Chapter 11 How much love can be repeated

On the seventh day of the fifth lunar month in Dingwei year, it was an ordinary summer in Beijing, with blue sky, white clouds and gentle breeze. This was a day that Qu Hongxuan would never forget. Ministers of military affairs came to the office early, waiting for the imperial edict from the Forbidden City.After a while, the imperial edict came down, which read, "Co-organize the University Scholars, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Minister of Military Affairs, Qu Hongxuan secretly notified the office, instructed the officials, secretly recruited foreign aid, distributed party members...opened vacancies to return to their hometowns, as a show of punishment."

Leaking state secrets to foreign hostile forces ("The Times"), this alone can leave.Now ordering him to retire and return to his hometown is considered a slight punishment, so thank you quickly. Qu Hongxu glanced around briefly, but said nothing. He had already heard about the ups and downs of the past few days.He put on the whole crown and went inside to give thanks as usual. Cixi also didn't say a word, news of high-level personnel changes had spread all over the capital, foreign envoys came to ask every day, Yiqian came to kowtow every day, Si Gege cried every day, Qu Hongxu had to leave.But the relationship of so many years is really a bit reluctant.After a long time, Cixi sighed and said only one sentence: "You are not young anymore, go home and have a good rest."

Qu Hongxu returned to the office, looked around at her colleagues, seemed to be feeling infinitely sad, and suddenly raised her fist to everyone: "Everyone, goodbye." Back home, there are still two glasses of small wine, but the pig's trotters are omitted, and I don't feel like eating.He just kept chanting: "We lost, we lost, we lost from the very beginning." This result should have been expected long ago, Mr. Qu, wouldn't it be nice to wake up earlier?You don't want to fight so many South China tigers, but you choose to fight the real tigers who are the guardians of the master's house. This is destined to be a silent ending: leave silently.

Remember, corruption never determines the fate of the country, but the ass always determines the head. If the ass sits in the right direction, your thinking will be correct, and you will never lose. Now both of them are about to move, Qu Hongxu moved back to his old home, and Yun Yuding moved to a new home, of course it is said that this is a welfare housing. Before leaving, Qu Hongxu still wanted to see the old lady again, and wanted to cry with her again.But the old lady made up her mind this time and didn't want to cry.Meeting will only increase sadness, and meeting is not as good as nostalgia.The old lady bid farewell to her "son" who made her cry the most in her life with poetic words.

Some people were not convinced by Qu Hongxu's treatment. His old subordinate Lin Shaonian went to Shu, so hastily dismissing a minister of military aircraft, how could he convince others?They demanded to re-investigate the case and thoroughly investigate whether Qu Hongxu had violated the law or discipline. Cixi sneered: "Lin wants to investigate, but I don't know how to investigate?" Don't you agree?Okay, you go too, Lin Shaonian was sent to Henan immediately. Is there anyone who disagrees? Qu Hongxuan has long been convinced, he knows that no one can change what Cixi decides, so why bother to be bored.

Well, now that you are convinced, let's go on the road. Qu Hongxuan is about to leave, so don't rush away, read a letter, Yuan Shikai's condolence letter: Master Qu, I know that the imperial court expects too much from you, and you are not allowed to make any mistakes.The desire for love is deep, and the desire for responsibility is severe, so I demote you.I know that adults are indifferent to fame and wealth and regard wealth as floating clouds. You are not afraid of being demoted, and you don't care.But I care, very much.Since then, I have lost a good teacher and helpful friend who always helped me in the capital. Once you leave, how can I deal with the turbulent and treacherous political situation?Alas, pain, quite a pain.Thousands of words turned into one sentence, go all the way, take care of your body.

How did Yuan Shikai switch to pure literature during this time, and how did he play it so well?Writing skills have improved by leaps and bounds, and each letter is more touching than each letter. However, Yuan Shikai should be kindly reminded: that is Qu Hongxuan's old profession.People, don't do it too badly, leave pure literature to Qu Hongxuan, otherwise what will he do at home when he retires? Finally set off, still at the Beijing Railway Station, Qu Hongxu looked at the Forbidden City in the distance, seemingly with infinite nostalgia.He straightened his clothes, knelt down and kowtowed three times towards the Forbidden City: "Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, the old minister can no longer serve." When he raised his head, tears were streaming down his face.

He knew that he was going to leave this hot land forever, and the old lady forever, forever and ever, don't ask how far forever is, in short, this life will go on like this forever. Sad parting, although the parting is in front of you; say goodbye, goodbye is really too far away. Let's go, everyone's eyes are sore.Because Qu Hongxu's story is about to end forever, and he will never appear on the political stage again.For so many days, his struggle, his eyes, and his tears have accompanied us to spend together, making us so unforgettable. Someone in the crowd of onlookers sighed slightly: Honest officials.

honest and upright official? !Qu Hongxu was startled, and smiled wryly. She seemed to have infinite emotions, infinite sadness, and heartfelt feelings, but she didn't know where to start. After a long time, she finally uttered eight words: Honest officials go on the road, and the world is peaceful! Qu Hongxuan left, but Cen Chunxuan was still waiting foolishly in Shanghai, waiting for the next time he acted like a baby and walked into the Forbidden City again. Cen San did not leave, everyone felt sorry, Yuan Shikai launched a more violent offensive. Someone has impeached Cen Chunxuan, who is also a censor.It is said that Cen Chunxuan was arrogant due to pampering, and he refused to be transferred many times. He openly disobeyed the highest instruction, which was rare in the Qing Dynasty for more than two hundred years. He also cited Cen Chunxuan's four major shortcomings: greed, violence, arrogance, and bullying.

Cixi smiled, I know Cen San best, and I know the four major shortcomings best. Greed: Cen Chunxuan is not that kind of person, I will give him any rare treasures he wants, why bother to secretly set up a small treasury and risk a death sentence with reprieve? Bao: He is called a butcher in official circles, as long as he is not a rainy night butcher who destroys flowers with his hands, it will be fine. His sharp knife is still effective in fighting South China tigers. Jiao: I dote on him, of course he is a little bit coquettish, which is understandable. Bullying: As long as you don't bully me, it's fine.

According to the old rules, the notes were kept and not published, and the censor was scolded. Cen Chunxuan is triumphant, no one can bring me down, so you can just toss around there. It seems that the real thing is not going to work, the most powerful shooter is here. It was still Yun Yuding, who shot a gun at Qu Hongxu, even he himself did not think of it, "It is unprecedented for a young minister to dismiss him immediately without pending investigation."History is so easy to create.Now he will make persistent efforts and shoot the sharpest shot. Yuan Shikai's secret envoy brought two more envelopes, one containing banknotes and the other containing memorials.Yun Yuding felt a little nervous this time, could he bring down the person Cixi was most grateful for in his life?But since the maiden's first shot had already been fired, the others could only follow suit. After the paperwork was handed over, Yun Yuding was suffering from anxiety all the time. After a few days, the result came out. Yun Yuding took a look and knelt on the ground, singing softly: Thank God, thank you, since I became a shooter, miracles happen every day, and Cen Chunxuan finally fell down. The decree is just a few simple words: Cen Chunxuan asked for a vacancy due to illness before, and has repeatedly rewarded leave. Now that the holiday is over, he has not yet reported to leave, and the supervisor has not recovered from his illness.The places in Guangdong and Guangxi are urgent, and the shortage of personnel will be long-term.Cen Chunxuan took care of the lack of peace of mind to show his compassion.This is it. Aren't you complaining about being sick all day long?Alright, the queen mother and the emperor are sympathetic to you, now go home and have a good rest. What exactly did Yun Yuding write that had such a miraculous effect that it completely defeated Cen Chunxuan overnight?Usually the decree of dismissal would explain the reasons for dismissal, but this time it did not mention a word, which is very rare. After checking the archives of the Qing Palace, neither the original memorial nor the copy can be found, and the various archives of the Military Aircraft Department are not registered. This can only explain one problem, Cixi does not want people to know, this is a secret that cannot be revealed. Cen Chunxuan was also thinking hard over there.Why is that?Why?Anyway, let me know how I got down. If I had known, I would write a leave note first, and I have a lot of them at home.Change as you say, the old lady has never been like this to me. Everyone rumored that the cause was a photo, to put it mildly, Cen Chunxuan's jade photo. When the photo was sent to the Forbidden City, Cixi was very touched. Cen San didn't forget to send me a commemorative photo before leaving. I didn't expect the big man to be very careful. Cen Chunxuan stood in the middle of the photo with a smile, and then looked to the sides, the old lady almost lost her breath.Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao, the protagonists of the Reform Movement of 1898, stood beside Cen Chunxuan smilingly. They are now wanted and exiled in Japan. Just take the photo, and still laugh so happily?Just happy, but it was delivered to me?Are you still looking at me with a smile?You hurt me, but you didn't laugh it off, you still hurt me in the photo, it looks like you want to die for me! Because of the Reform Movement of 1898, Cixi and Guangxu were separated for a lifetime, and what Cixi hated most in her life was Kang and Liang. After a long time, she sighed, Cen San actually betrayed me, is there any reason in the world?He owes me, and I don't owe him. Didn't he say that he was in poor health? Now, let's really go home and recuperate. Would Cen Chunxuan be so stupid to take a photo with the two people Cixi hates the most? The answer is no. As for the smiling photo, you know, the modern term is PS, which was directed by Yuan Shikai.Cen San, accept your fate, who told you to catch up with the wave of the second industrial revolution?The high-end technology that stands at the forefront will sweep you away ruthlessly, so let's make a contribution to the development of modern photography technology. However, another problem emerged.Since Cen Chunxuan would not be so stupid, would Cixi be so stupid as to trust a photo naively? of course not. She is a woman with a strong hand who has ruled China for half a century. She has brought down countless heroes in her life, and Cixi is the best photographer in her later years. She should have heard of the so-called synthesis technology. To untie the bell, the person who tied it has to be unlocked. To unravel all the secrets, one must start with the gunman Yun Yuding. His diary finally revealed all the secrets: Arrived at the museum at nine o'clock, returned to the apartment at the beginning, closed the house and wrote the seal, and impeached Cen Chunxuan, the governor of Guangdong, who refused to serve the court, retreated to Shanghai, colluded with Kang Youwei, Liang Qichao, and Mai Menghua to stay in the apartment, plotting to overthrow the court. Suspicious. …Kang and Liang came from Japan, and Japan incited my overseas students with the theory of suppressing the revolution, making them leave the motherland, taking the snipe and clam for the fisherman, and forcing the Han emperor to Zen, and robbing his sovereignty, which is really cunning , Yu fears that Cen will use Japan to tilt the court, and China will perish.We have to tell the truth about the change, and the Ji court is secretly preparing for it. This is the original text of Yun Yuding's impeachment of Cen Chunxuan. After careful analysis, Yun Yuding, you gunman is too poisonous. Yun Yuding deliberately laid two lines, one inside and one outside, to bring down Cen Chunxuan. Neijie Kang, Liang, and the national A-level wanted criminals Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao have been secretly dealing with each other.It doesn't matter much to be with Kang and Liang, and many ministers have secret dealings with them.The deadliest thing is "Cen borrowed Japan to overthrow the court".Kang and Liang lived in exile in Japan for a long time and had close relations with the Japanese government and the opposition.After the Sino-Japanese War, Japan became the most threatening power to China, and it had the strength to interfere or even change China's political structure. And what has Japan done recently? "It is very cunning and cruel to force Han Huang's inner Zen to fight against his sovereignty."Just forced the king of North Korea to "abdicate the throne".Is it going to repeat the old trick again, forcing Cixi to return to power and retire? Everyone has their own hatred and fear. Cixi is most afraid of delegating power, and hates Kang and Liang the most.The most powerful bullet fired by the gunman finally detonated all the hatred and fear in Cixi's heart. You are smart, you should understand by now that Qu Hongxuan's so-called disclosure of state secrets is just a cover.The key reason is that he once recommended Kang and Liang, and now he has formed an alliance with Cen Chunxuan, which cannot but make Cixi suspicious. There are many ways to bring down a person in politics, such as corruption, corruption, leaks, photos, and even pornography, etc., but there is only one reason: you are disobedient. A gang fight sparked by a woman ended with the fall of two men. One more thing to add is that Yang Cuixi, who was so popular in the limelight, later returned to his old career and continued to wander in the world of mortals.Poor woman, although your name is on the highest instruction, you are still wandering in the wind and dust. Women, no matter where your name is engraved, it is not as good as being engraved in the heart of a man. It's all over, there's no real winner in this brawl because everyone's tired. Cixi is tired, this seventy-two-year-old lady no longer trusts outsiders, only trusts family members, who are caring.Since then, the young second-generation nobles have been pushed onto the political stage historically. Yikuang was tired and old, and his body couldn't bear such a toss, so he voluntarily handed in his resignation letter. Yuan Shikai was also tired. He commented on this political tide in a letter to his close friends: "People's hearts are too dangerous, it's really scary." When a person feels scared, his heart starts to get tired.
