Yuan Datou ordered the death of Emperor Guangxu and Empress Dowager Cixi to be blocked, and began to make final preparations for his ascension to the throne. On the other hand, the Beiyang Army under Yuan Datou began to gather at Shanhaiguan, commanded by Feng Guozhang, preparing to recapture Shanhaiguan, which was occupied by the Northern Army. It's just that the transfer of 180,000 people in 15 towns is not an easy task. If you want to keep it secret, that's even more impossible.

Although the Empress Dowager Cixi and the Guangxu Emperor died, Yuan Datou still lacked a justifiable reason to ascend the throne. He needed a Zen edict. It's just that Emperor Guangxu is dead, so this edict can only be written by Empress Yulong.

On the night when Emperor Guangxu was killed, Xu Shichang entered the palace to meet Empress Yulong and asked her to write a Zen edict.

"Your Majesty, the Qing Dynasty has now reached the point of storm. The Northern Army and the Southern Rebel Governorate were pressing forward step by step, and the common people of the world were also extremely disgusted with the Qing Dynasty. In order to maintain the peace of the world, the Prime Minister hoped that the Empress would write an edict on the throne of Zen and cede the world of the Manchu Qing Dynasty to the Prime Minister. Xu Shichang looked compassionate.

"Zen edict? Yuan Datou wants to seek a usurpation of the throne? Empress Yulon exclaimed.

"Your Majesty, it's not that your lord wants to usurp the throne, your lord is doing this to save the world." Xu Shichang said with a dark face.

Queen Yulon wasn't stupid, and she certainly knew what it all meant. However, what made her wonder was why Xu Shichang asked her to write the edict of the Zen throne, not by the Guangxu Emperor himself, or by the Empress Dowager Cixi?

"I'm just a woman. How can the edict of the Zen throne be written by me, it should be written by His Majesty the Emperor. Empress Yulon said.

"His Majesty the Emperor has passed away this morning. Galeries Lafayette was overjoyed when he heard the news. He also rode the crane westward. However, for the sake of stability, we blocked the news. Xu Shichang said.

"The emperor died? Galeries Lafayette also drove the crane west? How is this possible? No, they must have been killed by Yuan Datou. Empress Yulon immediately shouted. Her instincts told him that her guess was absolutely correct.

"Your Majesty, please don't talk nonsense and slander the Prime Minister. Otherwise. We're not going to say yes. Xu Shichang said coldly.

Empress Yulong immediately fell silent, she saw a hint of murder in Xu Shichang's eyes, she knew. If she said it again, Xu Shichang would really dare to order someone to kill her. They even dared to kill the emperor and the Empress Dowager Cixi, let alone her, an empress with no power.

Although, there was little affection between Empress Yulong and Emperor Guangxu. It's even like fire and water. But at this moment, after learning that Emperor Guangxu was killed, she couldn't help but feel sad, and her tears couldn't stop falling.

Empress Yulon's name is Yehenara. Qingfen, nicknamed Xizi and Xige, is the eldest daughter of Guixiang and the niece of the Empress Dowager Cixi. In the thirteenth year of Guangxu, Yehenara was 19 years old, which coincided with Guangxu's selection of concubines. Yehnara became a candidate for concubine. After layers of screening, on the body and the temple. Yehenala finally met her future husband, her cousin Guangxu. Guangxu was 17 years old at the time, 3 years younger than Yehenara, white and thin, and a scholarly appearance, which made Yehenala suddenly fall in love. Along with the Yehenara clan, there are also the two daughters of Dexin, the governor of Jiangxi, and the two daughters of Changxu, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites. Although those girls were very beautiful, in the end, Guangxu still chose the Yehenara clan, who was not outstanding in appearance, as the queen, in fact, this is what Cixi meant.

On the fifth day of October in the 14th year of Guangxu, the Empress Dowager Cixi issued a decree announcing that the Guangxu Emperor elected Yehenala as the queen, and the daughter of the Dexin family was sent out of the palace, leaving only the two sister flowers of the Changxu family, the big one was named Jin Concubine, and the small one was named Zhen Concubine. In the first month of the fifteenth year of Guangxu, the Qing Dynasty held a grand Guangxu wedding. But on the wedding night, Guangxu was unusually cold to the Yehenara clan, and he was not like a newlywed couple at all. Yehenala later learned that Guangxu didn't fancy himself in the first place, he fell in love with the second daughter of the Dexin family, but he was afraid of the majesty of Cixi, so Guangxu had to choose her cousin. Guangxu can't even make decisions about his own marriage, so he can only spill his resentment on the queen Yehenara. Therefore, after the Yehenara clan was brought into the palace by the Great Qing Gate, although he was favored by Cixi, he could not get the slightest favor from his husband. The love of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is not the same thing as the love of husband and wife. Although Empress Guangxu's laurels are enviable, there is no fun at all.

Guangxu only has Concubine Zhen in his eyes, even if there is no Concubine Zhen, Guangxu is too lazy to take care of the queen, because he knows very well that this cousin is the eyes and ears that Lafayette has placed beside him. Slowly, the queen, who had been neglected for a long time, began to lose her balance in her heart...... In fact, the fate of Empress Guangxu had long been decided by Cixi...... She knew that her aunt was powerful, and she could only obey Cixi's orders absolutely. The Empress Dowager Cixi is a hundred uneasy about Guangxu, who is close to the government, and the queen who is sandwiched between the Empress Dowager and Guangxu must make a choice, either to stand on the side of the Empress Dowager and deal with the emperor, or to please Guangxu as much as possible and become a veritable husband and wife. The trade-off of interests and Guangxu's favor for Concubine Zhen finally made the queen prostrate under Cixi's obscenity. She is the queen, so she has to put the queen's score in front of Concubine Zhen, so that the fox is fake and the tiger is mighty, and Cixi is punished by Concubine Zhen. Once, Yehenala actually counted down Concubine Zhen in front of Guangxu, and Guangxu, who couldn't bear it, beat Yehenala in a fit of anger, and Yehenala ran to the Queen Mother to tell Guangxu about the situation, so far, the queen has completely fallen to the side of the Queen Mother, and she is destined to be a widow for the rest of her life.

But now, Emperor Guangxu was killed, which still made Empress Yulong feel a little uncomfortable. She wanted to kill Yuan Datou and others to avenge Emperor Guangxu, but that was simply impossible. The entire Forbidden City, and even the entire world, are under the control of Yuan Datou. She is just a woman, and it is impossible for her to avenge Emperor Guangxu at all. Even, in order to survive in the world, he had to obey the orders of Yuan Datou and others.

In this way, Empress Yulong shed tears while writing an abdication edict according to Xu Shichang's intentions. After writing, it was stamped with the jade seal that the Beiyang government had already obtained, which undoubtedly represented the final end of the Manchu Dynasty.

After Xu Shichang got the edict written by Empress Yulong, he left the Forbidden City. At the same time, he ordered the Forbidden City to enter the guard, and it was absolutely impossible to let the people inside out, let alone leak the slightest news.

Subsequently, Yuan Datou and others began to plot.

"Gong Bao, the edict of the Zen position has been obtained. Even if we can't block the mouths of the people of the world, we have achieved great righteousness. As long as we can defeat those enemies, then no one will be able to compete with you for the emperor's throne. Xu Shichang smiled.

After Yuan Datou read the edict of the Zen position, he also nodded again and again. This edict of the Zen throne is just a name. With this name, he was able to rightfully ascend the throne and become emperor. Of course, this may not stop the doubts of people in the world. However, Yuan Datou didn't care. He had the powerful Beiyang Army in his hands, and except for the Northern Army, there was no one in the whole of China who was his opponent. As long as those enemies can be defeated, no one can pose a threat to his throne.

"And when are we going to announce it?" Yuan Datou was a little excited.

"My lord, I think it's better sooner rather than later. The more it drags on, the worse it will be for us. We're going to get it done with lightning speed. Even if others want to oppose it, it will be too late. Yang Shiqi suggested.

"Okay, then do it. Tomorrow, the death of the Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu will be officially announced, followed by the announcement of the edict written by Empress Yulong. Yuan Datou finally made a decision.

On November 11, 1908, Yuan Datou, the prime minister of the Beiyang government, officially announced that Emperor Guangxu and Empress Dowager Cixi had died of serious illness one after another.

This news immediately caused an uproar in China. The Empress Dowager Cixi died of illness, which everyone can accept. After all, the Empress Dowager Cixi was already a seventy-three-year-old woman, and it was not surprising that she died of illness at this age. However, Emperor Guangxu is only thirty-seven years old now, and although he is weak, he will not die so early.

For a while, everyone speculated and talked about the death of Emperor Guangxu. Many people believe that Emperor Guangxu was killed by Yuan Datou at all. Yuan Datou's nickname of "Living Cao Cao" is not in vain, almost everyone knows his ambition. Now, everyone has reason to believe that Yuan Datou killed Emperor Guangxu in order to usurp the throne.

Some local governors loyal to the Manchu court have even begun to connect and prepare to openly question Yuan Datou whether he killed Emperor Guangxu.

As for the princes and nobles of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the reaction was very surprising to everyone. They seemed to agree with Yuan Datou's statement, and they didn't mean to object at all.

In fact, it's not that they don't want to oppose Yuan Datou's statement, but they don't dare! Yuan Datou sent the elite Beiyang army of two towns into Yanjing City overnight, and the mansions of the princes and nobles have been taken over by the Beiyang army. If they dare to come out and make trouble, then what awaits them is to raid their homes and exterminate their clans! More than 200 years of comfortable life have already made the blood of these Manchu princes and nobles have been polished.

On November 12, Empress Yulong issued an edict and issued an edict on the throne, officially announcing that the throne would be ceded to Yuan Datou. After Yuan Datou repeatedly resigned, he finally accepted the throne.

The Beiyang government immediately announced that Yuan Datou would worship the sky on the 13th and ascend the throne as emperor. (To be continued......)
