"The ministers respectfully ask the emperor to live it, long live, long live. I respectfully wish the Queen Mother Lafayette auspicious. ”

The emperor and the queen mother had already sat down, and the ministers immediately knelt down on the ground and shouted long live. The students on both sides also learned to kneel. didn't see the emperor let him flat, the queen mother didn't speak, and the ministers didn't dare to get up. For a moment, the entire hall fell into a deathly silence.

Finally, Cixi couldn't bear to speak: "Get up." Let's talk about it, let the emperor listen to the thoughts of the people of this world. ”

"Empress Dowager Xie." As soon as the ministers got up, Xu Tong was about to stand up and come out of class.

"yes." Guangxu spoke first: "Since you want to listen to the thoughts of the people of the world, there are still 3,000 students here, so it is better to let them talk about it too." ”

"Ridiculous." Xu Tong came out of the class and said: "The Jinluan Palace is the important place of the country, and everything discussed is related to the decision of the imperial court, how can it be discussed by the peddlers and pawns?" What's more, there are more than 3,000 people, and there are not many who can read and write, so how can they negotiate this major event in the world. ”

Guangxu stood up. "What Scholar Xu said is also false. Come, come and tell Xu Tongxu that any of you are illiterate. Guangxu automatically filtered the first half of the sentence, but grabbed the second half of the sentence to talk about things.

Of course, these students can understand how to read pictures, how to work, and how to be qualified to study abroad if they can't even read words. The students were talking nonsense.

"That's enough." Cixi stopped the students' voices heavily: "What kind of politics is this messy discussion?" "The hatred in Cixi's heart, she lost a game in the first round. Xu Tong is loyal and loyal, but his speech is indeed much worse. If you don't say a word, you'll die.

Xu Tong didn't understand this truth, but fell to the ground like a second flute: "Empress Dowager Qiyu." Today is the first court meeting since the emperor's pro-government, and as a courtier of the Qing Dynasty, he really has a lot to say. Since the First Sino-Japanese War, the emperor's governance has been repeatedly improper, and the ancestors have changed the law at will, only blindly imitating foreigners. Externally, he blindly softly accommodated foreigners, and lost the majesty of the Qing Dynasty. Internally, he ignored the government's outline, implemented the so-called new policy, and ignored the words of the ministers. It also signed a treaty with foreigners to lose power and humiliate the country. So much so that hundreds of officials are centrifuged, and the world's scholars are chilled. In the long run, the country will not be a country. As he spoke, Xu Tong took out a fold from his arms and explained all the drawbacks caused by the emperor's new policy. Xu Tong frothed at the mouth and said for half an hour, and every word pointed directly at the emperor.

Xu Tong's words were like a flood opening the floodgates, and for a while, many ministers came out of their shifts, holding up the excerpts that had already been written, and denounced the emperor's new policy together.

"The Queen Mother Mingjian. The shortcomings of the New Deal have shaken the country's foundation, and if we don't recover it, I am afraid that we will be in danger. Xu Tong bowed deeply.

"Ridiculous. Absurd. The great fallacy of the world. Wang Mingluan, the right attendant of the ministry, came out of class and said: "Since you ministers think that the new policy is so unbearable. Why don't you see your advice on weekdays? Not to mention the pros and cons of the new policy, what can you do for the Qing Dynasty since you became a minister? Listen to music and prostitutes all day long, but make a big fuss here. Ask yourself. And shameless! ”

Wang Mingluan bluntly objected to making Xu Tong unable to step down, and this is not the first time he has done so. In the first year of the First Wu Dynasty, when the emperor was trapped in Tianzhuangtai, Japan demanded to cede Liaodong, Taiwan, and Penghu. In the court, he fought against the ministers, saying that the emperor would win and the sea and the frontier could not be abandoned. When the emperor did not return to Beijing after the Liaohe War, he opposed the Empress Dowager's rule and forced the Empress Dowager Chen to let the government go to the emperor. Today, he was the first to walk to the front of the stage.

"Lord Wang, regardless of the right or wrong of the advice, as a courtier, he should have spoken out. And the emperor should also listen to the advice of the ministers. Xu Tong proudly looked at the many ministers who were with him: "How can Lord Wang not see it." ”

"Outspoken?" Wang Mingluan sneered: "Support the troops on the side." persecuted the emperor to the front. Is this called outspokenness? I think you are trying to rebel. Why did I come out of the Qing Dynasty and other disloyal and unrighteous ministers? After that, he turned to the Queen Mother: "There is no reason for the court to discuss politics with Chen Bing on the side, please ask the Queen Mother to dismiss the soldiers outside the palace and discuss the government again." ”

"Lord Wang, don't you see that there are emperor's guards around here. Why don't you ask the emperor to go to the guards? Xu Tong counterattacked: "The minister played Wang Mingluan roared at the court, imploring the Queen Mother to remove Wang Mingluan." Set an example. ”

"This place is the royal palace, and they are the guards of the inner palace. The guards of the inner palace are in charge of the royal palace, and dare to ask Lord Xu what's wrong with this? Can Lord Xu explain why these troops who were supposed to be stationed on the Ganshan Frontier to defend against the enemy appeared in the palace? ”

"Naturally, I was transferred here."

"Who's assigned? But is the Queen Mother? ”

"Definitely." Xu Tong also became smart now, and knew that he couldn't mention the Queen Mother: "The one who is served, Prince Li." ”

Shi Duo's face suddenly turned black, this is clearly to Raben King into the water. I only heard Wang Mingluan asking him, can there be the emperor's will to transfer troops into Beijing, and can there be a tiger talisman to prove it? Of course not, and you can't move out of the Queen Mother. But the explanation is not clear, but it is a felony of privately transferring border soldiers, which is a rebellion to exterminate the nine clans. Shi Duo, who had a black face, could only reluctantly explain: "This king is the prince of the dynasty, and he is also the foreman of the military aircraft. It's just a matter of transferring thousands of troops, and how can it be without power. ”

"Which law of the Great Qing Kingdom stipulates that the prince, the foreman, the minister of military aircraft, has the right to transfer troops. The prince knows that privately transferring border soldiers is a crime of rebellion. ”

Quarrel below. For the sake of whether Shiduo has the right to transfer troops, Wang Mingluan alone argues eloquently with his ministers. Back then, Zhuge Liang's tongue battle group was not so fierce. Guangxu was happy. Originally, he wanted to show the shortcomings of the emperor's new policy, but he was abducted by Wang Mingluan and brought to Shiduo for the crime of privately transferring border soldiers.

"Shut up." Cixi was furious. After talking for a long time but not getting to the point, the Manchu ministers are still pestering. What great things can be achieved by such a minister?

The Queen Mother was angry, and Xu Tong and others also reacted. Zai Yi came out of class: "Queen Mother, the new deal has a lot of drawbacks, so stop it immediately." to show the law of the imperial court. ”

The minister seconded. The minister thinks that regardless of the pros and cons of the new policy, the new policy is also one of the laws of the imperial court, and if it is not appropriate, it should be banned. Weng Tongyi stood up. Look at the emperor on the stage, and look at the situation today. What concerns do you have about the realm that has been broken, it is nothing more than a dead ear: "However, how can the court law allow others to despise, otherwise the past will not let the world look at the court and things." The minister thought that he should first revitalize the law of the dynasty and then ban the new policy. Prince Li's private transfer of border soldiers into Beijing is a great crime of rebellion. Therefore, the minister asked the Queen Mother to issue an edict to punish the nine clans of Shiduo. ”

Jae-yi said the wrong thing again. The imperial party and the faction all understood that the Queen Mother was planning for herself today, so they decided to make a strategy of messing around and making it impossible for the Queen Mother to succeed. As long as it is after today, the world is still the emperor.

I saw Shi Duo angrily pointing at Weng Tongxiao: "Weng Tongxiao, although this king has different political views from you, he has never been a black hand behind his back." Why do you want to punish the nine clans of this king? ”

"Back to the prince, all the ministers and workers want to revitalize the dynasty. Degree of Demonstra. The subordinate is also Nai, but the prince privately transferred the border soldiers, which is really intolerable. Please also invite the prince to the Nine Springs, don't blame me. If you want to blame it, blame those who have to revitalize the dynasty and show the law. ”

"This king's transfer of troops is at the behest of the Queen Mother." For the life of the nine clans, Shiduo also fought.

"Please ask the prince to show the queen mother's decree. If not, I can only ask the prince for forgiveness. ”

Looking at Shi Duo, who was crying and lying on the ground and begging for help, Cixi was furious: "It is the decree of the mourning family to Prince Li." What else do you have to say. ”

"Even if the Queen Mother has a will, Prince Nali is naturally not guilty. Weichen is acting according to the laws of the imperial court, and I ask the prince to forgive me. Weng Tongrong changed the topic: "The imperial court has its own laws. During the auxiliary administration of the Queen Mother. Feasible Emperor Thing. Naturally, the world's soldiers and horses can be adjusted. But Weichen didn't know that after becoming the emperor's pro-government. The Queen Mother still has the right to transfer troops. Therefore, because of the strict law of the imperial court, I also asked the Queen Mother to ...... "Weng Tonggong knelt down and didn't say anything."

Weng Tongyi is forcing the Queen Mother to sin, so there is no possibility of discipline and government. If the anger in Cixi's eyes can turn into fire. It can definitely be turned into ashes. But I couldn't say anything, so I could only look around and let those who understood come to relieve the siege.

"Master Weng keeps saying that the law of the dynasty is the law, but it can be seen that the emperor ignores the law of the dynasty the most. Looking at the more than 3,000 people around, does Master Weng know how they got to study abroad? It was the emperor who bought all the railways from Beijing to Shanghai, to Guangzhou, and to Harbin to foreigners. Not only that, but what gold was exchanged for, and the land was leased. As far as I know, at this moment, Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi is talking with foreigners about buying the railway from Shanghai to Changsha to foreigners. Tang Shaoyi, you came out and said it was not. This is in disregard of the laws of the dynasty. This is buying a country for glory. ”

As soon as Xu Tong's words fell, the audience suddenly exclaimed. Even the 3,000 students who listened to the government began to discuss, it turned out that they could study abroad, and the emperor paid it back at such a big price. Immediately, someone shouted: "Please take back the emperor's order, the grass people can't wait." ”

"Your Majesty, did you hear that?" Xu Tong then played: "Empress Dowager Qi. Just now, all the ministers have already reported many shortcomings of the new policy. The minister thinks that the decline of the country should indeed seek the law of revitalization. However, the emperor was young and had no experience in governance, but he acted quite impatiently. This has come to the juncture of the country's survival, and Weichen dared to ask the Queen Mother to use decades of experience in governing the country to stabilize the dynasty for our Qing Dynasty. ”

When everyone heard this, they knelt down and admonished: "Please ask the Queen Mother to train the government and revitalize the dynasty." ”

Re-ask for discipline and government, and should resign and invite three times to show humility. But today's situation is very different, and if you give in a little today, you will have no chance. So Cixi was not polite, and asked directly: "What the emperor has done should be really bold." The emperor also heard the advice of the ministers, what is the saying at this time? ”

Tang Shaoyi was about to come forward to explain that it was not a sale of railways but cooperation, and that the Qing Dynasty had far ownership and the foreigners were only the right to operate. As soon as he wanted to come out, he saw the emperor looking at him and shaking his head, so he stepped back.

"I've heard it all, what a price I and the country have paid to allow you to study abroad. Betraying the country for glory, such a big crime, I can't carry it. Guangxu looked at the students in the audience: "China has built a country with integrity, and it has been doing what it says for thousands of years. Now that the contract has been completed, but it has to be treacherous, what is the foundation of China's founding? Tell me, can we be treacherous? ”

Only a few of the students replied, "No." ”

"Yes, no. Write a person one by one, and be an upright person. Not only can you not be treacherous, but you should also know that the Qing Dynasty does not dare to be treacherous. The British warships were several times larger than those of our Qing Dynasty, and if our Qing Dynasty betrayed its word and attracted British retaliation, the losses would be even greater. Not to mention the United States, France, Germany and Italy. The price has been paid, so I implore you not to give up. I endure the foreigners cutting flesh and drinking blood on the already thin body of the Qing Dynasty, just so that you can learn. So, please don't waste the opportunity to learn. The Qing Dynasty is poor and weak, and all walks of life need leaders who can stand up to the sky. This is an era of rapid change, but also the best of times. Every effort will become a heavy fruit in the future. I want to watch you return from your studies, build warships that are more powerful than foreigners for the Qing Dynasty, and watch you lead a powerful fleet to sail the seas. If you give up now, what about the warship? What about the fleet? Can we only watch in our own territorial waters, foreigners flying warships to show off their might? You say, can we just give up the opportunity to study? ”

"I can't." It's a lot louder.

"We're going to study, we're asking people to teach us. Can people agree without paying a price? So, don't waste your time in the next three years or so. Learn by heart. Fill your brains with advanced technical knowledge of foreigners, and when you come back from learning, you can rebuild China. At that time, you will build warships and make cannons, and take back ten, hundred, or thousand times what I have lost and sold. Guangxu stood up violently, pointed his fingers in all directions and asked loudly, "Can you do it?" ”

"Yes." The answer resounded through the sky.

"Hahahaha-" Guangxu looked up to the sky and smiled, and threw the dragon crown on the ground: "So, my wish is enough." The crisp cracking sound broke the top into two sections.

"The Emperor-" Looking at the emperor who had dropped the dragon crown, the emperor and the students all knelt on the ground. The students did not expect that in order to allow them to study abroad. The emperor not only compromised the foreigners. The throne has also become a price.

"The grass people and others will study with all their hearts. Live up to the emperor's high expectations. But after completing his studies, he returned to China and repaid the emperor's grace. "When one person speaks, a thousand people answer. Cixi's face was completely black, and the emperor lost the court but won the hearts of the people.

"Well, as long as you study by heart. Learning to serve the motherland, if I have the time when China is powerful overseas, it will be worth it no matter how much I pay. Guangxu walked down the steps and slowly untied the dragon robe: "It's just that I just promised you, but I can't do it." It's not that I don't believe in my words, it's really beyond my power. I only hope that after you return to China after completing your studies, you will not forget that studying abroad is what the motherland has paid for at any cost. ”

"The grass people and others do not forget the grace of their parents, nor do they forget the grace of the emperor's teaching."

Guangxu walked down the steps and walked into the crowd: "Go, go." With the entrustment of the motherland. Thinking of the motherland's expectation. Go ahead and embark on your vast journey to study. I am here waiting for you to come back, waiting for you to build a strong China. ”

"The grass people and others respectfully receive the emperor's holy decree." Three thousand students knelt on the ground.

The emperor, who walked through the crowd, did not look back, and the dragon robe slowly fell behind him. The emperor's back is so lonely and heavy. On the Jinshui Bridge, the emperor did not look back. just moved forward silently alone, and Gan Jun didn't dare to stop him. I only heard the emperor say in a deep voice: "Studying abroad is hard, and I hope everyone can work together to unite as one." Three thousand people went, and three thousand returned. I don't want anyone to be missing from those who come back. When you return to the country after you have completed your studies, you will root your feet in this land. Work with your hands, build and arm this country with your minds. Then, raise your noble heads, wave your fists, and tell the Western powers with your own words: The world needs to listen attentively to the voice of the East. In this way, I wish it was enough. ”

"Your Majesty-" Tang Shaoyi was the first to rush a few steps and knelt down: "Weichen swears allegiance to the emperor." Your Majesty—"

"Wechen swears allegiance to the emperor." The Qingliu Emperor Party led by Weng Tonggong all knelt down and swore an oath.

"The grass people swear allegiance to the emperor." The three thousand students knelt down and swore an oath together.

"Hahahaha-" Guangxu, who was about to enter the noon gate, raised his hands and said loudly: "You have to be loyal not only to the emperor, but also to this country, to this land, and to the Chinese nation living on this land." Remember, you must be united. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Guangxu had already walked through the noon gate. A bright song came in from the noon gate.

Five thousand years of wind and rain, how many dreams have been hidden. Yellow face, black eyes, unchanged smile. Eight thousand miles of mountains and rivers are like a song, no matter where you come from and where you will go.

The same tears, the same pain. The suffering of the past remains in our hearts. The same blood, the same seed. There are still dreams in the future, and we will open up together.

Hand in hand, you and I walk forward with our heads held high, and let the world know that we are all Chinese.

Hand in hand, we walk forward with our heads held high, let the world know that we are all - yes - China, China, people -
