Entering the gate of the palace, it is a magnificent theater. The two-storey pavilion is carved with beams and paintings, which is beautiful. The plaque book "play Pingcheng" three big characters, the upper and lower doors are hung with "Yangchun", "white snow" two gold plaques.

Chen Hua said in his heart: "It seems that although the emperor is not very old, his extravagance is comparable to that of Cixi." It's just a palace with such a big battle, alas......"

Sigh and continue to walk. After the theater building is a wide courtyard, the two sides of the courtyard are divided into two archways of "Heqing" and "Haiyan". In the middle of the archway are two wooden sacred poles six zhang high. Over the god pole, it is the mountain gate.

The mountain gate to the north is a large courtyard, there is a pavilion in the middle of the courtyard, the name is "the imperial tablet pavilion", the inside and outside Shi column, the yellow tile is red, the central hexagonal column is carved with the eighteen Arhat statues of different images, there is a stone tablet in the pavilion, it is the holy decree and poetry of the first emperor Kangxi's imperial pen, free and elegant, open and close!

Then forward is the Yi Palace, over the Yi Hall is the three into the courtyard, the courtyard in the palace hangs the "Fujing Lingbo" plaque. This palace is the place where the emperor deals with government affairs in the palace, but compared with the pomp and circumstance of the previous theater, it is low-key and introverted. This made Chen Huaji find it quite interesting.

Entering the hall, there was already a person sitting on the dragon chair in the center, that person had bright eyes and bright teeth, beautiful as a crown of jade, and he was really a beautiful young man with a superb temperament.

Tan Sitong walked in the front, bowed his head and bowed: "Weichen Tan Sitong, see the emperor." Long live our emperor!"

Chen Huaji was slightly stunned, the appearance of this emperor was so different from what he expected. In his heart, the emperor should have the same temperament as Cixi, but he didn't expect to be so handsome.

Stunned for a moment, the eunuch beside Guangxu said in a loud voice: "Who is standing in the hall, why don't you kneel when you see the emperor?"

Qin Xiaolou hurriedly patted Chen Hua and his arms, and Chen Hua knelt down on his knees and said in a deep voice: "Common people Chen Huahe, see the emperor." ”

Guangxu obviously didn't take this matter to heart, and when he saw Tan Sitong coming, he was overjoyed and said: "Tan Aiqing, hurry up! I heard that you were arrested by the Queen Mother, and I was so anxious that I wanted to try to rescue the person who was powerless! I am very relieved to see Aiqing again today!"

Tan Sitong got up and said: "The change of the law has failed, what is the regret of the minister, although the ministers are full of liver and brains? This time, it is these righteous people who rescued Weichen from the prison!" As he spoke, he pointed his hand at Chen Huaji, Qin Xiaolou, Tang Rumu, Tang Ruchun, and Tang Rufeng.

Guangxu saw that several people were heroic and extraordinary, and couldn't help but get up and say happily: "Okay! You rescued Tan Aiqing, this is the first great achievement for my 10,000-year-old foundation of the Qing Dynasty! I want to reward you well!" and then set his eyes on Chen Huaji, and said: "This hero is a Taoist immortal master?"

Chen Hua and his chin said: "No." Although he is wearing a robe, he is in the family. It's just that in the past, although the Taoist people learned art. ”

Guangxu smiled: "Okay." Tan Aiqing, you are just in time, tomorrow the military parade in Jinmen, Rong Lu will also come. I have already put all arrangements to rest, and on the day of tomorrow's military parade, it will be the time when Rong Lu will bow down and be captured! At that time, I will take Yuan Aiqing into Beijing to capture the Queen Mother! In this way, the new policy can be expected to be implemented!"

The emperor said this proudly, but Tan Sitong smiled bitterly and asked: "Your Majesty, the minister has to play ......"

Guangxu said: "But please play." ”

Tan Sitong said: "Does the emperor know that Weichen was arrested and imprisoned this time, who is the initiator behind it?"

Guangxu asked, "Who is it?"

"It's Yuan Shikai who has the emperor's trust!" Tan Sitong said, "The emperor doesn't know anything." Ten days ago, the minister learned that the Empress Dowager was going to take the opportunity of this military parade to launch a mutiny with Ronglu and depose the emperor and set up a new monarch! Yuan Shikai informed Rong Lu of his minister's plan, and Rong Lu designed to arrest me. Therefore, this Tianjin military parade is a big conspiracy, so Yuan Shikai can't believe it!"

When Guangxu heard this, his heart was shocked. In this way, it is impossible for him to secretly plan for a long time to take the opportunity to get rid of the diehards such as Rong Lu and the Queen of Heaven. On the contrary, he may have been caught in a conspiracy without knowing it.

"Tan Aiqing, in this way, I want Yuan Shikai to get rid of Rong Lu, I'm afraid that Rong Lu already knows?" Guangxu's tone couldn't help but be low.

"Back to the emperor, that's exactly the case. Yuan Shikai is not credible, and Rong Lu cannot be underestimated. Tan Si said.

"Alas...... Could it be that my country really can't be saved?" Guangxu Yu's face was slightly depressed, and his expression was gloomy.

"Things may not have taken a turn for the better!" Tan Sitong saw the emperor's cowardice, and he continued to cheer for Guangxu and said, "Since we already know that Rong Lu and Yuan Shikai are in cahoots, it is better to plan and pretend not to know the inside story first, and take advantage of the military parade to act at the opportunity, and strike first to assassinate Rong Lu and Yuan Shikai!"

"How easy is it to assassinate these two people...... Guangxu sighed, "These two people are heavily armed, and I am just an empty shell, how can I fight against them?"

Tan Sitong smiled slightly, pointed at the three brothers and sisters of the Tang family and said: "They are the young masters of the Suzhou Iron Sword Hall, and they are loyal to the matter of changing the law! The masters in the Iron Sword Hall are like clouds, and the three young masters are even better! Let them easily change their appearance, disguise themselves as ordinary soldiers, and pretend to approach Rong Lu and Yuan Shikai at the parade scene, waiting for the opportunity to assassinate, the minister thinks, or there is a great chance!"

Guangxu lowered his head and pondered for a moment, there seemed to be a flash of light in his eyes, and he said with joy: "Tan Aiqing is really the pillar of the country!

During the conversation, a personal soldier suddenly came to report, saying that the Admiral of the Nine Gates, Lord Ronglu, was asking to see the emperor outside the palace!
