In the palace, Cixi and Guangxu looked at the old man in front of them, and felt very uncomfortable in their hearts! Now Cixi and Guangxu have given up their past prejudices long ago, because they are also mostly Wang Guorui's captives and are under house arrest. The Qing Dynasty is about to perish, what else can they do? And now they can only hug each other to keep warm, but it is useless. So next they will inevitably face the result of being persecuted, and then it is time to put on a good show.

"Yikuang, the Ai family thought a lot, even thought about anyone, but the Ai family never thought it was you! Well, I love the prince of the Xinjueluo family, and he took the initiative to persuade me to love the Xinjueluo family friend Abandoning the throne to others? Yikuang, what kind of benefits did Wang Guorui give you? How dare you sacrifice your life for him? When Wang Guorui was in Taiwan, you also worked for Wang Guorui. What are you trying to do? Huh? This time you are even more so, directly persuading the Ai family and the emperor to issue an edict of abdication, so you are really a 'filial son' of the Aixinjueluo family!" Cixi said angrily.

But Yikuang said very flatly: "Queen Mother, my Qing Dynasty has reached this time today, what can we do? What can we do? Don't tell me, you still can't see the situation clearly? I, Lao Qing, can see it very clearly. How can the current situation be reversed? And the queen mother, do you know? You are in the deep palace, and you know how many people have already stepped on two boats, communicated with Wang Guorui in secret, and even sent their nephews to Went to work under Wang Guorui, and many of them started a few years ago. Many people's nephews were promoted quickly, and now some have become so-called deputy department-level cadres in the past few years. It is around the sixth-rank officials. And most of them are around the seventh-rank division chiefs. Even the governors of some places have already thought about how to take refuge in Wang Guorui, and then exchange for more while they still have enough capital in their hands. benefits. Do you want more benefits for yourself or your nephew?"

"Now that I have finished the Qing Dynasty, whether it is Manchurian bannermen or even Mongols in my Qing Dynasty. Han people have also stood on Wang Guorui's side. Now, our so-called Genji Bannermen in Qing Dynasty have been sent away. I went to engage in various occupations, and some of them are doing better than before. They are under Wang Guorui, and they are doing better than in the past. In addition, how many of them can speak the so-called "Mandarin"? They don't care about us How can we restore the country? What's more, now that the Qing Dynasty has reached this point, what else can we do? The Eight-Power Allied Forces have not been able to defeat Wang Guorui, what can we do?"

Cixi immediately said angrily: "Then what benefit did Wang Guorui give you? You actually came to persuade the Ai family to give up?"

"Not much. It is to ensure that one of my sons will become a provincial and ministerial position in the future, that is, a ministerial position, and to ensure that so much of my wealth from that year will be safe and will not be confiscated. Even, if I do not If I am willing to live in China, it can arrange for me to go abroad. When I go abroad, if I have money, I will be an uncle, and I will definitely live well." Yikuang said.

And Cixi snorted coldly: "Just such a little thing, you also sold me Daqing?"

"So what if you don't sell it? Back then, my old Qingji company dared to sell anything. If I was sitting on this dragon chair, as long as I could afford the price, then I would dare to sell it. At present, in this world , who doesn't know that this dragon chair is a mess, and no one can turn the tide. Don't look at me greedy. But I know very well in my heart that I can't grow up in Qing Dynasty, so I try to make money. As long as I have money, then When the time comes, where is the uncle? Therefore, I hope to squeeze out the last trace of value, and then I can be regarded as fully reaping the greatest benefits, don’t think that my Laoqingji Company was opened for nothing!” Yikuang said.

Guangxu sneered and said, "Prince Qing, you really know how to do business!"

Yikuang pretended not to hear Guangxu's words, and then said "sincerely", "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment. But this is the last time I will call you your Majesty, I hope I can think it through."

Cixi finally sighed and said: "That being the case, I can write this imperial edict, but I hope Wang Guorui promises me some conditions!"

"Queen Mother. Wang Guorui said that he will not agree to any conditions you put forward. If there are conditions, then it goes without saying! He said that he doesn't value this imperial edict. It's icing on the cake, and it doesn't seem to be nothing without it It's important. So, Empress Dowager, for the sake of our last match, you should not put forward any conditions, and try to get a so-called impression point, and then try to make Wang Guorui's impression better, so that everyone's life will be better in the future." Yikuang said.

Cixi was choked, and Wang Guorui obviously had no intention of agreeing to their terms. Originally, Cixi also hoped to use this abdication edict to put forward some conditions. This is also a commonly used method when dynasties change dynasties, and the new rulers will "generously" agree. But Wang Guorui didn't follow the routine, obviously he didn't intend to agree to any conditions, because the Manchu Qing court was no longer qualified to negotiate conditions with him. The so-called abdication edict was just icing on the cake for Wang Guorui, not something inevitable. With this thing, Wang Guorui can be the emperor, but without this thing, wouldn't he be the emperor? Without Zhang Butcher, would we still eat hairy pigs? Didn't Europe also have to be crowned by the Pope to be considered a legitimate emperor? But how did Napoleon do it, snatching the crown directly from the Pope. The current situation is similar to that of Napoleon. Having this edict is naturally a icing on the cake, but it is not the most important thing. Back then Napoleon knew very well that he had called everything by himself, not from the pope, let alone from God, so he didn't believe it.

This imperial edict, whether Manqing loves it or not, he doesn't care if he doesn't give it to Wang Guorui, anyway, if the other party wants to use it to negotiate terms, then there is no need to say anything.

"However, Wang Guorui took the initiative to agree to some things!" Yikuang said.

"What did Wang Guorui promise?" Cixi asked with great concern.

"Wang Guorui said that in the future, in my imperial family of the Qing Dynasty, as long as everyone can abide by the law, then everything is easy to talk about, such as love. But if you want to restore, if you want some so-called privileges, then don't talk about it. Even, If our royal family in the Qing Dynasty can figure it out on their own, if they can be admitted to the so-called civil servants, then they can be regarded as entering the official career. When they are promoted in the future, they will be promoted normally, and they will not be deliberately discriminated against. It is impossible to directly agree to any official position. It is impossible for my Qing royal family to have any titles, even if the emperor abdicates, there will be no titles."

Guangxu had a toothache. According to the unspoken rules of the past dynasties, even if the former emperor had an honorary title after he abdicated, at least he could live comfortably, but he didn't have it when he came to him.

"Also, Wang Guorui said that, apart from my Yikuang, the assets of the Qing royal family can be kept if they are obtained according to the law. If they are obtained illegally, they will also be confiscated. As for the assets obtained according to the law, the judging standard is The Daqing Law of the Qing Dynasty in the past. But it is only counted as the Daqing Law, and other so-called temporary edicts from anyone are not included." Yikuang said.

Cixi's heart is like ten thousand grass mud horses passing by, this Wang Guorui is really ruthless. It seems that the property obtained legally is not confiscated, but as the Manchu royal family, how many people's property is "legal"? Not to mention the laws of the new court, even the laws of the so-called Qing Dynasty in the past are illegal. How many of them dignitaries know how to get money legally, it's a laugh out loud. So if confiscation is illegal, it is enough to confiscate more than 95% of the wealth of those powerful people.

"Then how does Wang Guorui plan to resettle Ai's family?" Cixi asked.

"Wang Guorui said that most of the occupations in Wang Guorui currently retire at the age of 60. Queen Mother, you are already 65 and should retire. As for the old-age insurance, Wang Guorui doesn't need you to pay. I'll give you five yuan a month as a pension!" Yikuang said.

"You're a beggar!" Cixi said angrily. The pension of five yuan is just the pension standard for an ordinary government servant.

After being a queen mother for so many years, it turned out to be the pension of an ordinary civil servant. How can this be accepted?

"The Queen Mother~lightnovelpub.net~ is already quite a lot. You must know that Wang Guorui still has many ordinary workers who can get a salary of five yuan a month just now. You can get a pension of five yuan, not bad!"

Yikuang seemed to be persuading her, but there was a disdainful smile on the corner of her mouth, obviously thinking that this Cixi could not see the situation clearly. In the past, Yikuang also had to obey Cixi, but now everyone is going to perish anyway, and there is no need to do so. Anyway, I can go abroad to enjoy it when the time comes, why should I be angry here?

"Queen Mother, it's not good. There are many voices outside, saying that I hope the emperor will abdicate as soon as possible!" said the maid beside Cixi.

"What?" Cixi said angrily.

Outside the palace, many people have come to petition, hoping that Cixi can abdicate as soon as possible, and then let Wang Guorui be the emperor. Anyway, Wang Guorui has already said "I want to be the emperor", so don't the people below know what to do? If you still don't know what to do, then it's really a stick, resign and get out, Wang Guorui doesn't want such an idiot! This kind of thing is recorded in the history books, and the ancestors of all kinds of processes have also experienced it. If you don't know it yet, then you should get out! (To be continued.)
