In the Ganqing Palace, Emperor Guangxu was wrapped in a scarf on his head, his face was sallow and dying, and his whole body was as good as his illness. Staying up late for days and nights caused the rise of the weak fire, his eyes were covered with bloodshot, and his twenties actually showed a grayish-white face.

Looking at the ministers who were bowing their heads in front of him, he said tremblingly: "Nie Shicheng, have you surrendered?"

Li Hongzao replied: "It is said that the elite troops sent by Yang Hao raided the central army. He succeeded in one blow and was unfortunately captured."

Emperor Guangxu asked again: "Yuan Shikai, was he defeated?"

Li Hongzao paused slightly and nodded gently: "Yang Ni had been prepared for a long time, and suddenly launched a raid in the middle of the night. Yuan Shikai tried his best to bring out half of the new army. However, the other thousands of new recruits were separated from each other and might be able to be put together in the future."

Emperor Guangxu still didn't comment, staring at the beating lights with his eyes curled up. After a long time, he suddenly sighed and whispered: "Li Bingheng died to serve the country, and sent an order to have a good compassion for the people and posthumous title... Let's be loyal!"

"My minister, follow the order!"

Li Hongzao was good at doing good. Death was the most important thing, especially at such a stormy juncture. A loyal minister appeared, which was a timely help for the Qing court. He would definitely receive strong praise and should be praised as a typical example of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism. If this is not enough to calm the hearts of the people.

He was thinking about how to speak, but suddenly he saw Emperor Guangxu suddenly slapped his chest hard, and tears rolled down, and he shouted angrily: "I have never been asleep since I ascended the throne, and I am not weak in diligence, why did the saints of all generations end up like this? Could it be that the ancestors and ancestors were dissatisfied with me, so they surrendered the rebels like Yang Ni to punish me?"

This is a sign of collapse!

Li Hongzao and others were frightened! They rushed forward and grabbed his wrist and shouted to dissuade him: "The emperor must not do this! The emperor's kindness is not inferior to the previous emperor. And the wise and wise are like the saint. There will be rebels and chaos! Now the current situation is in a crisis. Just as the emperor is about to cheer up, develop an ambition that has never been seen in the ages, and create another prosperous Qing Dynasty! How can we act like this because of temporary setbacks!"

He is an old minister, so it's okay to say more seriously.

Although the other ministers did not dare to criticize this, they also politely asked for good things.

Emperor Guangxu lost his composure for a while and did not collapse like an ordinary person. A burst of tears ended, and probably the resentment accumulated in his heart dissipated a lot. Although he no longer beat his chest and stamped his feet, he still closed his eyes and looked sad.

Li Hongzao sighed quietly, able to understand how frustrating the young emperor was.

He ascended the throne when he was young and ruled the country for many years as the Queen Mother of the Cialis. He has only now let go openly. However, the court officials appointed and allocated the country's military and political power is actually in the hands of the old lady.

Now that he has finally started reform and reform, he took this opportunity to keep making moves, full of plans to create a group of available people to consolidate his team. At least he had to control the national situation first. Unexpectedly, Yang Hao was hit by the head of the head at the beginning.

What made him most aggrieved was the Wu Yi Army and the Xinjian Army. The power of more than 40,000 people was almost all the guardian troops that the Qing Dynasty could bring out, but Yang Hao was overturned overnight.

With Emperor Guangxu's intelligence, there was no way to guess that Yang Hao deliberately chose such an opportunity to start, clearly waiting for him to train all the troops. He defeated them with such thunder means, one was to declare his powerful and irresistible force, and the other was probably to deliberately disgust him--the army that the Qing court spent millions of taels of silver to train was instantly the food of Yang.

This is a busy job, and I have made wedding dresses for the enemy in vain.

With so many blows and humiliations, let alone the young and energetic emperor could not bear it, Li Hongzao asked himself if he met him head-on, he would have to reduce his life by ten years!

"This guy named Yang is really hateful!"

Li Hongzao's angry face turned red, his beard shivering, and he clenched his fists and didn't know where to smash it.

Emperor Guangxu probably recovered, opened his eyes and looked at him weakly, "It's over, can you all have good plans?"

The ministers of Manchu and Han immediately spoke out: "Please issue an order, and the governors of all provinces will immediately launch the elite troops they train to Shandong to suppress the rebellion! With hundreds of thousands of soldiers, they can ensure victory!"

"According to what I see, I can order the navy admiral to be appointed, and he will force Yang Ni from the sea to cut off his retreat!"

"The Liaodong garrison can enter the pass and protect the troops immediately!"

"Please mediate and stop the troops..."

Emperor Guangxu suddenly raised his hand, and the noisy discussion stopped immediately. Seeing him asking one of the ministers, "Do you think you want foreigners to intervene?"

The minister knelt down in panic and knocked on the ground: "Your Majesty! I think this is the best way now! The Yang Ni army is in the hinterland of the capital, and it may be at the city overnight, endangering the court! Even if there are large troops in all directions, it is beyond reach. Only foreigners can make Yang Ni afraid!"

When the other ministers thought, it was not. No matter what they said now, if Yang Hao's army was coming, who could stop the cannon? Even if its troops were insufficient, it would be enough to drive a few thousand people, which would be enough to cause chaos within the capital! At that time, the court's face was greatly damaged, so how could it be the decent state of the Celestial Kingdom!

Emperor Guangxu went to see several important officials, especially those who were mature and persistent, such as Li Hongzao and Sun Jianai.

Master Sun is an orthodox Confucianism and has never agreed to the extreme attitude of over-reliance or excessive hostility towards the outside world. However, if he wants to make peace with foreigners, he can't speak out, just shaking his head helplessly with his beard.

Li Hongzao's eyes flashed, and there was a decision in his breath. He said respectfully: "Your Majesty, you must make a quick decision now! Once Yang Ni has a firm foothold, Shandong and Tianjin will not be protected, and it will be difficult to clean up again. In addition, you should consider the garden..."

Emperor Guangxu sat up suddenly, which was what worried him the most.

Although the Empress Dowager Cixi has not restrained her since the reform, the various excuses and interference of the conservative ministers have not stopped. The reason why he promoted the reform so radically was to create a certain fact. As long as the forces under the framework of governors and governors of various provinces support themselves, the throne can be firmly sat on. Now that he has forced Yang Hao to rebel, God knows whether the storm of the deposed emperor will be stirred up again with this excuse!

No matter how unhappy he was in his heart, Emperor Guangxu could only hope for those greedy foreigners at this moment. But since this, I don’t know how many negotiation conditions he had to agree to. The court might have to bleed again!

This matter has to be done quickly. Once someone robs him of the first place, it will be his turn, the frustrated emperor, to sit on wax.

Emperor Guangxu was also a decisive person. He returned to his body with some fighting spirit and shouted at the ministers: "No need to delay, please ask all my dear friends to choose useful people to negotiate with the ministers of all countries!"

The Zongli Yamen is unreliable. The newly-upped six Japanese devils would not rashly approach the emperor and offend the Empress Dowager Cixi. Prime Minister Ronglu was simply the loyal lackey of the Empress Dowager Cixi, but was not as reliable as a group of Han ministers.

But Li Hongzao and the others couldn't even play with such errands. It was easy to talk, but when they were serious, they had to collectively catch them!

In addition, they all knew that when they asked foreigners for help at such a critical moment, they would have to agree to many conditions. Not to mention the distance, recently Britain and France proposed to expand the Tianjin Concession Area; Germany, Russia and others also sought to draw a concession area, or even rent a port... If these conditions are agreed, they will definitely be deprived of power and humiliation of the country, which will be written into the historical stigma for thousands of years!

How could the Qingliu fight against the unlucky situation? It was too late to hide. Standing on the shore and cursing is their specialty. If you go barefoot, you can't do it. If you are wise, you won't do it!

Therefore, under the expectant look of Emperor Guangxu, no one in the civil and military officials in the court dared to say a word for orders! He could look at them one by one as expected, but no matter how generous and loyal the ministers had closed their eyes and looked down on the curtains, they seemed to see nothing.

Emperor Guangxu felt sad and felt lonely and lonely. Maybe he was the most depressing emperor in the history of the Qing Dynasty?

Just when thousands of horses were silenced, one of them stood up from behind and said loudly: "I dare to ask the emperor to issue an order to negotiate with foreigners in all countries!"

Emperor Guangxu and the ministers shot towards each other, and saw that the man was the new military machine Zhang Jing Yang Rui who was promoted to the level above the level!

This person was awarded the title of fourth-rank minister together with Liu Guangyi and was allowed to go to the palace to walk, but few ministers took them seriously before. Especially after the incident with Tan Sitong, he became more vigilant and rejected him a lot.

At this time, all the officials showed extreme shrewdness. Yang Ruigan stood up after taking the risk of spending his whole life of being famous. He immediately made Emperor Guangxu stand up excitedly and praised him repeatedly: "Okay! Very good! Let Yang Aiqing share my worries!"

At critical moments, your own people are still reliable!

Emperor Guangxu made a decision in his heart that he must vigorously promote and reuse a group of young officials to make them his right-hand assistants. Old men like Li Hongzao can no longer rely on them. Other than those Wenting-style people... His eyes turned to everyone, and his face turned cold.

These old gentlemen have a lot of beautiful articles, but they cherish their reputations better than the court and the emperor. It is probably impossible to expect them to repay them.

Yang Rui bowed to answer his order.

Emperor Guangxu waved his hand to signal the scattering court. After all the ministers left, they sat between the dragon throne as if they had dispersed, as if they had exhausted their energy.

Yang Rui's movements were very fast. After receiving the special order, he immediately went to the embassy and consulate area in Dongjiaomin Lane and headed straight for the British Embassy in the first stop.

Another channel faster than him spread the news to the Summer Palace. After hearing this, the Empress Dowager Cixi was furious: "As the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, he is so naive! If you ask foreigners to intervene, isn't this a way to attract a wolf into the house?!"

After getting angry, she was helpless. Only after she really lost the help of that old guy Li Hongzhang in front of her, she realized how big the trouble she was facing and how complicated the situation outside was! Without that buffer, how much trouble this caused!

Empress Dowager Cixi rubbed her eyebrows irritably, thought for a long time, and ordered someone to send a power to Li Hongzhang and find an opportunity to negotiate with Yang Hao. In any case, hold him back first and don’t attack the capital.

In addition, Ronglu immediately negotiated with the ministers of various countries, and never let the young men in the court make a big mess that cannot be curbed! (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
