Chapter 265 The rain comes (2)

On June 27, 19o8, the Forbidden City in Beijing was filled with a bleak scene.

At around 3 pm, Ningshou Palace, the old demon queen Cixi, who was old and had few days, was lying on the chair with a gloomy face and heard the eunuch Li Lianying read a report about Chen Hao, the leader of the Republic of Lanfang.

As a politician at the peak of power, Cixi was both successful and failed.

Cixi's success lies in seizing the supreme power that should have been controlled by men in a world where men dominate.

Moreover, according to his own will, Cixi made a career that would bring disaster to the country and the people.

She ruled the country three times, decided against the crown prince twice, and ruled the ruler and ruled the Qing Dynasty's veins in her palm, which greatly influenced the direction of modern Chinese history.

Of course, this impact is all about destroying the quality.

People can't help but ask, there are more than a thousand beautiful girls who entered the palace at that time, and why was Cixi the only one who stood out?

Obviously, to answer this question, we must never avoid Cixi's unique abilities and personal charm.

This ability and personal charm lies in that Cixi, who is very scheming, self-interested, and does everything, and this is the basic quality that the emperor should possess.

Just imagine if Empress Cixi had no such extraordinary features, how could she rule the world as a woman?

Cixi failed again. Her failure lies in the fact that she had an almost pathological desire for power. She spent most of her life freely experiencing the sting of chasing power and enjoying the pleasure of gaining power.

In other words, for the sake of power, Cixi was willing to do anything

In the historical era in which Cixi lived, the industrial industry in the Western world has been completed.

The west wind is drifting eastward, which is an unprecedented new era for mankind, and it is also a critical moment for China's sleeping lion to deal with this critical challenge of life and death.

Unfortunately, although Cixi was familiar with the imperial skills in the power field, she was ignorant of the world. She faced the dangerous situation, turned a blind eye, was slow to react, or made mistakes in judgment and decision-making, which led China to slide into the semi-colonial and semi-feudal abyss.

This is really a tragedy of the Qing Dynasty, and it is also a tragedy of all the Manchus.

You know, even Mr. Sun Yat-sen thought of serving the Qing court at that time. He once wrote a letter to Li Hongzhang, advocating reform and self-improvement.

After being treated coldly, Mr. Sun Yat-sen suddenly realized and put forward the idea of ​​"expelling the Tartars and restoring China", and embarked on the road of anti-Qing.

As the supreme ruler in the country at that time, if Cixi could use the power in her hands, she would lead the ancient ship that was shaking and falling in Qing Dynasty, break through the dangerous shoals and successfully sail to the other shore.

Then, the ending of the Qing Dynasty and the future status of Manchu people will have a fundamental change and improvement.

Of course, if the old demon queen Cixi wants to adapt to the world, turn the world around, and achieve great success.

Then, she would first propose a new reform to change the privileged status of the Manchus and integrate the Manchus into the Han people. Otherwise, everything would be just a cloud of clouds and out of reach.

Let’s stop talking. It is impossible to make the dominant Manchus give up their privileged position.

When Li Lianying thought about the Chinese people all over the world who were whipping the corrupt rule of the Qing Dynasty and was happy for the appearance of the Chinese leader Chen Hao, the old demon queen Cixi coughed a few times, then waved her hand to stop Li Lianying from continuing to recite.

"Xiao Li Zi, I feel much more comfortable today. I want to go to the Hua Garden outside. Now you go to the princes Xuan to come over and say that I am waiting for them in the pavilion of Hua Garden and have something to talk about with them." The old demon queen Cixi said calmly.

"Laofu Master" Li Lianying agreed and left quickly.

After Li Lianying left, Empress Cixi, with the support of several palace maids, went to Huayuan for a while.

After sitting down and drinking a few sips of ginseng tea, several princes in power, Prince Qing Yili, Prince Chun Zaifeng and Prince Su Shanqi arrived one after another.

After the ceremony, Cixi said slowly: "Several princes, I have been feeling a little uncomfortable recently, so I have no energy to pay attention to the development of current affairs at home and abroad. After recuperation for several days, I feel that I am much clearer and more energetic today."

Speaking of this, Cixi took a sip of ginseng tea, then said with a gloomy face: "I heard that it is said that we Manchus are foreign colonial invaders. Because our Manchus implemented policies such as closing the country and ignoring the people, the country became increasingly backward, and they were beaten to the point of falling into huaju by the Western devils.

In addition, it is also said that it is because of the corrupt rule of our Manchus that the Han people overseas have been bullied and massacred.

Humph these words are really nonsense, it’s so ridiculous to the world, do you think it’s right?”

"Nothing is really nonsense," the princes said in unison.

After saying so many things at once, the old witch seemed a little tired. She closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths before continuing: "I heard that under the rule of Chen Hao, the Chinese leader of Lanfang Kingdom, the people have land and land, have enough food and clothing, and live a very happy life.

Alas, some people in the country are promoting that the country established by this person is the orthodox of China. Only under the leadership of this person, if our Qing Dynasty rule is overthrown, will the Han people in the country have a way out.

Let me tell you what kind of person is this Chinese leader Chen Hao? Where did he come from?"

"Why should the traitors overseas be punished? For this shameless person, why bother with the old Buddha?" Prince Qing Yili, the most foolish and only knows how to greedy money, said disdainfully.

"Otherwise," the enlightened and wise Prince Su Shanqi opposed: "This person can suddenly become famous all over the world in a short period of time, and is still making trouble in our Qing Dynasty, which means that he is a very capable and ambitious person. The current situation is extremely unfavorable to our Qing Dynasty. It is not too late to establish a constitution. Please make a decision early."

"The mountain rain comes and the wind fills the building," said the old demon queen Cixi, "I feel an unprecedented crisis is coming towards us. Whether it is constitutional or not, it will be useless."

The cowardly and incompetent Prince Chun Zaifeng said in fear and fear: "God of Lafayette, the current situation should be quite stable, not as serious as you said."

Cixi sighed and said silently.

Prince Qing Yili said respectfully: "Don't worry, with the new army trained by Yuan Shikai and Tieliang, those overseas traitors who dare to do it in the country will be defeated by the new army."

Cixi nodded and said, "Although Yuan Shikai's ability is extraordinary, he is a Han Chinese after all, so he has to be careful. Now I will let Tieliang take charge of the army and train an imperial guard composed of poor people to prevent accidents."

Yi Li, Shan Qi and others nodded. After a while, the demon queen Cixi was in a difficult situation, so she was supported by Li Lianying and returned to the palace to rest.
