Popular recommendation:,,,,,,,

"Queen Mother, countless ordinary people are now yelling at those local governors, saying they are traitors. And they praise Taiwan Governor Wang Guorui, saying that Wang Guorui is a true patriotic person and a patriotic governor. Wang Guorui has a very high reputation in the hearts of the people, and Wang Guorui has now become the savior of the imperial court. And those local governors, like Li Hongzhang, Zhang Zhidong, Liu Kunyi, etc., have become notorious among scholars, and countless poor people Scholars are also yelling at Li Hongzhang and the other governors for betraying the country. And they are also praising Wang Guorui, praising Wang Guorui as a loyal minister." Li Lianying said.

After hearing this, Cixi finally couldn't help but exploded. Cixi also smashed a lot of surrounding porcelain, and then smashed it to the ground and became pieces. And many court ladies and eunuchs around are also very heartbroken. These porcelains are all antique cultural relics, and at worst they have a history of decades, they are all high-quality goods! But to be smashed by Cixi like this made them all heartbroken. But Cixi didn't mean to stop, but continued to smash the porcelain fiercely, obviously very angry.

"Asshole, these guys are all such assholes, they are all liars! They are all liars!" Cixi said angrily.

"None of these governors and ministers are loyal ministers of my Qing Dynasty. None of them are loyal ministers of my Qing Dynasty. The Ai family is not dead yet, and they all want to establish another world here, and then keep the southeast half. The Ai family is still alive. They didn’t die, yet they dared to watch the court and outsiders go to war like this? The court and foreigners went to war, but they didn’t come to serve the king, but planned to protect each other in the southeast. They even elected Li Hongzhang as the president, which is really unreasonable. Unreasonable! "

Cixi yelled, she thought she was a woman with self-restraint, but now she finally couldn't help yelling. After all, she had heard about Southeast Mutual Insurance, which was simply too exasperating. Southeast Mutual Protection was simply a betrayal to the central court of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, a betrayal of Chiguoguo. They have already conveyed the order that whenever the central court is at war with foreigners, they will not come to support King Qin, but will still stand on the sidelines here. Maintain the so-called partial neutrality of the region. This is simply a betrayal of the central government, and this kind of unauthorized planning and cooperation, then what is the difference between this and regional independence?

The most unacceptable thing for Cixi is that they actually want to support Li Hongzhang as the president, so as to establish another country. When the time comes, where will the Qing Dynasty be placed? At that time, China also had two central governments, one was the Manchu Qing court, and the other was the "country" in the south with Li Hongzhang as its president. In this way, Cixi felt that she was betrayed by her subordinates, and this reality slapped Cixi severely. Originally, Cixi thought that she could control these local governors, and these local governors would also obey her orders. Be loyal to yourself. But the reality slapped Cixi hard. The governors of those places not only didn't think about coming to help when they were in trouble, but planned to establish another country here, and then abolished the Qing Dynasty.

"Queen Mother, don't you still have loyal ministers here? Didn't Taiwan say that when the court is in danger, it is willing to send troops to serve the king?" Li Lianying asked.

Cixi immediately said angrily: "Do you really think that Taiwan is a loyal minister? Their so-called King Qin is just hoping to use the name of King Qin to coerce the emperor to order the princes. Once they arrive in the capital, all life and death of the Ai family and the emperor will be at stake." It is in their hands. Don’t you know this kind of method? This kind of trick of using King Qin as an excuse. Then coercing the emperor to order the princes is too many tricks. This kind of trick has long been used by the ancients a lot So can't you see it?"

Cixi is of course an old fritter. Of course, he knows very well what Wang Guorui from Taiwan wants to do. Wang Guorui's idea is nothing more than to use King Qin as an opportunity, and then he can hold Cixi and Emperor Guangxu hostage in the capital, and then carry out the so-called kidnapping of the emperor to order the princes, so that he can also order the world in the name of the emperor. As for when the time is right in the future, it is entirely possible to take the opportunity to change the king's banner at the top of the city, and directly name all the people of Aixinjueluo's family "Wang".

Cao Cao used this method. Countless princes in troubled times have also used it. There are too many such methods. So when Cixi heard that Wang Guorui was coming to King Qin, she immediately knew what it meant. As a veteran in politics, could he not know what Wang Guorui thought?

"Rebellious ministers. These guys are all rebellious ministers, they are all rebellious ministers! The country is so difficult, why are there not many loyal ministers willing to share the burden for Ai's family?" Cixi suddenly felt a burst of sadness.

At that time, Cixi relied on Zeng Guofan, and later on Li Hongzhang, but now Li Hongzhang can't be relied on anymore, and she wants to be some kind of "big president". Cixi doesn't even know who to rely on now. Li Hongzhang is unreliable, Zhang Zhidong is unreliable, Liu Kun is unreliable, and there is no one in this world who can really be trusted. Loyal and reliable people are unreliable in ability. For example, the princes of the royal family and the nobles of the Manchu family have no problem with their loyalty, but they are unreliable in ability! Han bureaucrats are very capable, but their loyalty is very problematic. Few of these Han bureaucrats are reliable.

Wang Guorui of Taiwan is a typical representative of Han bureaucrats. Cixi also knew that Wang Guorui was very capable, but Wang Guorui's ambition was too great, and he wanted to usurp the Aixinjueluo family of the Qing Dynasty! In fact, Cixi can also consider taking a step back and is willing to gradually hand over power to Wang Guorui. However, Wang Guorui must ensure the stability of the Aixinjueluo family, and is willing to let the Aixinjueluo family be emperors for generations to ensure the interests of the Qing nobles. But Wang Guorui would not agree, and neither would Wang Guorui's subordinates. The so-called constitutional monarchy can only be established under the condition of compromise. But now Manqing's strength is impossible to reach a compromise with Wang Guorui, Wang Guorui's strength is much stronger than Manqing, so it is impossible for Manqing to do anything to him. Therefore, none of Wang Guorui's subordinates would like to be a hero of the Dragon's work, and then obtain eternal wealth. Why do they want to keep those nobles of the Qing Dynasty, and then let them continue to enjoy the privileges?

So Wang Guorui is unreliable, and now Cixi doesn't know who to rely on. He must rely on a female politician like Cixi who was born as a concubine. This kind of female politician who was born as a concubine cannot establish her own power at all. They all gain power by relying on something. Even if it was Wu Zetian, he could only become emperor by relying on the orthodoxy of Li Tang and the concubine who used to be Emperor Li Tang, because everyone believed that after his death, he could return the country to the Li family. This is Wu Zetian The reason for being an emperor. Re Cixi is no exception. If she is not a woman from the Aixinjueluo family of the Qing Dynasty, then it is impossible for him to control the court. He relies on his status as a concubine. And she can't really go outside the palace to establish her own power, so he can only use tactics to play balance.

Cixi has always been playing balance. Back then, he used the Hunan Army and the Huai Army to balance Zuo Zongtang and Li Hongzhang, and let the two of them start fighting. The big liquidation was initially stable. Later, he used various tactics to "reduce the vassal", which gradually stabilized the Manchu Qing Dynasty. But such a strategy does not actually represent real strength, this kind of strategy is nothing more than leveraging strength. And borrowing strength to fight strength requires you to be able to borrow "strength". If no one is willing to lend you "strength", then your so-called borrowing strength to fight strength is just a joke.

In the past, Cixi restricted Li Hongzhang through Qingliu, Zhang Zhidong, Liu Kunyi and others, and used the contradictions among the officials in the frontier to balance them and prevent them from becoming bigger. But now Cixi is really caught blind. Zhang Zhidong, Liu Kun, and Li Hongzhang, who had a bad relationship with each other, actually hooked up together, making it impossible for Cixi to provoke a balance. As for Wang Guorui, the governor of Taiwan, it is impossible to "borrow strength" from Wang Guorui. He can't borrow strength from Wang Guorui, and several governors and ministers who were originally in conflict suddenly colluded together, and this Cixi's backer suddenly collapsed. , so that he could not find support.

And a female politician like Empress Dowager Cixi immediately became helpless ~www.mtlnovel.com~ She couldn't maintain a balance between all aspects, and he couldn't find a fulcrum that could maintain a balance. Those ministers under him also unified their minds to fight against her, so that he could not find someone who could balance everyone. Now Cixi suddenly felt that he had been busy for half his life, but in the end everything came to nothing.

"I am Qing Dynasty, is there any hope?" Cixi said suddenly.

"Queen Mother, don't lose confidence! We still have hundreds of thousands of boxers, hundreds of thousands of invulnerable Boxers!" Li Lianying said.

And Cixi immediately said: "Yes, the Ai Family and the Boxers, these Boxers are invulnerable, when the time comes, they can completely sweep the world and kill those traitors, kill them!"

After Li Lianying heard this, she couldn't help but smile wryly in her heart. This invulnerable boxer, even he, the eunuch, knew what it was, but Cixi still believed it? But Li Lianying did not dare to speak out, because Cixi now relies entirely on the Boxer. If there is no "dependence" in Cixi's heart, then Cixi's spirit will collapse, and at that time the **** Li Lianying will also be in trouble. Li Lianying is an eunuch, and his status and power depend on Cixi. If Cixi falls, then he, the eunuch, will inevitably be unable to persist, and will inevitably suffer bad luck. So Li Lianying chose to help Cixi, and then supported the country. (To be continued.)
