I am tired from traveling around the world, and my heart is good at this time.

...

"Liang Dunyan, the new official takes office for three reasons. You dare to give me a warning on the first day!"

"My ministers are afraid. This is related to the dignity of the country, and ministers are in a hurry to follow their power..."

"It's a great thing to be in power, and it's not in vain that I will promote you to be the Minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs." Lin Guangyu frowned, "Which twelve countries is the minister?"

"Report to the emperor, namely England, France, Germany, Russia, America, Austria, Japan, Italy, Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands and the twelve countries of Belgium." Liang Dunyan was afraid that the emperor would not know the details, and then added, "He is the minister of the 12 most powerful countries in the world, 11 of which are signatories of the Xin Chou Treaty, and he is afraid that the visitors will be bad."

"I know." Lin Guangyu said coldly, "I will reply later, just focus on the translation."

In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, after the condolences were finished, the 12 ministers who received the notice were already waiting here under the leadership of the British Minister Jurden.

"The Emperor of the Qing Dynasty has arrived." With a shout, Lin Guangyu sat firmly in the hall and glanced at the people below the steps.

"Please bow to the ministers of all countries." One bow, two bows... It was not until five bows that the courtesy was completed. The Chinese may think that the foreign devils did not kneel down and kowtowed to the emperor, but in the eyes of foreigners, five bows were already a courtesy that was beyond the conventional courtesy.

"I wonder what the ministers meant to see me today?"

"Report to His Majesty the Emperor, this morning, we heard a lot of unfortunate news, including the passing of the Empress Dowager of your country, the fire on the palace affected innocent people... As a friendly country of the Qing Empire, our 12 countries came to express our most sincere greetings and condolences." As a Chinese master, Zhuerdian was able to communicate in fluent Chinese. "Just just now, we collectively went to the Empress Dowager of your country to pay condolences to express our most painful condolences."

"I am very grateful for the affection of all friendly countries. If the Empress Dowager knew that you miss her under the scent of the nine lunar calendar, she would definitely be very pleased."

"Your Majesty, today we have heard several unfortunate rumors, which have not been confirmed so far. We have not received a clear answer when asked about the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. I hope you can help us understand the situation."

"Speaking."

"Later night last night, the fire suddenly caught fire in the direction of the palace. The fire was very fierce and it was not extinguished until dawn today. Is the situation very serious? Can you tell us what caused it?"

Typical internal affairs intervention! Lin Guangyu was angry, but his face was calm, and he said slowly: "The fire did catch a fire in Da'ai last night, causing certain losses. Dozens of houses were burned down, and more than 10 people were killed or injured in the fire... including the Minister of Military Affairs and Minister of Foreign Affairs Yuan Shikai."

"Ah..." Everyone whispered, but Lin Guangyu knew that they were pretending, and these omnipotent ministers who did everything were probably getting the news long ago.

"No wonder we didn't see Mr. Yuan just now." Zhu Erdian couldn't help but start wiping his tears with his handkerchief. "Mr. Yuan is a recognized diplomat from all countries and has made outstanding achievements. He has won the trust of all diplomatic envoys. I would like to express my sincere condolences on behalf of the entire mission for his unfortunate death."

"Thank you for your greetings. I am also very sad. I have sent an order to bury Duke Yuan with great honor and entrusted Prince Qing Yili to go to the Yuan family on behalf of me to express my condolences." Lin Guangyu had to pretend to be very sad.

"Did the arson killer catch it?"

"Murderer? No, you must have made a mistake. This fire was an accident. My Minister of Military Affairs and the Minister of the Interior have resigned for this. Although the cause of the fire has not been determined, no one believes that this is a deliberate arson, especially in the heavily guarded palace. This situation is simply impossible."

"We heard the rumors but said that some forces that were not conducive to Lord Yuan were cleverly leading the entire process."

"I hope you don't believe any rumors." Lin Guangyu lowered his face, "Although there are various opposition forces in the customs country, accidents have indeed occurred on some occasions, such as the bomb incident of five ministers who went abroad to inspect in 1905, and the assassination of Enming in 1907, but in general, the palace is very safe and has sufficient security."

"The mission has discussed and believes that in order to prevent such tragic events from happening again, countries are willing to draw the country's most elite guards, including firefighters, to serve as escorts of the palace."

He actually wanted to monitor the emperor?! Liang Dunyan, who was listening on the side, was almost angry. Although Lin Guangyu's face looked ugly, he still replied calmly: "I heard that the 13th king of Spain was assassinated at the wedding two years ago..."

"Yes, the emperor, this is indeed true." Liang Dunyan suddenly understood something and quickly continued the conversation.

"I heard that at the beginning of this year, King Carlos I of Portugal and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince were both assassinated."

"Yes, the emperor, this is indeed true."

"So, have the countries already provided the most elite defense forces, including firefighters, to His Majesty Alfonso? Are they already defending the Portuguese royal family?..."

"This..." Zhu Erdian was blocked by this sentence and couldn't speak awkwardly.

The ministers of Spain and Portugal were already blushing, but they could not argue.

The French Minister took over Juerdian's words: "Not long ago, I heard the Empress Dowager of your country mention that Your Majesty is not in good health and is looking for famous doctors across the country. Now it seems that Your Majesty's health has been completely recovered, and I am particularly happy for Your Majesty."

Liang Dunyan's fists were clenched tightly. Isn't this openly sowing the relationship between the Empress Dowager and the Emperor? Even if everyone in the world knows that the Empress Dowager and the Emperor have conflicts, it is not appropriate to propose such occasions at such a time. The French minister was completely provoking.

"It's nothing. I always think that I'm not sick, but I'm just a little mentally repressed." Lin Guangyu smiled. "Nine years ago, the doctor of your country, Dr. Dodefu, diagnosed my illness for me. I still remember what he said at that time - 'The emperor is not sick at all. It's not the emperor's body that gets sick, but the politics of this huge empire.' For this sentence, I have been thinking hard in Yingtai for nine years, recuperating and recuperating for nine years, and finally formed a way to fundamental change in this country. I think even if there is some mental repression in thinking, all the ministers can understand..."

The emperor has changed his nature? Isn't it the reckless emperor who is always furious and vents his anger on others? Zhu Erdian and the ministers of various countries fell into deep thought, and the hall was quite quiet for a moment.

"To this day, I have finally fully understood the state affairs and thought through everything in the past, and my spirit is naturally no longer so repressed. However, I have always remembered my contribution to Dr. Dodeffort. Mr. Minister, I will give Dr. Dodeffort a medal of a despise country through you to fully express my gratitude. If the doctor himself is willing, I am very willing to hire him as my personal doctor."

"This is his honor. I will telegram him tomorrow, hoping that he can come and receive this medal in person." The French minister has been circled in, and I don't know what he wanted to say when he was aggressive just now.

"So your majesty, can you tell all countries what you have thought clearly?" asked the American Minister Roukeyi.

"There are three items in total. First, promote the new policy. Second, step up the constitutional establishment. Third, and the most important one, pay attention to the method..." This was translated by Liang Dunyan. The people in the hall were very familiar with the first and second items, and everyone was singing the third item, what is the method of paying attention to it?

Lin Guangyu didn't want to give them a chance to ask questions anymore. He gestured to Liang Dunyan with his eyes. The latter understood: "Because His Majesty the Emperor was busy with national affairs and guarded the Empress Dowager, he had not had a rest for a night and was extremely tired. If you don't have any special things, you can still ask for a meeting after the National Mourning Ceremony..."

The 12-country mission, who was trying to take power when the emperor first took power, did not get any advantage and left in shame. The news spread, both the extreme conservatives and the enlightened faction shouted loudly to the emperor's reply - it was so exciting to see the foreign devils being defeated!

After all, Yi Li and Na Tong, who were uneasy, did not do it after all. In order to discuss the national funeral ceremony, they had to salivate and invite Zhang Zhidong and officials from various halls of the Ministry of Rites. With the joint efforts of everyone, they finally drafted the etiquette of the ceremony and prepared to present it to the emperor for a review. Zaifeng had already reviewed it before the presentation, but he could not give any comments, so he would only say good and ask the emperor to decide.

Yi Li had just handed over the note, and Zhang Zhidong suddenly thought of something: "There is something that is as usual, so please let the emperor take lenient treatment."

"What's the matter?"
