After the Empress Dowager Cixi killed Yang Rui, Liu Guangdi, Kang Guangren, and Yang Shenxiu, she abolished the new law, and all took the "law of the ancestors" as the degree, imprisoned the Guangxu Emperor in Yingtai, which was surrounded by water, and only sent a small boat to take him in and out of the early dynasty, strangling the new policy that lasted less than 100 days.

Prince Qing Yixuan, who supported Emperor Guangxu's change of the law, felt that he was also in danger, and took the initiative to resign from the foreman of the Military Aircraft Department on the grounds that he was old and had back pain, and the Empress Dowager Cixi gave permission, and issued an edict to let Duan Wang Zaiyi preside over the government. After Li Hongzhang was dismissed from the post of prime minister and minister of the Yamen General Administration, Duanwang was also responsible for presiding over the affairs of the premier's yamen, and he was in power for a while.

King Duan transferred the Manchu governor of Jiangsu with a yellow flag to enter Beijing resolutely, awarded the minister of military aircraft, and the waiter of the Ministry of Supplementary Rites, these two people were conservative in their thinking and smelled the same. They not only opposed Westernization, but also rejected the Han Dynasty, believing that "once the Han people are strong, the Manchurians will perish", and overnight, the Qing court seemed to regress to the state of seclusion and seclusion 30 years ago.

Zhu Erdian and other ministers of various countries used to deal with Li Hongzhang, smooth sailing, suddenly changed Duanwang Zaiyi, to him to talk about the construction of the railway, Duanwang said to destroy feng shui, to him to talk about trade, Duanwang said that the Chinese small farmers are self-sufficient, to him to teach the missionary, Duanwang actually boasted that the boxers were loyal to the monarch and patriotic, touched the ashes of several noses, and felt very unhappy. The industrial and commercial circles in Shanghai, which was earlier in Kaifu, also had great opinions on Cixi's abolition of the new law.

Li Hongzhang, Governor of Zhili and Minister of Beiyang Commerce, Zhang Zhidong, Governor of Huguang, Liu Kunyi, Minister of Nanyang Trade and Governor of Liangjiang, and Wang Wenshao, Governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, although they did not have much opinion on the abolition of the new law of retreat, expressed dissatisfaction with Duanwang and Gangyi's entry into the army.

At this time, Cixi was resistant to the change, and her mind was full of thoughts about the third time to listen to the government, because Emperor Guangxu had no heirs, and the Empress Dowager Cixi summoned the princes and ministers in the Qinzheng Palace. Liduan Wang Zaiyi's seven-year-old son Pu Jun is the "eldest brother", that is, the crown prince, who deposed the heart of Emperor Guangxu, and everyone knows it!

That night, a bright moon like a silver plate hung high in the dark night sky, and the clear glow carried the slightest chill after autumn. Song Xiaofei was in the courtyard to see the moon and think about the people, and the housekeeper came to report that a distant cousin from his hometown had visited. Song Xiaofei was strange in his heart, he hadn't heard of any distant cousins before, so he went to the living room to see him. It turned out to be a phoenix girl who was thinking about it for a long time, she was wearing a black "lotus clothes", wearing a gray melon skin hat, and she was dressed as a man, and she was in a hurry. Song Xiaofei was very surprised, and waved his hand to let the servants retreat.

The phoenix girl took out a piece of jade hanging from Emperor Guangxu's body. Introduce yourself. Song Xiaofei said: "You are the person next to the emperor, I have seen a girl in the Heart Cultivation Hall before. ”

The phoenix girl remembered and said, "One side of the relationship, it is rare for the general to have a good memory." I came to visit suddenly, and as a last resort, don't blame the general. ”

Song Xiaofei pondered in his heart. Do you want to tell her that you have seen her in "Qing Yuanchun", and that you and her are not only close to each other, but later I thought about it, Miss Fengxian had someone in her heart at that time. It was the Tongzhi Emperor, and it was the same whether he said it or not, so he asked, "Why did the girl come to visit late at night?" ”

The Fengxian girl said: "The queen mother Liduan Wang Zaiyi's seven-year-old son Pu Jun is the eldest brother, has the general ever heard of it?" ”

Song Xiaofei said: "I've heard of it! ”

The phoenix girl said: "Since Pu Jun entered the palace and studied in the Hongde Palace, the people in the palace regard Jun as the suzerain, and regard the emperor as a warts. I grew up watching the emperor, and the emperor was really loyal, but unfortunately there was no credible person around him. It is rumored that when the Queen Mother went to Tianjin to inspect the autumn exercises of the new army, she would depose the emperor, set up the eldest brother as the emperor, and listen to the government again. I have come to ask the general to send troops, save the king, and make meritorious deeds. ”

Song Xiaofei asked, "Where is the emperor now?" ”

The fairy girl replied: "I was confined in Yingtai, which was surrounded by water, and followed the Queen Mother every day, but the diet was not as good as before, and I couldn't ask for rice porridge, and I couldn't ask for shredded chicken. ”

Song Xiaofei said: "Since you can come to Tianjin, why don't the emperor come together?" If he were to come to Tianjin in person, I could still arrange for him to take refuge in the mansions of various countries, and perhaps keep his throne. ”

The phoenix girl sighed and said, "The emperor loves Concubine Zhen the most, and he is worried about Concubine Zhen's safety and is unwilling to leave the palace. After Concubine Zhen was beaten by the Queen Mother that day, she took off her jewelry hairpin ring and locked up in a separate courtyard behind the Zhongcui Palace, which was remote and desolate, rare to see people, and became a prisoner. The Queen Mother also ordered that Concubine Zhen would never be allowed to see the emperor again, and strictly ordered Concubine Zhen not to talk to her subordinates. With the help of a confidant eunuch, the emperor took a small boat out of Yingtai in the dead of night, and arrived at Zhongcui Palace, but found three iron locks bigger than fists and ruthless terriers across the two doors. The emperor was worried that if a person escaped, the queen mother would retaliate, and she would definitely torture Concubine Zhen even more cruelly, and she couldn't bear to escape. ”

Song Xiaofei was also very sympathetic to Emperor Guangxu's suffering, but at this moment, with only a few words from the Fengxian girl, he couldn't send troops to rescue him, Ronglu had 70,000 troops, and he arranged heavy troops along the railway, he couldn't watch the 7,000 Xinjun brothers go to Beijing to die, so he said: "Fengxian girl, the eldest husband will die eventually, it's not that I and the brothers of the New Army are afraid of death, but I'm afraid that we will die worthless." If the emperor and the Empress Dowager Cixi arrive in Tianjin during the autumn exercises, I will definitely find a way to rescue the emperor. But in my opinion, it is impossible for the Empress Dowager Cixi to wait until the military parade in Tianjin to depose the emperor, first, there are many Tai and Westerners here, and second, to abolish the Guangxu Emperor, the Empress Dowager can do it in Beijing, why bother to come to Tianjin? ”

The fairy girl asked, "What does the general mean is that the rumors in the outside world that the Empress Dowager deposed the emperor are rumors?" ”

Song Xiaofei shook his head and said: "The Queen Mother is now the eldest brother and deposes the emperor's heart, everyone knows it, but it is unlikely that she will come to Tianjin to do this." ”

The phoenix girl cried: "I hope the general will lend a hand." ”

Seeing his beloved shed tears, Song Xiaofei's heart ached, this was out of anger at his temporary incompetence, and said: "All I can do is probably try my best to keep the emperor's throne." I had to convince my teacher Li Hongzhang that I had to get his support. ”

The phoenix girl said: "I am already very grateful in this way, the emperor is strong, once the queen mother dies, she can resume the government, and there is General Lao." ”

After speaking, the phoenix girl was about to turn around and leave, Song Xiaofei said: "Girl, slow down, you risk going out of the palace, once you are discovered by the queen mother, I am afraid that there will be danger." Why don't I find a way to go to the British Concession and arrange a place for the girl to live, and you won't go back to the palace. ”

The fairy girl said, "Thank you for your kindness." The emperor is now in the palace, and I am the only person close to me who can speak, and I can't bear to leave him at this time. (To be continued......)
