Tang Haoran didn't sleep well this night, and kept thinking about Li Guangguang's words. Although he studied engineering in the past, he often soaked in historical websites and forums for many years, but he also understood the history of the late Qing Dynasty, and naturally knew the "dispute between the emperor and the queen" after the Guangxu wedding. The post-party represented by Li Hongzhang and others has been "monopolizing" China's foreign affairs for decades, and as for Zhang Zhidong's establishment of foreign affairs in Hubei, it was precisely because he himself was the leader of the "Qingliu" faction that he received the support of Weng Tongyong, and only then did he have the full support of the central government's financial resources in the following years.

And Li Guangguang's construction yì is very pertinent - to devote himself to Weng Tongyi, through Weng Tonggong's recommendation, to gain the emperor's trust, and then seek to be released, and Li Guangguang also analyzed the various possibilities of joining the imperial party one by one, most of the people in the imperial party are Qingliu, these people may have a set of articles, knowledge, but they are half-understood, or even completely incomprehensible, and for many years, foreign affairs have been controlled by the post-party, so that no one is available for the imperial party.

And with the name of "Zhiyang", he became an imperial party at this time, which was the time when strange goods could live. But the only problem is...... With his eyes half-closed, Tang Haoran couldn't help but doubt Li Guangguang's choice, in history, Guangxu was ready to use a lot of people, but how much did he use in the end? How could Guangxu be Cixi's opponent?

Perhaps, for Li Guangguang and Song Yuxin, in their opinion, the emperor will always be the emperor, but Tang Haoran, who knows this period of history, knows that history has long proved that in the battle between the emperor and the queen, Guangxu is just a poor loser, how can an emperor who is even afraid of thunder become his backer, even if it is only a short-term backer?

Is it wise to venture into the battle between the emperor and queen now?

"Five years is enough!"

Tang Haoran comforted himself in his heart, yes, it doesn't matter how Guangxu and Cixi fight, what is the emperor's party and what does it have to do with him? Whether it is the imperial party or the rear party, in the end it is its own enemy, and if it is an enemy, it must be defeated.

I only need five years, five years later, many things will change, with Guangxu as his backer temporarily, if he can release Taiwan, he will be able to lie in Taiwan for five years, and after five years, he can not only keep Taiwan alive, but even be able to ......

Counterattack the mainland!

When this word flashed in Tang Haoran's mind, he couldn't help laughing. More than 200 years ago, didn't Zheng Chenggong also recover Taiwan with such an idea?

The rain outside is dripping, and the roof tiles on the roof are rustling...... Tang Haoran thought of Weng Tongyi again, he was going to visit him tomorrow, what would he use to knock on Weng Changshu's door?

In the past six months, Tang Haoran has woken up with blazing eyes, and all his ambitions have been left behind, just thinking about what to use to knock on the door of Weng Changshu.

Slush?

No, how can they be a "bribe", and now for the "imperial party", what do they need?

Tang Haoran didn't know what they needed, but he knew what they wanted!

Thinking of this, Tang Haoran sat up again, lit the kerosene lamp, and wrote in front of the oil lamp, I don't know how long this article was written, Tang Haoran heard a rooster crowing in the distance, and he had already finished writing this article and examined this article again, the article was just like the past, there was no trace of literary brilliance, if you want to use this article to knock on the door of Weng Tongyi, you still need to polish one or two.

"Leave this matter to Li Guangguang!"

Just like writing the book "Tai Xice", Tang Haoran still needs others to polish his articles, otherwise, he will not be able to enter the eyes of the literati at this time, and naturally he will not be able to enter the eyes of Weng Tongyi.

In the study of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Weng Tongyong, who was wearing a silk robe, looked at the book "Tai Xice" again, and the reason why he looked at this book was not because of anything else, but because of the person who wrote the book.

"Tang Ziran!"

Talking about this name, Weng Tongxiao's mood was complicated, this person was the curtain of Zhang Zhidong, and won Zhang Zhidong's credit, but later because of the change in the court, he was transferred to the Prime Minister's Yamen by King Gong and Li Hongzhang, and fell into the Tongwen Pavilion like that Zeng Jize, but Weng Tonggong did not like that Zeng Ji Ze to him, and tried every possible way to trap him in the Tongwen Museum.

This will look at his book again, Weng Tongyi is born a sense of condescension, the reason is also simple - in a certain Cheng dù, he is a member of the imperial party, before he came to Beijing, Zhang Xiangtao had a cronies and himself, saying that this son has the talent of the world, but he has an upright personality, let himself take care of one or two in Beijing, as for why he was let come to Beijing, although the letter did not mention it, but Weng Tongyi can faintly guess one or two, maybe related to the smoking ban.

"It seems that this son still needs to be honed a thing or two!"

With a long sigh, Weng Tonggong put this "Tai Xi Ce" on the bookcase, in addition to the classics of Chinese culture on his bookcase, there are other kinds of foreign books, as the emperor, in recent years, he one day to the emperor but founded foreign affairs, and to the emperor recommended to the emperor "Yongshu", "Taixi New History Essentials", "School Lu Protest" and other books on foreign studies and even the law, and "School Lu Protest" in the elimination of redundant members, Xu Zizhen, provincial regulations, reform of the imperial examination, Cai Xi Xue, Shannu Yi and other six records into a book sent to the emperor.

And this popular "Tai Xice" is no exception, and it has been presented to the emperor as early as a year ago. Thinking that Tang Haoran had been in Beijing for three months, but he still hadn't visited him, Weng Tongyi's heart was somewhat dissatisfied.

Just then, a family member whispered outside the door.

"Master, there is a guest who took the post of Lord Zhang, the governor of Huguang, and submitted an article!"

"Zhang Xiangtao's post?"

After receiving the posts and articles handed by the servant, Weng Tongyi was stunned.

"Submit an article?"

Scholars submit books, as the emperor of the two dynasties, Weng Tongyi is naturally not a stranger, every time there will be scholars to submit letters to the Minister of Military Aircraft or the door of the Ministry of Books, in order to be appreciated, even if they fall off the list, they may also be able to get their favor, or enter the shogunate, or be recommended by others, so as to rise to the top, "from the curtain and the official" is the "bad example" opened by Zeng Guofan.

However, although it is a "bad example", it does not mean that there are no talents among those people, so Weng Tongyi does not reject the scholar's submission, not to mention that if it attracts talents, wouldn't it be wonderful to get the name of "sitting teacher"?

However, the people who have always submitted books, but they have never held the post of the feudal officials like this to submit a book, who wrote this article, as soon as the article was displayed, Weng Tongyi was stunned, only to see that it was written.

"Oriental Political Reform"

Okay!

This article is different from others, "Oriental Political Examination"? Let's take a look at the author - Tang Haoran!

These three words made Weng Tongyi's brows raise slightly, this is the article he wrote? Why is that? Thinking that it was an article written by Tang Ziran, Weng Tongyi immediately flipped through the article. Although Huang Zunxian once wrote the book "National Chronicles of Japan", he has never read it for Yu Weng Tongyong. However, in Tang Haoran's "Tai Xi Ce", he admired the Japanese reform and reform, but let him take a look at it by the way, and unlike the supplement in "Tai Xi Ce", the beginning of this "Oriental Political Examination" said that Perry's fleet opened the country, and then wrote down all the domestic affairs in Japan on paper one by one, what shogunate was in power, and what monarchy was in power.

"Respect the Emperor!"

When he saw these four words, Weng Tongyi's brows couldn't help but raise lightly, different from the Oriental Addendum of "Tai Xice", in the addendum, Tang Haoran only briefly introduced the maintenance of Japan's reform of the law, as for the Emperor's refuge is just a passing mention, but in this article, it details how the Shogunate, the Shogunate Sect and the Emperor who has been only a hypocrite for thousands of years have made the Shogunate Sect use, and then restore the authority of the Emperor, so that the Meiji government can maintain it after the collapse of the shogunate.

Although this article seems to be written "Oriental Change", but it is only for a moment, Weng Tonggong interconnected this "Emperor Zun" with the current situation of the country, and his brows suddenly furrowed and said slightly angrily.

"This son is hateful, he dares to ......"

Originally, I wanted to say that he was good at talking about the affairs of the heavenly family, Weng Tong's words came to his mouth or took it back, as the emperor, he has no son, his feelings for Guangxu can be described as extremely complicated, it can be said that he is also a disciple and a son, and what he did is naturally for the emperor, from secretly planning the queen mother's return to government a few years ago, to support foreign affairs, and even preaching the way of changing the law to the emperor, all for the emperor, to be precise, in order not to fall into the monarchy, but now, even if the queen mother has returned to power on the surface, but the queen mother has accumulated power for decades, If not, how can there be the current dispute between the emperor and the queen, and what is fighting is also for the court and for the Qing Dynasty.

At this time, the emperor was facing a situation that was much better than that of the Meiji era?

Picking up this article again, Weng Tonggong calmed down and looked at it carefully, nodding in agreement from time to time, and after reading the article that was more than ten pages thick, Weng Tonggong couldn't help but sigh.

"This Meiji is indeed a generation of strong monarchs, with such monarchs, can the East be strong!"

While sighing, he thought of the student who he regarded as a half-child, compared to ...... Frowning, looking at the article he had just finished reading in front of him, he even had a huge sense of loss in comparison, and then thought of the situation where the emperor is now, and how similar it is to the beginning of the Meiji succession, although there is no Tokugawa in China, but there are places, such as Li Hefei and others, all take the queen mother as their aid, as for the emperor's side...... Thinking of this, Weng Tong's tightly knit brows couldn't be opened for a while. (A good event for pie in the sky, cool mobile phones are waiting for you!)
