Chapter 051 Domestic and Foreign Difficulty

The palace people served outside the Leshou Palace tremblingly, and they tacitly - the emperor will not live long, and the Forbidden City is going to change its master!

However, the palace people thought it was a stable thing, but there was a deviation.

The Empress Dowager Buddha did want to change the emperor's mind. For this reason, she has publicly turned against Emperor Guangxu and put the imperial concubine into the cold palace in front of the emperor.

However, tonight, the Empress Dowager called all the important ministers of the Qing Dynasty, but did not want to discuss the replacement of the emperor.

This matter is more difficult and important than changing the emperor.

Because this matter has not been solved, the Empress Dowager can't replace the emperor!

The cause of the matter is the servant of the Ministry of Ceremonies, Yehenara Jin.

Najin, the servant of the Ministry of Ceremonies, is actually an idle position. At the beginning, in order to stabilize Zhou Charter's Zhangjun, the court used Najin, who was idle at home due to crime, gave it a title of Minister of Ceremonies, and asked him to go to Yizhou, North Korea to reward the army as an imperial minister. After Jin returned to China, he did not go to work seriously. He fished for three days and dried his nets for two days. Many people in the Ministry of Ceremonies did not know that there was such a servant in the Ministry of Ceremonies.

Na Jin did this with his own knowledge, because he was the master of Zhou Charter, and the Empress Dowager did not like him. Jin himself didn't bother to run to get in the eyes of the Empress Dowager and hid at home by mistake.

Later, Zhou Charter pretended to be Zhao Qiaoer and rejected Minxiu's marriage. Jin also helped the disciples lie, claiming that Zhao Qiaoer was Zhou Charter's original wife. This matter could not be wrapped in fire, and finally the Empress Dowager Buddha made it clear. Empress Dowager Cixi is even more angry with Jin.

Jin offended the Empress Dowager Cixi and panicked, but did not regret it. For his beloved disciple, the old man was willing to do anything. Since then, Jin has never went to work again. He stays at home drinking tea and walking birds all day, making a posture that is insulated from politics.

The Empress Dowager Cixi was angry with Jin. However, Cixi could not catch the handle of Jin in Jin's posture. In the Qing Dynasty, there were many people who did not do anything as officials. As long as they stayed at home honestly and did not cause trouble to the court, they were good people. What's more, Jin was still a famous loyal minister and scholar in the Qing Dynasty.

However, after the New Year, this Jin began to be dishonest.

On the fourth day of the Chinese New Year, Empress Dowager Cixi returned to the Forbidden City from the Summer Palace, imprisoned the imperial concubine, declared that the emperor was "sick", and then officially and publicly announced that Zhou Charter was a traitor and Zhang Jun was a rebel, ordering all the Qing army to destroy Zhang Jun.

When the news came out, Na Jin ran into the Forbidden City and asked to meet the Empress Dowager Cixi. The Empress Dowager Cixi knew that Jin had come to shout injustice for Zhou Charter and avoided it. When Jin couldn't see the Empress Dowager, he knelt outside the Meridian Gate of the Forbidden City and cried. After several weeks of war achievements in the Charter, he was wronged by Zhou Charter. It is well known in Beijing. The people sympathize with Na Jin and Zhou Charter, but they don't dare to say more.

Na Jin did this, which is equivalent to hitting the Empress Dowager Cixi in the face! The Empress Dowager Cixi was extremely angry, but the war ahead was tight. Cixi didn't know whether Ye Zhichao could take Zhang Jun or not, so she had to endure it for the time being.

On February 3, three days ago, Ye Zhichao sent someone to escort Zhang Jun's two deputy division commanders, Naha Wu and Luo Mingfang, back to Beijing and put them in the prison of the Ministry of Justice. According to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, these two people are the iron of Zhou Charter. Luo Mingfang and Zhou Charter are guilty of the same crime of conspiracy, and Hawu is a crime plus first class - in addition to conspiracy, there is another one thing: fake uncle!

According to the law of the Qing Dynasty, both of them should be executed by Ling Chi and destroy the nine clans!

As soon as Nahawu and Luo Mingfang were escorted to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Jin ran to the Ministry of Criminal Justice and made a scene in a scene, accusing the Ministry of Criminal Justice for inverting black and white to frame Zhongliang. When Jin said fiercely, he actually moved his hands and feet and slapped the minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice a few times.

Coincidentally, the Jinshi examination was about to start, and the students went to Beijing one after another. The capital was full of scholars from all over the country. The matter of Jin's great disturbance in the Ministry of Criminal Justice spread all over the capital. Many of them also fought for Naha Wu and Luo Mingfang, and ran outside the government of the Ministry of Criminal Justice to cheer for Jin.

This time, Empress Dowager Cixi can't step down.

At the beneth of Empress Dowager Cixi, the Ministry of Criminal Justice arrested Na Jin on the charge of provoking trouble and spreading rumors, put him in prison, and locked him in the room next to Ha Wu and Luo Mingfang.

I thought that if I caught Na Jin, this matter would be suppressed.

However, things are getting bigger and bigger. The gentry people in the capital and the men who went to Beijing to take the exam spontaneously organized to deliver food to Jin.

Every day, there is an endless stream of people who deliver food to Jin in the prison, and all the food is delicious food. Where Jin can eat, he is given to Naha Wu and Luo Mingfang next door. The jailers in the prison are not forbidden. The three people are delicious in the prison, just like the Spring Festival.

What's more annoying is that Ha Wu is still putting on an airsman in his cell, calling the jailers around. These jailers are really obedient, shouting happily one by one.

The Empress Dowager Cixi's hateful teeth and made up her mind to kill the two traitors, Naha Wu and Luo Mingfang, and then give Na Jin one to death, and exile the whole family to Ninggu Pagoda.

However, before the Empress Dowager Cixi could take action, something big happened this morning.

More than 1,000 people who went to Beijing to take the exam and Beijing gentry gathered together to "book the emperor" to the imperial court. The leader is two Guangdong Juzi, one named Kang Youwei and the other named Liang Qichao.

This "Emperor's Letter" is full of foreign words and sharpness. It shouts for Zhou Charter and asks the court to release Najin, Nahawu and Luo Mingfang to redress Zhou Charter and Zhang Jun!

In addition, this ten thousand words book counts the defeats of the Qing army since the outbreak of the Qing-Japanese War, pointing out that the defeat of the Qing Dynasty is not the defeat to the Japanese, but to the Qing Dynasty itself, which is the result of the retreat of the Qing Dynasty. Wan Yanshu asked the court to withdraw the order of cession from Taiwan, imitate Japan's Meiji Restoration, and immediately implement the restoration law throughout the country.

Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao led everyone to shout the slogan of "change the law and make it strong" outside the Metropolitan Inspection House, which is very powerful. The Taiwanese son burst into tears and begged the Qing Dynasty not to give up Taiwan. The whole city of Beijing is in a fierce situation. Those ordinary people who dare not talk about state affairs actually openly talk about Zhou Charter, Taiwan and other ** topics on the streets and alleys.

What's more serious is the voice echoing Kang, Liang and others all over the country.

In Shanghai, a reporter named Zhao Han wrote an article in the Declaration, which detailed the deeds of Zhou Charter's troops fighting against the Japanese army in North Korea and Liaodong, and reported on the situation. With detailed data and facts, he confirmed that Zhang Jun was not a rebel, but the mainstay of the entire Qing-Japanese War and the Qing Dynasty. The destruction of Zhang Jun is a rebellion and a conspiracy of some treacherous ministers in the court!

Declaration is the largest newspaper in the Qing Dynasty, with influence all over the country and overseas. Zhao Han not only wrote an article, but also made speeches everywhere to publicize the achievements of Zhou Charter. As a result, from Shanghai to Sichuan, from Northeast to Guangdong, the situation in the Qing Dynasty was fierce, and the people shouted for Zhou Charter and accused the court of treachery.

The Empress Dowager Cixi was extremely angry, but the * of the Declaration was British. In the British Concession in Shanghai, Zhao Han was a British Chinese, and the court had no choice but to take the Declaration.

In the capital, the children led by Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao made a scene in the Metropolitan Inspection House. Outside the capital, the people of the whole country complained about Zhou Charter, and the Empress Dowager Cixi fell into an extremely embarrassing situation.

However, this is not the worst.

The situation on the battlefield suddenly reversed.

The armistice agreement has long been conveyed to all war zones. However, the Qing army on the front line pretended not to receive orders and launched a counterattack against the Japanese army almost coincidentally.

The Beiyang Marine Division, which had been curled up in Weihaiwei, was dispatched to fight with the joint fleet in the waters of Temple Island. In Rongcheng, various departments of the Qing army in Shandong fought fiercely with the Japanese army. In Liaodong, two days after the armistice agreement came into effect, Nie Shicheng's troops actually annihilated the second brigade of the Japanese army.

Only in North Korea, the Qing army did not clash with the Japanese army, but Ye Zhichao's troops were defeated by the North Korean Restoration Army and expelled from Pyongyang. At the same time, a regiment of Zhang's army, led by Wu Peifu, still defended Pingcheng and was loyal to Zhou Charter.

After the capture of Jinzhou, Nie Shicheng did not suppress the Zhou Charter, which was encircled in the Golden Mountain Fort, in accordance with the will of the court, but sent a letter to the court requesting the court to forgive the crime of the Zhou Charter.

At the same time, governors from all over the country also asked the court to rehear the case of Zhang Jun's rebellion.

Even Song Qing, the Sichuan Admiral, who was waiting for punishment at home, also went to the court to make a good comment for Zhou Charter.

What makes Empress Dowager Cixi unable to step down is that among these mountains of chapters, one of them is from Shengjing General Ike Tang'a.

The army led by Iktang'a is the most trusted flag army of the Empress Dowager Cixi. Even he wants to protect the Zhou Charter, and the Empress Dowager Cixi fell into a song on all sides.

The domestic situation is extremely unfavorable to the Empress Dowager Cixi, and internationally, the Qing Dynasty has become the target of public criticism.

Japan will note the armistice agreement to all countries, accusing the Qing Dynasty of tearing up the agreement and going to war on the Japanese army, which is a blatant violation of international law.

International public opinion turned to Japan, accusing the Qing government of lacking basic integrity.

These days, ministers from various countries have come to the prime minister's government, expressing strong concern about the trend of the Qing-Japanese war and asking the Qing Dynasty to explain the recent actions of the Qing army.

The prime minister's government can't deny that it is in black and white, but it can't explain it to the ministers of various countries, because they themselves don't understand what the military action of the Qing army is going on.

The Qing army was fighting everywhere, but the commanders of the Qing army denied that they had issued orders to fight!

In other words, the generals seem to have lost control of the army, and the court is unable to control its own army.

This is an extremely dangerous sign!

Because since soldiers can fight against the Japanese army without orders, they can also fight against the court!
