Chapter 176: The Qing Emperor abdicates

The soldiers of the Zhengnan Army quickly surrounded the Taihe Palace, and then the soldiers of two companies rushed into the Taihe Palace, inspected it thoroughly, and asked the nobles to stand in their respective positions as required, waiting for the arrival of the division commander and the chief of staff.

Ping Judong and Han Sheng walked into the Taihe Hall together, which is the main building and core space of the entire palace city. Ping Judong inquired around, and it was the first time he had entered this Taihe Palace, so he naturally had to have a good time.

On the top of the load-bearing eaves palace, sit down three layers, white marble pedestal, the golden dragon and the seal color painting are in company, the roof is placed with the immortal beast, 11 rooms, all adopt the highest shape system.

With such an imposing hall, it is fortunate that they did not forcibly attack, otherwise I am afraid that this Taihe Hall will be in ruins again.

Ping Judong looked at Emperor Guangxu who was sitting on the dragon chair, and Emperor Guangxu did not have a panicked expression at this time, but looked at Ping Judong very indifferently, as if Ping Judong was his general.

Neither side spoke for a while, and the ministers were also trembling with fright from the three-edged military thorns hanging on the muzzles of the soldiers of the Zhengnan Army, their lips kept trembling, and even more pale, they leaned close to the people around them, as if the other party could bring him a sense of security.

At this time, even if they didn't even dare to gasp loudly, they secretly prayed to the ancestors and ancestors in their hearts, praying that the ancestors and ancestors would bless and let them survive.

All the powerful ministers are like this, not to mention the families who are still elsewhere at this time, in the courtyard where these ministers' families are placed, the cries of women, children, and sons are completely stained with the entire courtyard. At this time, the entire palace, except for the dormitory where Cixi was, seemed to be filled with crying and fear.

"I have sent someone to discuss negotiations with your commander-in-chief, Wang Lin, why did you ignore the rules of the battlefield and attack the capital before the results of the negotiations were obtained?" Emperor Guangxu couldn't help but speak, and asked in a straightforward voice for the first time in surprise.

At this time, Guangxu no longer had the heart to sit here and continue to confront them, anyway, sooner or later he was going to abdicate, what does it have to do with how many minutes earlier and how many minutes later? Moreover, sitting on this dragon chair, Guangxu felt endless pressure, not only those princes and nobles, Manchu ministers, but also the pressure from the Manchu ancestors.

Although he has never really gotten the right to be an emperor for a day, and has never done what an emperor should really do, but today he is the one who is controlled by the Empress Dowager Cixi, who can blame him for listening to the government? If you want to blame yourself, you will blame yourself for your bad luck, and you were elected to be the emperor after the death of the previous emperor. Moreover, she was too young to allow Cixi, who was already infinitely greedy for power, to succeed and become the 'lord of a country', and control the emperor, training him to become a real puppet.

But those are not important, the important thing is that he is still the son of today, or the emperor recognized by the Qing Dynasty, although he has no power in his hands, but no one will care about these, people only know that Guangxu lost the throne, and the Qing Kingdom was destroyed in his hands. In the past, hundreds of years ago, when the ancestors galloped on the battlefield and fought desperately, they did not expect that this country would end up like this.

Now, there is no turning point, Wang Lin is bent on destroying the Qing Dynasty, and it is difficult to save the overall situation with the power of the emperor alone, rather than continuing to sit here and suffer endless suffering, it is better to be a real emperor happily. Guangxu stared at Ping Judong with dead eyes, as if waiting for his answer.

"I don't know who you sent to negotiate, and I don't know where your person in charge of negotiating is, anyway, I didn't get any news about the negotiation before I attacked, besides, Yanjing City has become a dead city, full of corpses, and my Zhengnan army has to attack." Ping Judong thought about it and answered Guangxu's question seriously.

He had also learned about the deeds of Emperor Guangxu before, and he was indeed a very tragic emperor, he had to listen to the Empress Dowager Cixi in everything, and he had no rights as a normal person at all. Looking at Guangxu's appearance today, Ping Judong couldn't help but feel a little miserable for Guangxu in his heart. Although the king of the dead country is hateful, sometimes it depends on what kind of monarch he is, and an emperor like Guangxu who can't do anything is hateful. Perhaps the only thing that can make people hate is why he didn't seize power and let the people feel the feeling of being ruled by Emperor Guangxu.

"What about Kang Youwei? Didn't he find you? Guangxu continued to ask with some loss. From the moment he took power, the entire Yanjing City had begun to be chaotic, and the officials and soldiers fled and hid, all thinking about their own safety, who would manage a city that was about to be lost?

"I don't know, you better prepare an abdication edict as soon as possible! Later, after our commander of the Yanjing Theater comes, you can read out the abdication. Ping Judong shook his head, feeling bitter in his heart.

I don't know why, when he personally said that he wanted Guangxu to prepare an edict to abdicate, he suddenly felt a heavy feeling in his heart, as if there was a heavier task calling him, and it seemed that he still had some pity for this foreigner who had informed China for more than 200 years.

At this time, Guangxu's mood was particularly low, he was ready to write an edict of abdication, and he also knew that it was impossible to succeed in negotiations, Wang Lin was not the kind of person who liked to compromise, especially when it came to this kind of thing in the country, and Guangxu never thought about continuing to be the emperor, because it was impossible. He is not as greedy for power as Cixi, even to the point of obsession, and has never experienced the taste of a real emperor for a day, although he also wants to experience it, but the reality tells him, you can't, you don't have this opportunity.

Although Guangxu already knew this result in his heart and made all the preparations, when this moment was about to come, he still felt a trace of fear, the kind of fear that came from the depths of his soul, from the inside out. He was afraid to meet his own people, his queen and concubines, and he was even more afraid to go to the underworld to meet his ancestors and ancestors. It's just that he didn't have a choice for all this, and after waiting for so many years, he finally asked him to wait for the opportunity, only to find that he could only issue an abdication edict.

After waiting for about half an hour, Chen Mingjie, the commander of the Yanjing Temporary Theater, came to the Taihe Palace. Looking at this building that represents the royal momentum, I praised it again and again, what can really be so magnificent, I'm afraid only the royal family can do it, right?

After entering the Taihe Palace, Chen Mingjie first greeted Ping Judong and others, and then looked around, and secretly sighed in his heart, it is worthy of being the place where the emperor ascended the throne, it is really luxurious enough, luxurious enough, any house in the palace is probably stronger than Wang Lin's office in Hainan, at least they are more luxurious than Wang Lin's office, and their appearance is more magnificent.

"This general must be the commander of the Yanjing Theater, right?" Guangxu wanted to speak several times, but finally endured it again, and only then did he speak after seeing that Chen Mingjie seemed to have recovered from the shock.

"Exactly, is the abdication edict ready? If you're good, get started! Chen Mingjie said lightly.

After accepting the abdication edict of the Guangxu Emperor, he had to deal with the affairs here as quickly as possible, and then rushed to the new temporary capital Nanjing overnight to participate in the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China there after the seventh day, and to serve as the commander-in-chief of the military parade.

Although Wang Lin had already told him about this, Chen Mingjie still thought that the time for him to prepare was too short, the troops had just come down from the front line, and had not yet experienced a period of integration, according to the parade rules required by the infantry code, it was difficult for soldiers to reach that state at this stage, after all, one by one, the murderous soldiers, who had killed people for several months, suddenly went back to form a queue, how could they bear it in a short time? Therefore, Chen Mingjie urged a little anxiously, he wanted to save more time, and train the soldiers for a few more days after arriving in Nanjing, so as not to make a fool of himself at that time.

"Before the edict of abdication was issued, I wanted to know a question. What will you do with these imperial relatives and Manchu officials? Guangxu asked in a flat tone, but he didn't ask what he would do with himself.

"We will do what history does." Chen Mingjie said.

Emperor Guangxu smiled bitterly and shook his head, in fact, he had already guessed that this would be the result, he personally went to ask Chen Mingjie, in fact, he wanted those imperial relatives to hear it. Emperor Guangxu said bitterly: "I want to die a dignified death!" ”

Chen Mingjie looked at Guangxu and nodded at him slowly, this request is not difficult, but for the outside world, it shows the generosity of the Zhengnan Army, when the dynasties changed, the slaughter of the relatives of the former emperor has become history, and it is also what every dynasty must do, and it must be done, so that the emperor of the previous dynasty hanged himself in front of him, but it can be regarded as respect for the previous dynasty.

Guangxu looked at his personal eunuch and nodded.

"Due to the uprising of the people's army, the provinces corresponded, and the nine summers were boiling, and the lives were devastated. For several months, there has been no definite solution, the north and the south are separated, each other is holding each other, business is dropping out, the people are exposed, and the government is indecisive, so the people's livelihood is uneasy. Nowadays, the psychology of the people of the whole country is mostly inclined to the southern army, and the southern and central provinces are not only advocating the front, but the northern generals are also advocating the last, the people's aspirations, 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 right to rule to the Wang Lin, the general period of the people to block, the sea to be peaceful, still Manchu, Han, Mongolian, Hui, Tibetan five ethnic groups complete territory, for the new country. Love Xin Jueluo? Zai Xiang, Emperor Guangxu, has abdicated since then!

Chin this! ”

When the eunuch finished reading the edict of abdication, Chen Mingjie slowly stepped forward to take the edict with both hands, and then watched Emperor Guangxu take out a pill from his body, shouting and swallowing it with tears. Guangxu swallowed the pill, which seemed to be a signal for the Zhengnan Army to make a move, and for a while, the Sanleng Army Thorn of the Zhengnan Army was deeply pierced into the body of every minister and the emperor's relatives, and the blood stained the Jinluan Palace.

After confirming the death of Emperor Guangxu, Chen Mingjie finally smiled and could finally form his own country. shouted loudly to the communication soldiers behind him: "Electrify the whole country in the form of electricity, Emperor Guangxu has officially abdicated, and the Qing Empire has since perished!" ”

Regarding this paragraph of the edict, the ranger was a little confused, and moved the abdication edict at that time to change, deleted it after it was changed, and changed it again after deletion, but the ranger didn't know much about this aspect, so it was the only way.

After this chapter, this book will officially enter a new stage, I hope that all readers and friends can support a hero, thank you!
