Even Zhang Zhidong said that today's venue was safe, Wang Shizhen looked at the two people in front of him with a puzzled expression.

Zhang Zhidong and Li Hongzhang saw that Wang Shizhen was still so puzzled, and immediately smiled and said: "There are some people in the court who are unwilling, but don't forget, as long as one of them is there, no one dares to mess around." ”

What do you mean? Heard Li Hongzhang say this. Wang Shizhen was stunned for a moment, then pointed to the direction of Yang'en Hall in the distance and said, "Marshal, you won't say Cixi, right?" ”

Seeing Li Hongzhang and Zhang Zhidong nodding, Wang Shizhen was really surprised, he didn't understand that a dignified court would be afraid of Cixi to this extent.

"Cixi is the serious backbone of the imperial court, and it is also the backbone of the Manchurians, with her, no one dares to mess around, so today, you can rest assured." Seeing that Wang Shizhen understood, Li Hongzhang said with a smile.

Okay, since Li Hongzhang said so, Wang Shizhen didn't have any doubts, but did it with peace of mind and waited for the time to come.

"The emperor has arrived." Half an hour later, Wang Shizhen, who was sitting on the chair, heard this voice and immediately stood up from the chair, and even Li Hongzhang and Zhang Zhidong on the side got up from the chair and walked to the window, watching Emperor Xuantong, who was already less than six years old, followed by several eunuchs, come to the dragon chair above the main hall and sit down.

"This little emperor doesn't seem to be sad, huh?" Wang Shizhen, who took a look, was surprised to find that today was the end of the Qing Dynasty, but the little emperor in front of him actually played happily after sitting on the dragon chair, and did not take the ministers below seriously at all.

"You think everyone is Kangxi." Li Hongzhang, who was on the side, snorted coldly and roared.

This, Wang Shizhen grinned, indeed, when Kangxi became the emperor at the age of eight, he already had the appearance of a generation of Ming Jun, but does it mean that every emperor can be as awesome as Kangxi.

"Why didn't I see where the edict was?" Wang Shizhen, who smiled awkwardly, asked.

Li Hongzhang smiled for a moment and said: "Where is the edict Cixi, Li Lianying will read it later." ”

Oh, hearing this, Wang Shizhen nodded, and then returned to his position again, until 8:50, after the shouting of Cixi Lafayette outside, Wang Shizhen stood up and sorted out his military uniform, and then Li Hongzhang, Zhang Zhidong and others came to the main hall to visit the imperial abdication ceremony.

Wang Shizhen saw Cixi's true face for the first time, in his opinion, this is an old lady, but what he didn't expect was that it was such an old lady who could be in charge of the court for so many years, which can be described as a powerful character.

Knock knock knock........ Knock knock knock......... At nine o'clock, the bell rang outside.

Bang bang bang......... Bang bang.......... At the same time as the bell rang, the fifty salutes placed outside began to shoot 261 salute shells, and these two hundred and sixty-one salute shells represent the end of the 261 years of national transportation of the Great Qing Dynasty.

Boom Boom Boom .......... Boom Boom Boom ........ More than 200 shells were fired for almost an hour.

After the cannon sounded, Wang Shizhen, who was standing on the side, actually heard a trace of crying in the hall, which sounded very miserable.

But this time, Wang Shizhen did not dislike and frowned, after all, they understood their feelings.

Knock knock knock......... After the three drums sounded, Wang Shizhen, who was standing below, saw an old eunuch pick up a round red paper tube and open it, and took out a yellow silk from it, unfolded it, and began to read out the contents of it.

Decree of the Empress Dowager Cixi:

Nowadays, the psychology of the people of the whole country is mostly inclined to Liaodong, and all localities in the southwest are not only advocating in the front, but also advocating in the back, the people's aspirations, and the destiny of heaven can be known. It is to use the general trend of the appearance, the internal review of public opinion, the special emperor, the right to rule to the whole country, the fixed attack to Liaodong, near the comfort of the sea disgusted with chaos and hope for governance, far from the ancient saints of the world for the righteousness of the public..........."

What the eunuch said, Wang Shizhen didn't understand anyway, but he saw that after the eunuch finished reading the things, the entire hall had already begun to cry.

"It's your turn, why are you still in a daze?" Li Hongzhang, who was on the side, saw where Wang Shizhen was still standing motionless, and immediately pushed Wang Shizhen.

Wang Shizhen then remembered that today he was not only here to receive the edict of abdication, but also to announce the terms on the preferential treatment of the imperial family after the emperor's abdication. ，

Wang Shizhen, who let out a sigh, sorted out his military uniform, and then came to the eunuch accompanied by two armed soldiers, he didn't know that this eunuch was Li Lianying.

After receiving the edict of abdication from Li Lianying, Wang Shizhen immediately saluted below, and then handed the edict of abdication in his hand to the soldiers next to him, and at the same time, the guards next to him handed Wang Shizhen an agreement in his hand again.

Wang Shizhen, who took over the agreement, immediately opened it and began to read out the above content.

After the resignation of the Qing Emperor, he spent 8 million taels until five years, and then gradually decreased by 500,000 taels, and the required money was paid by the Liaodong Marshal's Mansion.

After the resignation of the two Qing emperors, he temporarily lived in the Chengdu Imperial Palace for 20 years, and the guards were retained as usual.

After the resignation of the three Qing emperors, the subordinate towns, the Praetorian Guard, and the patrol battalion were all used for the reorganization and training of Liaodong.

.............

There are a total of thirteen articles on the preferential treatment of the imperial court, and it took Wang Shizhen nearly ten minutes to read all the above contents.

After Wang Shizhen finished reading, Li Lianying on the side hurriedly took over the agreements, and then cautiously walked to Cixi and handed the documents in her hand to Cixi.

Wang Shizhen knew that this was the time for him to sign, without any hesitation, Wang Shizhen tried hard to calm down his mood from the excitement, and took the brush from the side in front of the sonorous aisle book table. began to watch the above content carefully, and he knew that once his name was signed, then the Great Qing Kingdom would be completely finished from today.
