But when the west wind is coming, it is not clear that the passing years are secretly changing.

...

Lin Guangyu's eyes swept across everyone's faces, with deep and distant eyes, and he was alone.

Yuan Shikai sat the farthest, his eyelids drooped. As soon as he looked up, he met Lin Guangyu's gaze. Looking at the cold light shot out from the emperor's eyes, he felt a tingling pain like a needle. When he looked at each other, he immediately lowered his head.

The atmosphere was solemn, time passed in silence, and pressure came invisibly. Although it was only a few seconds, everyone seemed to have passed several years.

"Dear sirs, I just received the bad news, Empress Dowager Feng Yubintian..."

Everyone was already aware of it. At this moment, Lin Guangyu said this, and they stood up and left their seats, making a whine of "Woo...". Regardless of whether it is true or not, crying, crying is a compulsory course, and there are sorrows in Fuchang Palace...

"Please beg the emperor to be polite and follow the changes..." Zhang Zhidong said respectfully to Lin Guangyu after crying Cixi.

"Please beg for the change!" Everyone persuaded them.

"I summoned all the ministers late at night, mainly to discuss the aftermath..." Lin Guangyu seemed to say inadvertently, "Originally, the imperial edict should be used as a jade seal, but in a hurry, I couldn't get it, so I asked Zaifeng to use the Regent's seal to issue it."

Before everyone could recall the taste, they heard a "thump" sound, Zaifeng knelt down and kowtowed constantly: "The Regent was originally set up by the Empress Dowager who asked the ministers to supervise the country. Now the emperor is in good health and has a prosperous spring and autumn. He should take charge of the country. Why should he use the governor? I would like to resign from the Regent..."

Politics is politics, especially politics between imperial power, which is irresistible to resist any kind of family affection. Lin Guangyu understood it in his heart, but he couldn't help but sigh. Judging from his identity, Zaifeng was Guangxu's younger brother, and he was so scared that he showed the corrosiveness of imperial power.

"Zaifeng, get up..." Lin Guangyu personally helped up the trembling regent, "I have my own mind, so you can just let it go."

"Brother Emperor..." Zaifeng cried, and Lin Guangyu patted his shoulder with mercy, "There is no need to do this."

As if he remembered something, Shi Xu suddenly interrupted: "I wish the emperor good luck and good health when he was in trouble."

"I wish the emperor good luck and good health!" Everyone realized something and stood up to congratulate him.

"Sit down, sit down." Lin Guangyu looked at Yuan Shikai with a smile, "I have been weak since childhood and have used a lot of medicine, and finally survived..."

Yuan Shikai was confused and just followed suit. However, as soon as he saw the emperor mentioned the word "medicine" and his eyes were still staring at him, he was sweating all over his body, and beads of sweat were soaked out from his forehead, his face turned pale and blue, and he almost couldn't stand firm and fell from the stool.

Is the story of the east window exposed? In the flash of lightning, countless thoughts turned into my head. The word "medicine" was really deafening. Although Lin Guangyu did not have much malice towards Yuan Shikai, he could obviously feel the depressed hatred and anger in the body of Guangxu he inherited - then let's vent it, it can be considered an exaggeration.

He jokingly said, "In the past ten years of Yingtai, I have been reading and writing in it, resting and regulating my vitality. Only then can I live up to today, and it was also thanks to Yuan Qing's blessing..."

What is a heart-killing word? This is a heart-killing word! When Yuan Shikai heard this, he was like five thunder thunder slamming down from the stool, kneeling down on the ground and kowtowed, saying, "I don't dare! I don't dare!"

In fact, it doesn’t matter whether you dare or not, it’s just whether the price is large enough and whether the chips are thick enough.

Zhang Zhidong coughed and stood up to say a few words to Yuan Shikai. When the emperor saw it, he waved his hand and said, "The past is like a passing cloud, it's better not to mention it. Yuan Shikai, get up, it's important to discuss the main things."

As soon as he said this, the tense expression on Tong's face obviously began to relax. Although his surname was Yehenara and a man with the yellow flag, he was a relative of Yuan Shikai. Every word of the emperor just now was like a thunder storm in his ears, which made people frightened, and now he could finally feel relieved. However, he did not expect that the situation he revealed inadvertently was already visible to Lin Guangyu.

clique!

Must be eradicated!

What about Zhang Zhidong and Lu Chuanlin? These two men are brother-in-law, how to deal with it?

Lin Guangyu pondered for a moment, thinking that Zhang Zhidong was old and weak, and would die next year according to the historical process. He has made achievements in the country and the people, so why bother with the difficulties? Lu Chuanlin listened heavily when he was old and listened to him. After the great mourning, he would give him a break, so that he could live two more years.

With a certain idea, he turned his attention to Zhang Zhidong: "Zhang Qing was appointed by the Queen Mother of Xian, and was grateful and knowledgeable. I asked you to give a posthumous title for the Queen Mother of Xian, how about it?"

It is great to die, not to mention that an important figure must be finalized. The posthumous title section has profound meanings and is even more careless. The name of Zhang Zhidong is to clearly show his relationship with Cixi, and also to rely on his foundation in Chinese studies - Yuan Shikai did not even have a serious fame, and said that his Chinese studies level is generally praised; Zaifeng and Shixu were all mankind, and they did not have a deep attainment in Chinese studies; Lu Chuanlin was too confused and too lazy to argue with him; although Tong was a Grand Secretary, known as the "three talented men of the late Qing bannerman", in Lin Guangyu's mind, he could not match the serious candidates of Zhang Zhidong and Zhang Nanpi.

Zhang Zhidong refuted: "The Empress Dowager first has great merits, and I dare not criticize him..."

"It's okay, just say it straight."

That's fine, the hole twisted its white beard and began to meditate. After a while, the result was: "I planned to be Xiaoqin-Cixi-Duanyou-Kangyi-Zhaoyu-Zhuangcheng-Shougong-Qinxian-Chongxi-Qingxi-Paired Empress Tianxingshengxian, and asked the emperor to give instructions." There are 25 characters in total, which not only greatly surpasses the tradition of the Qing Dynasty's posthumous title that only had 19 characters, but also received a complimentary word like "Paired with Tianxingsheng".

What is scheming! Lin Guangyu secretly sighed in his heart. Among these 25 words, the 16 words starting from "Cixi" were all given to Cixi by the two dynasties of Tongzhi Guangxu. Xiaoqin was the custom of posthumous titles for the queen of the Qing Dynasty. "Queen Xian" was because Emperor Xianfeng was "Cixi Emperor". Zhang Nanpi moved here intact. Why is this old man's memory so good? The only thing he asked him to add was "Good for Tianxing Sheng". Although Lin Guangyu believed that this extraordinary posthumous title was not worthy of Cixi's actions over the years, since as a "filial son", some of them were still "self", so it was inconvenient to refute, and they could not refute it. Zhang Nanpi said that he was asking the emperor for advice, but in fact he could only accept it. How could he teach?

"What are your objections?"

"I'm going to discuss it."

"Then we will follow this proposal to honor the posthumous title first." Faced with the first test of the legitimacy of power, Lin Guangyu thought to himself: Right and wrong, gain and loss are free from the hearts of the people. No matter how good the posthumous title is, what can be supplemented? Let's follow Zhang Nanpi's opinion.

"The emperor is wise!" Everyone agreed and finally passed another difficulty.

"Now, except for Prince Qing, all the ministers of the Military Affairs Office are here. You are all old ministers. There is no need to say anything false. I have to count on you in this grand ceremony of national funeral."

"Yuan Shikai, Shixu." Lin Guangyu began to click.

"I'm here."

"The title of the Empress Dowager has been decided, but the funeral will be held as soon as possible. All ceremonies and ceremonies will be coordinated by you, and there must be no mistakes!" After hearing this order, Yuan Shikai was stunned. Although he had been struggling in the officialdom for decades and had mastered a human appearance, he was cynical since he was a child and had only a little understanding of the various customs and routines of marriage and funerals. How to make it happen? Shi Xu was in charge of the internal affairs and knew about the wedding and wedding events, but he had not handled such a great national funeral as Cixi's death. He seemed to not understand Yuan Shikai's appearance, so who should I discuss it? The two of them refused, and they said they could not, but they dared not. After bent, they looked at each other.

Na Tong was determined to help Yuan Shikai, and said, "The Queen Mother's great destruction is a great deal. I am willing to help you with your help to live up to the Queen Mother's many years of kindness."

"It's rare that you have filial piety, just help me." Lin Guangyu thought about it. Aren't you a cliché? Just give Yi Li to you too. "Let's do this. For the sake of solemnity, let Prince Qing take the responsibility for this matter. You draft a charter first, and discuss it carefully after he comes back..."

"The emperor told me to do my best." The three of them said a lot, but Shi Xu was so anxious that he jumped. Who in the court did not know that Prince Qing was a greedy person with wealth and treasures? If he asked him to handle the ceremony, he would definitely do it and fill his own pockets. Wouldn't he be unable to get along with the national treasury? Your Majesty, why are you so confused? You can't say it, you can only bury it in your heart, and you are so anxious that you can't smoke.

"First, the Empress Dowager Dajian, the imperial edict should be prepared in detail. Xiaoda Zhang Zhidong's name is yours. You are the one who takes this matter."

"I obey the order."

"Zaifeng, Lord Lu is old, so I won't let him worry about the ceremony. You will accompany Lord Lu in the military office. If there is an emergency and it is not enough to report it to me, you can deal with it first."

Gao Ming! Zhang Zhidong secretly raised his thumbs up. The emperor's power was very smart. First, he sent out the remaining ministers of the Military Affairs Office, and the general was highly valued and captured Zaifeng and Lu Chuanlin. Who doesn't know that Lu Chuanlin is old and is a famous good man. Zaifeng also takes the title of Regent. Isn't this power still in Zaifeng's hands? Although the emperor said that the two of them had the best efforts to deal with emergency matters, on the one hand, Zaifeng was the emperor's brother, and his meaning was mostly the emperor's intention. Secondly, Zaifeng was cowardly and probably had to ask for instructions in every major matter, and he would not give any orders on his back. This power slipped around and turned back to the emperor's hands. On the surface, it was not biased, brilliant, brilliant!

Zhang Zhidong could see it, and of course the rest could also see it. Yuan Shikai felt upset when he saw the emperor's arrangement. He still couldn't find a reason to refute it. He was really angry and anxious and could not have an attack.

"Report to the Emperor..." Xiao Dezhang ran in, "The Empress's Master has already given a small burial for Lord Lafayette. I just came to the Imperial Heavenly Prison to reply, and chose the auspicious time for the burial at 6 am after the post-Day Mausoleum."

"How is the sky in the right time?" "The sky is getting brighter and brighter."

"Where is the spirit moving?" Zhang Zhidong continued to ask: "When will the Imperial Heaven Supervision be settled?"

"This is not a limited time. Please let the emperor, the prince and the minister decide."

"I think it's enough to get the spirit one hour in advance. Since time is enough, it will not disturb the palace ban," Zaifeng interrupted.

"You can discuss this according to this." Lin Guangyu nodded in agreement.

...All the chores of all kinds and chores were busy all night, and everyone felt exhausted physically and mentally. Only Lin Guangyu was energetic and energetic, and he didn't even yawn. Seeing the drowsy look of these people, he said, "Zhang Qing and Yuan Qing stay first, and the rest will be dispersed."

Everyone said goodbye, only Yuan Shikai and Zhang Zhidong were left standing in the hall, looking at each other helplessly, not knowing what the emperor wanted to do. Yuan Shikai, who had a ghost in his heart, had a wave of ominous premonition, but his face tried his best to pretend to be calm.

"You are urgently responsible for the power. Master Zhang can stay in the palace and write his imperial edicts. As for Yuan Qing, there are many government affairs inside and outside the palace. You are experienced and strong, so how can you help me deal with it?"

"Ah!" Yuan Shikai was anxious. Zhang Zhidong had nothing to say. He wrote the imperial edict anyway. He would write the same place wherever he wrote. But how could Yuan Shikai dare to stay by Guangxu for one more minute, and then refused: "The emperor sent me, so I will naturally go through fire and water. But the night was dark, so it would be inconvenient for me to stay in the palace. Otherwise, I would leave first and wait until dawn before entering the palace to see the palace?"

Want to escape? No way! The more Yuan Shikai refuses, the more suspicious Lin Guangyu is.

"I have only been in power for a few hours, and everything is complicated and has no clue. As an important minister of the court and a person whom the Empress Dowager valued, can you also give up on me?"

The beating became heavier, and Yuan Shikai knelt down and said, "I dare not." "Get up, the world is difficult, you can do it with all your might."

"Emperor, I... this..." Yuan Shikai wanted to struggle in the end. "Why, can't I keep people like this?" Yuan Shikai secretly looked up and was shocked. Before he knew it, there were figures printed on the window paper of Fuchang Hall. It was clearly those imperial guards with live ammunition. If he did not agree, he would probably have to worry about his life. The hero would not suffer the loss before he agreed. Yuan Shikai gritted his teeth and said, "Since the emperor values ​​it so much, I will be reluctant to do so..."

"Okay... It's your loyal country. The Queen Mother of the First Princess has been seriously ill these days. She has never reviewed the memorials she delivered. I have just recovered. I don't know what I have reported. You can review those memorials for me first. If you have any suggestions for handling them, I will post them one by one after I read them."

Yuan Shikai complained secretly that it was an extraordinary favor to criticize the emperor, but now it has become a deadly shackle when he is here. It would be fine if he is criticized well. If he is not careful, the emperor can just find an excuse to commit suicide.

"I am afraid and dare not guess the holy intentions."

"Okay, just follow your own ideas and plan your opinions. Whether to adopt them or not is my business, and I will not be able to find fault with you." The emperor ordered someone to call him to serve the eunuch Xiaoliuzi, "Find a secluded house for Lord Yuan to work and serve him carefully. Don't be a little bit wrong. I will take the unprocessed note together."

"Zhe!" Xiao Liuzi reached out and made a gesture, "Yuan Zhongtang, please!" After that, his eyes were extremely complicated when he stared at Yuan Shikai. Knowing that Yuan Shikai was going to be unlucky, he didn't expect that it would be so soon. Xiao Liuzi felt a sense of pleasure in his heart. In the group of eunuchs around Cixi, although he was also talking to the end, he was not tolerated by Li Lianying. If he hadn't hugged the queen's thick leg, he would have been excluded. Because of this, although foreign ministers like Yuan Shikai were polite to them on the surface and kept calling him, they were not as good as flattering to Li Lianying. This gap and discrimination made him feel very unbalanced, and he had long wanted to give Yuan Shikai some colors.

It is said that the emperor kept his ministers overnight in the palace and asked him to make a copy of the memorials on his behalf, which was too high to be higher, but this matter was not the same as Yuan Shikai. As long as the head was not broken, everyone knew the emperor's attitude towards Yuan Shikai - the paper turtles in Yingtai still had Yuan Shikai's name written on the backs. The emperor was not favored by him, and he obviously refused to let Yuan Shikai go back. He also found a secluded house to serve him carefully! It was obvious that the emperor asked me to take him strictly... Don't say that my little six son was not in the ordinary way, even if we had a life-long friendship, we would not be vague in such a big matter. Come on, follow me.

"That me will take your leave first." Yuan Shikai hung his head and fell to his mind...

The hall was empty, only Zhang Zhidong was left. This was also a mature figure. When Lin Guangyu saw the whole process of detaining Yuan Shikai, he knew that the cruel and ruthless Yuan Shikai was ruined. When he thought of himself being left in the palace because he wanted to write a letter, he was immediately scared and was afraid that the emperor would use the same trick to deal with him, and he couldn't even speak for a while.

"Master Zhang, this is a difficult thing for you." Lin Guangyu said in an apology, "I have a few thoughtful words to say to Master Zhang, you can just stay here for two days."

"Emperor...Your Majesty...You have killed the old minister." Zhang Zhidong burst into tears. He had never taught Guangxu anything. Thanks to the emperor's disciple's courtesy, he would call him "Master". Even if he died tomorrow, he would be fine.

"Master Zhang should be tired after all night. Let's take a break first... Take the rest slowly."

"Old minister... I thank the emperor for his kindness." Zhang Zhidong walked to the door, suddenly turned his head, choked with sobs, and said in tears, "Your Majesty, you should take care of yourself too!"
