Chapter 063 Madman
In the alley outside the house, the people who spontaneously came to see Zhou Charter off were first stunned by this change. Then, they all watched the excitement interestingly. The court ordered the officials to fight in a group. This is a once-in-lifetime good play. The crowd burst into laughter, and the originally sad atmosphere was swept away. In the alley Pai is full of joy, as if a big play has been staged.
When I was fighting, I suddenly heard a delicate shout at the door of the mourning hall: "Protecting the country and the master's Gege! Stop it!"
Everyone looked back and saw that Minxiu was wearing a white dress, strode angrily and rushed to the mourning hall. Behind her, she followed the jade qiongge cherry given by the emperor, but it was a black dress. The two were shining brightly, and everyone hurriedly stopped fighting.
Everyone stopped fighting, not only because the two Ge Ge Ge are beautiful, but also because both sides of the fight can't but give face to these two Ge Ge Ge.
Minxiu is the niece of the Empress Dowager and the sister of the emperor. Cherry's grid name is given by the emperor. How dare the officials present fool around in front of these two? Minxiu and Cherry are kind to Zhang Jun, and Zhang Jun's brothers dare not disobey their intentions.
Only Xu Xilin doesn't know whether it's good or not, and is still shouting slogans: "Down with the imperial power and establish a republic... Ouch..."
Nahawu slapped Xu Xilin's face: "Gge is coming. Shut the fuck!"
This time, Xu Xilin really shut up.
This is not because of a slap in the face, but because he saw Minxiu and cherry.
Both of them are handsome. This dress is like a white lady and Xiaoqing, which is extremely amazing. Xu Xilin's eyes are dazzling, stunned, and he stares at Minxiu and cherries in a daze, becoming a wooden man.
After Minxiu returned to Beijing, she immediately got married to Yuan Ke. She can't decide this marriage at all, and even her father can't decide. Only the Empress Dowager Buddha can decide! The Empress Dowager said that she was asking for her opinion. To put it bluntly, she was just to inform her.
Minxiu and Yuan Keding will officially get married in the first month of next year.
From then on, as a grid to leave the cabinet, Minxiu stayed in the mellow king's mansion all day long and became a lady. Now, Cherry has also become a grid. She is an orphan and has no family. She lives in Minxiu's house and is commensurate with Minxiu's sisters.
Yishio Asano followed the two Gege to Beijing, who was originally a prisoner of war. According to the armistice agreement between Qing and Japan, the Qing Dynasty should return Yoshio Asano to the Japanese government. However, Yoshio Asano asked Minxiu to leave him in China. After this war, he no longer wanted to go back to Japan.
Therefore, Minxiu hired Yoshio Asano as a western scholar consultant of the Alcohol King's Mansion to teach Western knowledge such as astronomy, geography, chemistry, physics, military, etc.
Japan's modernization process is later than that of the Qing Dynasty, but it is faster and more complete than the Qing Dynasty. As early as 30 years ago, Japan sent a large number of international students to study in Western countries. They not only brought back Western scientific knowledge, but also completed the reform of Japan's education system. Most of the new Japanese soldiers, including Yoshio Asano, have received Western mathematical, physical and chemical knowledge through primary and secondary education and even university education. At the same time, the vast majority of young Chinese people still read four books and five classics and know nothing about mathematics, physics and science.
Minxiu hired Yoshio Asano as a consultant of Western studies, which coincided with the idea of the new school - learn from defeating his enemies! This is the first lesson for the Chinese people during the First Sino-Japanese War!
Before the war, international students from the Qing Dynasty were mainly sent to Europe and the United States, and the scale was very small.
After the First Sino-Japanese War, the Qing Dynasty was defeated by Japan, and people with insight in China suddenly realized that it was better to learn directly from Japan than to learn from Europe and the United States. Because Japan has a history and culture similar to that of the Qing Dynasty* and has been bullied by Western powers like the Qing Dynasty, Japan's experience should be more suitable for China's national conditions than the modernization experience of Western countries.
Since 1895, the Qing Dynasty began to send international students to Japan on a large scale. In 1895 alone, the number of international students sent to Japan exceeded the total number of students sent to the Qing Dynasty.
In a word, Asano Yoshio stayed in the King's mansion and carefully taught the knowledge he had learned to Minxiu, Cherry and others. Later, Minxiu recommended Asano Yoshio to the court to teach at Beijing Normal University, the first institution of higher learning in China. This is a later story, not for the time being.
However, it is said that Minxiu and Cherry came to Zhongyongbo Mansion, just like the officials here, to see Zhou Charter off.
When the two came to the entrance of the alley, it was already a sea of people, and the people who came to see them off blocked the alley. Minxiu was embarrassed to disturb the people. Without public identity, she had to accompany and be careful. She slowly squeezed into the crowd and squeezed into the crowd, and felt that the atmosphere at the scene was wrong.
The alley was originally solemn and solemn, but I don't know what happened in front of it. Unexpectedly, it seemed that it was not a mourning hall, but a stage.
The two Gege were puzzled and hurriedly separated the crowd, squeezed into the Zhongyongbo Mansion, and came to the mourning hall, but they saw that the mourning hall was in chaos. The officials in imperial uniforms and Zhangjun officers in military uniforms were in a group, making a mess of a good mourning hall.
Minxiu was originally a hot grid, and when she saw this scene, she was even more angry. Zhou Charter was loyal to the country, but these people fought in the mourning hall, which was very disrespectful to the deceased.
In the mourning hall, many officials have blue noses and swollen faces, and their official uniforms are torn, which is really incongruly!
When Zhao Qiaoer saw Minxiu, she was a little relieved. She hurried forward and bowed to Minxiu: "I have seen two Gege."
Minxiu took Zhao Qiaoer's hand: "Don't worship, just rest quickly."
After saying that, he walked to Ha Wu, pointed to Xu Xilin beside him and said, "This is a madman. Why are you pulling a madman for? Get him out quickly and don't delay the funeral!"
"No, Gege, they want to catch him." Ha Wu said in a hurry.
"Who wants to arrest him?" Minxiu shouted, "Who is full to catch a madman? Only a madman can catch a madman!"
Nahawu still refused to let go: "Gig..."
Cherry hurriedly winK at Naha Wu: "Gege said he was crazy, he was crazy!"
Xu Xilin was anxious: "I'm not crazy..."
"Of course, a madman doesn't admit that he is crazy!" Minxiu shouted, "Bang him out!"
Luo Mingfang was so worried that she hurriedly waved her hand. The Zhang Jun brothers rushed up, set up Xu Xilin, and walked out.
Natong hurriedly blocked the way: "Wait, this man is rude. Obviously, he is a revolutionary!"
Minxiu scolded, "Natong! This is Zhou Charter's funeral! Zhou Charter is loyal to the country and will not be at peace until death! Do you still want to mess around here?"
Natong hurriedly shouted to Weng Tongqi and Li Hongzhang, "Lord Weng, Lord Li, you have heard what this man just said!"
Weng Tongqi and Li Hongzhang looked at each other, but did not say anything.
These two old guys have been officials for decades, and both of them know that they can't easily express their position at the critical moment.
"What did he say!" Minxiu asked.
"He said..." The Tong's words came to his mouth, but he did not dare to repeat Xu Xilin's words. In the Qing Dynasty, if these rebellious words were spoken and reached the ears of the Empress Dowager and the emperor, they would go wrong. Obviously, they were repeating other people's words, but others would say that that was what Na Tong said himself.
"What he said is very rebellious!" Natong shouted.
"Dare to say rebellious words in front of so many court officials in the Qing Dynasty, which further proves that this person is a madman. May I ask, will the real revolutionaries come automatically? It's too late for them to hide when they see the officials of the Qing Dynasty!" Minxiu shouted.
Xu Xilin was very unconvinced: "Revolutionaries regard death as their home!"
Cherry smiled and said, "Look, this is really crazy. At this time, I don't know whether to live or die."
Natong was still not convinced, and Weng Tongqi then said, "Li Zhongtang, Zhou Charter's funeral was originally a grand and solemn matter, which made this madman unconform. The subordinate thought that it was better to get back to the point and hold the funeral. Otherwise, it would be difficult for us to tell the emperor."
Li Hongzhang nodded: "Lord Weng said, drive this madman away quickly!"
The two old ministers understood that Minxiu was going to release Xu Xilin, and the two simply pushed the boat along the water.
These days, Minxiu is at home and listens to Yoshio Asano teaching Western studies all day long. She is particularly interested in Western politics. Through the lecture of Yoshio Mano, Minxiu realized that trains, ships, cannons and machinery in the West should certainly be learned, but the advanced technology of the West is based on an advanced political system. Without the political system as a guarantee, technological progress is impossible to talk about.
Unconsciously, Minxiu hazyly felt the Western democratic republican thought. Of course, Minxiu's thought is not systematized. She is even a little afraid of democratic republicanism, because this idea is incompatible with the imperial power she is attached to.
Today, when she saw Xu Xilin, Minxiu clearly knew that he was a revolutionary who wanted to overthrow the imperial power. She was very hesitant and didn't know whether to save Xu Xilin. However, when she saw the Zhangjun brothers desperately defending Xu Xilin and Minxiu's position, she did not hesitate to stand on the side of the Zhangjun brothers.
These brothers are the ones who fought with her on the battlefield!
Zhou Charter is dead, and these brothers are her brothers!
Since the two important ministers of the court believed that Xu Xilin was a madman, other officials naturally did not bother to investigate. In the officialdom of the Qing Dynasty, everyone had better than less. What's more, it was not a good thing to offend the two important ministers.
Everyone made way.
Naha Wu, Luo Mingfang, Wu Peifu and others set up Xu Xilin and went out of the house. Xu Xilin was still shouting all the way: "I'm not crazy, I'm a revolutionary party!" I'm not crazy..."
In the alley, the people watching the bustle laughed even more.
