There was a sarcastic sound in Wanshou Temple.

The palace maids and eunuchs who accompanied him had to cry, while Longyu, Li Lianying, Cui Yugui and others cried for themselves. Even Longyu became the queen because of Cixi. Although she was not happy at all when she was doing this queen, what should she do in the future when Cixi died? She was helpless and just waited for Li Lianying to take care of her, she came to her senses and said choked: "Now...what should I do now?"

The eunuchs cannot interfere in the affairs of the court. Li Lianying was nervous, knowing that every word he said at this time would have a great impact on the future. The Lord Buddha died. According to the principle, Guangxu should have come out of the mountain. However, since Wuxu, Guangxu's direct descendants were either demoted or exempted, and they were no longer in the court. Once Guangxu came out of the mountain, the court would not know what chaos would be. Of course, if Empress Longyu had the skills of Lord Buddha, it would be better to go back to the curtain to rule the country again, but she was not such a person.

When Li Lianying was thinking about it, Cui Yugui next to him winked at Xiao De Zhang. Xiao De Zhang saw the opportunity and knelt down and said, "If you say that, if such a big thing happens, you should ask Prince Qing and Duke Zhen to discuss it."

Xiao Dezhang is Cui Yugui's man, and Cui Yugui is the murderer who forced Concubine Zhen to death in the Gengzi year. He had said before, "Old Buddha lives for one day, I will live for one day." Now the empress dowager is dead. In panic, he couldn't help but think about pulling King Yili over to him. He is also a minister of the empress dowager. If he gets the news first and then conspires with Yuan Shikai to find something, or kills Guangxu, or still puts him under house arrest, it is better than Guangxu coming out of the mountain.

Li Lianying knew what they thought after hearing what Xiao De Zhang said, and immediately said, "Go back to the master, the empress dowager, you should call all the military ministers here, so that things can be discussed properly." He has always been cautious and dared not have any slight bias in his words, but just spoke according to normal rules.

Seeing the two eunuchs has different meanings. Longyu also guessed two endings, one was called King Qing and his brother-in-law Zaize, so Guangxu would probably never see the light of heaven, and the other was called Minister of Military Affairs. Although the factions of Minister of Military Affairs were different, Guangxu came out and took the word "Li". Even if Yi Li had other ideas, he dared not make any transcendent moves in front of everyone.

"Go... go..., come here to the Duke of Zhenguo." Longyu was in a dilemma, and at a loss, he felt that only his brother-in-law was the most reliable. And he was in Langrun Garden at this time, and it was the closest to the ten miles and it took at most half an hour to travel back and forth.

Longyu chose Zaize in a nervous mood, and when Zaize heard the news, he rushed to Wanshou Temple. Yuan Shikai, who was in the Tianjin government office, received a call from Zhao Bingjun in Beijing. The telegram was vague and said that the Imperial Guard was moving. When he called Yang Shiqi to discuss, the second telegram came, saying that the Buddha was stabbed and suspected that he had died. Yuan Shikai shook all over when he saw these words. He couldn't help but sigh, "I am dead!" Then he looked blind and sat on the chair.

The telegram slid down from Yuan Shikai's hand. Yang Shiqi went up to take it without regard for his misconduct. After seeing it, his face turned pale. Although Cixi was wary of suppressing Beiyang everywhere, she was still the backer of Beiyang. Now that the backer has fallen, Beiyang...

"Gong Bao... Gong Bao... Gong Bao!" Yang Shiqi called out three times in a row before Yuan Shikai came to his senses. Seeing him like this, he hurriedly said: "For the sake of the present, we should discuss with Donghai and King Qing. It is absolutely not a solution to sit and wait for death!"

Yuan Shikai was completely lost. Now that he is constitutional, Guangxu’s reputation is unparalleled for a while, let alone foreigners’ support for him. At this time, when he comes out again, the people’s morale is at its peak. What else can he do to lead troops into Beijing?!

"Well. Go and do it." Yuan Shikai replied after a while.

When Yang Shiqi saw that he agreed, he immediately wrote a telegram and asked Yuan Shikai to go out to handle it immediately. While he was busy, an idea came up in his heart.

"Gong Bao, Xiao Gong Wang Fu Wei seems to have a good relationship with Zai Beizi since childhood."

"That's it." Yuan Shikai savored the meaning of his words, and his godless eyes seemed to be able to see something.

"If so..." Yang Shiqi was nervous, and only said at the end: "If Xiao Gong can ascend to the great treasure, then we Beiyang will have passed this disaster."

What Yang Shiqi said was shocking. Yuan Shikai jumped up from the chair with a "wow" sound and said anxiously: "Is this... OK?"

"Just do it. To solve today's situation, there should be three strategies for the top, middle and lower. The best strategy is to replace it, so that King Gong Fu Wei or Bei Zi Fulun can be taken over; the middle strategy is to quickly open a parliament, use constitutionalism to implement the British system of virtual kings, and put all power in the cabinet. Even if Guangxu is in power, he will not be able to do anything; the worst strategy is..." Yang Shiqi pondered, and Yuan Shikai saw him like this and shouted: "Tell me!"

He finally said resolutely: "In the Palace of Guidance," he made a chopping gesture, and then said: "Then take advantage of the chaos to raise an army, either control the court, or take... and... to replace it."

When Yuan Shikai heard this, he immediately said, "The worst strategy is not to be done. The great powers look around, and the people's wisdom gradually grows. If I kill Guangxu, what kind of face do I have to gain a foothold in the court? How can those officers and soldiers under my command be willing to submit to me? Since I can rebel, can Duan Qirui, Ma Longbiao, Zhang Yongcheng and others also rebel? China's affairs have always been incorrect and the words are not satisfactory. Don't mention this strategy again!"

Yang Shiqi nodded quickly and said yes. In fact, he also wanted to test Yuan Shikai's character. If he really made a bad decision, he would have to try him. "Since he took the two upper and middle strategies, he would have to control the capital first in the name of conspiracy and rebellion. Even if Xiao Gong cannot take the throne, he can let Prince Qing take charge of the court and announce the convening of the parliament immediately."

If it is conspiracy to replace Guangxu with Xiao Gong Fu Wei, then Xu Jun Lixian and the quick opening of the National Assembly are conspiracies. As long as the Congress is held, the gentry will be satisfied; and the governors - at the meeting to compile the official system a few days ago, Tie Liang and others mean to abolish the position of governor, while Yuan Shikai means to abolish the Military Affairs Office. Once the Congress is held, then the governors will not move, they will be satisfied; then foreigners, to foreigners... Yuan Shikai thought of this and said, "No matter what, foreigners still need to support this matter."

"Kang Bao, what foreigners care about is nothing more than rights and interests. By then, they will definitely have no objection. The key now is to mobilize troops into the capital."

There is no country in politics. Sometimes foreigners are robbers, but sometimes foreigners are priests. Now that Beiyang is at stake, foreigners have long changed from robbers carrying guns and firing cannons into friendly and kind priests. Yuan Shikai has been able to reach his current position, and these things have long been integrated into the bones. He raised his head and thought for a moment, and said, "Hey, in order to please Lord Lao Fu, he made a constitutional decision for twelve years. He really shot himself in the foot!" After he sighed, he said, "Let the patrol police in Tianjin enter Beijing, and the guns are also installed. Also, check where Guangxu is, is it in the capital or in the Summer Palace?"

Yang Shiqi wrote down what he said and said, "What should I do with Liangchen? Should I send someone there?" Liangchen is Zhao Guoxian, who is now the commander of the Sixth Town of Beiyang. The Sixth Town is stationed in Nanyuan, Beijing, twenty miles away from the Forbidden City and fifty miles away from the Summer Palace. Once the situation changes, it can immediately control the capital.

Before he said this, Yuan Shikai was actually thinking about the Sixth Town. In the first month of this year, Wang Shizhen was dismissed, and Zhao Guoxian, the former commander of Suwei Camp, also served as the commander of the Sixth Town. Although this man was from Henan, his mind was completely loyal to the emperor and patriotism. It would be difficult to persuade him to make a ban. Even if Zhao Guoxian agreed, the soldiers below did not dare to do this. People in the world said that this Beiyang was Yuan Shikai's Beiyang, but they did not know that the Beiyang officers and soldiers were not loyal to him.

The leader is fine. Once you get to the teams, platoons and sheds below, you won’t be like this. The more uneducated the soldiers, the less they will think about it. There is no revolutionary thought, but there is a large area of ​​"preserving the royal family and loyalty to the emperor". Yuan Shikai thought of this festival and said, "It is better to find King Su than to find a good minister. Although the infantry commander is Na Tong, he is likely to stand on our side, but the more than 20,000 police officers are now all turned into patrol police. All of them are under the jurisdiction of King Su. If he wants to make a difference in the capital, he can’t get around this level."

The largest force in the capital was the two wings and five battalions under the infantry commanding yamen. It was fine if there were no patrol officers before. Since the appointment of King Su, and the affairs of the revolutionary party Wu Yue, those police officers have been converted into patrol officers. Although the Minister of the Patrol Office was Xu Shichang, the officials below were still from King Su, Shanqi;

"It's probably very difficult for King Su to come." Yang Shiqi shook his head and said, "I heard that King Su is related to Kang Liang overseas."

"What can I do if there is any connection? He is just greedy for the word "power". In this situation, it is not bad to say that he will be the prime minister of the cabinet after the convening of the parliament." After Yuan Shikai was frightened, the momentum in his heart came back. In the complex relationship, he could always find the most critical string.

"What should I do if King Qing?" After all, Yang Shiqi was still an aide, and he was not as decisive as Yuan Shikai's killing.

"It's time now, King Qing can't take care of it!" Yuan Shikai shouted loudly. He was anxious in his heart. He didn't call him King Qing Yili, who called him King Qing. He directly called him King Qing.

Yang Shiqi heard this and nodded quickly. In addition to the patrol officers of the infantry commander's yamen, there were also Jianrui Camp and Suwei Camp in the capital. One of these troops was in the hands of Zaifeng and the other was in the hands of Zhao Guoxian. Although Zhao Guoxian might not have saved Guangxu, in the end, Zaifeng was Guangxu's younger brother. If Guangxu was saved all of a sudden, then the subsequent things would not be easy to deal with.

The focus of the capital suddenly gathered on Zaize and Shanqi. If Zaize did not want Guangxu to come out of the mountain, then Guangxu would probably die in prison for life or die for no reason, and then Xiao Gong Wang Fuwei or Bei Zi Fulun would take over; if Shanqi defected to the Qingyuan Yishen, even if Guangxu came out of the mountain, more than 20,000 patrol officers from Shuntian Capture Camp could crush the Suwei Camp. At this time, King Su was discussing with Yao Xiguang, Wu Luzhen and others about going to Mongolia tomorrow, and Zaize was thinking about what to do after Longyu cried and cried.

"For the sake of the present, I still have to keep the emperor out of the mountain." Leaving the Zen temples of others, Zai Ze had to say this. When Guangxuan was about to be determined by these princes and princes, Baile, who had to do things in a decisive manner, he would have to count Zai Ze. However, this decisive situation often would be a mistake. In 1910, the eraser stocks collapsed completely, which was caused by Zai Ze, and Sheng Xuanhuai came out again and finally promoted the reform of state-owned railways, which was also supported by Zai Ze. Between the people's hearts and interests, he valued more interests, and those who only saw the interests were often very decisive in their actions.

"This..." Unexpectedly, the closest person actually supported the emperor's out of the mountain. Longyu was a little surprised by his words, and wanted to ask but didn't know where to ask.

Fortunately, Zai Ze also saw what she meant and said: "Now Qingyuan and others control the government, and the country will not be in power. But now the empress dowager returns to heaven. If we protect the emperor and come out, even if there are any grudges in the past, it will be over. Besides, even if the emperor repents in the future, constitutionalism is about to be established and public opinion is in full swing. Once the parliament is held, the emperor will have no power."

Since Zai Ze went abroad to investigate constitutionalism, he has understood that constitutionalism is a good opportunity to climb up, and constitutionalism was established entirely because of him. Once Guangxu came out, his current reputation as the leader and his merit of protecting the government. The position of Prime Minister of the Cabinet must be his. In the past, he thought about how to jointly use the official reform of the official system to suppress the Qing Yuan group. One of the most important plans was to take back the military power of Yuan Shikai's Beiyang Town by taking the establishment of the Army Department. But now the opportunity is in hand, as long as there is a mountain in Guangxu, Yuan Shikai will undoubtedly fall. Once Lao Qing's power declines, he will be afraid that no one can compete with him for the position of Prime Minister of the Cabinet with him.

Longyu didn't know what his brother-in-law was planning, but because he was his own, he believed in what he said. Seeing that he was so steady, he said, "Then you hurry up and go to the Summer Palace to protect him. I will take Zhao Guoxian to lead the troops with you."

Zai Ze was overjoyed and hurriedly went there. This time he did not sit in a sedan chair, but rode straight to the Summer Palace. Wanshou Temple is only a dozen miles from the Summer Palace, but because of the delays back and forth before, he was panting when the runway was in the East Palace gate. It was already late. After he dismounted, he said to the servant below: "Go to Langrunyuan and let all the ministers come to the Summer Palace to meet the saint."

The matter of protecting the horse cannot be exclusive. He had received a letter from Longyu before and left the park very quietly, but now he had to make things worse to protect Guangxu from the mountain. After he gave the order, he saw the slave running a few steps and shouted, "Come back soon, come back." When the slave came back, he spoke to him and asked him to leave.

As soon as the East Palace Gate entered, Yulan Hall was found. Zaize looked at Zhao Guoxian, who was covered in sweat and said, "Let the soldiers protect the garden first. If someone trespasses, kill them without any hesitation!"

Today, Empress Longyu was assassinated. Zhao Guoxian was scared out of his courage. He was the commander of Suwei Camp. This responsibility was over his head. Now, Empress Longyu instructed him to follow Duke Zhen to come to protect him. Although he knew that this was a good thing, he was still thinking about Cixi's assassination and was very confused. Zai Ze said it in his ear twice before he came to his senses and knelt down and said, "Duke Ze, but this garden is too big, and other people are searching for assassins. These thousands of people are afraid they can't protect them."

"Then don't search for any stings..." Zai Ze said this and felt that what he said was inappropriate, so he changed his words: "Then let some people search for assassins, and everyone else came to protect the garden." Seeing that Zhao Guoxian was still stupid, he had to soften his tone and said in a harmonious voice: "As long as you keep the Jia this time, how can the Empress Dowager's affairs be implicated in the slightest? Then I will protect you as the official! "

Although Zhao Guoxian was promoted by Cixi, now Cixi is dead and Empress Longyu ordered him to protect him. He didn't feel it was wrong. He was worried that it was just the life of the family. Now that Ze Gong is protecting him, his heart that fell out was half back. After kowtowing, he immediately sent someone to transfer the soldiers who were still searching for the assassins.

Everything was arranged, Zai Ze made up his court uniform and put on his clothes. Then he walked into the Summer Palace with great strides. The eunuch at the door wanted to stop him, but was pushed aside by the guards he brought, so he had to run in and report the message as if he was flying.

Guangxu was locked in Yulan Hall, beating the small drum to relieve his boredom. Although he was still the emperor when he went out, he could do nothing as soon as he entered the prison. He could read books to relieve his boredom before. The books behind him were searched by Cixi. The remaining things to pass the time were swaying clocks and playing the small drums to entertain himself. At this time, it was dark, but the eunuchs had not yet brought food to him, and he never heard the sound of his father returning to the palace. Every time Cixi came ashore from Shuimu Wharf and returned to Leshan Hall, there were no noise outside the house, and even if he was imprisoned, he could hear it, but today there was no movement.

Guangxu put down the drum. Just as he was thinking about it, he heard a chaos outside. A eunuch shouted, "No! Not good! Something big happened..." He was shocked when he heard this. Although he had never heard of what was happening, he only thought that his father was going to execute him. In a frightened state, the drum in his hand was thrown to the ground. He looked around the room, but could not find a place to hide. He only thought, would next year be his death day?

Zai Ze had never looked at the inside of Yulan Hall carefully. He wanted to enter the door and shouted to protect him, but he didn't want to walk into the Yulan Hall with a high brick wall. He looked at the eunuch who was arrested on both sides. The eunuch's face turned purple and he stuttered: "It's... old... Buddha... let..."

Zaize didn't care who built it. Now he wanted to see Guangxu quickly so as to show his first contribution to protecting him. He immediately called him: "Drop the wall! Hurry!" After that, he snatched a rifle and pounded it hard at the wall. He was tearing the wall outside. Guangxu inside was so scared that he hid under the bed. He had been imprisoned for several years, and he only thought that his father was going to send someone to kill him.

The brick wall was built in the afternoon and was not firm at all. With the concerted efforts, it fell down quickly. Zaize just waited for the wall to fall down and rushed in as if the smoke and dust had not yet been exhausted. While entering, he shouted: "Your Majesty. I am late! Your Majesty, I am late..."

His voice was loud, and Guangxu heard it several times but was still half-believing and half-doubted. When he shouted and cried, Guangxu said, "...Is it Cen Chunxuan?"

Among the people who were careful in the Gengzi year, Guangxu remembered the most that Cen Chunxuan was Cen Chunxuan. At that time, Cen Chunxuan had only more than 1,000 soldiers. He came from Lanzhou to protect him. That was the first soldier to serve the king in various provinces. Seeing Cen Chunxuan's dusty appearance, not only Cixi, but also Guangxu was also very moved.

As soon as Guangxu made a sound, Zai Ze heard the direction and hurriedly ran over from the other room. Before he arrived, he knelt in front of Guangxu. He shouted loudly in a crying voice: "Your Majesty, I am Zai Ze... The monsters in the court are in trouble. I am here to protect you. I deserve to die!"

After Zaize finished speaking, he knocked his head on the floor and made a "dongdong" sound. Zaize Guangxu knew that when he was discussing constitutionalism a few days ago, he was still insisting on constitutionalism, which made the court's discussion finally pass. He was completely different from the Yuan thief. Yuan thief was not able to deal with him after his father died. Zaize Lixian was for the Qing Dynasty for thousands of years. Guangxu listened to Zaize's sound of kowtow, and hurriedly stopped him and said, "If you can come to protect the carriage, you are a loyal minister, and if you can come to protect the carriage, you are a loyal minister." He thought that the empress dowager had not returned, and asked again, "What's the matter outside, where is the father?"

Zai Ze's head was so painful that he was stopped by Guangxu. At this time, he heard him ask about the situation outside and said, "The Old Buddha was an assassin..." He said, and cried out again, saying, "It's already returned to heaven. After receiving the order from the Empress, I brought the soldiers to protect the carriage."

When he heard that Cixi was dead, Guangxu suddenly felt dizzy. His body suddenly became soft and fell down. Zaize was still kneeling on the ground at this time, but he didn't expect Guangxu to faint. In fact, it was the mountain Cixi that was pressing on him since he was a child. He could not avoid anything. After Wuxu, he was even more vicious to him. He first wanted to depose the emperor. If Liu Kun had not stepped forward, he would be afraid that the emperor would have been deposed long ago. He would have to torture behind him. He would not have enough food or clothes to wear warm clothes, and even the bedding for sleeping was not there when it was cold... But now this mountain has collapsed!

Guangxu fainted, Zai Ze hurriedly shouted, "Imperial Doctor! Imperial Doctor!" After that, he quickly asked someone to carry the emperor out of Yulan Hall and arrive at the Leshan Hall where Cixi lived. Two imperial doctors stationed in the garden were pulled over. Zai Ze did not ask them to see a doctor first, but instead gestured at the foreheads with a gun twice, and then said, "I don't care what the Old Buddha said before, but now I have the final say here. You can listen to me. If something happens to the emperor, I will destroy your nine clans!"

Zai Ze knew a lot about the matter in the palace. Guangxu was surrounded by Cixi. Although Cixi died, he was still worried that the remnants wanted to eliminate Guangxu and get out of the way. The eunuchs and palace maids were all taken care of. He personally took some big-headed soldiers in the Leshan Hall to watch. In order to make these soldiers perform their duties, he also promised to reward and promote them, so that the situation could be controlled.

Now that the situation is a fool, he knows that the weather has changed. The imperial physician immediately knelt down and kowtowed, then went in to take his meridians, and after a while he said that the emperor was just out of control and his body was weak, he fainted for a moment, and now he was fine. Zaize was overjoyed when he heard this. At this time, the minister from Langrunyuan had already climbed over. Tieliang was the one who ran in front. He was the first to leave. As soon as he arrived at the other ministers, he was not far away. Zaize hurriedly said, "Do you understand everything?"

"Mr. Ze, I understand." Tieliang's heart was beating, and he felt that Mr. Ze was really good at him, but he didn't know that Zai Ze also wanted a military officer to control military power outside so as to have a response to himself in the court - why Lao Qing had weight in the court? Isn't it just that there was Yuan Shikai outside?
Chapter completed!
