Chapter 3: Eliminate the accumulated evils, rejuvenate and self-reliant!
"Xia Xuan, I may not be as shrewd as my ancestors, but I can still distinguish what a sin is."
"Although I am the lord of the world, since the cutting of Taiwan, the hearts of the people in the world have been lost, and I have no choice but to be the lord of the world."
The loss on Guangxu's face increased a few points, these words, which had been hidden in his heart for a long time, and the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time were released at this moment.
That sentence completely shocked Xia Xuan.
Everyone is scolding the late Qing government for being incompetent, corrupt, and ideologically feudal.
But the emperor who is standing in front of him now, when the invasion of the foreign powers, stood on the position of loving the country and the nation, and fought with all his might.
He vigorously opposed compromise and denounced the shameful act of the diehards in seizing land for peace.
No matter how many mountains and rivers there are in China, how much can they withstand?
Although the war was lost and the unequal treaty was signed, whether it was in the course of the war, or when the treaty was signed later, Guangxu's clear attitude made the greatest efforts to safeguard the country's independence and national dignity.
What is the sin of such a monarch who serves the country and the people?
"Eliminate the accumulated evils, rejuvenate and improve yourself!"
"It was Your Majesty's Reform Movement that changed the country, in other words, it was you who saved the entire Chinese nation."
"It's not your fault that you lost the war, it's your fault if you give up because of defeat."
But you learned from the pain, and later insisted on implementing the reform and reform movement, you took the lead in looking at the world, advocating learning from the West, and even throwing aside the shackles of "the law of the ancestors". Encouraging the gentry, businessmen, and people to talk about things and create a democratic style of work are all your merits. ”
"You once said that I changed the law but wanted to save the people's ears, and if I could save the people, what could I do if I didn't replace the monarchy?"
"What a bold statement that is, if it can save the country, whether the monarch of a country has the right or not, and what should he do!"
Xia Xuan's words pierced Guangxu's heart, he never thought that in the future generations, there would be such a confidant.
He looked at Xia Xuan's eyes, and became very excited at the moment, with tears in the corners of his eyes.
Maybe he never thought that there were still people who could understand him and really enter his inner world.
Excited, happy, unwilling? Maybe both!
At this time, the audience in the live broadcast room had long forgotten that this was a live broadcast, as if they were also standing in front of the monarch a hundred years ago with Xia Xuan.
The powerlessness of ceding mountains and rivers and failing to change the law suddenly came to my heart.
Many people listened to Xia Xuan say word by word, and at this time, they had a different understanding of the emperor in front of them.
Maybe his political ability is not as good as that of previous emperors, but his heart is for the country and the people, and this is enough.
"Why, I also felt that powerlessness, and I now understand what it means to be a king for a day, and a duty to serve the country and the people for a day."
"Some monarchs don't cherish it, some monarchs can't do anything, and Guangxu's life is also miserable."
"Damn, who would have thought that my dignified seven-foot man would have wet eyes, Gan!"
"Support the anchor, it's too positive, come on!"
At this time, I don't know who took the lead, sending a barrage of cheering on the screen.
Watching the barrage drift by, Xia Xuan realized that he was broadcasting live, and the number of people had exceeded 100,000.
He really wanted to show the monarch in front of him now, and no one in the future would scold him, but cheer for him.
Guangxu looked at Xia Xuan, and the eyes of the two collided again, but this time, it was different.
If we talk about the first time we look at each other, it is a look at each other across time.
That time, Guangxu was looking at a confidant from the afterlife, while Xia Xuan was looking at a poor monarch.
But in his eyes, there was no sympathy for Guangxu, but more admiration.
Knowing that the country is about to die, but still thinking about saving the country and saving the national righteousness, how can such a monarch not be admired.
"Xia Xuan, I want to thank you."
"Now in this court, no one can understand me, and I can't find anyone to tell the words that have been backlogged in my heart for a long time, it is you who helped me solve the knot in my heart."
Guangxu stepped forward and held Xia Xuan's hand tightly, at this moment, he could feel the origin of the so-called "how lonely the king has been since ancient times".
The monarchs of the past dynasties, who is different from Guangxu?
Everything a monarch does is not necessarily satisfying to everyone.
Perhaps everyone in later generations said that Guangxu was too young, too eager to succeed, and implemented reforms, wanting to change the pathology of the late Qing Dynasty overnight.
But even if you look at it from an outsider's perspective, you may not be able to see the status quo clearly.
The times forced Guangxu to implement the changes as soon as possible, if it is delayed for too long, I am afraid that more places in China will be more colonial.
"No, I should thank you, the late Qing Dynasty has been ill for a long time, although the changes you implemented failed, but it became a blind medicine, so that more people saw the root of the disease."
"It was you who opened the school, reformed the imperial examination system, and sent people to study abroad, which broadened the horizons of more scholars and gave a shot in the arm to the country and the nation that had been ill for a long time, and it was able to turn a corner."
After the failure of Xia Xuan's reform, how democracy was continued, how to change the people's views, how to start the road of revolution, and how to imitate the spirit of Marxism were all told to Guangxu.
At this moment, Guangxu couldn't hold back his emotions anymore, and his clenched hands began to tremble, and his eyes were blurred, as if he saw the picture in Xia Xuan's mouth.
In the revolutionary war, democracy can be better implemented, and I don't know whether he is happy, sad, or both in his heart now.
If there is a war, the people will suffer, and there will be sacrifices, but he thought of his own thinking and opened his feudal thinking, and his tears finally fell uncontrollably.
At this time, Xia Xuan's heart was also unable to calm down.
I can't say what it feels like, what he is doing now may be something that many people can't even dream of in their lifetimes.
Crossing the long river of history, telling the ancients about the development of later generations, and telling the knots in the hearts of the sages, let them know that today's China is already in an era of peace.
"Xia Xuan, come, tell me, what is the scene of this future life, now I am clear..."
"I'm in Huaxia, am I still being bullied, and are the people still suffering?"
Guangxu's name for himself at this time has changed, and Xia Xuan has really entered his heart at this moment.
Xia Xuan paused and looked at Guangxu, whose eyes were full of tears.
"Today's Huaxia... Standing on the stage of the world, dazzling and dazzling, the people who compete with us have come and gone, but Huaxia still lasts forever! ”
"The country is strong, and our generation is self-reliant!" ”
"Throughout the ages, whether it is the ideal world pursued by sages and monarchs, today's China has achieved it."
"We are now telling people all over the world that Huaxia is standing tall!"
Perhaps it was Guangxu's emotions that affected Xia Xuan, and at this moment, he no longer cared about many restrictions, and told the poor monarch in front of him what he wanted to say in his heart.
