Cixi watched Guangxu leave like this. The broken dragon crown had already rolled down the stage, and the three thousand students and many officials in the audience all knelt down to the noon gate. The rest looked at themselves with nothing but blank expressions.

The emperor threw the dragon crown down, and it was he who gave up the throne. But you only have him as the emperor in your hearts, and you only recognize him as the emperor in your hearts. Where to put the mourning family, where will you put the queen mother of the Qing Dynasty, who can wait for life and death. Cixi walked down the steps angrily, picked up the dragon crown, and before she could speak, she heard the old scholar of Guozijian say: "Ladies and gentlemen, the emperor can no longer see you off. But the emperor had already asked the official to set up a banquet for you and other students. I would like to invite all the students to go out of the palace with the official to attend the banquet, and let the official wait for a glass of water and wine on behalf of the emperor, and wait for the students to return to the country as soon as possible. ”

"Your Excellency." A middle-aged master in the crowd said: "The emperor has already paid too much for the grass people. But now the grass people really can't share the emperor's worries. I am also happy to save some expenses for the emperor. He also asked the adults to withdraw the banquet, and allowed the grass people to leave with a handful of loess, so that they would be satisfied. ”

"Yes, sir. Remove the wine banquet and let the grass people leave with a handful of land. "3,000 students are invited.

The old scholar of Guozijian happily stroked his long beard: "Okay, good, hold a handful of home, and you will be at home at the end of the world." How this cannot be allowed. This banquet was originally expensive, and it was invited by the emperor from the inner palace for his own use. Now, as you have requested, let it be withdrawn. Please go to the train station with the official, and then leave your hometown to study. With that, he took the students and walked out.

"What are you going to go, is it time to mourn the family? None of them are allowed to leave. "If you leave, don't ask the mourning family to leave, does the mourning family agree to let you leave? Do you still take the mourning family seriously? In the sixty-one years of Cixi, she has never been angry. Today, the emperor just said a few words to let these mud-legged people who had never seen the world be loyal to him. Then he completely regarded her, the queen mother, as air. It has always been others who have tapped her mind, and it has always been others who have followed her anger. Her wrath should determine the rise and fall of the world. If these people are let go today, what will the courtiers think of the mourning family, and how will the people of the world look at the mourning family. Now it's not a question of going or not leaving. It is related to the majesty of the Queen Mother and the face of the court. How could these mud legs be slapped in Cixi's face like this. These people can go, but they can only go if they ask the will of the mourners.

I saw the old pedant turn around and say, "The emperor is the Son of Heaven, above ten thousand people." The emperor has already approved it. That's right. ”

He threw off the dragon's crown and took off his dragon robe. He is not the emperor. ”

"That's just that the emperor wants to change his top and clothes. The emperor is the emperor. ”

"Believe it or not, the mourning family will abolish him, the emperor." Cixi was furious. Cixi really didn't want to do anything about abolishing the emperor and re-establishing it, because she understood that once the emperor was abolished and re-established, she couldn't deal with the 100,000 heavy soldiers of the emperor's henchmen first. However, at this moment, even a petty official of the fourth rank of the country's eunuch dared to openly contradict her, the queen mother, in front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty. If she can't stand up to the court, how will she rule the world in the future. No matter how unwilling you are, you have to do it.

But she could not have imagined that the answer to her was the loading of a glittering pistol. Yang Dongzi pulled out his gun and loaded it, and aimed the muzzle of the gun at Cixi a few meters away: "The Empress Dowager Lafayette knows that the humble position has become extremely timid since the heavy damage in the first battle of Liaohe. At the slightest fright, my hands will tremble. "I finished speaking. Chang Dongzi's hand shook, and the muzzle of the gun flashed with a bang. A pendant on the head of the flag on Cixi's head slowly fell: "Therefore, I implore the Empress Dowager to be careful when she speaks, and don't frighten the lowly office again." Otherwise, if the humble hand shakes and hurts the queen mother, the humble position will be dead. ”

"You ......" Cixi pointed to Yang Dongzi's hand and trembled, but she was speechless for a while.

"Huang Huaming. Immediately lead the Royal Janissary Battalion to escort the students away. Until they all boarded the ship safely and left. Ouchi guards escorted the emperor back to Yingtai. If blocked, shoot and kill. ”

Yang Dongzi's words fell, and the guards in the hall immediately took action. The Ouchi guards turned around and drove towards the noon gate, and the royal guard camp was also surrounded by three thousand students, and began to drive towards the noon gate.

"One row stays, the others advance." Huang Huaming turned his head to Yang Dongzi and said, "Battalion commander, take care." After speaking, he took the troops to protect the students and left.

Thousands of Gan troops who had not been ordered to get out of the way. Looking at the guards with murderous intent in their eyes, his heart was chilling. Looking at the arrogant guards in front of him, Dong Fuxiang hated it in his heart. If the emperor is let go like this today, once the emperor is in power in the future, he will only die and have no place to be buried. More than 3,000 Gan troops, plus the Xishan Ruijian Battalion and the Fengtai Battalion, had a total strength of more than five times that of the guards. No matter how weak the combat strength is, this pressure will crush them to death. But he didn't dare to give an order, just because Yang Dongzi's gun never left Cixi.

The guards left. The students also left, and there were only Yang Dongzi and less than a hundred guards in front of the palace. The ministers who had stopped reacting due to the sudden change finally came to their senses and scolded Yang Dongzi one after another. Especially Baylor Zaiyi: "The surname Yang, don't put down your gun yet." Dare to point a gun at the Queen Mother, are you tired of life! ”

But Yang Dongzi didn't say a word. Just stared at Cixi.

Cixi's anger did not subside, and he dared to shoot himself when he was pointed at gunpoint. Although it only interrupted a charm, it was also a blasphemy against his authority. Cixi stared at Yang Dongzi viciously, stepped forward step by step, gritted her teeth and said, "Kneel down for the mourning family immediately." Otherwise, mourn your family and destroy your nine clans. ”

"Bang", the muzzle flashed again. The audience fell silent, and even the north wind seemed to stop. The flag head above Cixi's head was broken in half by a single shot, and fell to the ground with a snap. The already coiled hair suddenly scattered, and thousands of green silks covered Cixi's shoulders. The ministers were stunned, Yang Dongzi really dared to shoot. Cixi was stunned, the flash of fire from the muzzle of the gun a few meters away completely shocked Cixi, he really dared to shoot.

"Empress Dowager Qi, it's really cowardly. The lowly marksmanship has always been accurate, and today he was scared by the Queen Mother so closely, and he was crooked. However, the humble position implored the queen mother to stop scaring the humble position, and the humble position did not dare to guarantee when the marksmanship would be accurate again. The fate of the nine lowly clans hangs in the hands of the Queen Mother, but she never dares to hurt the Queen Mother. In the face of anger everywhere, Yang Dongzi is neither arrogant nor humble.

At this moment, Prince Tan loves Xin Jueluo? Yi Cheng's third son loves Xin Jueluo? Jae-lan rushed out. He believed that Yang Dongzi's actions were what Guangxu meant, and he also believed that Guangxu would not really shoot the Queen Mother. Otherwise, Guangxu didn't need to drop the dragon crown and take off the dragon robe. Therefore, this is the best opportunity for him to show his loyalty to the Queen Mother. "The Queen Mother, the slave protects the Queen Mother." He shouted and rushed out of the crowd, intending to stand in front of the Queen Mother.

People. Sometimes it's better to be stupid. Or that he is not smart enough, the current situation is that the emperor and the queen mother have become fire and water, and the queen mother even said that she wants to abolish Guangxu, to be honest, even if Guangxu does something, it is reasonable. You are going to abolish me, the emperor, and I said it in the past before I died. After all, for the sake of the throne has been killing since ancient times.

Yang Dong's hand shook again, and the muzzle fire flashed again. This shot was very accurate, and it hit Zailan's eyebrows. The huge impact of the bullet threw Zailan's upper body backwards, but his feet were still rushing forward and kneeling by inertia. Right in front of the ministers. Zae-lan 'flew' like this, and then slammed into the ground. The bullet had a small hole between the eyebrows, creating a bowl-sized hole in the back of the head. The red and white ones were not only splashed on the ground, but also on the bodies of the surrounding ministers, but also on the faces of some people.

It's not that civil officials don't kill. But they just don't use their mouths. To them, dead people are just a bunch of numbers. They can't see all kinds of misery when people die, all they know is the knife at the entrance of the vegetable market. And now right before their eyes, a man's head was blown up. "Wow", many people vomited on the spot.

When Cixi ordered the slaughter of Su Shun and other eight ministers, she just said a word softly. Now when she watched a man die in front of her, Cixi lost her temper. She cried out heartbreakingly, "Ahhhh Roll, roll. Get out of the mourning family. "Thousands of green silks danced, and Cixi at this moment was so hideous.

Yang Dongzi left with the platoon of soldiers and imperial party officials, Cixi must have been a scheming politician, and she recovered quickly. And at this moment in the main hall, Cixi sat on the dragon chair and looked at the kneeling ministers in the hall. Didn't the emperor say that she could only stay behind the scenes forever? Today she will sit in front of her. Although it is not etiquette. The ministers who did not have a Qingliu faction did not dare to provoke the Queen Mother at this time.

"Empress Dowager Qi, just returned." Shi Duo came out of the class and Chen Zuo: "Most of the Royal Janissary Battalion has already boarded the train at the train station and went to Tianjin with his classmates. The emperor and other guards have all entered Yingtai. Please show the Queen Mother. ”

"Dong Fuxiang, immediately lead troops to surround Yingtai, and no one will be allowed to escape." Cixi stood up. coldly ordered: "Rong Lu, lead the officials of the Nine Gates to arrest all Weng Tongyi, Tang Shaoyi and others." Wait for the autumn to ask for a cut. ”

In Cixi's heart, the common people have no one anymore, because they have no power in their hands. As long as all the officials in the court towards the emperor are killed, she will be able to sit down steadily in this world.

"The Queen Mother can't. The world is initially decided, and appeasement should be the first. "Back then, the killing of Gu Ming's eight ministers didn't have such a big involvement, if this was the case, the world would be in chaos. Therefore, Shi Duo immediately went out and said: "Tang Yishao and his ilk will naturally kill them quickly." However, Weng Tongyi is the emperor and the head of the clear stream. If you kill it, it will chill the hearts of the world's soldiers. In the humble opinion of a slave, it is better to dismiss the official and send him back to his hometown, and never renew it. Please let the Queen Mother know clearly. ”

Cixi, who was dazed, also reacted, but just looked at Shi Duo coldly: "Quasi." ”

In the palace, one by one, the decrees were written down and promulgated.

"So, canonized Pu Jun, the son of Zaiyi, as the eldest brother (prince), and immediately entered the palace. , Xu Tong is a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion and the crown prince, and he entered the palace to teach the eldest brother. ...... "Even though the ministers admonished her, Cixi still did not issue an order to abolish the emperor. She understood that to abolish the establishment at this moment was to give the emperor's descendants an excuse to go to war, and she endured it. She had to wait until she personally dismantled the emperor's army before abolishing it, so she didn't even have the will to reopen the training government. It was only a large number of officials who were appointed to fill the vacancies left by the departure of the imperialist faction.

"Empress Dowager, the emperor sent a decree from Yingtai." Kou Liancai came to the front of the Taihe Hall with the holy decree in his hand and presented it respectfully.

The decree reads: The Imperial Army of the Qing Dynasty was to be disbanded on the spot immediately after completing the exercises; The queen and the second concubine were abolished and expelled from the palace.

Cixi was shocked when she saw the will, and the ministers were also at a loss. The emperor has not stayed in the harem for several years, and after this great change, the abolition of the concubine can be said to leave a way for the concubine to live, and it is uncertain when the emperor will come out when he will go in. At this moment, the queen mother is abolished, and the queen mother always has to reward some.

But the emperor wants to disband the army of the descendants, which is the reason why the queen mother does not dare to abolish the emperor, and it is also the foundation for the emperor to regain power in the future. Could it be that the emperor really accepted his fate like this?

"Empress Dowager." Kou Liancai spoke: "The emperor said that instead of being kicked out in the future, it is not like going out by yourself today to have some face. ”

The anger that Cixi had suppressed rose again: "Accurate." ”

On that day, at the beginning of 1897, the twenty-first year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty, the fifteenth day of the lunar month. The Empress Dowager Cixi brazenly staged a coup d'état less than a year after returning to power in the first year of the First Wu Dynasty and returned to the court to train the government. Because coups tend to kill people on a killing spree, dealing with political opponents all at once. This time, in addition to killing a few people, most of the Empress Dowager Cixi was only dismissed. Therefore, the history of this coup d'état is recorded as: Yiwei Palace Change.
