"So that's the case. Because of this, Emperor Guangxu cannot die or be defeated. He can neither be allowed to regain his power nor be completely brought to an end..."

Zhang Kun's eyes flashed slightly, and he finally understood the operations of Tan Weixin, Da Dao Wang Wu and others.

Like dancing on the tip of a knife.

It is both contradictory and entangled, and there is no turning back.

This also explains why Tan Weixin, Yang Shen, Kang Huairen and other later Six Gentlemen were so decisive.

And why do the martial arts figures such as the Great Sword King and the Five Kings behave in different ways...

Sometimes he supported the Qing court, helped with the reform, and helped fight foreigners; sometimes he joined the Yihequan, followed the rebellion, and killed the officials and soldiers of the court.

It was simply a mess, with no specific stance at all.

If you clear away the deep fog, you can see it.

This group of people actually pretend to be the common people and protect China, not the barbarian Qing Dynasty.

"The world is a world of people, not a world of one family and one surname."

They are among the thousands of Han slaves who have awakened early.

This is another world, some secrets not mentioned in history books.

Because times are different, the environment is different, and the ideology is also different.

That world was a unified and powerful country, where the nationalities were integrated without distinction between each other, and the people of all ethnic groups were brothers and sisters.

Anyone who engages in opposition will naturally be a sinner of the country.

Some things will never be said again, and some words will never be mentioned again.

I talked too much and was a little inappropriate.

However, this era and this world are different.

Don't say that Zhang Kun didn't learn history well. Even if he learned it well, he couldn't see clearly or think clearly.

It was only now that I was in this world, looking at characters and current situations that were very similar to the development of the original world, that I finally understood...

It turns out that since the barbarians entered the customs, some Chinese people and Han people have never forgotten their hatred.

He has been secretly accumulating strength and cultivating outstanding people, with the intention of overthrowing this foreign court in one fell swoop and allowing the Han people who have been reduced to pigs and dogs to have a chance to raise their heads again.

These people grow and die like weeds, and will not be recorded in history, and no one will remember them.

He was born so ordinary, struggled silently, and died silently.

Hide all your thoughts deep in your heart...

Perhaps, even their closest relatives will not know this throughout their lives.

We can only get a glimpse of some clues from the life trajectories of certain people.

"Yes, Emperor Guangxu cannot die, nor can he be defeated."

Tan Weixin's face looked as ugly as if he had swallowed a fly, "Emperor Guangxu grew up in a deep palace and was raised in the hands of women. He didn't have much knowledge to begin with. Even if he later learned some imperial skills in governing the country and ministers,

Don’t become shrewd and sophisticated all of a sudden, it’s much easier to deal with than the Demon Queen of the West Palace.”

He paused and then said: "Moreover, this emperor has another flaw, that is, he has great ambitions..."

What kind of flaw is "having big ambitions"?

Zhang Kun understood it after thinking about it carefully.

Because Emperor Guangxu had great ambitions and wanted to strengthen his father and defeat his ancestors, he was not willing to be a puppet controlled by a woman in the palace.

He wants power, he wants to become the emperor of a truly powerful country where barbarians can rule for tens of thousands of years.

It's just the wrong time.

The desire in this man's heart had just been ignited, and he began to take control of the government and became emperor. Just when he was about to show off his talents, war broke out all over the country, and foreigners came in.

Lose a battle here, lose a battle there.

This treaty and that treaty were signed, and after cutting off the land and paying compensation, he found that he had nothing.

The money is gone and the country is poor...

As for his own reputation, he also became a prodigal son and a pustule emperor in the eyes of the world.

The scolding is not unjust at all. He is the emperor, and if the country is in such a state, it is not him who should be blamed.

Emperor Guangxu was holding back his anger.

I thought to myself, as long as I had control over personnel, financial power, military power, and diplomacy, I wouldn't have ended up like this.

Dissatisfaction also arose in my heart.

I want to strive for something and change something.

Otherwise, he was worried that if things went on like this, he, the emperor, might not be able to sit down.

Have you ever seen an emperor who only takes the blame but does not give power?

He has been taking the blame for a long time. In order to quell the resentment of the people all over the world, it seems that it is not impossible to change him.

There are so many children in the Xiren noble clan that they are not afraid of finding another person who will take the blame.

Got this idea.

It was natural for Emperor Guangxu to accept the Reform. He naturally had common interests with the Reform faction, especially with Kang Beihai and others.

Change, change, change, if you don't get rid of the person above you, and don't get rid of all the other party's cronies, how can he have autonomy?

Wanting to become the supreme emperor who truly ruled the world, Emperor Guangxu could do anything that went against common sense without objecting.

He could even sell his ancestors and his country.

No matter who.

As long as it can help him achieve this goal, it will be greatly reused.

Kang Beihai and Tan Weixin are all high-ranking officials with generous salaries.

The power of reform is given to you, and you can do whatever you want. The bigger the momentum, the better, and the stronger the helpers you can recruit, the better.

"If he is so easy to talk to now, he may not be so easy to talk to in the future."

Zhang Kun thought about it, and realized that some of the so-called emperors in history who could tolerate what others could not endure, and who endured hardships even though they were forced to endure hardships, had some idea of ​​what Emperor Guangxu was thinking.

"As long as he is obedient now, what will happen in the future? When all the people wake up, the world will be full of wars. Then we will see who owns this land of China."

A meaningful smile appeared on Tan Weixin's face.

He seemed to be able to see that scene, that angry flame, burning the world, this piece of China, red.

Once the opening for reform is opened, it can no longer be blocked.

"What happened when Mr. Wang's bodyguard entered the palace?"

In Zhang Kun's memory, there seems to be no deeds of Da Sword King Wu protecting the emperor. Could it be that the things he did after coming to this world caused a chain reaction.

"Concubine Zhen is dead."

Tan Weixin said in a deep voice.

"She died in a very dishonorable way. Not only was she accused of having an affair with her teacher Wen Shidu, but she was also said to have committed suicide out of fear of guilt. She threw herself into a deep well in the harem at night. By the time Emperor Guangxu found out, her body was already stiff.

.”

"Is this possible?"

This is not the right time either.

Zhang Kun was also a little unclear at this time, whether it was because the unofficial historian was just talking nonsense, or whether the world was in chaos after he arrived.

He vaguely knew something about Concubine Zhen.

I know that this person is the most beloved concubine of Emperor Guangxu. It seems that she also has a sister. Her story has been played on TV.

Of course, she is not the empress. Empress Longyu is the niece of the old Buddha. With the support of the empress dowager, she is in charge of everything for Emperor Guangxu. Therefore, she is neglected and is rarely seen again for a year.

This queen would often go to the West Palace to cry and shed tears all day long.

This may be Concubine Zhen's way of causing trouble.

Could it be?

Zhang Kun looked at Tan Weixin.

"After all, Concubine Zhen is still young, and she still has a girlish heart and loves Western learning. When I entered the palace, she often dressed in men's clothes and went out to meet guests. She would even take a Western camera to take pictures of the scenery and people, and sometimes she would discuss it with everyone.

A matter of reform."

"Moreover, some colleagues who do not take the imperial examination route will also follow her route and directly enter the imperial court through postings. This can be regarded as adding bricks and stones to the reform..."

Well, messing with the palace, not observing women's ethics, interfering in government affairs, buying and selling officials...

Zhang Kun could directly accuse Concubine Zhen of several major crimes.

Moreover, there is one of the biggest crimes, which is doting on concubines and destroying wives.
To be continued...
