Chapter 257 Back Road
Because the Weixin Party seems to be powerful. In fact, in Beijing and Tianjin, in the heart of the Qing Dynasty, the strength of the Weixin Party cannot be compared with the Empress Dowager Buddha at all! In Beijing, the conservative forces control the whole army, and mobilized the Gan army and the cavalry battalion to Beijing, which has already controlled all the strategic important places and core departments in Beijing. The independent army of the Weixin Party is just a group of non-governmental organizations without formal training, which is just a group of rabble!
rashly launching an armed coup is tantamount to hitting the stone with a pebble. Not only is there no hope of success, but it will push the great cause of the new innovation to a desperate situation! Once the armed coup fails, the Empress Dowager Cixi will inevitably fight back crazily. Guangxu, the emperor, can't continue! Kang Youwei can't keep Tan Sitong's head. Let's talk about He Weixin!
In a hurry, the imperial concubine went out of Yihexuan and went to the Yangxin Hall to see the emperor, asking the emperor to take back her order and prevent the Weixin party from launching such a desperate action. In fact, the people of the new party are too anxious. Although the new change has been resisted by the old forces in the capital, the whole country has become a climate, and the new change has become the general trend. As long as Emperor Guangxu unswervingly implements the existing strategy, even if there are many difficulties, the old forces are ultimately difficult to resist history. The trend. What's more, Zhou Charter has led Zhang Jun to gain a firm foothold in Qingdao and formed a defense against Emperor Guangxu. As long as Emperor Guangxu does not act rashly, the Empress Dowager Cixi does not dare to attack the emperor.
However, when Zhenfei mentioned Zhou Charter, Emperor Guangxu was furious and angrily scolded Zhenfei for for for her affair with her foreign minister and humiliated the royal family! Guangxu not only did not take Zhenfei's suggestion, but also ordered people to immediately imprison Zhenfei in Yihexuan and not to go out. The emperor suddenly turned his face. In order to protect themselves, the eunuchs around the imperial concubine reported that there was a jade bracelet offered by Zhou Charter! This jade bracelet has become evidence of Concubine's adultery with others!
Princess Zhen is in despair. She knows what is waiting for her.
No matter whether Emperor Guangxu's coup is successful or not, she can't live! If it succeeds, Emperor Guangxu will kill her. If she fails, the Empress Dowager Cixi can't forgive her!
Sure enough, last night, Tang Caichang's independent army besieged the Summer Palace and was soon surrounded by the Gan army and Xiaoqi camp. The gunfire sounded all night until dawn, and the gunfire gradually subsided. Emperor Guangxu ran to Yihexuan with a pale face and cried for help from Zhenfei - Dong Fuxiang led the Gan army and rushed into the four small military aircraft working in the Forbidden City. Tan Sitong, Liu Guangdi, Lin Xu, Yang Rui and others were arrested. These four people are the confidants of Emperor Guangxu. without them, Guangxu would have completely failed!
Concubine Zhen secretly sneered. At this time, Emperor Guangxu would actually beg Concubine for help! Does he think that Zhenfei can ask Zhou Charter to send troops from Qingdao to rescue him?
Concubine Zhen will never ask Zhou Charter for help. That is to consolidate the "misery" between her and Zhou Charter at all! What's more, even if Zhou Charter sends troops, Zhang Jun will not be able to fly to Beijing.
Soon, Cui Yugui, the second chief manager of Empress Dowager Cixi, brought people to Yi Hexuan and took away the crying Emperor Guangxu. Guangxu's leaving means that his throne and life can't be preserved!
Then, Cui Yugui reprimanded all the palace people and read to the Empress Dowager Cixi's decree to give Zhenfei the death of his family!
Cui Yugui handed him a white exercise, which is the highest treatment given by the royal concubine, because this is the cleanest way to die and the most decent way to die, so that death can leave a clean whole body and protect his reputation. According to the rules, the concubine who has been trained for nothing should thank the Empress Dowager Cixi!
Zhenfei did not accept Bai Lian, but asked Cui Yugui to let her die in the octagonal glazed well. The clear and cool well water is her favorite destination! In her opinion, only the water in this well is clean in the huge Forbidden City!
Cui Yugui sneered and agreed to Zhenfei's request.
Zhenfei walked to the octagonal glazed well, but found that she couldn't jump down.
There was a man standing by the well and stopped his way. The man was burly, with a beard, dressed in a uniform and a sword on his waist. First, he bowed to Concubine Zhen, and then turned to Cui Yugui and said coldly, "Mr. Cui, you can't do anything!"
Cui Yugui was also expressionless: "Lai Chuanwu, do you want to leave a way back for yourself?"
That man was Lai Chuanwu, the leader of the Xiaoqi Camp. At the order of the Empress Dowager Cixi, he and Cui Yugui led his troops into the Forbidden City, arrested the Weixin Party, imprisoned Emperor Guangxu, returned to the palace for the Empress Dowager Cixi, and cleared the obstacles.
The Empress Dowager Cixi suppressed the self-supporting military coup and imprisoned Emperor Guangxu. It seems to have been successful, and people with bright eyes can see that this is actually a suicide. Zhou Charter in Qingdao has long been ready to send troops to Beijing, but Zhou Charter is nameless. Now, Empress Dowager Cixi imprisoned Guangxu and just gave Zhou Charter an excuse to protect the king of Qin. Zhou Charter will never let go of this opportunity. Once Zhang's soldiers came to the city, the Qing Dynasty would die! Therefore, when Empress Dowager Cixi returned to the palace, not only did she not stabilize the political situation, but the Wenwu of the Manchu Dynasty foresaw the terrible ending, and everyone was looking for a way out. It is said that these days, Duan Jun Zaiyi went to Tianjin to find ways to contact Zhou Charter.
Lai Chuanwu sneered: "I work with Lai Chuanwu, and I never leave a way out!" At the beginning, I was anti-water in North Korea, and I was already at peace with Zhou Charter! I advise the general manager to leave a way for himself! Don't regret it!"
"General Lai is an open and aboveboard man." Cui Yugui sneered: "It's just that I don't have to worry about Cui Yugui!"
"So, does Director Cui have to put the Empress Zhen to death?" Lai Chuanwu pulled out his pistol and pointed it at Cui Yugui: "Please show mercy, otherwise, I, Lai Chuanwu, will have to take action!"
Cui Yugui did not give in. He took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Lai Chuanwu: "General Lai, if I hadn't been merciful, how could you live now!"
Lai Chuanwu took over and took a look, but it was the handwriting of Empress Dowager Cixi. He was very familiar with Cixi's handwriting, and he knew at a glance that it was authentic.
It says: "Cui Yugui, you followed Lai Chuanwu into the palace. After taking down the emperor, you immediately showed Ben Yi's order, killed Lai Chuanwu, took over the Xiaoqi camp, and arrested all Lai Chuanwu's family and Zhengfa. Lai Chuanwu betrayed his family and betrayed the court! The crime is unforgivable, and there is more than enough to die!"
Lai Chuanwu suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
"General Lai, rest assured that all your family members are safe and sound." Cui Yugui said, "I have ordered the officers and soldiers of the battalion to protect your family and go to Tianjin. The Empress Dowager Buddha is out of reach."
"Mr. Cui, why is this?"
Cui Yugui's face was expressionless: "Three years ago, on the hill outside Dagukou, Tianjin, you could not hide what you did! Fulin is the nephew of the Empress Dowager Buddha. He originally wanted to sneak into Taiwan to work for the Empress Dowager Buddha, but he was killed by you. If you killed her nephew, how could she forgive you! Moreover, since then, Zhou Charter has become more and more fearless! This is all thanks to you, General Lai! To be honest, two years ago, the Empress Dowager Buddha knew about it.
"Why didn't she kill me at that time!" Lai Chuanwu asked in shock.
"Because she really can't find anyone available except you!" Cui Yugui said, "You and your Xiaoqi camp are the last pieces of the Empress Dowager Buddha. She wants to use up your chess piece!" Now, she uses your riding camp to imprison the emperor, and you are useless. Moreover, the empress dowager is about to eliminate the emperor. At that time, she needs a scapegoat to kill the world. If you die, let you and your family bear the charge of killing the emperor. The empress dowager Buddha still has to be responsible for Emperor Guangxu. A few tears! Lai Chuanwu, the wisdom of the Empress Dowager Buddha, we can't wait to reach it!"
Cui Yugui's words made Lai Chuanwu and Zhenfei beat the cold. With the Empress Dowager Cixi's wrist, Emperor Guangxu against her, there was no possibility of success at all!
"Mr. Cui, why didn't you kill me?" Lai Chuanwu asked.
Cui Yugui sighed: "The Empress Dowager Buddha is shrewd and wise. If it is used on the right path, it is the blessing of the Qing Dynasty. If it can be used in the wrong place, it is the scourge of my Qing Dynasty! General Lai, Cui Yugui, am not a hard-hearted person. I have done a lot of bad things before, but I work beside the Empress Dowager Buddha. Can I not listen to her? Up to now, if I Cui Yugui do things against my conscience again, I'm afraid that when I get to the underworld, I can only put it into the oil pan!"
Lai Chuanwu said, "In this case, please raise your hand and let the Empress Zhen go."
"General Lai, why did you save the Empress Zhenfei?" Cui Yugui asked.
"Like you, I don't want to put oil in the pan after death!"
"However, according to the decree of the Empress Dowager Buddha, the Empress Dowager must disappear from this world!" Cui Yugui sneered: "And you, General Lai, must also disappear!"
Concubine Zhen said proudly, "Chief Cui, please let General Lai go, and I will give you an explanation." Zhenfei said and turned to Lai Chuanwu, "General Lai, please give way."
Lai Chuanwu protected the mouth of the well and did not move: "Chief Cui, if you force the Empress Zhen to die, you will still put it in the oil pan after death!"
Cui Yugui bowed to Zhenfei: "Princess Zhen, there is actually a secret road under the octagonal glazed well, which can lead to the outside of the Forbidden City. Forgive me for being rude. I was ordered by the Empress Dowager Buddha to monitor the life of the Empress, which is through this secret road, which only I know. The slave has sent his confidants to stay under the secret road. The Empress jumped into the well, and naturally someone will follow, and she will not hurt the Empress. The Empress left the Forbidden City from the dark road and hid into the people. From then on, there was no more precious concubine in the world, and I could restore her life to the Empress Dowager Buddha.
