Super dictator.

At the Anding Gate in Beijing, the soldiers guarding the gate yawned boredly. The Anding Gate is the gate to withdraw troops when they return from a victorious battle. Generally, generals enter this gate when they return to court.

Andingmen is not like other city gates where there is much money to be made, and there are very few people who enter the capital through this gate, so they feel bored.

The soldiers looked at the sun that was about to set, guessing that this day would pass in such a boring way, but they heard the sound of hooves, hoofs, and looked up, but saw five horsemen galloping, and the leader was covered Yellow robe and mandarin jacket, wearing the official uniform of a first-rank general.

The soldiers quickly pulled themselves together and stood up straight.

"This lord is so young." Seeing Wei Jichen get off his horse, the soldiers were filled with emotion in their hearts.

Wang Huaiqing took out the official document from the package and handed it over.

The team leader guarding the city gate hurried forward to catch it, and opened it to see: Prince Taibao, Admiral, Wei Jichen, the commander-in-chief of Nanyang Town, entered Beijing by order.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way! You, lead the army into the city." The team leader hurriedly shouted at the top of his voice, while appointing someone to lead the way for Wei Jichen.

Several soldiers hurriedly hit the fence to make way for a passage.

Wei Jichen nodded with a smile. When Wang Huaiqing took back the official document, he secretly stuffed a few taels of silver into the team leader, and the group hurriedly got on their horses and left in a hurry.

"Captain Li, who is that person?" The pawn next to him couldn't help asking curiously when he saw that his captain was still staring at the direction of the person who had just left with admiration.

"Report to the higher authorities that Wei Jichen and Wei Junmen have entered Beijing." The team leader looked away and said hastily.

"The young man just now is Wei Junmen, my mother, if I had known earlier, I would go up and say a few words to him, why didn't you let me lead the way." The pawn said regretfully.

On the same day, after the engagement banquet, dozens of people came to ask Wei Jichen if he was still recruiting in the army. Xiaonanhe Village was already at the peak of martial arts, and Wei Jichen naturally would not refuse. They all left a letter of approval asking them to stay at home and treat themselves. After returning from the capital, they made arrangements.

Wei Jichen got Guangxu's imperial decree, so he didn't dare to be negligent. The next day, he rode on his horse and headed for the capital quickly, without stopping all the way, and finally entered the city before sunset today.

The soldiers led the way, Wei Jichen had to go to the Ministry of War to report first, and then waited quietly for Guangxu to be summoned.

"This is Beijing City, not much different from Tianjin City, except that there are a little more people." Wang Huaiqing looked around curiously, and muttered softly for a while.

However, Wei Jichen saw the difference, that is, there were obviously a lot more people sitting in sedan chairs on this street, presumably throwing a stone from the city wall, among the ten hit, there must be one who will be an official.

Moreover, the people in Beijing are very comfortable, looking like a prosperous and prosperous age, unlike Tianjin City, which was affected by the Japanese bombardment a few days ago, the people in the city were a little panicked, and some even packed up and saluted, ready to run away at any time.

From the outer city to the inner city, the scene is even more different. The inner city is populated by serious Eight Banners disciples. Compared with the prosperity of the outer city, it is quite different. Mostly, of course, the most developed is naturally the entertainment industry.

After reporting to the Ministry of War, Wei Jichen rewarded the soldier with a few taels of silver, and then moved into the official post.

Wei Jichen hadn't been in the city for less than an hour, but the Summer Palace and the Forbidden City received news respectively.

In the Leshou Hall of the Summer Palace, four nine-peach copper furnaces were burning sandalwood, and Cixi, who was the helm of the Qing Empire, was lying back on a rosewood gilded armchair and taking a nap, with a few court ladies waiting on her side.

Cixi is a little upset now, and Guangxu has gradually tended to get out of her control recently, which makes Cixi, who has a great desire for power, feel a little uneasy.

Li Lianying walked to Cixi's side with small steps.

"Lafayette, Wei Jichen has entered Beijing." Li Lianying whispered in Cixi's ear.

Cixi half-opened her eyes, and said slowly: "Really? After he entered Beijing, what happened."

"Returning to Lafayette, Wei Jichen just went to the Ministry of War to report and is currently resting in his room." Li Lianying replied cautiously.

"Oh, he didn't move around?" Cixi asked curiously.

"It's not like this, and it seems that they came into the city empty-handed." Li Lianying heard Cixi's implication clearly at once.

Cixi sat up and said slowly: "It's really strange."

"From the perspective of a slave, this Wei Jichen is just a reckless man who knows how to fight." Li Lianying said with a smile.

"A reckless man? Let's observe for a day or two before we talk about it." Cixi was a little tired, so she lay down again, and then asked, "What's happened to Kang Youwei recently?"

Now, Kang Youwei's status in her heart has surpassed that of Wei Jichen.

If Wei Jichen found out, he would definitely bring a gift to thank Kang Youwei.

"Kang Youwei once again made a statement to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, asking the Metropolitan Procuratorate to hand it over to the emperor, saying that he set up a council to communicate his feelings, but the servant has already been stopped." Li Lianying said sinisterly.

At this time, Kang Youwei won the Jinshi examination, and the imperial court appointed him as the head of the Ministry of Industry. This official was too young to be qualified to face the saint in person, so he had to ask the Metropolitan Procuratorate to submit it for him every time he went, or entrusted others to submit it.

Cixi's eyes opened suddenly, and she said angrily, "This Kang Youwei is really talking nonsense."

At this time, Cixi had a bottom line in her heart for the reform, one was tolerance, and the other was control.

She wanted to control the reform within a certain range, open factories, and train the army with new weapons, all within the range of her tolerance, but Kang You directly set up the House of Representatives for this memorial, which is modeled on the Western constitutional monarchy and political system. The reform will naturally touch Cixi's interests in the end, so she will react in this way.

"What is the emperor's attitude towards Kang Youwei?" Cixi asked again.

Li Lianying didn't dare to make any further comments this time, but only narrated the facts: "Every time the emperor reads Kang Youwei's last visit, he sighs regretfully, regretting not implementing it sooner."

"The courtiers around the emperor, who persuaded him to reform?" Cixi's face became more and more gloomy.

Li Lianying knew that as long as she said these words, someone would be unlucky. He was tactful, and he didn't want to make enemies with others as a last resort. Waiting for your opinion, Lafayette, only Weng Tonghe, the head of the household department, Xu Zhiqing, a bachelor, has been around the emperor recently."

Weng Tonghe originally won Cixi's trust, so he made him Guangxu's teacher, but now, maybe he saw that Guangxu was growing up, and he was becoming more and more kingly, and he was not as respectful to Cixi as before.

If you think about it, you can understand his feelings. If you work under Cixi, you will always be a slave without a bright future. If you work under Guangxu, you are the emperor's teacher, not to mention that he is the leader of the Qing dynasty, Guangxu's reform plan A strong mind is highly respected by some courtiers.

"Lafayette, do you want the servant to signal the people below to get them away?" Since Li Lianying offended others, she thought about how to avoid future troubles.

Cixi waved her hand, shook her head and said, "Let's wait and see what the emperor can come up with."

Cixi felt that she could still control the court situation, and some changes were in line with her ideas, such as training the new army, she also needed to maintain her rule, so Cixi was not in a hurry, let alone Guangxu's current prestige Compared with before the Sino-Japanese War of [-]-[-], it was much bigger, and some radical patriots from the DPRK and China gradually gathered around him.

However, Cixi's vision is vicious and she is not optimistic about Kang Youwei. Once Guangxu implements Kang Youwei's reform, it will definitely cut off the access of many people in the court and damage the interests of many people.

During the Gai Dynasty, some ministers in the court would naturally stand back to Cixi's side. At that time, it was the day when she would decide the world with one move, and maybe she could listen to politics again behind the curtain.

In the Forbidden City, Guangxu was walking, and for some reason he came to the side of Lenggong.

Because in the cold palace, Guangxu's most beloved concubine—Concubine Zhen was imprisoned.

The reason why Guangxu loves Concubine Zhen so much is not only that Concubine Zhen is good-looking, but also because there is one thing that cannot be said to others. Since Guangxu entered the palace since he was a child, the eunuchs and maids bullied him when he was young, so he was not taken care of properly. , so his body has also fallen to the root of the disease, and it is a disease related to the dignity of a man-not lifting.

So even the horse-faced queen, who claimed to be Cixi's niece, treated him coldly. Only Concubine Zhen was innocent and innocent when she entered the palace, and she still treated Guangxu the same.

When Guangxu arrived at the gate of Lenggong, two eunuchs appeared to stop him.

"This old slave pays respects to the emperor and reports to the emperor that Lafayette will not allow anyone to visit Concubine Zhen." The old eunuch said expressionlessly.

Guangxu's vision changed. He is no different from before. He didn't ask politics in person before. Now that he is getting older, he is more or less majestic. He couldn't help saying angrily: "Damn slave, I am the Ninth Five-Year Honor. There are still people in this palace. Is there a place you can't go in?"

The old eunuch didn't know what to do for a while, but still forced by the prestige of the old Buddha for many years, he gritted his teeth and stood still.

Guangxu was really resentful, and the scene of being bullied by the eunuch when he was a child kept flashing into his mind, he immediately picked up a wooden stick from the side, and greeted the old eunuch: "You dog slave, really don't take it In my eyes, my own father can punish you, don't you think I can't? If you don't let me go, I will never give up."

The old eunuch was in pain, but he didn't dare to fight back, so he obediently stepped aside, so that he could be regarded as an explanation to Cixi.

Guangxu walked along the row of houses, only to the innermost small house, opened the upper window, and saw a dirty-haired woman sitting in a daze, this woman was him Concubine Zhen who misses day and night.

Guangxu's nose couldn't help sore, thinking that he couldn't even keep the woman he loves the most, he couldn't help feeling sad, and softly shouted: "Zhenfei, my Zhenfei."

The woman inside heard the voice and raised her head, but she was pretty and refined. She ran to the window, held Guangxu's hands, and cried, "Your Majesty, this concubine knows it's wrong. Concubine should not collude with servants to accept bribes and sell. Officer, Your Majesty, let the concubine go out, I am afraid that the concubine is here alone."

The cold palace is really not for people. Compared with the prison, it is even more terrifying. At least there are people in the prison, and she is the only one in the cold palace. It is even more terrifying and eerie in the dead of night.

Guangxu looked at the woman he loved, and said cruelly: "Don't worry, my concubine. When I come to the world in person, I will definitely let you out. I want to learn from Emperor Meiji to carry out reforms and reforms, so that my Qing Dynasty can pass the reforms." Become stronger. When the time comes, I will be an emperor through the ages, who else in this world would dare to oppose me."

Since Guangxu lived under Cixi's despotic power since he was a child, he was submissive to Cixi and greeted Cixi three times a day, but as he got older, he had more and more conflicts with Cixi, and he wanted to be able to rule the world himself.

"Your Majesty, this concubine is really scared, and this concubine will not dare again." Concubine Zhen's tears flowed down her cheeks, dripping on Guangxu's heart, which only made him feel extremely painful.
