One night at the end of December 1896, everyone was preparing for the winter now, but no one expected that an army would start to move from the inside of Beijing. And these troops began to gather, and then poured into the city of Beijing continuously. However, people in Beijing continued to open the doors and let them pass, but they didn't stop them. Obviously, there had been collusion between inside and outside. As for the next step, all kinds of troops in Beijing and even some of them have joined this army, obviously they are all going to participate in this coup.

"Your Majesty, we have enough heat now. Let's give the man in the Summer Palace a little bit of violence in a few days. It's not enough for our soldiers to get together this time. Maybe we will have some tough ones. First of all, we must use military power." , otherwise it won’t work if we don’t have military power. We have already agreed with Yuan Shikai of the Tianjin New Army that this time we must launch the killing of the demon queen together. As long as our mutiny succeeds this time, we will definitely be able to kill the demon queen Later." Kang Youwei said.

And Kang Youwei is still of a certain level, knowing that he has already established enough popular support, and then he can use some violent means to clean up this Empress Dowager Cixi. And Kang Youwei has already contacted Yuan Shikai, hoping that Yuan Shikai can lead the new army to enter the palace, and then kill the demon queen to regain the imperial power. At that time, if you want to reform, that is your own business. And Kang Youwei has already made a good dream, so he has won the trust of the emperor and is also the father-in-law of the governor of Taiwan. Isn't this just that he can reform at will? And he has dreamed that he can be the hero of ZTE in the Qing Dynasty. He became a marquis and paid homage to his prime minister, leaving his name in Qing history.

"Kill into the palace, Lord Qing side!" "Lord Qing side!" "Kill me. The emperor is surrounded by villains, we are going to the side of Lord Qing!" "Lord Qing side!"...

Suddenly there was a shout of killing outside the palace, and this shout of killing made Guangxu feel frightened. Because the side of the Qing monarch has been one of the reasons for mutiny since ancient times, but now someone is coming to ask for the side of the Qing monarch, isn't it just a rebellion? And Guangxu's first thought was that someone was definitely staging a coup, but this time he was not ready to passively accept the coup. This made Guangxu feel dangerous. After all, I just planned to stage a coup for Cixi, but now someone immediately staged a coup for me. Then I'm afraid it's going to be aimed at myself, and I'm going to abolish myself!

"Rush! Rush into the palace!"

When Guangxu heard the news, he immediately felt at a loss. Before that, he wanted to use the pressure of the world's scholars to force Cixi to hand over power. But now it seems that Cixi is not a person willing to fail, he immediately launched a coup to seize power. But this time Guangxu had never experienced this feeling at all, so he was very flustered now. And then Guangxu didn't know what to do, because in his heart he was not prepared to accept the coup at all. Now that things were coming to an end, he was actually flustered.

"Your Majesty, hurry out of the palace and go through the back door!" Kang Youwei said hastily.

Kang Youwei pulled Guangxu to go through the back door of the palace, but when they walked out of the Qianqing Palace, someone came immediately.

"Your Majesty, you don't need to go!" Rong Lu said.

"What? That woman of yours asked you to come?" Guangxu said angrily.

"Your Majesty, this is your real father!" Rong Lu laughed.

"Are you rebelling?" Guangxu shouted.

"Your Majesty, you have done a lot of absurd things recently. Therefore, all civil and military officials agree that you are no longer suitable to continue to be in charge of the court, so we implore the Queen Mother to continue to come out to listen to the government behind the curtain, and then continue to manage the government. It is good for the Emperor to cultivate his mind and cultivate his character." Already!" Rong Lu said.

Soon, Guangxu was escorted to Yingtai and placed under house arrest. And then, all the officials of the queen party also started to gather together.

"Queen, the emperor has been invited to Yingtai by us, what should we do next?" Rong Lu asked.

"Okay. We must conduct a city-wide search for the Ai family. None of the key elements who rebelled against the party can be let go. This time the Ai family couldn't bear to see the emperor destroy the ancestral law, so they were forced to come out and hang the curtain again." The one who listens to the government is not that the Ai family is greedy for power, but that the emperor has gone too far. If my ancestors in the Qing Dynasty saw this scene, they would definitely support the Ai family to continue to defend the law of our ancestors in the Qing Dynasty! "Cixi said with a burst of grief.

Cixi's words made everyone's teeth sore. She obviously wanted to continue to be in power, but she actually put on such a helpless look, what a hypocrite! And everyone was very speechless about this situation, but they all quickly accepted it, because Cixi came out to listen to the government behind the curtain, which was in the interests of the latter party. It is even in the interests of the bureaucrats who are the vast majority of landlords, so they will not have any opinions. Guangxu's reforms this time have seriously touched the interests of those landlords and bureaucrats, so naturally they will not choose to support them.

"Report--, Queen Mother, we have arrested many people against the party, and almost all of them were arrested. Except for Liang Qichao who fled alone, we have arrested everyone else. And this time we arrested the rebellious party, the president of the imperial court's new army. Yuan Shikai contributed a lot. When the queen mother returned to preside over the overall situation, he took the initiative to serve the queen mother and took the initiative to lead people to hunt down the rebels. This allowed us to arrest most of the rebels very smoothly. Therefore, I think Yuan Shikai can be pardoned, and even rewarded! After all, this matter is not too involved, after all, many scholars in the world have participated." Rong Lu said.

Rong Lu's meaning is obvious, so don't get involved too much this time, as long as you catch the backbone members of the Reform Party. After all, there are tens of thousands of scholars in the world who participated in this reform, but most of them are people who hope to take the opportunity to make a fortune in politics. up. So Ronglu's meaning is obvious, that is, to set up a flaunt that he is willing to actively cooperate with the queen mother, and then let everyone take the initiative to take refuge in the queen mother, so that everyone can give up Guangxu.

"Well, Aijia also means the same thing. Although the rebellion against the party is vigorous and vigorous, most of the scholars are also blindly following, so Aijia will not go too deep into it. But those backbones of the rebel party, that is They must not be let go. They have bathed in the favor of the Qing Emperor for many years, but they did not think about how to serve the court, and even thought about how to destroy the ancestors. They really deserve to die. Those backbones who rebelled against the party must be killed by Aijia! And Yuan Shikai , being able to take the initiative to help Aijia arrest the rebellious party, not only is there no fault, but also credit, and if he continues to serve as the president of the newly-built army, he will definitely be rewarded in the future." Cixi said.

And Wang Guorui didn't expect that this time and space cooperated with Cixi to clean up the Reform Party, but it also involved Yuan Shikai. Although Yuan Shikai didn't betray the Reform Party immediately, he followed up with the arrest of the Reform Party immediately after Cixi's coup d'état, and they all betrayed it. But he is not protecting himself, after all, the strength in his hands is not the opponent of Empress Dowager Cixi at all. At present, the Empress Dowager Cixi has more than ten times the military strength of Yuan Shikai, and Yuan Shikai's thousands of new troops will not be Cixi's opponent at all. Moreover, Yuan Shikai is also a hero of the generation, so he naturally got off the broken ship of the Reform Party without hesitation, and instead boarded the big ship of Cixi to attack the Reform Party in turn. In the end, not only was there no fault, but there was also credit!

"Queen Dowager, are all those rebels beheaded?" Rong Lu asked.

"Behead, all of them will be beheaded by Ai's family, and they will be beheaded in the vegetable market tomorrow. They must be shown to the people of the world, and let them see that anyone who tampers with the law of the ancestors will surely die!" Cixi said.

"Is that Kang Youwei going to be beheaded too? After all, he is the father-in-law of that Wang in Taiwan!" Rong Lu asked.

But Cixi was silent for a while, and said helplessly: "Give Taiwan that surnamed Wang some face, and don't kill him. Send this Kang Youwei to Taiwan, and cancel Kang Youwei's Qing nationality, and he will never be able to enter our Qing territory! "

"Okay!" Rong Lu replied.

And then, everyone began to look for candidates for the new emperor. After all, Guangxu was no longer suitable to be an emperor, so everyone also started to discuss candidates for the new emperor. However, things may not go so smoothly.

"Queen Mother, the ministers of various countries sent a note to the Prime Minister's National Affairs Office, and they said that they do not recommend that we abolish the emperor~lightnovelpub.net~ Rong Lu said.

When Cixi heard this, she immediately became furious, and said, "Isn't it too lenient for these foreign devils?"

Cixi really did not expect that this group of ministers actually wanted to protect Guangxu from being abolished. This is really too lenient. You must know that Cixi launched a coup, that is to say, she will completely fall out with Guangxu. If Guangxu cannot be abolished this time, it will be very unfavorable to herself in the future. So Cixi heard that the ministers of various countries actually supported Guangxu, which made Cixi really feel very dangerous. After all, if Guangxu is still on the throne for a day, then he still has the righteousness of imperial power for a day, then this is tantamount to letting a sword hang over Cixi's head at any time, which is very dangerous.

"Empress Dowager, the ministers of various countries have spoken strongly, and it is obvious that this matter has not been discussed!" Rong Lu said.

"These foreign devils are really bastards!" Cixi said angrily.

In the end, Cixi still didn't have the guts not to listen to the foreign devils. After all, she didn't have the courage and strength of Wang Guorui, so she could only approve of the foreign devils' idea of ​​not abolishing Guangxu. However, Guangxu was also imprisoned in Yingtai, and the suspension bridge was cut off, and he could only rely on boats to get in and out, so he was completely trapped. Next, the era when Cixi once again listened to politics behind the curtain came. (to be continued)
