Chapter 132 The Day That Decided Your Fate (Part I) (Ask for a Monthly Pass!) Read! ）

"May 27, 1905, was a fateful day for Asia!"

Decide the fate of the day!

Observers of various countries who are following the situation in Asia may not know anything about it, but on this day, for the Japanese high-level, they understand that the fate of the empire will depend on this day, and when the nerves in Tokyo begin to crumble at about 5 o'clock in the morning, Nanjing, a thousand kilometers away, may be the same fateful day in the eyes of some.

Or rather, not in the eyes of some, but in the eyes of almost all those who care about Chinese politics, there is a choice to be made today as to what the fate and future of the empire will be.

A multiple-choice question, a choice for the future, one side has made a choice, and the other side is making a choice.

At the foot of the Purple Mountain, in addition to a row of university campuses, there is also a building, no, it should be said that it is a building complex, a building complex that accompanies the Imperial Martyrs' Shrine. Unlike anywhere else, the Imperial Flag, a red flag, is raised and lowered, and this flag seems to remind people that this is a royal property, but this is not a royal garden. However, the beautiful Chinese buildings hidden in the trees can make people feel the peace and tranquility here.

The scenery is beautiful, and there is even a small lake in the middle of the complex, so it is natural that almost everyone wants to move here, but this is not something that others can live in if they want to, because living here is a "privilege" for some people.

Imperial Invalides!

A bronze nameplate at the entrance of the Great Mén shows the true intention of this sprawling complex, and inside the Great Mén, on a stone base of Mount Tai, a statue of a resolute soldier stands, but the resolute soldier does not maintain a standing or charging posture, but sits in a wheelchair, and he loses his double tuǐ.

"To place here the soldiers who defended their king with their lives and blood, and let them spend the rest of their lives in peace and quiet......

On the stone base of Mount Tai in black sè, the inscription written by His Majesty himself is made of brass and embedded in the stone, which is the Imperial Invalides, which is the welfare home established by His Majesty the Emperor on the outskirts of Nanjing to house the disabled soldiers in his army, and now nearly 5,000 disabled soldiers live here.

In the Imperial Invalids Hospital, every disabled soldier has been taken care of, there are full-time nurses to take care of them, every corner of the building reflects the care for the disabled soldiers, barrier-free steps, corridors, toilets, and disabled soldiers who have been freed by death have their homes here.

On the table tennis court under the shade of the trees, the invalids soldiers waving their empty sleeves play table tennis, or sit in wheelchairs and chat, and some are "walking" in the Invalides under the promotion of nurses, where there will be no discrimination against them, and they do not need to worry about food and clothing, and the soldiers who have paid for the country are taken care of here in the best and most meticulous way.

The Imperial Invalides Hospital is not only a place for disabled soldiers, but also a hospital, where most of the seriously wounded of the army will eventually be sent here from various front-line hospitals to be treated, and at this time, in a large ward full of seriously wounded, dozens of chuáng bunks are lying wounded covered in bandages, many of whom are wounded Guards transferred from hospitals in Beiping and Tianjin in recent days, and the air is filled with the smell of disinfectant water and wine.

At this time, most of the eyes of these wounded people turned a figure, a foreigner in a nurse's uniform, but when they looked at her, there was no resistance in their eyes, some were just feelings and reverence, especially when she carefully changed the bandages for the wounded soldiers and comforted the wounded soldiers with a smile, in an instant, almost everyone felt that maybe it was worth dying.

"That's it!"

After changing the bandages for the wounded soldier and looking at the sweaty appearance of the wounded soldier who endured the pain and did not let out the pain, Ji Li smiled apologetically, and then wiped the sweat from the wounded soldier's forehead with máo.

"Thank you...... Thank you, Your ...... No, Nurse Chan ......"

The wounded soldier, who had lost his right arm, struggled to stand up and thank the queen, but was pressed down by Ji Li.

"You know, you want to take care of your injuries?"

The soldiers looked at the queen, they knew that the queen would come here every other day, she did not come here to condole, but as a nurse to help them, a month, she had twenty days in the army hospital and the Invalides to treat the wounded, in the past they were sincerely afraid to watch the queen check her wounds and change the bandages, although now they have adapted to this "queen nurse", but the feeling in their hearts is indescribable, the most ordinary soldiers can be healed by the queen, which no one has ever thought. ,

"I am willing to die for His Majesty and the Queen!"

Almost every wounded soldier who witnessed the queen treating the wounded, looking at the queen who seemed to be no different from an ordinary nurse, would have such a thought in his heart.

"Hoo ......"

After changing the bandages for the last wounded soldier and leaving the ward, Ji Li, who was covered in sweat, let out a sigh of relief, and when she saw the wounded coming in the corridor, a smile appeared on her face again, in exchange for the reverence of the wounded.

In a way, she didn't like to go to the Army Hospital or the Invalides, she didn't like to face the wounded, but she knew that this might be the only thing she could do for her husband, to heal the soldiers who had paid for him and his country, to soothe their pain with the sound of the piano.

There have been some people who have accused themselves of acting, but ...... Turning her head to look at the wounded, Ji Li's expression darkened, could it be that when they said those words, they didn't know that entering the hospital to serve as a nurse in wartime was the responsibility of the families of nobles and officials?

"I've seen the Queen!"

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from beside him, and when he turned his head, Ji Li's eyes opened, it was him! Yang Du.

"There is no queen here, only nurses!"

As he spoke, Ji Liren walked towards the outside of the building, while Yang Du slowly followed behind.

"The Senate has passed the "Domestic Product Guidelines"!"

Yang Du's words were not big, but they seemed to explode in Ji Li's ears, and they passed, and the time to come is finally coming.

Seeing that the queen was still silent, Yang Du continued.

"In the afternoon, the Senate will pass a resolution to reject the renewal of the Treaty on the Restriction of Chinese Workers in the United States!"

While saying this, Yang Du, who hung his head slightly, raised his eyes and carefully observed the queen's expression in order to get some information from her expression, but to his disappointment, the queen didn't seem to show any emotion.

"Mr. Yang!"

Breaking the silence, Kiri stopped and looked at the disabled invalids basking in the sun on the lawn.

"Power is earned, not relied on the handouts of others!"

The queen's words shocked Yang Du's heart, could it be ......

"These soldiers paid the price for victory in the war, and they will also ...... when they fight for power Are you willing to face all this? ”

Hanging his head, Yang Du didn't speak, but this set off a storm in his heart, which ...... What did the queen mean by saying this? Don't?

The Empress and Her Majesty are at odds on some issues? No, although there is no news from the palace, Yang Du knows that His Majesty and the Empress are husbands, and the closeness of the two is by no means comparable to other couples, but ......

Could it be that His Majesty wants to send a signal through the Queen? Or rather......

"We have to achieve the constitution step by step, and we can even go through some training ......"

Training! Thinking of His Majesty's words, Yang Du even suddenly had an illusion in his heart, as if the reason why His Majesty has not expressed his position so far is, to a certain extent, to let the big guy understand a truth, power is to be fought for.

"If you don't exercise your power, then power is a piece of waste paper!"

"Power, civil rights need to be maintained, but if the people don't take the initiative to defend civil rights, who cares about civil rights!"

His Majesty's words kept coming back to Yang Du's mind again and again, linking the attitudes he had expressed in some of his conversations in the past, and Yang Du suddenly discovered a place that he had been ignoring in the past.

His Majesty wants to see the Senate fight for power! Or rather, fight for the part of the power that belongs to the Council in the first place!

Although this discovery made Yang Du's heart jump, there was still a question in his heart, if His Majesty really intended to see the Senate fighting for power against him, why would he ......

But if His Majesty did not have this will, how could the Empress convey this meaning to herself?

A few minutes later, after Yang Du, who was still full of doubts in her heart, left the Invalides, Ji Li, who had already strolled to the lake, looked at the small lake in front of her, and tears slid down her cheeks, she didn't know if she was right or wrong to do this, but she knew that if she didn't do something and let her husband go his own way, maybe one day......

"You said you wanted to see people fight for their power, for their freedom, and if they did, what would you do?"

Thinking in her heart, Ji Li wiped away the tears from her cheeks, looked at Xiaohu, she smiled bitterly, she knew what she should do, as a queen, she must fulfill her responsibilities to love the people here, and at the same time she must do everything she can to try, and strive to make sure that the people here will not abandon Xianggong one day.

Thinking that if Xianggong insisted on going his own way and blindly lost power, maybe one day he would really be abandoned by the people, just like the people abandoned the Manchus, Ji Li couldn't help but say in her heart.

"You know, you know all this, but why do you ......"
