Chapter 214

Flag!

A tricolor flag fluttered on the top of the Dongzhimen Tower in the smoke of gunpowder. At the beginning, no one seemed to notice the flag, but it was just a second or two. The gunners who had stopped shelling on the fort saw the flag from the telescope. Suddenly, there was a wave of cheers on the fort, and then the whole position, the city echoed with earth-shaking cheers.

"Lost his mother's nine battalions!"

In this cheer, reporters recorded the most important scene with their cameras. Yanjing in Qing Dynasty fell in just half a day.

At this time, George went under the city wall in the risk of flying shrapnel and even bullets? Ernest? Mo Lixun, the chief reporter of the Times in China, took a few photos that were closest to him. After taking these photos, he waded into the wall with the attacking troops and took photos on the wall. At this time, he stood on the wall, and the point he just ignored on the ground fell into his eyes.

On the ground, every corpse in a green military uniform fell with their heads facing forward, and none of them fell with their heads facing back. They still maintained an offensive posture until they died. After noticing this detail, he quickly took a picture, and then noticed the bodies on the wall, the wall. The bodies of the Qing army were mostly back to the ground, but most of them were shot or bayonet in the back. Obviously, they were killed when they fled.

Some details will reveal some unknown information, at least all this in front of him, but it makes him believe the fact that the army of this country has completed a reincarnation, at least relative to the Guangfu army and the Qing army.

"Long live!"

"Long live the big man!"

At this time, on the arrow tower of Dongzhimen, there was a wave of cheers. The troops who captured the arrow tower stood beside the ruins of the front building, holding their arms high and waving the weapons in their hands shouting long live.

"They are indeed qualified to cheer!"

Suddenly, a voice sounded beside Mo Lixun. It was McCormick, a reporter of the New York Times in the United States. He also said in the newspaper that "China's restoration will show the way for the recovery of the whole of Asia, and the dawn of the new era has appeared." In McCormick's eyes, Chinese people, whether by one person, one vote. Electing an emperor or a president will become an example for this country and the continent as a whole of Asia.

As he spoke, he pointed to the body on the wall, and then said.

"Today... they destroyed a rotten empire!"

When McCurchck said this, the sun went down and the capital in the sunset was shrouded in gunpowder smoke, but it showed a different sense of beauty.

"This is the end of the empire!"

"It's also the beginning of a new empire, isn't it?"

When the glow of the sunset shone on the coke wall of the outer city, the propaganda bombs fired by mortars shot into the inner ugly from all directions, and the white pieces of paper flew over the inner city like butterflies. Due to the gray-yellow explosive smoke and the evening breeze, some of them fluttered for a long time before falling to the ground.

The fierce battle for the outer city ended in the evening, and the ground suddenly became silent. It was so silent that people imagined that the battle was over, and a gunshot could not be heard for a long time.

The sky slowly darkened, and the red sunset disappeared. The night was about to cover the whole capital, which had been shrouded in gunpowder smoke. Yanjing in these two dynasties was still shrouded in gunpowder smoke at this time.

"I want to die!"

In the Qinzheng Hall, there was Rongqing's trembling cry. A few days ago, relying on the protection of King Qing and three other military aircraft, he was afraid of disturbing the military heart. His life was saved, and he was even in front of his military aircraft, but now the outer city was broken, and naturally he came to give advice again.

"Up to now, even if he escapes into the embassy, he is just a subjugated king under the fence of others. He has a minister who surrenders to the enemy. If he does not see the king who surrenders to the enemy, please ask the emperor to make a decision and give an edict to coexist with the country. Slave... I asked the emperor to fight with the officials and the people!"

"Don't be afraid that there will be no firewood if you keep the green hills."

Qing Wang Yi said.

"The current situation has collapsed to the point of today. Even if the emperor is martyred, it is useless. It is better to avoid the embassy for the time being. Who knows what will happen in the future! Maybe in the future, people in the world will think about the goodness of our Qing Dynasty again. At that time, the emperor will naturally win the world. What's more, now I have agreed to take refuge in the embassy.

As he spoke, he took a deep breath and said.

"This is supposed to fight with the Russians in Kanto. Maybe when they finish the war, they will give us Kanto at that time. No matter how bad it is, we can protect the land of our ancestors!"

"You have lost all the backbone of this flag man!"

Rong Qing roared and looked up at the emperor.

"Your Majesty, you know what's going on today. The country is not guaranteed today. Let's bury our ancestors for three hundred years. I only invite the emperor to die in the country, be a personal example, and be the watch of the world.

Guangxu, who was stared at by Rongqing, was only shocked by Rongqing's words at this time. "Well, you, you are the fourth brother of honor, and you are here to deceive the emperor again. Last time everyone said that you were a momentary epilexia. I didn't kill you. This time... If you want to die, you have to die!"

At this time, there was a scolding in front of the door of the Qinzheng Hall. Guangxu couldn't help looking up. He didn't know when the empress dowager would come. The empress dowager's face was rigid, pale, and there was no smile on her face, only an angry face.

"Please order the emperor to kill this rebellious thief!"

With this face, Guangxu's desire to plead for glory pressed down.

"Haha! Kill it! Yehenara's!"

Rongqing stared at Cixi, and there was no more grace of the old Buddha in his mind.

"It's you, you destroyed the Qing Dynasty, and the country of your ancestors for 300 years was destroyed in the hands of your Yehenara family!"

The angry face of Cixi, who was scolded, was even more angry. She gritted her teeth and stared at Rong Si.

"Come on, drag him out!"

After Rongqing was dragged out, Cixi turned her eyes on Guangxu and forced her to look at Guangxu.

"Please give the emperor an order to kill Rongqing!"

"Ah..."

Guangxu, who was forced to look at, grabbed the pen with trembling hands. The brush in his hand was heavy, and his eyes were full of tears. Finally, he finished writing a Zhu Yu. A tear fell. Fortunately, it didn't fall on the red pen, so that the handwriting was not scattered. Li Lianying could see clearly on his side. The boss couldn't bear it and hurriedly took a handkerchief and handed it to the emperor.

"Please wipe your sweat."

Language and actions have different intentions. The words were said to the Empress Dowager Cixi, indicating that the water stains on Zhu Yu were sweat, and the hand towel was not just wiping sweat, but mainly for the emperor to wipe tears.

Wiping away his tears, the emperor turned around and held Zhu Yu in his hands, but the Empress Dowager Cixi did not answer, but only said.

"Tw'll it to me."

"Yes!" The voice is a little trembling.

Li Lianying quickly picked up a cup of ** tea mixed with honey.

"The emperor, take a sip of water first to moisten your throat."

With that, he gave another look, indicating that the emperor could no longer make a trembling sound.

The emperor nodded slightly, took a sip of tea, adjusted his breath, and slowly said:

"Rong Qing, the minister of military aircraft, has been played many times and has a bad reputation. It is said that everyone should be selfish when handling foreign affairs. Every time he was summoned, he played arbitrarily, said that the government was chaotic, and the advice of the two palaces was disrespectful, which was really disrespectful! If it is not severely punished, how can it be purged? Rongqing is to practice the righteous law to show the precepts. That's it!"

"That's it!"

The Empress Dowager Cixi said.

"You take it first. Do you agree?"

After a cold snort, Prince Qing, Wang Wenshao, Lu Chuanlin and Qu Hongyu, the four military ministers next to him, would say anything more, just hanging their heads.

Seeing that they didn't say anything, the Empress Dowager Cixi did not ask any more, but just turned her head and looked at Guangxu and said.

"Emperor, don't you want to hand over your Zhu Yu?"

"Yes...yes!"

Guangxu's voice was extremely low. With a pale and slender hand wrapped in skin and bones, he picked up a piece of paper in front of him and stretched out from the imperial case.

Lu Chuanlin hurriedly stood up, took over Zhu Yu, and stood and watched it. He looked quite at a loss. Qu Hongyu couldn't help but reach out and pull Lu Chuanlin's clothes. This time, I reminded him that he immediately handed over Zhu Yu to him. Someone went to take care of this problem. He breathed a sigh of relief, wiped his sweat, and still went back to his original place.

At this time, Qu Hongyu had finished reading Zhu Yu, so he knelt down and kowtowed.

"The Empress Dowager, I have something to say."

The flag man can call himself a "slave", but Qu Hongzhen, a Han man, can't even be called a "slave". If he is a slave, he is a slave, which is disrespectful and he has to lose his head!

"What are you talking about!"

The Empress Dowager Cixi quickly interfaced, and then stared at Qu Hongyu and snorted coldly.

"You can't beg for mercy for Rong Lao Si, who should have been stabbed a thousand times."

"The Holy Ming of the Empress Dowager,"

Qu Hongqi praised it first, and then said.

" According to the crime accused by Zhu Yu, Rong Qing is not guilty of death. I have the courage to ask the empress dowager and the emperor to take back their orders."

"Empress Dowager, this glorious celebration, please the emperor and the empress dowager to die in the country. If it is in peacetime, it is very disrespectful. If it is now, it is also a kind of loyalty. Now, how many loyal ministers are there? Please ask the Empress Dowager to cool the hearts of the ministers of the world."

"The Empress Dowager, Rongqing deserves to die. Even if Ling Chi is executed, he deserves it. However, talent is rare, and the empress dowager and the emperor are particularly complete. Leave his life and let him go to the wall to atone for his sins.

Although I don't have a good impression on Rongqing, now the country is about to die. What else is there to say? I thought that Yiqi pleaded for Rongqing again. Last time, I was forced by all three of them to plead. I couldn't face it without beg for mercy, but this time I pleaded from the bottom of my heart.

"You mean, let him go to the city to guard the city?"

The Empress Dowager Cixi sneered.

"In my opinion, it's better not to let him deal with the thief!"

"I don't quite understand the instructions of the empress dowager..."

"Yiqi,"

The Empress Dowager Cixi scolded impatiently.

"Do you want to resist the decree?"

Hearing this, Yi Qian met quickly, but still said a word.

"I dare not. Please, the empress dowager and the emperor, please forgive me!"

"Please, the empress dowager and the emperor, please forgive me!"

Wang Wenshao, Lu Chuanlin and Qu Hongqi knelt down at the same time and begged for affection for Rongqing.

"Please, the empress dowager and the emperor, I have been loyal to Rongqing Manmen for generations. I am also loyal and will not die!"

As Yiqi pleaded again, Wang Wenshao, Lu Chuanlin and Qu Hongzhen repeated.

"You...you..."

The four military ministers who were kneeling on the ground with their fingers couldn't speak for a long time. She didn't expect that even Yiqi... was also shocked by this scene. She was scared by the sound of gunfire in the afternoon. She raised her feet and shook her head regardless of Li Lianying, and also walked down the dragon chair and knelt down to In front of the Empress Dowager.

"Please kiss your father, in the glory celebration, let him die!"

The five people who knelt on the ground were scared out of a cold sweat. They knew what they would do if the Empress Dowager was angry. When Gengzi was about to break the city, she also wanted several people's heads.

Cixi, with a blue and angry face, stared at the five people kneeling on the ground. She looked at Guangxu first. The emperor's ability to do such a thing was all the courage given to him by the four king of Qing. Then she looked at the king of Qing. With the status of the king of Qing today, the friendship between the king of Qing when her mother's family was poor, and the friendship between them came to this point. The reason why he is like this is that he is really afraid of coldening the hearts of people in the world, but isn't this person's hearts cold early?

Although there was fire in her heart, Cixi looked at the five people and finally sighed.

"That's all, let him go to Donghuamen to guard the city!"

Cixi knew that she would rely on the ability of these four military ministers to help her mother pass the shelter. If it coldened their hearts... Hey... When the Empress Dowager issued this decree to withdraw from the Qinzheng Hall, the four people kneeling on the ground were already sweaty and wet with heavy clothes, and Guangxu was scared to sit all the time. On my lap, I closed my eyes like death, and I couldn't move for a long time.

Out of the Qinzheng Hall and listening to the sound of gunfire from the outer city, the heart of the Empress Dowager Cixi was immediately raised again.

After thinking about it carefully, she knew that she was going to make the final plan.

"Lian Ying, you quietly prepare a suit of clothes, just like the old lady of a small Han family."

"Yes!"

Li Lianying was shocked and thought that she was afraid that she would change Qiao's makeup to take refuge this time, just like in the year of Gengzi.

I was thinking of raising doubts, and the Empress Dowager Cixi spoke again.

"Go and do it right away!"

"Yes!"

"Lian Ying," Cixi looked up at the dark sky.

"We have to go again!"

"Yes!"

Li Lianying's voice was as usual, but she looked obviously nervous. She bent her waist more, turned her eyes up from time to time, and looked at the Empress Dowager's face.

"I don't know when I can come back this time."

The Empress Dowager Cixi paused for a moment.

"I don't have to die in my life."

With that, she sighed.

"And find some big cars to carry as many things in the palace as you can. In the future, you have to send them under the shelter. I'm afraid it's impossible to have no money in your hand!"

"No matter what, the emperor has to go with the old Buddha."

At this time, Li Lianying is the same as last time, and she still hasn't forgotten the emperor.

"Of course. In addition..."

The Empress Dowager Cixi pondered that the emperor must go with her.

"Look at everyone's creation!"

This means that if you meet and follow, you have to stay in the palace if you are not in front of the Empress Dowager Cixi. In the future, life and death will depend on fate.

"I...I will take the order!"

With tears in his eyes, Rong Qing, who knelt on the ground, received the imperial edict. This time, it was still the same as last time. He still did not kill him. He just asked him to go to Donghuamen to guard the city and enter the gate from the Qing Dynasty. After the emperor's death, Zi Palace was all from Donghuamen. Because the funeral was sent in and out of Donghuamen, Donghuamen was commonly known as "Ghost Gate".

"Huaqing,"

Qu Hongqi looked at Rong Qing, who stood up tremblingly, and handed over the imperial edict to him.

"You are a smart person, but why are you always confused!"

"Confused..."

Rong Qing smiled bitterly, didn't he? He was confused. The empress dowager and the emperor did not stay in Beijing last time, let alone this time, forget it!

"This Qing Dynasty is really dead!"

"There is always a time to die!"

"But no one is martyred!"

"You have to keep the royal face!"

"If you are martyred, you can protect it!"

"You are still confused!"

"I'm confused. I understand better than anyone else!"

With that, Rong Qing turned his eyes to Qu Hongzhen and stared at him.

"Zi Jiu, you know why I broke off diplomatic relations and agreed to let the emperor and empress dowager hide in them. They wanted to mess up China!"

Qu Hongyu just smiled bitterly, saying that he didn't understand his thoughts.

"I am a minister of the Qing Dynasty, but I am also from China!"

Seeing that Qu Hongzhen ignored him, Rong Qing just sighed bitterly.

"In the past few hundred years, what's the difference between the flag people and the Han people? No matter what... they can't attract foreign soldiers into China!"

Obviously, Qu Hongyu didn't expect Rongqing to say such a thing at this time. He just looked at Rongqing, but he didn't expect that Rongqing, who was "loyalty and righteousness can still see his eyebrows" would... "If there is no martyrdom, let me be a martyred minister!"

Seeing Qu Hongqi's puzzlement, Rong Qing held his fist and bowed to Qu Hongqi.

"Please ask Zijiu to tell King Qing that there are many disrespectful words of King Qing. If it is in the afterlife, Rong Si will repay King Qing's kindness in those years!"

With that, he bowed deeply again.

"Rong Si thanked all your colleagues for saving their lives. I'm afraid that this kindness can only be repaid in the afterlife!"

With that, without waiting for Qu Hongyu to speak, he turned around and walked out of the camp, "Huaqing,"

He muttered the words of Rong Qing on his lips. Qu Hongzhen saluted his back and estimated that Rong Qing was going to be martyred.

As soon as he left the palace, the sedan chair man pressed down the sedan chair repeatedly, but Rong Qing ignored the sedan chair man. In the place where the horse circled outside the camp, he wrote a text message with a pen.

"Leha, I'm not going home. You go home and hand this letter to your wife, just say... say..."

With that, Rongqing suddenly burst into tears, and his voice became choked.

"This Rong family has been loyal for generations, and this country is going to die. The loyalty of the Rong family depends on his wife to be loyal? Do you understand?"

At the end of the last word, Rong Qing immediately covered his face, covered his mouth, staggered on the horse, and ran to Donghua Gate with a whip.

I saw some bad Leha on the master's face and saw the words in the letter through the palace lamp.

"The Rong family has been loyal for generations, please burn the whole family! If the son doesn't obey, please kill the son, and if the woman doesn't obey, please kill the girl!"

"Master!"

Leha, who knelt down, knelt down quickly and kowtowed to the master's back. Every sound was heavy on the bluestone. After a few knocks, he staggered towards the direction of the house.

(About the imperial system, speechless needs to be explained. This imperial system cannot be a traditional imperial system. First, it is impossible. Second, followers need to divide power. Third, they need to limit power. As for choosing an imperial system, there are also some thoughts about the future of the novel. As for the road of imperial system... Uh-huh! I want to say that everyone will understand in the future.

Chen Moran is different from Sima, and the two are the same. Sima is constantly warning himself, while Chen Moran is intoxicated. Of course, there is also occasional police.

In the trailer of the little citizens, I was speechless to say that "the little citizens have taken one road, and Man Jianghong will take another road". Different times and different choices, but I didn't see the end, who can predict the future? In the small citizens, speechless lazy avoids many problems directly. In Manjianghong, speechless will not avoid many problems as much as possible. In the end, in fact, everyone knows that the imperial system is not a problem, but the imperial system behind it. At the end of the novel, everyone may understand the choice of speechless today. Man Jianghong will only get more and more powerful. In a word, I hope you can continue to support Man Jianghong. The following is internal affairs and diplomacy. It depends on how Chen Moran plays with those nine balls! Whoo-hoo! Ask for a monthly ticket! Please read it)
