145 Variations
Within ten days, the things of the previous dynasty were really as expected by Zhirui and Wen Tingshi, Xu because Wen Tingshi had impeached Sun Yuwen in the court, which caused Cixi to secretly hate him, so this time he first took him to sacrifice the flag, not only reprimanded him for "talking crazy", but also issued a decree to dismiss him for the crime of "traffic palace and disturbing the court", and drove him out of Yuqing Palace and never hired.
The so-called "traffic palace" was just a few words whispered to me that day.
Even a person as cautious as Wen Ting-style could not escape Cixi's eyes with every move.
Then came the derogation of Zhirui.
Cixi demoted Zhirui from the Ministry of Rites, and the good right attendant of the Ministry of Rites was sent to Uria Sutai as a counselor.
In fact, it is the distribution of the frontier.
At this point, Cixi was still not satisfied, and even wanted to withdraw the Manshu Room, the South Study Room and the Upper Study Room, because these three important organs of power had all written to fight the main battle, and advocated the suspension of Cixi's 60th birthday celebration attractions. These propositions naturally aroused great dissatisfaction in Cixi's heart, and Cixi had been secretly planning many matters to abolish the three study organs.
Zai Xiang let go again and again, Wen Tingshi and Zhirui dismissed and deposed Zai Xiang Although it was heartache, he was already prepared, and it was inconvenient to say anything more to startle the snake, but the revocation of the study made Zai Xiang shocked and annoyed, and completely touched the bottom line of forbearance, he must not agree, after arguing to no avail, he invited Prince Gong Aixin Jueluo?? Yi came forward to speak.
Later, it is said that Weng Tongyi also pleaded with Cixi many times, and in the end, Cixi only revoked the full study and kept the south study and the upper study.
An Weijun once gave Zai Xiang a fold, and reprimanded Li Hongzhang greatly, saying that he not only misled the country, but also betrayed the country, and the rhetoric involved Cixi and Li Lianying, An Weijun advocated that the First Sino-Japanese Resistance to Japan to the end, and the policy of national self-help, Zai Xiang once also read to me a sentence on the top of An Weijun's recital: "Since the queen mother is in charge of the emperor, if she still restrains everything, how will she be above her ancestors and the subjects of the world?" ”
At that time, I smiled lightly and said, "If this recital is seen by Lafayette, it will definitely be a word of shame." ”
Zai Yan sighed lightly: "Zhen'er knows that what An Weijun wrote on the fold is exactly what I said, but it's a pity that I have too many concerns to express it publicly." ”
I asked, "Why not?" ”
Zai Yan let out a breath and said, "I want to save An Weijun's life," after speaking, he glanced at me, and then said, "And I am not completely sure, it is no good to completely tear my face with Lafayette." ”
I don't know how these recitals that are clearly for Zai Xiang to see will inexplicably run to Cixi's case the next day, Cixi had a seizure in Ningshou Palace, after Zai Xiang got the news, in order to save An Weijun's life, he had to personally issue an edict to dismiss him and send him off.
These coherent and brutal measures of Cixi dealt a great blow to the power that Zai Xiang had accumulated for many years, and it was even more difficult for Zai Xiang to act after he suddenly lost his right hand.
Traitors are in charge, and there is no place for good talents!
The stubborn conservative forces led by Cixi were even more premeditated to completely control the political situation, which made Zai Xiang unbearable, and finally on April 23, the 24th year of Guangxu, Zai Xiang summoned all the ministers of military aircraft in the Qianqing Palace, and issued an edict: "Clearly determine the country's is, and decide to change the law." ”
In the edict, the guiding ideology of the reform and reform of the law was put forward, that is, to plant its foundation with the study of sages and righteousness.
It is also necessary to learn from the West and be close to the times, and give lectures with strength.
He also refuted the erroneous remarks attacking the reform of the law, and cleared the way for the reform to be seen in public opinion.
Broadly speaking, the first project of the reform was the preparation of the Kyoto Normal University Hall.
It is clear that this project needs to be properly discussed by the Minister of Military Aircraft and the Minister of the General Administration.
He also called on the members of the compilation and inspection department, the children of the junior office, and the lower-level officials to apply for the entrance examination.
The day after the promulgation of the edict of the new policy, Cixi coerced Zaiyan to announce that in the future, all officials above the second rank who were appointed to new posts must go to Ningshou Palace to thank her, and even asked Zaiyan to appoint Cixi's close minister Guerjia. Rong Lu was the acting governor of Zhili to control the military power in the area of Beijing and Tianjin.
In the face of Cixi's aggressive persecution, Zai Yan did not flinch.
The next day, Zai Yan appointed Tan Sitong, Liu Guangdi, Yang Rui, and Lin Xu as the military aircraft Zhang Jing, rewarded the title of Sipinqing, and participated in the new policy.
At this time, Ningshou Palace was full of laughter and peace, Li Lianying hurriedly walked in and muttered two words in Cixi's ear, Cixi's face was shocked, I knew very well in my heart that it must be because of some measures of the new deal that made Cixi surprised, and probably because my heart was angered, and it was not good to be angry on the spot in front of people, so I could only maintain a peaceful smile on my face, so Cixi became more and more difficult to sit still.
Concubine Xun played a fan, embroidered with butterflies and cuckoos all over it, sighed softly, and said, "It's really getting hotter this day," she said, and turned her head to Li Lianying and said, "Li Anda must remember to add more ice bricks to Lafayette to enjoy the cool in Ningshou Palace." ”
Li Lianying smiled reluctantly, "The slave doesn't dare to forget." ”
Cixi leaned over and said, "It was originally not allowed to be added by the mourning family, and it hasn't been too hot recently." ”
Emperor Dunyi Rongqing took out a silk to cover her mouth and smiled, "Where is everyone like Concubine Xun's heart?" Glancing at Cixi, he smiled again: "With the help of the minions, how many ice bricks have been added to Concubine Xun in Changchun Palace are still hot!" ”
Concubine Yu thought for a while and said: "Concubine Xun is also a concubine now, and when she inherits the position of the head of the first palace, she always follows the concubine and the imperial concubine to squeeze in one place, and I can't say anything." ”
Cixi said "um", "It's long overdue to move," frowned and sighed lightly, and said, "A few days ago, due to the war with Japan, the matter of Concubine Xun's relocation was put on hold for the time being," Cixi's eyes swept to Concubine Xun, "Concubine Xun is sensible, and she hasn't mentioned it, and after a long time, the mourning family has forgotten to clean up, fortunately, Concubine Yu mentioned it today, otherwise I don't know when it will be!" ”
Saying that, Cixi asked Longyu: "What does the queen think?" ”
Long Yu said calmly: "When the slave goes back, someone will clean up the Qixiang Palace for Concubine Xun to move in." ”
Cixi nodded, "Qixiang Palace is wide, and it is suitable for Concubine Xun to live." ”
When Concubine Xun heard this, she got up and thanked her.
Concubine Yu said with a smile: "Yu is nothing, that is, the magnolia trees in Qixiang Palace bloom extremely vigorously every spring, and Concubine Xun lives in the palace and often goes to watch, otherwise there is no one in the palace, although the palace admires it in his heart, he only dares to look outside the door, so he is not happy!" ”
Concubine Xun smiled: "In the future, Niangniang is naturally welcome to come often." ”
Emperor Concubine Rongqing of Dunyi said with a smile: "It's okay now, Changchun Palace is more peaceful." ”
Concubine Yu looked at Emperor Concubine Dunyi Rongqing with a smile, "It's not good to live in peace?" ”
Emperor Concubine Dunyi Rongqing said with a smile: "This palace also has less to worry about, how is it bad?" ”
