Chapter 093 The Forgotten Emperor

Tang Cai is often a classmate of Tan Sitong, the backbone of the Weixin faction. He is a complete Weixin faction. His teachers Ouyang Zhonghao and Huang Zunxian are old friends. Tang Caichang and Liang Qichao, editor-in-chief of the Times, are also very close to the past, and the Times was founded by Huang Zunxian. Tang Cai often formed a self-supporting army in Shanghai. Although Huang Zunxian did not participate in it, he also heard about it from time to time and often turned a blind eye to Tang Cai. From a private point of view, Huang Zunxian is in favor of Tang Caichang's behavior, and the independent army is to protect the emperor, which is also in line with Huang Zunxian's proposition. In a word, Tang Cai often has a delicate relationship with Huang Zunxian.

When Huang Zunxian heard that Shaoxing Zhixian had arrested Tang Caichang, he immediately ordered someone to transfer Tang Caichang to the Taoist government in Shanghai. Huang Zunxian was personally brought to trial. Only then did he know that Sun Wen had indeed arrived in Shanghai and had several common visits with Tang Cai.

This made Huang Zunxian very angry. Tang Caichang's self-supporting army is an illegal organization, but in any case, the purpose of this organization is to maintain the rule of the Qing Dynasty. However, Tang Caichang actually got involved with the revolutionaries who advocated overthrowing the imperial court, and this nature changed.

Although Tang Cai often told Huang Zunxian that his relationship with Sun Wen was to persuade Sun Wen to give up the violent revolution and take the road of peaceful improvement. Huang Zunxian believes that Tang Cai is often a nerd and has such a naive idea, which is not surprising. However, the Manchu authorities will not believe it in any case.

The Qing authorities will definitely believe that Tang Cai often rioted with Sun Wen!

What's worse is that Tang Cai is often a figure of the Weixin faction. He has dealings with Sun Wen, and the court will take it for granted that the Weixin faction and the revolutionary party are in alliance!

Today, the court's attitude towards the newists can be said to be extremely subtle. The Empress Dowager Cixi is hostile to the newists, while the emperor and some ministers tend to the newists. As a result of the power competition between the two sides, it was difficult for the Weixins to enter the decision-making level of the court, but the court did not suppress the Weixins.

However, if there is something unclear between the newists and the revolutionaries, the emperor's attitude will be completely changed. Once the court determines that the newists are as chaotic as the revolutionaries, it will immediately launch a crazy suppression of the newists. At that time, it will not only be a matter of people's head landing, but also the great cause of innovation and change will come to an abrupt end.

Huang Zunxian was very angry with Tang Caichang, but he had no choice but to quietly release Tang Caichang and let him leave Shanghai and go to Wuhan. At the same time, Shaoxing was secretly ordered not to leak the slightest sound of Tang Cai's frequent arrest.

Zhang Zhidong, the governor of Huguang, sympathized with the new changes, and he had a good personal relationship with Tang Cai. Huang Zunxian hoped that Zhang Zhidong could provide shelter for Tang Caichang and suppress this matter at the same time.

However, he never thought that he had done it unconsciously, but he still let Liu Kunyi know.

Huang Zunxian had to say, "Lord Liu, Shaoxing Zhixian did arrest Tang Caichang and handed him over to me. After interrogation, Tang Caichang had no contact with Sun Wen. He only occasionally met officials and soldiers on the road to arrest the revolutionary party and was wrongly arrested by Shaoxing Zhixian County. Just this morning, Lord Zhang Zhidong, the governor of Huguang, wrote a letter saying that Tang Cai would often go to Wuhan as a staff. He had no choice but to let him go.

Liu Kunyi's mouth showed an imperceptible sneer: "Lord Huang, Zhang Zhidong is the governor of Huguang. I'm afraid he can't come to Shanghai!"

"I dare not!" Huang Zunxian broke out in a cold sweat.

Liu Kun nodded slightly: "Well, since Zhang Zhidong wants this person, it's hard for me to ask. However, I can ask about the two revolutionaries closed in your office!"

Huang Zunxian breathed a sigh of relief. He had already believed that the two so-called revolutionaries named Yao Xi and Guo Dahai were just a misunderstanding. They made it clear that they were just two little thieves.

"Of course!" Huang Zunxian said, "I don't know how Lord Liu will deal with these two people?"

"Please ask Lord Huang to transfer these two people to my camp. My camp is by Dianshan Lake."

"I'm on orders!"

......

Forbidden City, Yihexuan.

The spring sun shines on the courtyard, the vegetation sprouts, the breeze blows, and the air is warm and tender green.

Next to the octagonal glazed well, the imperial concubine sat opposite each other with Hu Guo and Shuge Gemin embroidery.

Concubine Zhen looked at the light blue well water, and a faint smile appeared on her handsome face: "He is dead. It's time to let go of your mind!"

Minxiu nodded gently. He knew what Zhenfei meant by "he" and "the thing on his mind".

That's a girl's heart that can never say. That incident once made her sleep and eat, made her hate the perpetrator to the bone, and had to take her life!

"But what do I think, you still haven't let it down?" Concubine Zhen said softly.

There is a faint layer of sadness on Minxiu's face.

He is a disciple. He looked at her body and ruined her reputation! This kind of person should have died a long time ago! However, when the news of Zhou Charter's death came, Minxiu's heart was like a knife!

She has been engaged to Yuan Keding. As a royal grid, there is no reason to cancel the marriage after the engagement. Otherwise, where will the royal face go? Therefore, she is equivalent to the Yuan family! As the daughter-in-law of the Yuan family, you should no longer feel sorry for an unsociat man!

"He is a good man!" Minxiu is very helpless.

"You're right." Concubine Zhen sighed, "The Qing Dynasty can't tolerate a good person!"

Minxiu was shocked, looked at Zhenfei and muttered, "You mean..."

"I didn't say anything!" Zhenfei whispered, "* in the garden!"

The two women stared at the quiet well water in the octagonal glazed well.

The well is unfathomable, just like the Summer Palace outside the Forbidden City, where the Empress Dowager lives. She determines the life and death of everyone in the Qing Dynasty, including Zhou Charter!

Both of them know that Zhou Charter's death is unclear!

"The injustice of his death!" Minxiu bit her lip and whispered, "Doesn't the emperor know at all?"

When it comes to the emperor, it's Zhenfei's turn to sigh.

It has only been more than a month since Zhenfei returned to Yihexuan from the cold palace.

For more than a month, Zhenfei has tasted the coldness of the world and the overturning clouds and rain of God.

In the cold palace, she is a person waiting to die. The person who enters the cold palace will not only die, but also die miserably to the Commission for Discipline Inspection. The palace people, from the little servants to the big eunuch, all treated her coldly. When she walked out of the cold palace, it was still these people who immediately changed their attitude towards her. That attentiveness and flattery, like the cold eyes of the past, the same nature, no trace of pretentiousness! The palace people have long been used to this kind of ups and downs, and their faces are also used to the situation of the master, which changes rapidly.

This is a game in the palace, and even the emperor is used to this kind of game.

When Zhenfei walked out of the cold palace, the emperor's face was full of surprise and guilt. In those days, the emperor stayed by her all day and asked her warmly, just like a married couple who had been separated for a long time. At that time, the emperor was indeed expressing guilt.

However, Zhenfei will never forget the ruthless face of the emperor when she was beaten into the cold palace by the empress dowager and when she was pulled away by the eunuchs.

That cold face froze Zhenfei's heart and can no longer dissolve.

However, after all, he is the emperor. There are many women in the emperor. He can spend three days guarding a woman, and this woman should be satisfied!

Princess Zhen can't complain that everything given by the emperor and the empress dowager is imperial kindness, even death!

"He doesn't know! He doesn't want to know either!" Concubine Zhen whispered, "A minister died and a woman was beaten into the cold palace. In fact, it's the same thing. You can't expect the emperor to grieve for this person for more than three days. He is the emperor. He only knows how to thank the Empress Dowager!"

"Thank you to the Empress Dowager?" Minxiu sneered: "The Empress Dowager put you into the cold palace and almost let him death. Does he still want to be grateful?"

Concubine Zhen smiled and said, "But the Empress Dowager released me out of the cold palace and let the emperor govern herself. Isn't this a great kindness?"

Minxiu gritted her teeth and said, "It was not the Empress Dowager, but Zhou Charter who saved you from the cold palace!"

Princess Zhen lamented that Zhou Charter not only rescued her from the cold palace. If Zhou Charter had not kept Lushun, even the emperor would have "dead" long ago!

Zhou Charter saved her, saved the emperor, and saved the whole court!

After receiving the news of Zhou Charter's death, Zhenfei has reminded Emperor Guangxu more than once that Zhou Charter's death is very strange. Among other things, Zhou Charter's death is the biggest beneficiary is the Empress Dowager, and the biggest loser is the emperor. On this point, his death is questionable.

However, only a month later, the emperor forgot Zhou Charter!

It is no wonder that the emperor is thinking about Zhou Charter because Zhou Charter holds a medal army in his hand, which can support the emperor.

And now, there are many people who support the emperor. Outside, Uncle Naha and Luo Mingfang are in charge of the army in Tianjin, and Kang Youwei, Liang Qichao and other newists support the court. These people asked the emperor to be arbitrary.

The newists seem to have become the climate. From the court to the place, a large number of officials stand on the position of the newists. This makes the emperor very confident!

The emperor thought that with Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao, these scholars to wave their flags and shout, his throne would be stable!

Therefore, no matter what the cause of Zhou Charter's death is, the emperor does not have to worry about it.

However, Princess Zhen knows very well that the new school is not reliable!

They are just a group of scholars. As the saying goes, scholars rebelled and will not be successful in ten years.

Without a strong army as a backing, no one can sit on the throne! At this point, the Empress Dowager Cixi was extremely sober. Through Yuan Shikai and Ye Zhichao, she mastered the two most elite troops in the Qing Dynasty. Compared with these two armies, the few people and horses are basically negligible.

Some people say that the emperor's kindness is vast, but Zhenfei knows very well that the emperor is unsympathetic!

Concubine shook her head and said no.
