Although the nickname "Xiao Qinxian" is short, it can be regarded as an affirmation of Cixi's life. Cixi nodded and said softly: "Auntie is not good, it will be up to the emperor in the future." The emperor has great ambitions, more courage, and is stronger than his aunt. Seeing that you can handle the government under control, my aunt is also relieved. My aunt is also right, the ancestors of the Xinjue Luo family. ”

Guangxu just nodded and didn't say anything, Cixi was really old-fashioned just now. Cixi gasped for a while to regather her strength, and then continued: "Although the Han people are talented, they should not be reused. Otherwise, I'm afraid that in the future, I will have nothing to do with our people. ”

"You, you're always thinking about being full of people. But you have thought about how many people are Manchurian and how many Han people there are. Now that the Qing Dynasty is worried about internal and external troubles, and it has to tie its own hands and feet, so the foreigners will overthrow the court without the Han people coming forward. ”

"Foreigners always have one to go, and this time it is always Han Chinese. At that time, Emperor Shizu had passed, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty originally intended to establish a country outside the Guan, and it was a blessing to be able to enter the Central Plains. Originally, there was a retreat from the outside world, but now that Russia is aggressive and stronger, cutting off the birthplace of our Manchurians, there is no way for our Manchus to retreat, and if we don't defend this Central Plains, I'm afraid that we will really die——"

"If you want to kill me, then die. Among the people, there is only my aunt who can support this, and now I am afraid that only I am left. But auntie, look at this, is there any useful one in this manchurian person? Sedor? The prosperous era can still be continued with him, but now that the troubled times are in power, he is too far behind. But if a nation really wants to keep its own subordination, in addition to the emperor, it also needs the help of a large number of people of insight. 40 years, I will hold for another 40 years at most, and after 40 years, if the people are full, they will not be able to produce a large number of talents. Now let's return it to the Han people. The Han people are a benevolent race, and it may be for the sake of the Manchus who took the initiative to return their subordinates to the Han people. Preferential treatment of the Manchu people and preferential treatment of the Manchu royal family. ”

"Auntie can't wait for that one, if it really arrives. As long as the emperor thinks it is appropriate, he will do it. Auntie, as long as you remember that you are full, it's fine. ”

Guangxu laughed miserably: "There are too few Manchus and too many Han people, but what I have to do is that the Manchu emperors are clever, although I still think that they can't do it in strengthening the country, but I have to admire their clever means of ruling the hearts of the people." Using and tampering with Han Confucianism, tampering with the already clear history, in order to achieve the goal of ruling the Han people. This hand is so high that I don't dare to look at the historical materials hidden in the palace. I want to study hard, and I will let the ministers learn in the future. There is always a Chinese nation that will use it. Guangxu spoke, but his eyes showed great expectation.

Yes, the Han people under the Manchu rule are humble, because the Manchus have truly grasped the roots of Han thought. Starting from the roots, there is nothing unsuccessful. History is like a mirror, and learning history knows the present. Guangxu really hopes that a strong China can really look for and explore how a strong China should lead the world from the fact that the Manchus entered the customs. There is no hope for the future generation, so let Guangxu work hard in the world.

"Why does the emperor always speak a Chinese nation, but what about the Manchurians? What's going on? Cixi worked hard to raise her words. She had to ask clearly, or she wouldn't be blind even if she died.

"Again, the next is the next person. Similarly, this is not only the Manchu people, but also the Han people. It's the Mongols, and it's the subordinates. Of course, there must be a leader here. But in fact, only Han people are really qualified to rule. Don't be skeptical. Since the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the once invincible Manchu Eight Banners cavalry had no combat power when they saw the Central Plains Flower World. It is still the Han Green Battalion that really fights this. More than 200 years have passed, and seven of the eight governors of the Qing Dynasty have been Han Chinese. The other one is not full of people. In addition to the throne in the city of Beijing, the Manchurians are nothing more. In fact, the Han people have already mastered it. However, the Han people are always not united. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, if it weren't for the rebellion of the three kings in Jiangnan, I am afraid that the Manchurians would have returned to their hometown long ago. The Manchurian court where my aunt can support her left and right is also very tired. This is the general trend, world nationalism has risen, don't ask what nationalism is, what my aunt does is nationalism. It's just that the Han people don't break out, but once they break out, no one will be able to stop them, and neither can the foreigners. (Author's note: As a Han person, it is really heart-wrenching to use the identity of a Manchurian to say these words, but they are really the author's heart.) Because I always believe that if there is a really strong and far-sighted government, the world will tremble under the feet of the Han people. I am certain that I am not the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and I am the penultimate one. Auntie, don't think about it. ”

"Your Majesty, are you the emperor of the Manchus or the emperor of the Han people?" Cixi burst into tears.

"I am the emperor of this man first, and then I will be the emperor of the Manchurian people. As long as I don't die, this order will not change. ”

Guangxu was very resolute, and Cixi turned her head when she saw that Guangxu was not moved.

"If a nation wants to last for a long time, it must fight for its own strength. It's not just one or two people. The Han people have had ups and downs for thousands of years, because most of the Han people are very hard-working. But what about the full people? Like garbage, food is wasted. Guangxu saw that Cixi turned her head away and didn't say anything, so she clapped her hands and stood up: "Okay, Aunt Jin is up to remind me to remember that I am a man." Auntie, don't worry, I can't forget it. Auntie has nothing else to say? ”

Cixi turned her head at this time: "As long as the emperor sees the ancestors and ancestors under the nine springs, don't be ashamed." ”

A soul after a hundred years lives on the body of a hundred years ago, who will he see after death, I am afraid that Lord Yama will also have a headache. Guangxu smiled dumbly: "If my aunt doesn't have anything else to say, then it's my nephew." ”

Cixi was most worried about the Han people, but the emperor had his own opinions, and she couldn't do anything. It's time to hand it over to the emperor, and she has nothing to worry about anymore. Cixi nodded, but suddenly said: "The emperor married a concubine earlier, and gave birth to a dragon heir earlier." ”

"It's going to be soon, if you live another year, you'll be able to see the emperor's grandson. How? Want to see what your grandchildren look like? ”

Cixi's eyes lit up: "Willow eyebrows are absolutely not." Does the emperor have other candidates? ”

Guangxu Cixi wanted to struggle to get up, so she hurriedly stepped forward to help Cixi up and put a pillow on Cixi's back. He hurriedly picked up the ginseng soup and whipped it cold, and fed it to Cixi to drink. But. Guangxu is still fed everywhere. Seeing Guangxu's anxiety that he couldn't clean up left and right in a panic, a warm current welled up in Cixi's heart. Really comfortable.

"Which family is the emperor bringing into the palace to let my aunt see?"

Guangxu put down the ginseng soup but became gloomy again: "Liu Mei has been transferred to the staff headquarters. It's just that the queen hasn't been found yet. But soon. In fact, it doesn't matter who my queen is, what matters is what kind of person she should be. ”

"What does the emperor think should be?"

"She should be a Han girl, and the eldest son she gave birth to with me should be the crown prince and the future emperor."

"Is there a law?"

"As early as when my aunt was in power, from Zuo Zhongtang's Hunan army to Li Hongzhang's Beiyang, the Han people had actually mastered the main forces of the imperial court. Today's Han people of the Guangxu Dynasty have mastered almost all of the country's military and economy. And the Manchurians, except for the punishment department of the priests, there is nothing else. But we still have a chance. The people who followed me along the way actually controlled the military and the economy, and they had real but no power. Li Hongzhang is the prime minister, and all kinds of talents from the original Westernization faction are also in high positions in the court because of their rich experience. But there is no real power. Don't look at the criminal department of this world, it seems to be insignificant, but there are no rules, and the criminal department happens to be in charge of these rules. The Guangxu Dynasty will have no problem in a short time, but the Han people will play a decisive role in the development of the country. At this time, if I marry a Han girl as the emperor and set up his son as the crown prince, and the prince will also marry the Han girl as the queen in the future, will the Han people still oppose the royal family? What will happen to the Manchurians in the future depends on their own performance, and I have at least kept the bloodline of Aisin Jueluo in doing so. What does my aunt think? ”

Cixi was silent for a long time, but still nodded: "Manchu people are really not as good as one generation." But finally came up with a holy lord like the emperor. The emperor is in charge. I just hope that the emperor can find the queen as soon as possible and bring it to my aunt to see. ”

Guangxu seemed to be relieved, and happily picked up an apple and took a bite: "If my aunt doesn't object, then let's do it first." Auntie, don't pretend to be sick. If you are not sick, get up early and go out for a walk, otherwise you will really get sick after lying down for a long time. ”

"My aunt is like this, the emperor is still talking coldly, could it be that the emperor came to entertain and mourn the family?"

Cixi was angry. But Guangxu didn't. Guangxu continued casually: "If my aunt is sick, it will be a cold at most, and she has already recovered." At least my aunt's body is not sick. It's my aunt's heart that is really sick. Heart disease requires heart medicine. And I brought a recipe with me this time. It's called what happens if I die. ”

"Auntie listens."

"My aunt also heard about the assassination on my trip to Guangzhou. If I hadn't found a stand-in, the gun on the yellow granite would have killed me. If my aunt is gone. And I died suddenly, so no one in this world has the authority to maintain the Qing Dynasty in this chaos. Even if I have an heir, who will listen to a baby emperor who doesn't understand anything. My new army, Li Hongzhang and other Westernists and Manchus will fall against each other, and the situation will collapse immediately, and the governors of various places will support their own troops and respect themselves. So you can't die, you have to leave a back hand for the sake of the country, just like the emperor wants to set up a prince. At least you can't die until the prince is 18 years old and can administer. What about you? ”

It is true that in 1908, the Empress Dowager Cixi introduced a constitutional monarchy for the first time in Chinese history and laid out a nine-year timetable: 1909 for the election of the Provincial Consultative Bureau; In 1910, the Institute was opened; In 1917, the National Assembly was convened and constitutional government was implemented. If we follow this timetable step by step, within 10 years, China will become a constitutional monarchy like Japan and the United Kingdom, with the monarch only a symbol of the country, the legislative power in the Diet, the executive power in the cabinet, and the judicial power in the courts at all levels, and the dawn of democratic constitutional government will once again come to China. If it weren't for the Empress Dowager Cixi's big pace of reform, the persecution and subversion of domestic and foreign forces, the year after the timetable was announced, she died suddenly, the supreme authority was suddenly lost, the Qing court was leaderless, the provincial governors supported the army and respected themselves, and the constitutional timetable was suspended, otherwise today's China is probably not the current political system. Look at the history of Guangxu and Cixi just after they died, and the whole of China fell into a leaderless war.

It's just that Guangxu still hasn't said a word, a woman who regards rights as her life, and after losing her rights, the fire of her life began to be extinguished. She also always had an idea before, when Cixi handed over all her hands, the last bit of spark was completely extinguished. Guangxu really didn't want Cixi to die, because among these people, the only person who could provide constructive advice to Guangxu without estimating was Cixi. After all, Guangxu's political experience is still too short.

Cixi smiled, smiling very happily: "The emperor just won't serve people, this pillow is holding my aunt's back." When Guangxu heard this, he immediately stepped forward to support Cixi and arrange the pillow for her. Cixi shook her head: "Let's let the maid come." ”

Outside the door, Cihui and the others waited anxiously. The door finally opened, and Cihui walked in quickly, but what she saw was Cixi smiling sweetly.

No one knows what happened to Guangxu and Cixi, but Cixi was about to die, but Cixi was in good spirits again. Cooperate with taking medicine and examination. After a month, Cixi was already able to walk slowly a few steps with the help of others. Another half a month has passed, and Cixi has returned to her pre-illness state. But from this point on, Guangxu was unlucky. Cixi energetically began to find the queen for Guangxu, and Cihui fully cooperated with this. The strength and scope are so great that Guangxu wants to run away.

In April, Beijing is full of spring breeze, and everywhere is green and vibrant. Since Shi Duo was reprimanded by Cixi in court for resenting the emperor, the imperial court has also entered an extremely stable era because of the reconciliation between the Empress Dowager and the emperor. Under the leadership of the emperor and with the full cooperation of the Empress Dowager of the West, the eight major departments devoted themselves to the construction of the country, and the state administration, finance, and military affairs were extremely smooth. The imperial court can finally concentrate on doing great things. And at this time, as the prime minister, Li Hongzhang's heart seemed to fall into an ice cave.

Since the emperor confiscated the Hubei Governor and removed him from his post as Governor of Huguang at the end of last year, although he reappointed the Governor of Hubei, the post of Governor of Huguang has been denied by the Emperor, and the post of Governor of Huguang has been vacant for five months, and all the affairs of the two places have been submitted to the Prime Minister's Office for ruling. At today's court meeting, Sun Jianai, the secretary of the ministry, asked the emperor to appoint the governor of Huguang as soon as possible, and provided four people for the emperor to choose. But before Sun Jianai could find out who these four people were, the emperor reprimanded him without explanation. Sun Jianai only defended a few words, and the emperor said that he was going to fire Sun Jianai. Weng Tong, who was also the emperor's teacher, couldn't look past it, and went out to persuade the emperor to guard against arrogance and rashness, and open up his speech...... But before he thought about it, the angry emperor was going to fight on the spot.

In the end, the screams of Weng Tonggong being beaten by the court finally woke up the emperor, and the emperor hurriedly stopped the execution, and apologized to Sun Weng and the ministers on the spot. But the emperor's red eyes and heavy panting sound in the rage made Li Hongzhang, who was standing at the head of the class, look in his eyes and listen to it in his heart.

The emperor is a good emperor, he has strong self-control, and he is never arrogant and extravagant. The emperor is a benevolent emperor, he is always unwilling to kill people and establish authority, and he always treats the queen mother and the party members who can use it, and if they can't use it, they are only arranged from afar. But he must be the emperor after all, he has great ambitions, and the strong army and rich country do not come out, it is to be done through one killing after another. No matter who it is, there must be a devouring devil hidden behind the great ambition in his heart.

Li Hongzhang also thought of a way to deliberately exaggerate the claims of several officials who were already seriously corrupt and presented them to the emperor, as well as the whole family of the dignitaries who were full of righteous indignation. just wanted the emperor to vent the violence in his heart by killing, but the emperor chose to let their family go. It is a blessing for the ministers to have a benevolent son, but the more this is the case, the more the violent anger in the emperor's heart cannot be vented.

can't go on like this, Li Hongzhang is less and less optimistic about the emperor's self-control. Now Weng Tong's punishment is the first time that the emperor can't suppress the anger in his heart, and there will be a second, third, and countless times with the first time, until the benevolent king in front of him becomes a cruel and murderous emperor. To be continued
