"Now our Qing Dynasty has a harmonious political system and a new government and the government has been completely renewed... Our local advisory council is of great use and can be used greatly, so we must use it... In this atmosphere, I think that we should speed up the constitutional process!"

This is the book written by Li Hongzao, who had already become stinky before. The things mentioned before are all sarcastic, and the important sentence behind them is that he hopes that the emperor, that is, the central government of the Qing Dynasty, can speed up the reform of the political system!

To put it bluntly, wasn’t it that I had determined a nine-year constitutional agreement before?

Let’s look at the situation now, isn’t it? Then just do it, ahead of time, what about eight years?

I have to say that Li Hongzao's statement is quite timid. He didn't dare to say it faster, but it was only reduced by one year.

But however, Li Hongzao’s time to write this letter was very good. You see, have we achieved phased results in political system reform now? Then why not go deeper? Don’t speed up?

From a logical point of view, there is no problem. What Li Hongzao said is right and can't find any faults. And isn't this in line with the Sacred Heart?

It is in line with the meaning of Empress Dowager Cixi. Don’t you want to firmly reform the constitution?

In addition, didn’t our Qing Dynasty learn Japanese constitution? Now Japan constitution is ahead of schedule!

So, no matter how you look at it, this memorial is perfect, it is OK. Although this memorial is a bit of a directing the central government’s affairs, this...

"The heart is commendable!"

Yes, Cixi gave this comment, so Li Hongzao was about to shake again!

So, if Li Hongzao has gained power because of this matter, what else can he make up for?

"For my Qing Dynasty, the Emperor should establish a constitutional constitution!... Nine years are too long, seven years are enough!"

"...Seven years? Or too long! With the current good situation, constitutionalization can be completed in six years!"

"Five years! You can eliminate the accumulated problems in five years! Let the Qing Dynasty be prosperous and the people strong!"

These memorials come one by one, one dares to say more and more!

Among them, one of the most writeable and most telling ones was written, a book of ten thousand words, which lamented the shortcomings of the previous political system. It praised the achievements since the new policy, which was the achievements made by the Advisory Council. Then he firmly believed that our Qing Dynasty had absolutely hope and should complete the constitutional monarchy procedure immediately.

Three years! Three years is enough!

Who is it? Who dares to say so?

This person is not an ordinary person, he is the Prince Shaobao, the current top leader of the Zongli Yamen, Weng Tonghe!

Weng Tonghe is not an ordinary person, he is the emperor's teacher. He is also the leader among the Qingliu, who is completely on Cixi's side, but before that, he actually opposed the reform of the constitutional system.

Simply put, Weng Tonghe is a rightist, stubborn and conservative. His Qingliu is a Qingliu. However, he is the Westernization faction, and he often causes trouble for the Westernization faction. Therefore, although Cixi was very fond of Weng Tonghe, he did not bring him into the constitutional editorial bureau, that is, the Development and Reform Commission of the Qing Dynasty.

But in fact, this incident had little impact on Weng Tonghe. Although he did not join the National Development and Reform Commission, this person's official position was getting bigger and bigger. This shows Cixi's methods. This old lady is not stupid and did not put all the eggs in the same basket. So she chose Zhang Zhidong, a new representative of Qingliu.

However, what does Weng Tonghe think about this matter?

"Are you neglected?"

Every time I dream about it at midnight, Weng Tonghe would ask himself this question!

People are just like this, and he has all their ideas, and so is Weng Tonghe. Although it has no effect, he is afraid that when the influence comes out, he will be finished.

And this time, a good opportunity!

Look, even a salted fish like Li Hongzao has turned over, so why don’t I catch it?

Therefore, Weng Tong and Na were really hardworking, and they held the pen in a night and wrote this ten thousand words.

Show loyalty! Show your attitude! We support constitutional monarchy reform!

But this matter has been three years?

You have to say that fast, Li Mengyang's one is the fastest, yes, when he was in Panama, he quickly made a constitutional monarchy. But at that time, how many people were under Li Mengyang's rule?

Aren’t there only more than 20,000 people who follow his command the most?

Almost all of more than 20,000 people made him the emperor, so how could he reform?

But now, this is the Qing Dynasty, with a population of 450 million and a vast Qing Dynasty. Did you reform the constitutional monarchy in three years?

Although I am not very familiar with constitutional monarchy, people with some political experience will find this matter very nonsense.

Prince Gong opposed it at that time, "The rules set must be followed by the rules! Without rules, you cannot achieve the order!"

Prince Gong’s meaning is very clear. The idea that he had previously stated was to establish a constitution for nine years, so we would establish a constitution for nine years, so this matter cannot be changed!

To be honest, at the beginning, Prince Gong really didn't take this matter seriously. He thought it was just a mess. In such a big country, one day would there be fewer troubles?

But now, the more intense the process was getting worse, and he felt that this matter was going to be braked.

But what was Cixi's attitude?

Cixi also thought that three years were nonsense, because it was already the autumn of 1875. In short, if the constitution was established in three years, wouldn’t it be necessary to establish the constitution next year?

Yes, this calculation is calculated by Empress Dowager Cixi and Lady Cixi said that she is still clear about it. It’s simple, one, two, three.

Judging from this time, it is too late.

but!

"The heart is commendable!"

Cixi's attitude was very interesting. She did not scold Weng Tonghe, but she did not let go. She also disagreed with the three-year constitutional establishment.

This attitude is very interesting. On the one hand, Cixi wants to encourage reforms, and she cannot criticize those who support political reforms, as this will hurt their enthusiasm. On the other hand, Cixi also feels that this process still needs to be controlled. You can't say it's fast, we'll be quick!

So, you can control this matter by saying that you can control it?

"We strongly demand that the constitutional process be accelerated!"

"We must speed up! Only by speeding up this process! Our Qing Dynasty can be strong!"

"Young and young men! If you want to save this Qing Dynasty, you must establish a constitution as soon as possible!"

After this incident came out, it immediately caused a great response across the country. Needless to say, the people from the Advisory Council followed up and clamored to speed up the constitutional process and then accelerate the process. Now, it is not just them. As long as they have some knowledge and have a little idea about the country, they all stand up.

Yes, we are patriotic and hope that the Qing Dynasty will be good. Then of course, we must reform it immediately, because hasn’t this reform already shown us the benefits?

After that, even the peddlers and the pawns came out to shout. Anyway, as long as you know this, if you don’t come out to express your opinions and scold those who do not support the reform, it will not be fashionable enough!

Among them are the young Kang Youwei, Chen Sanli, and Chen Baozhen's sons... Anyway, a large number of knowledgeable young people have been involved in this wave of accelerating political system reform.

So, how did such a thing come about?

In fact, this matter is the local governors, that is, the princes in the local areas. They can't hold on anymore. Everyone hugged each other and found a way, and finally came up with such a solution.

It should be said that this method has also received support from some people in the central government, such as Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang.

Just the two of them are Westernizationists themselves, they are relatively radical reformists. Of course, Li Hongzhang is actually quite pragmatic. He thinks it shouldn't be done so quickly, but Zuo Zongtang is really radical, so let's speed it up, okay?

Simply put, it is a shift in focus!

Yes, the initial method was to divert the attention of the members of the Advisory Council.

Yes, don’t keep staring at our place, you also look at the center!

This method is really good. If you go to the central government to cause trouble, then our local area can do some things.

Let’s put it this way, the real hard-working people may do something that is not glorious. This does require condemnation, but they are really better than those who make noises all day long.

But the individuals in the Advisory Council have their jobs, which is their job, and their meaning of existence is so. Therefore, the conflicts between the practical and the people are naturally present.

Just this matter is also true in the West, and it is like this in the democratic system, but the democratic process over there is actually taking it slowly. The key is two words: constitutionalism!

That is, there must be a legal support!

We should slowly improve the law, and on this basis, democratize the rights. Moreover, the West is actually very smart, and they do not give out all rights.

In every election, or parliament, there is no discussion on the real major policies, such as capital or feudal? or social?

Most of the things that can be discussed are economic issues, and some relatively small things are waiting for, but how could they understand this in the Qing Dynasty?

Therefore, it is really normal for this situation to occur, and the situation in the Qing Dynasty has become particularly interesting now.

Some people are causing trouble in rural areas and poor places, some are trading stocks in rich places, and some are making noises in the court...

Anyway, there are all kinds of things to do, and it can be said that there are chaos!

Time keeps moving forward, and it doesn't wait for anyone. It seems that 1876 is coming.

So, what is Li Mengyang, the emperor of the American Empire, doing?

In fact, he lived a good life. Although there were a lot of bad things in the Empire, Eleanor gave him a big fat boy this year. This matter is big news, and the whole country is joking!

The three of the previous ones didn't catch up with this unification, so... this is really not about being favored by one and the other... To be honest, Li Mengyang is a bit over the family problem now, and none of these four wives are easy to mess with, hey~

My wife controls Emperor Yan, which is definitely a strange thing in history. It seems that Emperor Hongzhi of the Ming Dynasty was the same?

Forget it, now is not the time to recall history, because someone came to the south, who is still Li Mengyang’s old friend... (To be continued...)
