Outside the Forbidden City in Beijing, this imperial palace dating back hundreds of years in the Ming and Qing Dynasties was surrounded by a group of people. Surrounding them were soldiers from the third regiment of the Guards Division. They held rifles and then fired cannons over and aimed at them. And the people in the palace are all jumping around, and the maids and eunuchs are extremely flustered. Even the nobles in the palace knew that a catastrophe was imminent, maybe it was about to change the dynasty. This time the soldiers besieged the Forbidden City, which was the first time that the Forbidden City was besieged by people in hundreds of years. Hundreds of years ago, Li Zicheng did not encircle the Forbidden City with soldiers, because before they entered the Forbidden City, Emperor Chongzhen had hanged himself to death, so there was no need to besiege the city.

But now, those Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu are not as strong as Emperor Chongzhen, and they still look very angry at the soldiers outside.

"Rebellion, rebellion, what a rebellion! How dare you besiege the imperial city of the Qing Dynasty? This is rebellion!" Emperor Guangxu said hysterically.

Because the inner city was occupied, Emperor Guangxu was also brought into the palace, because they had already prepared to "move the capital" in the Qing Dynasty. But because the nine gates of the inner city were occupied by Taiwan special forces, there was naturally no way to continue to "move the capital". Guangxu also returned to the imperial palace he had dreamed of since the Reform Movement of 1898, but he did not expect that not long after he came out of Yingtai, he would face the result of a change of dynasty. This made him very angry, and he regarded Wang Guorui as a great rebel. In the past few years, Wang Guorui betrayed him, and made him suffer a prison-like life for several years as the supreme emperor. But now that he just came out, Wang Guorui is about to take his position, so he is obviously very angry.

But Cixi was much calmer instead. His decades of ups and downs in the political arena had already tempered a hard heart. So although Wang Guorui surrounded the Forbidden City with soldiers, the Empress Dowager Cixi did not panic too much. Instead, he responded very calmly. Cixi experienced too many crises. He launched three coups in his life, each time when there were many crises.

"Go let Wang Guorui in!" Cixi said.

But Li Lianying immediately asked: "Queen Mother, do you want to ambush the swordsmen?"

"Idiot, is it useful to ambush swordsmen? Do you think that killing Wang Guorui will be useful?" Cixi scolded angrily.

Cixi is very clear. Now Wang Guorui does not represent an ordinary individual, but a class, a spokesman for a new means of governance. Even if Wang Guorui is killed, the Taiwanese group can still support a person again. Killing Wang Guorui is not only useless, but it will make the matter even more serious and out of control. Just like the Empress Dowager Cixi, although the Empress Dowager Cixi is just a person, she represents the corrupt and backward Manchu nobles. Killing the Empress Dowager Cixi will not really solve the problem, because the class behind them will once again support a person to replace her. If the class behind them and the political group he belongs to are not completely resolved, then many people will be killed. is of no use. If assassination works, the world is full of assassinations. Precisely because assassination is useless and will spoil things instead, countries will not use assassination casually.

However, it took a while. A person walked into the Forbidden City, but it was not Wang Guorui.

"Zhou Chen met the Queen Mother," said Zhou Chen, Director of Taiwan's Beijing Office.

Li Lianying immediately asked, "Why don't you kneel down quickly?"

"Queen Mother. I have endured enough in the past few years, and I don't want to kneel down to anyone again!" Zhou Chen said.

Zhou Chen is also full of courage now, so naturally he won't be afraid of the palace anymore. And as long as Cixi is not a fool, she will not kill him to vent her anger, because killing him to vent her anger will not make the matter properly resolved. On the contrary, the problem will be exacerbated.

"Where is your Wang Guorui? The Ai family wants to meet him. In fact, the Ai family has always wanted to see him for several years. The Ai family has only seen his photos, but has never seen him in real life. Now The Ai family wants to see who is the person who usurped my country." Empress Dowager Cixi said.

Zhou Chen replied: "Queen Mother, our Lord Wang is not in the mood to come in now, because he is setting up a headquarters to be in charge of commanding the battle with the Eight-Power Allied Forces. So, you just wait, we don't know when our Lord Wang will come in. .”

"It's not easy for him to be scruples about foreigners at this time!" Empress Dowager Cixi finally said with a sigh.

Cixi was really a little convinced by Wang Guorui, because if ordinary people were faced with entering the capital, they could force the Qing emperor to abdicate, and the attraction of becoming emperor himself would definitely pounce on him like a vicious dog. But Wang Guorui was not like this. He was not dazzled by the throne in front of him. Instead, he was calmly building a headquarters to resist foreign enemies, planning to clear up the foreign enemies first before preparing to force Man Qing to abdicate. It can be said that this actually allowed the national fortune of the Manchu Qing to continue for a while longer.

And this kind of person who can resist the attraction of being an emperor is definitely not an ordinary person! You have to know how many rebels there have been since ancient times. Once they have a small county, they immediately become kings and emperors. But Wang Guorui took down the capital, and the 200,000 soldiers did not come to force them to abdicate. He still wanted to resist foreign enemies. This is obviously not easy.

"What does Wang Guorui plan to do with us? Will we be cut off from water and food?" asked the Empress Dowager Cixi.

"Queen Mother, our lord Wang is not so tasteless or petty. The food and clothing of the people in your palace is not a problem, but Queen Mother, you still want to eat thousands of taels of silver for a meal, this is impossible. The people in your palace It's the same whether it's the empress dowager, the emperor, or ordinary court ladies and eunuchs. A table for ten people, eight dishes and one soup."

"Okay, that's all I have to say, think about it for yourself!"

Zhou Chen left and met Wang Guorui.

"Zhou Chen, you have worked hard! It is really not easy to stay in the heart of this enemy for several years!" Wang Guorui said.

And Zhou Chen immediately said: "It's not hard work, it's my honor to be able to work for Lord Wang."

"Zhou Chen, we are able to enter the capital this time. You are indispensable. You have done a good job in the underground work! However, your current identity is also public. Your current identity is already a deputy military-level Taiwan stationed in Beijing. Director of the office, you were originally under the leadership of the General Intelligence Agency and the Office of Friendship and Liaison with Foreign Countries, and the establishment belongs to the military, and you also have the rank of a colonel. But now your identity is known to the whole world, you are a monk Head lice—obviously. So you are not suitable for continuing to serve in the intelligence system."

Zhou Chen was a little surprised to hear that he could not continue to work in the intelligence system, but it was reasonable. Because my identity is already known to the whole world, and an open intelligence agent can no longer be an intelligence agent, so it is normal to adjust my position.

"Next, you should retire first! After you retire, I plan to set up a United Front Committee under our original Governor's Mansion, which may be called the Privy Council in the future. The full name is the United Front Committee. You will go to the United Front Committee in the future. Serve as the director." Wang Guorui said.

According to Wang Guorui's plan, after he becomes emperor in the future, he will definitely not be able to directly intervene in administrative affairs according to the routine. But it can be managed indirectly by another method, that is, through the Privy Council. In the past, Taiwan's administrative department was divided into two teams, one under the direct management of the Governor's Office, and the officials were directly responsible to the Governor, Wang Guorui, and were generally responsible for important affairs, such as military and personnel judicial propaganda. However, in the future, the judicial power will be independent, and the court will independently form the Supreme Court, so Wang Guorui will not have much management after the establishment of the empire.

As for other things, the military department will also be independent, and then let the army accept the dual leadership of the king and the parliament. The king will nominally be the commander-in-chief of the three armies as the nominal commander, so the military power will also be independent. As for other personnel departments and propaganda departments, etc., they will be retained and directly responsible to the emperor. However, the emperor is not suitable to be named after the administrative body, and Wang Guorui will learn from the methods of the monarchy countries of later generations ~lightnovelpub.net~ to establish a Privy Council. The Privy Council exists as the monarch's staff, but it also has a lot of real power. The Privy Council will set up a personnel committee in the future, which is responsible for selecting some officials for the king as advisers. However, his power will be reduced, and the power of selection will only be limited to the place controlled by the king himself, and will not continue to include the cabinet.

And the propaganda department will continue to maintain it, which is to maintain the image of the monarch, and is an important means to control the power of public opinion and ensure the status of the monarch. As for other departments, they will also be set up under the Privy Council, and this United Front Work Committee will be an important communication bridge for the monarch to contact government agencies and various domestic parties in the future, and will be responsible for overseas Chinese and some ethnic and religious affairs. And Zhou Chen has worked in the mainland for several years. He is familiar with the situation in the mainland and knows all kinds of old and young people from the Manchu Qing Dynasty. It would be good for him to be in charge of handling these people. So it is not bad that he is the first director of the United Front Work Committee.

"Lord Wang, oh no, Your Majesty, I will definitely fulfill my mission in the future!" Zhou Chen said.

But Wang Guorui immediately smiled and said, "Don't be too anxious, it won't be too late to change your mind."

"Yes, I take orders, Your Majesty!"

"..." Wang Guorui was speechless. (to be continued...)
