"I built the Jingshi University Hall to give you a place to do academic knowledge, not for you to discuss the form of government." Guangxu just entered the principal's office and slammed the dragon robe and dragon crown on the table with two "pops", and was furious.

Under the emperor's fury, the last person to come in only came for a long time and hurriedly knelt down as soon as he closed the door. And Li Hongzhang, who was kneeling at the front, didn't understand what was going on, why didn't the emperor mention why the group fight outside the door suddenly came to the political system? Li Hongzhang, who didn't know why, could only ask Rong Hong, the principal of the University Hall, with his eyes.

As the principal, Rong Hong naturally knew what was happening on campus, and the reason why he did not interfere with the previous discussion of the battle of the Liaohe River on campus was because he had always adhered to the atmosphere of freedom on American campuses: "Your Majesty, the reason why our Qing Dynasty was able to defeat Japan in the First Sino-Japanese War was that the emperor's credit in it could not be erased by others if it was slandered by others." Therefore, Weichen thought that the emperor did not have to worry too much, not to mention them, even if he talked about the First Sino-Japanese War thousands of years later, the emperor would be a great contribution. ”

Rong Hong believes that if the Qing Dynasty wants to make great progress to keep up with the pace of the world, then academic freedom is indispensable. This is the truth that the more reason is debated, the clearer it becomes, and only academic freedom can really make a leap of thought. For this, Guangxu also gave a high degree of affirmation. Guangxu also took the Warring States period as an example, the reason why China was able to lead the world as early as a thousand years ago was because of the controversy over the governing concepts of Confucianism, Legalism, Mohism and other schools of thought during the Warring States Period, although all dynasties after the Han Dynasty respected Confucianism as the head, but did not completely abolish and prohibit other schools of thought until the Ming Dynasty. Since the rule of Zhu Xue's theory in China. China has started to regress until now (really now).

"It's okay if it's just about whether I've been credited or not, but do you know what they're talking about in the name of talking about my merits? They were plotting how to overthrow the Qing Dynasty. How did you become a principal? Don't even say you don't know about this kind of thing. Guangxu clenched his right hand into a fist and slammed it on the table, then pointed at Rong Hong and roared: "Are you planning with this?"

The glass on the table had long been shattered under Guangxu's fist, and the broken glass shards had cut Guangxu's hand, and on the hand that Guangxu pointed at Rong Hong, blood was dripping.

"Weichen really doesn't know about this, and I ask the emperor to investigate." Rong Hong was terrified. If he knew that these people would talk about this kind of thing, Rong Hong wouldn't dare to let them enter the academy.

Li Hongzhang was also taken aback, and even openly discussed the overthrow of the Qing Dynasty in the school, which was a rebellion. Li Hongzhang looked around, there were only a few Hanchen and the chief officials of the academy here, it seemed that the emperor left most of the Hanchen and all the Manchu ministers in the playground to appease everyone on purpose, and what the emperor said should not be wrong, Li Hongzhang said carefully: "The emperor is angry, and Weichen and Lord Rong immediately check this matter." We will definitely arrest all the conspirators as soon as possible. With all due respect, where did the emperor learn about this? ”

"It turns out that you Li Hongzhang don't know either, it seems that those people have done a good job of secrecy. If you don't know, just ask your good daughter. Guangxu was furious: "Get out." Get out—"

The crowd exited the door. The door was gently closed, and Li Hongzhang asked impatiently, "Principal Rong, what's going on?" ”

Rong Hong looked helpless: "Xia Guan really didn't know about it, otherwise Xia Guan wouldn't have been able to let this kind of statement circulate in the school." ”

"Call the chrysanthemum root at once." Li Hongzhang said with a serious expression: "Whoever dares to leak this matter, this official will not be spared." ”

Li Jurong hurried over alone, and only then did she explain the matter. But she didn't know who said it to the emperor. It wasn't until she thought about what happened today carefully that she found Yang Zao'er.

"It's all Sister Ju who is not good, knowing that he is the emperor, why Sister Ju didn't say it earlier." Yang Zao'er looked innocent: "If I knew that he was the emperor, I wouldn't have said anything to him." ”

"Now that the emperor already knows, it's useless to say more now." Li Hongzhang said: "Zao'er girl. Do you remember what the emperor said after you finished speaking? ”

"Just tell me not to talk about it. Don't even talk about acquaintances. ”

"That's okay, things may turn around. Principal Rong, control these people first, and wait for the emperor's decree to be unexpected. Li Hongzhang set the tone: "Chrysanthemum, you must fully cooperate with Principal Rong." ”

"The father doesn't have to worry too much, the daughter borrowed the father's manpower to find out these people a long time ago. So the daughter went back and wrote down the names and residences of these men and gave them to her father. It's just, is the emperor okay? ”

"The emperor is just thundering and angry, how can he be good at this moment."

"Then I'll go and persuade the emperor." Li Jurong smiled and said: "Fathers don't have to worry, daughters have their own proportions." ”

In the quiet room, only the sound of Guangxu's breathing remained, and Guangxu stared blankly at the ceiling. I thought that the victory of the First Sino-Japanese War could effectively alleviate the dissatisfaction of those radicals in China with the imperial court, but the result was still wrong. For the sake of the so-called revolution and the so-called ideal country, they ignore the current situation in China. When the guns of the Wuchang uprising rang out, these revolutionary pioneers were still drinking tea abroad, and when they learned the news of the victory, they hurried back home. Is this also called a revolution? Or did they not expect it at all? Hmph, these revolutionary pioneers, they are just immersed in their own fantasies.

"Babble-" The door was gently pushed open.

"Get out." Guangxu didn't turn around. But the visitor only paused for a moment, but continued to walk in.

Guangxu turned his head with an angry face, and after seeing the person coming, he let out a long sigh: "Say whatever you want, anyway, I've heard everything I shouldn't have heard, and it's not a little bit more." "Li Jurong is not the only one who came in, she also took Anqian with her. Because she knew that the emperor couldn't get angry in front of Anxi. And in fact, she guessed right.

Li Jurong did not salute, walked up to Guangxu and raised his right hand: "If the country wants to be strong, there must be a leader." So, for the sake of the future of the country, you have to take care of yourself. Qian'er studied medical care, and she still has the best grades in the university. Give her your hand, you should rest assured. ”

Bringing Anqian here is to make the emperor angry. Another joke is also to let the emperor calm down. But what Li Jurong didn't expect was that Guangxu took off his coat and ripped off his sleeves, and there was a big cross-shaped scar on his right arm.

"I dug out the warhead with a knife." Guangxu's implication is what this injury on his hand can be!

Li Jurong was dumbfounded, and she didn't know how to reply, so she could only take her coat and put it on Guangxu.

"Last winter's winter was much colder than that. Sit down and talk. ”

Listening to Guangxu's leisurely words, Li Jurong smiled bitterly and sat down: "His name is Lu Haodong." ”

"I thought that the school was just a place to learn. Although hot-blooded, it is still simple. So I never had any precautions against the Academy, but I didn't expect them to pick this place. I really didn't expect that those party associations in Guangdong had infiltrated the capital. ”

"What is the emperor going to do?"

"These people are knowledgeable, idealistic, young and energetic. In fact, like me, they also want the country to be strong, and if they can be used by me, I can make the country go faster. It's just that the path they chose is completely different from mine, and the difference in thinking dooms us to only fight. They always want to overthrow the imperial court to achieve the republic in their hearts, and then the country can become strong overnight. But they don't see the current state of the country - warlordism. Even I, the emperor, can't command the world. And what are they capable of ruling over the whole country? Have they ever thought about whether the overthrow of the Qing Dynasty will be a phoenix nirvana or a fire pit for the country? ”

"I know where they are."

Guangxu didn't reply, just quietly watched Anqian clean his wounds and bandage him. And in the whole process. Ancy didn't say a word. Until she finishes the final bandage.

"You go out first." Guangxu sighed softly.

Anqian raised her head and glanced at Guangxu, packed her things and went out. None of the ministers waiting outside the door knew what the emperor and Li Jurong were talking about inside, until the lights were on, and all the lights in the university hall were turned on, and Li Jurong came out of the room: "Ladies and gentlemen, about the rumors in the school. The emperor let all the adults pretend that it has never happened. The emperor's original words were: What should I do, I have another way. ”

The ministers looked at each other, and they never knew what the emperor meant. Is it possible to indulge in rebellion? When the ministers were at a loss, Guangxu came out neatly dressed, and walked straight to the playground without looking at everyone with an angry face.

on the playground. The men on both sides were also pointed at gunpoint by the soldiers of the 1st Regiment. These soldiers stood for so long without the slightest sign of fatigue, but the calmness on their faces could not hide the murderous aura in their eyes. Very good. Guangxu nodded. Maintaining a murderous spirit anywhere is Guangxu's most basic requirement for the army. And the calm face also corresponds to the idea that the Guangxu army does not interfere in politics.

Seeing the emperor come out, the ministers stepped forward to say goodbye. Shi Duo even quietly walked to Li Hongzhang's side, and asked the emperor with his eyes, does he have a will? Li Hongzhang could only shake his head.

Guangxu waved his hand: "It's all gone." ”

All the ministers didn't know why, and even Li Hongzhang and Shiduo looked at each other. That's it, more than a dozen people died on both sides, so I won't ask? But he couldn't stand the emperor's words, so he could only follow behind.

In front of the gate, Guangxu stopped and turned his head to look at the school gate: "Spread my will." From now on, no horses and carriages are allowed. From the emperor and the queen mother, down to the peddlers' pawns, all those who enter this door must obey the doorman's dispatch and enter on foot. Engrave my meaning on the gate. Duan Qirui. ”

"Here."

"Leave the elite company of soldiers behind and take over the security of the academy in full. Anyone who does not listen to the dispatch and wants to forcibly break in, and anyone who gathers a crowd to make trouble in the school hall will be shot on the spot without asking for a reason. ”

"Yes. Assemble in a row and take over the school. With Duan Qirui's command, a company of soldiers entered the gatehouse on both sides of the school gate in a neat and orderly manner, and machine guns, rifles, guards, and sentries were immediately in place.

"Have you seen enough? See enough and go. Each goes back to his own house, and each finds his own mother. ”

The emperor is gone, the ministers are gone, and the students on the boulevard on the campus are also helping each other to leave. In addition to the soldiers of the company guarding the gate, the other troops also left. The flag-bearers gathered outside the door looked at the pain all over the ground, and they were dissatisfied again. The emperor did not scold the students here, but beat the two bannermen to death and cripplement.

"The emperor is unfair." "Why didn't the emperor ask the Han minions to criticize my banner people!" "Is the emperor still our full-man emperor?" The flagmen were indignant, and for a while they were ready to move.

"Huh" The crisp gunshots rang out, and the commander of the first company said viciously: "You dare to make trouble." Looking at the rows of guns, the flagmen felt empty.

"Old and young masters, the emperor doesn't care about our bannermen. Let's go to the Queen Mother to judge and ask the Queen Mother to come out and administer justice. Let's go to Qianqingmen and kneel down. ”

After Guangxu returned to the palace, he locked himself in the imperial study and didn't care about the noisy flag people outside the palace gate, and no one was seen. Even the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces, Qi Zhi, was blocked back by the guard battalion. Only let people spread the word, tomorrow morning the Manchu ministers will enter the palace, and all the Hanchen will go to the signing room to listen to the announcement.

After getting the emperor's words, the queen mother of the two palaces personally came forward to temporarily calm the noise outside the palace. The Manchu ministers who learned of what had happened in the school were so angry that they used the evening time to visit around, and agreed to take advantage of Hanchen's absence to denounce the university hall tomorrow morning, so that the emperor would give an explanation to the dead Manchus.

But the next morning, before they could speak, Guangxu threw the teacup on the ground and smashed their words into his mouth.

"A group of waste, more than 2,000 banner people to fight less than 1,000 Han people. There are more than two to one, and three others were killed, but eighteen of them died, and they dared to be fair to me and make trouble in front of the palace gate. Prince Shiduo, go and cut down all these nests. ”

"The emperor is angry." All the ministers fell to their knees at once.

If this kind of thing is just a matter of facts, it will not be possible to avoid the punishment of the Manchus or Han people in any case. As long as it is a punishment, how should it be punished, and to what extent? Only punish the Han people, then the Han people will definitely be dissatisfied; Only punish the full people, and the full people will also be dissatisfied. If they are all punished, as long as one is heavier and the other is light, it will cause dissatisfaction with the heavy punishment. It is better to trouble others than to make trouble for themselves. Find something more serious so that everyone can't care about what's in front of you. Guangxu snickered, and the goal was achieved - to transfer the goal.

Guangxu was still angry on the surface: "Rest the anger, stop the anger." Two thousand banner people can't beat a thousand Han people, and if it spreads out, the Han people are not all reversed! There is no court full of people, do I dare to be angry? Do you think that it is great to hold the hardcore crops of the imperial court? Let me tell you that the court gave you hardcore crops to defend the Qing Dynasty. But can you still defend it? Spread my will, after the New Year, all the bannermen will stop. Retreat. ”

Everyone was shocked, and the whole court was in an uproar.
