Chapter 148: Reform of the Law (Part II)

"The country is difficult, the court is difficult, and we have a wise emperor, and as a courtier of the Qing Dynasty, I can be proud to have such a wise emperor. Since the emperor wants to change the law to strengthen the country, the minister will naturally support it 100 percent, and if anyone dares to oppose it, it will be a rebel. Then I, the governor of Taiwan, Wang Guorui, will definitely not let him go! ”

Just a few hundred and a few words, that is, it shows Wang Guorui's attitude. And the chief just patted Guangxu, the emperor's ass, and then showed that whoever dares to stop the change of law is a rebel, and Wang Guorui, the "loyal minister" of the court, will definitely not let him go.

And it is just a few hundred and a few words, but it has set off a monstrous wave in the land of China. Because in the hearts of the vast majority of ordinary people in China, Wang Guorui is still a courtier of the Qing Dynasty, because he is the governor of Taiwan. The vast majority of the people did not know in their hearts that Taiwan had secretly signed a special administrative region treaty with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and Taiwan was already almost an independent region. Although these things cannot be hidden from those who have a certain status, the vast majority of the people do not know about them, and those scholars do not know the specific situation inside.

But when I got the news, the morale of the reformers was greatly increased, and they suddenly became even happier. After all, they have support, they have backers, and they are also a governor-level backer. Wang Guorui defeated the Japanese invaders and was a hero of China, so many reformers also cheered, apparently feeling that they had decided to change the law and reform. And then they hope that under the leadership of the emperor and with the support of Wang Guorui's military and economic strength, the law can be changed unhindered and carried out well.

"Kang Aiqing, this Wang Guorui is really a loyal minister. He said that if anyone dared to oppose the change of the law, An would also be a rebel. He was proud to have such a wise emperor as me. It seems that he is a great loyal servant! Guangxu said.

When Guangxu saw this message, he felt relieved all over, and he was still proud of Wang Guorui's "loyalty". But Kang Youwei sneered at Wang Guorui's loyalty in his heart, even if Wang Guorui was already his cheap son-in-law.

"Your Majesty, this Wang Guorui used a pistol to break the holy decree before!" Kang Youwei asked tentatively.

"It's okay, it's okay, the previous holy decrees were all made by the Queen Mother. He should know this, so he hit the face of the Queen Mother, not me! He is still loyal at heart. Guangxu said.

And Kang Youwei couldn't help but feel helpless for Guangxu's "naivety", this emperor was really too naïve, and he was obviously not a qualified political leader in politics. And Kang Youwei now regrets a little, did he choose the wrong boss and take refuge in the wrong person? Can you have a good future with such a naïve person? Don't look at Wang Guorui's support for them now, but in fact, Wang Guorui definitely has ulterior motives. But the emperor subconsciously thought that it was Wang Guorui's loyalty. This is a bit naïve.

However, Guangxu is naïve, others are not naïve, such as the old lady in the Summer Palace.

"Bastard, is the emperor so naïve? This is looking for your own death! Such a naïve emperor, why did the mourning family make him the emperor in the first place? Now, Wang Guorui can't wait for us to fight by ourselves, and then fan us to light the ghost fire! Cixi said angrily.

Emperor Guangxu was stupid. But after all, Cixi is a veteran of many years of palace struggle, how can he not know what Wang Guorui means. Wang Guorui has a strong army though. However, Wang Guorui wants to enter the continent, but his strength is obviously not enough. For example, Taiwan needs steel and human resources, which need to be obtained from the mainland, and Taiwan does not have too many resources for mining. Especially Taiwan's manpower. There are only more than 2 million people, which is still a fraction of the 400 million people on the mainland.

Therefore, the human resources that Wang Guorui needs must be provided from the mainland, but the mainland is afraid of Wang Guorui's rebellion, so it must not stimulate Wang Guorui too much. Once Wang Guorui is too stimulated, then I am afraid that Wang Guorui will immediately rebel. Then Chinese mainland will not be peaceful. The reason why Wang Guorui did not rebel immediately was because if he expanded too quickly, he would inevitably leave a lot of feudal remnants, which naturally could not be solved well. So he had to slow down so that he could have enough capital to take over the mainland.

The Manchu government on the mainland was also very wary of Wang Guorui before, and in terms of guarding against Wang Guorui, the mainland is actually of one mind. After all, Wang Guorui retained the identity of China's territory and did not establish a country on his own. Wang Guorui's idea can be said to be well known to everyone in Sima Zhao's heart, and it is naturally to prepare for the legal seizure of the central government in the future. But Man Qingming knew that this was a bitter fruit, but he had to swallow it himself, after all, they couldn't afford to lose a ceded land. So they knew that Wang Guorui had bad intentions, so they could only pinch their noses and admit it. However, they must strictly guard against Wang Guorui, so as to prevent Wang Guorui from having the opportunity to seize the central power.

But now what Ling Cixi is angry about is that Guangxu actually hooked up with Wang Guorui, and Guangxu wants to change the law and reform, and then be able to regain power. And Guangxu chose to cooperate with Wang Guorui, which increased the strength of the reformers a lot, and they had force as a backer. Although this force is far away in Taiwan, it is like a sword chosen above everyone's heads, and I don't know when it will fall.

Compared with the mainland government of Taiwan, the overall strength of the mainland government of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was actually stronger than that of the mainland government, and the reason why they did not fight Taiwan was because the gains in fighting Taiwan outweighed the losses. And they are all able to accept this nominally unified special administrative region plan, so this is the best way to go. However, the mainland should work together to resist Taiwan and resist Wang Guorui's erosion. But at this time, Emperor Guangxu did not hesitate to cooperate with the "enemy" in order to regain his power, which is simply absurd.

Cixi was angry and hateful, this Guangxu was so short-sighted, he couldn't see that Wang Guorui was a big trouble, and he actually chose to cooperate with Wang Guorui. Guangxu and Cixi are now fighting, and Wang Guorui knows that Guangxu's side is not strong enough, so he took the initiative to come out to support Guangxu, so as to make them achieve a balanced posture as much as possible. And now Wang Guorui's idea Cixi can guess with his ass, that is, to support Guangxu and let him fight with Cixi, and finally Wang Guorui instigated between the two sides, and whichever side is weaker will support whichever side. This kind of game is not complicated, but Guangxu really hit the trick.

Guangxu is a profit and wisdom, and he actually neglected this in order to regain his rights. No matter how much Cixi and Guangxu fought, they were both Manchus, and they were all Manchu nobles. Since they are all Manchu nobles, no matter how fierce their internal strife is, it is the same thing. But in the face of the rise of the Han governors, they should be of one mind. But Guangxu was so stupid and chose to cooperate with Wang Guorui, then this one is tantamount to betraying the collective interests of the Manchu aristocracy.

And Cixi and Guangxu are so internally competitive, it is obviously a loss of the interests of the Manchu nobles themselves, and then Wang Guorui can take the opportunity to sow discord between them and the Manchu nobles themselves, and finally they can reap the benefits of the fishermen. But now that Guangxu has also been tricked, Cixi and Guangxu have become so difficult to ride a tiger. Guangxu was determined to regain his power, and he did not hesitate to cooperate with Wang Guorui, the Han governor. And Cixi will inevitably not hand over her rights, so they will inevitably fight, so both sides can't stop.

"Xiao Lizi, do you think the emperor is still suitable to be a full-man emperor?" Cixi asked.

And when Li Lianying heard this, she was also shocked, he didn't expect Cixi to move her heart to abolish the establishment. This time, Guangxu disappointed him too much, and he did not hesitate to cooperate with "foreign enemies" for the sake of power, which was enough to make Cixi have the heart to abolish it. For these Manchu nobles who do not regard themselves as Chinese, cooperating with the Han for the sake of power is also betraying the nation, which belongs to "Manchu traitors". And this is equivalent to the behavior of Chinese people who cooperate with foreigners for power and sell their own interests, at least in the eyes of high-ranking Manchu nobles like Cixi. They don't think of themselves as Chinese, that's why they think like this.

Because Guangxu had betrayed himself and was Manchu, Cixi already felt that it was not suitable to be a Manchurian emperor in her heart, which made her feel abolished. As for what Cixi will do next, even Li Lianying doesn't dare to guess.

"The Queen Mother, the slave is just a slave and a slut, how dare you build a slut for the Queen Mother in this matter!" Li Lianying said immediately.

And Cixi also nodded, Li Lianying didn't dare to answer such a big question, this is also normal. Even if it is Cixi, you have to think about it carefully, if you have to be careful, after all, the matter of abolishing the emperor is not a trivial matter, even if Cixi has great power in her hands, she must be leisurely. After all, emperors are also rightful rulers, and it has not been so easy to depose emperors since ancient times, so there must be a lot to consider.

"Forget it, let's continue to see the situation! If the emperor is too much, then don't blame the mourning family, the mourning family is also for loving the Xinjueluo family! Cixi said.

In the end, Cixi still planned to take a look at the situation and decide to abolish the emperor so early, after all, this matter was too big, and it was not Cixi who could make a final decision all at once. (To be continued......)
