have fallen one after another, the situation can already be called embattled, the nominal territory, there are less than four or five provinces, the more Zaifeng thinks about it, the more he thinks about it, the more clear it is, the question mark will soon become a full stop.
Ye Kai also knew it.
In fact, the Praetorian Guard was completely in accordance with his instructions, ostensibly crushing at the slightest touch, but in fact it slowly retreated to Henan and Shandong, holding the main route of the revolutionary party to the north.
With a "squeak", the door of the hall opened, and the light sprinkled in like a flood, Zaifeng subconsciously covered his eyes and retreated back with a slight tremble.
Yulong was dressed in a black and yellow court uniform, holding Pu Yi in his hand, and came in with a vigorous "kill", followed by Xiao Dezhang and others.
"What are you doing here?" Zaifeng asked.
"Daqing is about to die, and the mourning family can't let you mess around!" Longyu said coldly: "Zaifeng, you go home and be your prince!" ”
After speaking, he shouted loudly: "Please carry out the edict of the Queen Mother!" ”
Xiao Dezhang immediately knelt on the ground and read out the edict.
Zaifeng was stunned, he didn't expect Longyu to come to this set, he didn't even have time to react, and the edict was read to the deepest.
“..... In case of major events, you must first invite the Queen Mother...."
"Did you hear me all? Zaifeng, the mourning family can't watch you mess around like this, can't watch you bring the emperor to a desperate place, from today on, you will retire to the domain! Longyu said coldly.
"Please return to the Domain, Prince Regent!" Xiao Dezhang shouted.
"Please return to the Domain!!" The crowd shouted in unison.
Zaifeng was stunned for a moment, he looked at Ye Kai on the side, and his eyes were even more frightened.
"Regent, stand down...."
Ye Kai knelt on the ground and motioned to respect the edict.
"..."
Zaifeng smiled bitterly, and finally didn't say anything, and staggered out of the hall alone.
"The King of the County!"
Longyu shouted, and Ye Kai was a moment late before he reacted.
"The lives of my mother and son are in the hands of the county king."
"The queen mother can rest assured, after the emperor abdicates, he will enjoy special preferential treatment, but the emperor title will only be retained for one generation, and the descendants of future generations will all be civilians, and they now live in the Forbidden City, and you will move to the Summer Palace in the future." Ye Kaidao.
"Thank you, King of the Counties"
After speaking, Longyu began to cry, muttering the words "face the ancestors and ancestors without shame", which is all a formality.
"Father-in-law De, call the courtiers of all officials! At one o'clock in the afternoon, the abdication ceremony was held in the Taihe Palace, and another telegram was sent to the whole country, and the north and south were established to stop fighting, defend the rights and interests of the people, and jointly build a unified country. ”
"Piercing!"
.......
"I am ordered to serve the Empress Dowager Longyu in the past: due to the uprising of the people's army, the provinces correspondingly, the nine summers are boiling, and the lives are devastated, and Wang Liangbi of Zhongmin County is specially appointed to discuss the overall situation with the representatives of the people's army, establish a national chaos, and referendum on the form of government. However, in the past two months, there has been no definite way, the north and the south are separated, each other is holding each other, business is on the way, the people are exposed, the national system is indecisive for a day, and the people's livelihood is uneasy for a day.
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, and the northern generals have also advocated the last, and the people's hearts are wanted, and the destiny of heaven can be known. It is to use the general trend of the appearance, the internal review of public opinion, the special emperor, the right to rule to the whole country, set as a republican constitutional state, near the heart of the sea to be disgusted with chaos and hope for governance, far from the ancient saints of the world for the righteousness of the public.
When the old and the new are metabolized, it is advisable to have a way to unify the north and the south, that is, Liangbi will organize a provisional republican government with full powers, negotiate with the people's army on the method of reunification, and the people will be safe in the general period, and the sea will be peaceful, and the complete territory of the Manchu, Han, Mongolian, Hui, and Tibetan ethnic groups will still be combined, and it will be a great constitutional state of China. Chin this. ”
October 22, the third year of Xuantong, —————
The edict of the abdication of the Qing Emperor instantly ignited the entire land of China, and in Shanghai, thousands of miles away, the long-stalemate peace talks miraculously came to fruition.
Jiang Zhiqing and Hu Hanmin walked out of the negotiation venue together and made the results public.
After the abdication of the Qing Emperor, the north and the south will stop all wars within 24 hours, and on this basis, the establishment of the Chinese constitutional state, a constitution, the new country will completely inherit all the territory of the Qing Empire, Manchu, Mongolian, Hui Tibetan and Han five ethnic republics, at the same time, in the city of Nanjing, Sun Wen personally promulgated the "Constitution of the Constitutional State of China", and was unanimously approved by the Senate, on January 1 next year, the founding ceremony of the constitutional state, will be officially announced to the public.
At a short time in the afternoon, news broke out again in Nanjing that the former prime minister Liang Bi would continue to serve as caretaker prime minister for six years, after which a party election would be held.
This result can be described as unexpected, as soon as the news came out, the whole country was once again shocked.
.......
After the negotiations, Jiang Zhiqing and Hu Hanmin took the same car, one south and one north, and there would be no such difference in the future.
"Cousin Zhan, how did this constitution come out so quickly?" The car was driving very smoothly, but Jiang Zhiqing had something unclear in his heart.
"As early as a few months ago, Lianggong and Premier Sun drafted the constitution, you don't know that in those months, these two were **** quarrels, and no one let anyone." Hu Hanmin said with a smile.
"Oh?" Jiang Zhiqing was taken aback, he knew that Dashuai had met Sun Wen during his time in Japan, but he didn't expect to discuss these things.
"Unexpectedly, in less than a year, Lianggong really fulfilled the original agreement, and it seems that he still persuaded Premier Sun in the end." Hu Hanmin sighed and was amazed, "The person who can make Premier Sun give in, I am afraid that there is only a good man in this world, and a good man is really a god and a man!" ”
Jiang Zhiqing was not as excited as him.
"Cousin Zhan, I have been by the side of the handsome man for so long, and I also know some of the handsome's behavior, and others will never be able to guess his thoughts, but if you are clear, what the handsome is doing will be clear."
"Which point?"
"Da Shuai said, whether it is a revolution or a constitution, it is just a way, not a way, but Da Shuai is taking an unknown path, and your Premier Sun is taking a high-profile road, but no matter what, it is better to be on the road than to stop or retreat, anyway, it is still far from the end." Jiang Zhiqing said in a deep voice.
Hu Hanmin fell into deep thought.
"Haha, cousin Zhan, don't think about this." Jiang Zhiqing patted his shoulder and laughed, "I heard that there is a big world in Shanghai New Area, and the handsome man told me that I must go there when I come to Shanghai." ”
The car went all the way north.
