Chapter 25 Chapter 22

"No, Your Majesty, Zhen'er once swore to live and die with the Emperor. How can Zhen'er leave the Emperor at this critical moment, Your Majesty... Zhen'er won't leave..." Concubine Zhen broke down in tears and said, and tightly hugged the emperor's neck and refused to let go... "What, the queen mother came to the palace overnight? It's over, Yuan Shikai betrayed me." Emperor Guangxu's face turned pale, and Concubine Zhen hurriedly put on her clothes and got up and said, "Your Majesty, put on your clothes quickly, even if you go up the mountain of swords or across the sea of ​​fire, you have to find a way!"

"Yuan Shikai, you hypocrite, you ruined the reform, I will not spare you." Emperor Guangxu cursed angrily.He anxiously said to Concubine Zhen: "Zhen'er, what should I do? All my hard work has been ruined by this Yuan thief." Emperor Guangxu stomped his feet repeatedly. Concubine Zhen said calmly: "Your Majesty, the strong wind knows the strength of the grass, and the loyal and traitor are known in troubled times. This has been the case throughout the ages. There is no way to do it. The Emperor has misjudged the person. But now, there is no way to be anxious. The Emperor should hurry up." Go out of the palace to avoid it, and let's talk after avoiding this wave."

Emperor Guangxu shook his head and said, "No, I won't leave. I'm the emperor, and even if the sky falls, I'll still hold it up. I'm worried if Kang Youwei and the others are leaving? Wang Shang..." "The slave is here." "Report to Kang Youwei quickly and tell them to leave Beijing quickly." "Yes." Wang Shang knew that it was very difficult to enter and leave the palace, but in this situation, he could not add any more worries to the emperor, so he had to send someone to report the news no matter what. Concubine Zhen was touched and said: "Your Majesty, you are really the Emperor I admire the most. At this critical juncture, you first think of others instead of yourself. Your Majesty, many emperors are greedy for life and afraid of death, but you are the only one who is so righteous." , Zhener heard and saw it, and admired it. It is an honor for Zhener to be with such an emperor, and Zhener vows to tide over the difficulties with the emperor."

"Zhen'er..." Emperor Guangxu touched her hand. Emperor Guangxu's desperate heart seemed to be comforted. He hugged Concubine Zhen and choked with sobs and said: "Zhen'er, everything has been exposed. Lafayette will not spare me. I will inevitably die. Zhen'er, you should put on makeup and run away." , I will ask Wang Shang to send you out." "No... Your Majesty, Zhen'er once swore to live and die with the Emperor. How can Zhen'er leave the Emperor at this critical moment, Your Majesty, Zhen'er won't leave..." Concubine Zhen broke down in tears and hugged her tightly The emperor's neck refused to let go.

exactly: "Zhen'er..." Emperor Guangxu cried and said, "You are the only one who loves me the most in this world. My mother died early, and I entered the palace when I was four years old. Although the Queen Mother treats me like my own son, I always tremble when I see her." ... Ever since I had you, my heart has truly been warm. Now, the catastrophe is about to come, and you, Zhen'er, vowed to be with me to the death. I thank you, and I have failed you. I can’t protect the person I love the most, I’m ashamed! Don’t say I don’t look like an emperor, I just don’t even look like a man.”

"The emperor doesn't have to blame himself, I don't blame the emperor for all this, only blame the queen mother for being too domineering." "Zhen'er, do you think I should reform or not? Is there anything wrong with me?" The imperial concubine said firmly: "The emperor is right, the emperor is not wrong, of course the law should be reformed, and the law should not be changed. Are we allowed to be slaughtered by foreigners at will? Since the reform, you have suffered a lot and gone through hardships. Isn't it all for the sake of The revitalization of the Qing Dynasty, the prosperity of China? What is wrong with the emperor? It is because of the reform that he offended those powerful officials and the Lafayette, is this the emperor's fault?"

Guangxu gazed into Concubine Zhen's eyes movedly and said: "Zhen'er, I really didn't expect you, a girl, to be so knowledgeable and righteous. Zhen'er really deserves to be a hero among women! Since the implementation of the reform, you Accompanying me every day, helping me read memorials and giving ideas, until late at night, you still tried every means to help me pass the news to the officials, you really deserve to be my arm." While the two were talking, Wang Shang came to report again: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has arrived at Xizhimen." Emperor Guangxu became nervous again when he heard this, his hand holding Concubine Zhen seemed to be trembling...

"Your Majesty, Zhen'er would like to advise you again, hurry up and hide in the palace, there is still time, there are many people who fled during coups since ancient times, didn't they make a comeback later on!" "No, I won't leave. I have absolutely no intention of harming the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager should not harm me. At most, she will abolish the throne. Besides, if I escape, the Empress Dowager will think that I really hurt her. The queen mother explained everything." "Oh..." Concubine Zhen sighed: "Your Majesty, you are really smart all your life, and you are so confused for a while! Think about it, it is because you have no intention of harming her, but you want to take her power. Who is the Queen Mother? How can she know?" Can I spare you? This is the key point!"

"She has already returned to politics, and I should take back real power. This is not my fault." "She can set you up or depose you. If you want to deprive her of power, of course she will depose you. Now you have to escape, first go to the embassy to take shelter, and then ask them to escort you to a foreign country, and then you will be punished." Come back. Your Majesty, several foreign emperors deal with coups in this way. Teacher Wen Tingshi told me. Your Majesty, run away, Your Majesty, Zhener begs you..." Concubine Zhen cried and knelt down to Emperor Guangxu...

"Your majesty... run away, Zhen'er begs you..." Concubine Zhen cried and begged. "Let me think again, think again..." "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's too late to think about it again. Let's disguise ourselves and escape." "No...no, I can't go." Guangxu sat down, propping his chin with his hands and thinking in pain. "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has arrived outside the gate of the palace, please hurry up and pick her up." Guangxu suddenly stood up, his mind went blank, everything was over, everything was too late, he had to go to pick him up, let the Queen Mother dominate.Emperor Guangxu trembled all over and his face was pale.

"Your Majesty,..." Concubine Zhen held Emperor Guangxu's hand and said, "Since you are here, please rest assured. Don't be afraid, Your Majesty. The matter is over now, so I have to go pick him up. But please promise Zhen'er that a good man will not eat." You are at a disadvantage, don't contradict the queen mother, as long as you keep the green hills, you won't be afraid of running out of firewood, otherwise, the queen mother will do anything in a fit of anger... Your majesty... did you hear that?" Concubine Zhen shook her light said the arm of the god. "If you hear it, do as Zhen'er tells you." Wang Shang ran in in a panic and knelt down. "Quickly, Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has arrived outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony." Emperor Guangxu and Concubine Zhen hurried to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and saw Cixi and a large group of princes, ministers, concubines and princesses standing outside the hall. The Empress Dowager Cixi standing in the center was full of anger and her eyes were like torches. When Emperor Guangxu and Concubine Zhen saw it, they knelt down to Empress Dowager Cixi with a "plop". "Father Huang is auspicious, my child pays respects to Father Huang." The Empress Dowager Cixi didn't speak, just threw a piece of clothes that Emperor Guangxu wore when he was a child on the head of Emperor Guangxu, and said angrily: "Nizi! Look whose clothes are these? You were just a side branch when you were young. I will take you You were only four years old when you were brought into the palace from Prince Chun’s mansion. I raised you up with a piss and shit, and helped you become the supreme emperor, married you, and returned the government to you. I left you, and I went to the Summer Palace to spend my life by myself, and I entrusted all the power to you, but instead of repaying your kindness, you wanted to harm me, you ungrateful and rebellious son, you... you are worse than a beast!" The Empress Dowager Cixi said He scolded a lot of words in one breath. "Father Huang, you have wrongly blamed my son. How could my son want to harm my father? This... Yuan Shikai framed my son. Please find out clearly." "Bah! Who is your royal father? You are an unfilial thing, and you still want to deny it. Let's see what this is?" With a "snap", Cixi threw the secret edict betrayed by Yuan Shikai in the face of Emperor Guangxu. "Abba Huang, this is not an order from my minister. I just ordered him to send troops to guard your old man. He never wanted him to hurt Father Huang. This is purely fabricated by him." "There are both personal and physical evidence, and you still want to deny it, you want to kill me?! If I am gone today, will you be there tomorrow?!... God, my ancestors! Punish this unrighteous and unfilial son! ...Oh my God! How could I raise such an ungrateful thing like you." Cixi burst into tears. Seeing this, Guangxu also burst into tears. He raised his tearful head and said to the Empress Dowager Cixi: "Imperial Father, I can swear to heaven that I will never pass any oral or written edicts to hurt you. This is indeed Yuan Thief harming me. Please investigate after the Empress Dowager appeases her anger." Concubine Zhen knelt down towards the Empress Dowager Cixi...weeping and said: "The Holy Mother, the Empress Dowager, please be aware that what the Emperor said is indeed the truth. The Emperor has always been filial to the Empress Dowager and loyal to the Holy Mother. He has no intention of harming the Holy Mother. This is a villain." Framed against him..." Cixi was furious when she heard this: "Little man, who is a villain, you foxy son, you have a place to speak here? Well, you jumped out first, I already knew that you bewitched the emperor all day long to make reforms, Reading books from foreigners to the emperor, the emperor was instigated by you to become like this, you still want to intercede, do you know you are guilty?" Concubine Zhen was not afraid at all, and she wanted to go all out. Now is the emperor's most dangerous time, and she must plead for the emperor even if she is desperate. Your Majesty, for more than ten years, I have personally felt that the current Emperor is indeed the hero of our Qing Dynasty. He has worked hard to govern, worked diligently and frugally, and he has broken his heart for the revitalization of the Qing Dynasty. Looking at his face that is getting thinner and thinner, Zhener is really heartbroken , Zhen'er has never seen such a diligent emperor..." The Empress Dowager Cixi interrupted Concubine Zhen and said: "You said that he worked hard to govern and serve the country with strength, so why did the Sino-Japanese War suffer a complete defeat? If the Ai family came out to rescue, the country would perish early in the morning, and you still have today?" "Empress Dowager, how can you blame the emperor? It's because you don't give him military power, so he can't mobilize the army?" As soon as Concubine Zhen said a word, the four people were shocked. The princes, ministers, concubines and princesses present were all scared out of their wits, and they didn't even dare to breathe. The Empress Dowager Cixi sneered, took a step towards her, and reprimanded loudly: "You...what else do you want to say?" The murderous intent revealed in the words was already bloody... "I want to say it, Zhen'er wants to say it. The reform and reformation is a way to strengthen the country and save the country, but you restrict the emperor everywhere and make it difficult for the emperor to move forward. Therefore, even if the emperor wants to punish the stubborn ministers and remonstrate with the queen mother, it is out of necessity!" "Presumptuous! Shut up." The Empress Dowager Cixi approached Concubine Zhen with a livid face, and said word by word: "You, you are so bold. The concubine is not allowed to interfere in politics. Are you guilty?" "Zhen'er is innocent, didn't the Empress Dowager also violate this rule?" Hearing the words of the unforgivable crime and the punishment of the nine clans, the princes and ministers standing aside all turned pale with fright, and dared not even take a breath. "shut up!" With two sounds of "pa, pa", the furious Empress Dowager Cixi slapped Concubine Zhen twice on the mouth, then turned around and said: "Everyone heard, this bitch dared to bully Ai's family, and everything was reversed. Come on!" Beat this bastard to death." "Yes." Immediately two eunuchs came out and pulled Concubine Zhen to beat her with sticks. Seeing this, Xiaomei cried and knelt down to the Empress Dowager Cixi, crying: "Lafayette, Master Zhen is innocent, let the servant die for Master Zhen!" Cixi was furious: "Slave dog, do you have a share in this? I knew I shouldn't have let you into the palace. It was the Changxu family who instigated the emperor..." Cixi gritted her teeth again and said, "Okay, I'll make it happen for you. Come on, take this bastard down and beat him to death with a cane." "Empress Dowager: Please forgive her." Concubine Zhen knelt down and begged Cixi. "Pull it away!" Cixi shouted to the left and right with a livid face. Two soldiers came up and dragged Xiaomei down. "Master Zhen, take care." "Xiaomei..." Concubine Zhen fainted... Xiaomei was born in poverty. Because her parents died early and had no way out, her relatives sent her to Concubine Zhen’s house. She became a servant of the Changxu family at the age of seven. She is intelligent, kind, upright, and studious. A lot of knowledge, learned a lot of truth in life.She sympathizes with Concubine Zhen, supports Master Zhen and Emperor Guangxu's political reform from the bottom of her heart, and sympathizes with Concubine Zhen for being tortured by Empress Dowager Cixi and Empress Longyu. Concubine Zhen hit the head... Cixi pressed her towards Concubine Zhen again, "Your slave will not be able to replace your sins even if he dies. Someone, come, beat to death the person who instigated the emperor to harm the country!" "The Queen Mother calms down." Cixi was surprised that someone who was not afraid of death dared to intercede with her. Looking back, she saw her favorite Princess Rongshou Gulun kneeling and begging with tears streaming down her face. "speak." "The Queen Mother, please calm down. What Concubine Zhen said just now is really disrespectful to the Queen Mother, but please see that she is young and ignorant, and also because of her true feelings for the emperor, please forgive her death. Although her words collide It is also my loyalty to the Qing Dynasty. It is rare for a girl to have this kind of loyalty. If she is killed because she directly admonished the Queen Mother, I am afraid that the world will not accept it. Instead, I will leave the driving name for the Queen Mother. It is better to punish her for a while. Time, after the matter has passed, it may be more appropriate for her to regret too much." When Cixi saw that Princess Rongshou Gulun spoke rationally and restrainedly, she said nothing. Concubine Jin usually followed the Queen to humiliate Concubine Zhen because of jealousy, but now that the Queen Mother wanted to grant her death, she also knelt down to beg for mercy out of her sister's affection. "The Queen Mother, please spare her!" Cixi only gave her a cold look and didn't speak. "The Queen Mother, please spare her!" Si Gege, San Gege and a group of Fujin and wives also knelt down and begged for mercy.Only Empress Longyu turned her face away. Empress Dowager Cixi felt sad when she saw this, and said to Princess Rongshou: "I know you have the kindest heart. In fact, I can't bear to spill blood on the court, but they conspired to harm Huang Ama, and Huang Ama had no choice but your father respectfully." He may not be able to see the prince alive... Well, since you all plead for mercy, I will spare her death and let her regret the past." "Thank you Emperor Ama." Princess Rongshou Gulun cried. Empress Dowager Cixi issued a decree: "Come here, take off Concubine Zhen's headdress, and take her to the cold palace. She will not come out unless I order it." Cui Yugui and the two eunuchs immediately came up and tore off Concubine Zhen's headdress, dragged it and left. "Your Majesty, take care, Your Majesty..." Zhenfei cried. "Concubine Zhen..." Emperor Guangxu fainted. Seeing this, Cixi said coldly: "The emperor is probably ill. Li Lianying sent the emperor to Yingtai Hanyuan Hall to recuperate. Don't delay." Cixi looked around at the princes and ministers again, and said, "All ministers, do you have anything to say?" Everyone was trembling with fright, how dare they say no.After a few seconds of silence, Prince Qing Yikuang knelt down towards the Taidun and said: "I will report to the Empress Dowager, now that the Emperor is messing around with reforms, the ancestral system has been broken, and the court system is in chaos. Please also ask the Empress Dowager to be promoted to the palace for personal training." , To close the mess is the hope of the minister." Six people including Huaitabu, Minister of Rites who had been dismissed by Emperor Guangxu, and several veteran officials also knelt down and said in unison: "The queen mother is in charge." Cixi's unconcealable joy finally showed between her brows.The crooked eyebrows that were tightly furrowed finally relaxed, thinking to myself, these old officials of mine are still loyal to me, if they are all withdrawn by the emperor, who else should I rely on, so she nodded bluntly and said: "Zu Zuo, everyone! Go back and rest, the Ming Dynasty will be promoted to the palace for discussion." "Yes. Empress Dowager Mingjian." "The Empress Dowager's lesson." Emperor Guangxu woke up and found himself lying in a dark hall, so he shouted: "Wang Shang, Wang Shang..." It took a long time before a eunuch came over holding a candle. "What is this place?" "..." "I ask you where is this?" "..." "Are you dumb?" "..." The eunuch put Emperor Guangxu's clothes on his bed and went to the side to light a lamp. When the light came on, Emperor Guangxu saw it and realized that it was Yingtai Hanyuan Hall. Another eunuch came in. "Concubine Zhen... Where is Concubine Zhen?" Emperor Guangxu asked again. "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has delivered an order, please put on your clothes and go to court." The palace on this small island in the South China Sea, called Hanyuan Hall, was originally a place for emperors and concubines to have banquets, but now it has become a place where Emperor Guangxu was imprisoned. Emperor Guangxu put on his clothes and stood up. He was so dizzy that he almost fell down. An eunuch supported him.After freshening up, only two eunuchs brought meals. Emperor Guangxu saw that there was only a very simple two meat and two vegetables, which was very different from before.He didn't care about these things, and after he ate in a hurry, he was escorted by four new grand guardians. In fact, he was escorted to the Hall of Supreme Harmony for training. When he arrived in the palace, Emperor Guangxu looked up and saw the Empress Dowager Cixi sitting majestically on the dragon chair, and all the officials were standing outside the Great Yin.Seeing that Emperor Guangxu was coming, Li Lianying came over and led Guangxu Emperor to the front of the officials, and then proclaimed in a eunuch's unique, coquettish voice: "The Holy Mother, the Empress Dowager, will start training politics from now on, and the emperor will lead all civil and military officials to the Queen Mother." worship." Therefore, Emperor Guangxu led all his ministers to bow three times and nine times to the Empress Dowager Cixi, and shouted: "Long live the Holy Mother, long live the Empress Dowager." "Everyone who loves you is free of courtesy." "Thank you, Empress Dowager." The Empress Dowager Cixi cast a majestic glance at all the ministers, then waved her hands and said, "Everyone loves you, and you are flat." The Empress Dowager Cixi sat high on the imperial chair, looked around majestically, and then glanced solemnly at the former imperial ministers, military ministers, and princes and dignitaries who were kneeling at her highness... Then she asked: "Now that the emperor has messed up the imperial court In this way, the ministers talk about it, what should we do in the future?" As soon as Cixi's words fell, Yang Chongyi, the censor, knelt forward and said: "Yang Chongyi, the censor, has made an admonition." "Speak." Cixi nodded.Yang Chongyi once went to the Summer Palace to ask Empress Dowager Cixi to teach her administration, so she knew it well. "I ask the Empress Dowager to teach the government, otherwise there will be no discipline in the court and no peace in the country." A trace of joy flashed across Cixi's face when she heard this, but she restrained herself immediately, and said: "Aiqing is able to worry about the country and the people at the time of national crisis, and live up to the mission of the imperial censor. admonish." Cixi nodded to him with satisfaction, thinking to herself, those who support me at the pass, Aijia must use him again. Cixi deliberately added another sentence: "The strong wind knows the strong grass, and the troubled times know the loyal and treacherous!" She stared at her confidant minister again, and this trick really worked, Prince Qing, who was the first to glance at her, hurriedly expressed his opinion. "The old minister supports the queen mother to listen to the government." Duan Wang Zaiyi quickly took two steps on his knees, and said loudly: "Chen Zaiyi begs the Queen Mother to educate you." Cixi thought: after all, cronies are different from others. She looked at the kneeling ministers again, and then several expressed their support for the empress dowager's political training. The Empress Dowager Cixi felt complacent, and pretended to say: "Since everyone pushes me to educate the government, then I can't refuse, so as not to disappoint everyone's expectations. In fact, the Ai family has no choice but to do it. Why doesn't the Ai family want to spend the rest of their lives in the Summer Palace... ..." Li Lianying read the emperor's edict: Instruct the cabinet.Now that the country's affairs are difficult and common affairs are waiting to be taken care of, I work hard all day long, and I take care of all kinds of opportunities every day.Respectfully going back to the reign of Tongzhi, Empress Dowager Cixi... the empress dowager twice listened to the government behind the curtain, and handled the government affairs, and the macro economy was difficult, and everything was perfect.Because it is the most important thing to remember the Zongshe, I have repeatedly appealed to be kind and educate the government, and to look up and bow down as requested. This is the blessing of the subjects of the world.From today onwards, work in the hall.On the eighth day of the first month of this month, I led the princes and ministers to salute at the Hall of Qinzheng (the Hall of Renshou in the Summer Palace).This is it. Li Lianying brought a stool to Emperor Guangxu and sat in the lower left corner of Cixi. From then on, Cixi began to listen to the government behind the curtain for the third time, and this time was the most thorough and explicit, because it was for an adult emperor. Cixi glanced at Emperor Guangxu who was sitting next to the imperial court and said to the ministers: "The Ai family has already handed over the power to the emperor, and he has gone to the Summer Palace to spend his life. Unexpectedly, the emperor has not tried to be orthodox recently, and has listened to Kang Youwei and others. What kind of reforms have caused the Qing court to have no rules and regulations, and the ancestral system is in chaos..." Cixi glared at Emperor Guangxu and said: "Recently, the emperor has become more and more violent. He has dismissed a few of my old ministers outrageously, and now it has developed to the point where he wants to punish important officials and harm Ai's family. Is it tolerable? Is it unbearable?! Of course I don't blame the emperor at all, I just blame the Ai family for being too indulgent to him and letting him go. Now I have to reorganize the mountains and rivers under the unanimous request of all the love ministers, otherwise the ancestral family law left by my ancestors in the Qing Dynasty will be destroyed. It's all over. Dear friends, tell me what to do now?" "To the Empress Dowager, Kang Youwei, the leader of the rebellious party, should be punished and driven out of the court." Prince Huaitabu, who was dismissed by Emperor Guangxu, said hoarsely, and gave Emperor Guangxu a fierce look. Prince Qing Yikuang also knelt down and said: "I ask the Empress Dowager to uphold justice, reinstate all those who have been abolished, and restore all the disordered patriarchal clan system." Empress Dowager Cixi let out a "huh" and nodded, then turned to the emperor sitting at her feet and said, "The emperor has to issue two more edicts: the second one is to arrest the Kang Party and severely punish it..." "No... no, they are not guilty, they are for the power of the country, and they are not to be slaughtered by foreigners." "Your Majesty..." Empress Dowager Cixi yelled at Emperor Guangxu with a fierce look in her eyes. Emperor Guangxu trembled all over. This roar seemed to be the one he heard eight years ago when he was about to throw a ruyi handle to Concubine Zhen when he was choosing a concubine. Emperor Guangxu was desperate, his mind suddenly went blank, and he muttered He said: "Follow the order to arrest..." Cixi didn't know whether she heard it or not, so she immediately said: "Did you hear that, the emperor has issued an order to arrest them and bring them to justice. Rong Zhongtang, go and handle it quickly." "Yes." Rong Lu stepped forward to accept the order. Cixi then announced: "The third edict: the reform edict issued by the emperor since the reform, has been rectified again." "The emperor is talking!" Cixi shot a majestic look at Emperor Guangxu. "My son obeys the order." Emperor Guangxu shed tears in pain... Some of the courtiers looked proud, while others bowed their heads and sighed. After the announcement of the three imperial decrees, the Empress Dowager Cixi thought that the purpose had been achieved, and the emperor's decoration was too obtrusive, so she glanced at him bitterly and cursed: "Emperor, I think you look bad, is it because you are restless? Retire and recuperate. Li Lianying, attendant of the imperial physician." "yes." "Retire..." Empress Dowager Cixi announced. "Slow down, I have something to report." Cixi, who had already got up, trembled when she heard this, and the ministers were taken aback when they heard it, and when they turned around, they saw Yang Shenxiu, the censor, kneeling with the memorial in his hand, about to report it. Cixi turned her head around slowly, and sat down again. He knew that Yang Shenxiu belonged to the reformist school, but he couldn't allow him to report, so he had to say: "Speak." There are mistakes, but not to the point of being abolished, the emperor should think about his mistakes while returning to politics, there cannot be two days in the sky, the emperor is the lord of a country, and he should sit on the right seat." Yang Shenxiu asked loudly again: "Why did the emperor want to be abolished? Queen Mother, please stop listening to the government behind the curtain, otherwise the rooster sits in the morning, and the country will surely perish." Cixi was so angry that she trembled all over, her face was livid, and the ministers were all shocked when they heard this, their faces were like ashes... The Empress Dowager Cixi paused, then sneered, and said slowly, gnashing her teeth: "A good day can't last for two days, and you still want the emperor to come back to the throne to mess up the court and destroy Zongji... The sky can't last for two days ,... well said,... there can't be two days..." The Empress Dowager Cixi was so angry that her seven orifices were smoking, any ancestral family law, as long as it hinders my power, I will get rid of it all!So he sneered again, and said: "It's all you rebellious officials and thieves who have bewitched the emperor. The emperor has become so chaotic, and you want him to return to power. Excuse me! The world belongs to the Qing Dynasty, and the Ai family is the Qing Dynasty." The Empress Dowager, the Ai family has the power to set up and abolish the emperor, and I set up the emperor, but I can also abolish him..." The more Cixi spoke, the more excited she became. She slapped the case with her right hand and shouted: "Yang Shenxiu, as a censor, you not only did not supervise and admonish the emperor for violating the imperial regulations and destroying the ancestral system, but instead sheltered and indulged him. Do you think you are loyal? !, What a Yang Shenxiu, you regard chaos as right and wrong as right, are you still worthy of being a censor? I wanted to ask you a long time ago, but now...but you jumped out by yourself. Come on, give me this The leader of the accomplice of the rebellious party, sent to death row!" Yang Shenxiu has long put life and death aside. He knows how many honest admonishers have not been beheaded throughout the ages, and he also knows that it is useless anyway, so he looked up to the sky and sighed: "It seems that our Qing Dynasty is really coming to an end." .” "Pull it out and send me to death row!" "yes." Only then did the ministers who were stunned by the scene wake up, their faces all pale and bloodless. Two guards came up and tore off Yang Shenxiu's top hat and dragged him away. "Empress Dowager Cixi, you are the one who truly chaotic the government by killing the admonisher...you...you will be judged by history!" The Empress Dowager Cixi was so angry that she almost fainted, and it took a long time before she said word by word: "Well, today is really a time of chaos!" snort!Those who follow me prosper, those who oppose me perish.Today I want to let you all know what kind of person I am. "Retire." "yes." Empress Dowager Cixi walked away.Li Lianying and four eunuchs escorted the tearful Emperor Guangxu out. The princes and ministers scattered like birds and beasts in panic...
