Chapter 324 It's Too Late to Regret
While Chen Hao and others were discussing matters in the Golden Palace with great enthusiasm, Emperor Guangxu smiled and looked relaxed, chatting and laughing with Yi Li, and arrived at the Xuanwu Gate Tower.
"Your Majesty, you are in a good mood today and you are much more cheerful. I am really happy." Yi Li, who accompanied Guangxu to play together, said slightly with his body.
"Haha, it's great to have the opportunity to go out for a walk." Guangxu looked at the scenery in the distance, smiled, and said happily: "When people think about it, they will feel relaxed and happy. For many years, even before I was under house arrest, I have never been so happy."
"So good," Yi Li said deeply: "I have been living a good life in the past few years under the power of the Lord Buddha, and I have been living a good life. Your Majesty, you can figure this out, and I will feel at ease. Haha."
"That old witch is really worthless." When talking about Cixi's old witch, Guangxu was in a bad mood. After scolding the old witch a few times, he thought to himself: "If it weren't for the old witch's bad things, the reform would be successful. Now the Qing Dynasty must have been rich and strong. I have become the revival of a generation, and have been congratulated by all nations and respected by all people."
"Yes," Yi Li also has this idea now. He said deeply: "I haven't been asleep at night recently and often reflect on my previous actions. At that time, I didn't know the importance of reforms to the Qing Dynasty. I only knew that I was concerned about my own interests. Not only did I not fully support the emperor's reforms, but I supported the empress dowager and obstructed them, which led to the failure of the past. Now I think about it, it's too late to regret it."
Guangxu also blamed himself: "I'm wrong, I was young and energetic at that time, and with the instigation of Kang Youwei and others, I was too impatient. If I were to slowly think about it, it would be a different situation now."
The two of them complained for a while, and Guangxu suddenly laughed and scolded Yi Li, "You slave, I just said that I had already thought it out, but I was so sad that you were hurt again. These things have passed, and it is too late to regret it. In the future, if you have anything to do, don't mention that old witch."
"Yu" Yi Li bowed and claimed the crime, "I deserve to die, I will make the emperor unhappy. I will never mention that old witch again in the future."
Guangxu waved his hand, looked at Liu Ming and other guards who were following behind, and whispered: "The Han leader who was engaged in the coup this time is bold and trustworthy, and he actually let me go out to relax."
Yi Li said carefully: "Your Majesty, they will certainly be relieved and bold with the British behind their backs. I heard that in a few days, I will go to see Minister Zhuerdian with General Li Guangxin and General Yuan to discuss the next cooperation matters."
Guangxu had seen Yuan Shikai and thought Yuan Shikai was in the same situation as him, so he was not angry again. He just smiled coldly, then pointed to the guard soldiers who were not wearing hats on the city tower and changed the topic: "These soldiers have all cut off their braids. Haha, if you go to braids, then the Qing Dynasty will actually be destroyed. When the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded, the Qing Dynasty was already destroyed."
Yi Li has seen countless such warriors in the past two days, and is no longer surprised. He sighed and said, "Now, no one in the world has a braid like us that is ugly and troublesome. Now the capital is the world of the Han people, so of course we will cut off this braid that has been criticized by everyone."
Guangxu said indifferently: "If you cut it, cut it, look at these Han people. After cutting off their braids, their mental outlook was completely refreshed. How refreshing and neat they were."
Speaking of this, Guangxu said thoughtfully: "It seems that we are full of people, and it is time to cut off our braids."
However, Guangxu didn't know that they had no right to cut braids now. If they had cut braids privately, they would have been beheaded by the Han people.
...
At around 6 o'clock in the evening, Chen Hao and others ate the exquisite dishes made by the imperial chef in the palace together and returned to the Golden Palace to continue discussing matters.
After everyone discussed for a while, Yuan Shikai suddenly said: "Chairman, given your attitude towards Manchu people, I have a relatively relieved suggestion. I hope you can adopt it."
"Oh" Chen Hao's eyes lit up. During today's discussion, Yuan Shikai repeatedly advised him, indicating that for the sake of his future, Yuan Shikai has now settled his identity and tried his best to integrate into Chen Hao's circle. This is a great thing.
"General Yuan, do you have any good suggestions? Come and listen quickly," Chen Hao said with interest.
"Okay." Yuan Shikai said slowly: "According to what his subordinates know, in the future, Guangxu stepped down, and the Chairman will gradually arrange for Manchus to start mining, build roads, and even fight for us.
Since the Chairman strictly ordered that the whole person cut his braids not be allowed to be cut, his subordinates suggested that in this process, we can use the braids as a reward, allowing the man who made contributions to cut off his braids and become one of us Han people.
In the future, the land and houses will be distributed to these people who have cut off their braids."
Everyone agreed with Yuan Shikai's suggestion.
Xu Xilin praised: "It is good that after the Manchus asked us Han people to serve them and make great contributions, we could only carry the flag and become Manchus. Now, we can only cut off the stinky braids and become one of the Han people by using their own ways and treating them. Now, after we make contributions to the Manchus who serve us, we can only cut off the stinky braids and become one of the Han people. General Yuan's method is indeed relieved."
"Haha" Chen Hao also laughed: "General Yuan's suggestion is really appropriate. Originally, I think not many Manchu people can make contributions, and I plan to directly divide the land and houses for Manchu people who have made contributions. Now, there is an additional intermediate link to cut braids, which saves me a lot of money."
Seeing that Chen Hao and others were all very kind and praised his suggestions, Yuan Shikai was very humble on the surface, but actually was very happy inside, and he had more confidence in his future.
After Chen Hao finished speaking, Huang Yunya, who had been silently recording, could not help but interrupt and said, "Chairman, you have been talking for so long and forgot another very important thing, and haven't said it yet."
Chen Hao was stunned and thought for a while and said, "My sister, I have stayed in Beijing for too little time. Although the staff officers have made detailed plans, there are still some omissions that need to be relied on everyone to pick up the missing. If there are any important things, just tell me and solve them while everyone is there."
Seeing Xu Xilin, Qiu Jin and others looking at him curiously, Huang Yunya's pretty face flushed and sighed: "Oh, Chairman, most of what you just said is related to the vital interests of your men. But how can you forget the important things about women in China?"...
