Zhenlongting

Chapter 134

"Your Majesty, you are dying, do you know that?"

Although Zhang Kun still called "Your Majesty" in his mouth, his tone was joking, and what he said was not respectful at all, but condescending.

It's like calling "Er Gouzi, you are going to die."

"Third baby, you're done."

Hearing that Wang Wu, Li Huaiyi, and Gong Baosen were sweating, they had never seen any white body or warrior dare to be so arrogant.

Being so aggressive, no matter what he wants to do when he enters the palace, I'm afraid it will get twice the result with half the effort.

To their surprise, Emperor Guangxu didn't seem to feel that there was anything wrong at all. Hearing Zhang Kun's rude words, he let out a long sigh of relief: "I knew that my position was about to be lost. I didn't expect it. Even my life is on the verge of losing... From the moment Zhen'er was killed, I shouldn't have any chances."

His face became pale, with a hint of gray, and there was a hint of madness in his eyes.

At this time, regardless of the issue of identity, he made two steps in three steps, walked up to Zhang Kun, clasped his hands together, and bowed to the ground, "Please, sir, save me."

"what……"

Wang Zhengyi and Li Huaiyi stared straight at them.

Especially Wang Zhengyi, he had met the emperor twice with Kang Beihai and Tan Weixin.

Once in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Once was at the Akiyama Hall.

Every time he saw Emperor Guangxu, the emperor would just nod reservedly to those in Kang Beihai and agree to a small number of reform proposals.

As for Kang Beihai, he was overjoyed like he was being caught by Tianyin, saying that the Holy King was alive, and then he knelt down three times and kowtowed nine times...

Even Tan Weixin would secretly talk to his good friend about the incompetence of the court, about the vegetarian meal in the Empress Dowager's corpse, and about Emperor Guangxu being a puppet.

However, when meeting the emperor face to face, he would still maintain a superficial respect and would honestly kneel and kowtow.

This is also the reason why Dao Wang Wu impatiently showed up to protect the emperor.

He didn't like this kind of etiquette. Every time he saw the emperor, he didn't kneel, and he didn't kneel, he was very uncomfortable.

So, he hid in the shadow of the eaves, thinking, if Emperor Guangxu didn't encounter any fatal danger, he didn't need to come out.

If you are really in danger, then just hit and leave, and you don't need to meet face to face.

Anyway, they are not all the way, and there is no need to get together.

He never thought that someone would stand in front of the emperor like Zhang Kun, waiting for the other party to salute him.

This is really...

So refreshing!
The most bizarre thing was that Emperor Guangxu who saluted and Zhang Kun who received the salute were completely unaware that there was something wrong with it.

Previously, he went straight from the outside of the hall to the front of the hall, beheading four generals, smashing thousands of troops, fighting against three top imperial masters, and beheading the emperor's head...

In fact, he has already succeeded, as long as the knife is tilted halfway up, the emperor's head can be said to be gone.

Can kill but not kill.

The subject and the object have been completely reversed.

At this time, no matter how arrogant and arrogant he is, he may not be able to maintain his inner calm.

Ordinary people can disrespect warriors, talents and learning, and even those who are rebellious and crazy can disrespect their parents.

But as long as we are human, we have to respect life and death.

There is nothing important in life except death.

After facing death once, the emperor and the common people are actually no different. Sometimes, such people are even more afraid of death.

Because, their wealth stretches, and they haven't enjoyed enough.

"What are you doing to save you? If it weren't for the fact that His Majesty is bent on reforming the law recently and wants to save the country and make it stronger, this huge and deep palace, someone would not bother to come and have a look. At most, just after His Majesty's Long Yu's funeral, he sent It’s all about mourning and lighting a stick of incense, it’s a memorial service for this unsettled reform…”

Zhang Kun smiled coldly.

He didn't even reach out to help Emperor Guangxu.

Anyone who is not blind can tell that he is very dissatisfied, very dissatisfied.

You are the emperor, and you can't even change the way... What can you do? No. 1 meal, it's you.

Emperor Guangxu felt a chill on his neck, and seemed to recall the feeling of the sharp edge before.

The first moment is still fear, the next moment is peace of mind.

If it wasn't for this knife that killed the two snakes and injured the divine steed white eagle, whether he can stand here properly now is another matter.

Not to mention the blue and white snakes, this Haidongqing is a totem on the grassland. Many people worshiped this thing as a god in those days.

As Wang Zhengyi said, this is the effective means of teaching everything.

The Longevity Lord of Wanwu Sect, the Lord is God, and all things have spirits and exist in the world.

They are worshiping gods, rather they are exorcising spirits.

Communicating the spirituality of all things and inspiring inexplicable power can accomplish many incredible things.

For example, the method of exorcising beasts, from the perspective of those who don't know the secrets, can actually be called a monster, and it is mythical and feared by people.

Of course, the method used by Wanwu to teach beast control and psychic psychics does have frightening capital.

Previously, Hai Dongqing came and went like lightning, judging the situation, it was as if she had given birth to wisdom.

Moreover, he also naturally understands the art of war, and his level of reading the battlefield situation is not low at all.

Tian Ling Gai, who was attacking Zhang Kun directly as soon as he appeared, seemed to know that as soon as he caught it, the situation would change dramatically.

And when it changed under Zhang Kun's stress, its hair turned into steel needles in an instant, and after piercing its claws, it didn't stop at all.Didn't try the beak or wing attack again...

Instead, seeing that the situation was not good, he ran away directly.

With Zhang Kun's temperament of keeping three points of strength when encountering the enemy and counterattacking at any time, he failed to make a counterattack.

He could only watch the white eagle fly away, unable to catch up.

Wan Wu Sect has such a unique and iconic method, as a descendant of Ai Jue Luo, how could he be unclear?
He even understands better than outsiders that in addition to the means of controlling beasts, the other party also has psychic means, which can unknowingly make people fall into a dream, and the means are very strange.

What's even more frightening is that these people are hiding in the shadows and tinkering with some unknown things. They even developed the blood drop killer, which specializes in harvesting heads, and all of them are ruthless.

Even a very strong fighter at that time would have a lot of headaches in the face of an unreasonable hidden weapon like a blood drop, and it would be difficult to escape the opponent's pursuit.

Now that the All Things Sect has made a move, it is not a matter of threatening or not, but it has already seen blood, and it has reached the last moment.

No matter how stupid Emperor Guangxu was, he wouldn't be able to figure this out.

As an emperor, he was stared at by beasts in his palace and study, surrounded by powerful troops.

No matter how you look at it, it's a dead end.

Of course, he didn't think that after driving away the group in front of him, he would be at ease.

With the character of the Empress Dowager Xigong, there is absolutely no reason to give up halfway.

"The matter of the reform should be consistent and will never stop. As long as the master helps me get through this calamity, everything depends on you."

When Emperor Guangxu saw that Zhang Kun was unwilling, he became anxious immediately.

To be honest, it was the first time he had seen such a bold and powerful warrior.

I just feel that with him alone here, he can be worth [-] strong soldiers.

No wonder, back then, this guy went straight to the Changchun Palace and beat Coach Yin to death in front of the Empress Dowager, but he didn't even hear of Xigong's revenge.

What is fear?

This is the fear...

"Okay, I'll just wait for your words... However, Zhang doesn't like to joke. Your Majesty knows everything you want, and you will have something to rely on in the future. If you can't keep your promise, please think it over as soon as possible, so as not to cause filth in the future." Come, it's not beautiful."

Hearing this, Zhang Kun reluctantly agreed.

I thought to myself, what I want, you know a piece of wool.

I beg for great harmony in this world, I beg for the destruction of this barbaric dynasty;

Anyway, no matter what it is, you, the barbarian emperor, will never see it again, nor do you want to see it.

However, it is hard to say this, as long as the other party is willing to cooperate, Zhang Kun will be satisfied.

"Of course, Mr. is planning for me, willing to take risks, how can I disregard kindness, cross the river and demolish bridges, this matter, I will never do it. Then... when can you leave for the West Palace, sir, I don't know, can you... ..."

"Stop, if you want to directly assassinate the Queen Mother, give up this idea quickly, I can't do it."

Zhang Kun hastily interrupted.

Good guy.

This one looks fair and clean, and he is not very old, only 27 or [-] years old.

Because he has little experience in the world and lives in a very prosperous life, he looks only seventeen or eighteen years old.

And his mind and character are about the same age.

This was frightened, and the first time, he didn't think about grievances and curves to save his life. Instead, he was angry and counterattacked directly.

No wonder, in the history of another world, this man wanted to win over the generals, and after he was killed in the garden, he wanted to strike first.

It's a pity that it's a joke for a few scholars, a rebellious cub, to want to do such a big thing.

After discussing the plan with the front foot, the back foot was imprisoned.

The whole drama of "Waiyuan kills the queen" is like a child playing house.

Before it even started, it was already defeated.

Then, the person in Nishinomiya got hold of them, caught them all, and took them down easily, just like catching a chick...

The strength of the two sides is not at the same level at all.

"How about that?"

When Emperor Guangxu heard about the assassination and ignored it, his expression became tangled again.

"If it was fine before, but now that Tu Qiongdao has discovered that the master has broken the army outside the palace and killed the 'Spirit Envoy', he must have completely angered the Empress Dowager. Next, I am afraid that things will not be harmonious in the future."

At any rate, he knew that he was in danger and wanted Zhang Kun to stay in the palace to protect him, but he didn't dare to speak.

His face flushed from holding back, he just turned around, very embarrassed.

"Your Majesty, have you ever thought about it? Why did the Empress Dowager Xigong want to attack you? Or, why did she want to establish a new king despite the turmoil in the court?"

It's obvious.

This rhythm is to imprison Emperor Guangxu, temporarily listen to the government behind the curtain, and take charge of the government; or kill Emperor Guangxu, establish a new emperor, and slowly cultivate...

No matter which method is used, it will cause turmoil in the court and instability in the world.

Then, foreigners will also see the opportunity, and take advantage of the turmoil of the people and the renunciation of the generals, and directly fight in.

Zhang Kun could see this clearly.

He believes that people of insight in this world can also understand it.

Even if the one in the West Palace didn't understand, among the princes and ministers around her, there were quite talented people, and they would not be ignorant of the consequences of this matter.

But why, the other party had to pay such a price, and didn't want Emperor Guangxu to be the emperor again?

In fact, this is also a last resort.

Hearing this question, Guang Xu's face showed embarrassment: "It's the proposal of a joint state, and the matter of inviting the former Prime Minister of Sakura Country Ito to come to discuss politics. I think that the civil and military courts of the Manchu Dynasty fear the enemy like a tiger. If the Western countries and the The Cherry Blossom Country fully supports the establishment of the constitution, and they dare not refute it. If the Cherry Blossom Country and the Western countries are angered, aren’t they afraid of another invasion from them?”

Zhang Kun almost rolled his eyes when he heard that.

Those civil servants and military generals in the past played "holding the emperor to order the princes", but he, the emperor, played "holding the foreign self-respect".

It is extremely humiliating to be beaten up by other countries on the front foot, but there is still the face to pull other countries to help on the back foot.

This brain circuit, let alone, hit it off with Nakang Beihai, and the monarch and his ministers get along well.

It's all taken for granted.

The reason for the trouble, of course, is this. If the "constitutional" matter was not too tempting, Emperor Guangxu would not have come to this point.

He also didn't have the guts to fight against the Queen Mother.

From the point of view of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, you are all united, the four countries discuss the government together, and the Prime Minister of the Cherry Blossom Country imitates the old policy of the Cherry Blossom, and directly reforms, so what is the place for these old officials.

Military power, financial power, and human rights all have to be handed over.

If you don't pay it, it will attract foreign troops to interfere. It's justified, and there is no reason to object.

People succeed in making a constitution, the monarch is supreme, the emperor's imperial decree is issued, if you want to remove officials, you can remove them, if you want to disarm, you can disarm...

It’s almost a blunt sentence, you all give up your seats and let my people rule the country.

Under such circumstances, as long as there is still a little bit of strength to counterattack, the most vicious means must be used to wipe out Emperor Guangxu and his accomplices, and they will never stand up again.

Never before has the entire court, civil servants, generals, and princes and nobles worked together like this.

Even his own helper, Yuan Shuangcheng, turned his back on the water at the last moment.

Why rebel?
the reason is simple.

Following Emperor Guangxu and the reform faction to kill the Empress Dowager, once he really succeeded, what future would he have for Yuan Shuangcheng?
His reputation for being good at running the army was originally learned from the Western Federation of Will, and it is the foundation of his standing.

If this world becomes a foreigner's business.Then, wouldn't it be better for a foreign general to be in charge of this matter, and he must be there.

Breaking through Emperor Guangxu's plan and preventing it from coming to fruition...as long as foreigners can't control the court.The civil, military, princes and nobles of the Manchu Dynasty had to rely on him if they wanted to develop a new type of army and gain the trump card to compete with foreigners.

It's a good account.

Unfortunately, in the game, some people are blinded by their interests and cannot see clearly.

He also regarded the new army in Yuan Shuangcheng's hands as a reliance.

"Your Majesty, don't keep thinking about accomplishing all your meritorious deeds in one battle. Now that the West Palace is too powerful and has the support of many ministers, if you are in a hurry, a little targeting will usher in the disaster of death. In fact, soon, they will be unable to bear it. Let's do it."

Looking at the dazed Emperor Guangxu, Zhang Kun knew that the other party really had no other choice, so he couldn't help but chuckled and said: "In my opinion, abolish stereotypes, run schools, open mines, and support businesses. The bad thing is actually a matter of money. Not to mention that the Ministry of Accounting doesn’t have much money now, and if there is money, it can only be paid to Sakura Country and Eagle Country first. Therefore, even if you have a good plan, you can’t implement it, right?”

"Yes, that's exactly the case. The officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs used this to prevaricate me. They obviously saved a large amount of silver, but they couldn't use it. Kang Aiqing planned many ways, but she couldn't do anything. She was thinking about selling some remote land and borrowing money from foreigners."

When Emperor Guangxu thought of this problem, he also frowned, and expressed his worries.

Zhang Kun suddenly smiled: "This matter is not difficult... I have a plan, which can not only solve the problem of the lack of money, but also eliminate the crisis of the Queen Mother against His Majesty. The silver will be there, and the danger will be completely resolved. It depends on Your Majesty." Don't you have the guts?"

After talking for a long time, embarrassing and exaggerating the crisis, Zhang Kun finally revealed his true purpose.

"How to do it?"

Emperor Guangxu's breathing became short of breath, and now he became smart again.

For the time being, don't think about making a constitution or anything, you have to save your life first.

If one fails, not only will the throne be lost, but his life will also be ruined.

Born in the royal family, he knew better than anyone else how cruel and merciless that aunt and aunt was.

It's fine if it doesn't threaten her power. Once she sees a bad sign, she will be greeted with a thunderous blow.

What affection?
For the royal family, it is the least important thing at all.

"Let Kang Beihai send a secret message, avoiding Ronglu's eyes and ears, and let Sakura Country Yito come to Beijing for a meeting quickly, just say, finalize the matter of the union as soon as possible, and follow the example of the Sakura Restoration."

"Still want to see him?"

Emperor Guangxu's face was full of confusion.

It was only after he talked a lot just now that he deeply realized how much danger there is in the joint proposal that he approves.

Now that he still wants to push it down, isn't that just asking for death?

"Could it be that the early conclusion of the contract has created an established fact that Sakura Country, Citigroup and Eagle Country are famous teachers, and the Queen Mother can't agree to it if they want to?"

"It's a good idea! This matter, no matter what, the whole court will not agree to it. Even if you sign the contract and press the emperor's seal, it is a piece of waste paper. Not only is it useless, but it will irritate the other party and do it brazenly." " Zhang Kun looked at Guangxu like an idiot, making him a little embarrassed.

"Then why do we still have to meet?"

Wang Zhengyi was at a loss as he listened, and couldn't help it anymore.

He felt that he couldn't keep up with Zhang Kun's train of thought.

The other party is intimidating and deceiving, and the image of a master is completely created.

In the end, nothing changed.

Still proceeding as planned...

It's just that the time was advanced a bit, and it was done in secret.

Will this solve the crisis?
He turned his head to look at Li Huaiyi and Gong Baosen, and found that these two brothers and sisters, one was dazed and the other was as dumb as a papaya, obviously they were the same as himself, whether they understood or not.

"It's not for the union, but for killing the Japanese!"

Zhang Kun only revealed his purpose after selling enough.

"Kill the Japanese?"

"Kill Ito?"

"Wouldn't it anger the Sakura Kingdom and urge the whole country to invade?"

"..."

Emperor Guangxu, Dao Wang Wu, Li Huaiyi, and Gong Baosen all changed their expressions in shock.
