The Empress Dowager Cixi issued a decree and carried out a surprise attack, and Emperor Guangxu was caught off guard and was completely unprepared.

When the first edict was delivered, it was Weng Tongxi's sixty-second birthday, and Emperor Guangxu was celebrating the teacher's birthday in the main hall of the Yangxin Palace. Those who are good at flattery in the court took the opportunity to belittle Li Hongzhang, and Weng Tongyi got carried away, and he was about to share the longevity noodles with everyone, Li Lianying took two eunuchs into the hall and said: "Lafayette Yi will arrive, Weng Tong will take the order!" ”

In the past, the Empress Dowager Cixi would give Weng Tongying a birthday gift every year, and Weng Tongyi thought that Li Lianying's visit today was also a routine at first, so she hurriedly greeted her with a smile, "snapped" the official sleeves, and knelt down to receive the order.

Li Lianying loudly announced the will of the Empress Dowager Cixi: "As the emperor, Weng Tongyi should have done his best to assist the young monarch. I don't want to confuse the public and disturb the court, so from now on, I will be expelled from Yuxiu Palace, return to my hometown, and never use it! ”

Weng Tongyi heard the words "never use it", like five thunderbolts, the last time millions of victims starved to death, the Empress Dowager Cixi only asked him to go home for three years to reflect, this time it was never used, he knew that his future was ruined.

When the ministers in the palace heard "never use it", they shook their heads one after another, and the tea was cold, and they immediately left halfway.

Emperor Guangxu was stunned and asked Li Lianying: "Did you pronounce a typo?" I'm going to meet my own father. ”

Li Lianying replied in a strange way: "Lafayette said that she doesn't want to see the emperor these days. ”

Then, Li Lianying ordered the eunuch to step forward and take off Weng Tong's crown and wear a flower feather, take off his official uniform, and said, "Lord Weng, let's go." Galeries Lafayette will let you go back to your hometown immediately, if it is late, Galeries Lafayette changes his mind, and you can't leave if you want to! ”

Weng Tongyi didn't eat a mouthful of longevity noodles, so he left the palace gate in despair, and when he stepped out of the noon gate, he almost tripped over the threshold. When he arrived outside the palace, Emperor Guangxu took Weng Tongyi's hand to say goodbye, but he didn't know what to say. Weng Tongyi said: "Your Majesty, go back quickly, don't catch a cold, take care of the dragon's body." ”

After speaking, Weng Tong hunched his back and walked out of the Forbidden City, which had been in place for decades. He knew that this one was gone. It's never going back! Weng Tongyi glanced up at the boundless sky. There are white clouds and dogs, tear-jerking!

Ronglu, the general of Xi'an, received the edict of the Empress Dowager Cixi, rushed back to the capital non-stop, took over the 30,000 soldiers and horses of the commander of Jiumen, and 60,000 forbidden troops, and then declared martial law in Beijing. Blockade Zhengyang Gate, Chongwen Gate, Xuanwu Gate, Anding Gate, Desheng Gate, Dongzhi Gate, Xizhi Gate, Chaoyang Gate, Fucheng Gate, Beijing City has been murderous at this time, full of soldiers patrolling with foreign guns.

The time was almost up, and the Empress Dowager Cixi called Guangxu to the Summer Palace to reprimand.

It was a beautiful day. The Empress Dowager Cixi invited Prince Qing and a group of key ministers of the imperial party to the palace of Benzheng, and set up a bamboo cane to enforce the family law in front of her seat.

After Emperor Guangxu arrived, he knelt down to greet the Empress Dowager Cixi, who did not call him up, but asked with a dark face: "The emperor knows what the world is?" ”

Emperor Guangxu was stunned for a moment, and was wondering what the Empress Dowager Cixi meant by asking, did she want to test my understanding of the new policy, and was about to answer, Cixi Taihe scolded sharply: "The world, the world of the ancestors, how dare you act arbitrarily!" All the ministers have been selected by the mourning family for many years, how dare you say that you don't need it? Can Kang Youwei's law win the law of his ancestors? Kang is talented, can he win the person chosen by the mourning family? How stupid and stupid you are! ”

Emperor Guangxu wanted to argue a few words, but suddenly looked up and saw the bamboo cane set up by the Empress Dowager Cixi to enforce the family law, remembering the situation of being beaten when he was a child, his heart palpitated, trembled, and did not know how to answer.

After scolding Emperor Guangxu, the Empress Dowager Cixi cast a sharp gaze on the ministers of the imperial party and shouted: "You still don't kneel? The emperor is young and ignorant, and you have eaten white rice for decades? Do you really think that the mourning family will sit idly by and listen to the emperor's ruin? The emperor is set up by me, if he dies in the country, you can't take the court to criticize you, why do you mourn the family and raise your group of corpses and vegetarian meals? ”

Seeing that the guards in the Summer Palace had all been replaced by soldiers with foreign guns, the imperial ministers hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty, and most of the ministers resigned on the spot to protect themselves, and the Empress Dowager Cixi gave all her permission.

went to Weng Tongyi, Emperor Guangxu was equal to breaking two legs, the new law was difficult to move an inch, and this time he lost most of the ministers, and Emperor Guangxu only left Kang Youwei, the director of the Ministry of Industry, Yang Shenxiu, the director of the Criminal Department, Yang Rui, the secretary of the cabinet, Liu Guangdi, the director of the Criminal Department, and others.

In a hurry, Emperor Guangxu bit his finger and issued a secret edict to Yang Rui, the secretary of the cabinet: "I am only in a difficult situation, and I can't save China without changing the law, and it is not enough to change the law without changing the old ministers, but today the Queen Mother doesn't think so, angering the Queen Mother, and now I can't protect my position, Ru Yang Rui, Kang Youwei, Yang Shenxiu, Liu Guangdi, etc., can be quickly and secretly planned, try to save me, special message!"

Kang Youwei and a few others received the secret edict, and they were very shocked when they saw that Emperor Guangxu said, "I am not guaranteed", and several scholars were out of proportion and didn't know what to do. At this time, Kang Youwei remembered Song Xiaofei, and said wishfully: "The matter is critical, now we must take the blood edict and lead the troops into the king of Jingqin, in the field of vision, only the recruits from Tianjin are close at hand, and they are available."

Liu Guangdi expressed doubts and said: "Song Xiaofei is a student of Li Hongzhang, and the emperor dismissed Li Hongzhang from his post as the minister of the General Administration a few days ago, can he serve the emperor?" ”

Kang Youwei said: "At this time and at that time, he is a military attaché, and it is a matter of course to enter the king of Beijing Qin, do you have a better way?" We might as well suggest that the emperor immediately meet Song Xiaofei, give him a generous reward, and win him over, he is Li Hongzhang's person, and the queen mother will not be alert, and then the big thing can be done. ”

So Yang Ruixing rushed to reply to Emperor Guangxu with the idea of Kang Youwei, the king of Qin, and two days later, Song Xiaofei just returned to the Tianjin official residence from the training ground, and received an urgent edict from Emperor Guangxu, asking him to enter Beijing to face the saint. ”

Song Xiaofei took the holy decree to see Li Hongzhang, Li Hongzhang saw that this holy decree was a Ming edict, and said: "Kang Youwei These people are really stupid, at this time, when a general like you with military power enters Beijing, the Queen Mother and Rong Lu will inevitably be alert." ”

Song Xiaofei said: "The students think the same way. But now that the emperor is still in power after all, if he doesn't go to see him, wouldn't he be disrespectful? ”

Li Hongzhang said: "They just want to pull you to wade into this troubled water!" If you go, you will be in a dilemma, if you don't save the emperor, you will end up infamous through the ages, and enter the king of Beijing Qin, but also hit the stone with an egg, the old man heard that Rong Lu not only imposed martial law in the capital, but also controlled the railway from Tianjin to Beijing, and arranged heavy troops along the road. ”

Song Xiaofei thought to himself, I was shot while lying down, how can it be good, he didn't want to leave the infamy of betraying Emperor Guangxu like Yuan Shikai, nor did he want to ruin his future, so he hurriedly asked Li Hongzhang for advice: "Can the teacher have a plan for both worlds?" ”

Li Hongzhang thought for a while, and then said, "You go and see an old friend, maybe he can help." ”

Song Xiaofei asked, "Who?" ”

Li Hongzhang replied: "The new British ambassador to China, Zhu Erdian, he often mentions you, you should have known each other in the DPRK, he admires you very much, and says that you are good friends. ”

Zhu Erdian turned out to be the British ambassador to North Korea, and Song Xiaofei had some friendship with him at that time, so he asked: "Can you help Zhu Erdian with anything?" ”

Li Hongzhang said: "In a few days, four British warships are going to visit the port of Tianjin, so you go and negotiate with him, ask Zhu Erdian to send a telegram to Premier Yamen, pretend to interfere in China's internal affairs, and at the same time let the British warships cruise near the mouth of Dagu and not dock." In this way, the old man can ask the Queen Mother to send you to the Beiyang Navy Division in the name of the British ** ship to commit crimes. The Queen Mother doesn't want to see you enter Beijing at this time, so she will definitely agree. ”

Song Xiaofei did not enter Beijing under the edict, Kang Youwei suddenly felt bad, and hurriedly obeyed Emperor Guangxu's command to "go to Shanghai to supervise the official report", left the capital, slipped to Shanghai, and found another way to save Emperor Guangxu.

And the Empress Dowager Cixi soon attacked the remaining few people, Yang Shenxiu, the director of the Criminal Department, Yang Rui, the secretary of the cabinet, Liu Guangdi, the director of the Criminal Department, and Kang Youwei's younger brother Kang Guangren, were arrested one after another and were escorted to the execution ground at Caishikou to be beheaded. Only then did they realize that for the Chinese people, changing the law had little to do with them. These four hot-blooded men who were dedicated to the people did not receive heroic cheers from the common people before they died, they sat in the prison car, with heavy shackles on their heads, and saw numb faces, as well as rotten vegetable leaves, cabbage sticks, rotten eggs, and two sick tuberculosis coughing, holding snow-white steamed buns, waiting for their heads to land, so that they could take the steamed buns and dip some of their blood to cure the disease.

Before the execution, Liu Guangdi raised his head and wanted to shout: "People can't die but nod their heads, and after 20 years, they will be a good man again!" But at a glance, he saw the two numb and miserable faces, as white as the steamed buns in their hands, and at last, he closed his eyes, and said nothing, and then, the executioner skillfully raised his broadsword, cut off his head with one sword, and rolled into a black wicker basket, and he was relieved, his eyes were still closed, and he never wanted to look at this filthy world again.

Seeing the news of the killing of four companions at Caishikou in the "Declaration", Kang Youwei quickly fled Shanghai and boarded a ship to Hong Kong overnight. When he arrived in Hong Kong, Kang Youwei immediately sought political asylum from the Japanese consul in Hong Kong, Ueno Keisaburo.

Ueno Jizaburo sent a telegram to Japanese Prime Minister Da Wei Shigenobu, who felt that keeping Kang Youwei might be able to cause trouble to China in the future, so he asked Ueno Ji Saburo to tell Kang Youwei that he would receive "appropriate protection" during his time in Japan, so Kang Youwei set off from Hong Kong to Japan and began his exile.

At this time, Emperor Guangxu really became a loner and became the turtle in the urn of the Empress Dowager Cixi! (To be continued......)
