"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor, the emperor's great cause can be accomplished!"

In a side hall of the palace, there was a person who excitedly congratulated Emperor Guangxu again and again, obviously with very good news to him. And Guangxu was also excited when he heard this voice, because he was very familiar with this voice, so he wanted to get good news from his mouth very much.

"Kang Aiqing, did he agree?" Guangxu asked.

This man is Kang Youwei, he returned to Beijing, and took the initiative to congratulate Emperor Guangxu on the news of persuading Wang Guorui to support the change, which made Guangxu feel very excited. Because he always wanted to regain power, but the old lady Cixi didn't give him this opportunity at all. And he also thought of changing the law and reforming, and then changed the law through guò to get the change and regain the imperial power. As for anything else about constitutional monarchy, democracy and the like, he didn't think it was a fart at all. He just wanted a chance to reclaim his power, and for no other reason.

However, in China, although there are some enlightened officials, it does not mean that those officials are willing to overthrow the country completely and carry out reforms. They are just willing to reform and then carry out reforms that are in their interests and do not harm them too much. As for overthrowing the old system altogether and re-establishing a new one, that's not what they want. So no one in China wants to support the reform of the law, and if you can't change the law, you can't take back your rights.

And in this case, Guangxu needs a strong foreign aid. The governors in the court were not very strong, and they were unwilling to support him to change the law. So he also set his sights on Wang Guorui, the new governor of Taiwan, and Wang Guorui is not a rear party, nor is he a vested interest in the mainland, and he is strong and not a weak chicken. So Guangxu set his sights on him. I hope Wang Guorui can support him to change the law, even if it is just support, it is very good.

"At what cost did you convince him?" Guangxu asked.

If you pay too much price, then Guangxu will also be heartbroken, so Guangxu is very concerned about what price he has paid.

"Nothing, it's just that the little girl became his concubine. However, he can serve the emperor. That's the little girl's honor. Kang Youwei said.

Guangxu breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't expect that things would be so easy to solve, and a woman would solve them. He didn't expect Wang Guorui to be a womanizer, and he would support himself for a woman.

"Kang Aiqing, since you have even paid for my daughter, I will never fail you!" Guangxu said.

And Kang Youwei is grateful, obviously he has great expectations for his future prospects, and he can make himself feel promising. Isn't this the work of a high-ranking official, and Lelu will enjoy it?

It was less than 12 hours before Kang Youwei returned to Beijing. Emperor Guangxu also promulgated the "Edict on the Restoration of the State", which was more than a year earlier than the original promulgation of this edict in history.

"Over the past few years, Chinese and foreign ministers have paid attention to current affairs, and many masters have changed the law and become self-reliant. ……”

The telegram of the edict was quickly transmitted to the whole country, and this edict made many reform parties suddenly boil.

"Long live the emperor!" "Long live the emperor!" "Long live the emperor!" ……

Countless reform parties across the country also began to chant, apparently to celebrate the beginning of the reform of the Qing Dynasty. And Wang Guorui's success in resisting Japan made many people think that there was something wrong with the bigwigs in the imperial court. Therefore, it is their incompetence that will make the court lose in the hands of a small widow. By this time, many of them believed that China was stronger than Japan. After all, Wang Guorui can defeat them in every province, so it should be that China is stronger than the Japanese Kou. And the reason why they will lose is because the country is a group of incompetent people, all because the army is corrupt, and all because of the corruption and backwardness of various systems. And they all want to use this change to achieve their own interests, and then allow themselves to gain power. Then step on the body of those "incompetent" to gain power. And many of the Restoration Party are also a group of opportunists, even their big leader, Emperor Guangxu, hopes to regain power through this speculation, and then let himself really feel what it is like to be an emperor.

"I, the Qing Dynasty, must reform the old system, otherwise our Qing Dynasty will not be able to revive at all. And countless mediocre bureaucrats in the imperial court are occupying official positions, and we must ask the emperor to re-establish a new system of electing officials. Then a number of good officials were re-elected. All unqualified officials will be dismissed. ”

"We in the Qing Dynasty must train strong soldiers, otherwise we won't even be able to defeat the Japanese invaders. Our Qing Dynasty is in a state of military equip, and we must train strong soldiers to defend our Qing Dynasty, otherwise we will not be a country! ”

"Yes! We also need to develop the industry of all kinds of industries and make the industry strong, so that we can make our country rich and the people strong! ”

With the implementation of this edict, countless Restoration parties also began to wander the streets, apparently trying to sell their own political ideas. And with the emperor's order, it seems that the whole world has begun to change the law vigorously, and countless young people are very excited about these changes, because they think that if they can do well this time, they may be able to have an official after helping the emperor regain his power, and then he will really be glorious. And at that time, he can get a lot of benefits, and he can completely achieve high-ranking officials.

That's what they think, and few of them understand what the industry, the army, is all about. In the eyes of those scholars, the craftsmen are just ordinary pariahs, and those armies are also a group of Qiu Ba, how can they be compared with themselves who are scholars? As for those strong industries and training elite soldiers, it is just a method for them to make political capital, and there is not much they really want to do well. They think that as long as they throw out this gimmick, it can completely attract popularity. And years of stubborn thinking are not so easy to solve, after all, except for a small number of people who participated in the reform of the law, the others are those young Confucian students. And those things that Confucianism has studied for many years are all discriminatory against soldiers and workers and businessmen, so they are just used as gimmicks, and they don't really want to do it well. Their real purpose is to take advantage of this opportunity to gain political capital and official positions, and then glorify their ancestors.

And in the Summer Palace, there were reports about the outside to Cixi.

"Queen Mother Lafayette, the world has been in chaos in the past two days, and those reform parties seem to have gotten the emperor's backers, and they have risen up to make trouble. And they said that they wanted a constitutional monarchy, that they wanted to lay off officials, and that they wanted to train strong soldiers. There are also ......" Li Lianying is explaining one by one.

"Okay, okay, that's just a rehash of the same old tune. What kind of constitutional monarchy, isn't it that the Han people want to regain power and regain our Manchurian country? It is also called a constitutional monarchy! Hmph, if once the monarchy is constitutional, then we will all be counterattacked by those powerful ministers, then I am afraid that we will all be destroyed at that time! We love the Xinjue Luo family, but we had a lot of blood debts to the Han people back then, once we give up our rights, will they still be willing to let us go? Constitutional monarchy, that's the way to death. And the mourning family has long known that the emperor does not really want to change the law, but just wants to regain power. ”

Cixi has been an old fritter for many years, so she can naturally see that Guangxu doesn't really want to change the law, or that he doesn't subconsciously want to change the law. He just wanted to regain power through guò changes, and he was able to lead the changes and finally become a generation of emperors. However, Cixi was not optimistic about Guangxu, and this was not simply because of the hostility between the Hou Party and the Imperial Party. Because Cixi has already seen the world, this is not something that a certain emperor can order to solve, especially the Manchu emperor is unlikely to be able to solve this problem.

"Queen Mother, these are just some clowns who jump off the beam, they don't have any military power in their hands, and they don't have any strength to support them. They're just jumping up and down, and they don't really have any real skills. And now the major governors in the world have not expressed their attitude, they have not expressed their attitude. None of the eight governors in the world supported them, so we have set the general trend, and we don't need to be afraid of any of those clowns. Li Lianying said.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty currently had eight governors, responsible for managing the country's eight territories, and these governors can be said to be local powerful factions, and in the deformed political ecology of the late Qing Dynasty, the local powerful factions were more powerful than the central military ministers. So as long as there is no one in the local powerful faction to support those reformers, then this can be reassured.

As for Taiwan, Li Lianying ignored it intentionally or unintentionally. Because Taiwan, a special administrative region, was like an independent kingdom in the late Qing Dynasty, and Taiwan was not a legal establishment in the Manchu Qing Dynasty at all, Li Lianying also subconsciously ignored Taiwan. Moreover, they also agreed that the local central government could not send officials to Taiwan to serve in Taiwan, and Taiwan was also a taboo in the imperial court, and few people would mention it. And they don't take Taiwan seriously, after all, in their eyes, Taiwan is only nominally their own territory. A special administrative region like Taiwan was already a blatant rebellion for officials in ancient times, so it was natural not to take them seriously.

"Queen Mother, no, Taiwan's Governor Wang Guorui announced his support for the imperial court's reform of the law!" Someone hurriedly came over to report it.

"What?" "Smack!"

The teacup of the precious cultural relics in Cixi's hand fell to the ground, and it was obvious that Cixi was also shocked by the news. (To be continued......)
