In the Xinuan Pavilion of the Forbidden City, Lin Daxin, who had just entered the city of Beijing, came here and met the Empress Dowager Cixi, the master of the Manchu court, the Guangxu Emperor and Prince Gong Yixin.

Hearing Lin Daxin's promise not to take their lives, the Empress Dowager Cixi, Emperor Guangxu and Prince Gong Yixin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, these days have been under house arrest in the Xinuan Pavilion, the three of them are normal on the surface, in fact, they have been frightened in their hearts, they are afraid that Lin Daxin will take their lives, after all, the change of dynasty, basically will not leave the people of the royal family of the previous dynasty, after the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the royal family and clan of the Ming Dynasty, but there is absolutely no politeness.

Things have come to this point, and it is impossible for the Manchus to continue to exist, but Lin Daxin is not ready to exterminate the Manchu rulers, first, he thinks of the relationship between the imperial court and the Lin family in Fuzhou for many years, and second, Lin Daxin does not think that the Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu and others will have any threat to him and what waves can be turned over.

Before setting off from Shenyang City, Li Kun, the director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, suggested to Lin Daxin that the people of the Military Intelligence Bureau should do it to create the illusion that the Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu committed suicide, and that there would be no future troubles, but Lin Daxin sternly refused, and warned Li Kun that without his order, the Empress Dowager Cixi and the Guangxu Emperor must not be killed, otherwise Lin Daxin would not spare Li Kun this time.

Li Kun also considered that if Cixi and Guangxu were kept, there should be no danger, after all, they would always live under the supervision of the Military Intelligence Bureau in the future, and if there was any situation, they would have time to deal with it, so they didn't insist anymore and provoke Lin Daxin's unhappiness.

In the Xinuan Pavilion, Lin Daxin continued to the Empress Dowager Cixi, Emperor Guangxu and Prince Gong Yixin: "The three of you still need to live here for a while for the time being. When I find a suitable place for the 3 of them in Beijing, the 3 of them will leave here! What I promise Lin Daxin will definitely do. So don't worry, 3, someone will be against you. ”

The Empress Dowager Cixi said in a deep voice: "The mourning family is already half of the people who have been buried in the earth, and it doesn't matter whether they can leave the mourning family's life or not. The mourning family hopes that after King Dingbei ascends the throne, he will not purge the clan of our Qing Dynasty, so that the descendants of Aixin Jueluo can be ordinary people in the future. ”

Lin Daxin glanced at this woman who had ruled China for almost half a century, nodded and said: "Queen Mother, rest assured, I, Lin Daxin, am not a murderer, and I have no intention of purging the Qing Dynasty, as long as you love the descendants of Xinjueluo honestly, I will not easily harm anyone's life." Of course, if there are people who don't know the current affairs, they can't complain about my ruthlessness. ”

Empress Dowager Cixi, Emperor Guangxu and Prince Gong Yixin said to Lin Daxin that he was not a murderer, and they all pouted in their hearts, if you Lin Daxin were not a murderer, it would be strange, if nothing else, just say that Lin Daxin's world-famous Nanyang indigenous policy has caused millions of Nanyang natives to lose their lives, isn't this a killing?

Prince Gong Yixin said: "The king of Dingbei is kind-hearted. On behalf of the descendants of the clan, the old man has thanked King Dingbei! ”

After Yi Xin said that he would not embarrass the clan, Yi Xin immediately slapped him with a sycophant, which was definitely against his will. Just Lin Daxin's bear-like, can you describe it as a benevolent house! Sure enough, Lin Daxin's following words made Yixin want to swallow back the sycophants just now.

Lin Daxin said seriously: "There is no way. I'm a well-known homely and kind-hearted, so that the children and grandchildren of Aixin Jueluo can live a normal life in the future. I will send someone to confiscate their property and leave them some money. As long as they are like ordinary people in the future and find a job, they will definitely live an ordinary life. ”

"Ahem, cough, cough-" Prince Gong Yixin was coughed by Lin Daxin's words, what kind of house, it should be extremely greedy, it seems that Lin Daxin is ready to confiscate the property of the entire clan.

Lin Daxin and the Empress Dowager Cixi, Emperor Guangxu, and Prince Gong Yixin did not say anything more, and left Xinuan Pavilion, and under the guidance of Wang Hongjun, the commander of the First Field Army of the Dingbei Army, they went to the Qianqing Palace.

After Lin Daxin left, Emperor Guangxu said indignantly: "This Lin Daxin is really greedy, and he is still very shameless, just like him, he still claims to be kind-hearted, it's just ......."

Before Emperor Guangxu finished speaking, he was interrupted by the Empress Dowager Cixi, "Okay, it's good that we and the children of the clan can save our lives, the emperor should be quieter, there are Lin Daxin's people outside, don't make any more extraneous branches, we are no longer than before, the identity of the mourning family and the emperor in the future is just a prisoner." ”

Emperor Guangxu's expression suddenly languished, and he said with a wry smile: "Yes! Our Qing Dynasty is over, from now on, people will be swords and I will be fish and meat, what Lin Daxin wants, we people have to bear it. ”

Prince Gong Yixin sighed and said: "Let's think about the benefits, at least Lin Daxin didn't kill them all, leaving us with a life." ”

Emperor Guangxu whispered unwillingly: "But in the second half of my life, I can only live in captivity, so it is better to kill me directly." ”

However, Emperor Guangxu just complained, he also cherished his life, otherwise in this situation, he could learn from Emperor Chongzhen at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

Qianqing Palace is the place where the emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties dealt with daily political affairs in the Forbidden City, the 14 emperors of the Ming Dynasty and the Shunzhi and Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty all took the Qianqing Palace as the sleeping palace, it is the head of the last three palaces, located in the Qianqing Gate.

"Qian" is the meaning of the sky, "Qing" is the meaning of thorough, the name of the Qianqing Palace is a symbol of the transparent sky, not muddy, a symbol of national stability, the second is a symbol of the emperor's actions are as open as the clear sky, and he has not done anything unseemly.

Lin Daxin walked into the main hall of the Qianqing Palace, and saw the "Zhengda Guangming" plaque written by the Shunzhi Emperor of the Qing Dynasty hanging above the throne of the main hall.

Lin Daxin had heard that behind this plaque was the "building storage box" of the secret crown prince, and the open and secret struggle between the princes of the Qing Dynasty to seize the throne was quite fierce. In order to alleviate this contradiction, the Yongzheng Dynasty began to adopt the method of secretly establishing a prince, that is, the emperor did not openly appoint the crown prince during his lifetime. And secretly write the document of the chosen heir to the throne, and put a copy by the emperor's side. One copy was sealed in the "building storage box" and placed behind the "Zhengda Guangming" plaque. After the death of the emperor. The ministers of Gu Ming jointly took down the "building storage box", checked it with a copy of the emperor's secret secret, and announced the heir to the throne after verification.

The four emperors of Qianlong, Jiaqing, Daoguang, and Xianfeng all ascended to the throne according to this system. In the late Qing Dynasty, because Emperor Xianfeng had only one son, and Emperor Tongzhi had no son, this method of secretly establishing a prince lost its significance.

Lin Daxin looked at the "Zhengda Guangming" plaque, and couldn't help but think that if he ascended the throne and became the emperor, would he have to do it like those emperors of the Qing Dynasty in the future. Lin Daxin now has several sons.

Lin Daxin shook his head and threw this idea out of his mind, it is still a little early to think about the issue of the heir, so let's prepare to take over the entire Qing Dynasty territory and plan to ascend the throne and become the emperor!

There should be no difficulty in taking over the entire territory of the Qing Dynasty, the new army of 13 towns with the strongest combat effectiveness in the Qing Dynasty, the Wuwei Army of 4 towns have all been subordinated to themselves, and the Beiyang Army of 6 towns, Li Hongzhang also said that it will be merged into the Dingbei Army. The three towns of the Dingwu Army in Shanxi Province also chose to return to the Dingbei Army under the leadership of his cheap father-in-law Yuan Shikai.

In this way, the Qing Dynasty was left with some new armies in the hands of the governors of the provinces, but these provinces formed their own new armies. In terms of training and equipment, compared with the 13 towns and new armies directly under the Qing Dynasty, it is not half a star. As for the Dingbei Army, which has the world's highest combat effectiveness, it is not to mention anything.

Those governors of the Qing Dynasty knew the best about the times. If he dares to choose to swim against the current, Lin Daxin doesn't mind having more martyrs in the Qing Dynasty.

Lin Daxin walked to the front of the throne in the main hall of the Qianqing Palace. sat down unceremoniously, and then said to Wang Hongjun in the main hall: "No wonder so many people want to sit in this position, it is really comfortable to sit down." ”

Wang Hongjun said with a smile: "Headmaster, it seems that we can prepare for your enthronement as emperor." ”

Lin Daxin waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, after my cousin brings people to Beijing, he will help him with the matter of ascending the throne, and our first task now is to completely control the provinces of the Qing Dynasty." In this case, send a telegram to the governors of the provinces, signed in the name of the king of Dingbei, and ask them to welcome the Dingbei army to take over the defense and army of the provinces, and then let these governors come to the city of Beijing, and I will discuss with them the affairs of the state system. In addition, a telegram was sent to Wu Peifu, asking the General Staff of the Dingbei Army to send troops to take over the provinces of the Qing Dynasty. ”

Wang Hongjun nodded and said, "Yes, principal!" I'll send someone to do it right away, but will those governors honestly let us take over their territory and army with the Dingbei Army? And what if the governors don't come to Beijing? ”

Lin Daxin sneered and said: "If you don't know the current affairs, then you don't have to be polite, tell Wu Peifu to solve it directly by force, send a telegram to let those governors come to Beijing City, don't forget to add a sentence after the telegram, if you don't come this time, there will be no chance to come in the future!" ”

Lin Daxin's telegram to the governors of the provinces soon reached the hands of the governors of the provinces, and Liu Kunyi, the governor of Liangjiang in Nanjing, received the telegram from Lin Daxin and summoned his staff to discuss.

At this time, Liu Kunyi was already seriously ill and couldn't get out of bed and walk at all, if it weren't for the Western medicine produced by Lin Daxin's pharmaceutical factory, Liu Kunyi might not even be able to do official business, but now Liu Kunyi can only summon his staff to his bedside.

Liu Kunyi participated in the Xiangyong regimental training during the Taiping Rebellion, joined Jiang Zhongyuan's Hunan army to conquer the Taiping Army, and later led the Hunan army to make military exploits, and was promoted from the rank of teacher to prefect, prefect, prefect, prefect, Guangdong according to the inspection envoy and Guangxi political envoy, and later promoted to the governor of Jiangxi, until the governor of Liangjiang.

Liu Kunyi's process of becoming an official is similar to that of many other Han governors, such as Zeng Guofan and Li Hongzhang, who were all Confucian scholars who were dissatisfied with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Rebellion and participated in the local village bravery, and then were promoted to local magistrates because of their military exploits.

Liu Kunyi leaned on the head of the bed, coughing and said to the staff: "Ahem, cough, cough - Lin Daxin sent a ...... from Beijing Ahem, ahem, ahem—what is your opinion on the telegram sent? ”

Liu Kunyi's most trusted staff member Yi Shunding said with a wry smile: "My lord, now Beijing City is under Lin Daxin's control, and the queen mother and the emperor have also become Lin Daxin's prisoners, Li Hongzhang Li has publicly supported Lin Daxin's ascension to the throne and called the emperor, plus Yuan Shikai of Shanxi Province also took refuge in Lin Daxin, and the new army of the 13 towns with the most combat effectiveness in the imperial court is equivalent to all of Lin Daxin. Now the Qing Dynasty is basically about to disappear in the long river of history, and the subordinates think that we are two rivers, or those who know the times are Junjie! ”

Liu Kunyi coughed a few times, and then asked, "Ahem, cough, cough - what are the opinions of the other gentlemen?" ”

Several other Liu Kunyi's aides looked at each other, and they all said that the current situation, it is better not to resist Lin Daxin, after all, there are only the 14th town, 15th town, and 16th town of the Daqing Army in the entire Liangjiang, and the new army of these three towns adds up to only 60,000 people, even if the nearly 100,000 patrol battalions in various parts of Liangjiang are added, in the face of the powerful Dingbei Army, it is just a little trouble.

Liu Kunyi coughed a few times sharply, sighed and said: "The matter has come to this, the old man has no power to return to the sky, send a telegram to Lin Daxin, we have two rivers and three provinces, I, Liu Kunyi, am willing to submit to him, cough cough cough - but the old man has no days to live, so he will not go to Beijing City, please forgive me." ”

Liu Kunyi knows in his heart that his illness is running out, but he still has a big family, the current situation is too obvious, the Qing Dynasty has been completely finished, Lin Daxin's ascension to the throne and the emperor can no longer be avoided, at this time, if you don't hurry up to Lin Daxin, it is definitely the rhythm of looking for death, Liu Kunyi has to think about the future of his entire family.

After Lin Daxin sent a telegram to the governors of the provinces, in addition to Liu Kunyi, the governor of Liangjiang, who immediately replied to the telegram of Guishun, Zhang Zhidong, the governor of Huguang, Cen Chunxuan, the governor of Liangguang, and Xu Yingqi, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, also sent similar telegrams to Lin Daxin one after another, and these three governors were in good health and were ready to go to Beijing to discuss the matter of the state system with Lin Daxin.

There are many smart people in the world, people who know the times, but there are still dead-eyed people, after Lin Daxin's telegram was sent to the governors of various provinces, there were really people who died, and there was more than one person, Xiliang, the governor of Sichuan, Wang Wenshao, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, and Shengyun, the governor of Shaanxi, all categorically refused the Dingbei Army to enter their jurisdiction, and also scolded Lin Daxin on the telegram as a rebellious minister and thief.
