Emperor Guangxu has begun to dismiss many incumbent ministers at this time, although he has asked Kang Youwei to negotiate with Wang Lin, but even the negotiation is not so easy, first of all, he doesn't know where Wang Lin is, and he can't directly call that he wants to negotiate with Wang Lin, after all, they are still the royal family, and some of the face that should be protected still has to be protected.

However, when the ministers dismissed by the Guangxu Emperor left with their families and gold and silver property, they were often wiped out not far from the capital, and the money and other things were looted, and finally this rumor was spread to Yanjing City, and some officials who had not left were already pale and hid at home, closing the door to prevent being stolen in, and they did not dare to leave half a step.

Kang Youwei led a group of negotiators along the official road all the way to the south, and when he was about to leave Hebei, he met the Zhengnan army that was hurrying to Yanjing, and hurriedly stopped the soldiers of the Zhengnan army, but no one listened to him, even after he said that he was the representative sent by the emperor to negotiate, no one paid attention to him, and reprimanded him fiercely, warning him to stand aside and not to block the march there.

Kang Youwei looked at the group of soldiers advancing quickly helplessly, looking at the truck that was running rapidly along the official road, slowly carrying a soldier and a cart of supplies, along the way, the Zhengnan army seemed to be running crazy, desperately rushing in the direction of Yanjing.

"My lord, what are we going to do?" Another eunuch next to the emperor, Xiao Zhangzi, was also sent to the negotiation team, which was also a choice that the emperor was forced to make when no one was available, the ministers were dismissed, and if there were no officials, the eunuchs could only be followed, which could be regarded as representing the emperor's opinion.

"The marching direction of the Zhengnan army is facing Yanjing, if we don't get in touch with that Wang Lin and reach a consensus on negotiations, I'm afraid they will attack once the army comes to the city, I have long felt that there seems to be something wrong around Yanjing, and now I think about it, I understand that it was Wang Lin's ambush in Yanjing." Kang Youwei shook his head, and he breathed even more in his stomach.

Kang Youwei is a complete royalist, since the failure of the Wuxu reform has fled abroad, recently heard that Wang Lin had an incident, so he hurriedly returned and wanted to continue to be loyal to the emperor, but no one expected to just talk to the emperor, and it was not a few days before he encountered such a thing. Now that all parts of the country have changed banners, it seems impossible to protect the emperor, but protecting the emperor's surname and the safe passage of the second half of his life is something that Kang Youwei must do his best.

It can be said that Kang Youwei's life was discovered by the emperor after going through that book, and it was only from that time that he gradually began to change, although his change only lasted for a short period of time before being crushed by Cixi, but Kang Youwei did not hate Emperor Guangxu at all. Because he knew that Emperor Guangxu was only a nominal emperor, and everything else needed the consent of the Empress Dowager Cixi before it could be implemented.

And after that incident, even the emperor himself was placed under house arrest, so Kang Youwei was not disappointed in the emperor, but was more loyal to the emperor and hated the Empress Dowager Cixi. Women don't do politics, and it's not good to do politics. At least that's what Kang Youwei thinks. Women in the feudal era were originally very narrow-minded, and if she was asked to govern a huge country, she would know what the effect was by looking at the current situation.

"Master Kang, you must think of a way, we can't let the Zhengnan Army capture Yanjing City, the emperor is still inside." Xiao Zhangzi said with a little crying.

He grew up in the palace since he was a child, and was sent to Guangxu when he was more than ten years old, and has been following him for so many years, Xiao Zhangzi's feelings for Guangxu are real, he just feels that if there is no Guangxu, the sky in his heart seems to be collapsing, and the whole world will squash him until he can no longer breathe.

"Let's go to the front and stop the Zhengnan army and ask them to upload the news of our negotiations to Wang Lin." Kang Youwei had already made up his mind at this time.

The reason why he was rejected by the Zhengnan Army before, Kang Youwei thought that it was because the Zhengnan Army was in a hurry to march for fear of delaying the trip, if he was Wang Lin, he would definitely choose to negotiate, after all, the Qing Empire ruled China for more than 200 years, even if there is no merit, there is hard work, right? Could it be that the absence of the Great Qing Dynasty is really a good thing for them? Kang Youwei didn't think so, at least the Qing Dynasty was still there, and those foreign powers would not dare to blatantly annex their own land.

Even if they insist on taking it privately, it depends on whether the Qing Dynasty is willing or not. Kang Youwei's fantasy of the Qing court at this time is no less than an obsessive state, and now, his whole heart has been tied to the Qing court, he wants to make the Qing Dynasty stronger and become a world power, but before because of Cixi's interference, the law change failed, and now it is okay, Cixi has handed over all the power to the emperor, he believes that as long as the emperor can make up his mind to change the law again, he will definitely be able to turn the Qing Dynasty into a world power.

After all, it takes far more energy to overthrow a country and build a new country than to carry out reforms on the basis of the original, and until now he still insists that not everyone in this country wants the Qing Dynasty to perish, and he believes that as long as the Qing Dynasty can become stronger, it will no longer be bullied by outsiders, so that they can smoothly accept the Qing Dynasty.

What Kang Youwei said is true, not everyone in the following Li people really hopes for the demise of the Qing Dynasty, at least after Wang Lin's intervention, the Qing Dynasty did not experience the reparations of the First Sino-Japanese War, did not experience the major damage caused by the Eight-Nation Alliance, said that the Russian War had not yet begun, and the Qing court's rule in the country was not as good as a few years later.

It can be said that all this is the credit of Wang Lin, with Wang Lin's intervention, although he avoided a large amount of domestic financial resources from flowing abroad, but he also retained some majesty for the Qing court, at least in their hearts they thought that it was not Wang Lin but the Qing army who defeated the Eight-Nation Alliance, and it was not Wang Lin but the Beiyang Naval Division that defeated the Yueben Navy.

Everything has advantages and disadvantages, Wang Lin has already considered this, but he doesn't care anymore, Sun Wen has been making trouble on the table for so long, and he has accumulated a lot of prestige, and there are faint signs of surpassing Wang Lin, but what in the end? Didn't Wang Lin send Sun Wen back to his original form after a few telegrams? In the face of real strength, all conspiracies and tricks are floating clouds, and Sun Wen can only be blamed for being too eager and eager, and failing to understand Wang Lin's meaning well.

"This soldier, I am Kang Youwei, and I am the representative sent by the emperor to negotiate, and I also ask this soldier to inform me and others, so that our two sides can enter the negotiation stage as soon as possible, so as to avoid letting the people suffer the baptism of war and let more families lose their relatives." After walking for about half an hour, Kang Youwei met a group of soldiers of the Zhengnan Army who were marching in a hurry, and he didn't care about his identity at the moment, so he hurriedly stood in the middle of the road to block the way of the Zhengnan Army.

"What? Do? What to stop for? Zhang Tianfang hurriedly ran out of the line, pointing at the soldiers who stopped in front of him and shouted.

Zhang Tianfang, who had just entered the National Defense University for more than a year and had not yet graduated, was allowed to graduate early because of the lack of officers in the expansion of the Hainan Army.

"Company commander, this person said that he wanted to negotiate with us, and let us inform them." The soldier in the front row turned his head and said.

"Report a fart, get out of the way, Lao Tzu is short of time, and if you can't complete the task, Lao Tzu should go back to the furnace and rebuild." Zhang Tianfang said with a grin, it is fake to remake it from the furnace, since Zhang Tianfang came out of the military academy and became a company commander, which subject of this company is not one of the best in the whole regiment? Saying this is just to deceive Kang Youwei and others.

"This officer, we are really the representatives sent by the emperor to negotiate, and please inform us to try to stop the civil war as soon as possible, so as to avoid you soldiers running back and forth all day long." Kang Youwei said as he took out ten taels of silver from his clothes and stuffed it to Zhang Tianfang, hoping that he could report it on the face of the silver, if Kang Youwei still couldn't contact Wang Lin, God knows what those Zhengnan troops who were not afraid of the sky and the earth would do to Yanjing.

Seeing that the money is not accepted, it is a bastard, there is no one in the Zhengnan Army who can't get along with money, and the Zhengnan Army has clear regulations that anyone who sends money or goods must not be considered to accept it, and it must not shirk, otherwise it is a disobedience to the military order. Zhang Tianfang stretched out his hand to take the silver, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and a gloomy expression appeared on his face, and he said to Kang Youwei: "This is not enough, it's far away, it's not enough for our brothers to drink a pot, and besides, I have to deal with my superiors, otherwise how can my small company commander directly contact the commander-in-chief?" ”

Kang Youwei saw that the other party accepted the money, and felt that it was not enough, so he immediately thought that there was a drama in this matter, as long as he could contact Wang Lin through this officer, it didn't matter how much money he spent, he didn't care about any money at all now, he only cared if he could contact Wang Lin? When will you be contacted? Kang Youwei took more than thirty taels of silver from the eunuch's hand, and then searched the negotiation team again, and almost took out all the silver and handed it to Zhang Tianfang.

The cost of dotting up is not small, Kang Youwei knows this, and his most important task now is to contact Wang Lin, it doesn't matter if he spends money, as long as Zhang Tianfang is willing to do things. Less than 100 taels of silver and 2,000 taels of silver bills were looted up and down.

Zhang Tianfang weighed the silver and silver tickets in his hands, smiled a little sinisterly, and said, "You wait, I'll go to the back to find the battalion commander and talk to him." For the second company, continue to move forward, and don't stand in the way of the troops behind. ”

Kang Youwei and the others stood there with a little excitement in their hearts, sending Zhang Tianfang away, and their hearts were already full of various fantasies at this time.

"Kang You gave it to them, saying that he was looking for the commander-in-chief to negotiate, let us contact us, and I made some contributions to our finances."
