In January 18, just as the whole world was immersed in celebrating the New Year, Emperor Guangxu in Beijing was depressed.

The reforms at this time were less than a month old, but problems followed one by one. The most important thing was that before Emperor Guangxu's decrees could be spread out of the palace, they encountered strong controversy.

The most prominent one is the differences between the imperial examination and the eight-legged essay. Originally, after listening to Li Hongzhang's advice, Kang Youwei's idea of ​​abolishing the imperial examination had disappeared, and instead abolishing the eight-legged essay. Because Li Hongzhang told him that if the imperial examination was abolished, his reform would definitely not be able to come to Beijing, because a large number of bureaucrats and students from the imperial examination would rise up and attack them.

Kang Youwei was naturally not a fool, so he made a compromise on the issue of imperial examinations and did not abolish the imperial examinations, but reforms must continue, and reforming the examination system is necessary. So a compromise method was made, abolishing the eight-legged essay and increasing the examinations for engineering subjects, so the resistance was significantly reduced.

However, members of the Imperial Party support Kang Youwei's reforms, which is not a matter of small fuss. They are to deal with and suppress the power of the post-party. Abolishing the imperial examination system will not cause heavy blows to the post-party forces. At the same time, the students in engineering are all people who stand on the reformist stance, which is equivalent to indirectly expanding the power of the Imperial Party.

So a new drama broke out. On January 7, the censor Song Lubo wrote a letter to the court to abolish the imperial examination system and the eight-part essay system to collect scholars. However, it was subjected to the pedantic and absurd and stubborn opposition from the Minister of Rites Xu Ying. This move immediately angered Song Lubo, Yang Shenxiu and other members of the imperial party immediately wrote a letter to impeach Xu Ying and obstruct the reform and demanded the deposition of him.

Emperor Guangxu had just begun reforms, and he did not want to have internal strife before he even left Beijing. So he ordered Xu Ying to reply to their impeachment, hoping that big things would be turned into small things and small things would be turned into small things. Unfortunately, Emperor Guangxu really underestimated Xu Ying's stubbornness. Xu Ying, the old Feng, responded in a tit-for-tat response, wrote the memorial of "My Understanding Comedy" not only did not let Song Lubo go, Yang Shenxiu and others go, but also pointed the finger at Kang Youwei's reform and reform.

Emperor Guangxu was very annoyed. No matter how ministers oppose it, Emperor Guangxu could accept it, but he could not count his reforms! You should know that Emperor Guangxu had suppressed his future on this reform. If it failed, he would have no say in front of Cixi's rear party, and would offend a large number of local people and lose the hearts of the people.

Therefore, Emperor Guangxu ignored Xu Ying's objection and insisted on implementing the reform to abolish the imperial examination.

Xu Ying could not twist his arm and did not dare to disobey Emperor Guangxu without the clear instructions of Empress Dowager Cixi. Seeing that the Empress Dowager and other members of the imperial party did not respond, they became more arrogant and counterattacked the Empress Dowager. Then several people wrote to Emperor Guangxu to set up special personnel to be responsible for the subjects' writings and talks. Sure enough, Xu Ying obstructed again, but Emperor Guangxu directly ignored his existence and also allowed the subjects to write to the memorials directly to write to the people's writings and talks.

Song Lubo, Yang Shenxiu and other members of the imperial party did not intend to miss any opportunity to destroy any member of the party. So they took the opportunity to impeach Xu Ying again. However, Emperor Guangxu obviously did not dare to turn against Cixi head-on. Emperor Guangxu only criticized the remarks in his reply, "In the future, he should encourage others to do business. He is in harmony with the officials of the church and use deputy commissioners." As a result, Xu Ying was safe and sound. The imperial party's arrogance encountered a small setback because Emperor Guangxu was too weak.

The weak land of Emperor Guangxu made the members of the Imperial Party lose their backbone. However, these old guys are cunning and patient, but the emperor is not as good as the emperor. Then the ministers naturally have to make the emperor stand up. So they plan to use the reform and reform to design traps against the members of the Later Party.

On January 12, Wang Zhao, the head of the Ministry of Rites, requested Emperor Guangxu to travel to visit Japan, Germany and other countries to prepare for relevant bills in the reform and reform. As a result, he was immediately strongly opposed by the Minister of Rites Xu Yingdi. He refused to deliver memorials to Wang Zhao on behalf of Wang Zhao, so Wang Zhao went directly to the court to submit it under the accusation of the members of the imperial party. He impeached the Minister of Rites Xu Ying. Xu Ying was furious and could not help but report to counterattack again and refuted the inappropriate reform. As a result, Emperor Guangxu dismissed Xu Ying.

It can be said that although the behavior of Emperor Guangxu successfully suppressed the members of the Later Party, a serious problem was exposed. Emperor Guangxu's own members of the Emperor's own Emperor's Party were not really thinking about helping Emperor Guangxu to reform. The reason why they supported the reform was because they wanted to compete for power and profit with the members of the Later Party. In the eyes of the members of the Emperor's Party, the reform was just because they used the tools of the land. Whether they could succeed was not interested.

Facing the frequent attacks of the members of the Imperial Party, the Queen of the Later Party was surprisingly calm. How could the party members cry in front of her? Tears and noses were snot. Empress Dowager Cixi was as stable as Mount Tai. It seemed that she had given up seizing power from Emperor Guangxu.

However, the cunning Prince Gong Yixin saw the mentality and strategy of his sister-in-law. It was nothing more than making the party members get angry.

After that, she raised her arms and shouted, and she would definitely catch all the members of Emperor Guangxu and the Imperial Party and the members of the Restoration.

In Yixin's opinion, this old sister-in-law is preparing to take down Emperor Guangxu all at once. Perhaps she has begun to think about abolishing Emperor Guangxu and establishing a new king in her heart.

Since Cixi is still accumulating strength to counterattack, Yixin will naturally not sing a counterattack with Emperor Guangxu at this time. Otherwise, what should I do if Cixi doesn’t give her a disaster after it will cause her to be misleading?

So Yixin took over a matter that did not offend Cixi or rebelled against Emperor Guangxu's reforms and planned to build the Jingshi University Hall. The Jingshi University Hall was originally handled by Xu Ying and Yi, but Xu Ying was dismissed halfway, so Yixin naturally did the job himself. In the winter, it was really embarrassing that the old man Yixin, who chose the site for the Jingshi University Hall.

However, Yixin used this excuse to approach Zhang Yunfei, because Zhang Yunfei has been overseas for several years and is well aware of the coordination of overseas schools. In fact, Yixin did this so that she could talk more to Zhang Yunfei and get close to her. By the way, she could also explore the way for her daughter, right?

In fact, Yixin didn’t know that Zhang Yunfei was no longer the man Yunfei of the past, but from later generations. He had long forgotten all the things he had with Yixin’s daughter Princess Ningxiang before. How could he still remember the hatred?

I heard that Yi Xin asked her to choose a location for the Peking University, which made Zhang Yunfei very happy. You should know that this Peking University is the famous Peking University in China in the later generations!

Zhang Yunfei has always been careful about the reform and tried not to participate in the political rights struggle. The only thing he had to do was to make Emperor Guangxu think that he was a supporter of the reform, and to make Cixi think that he was a good and obedient child. This typical fence-bearing character surprised the old men in the capital and admired them very much.

The reason why he participated in the site selection task of the Beijing University is because Zhang Yunfei knew that the Beijing University was the only one who survived the Xuxu coup. In other words, Cixi was not disgusted with this university, so Zhang Yunfei dared to participate.

In history, one day after the Wu reform, Empress Dowager Cixi took a coup and deposed all the new policies issued by Emperor Guangxu, but only the Peking University Hall was retained. The key to the Peking University Hall being the only survivor after the "Wu Revolution" was the attitude of Empress Dowager Cixi. In the late Qing Dynasty, internal and external troubles, Empress Dowager Cixi could only rely on stubborn and conservative schools to maintain her feudal regime. However, these dynamic factions lacked practical ability to do things, and all specific matters outside leadership could only be handled by new people. The cultivation of new people requires new methods, and the Peking University Hall would assume this important task.

Therefore, Empress Dowager Cixi not only adopted a tolerant attitude towards the University of the Capital, but also basically adopted a default attitude towards a large number of schools established by provincial capitals and prefectures across the country under the influence of reform, allowing them to continue to exist and develop. On the fifth day after the "Wu Change" (September 26, 1898), the University of the Capital was terrified to wait for the bad luck to come, but Empress Dowager Cixi said in her edict: "The University of the Capital should continue to be established in order to cultivate talents, and with her words, the University of the Capital was able to survive the disaster and became the only survivor of the many new policies of the "Wu Change".

Now that Zhang Yunfei is coming to choose a location for the future Peking University, he is of course excited. Originally, Zhang Yunfei wanted to make a fuss, so that the Beijing University was built opposite the Forbidden City to facilitate future students to visit.

However, after thinking that it would curse from the ministers of the court, Zhang Yunfei gave up this idea. Of course, he knew the location of the Capital University in his heart. However, in order to pretend, he and Yixin ran all over the city of Beijing and chose the place and reported it to Emperor Guangxu for approval.

The Peking University Hall was originally the earliest National University building in my country organized by Emperor Guangxu during the Xuxu Reformation in 1898 in the Neima Temple in Di'anmen, Beijing. The Minister of Personnel Sun Jia manages the affairs of the university hall as the minister of management. The university hall's school policy is to "use both Chinese and Western" and its purpose is to "educate talents and pay attention to current affairs". The courses are divided into two categories: ordinary learning and specialized learning.

During his busy time at the Capital University, Yixin talked to Zhang Yunfei about the reform and Zhang Yunfei overseas. However, Zhang Yunfei told Yixin about the matter that mattered no matter what, and the important sensitive question was just a smile. Especially when Yixin asked about the reform and reform, Zhang Yunfei laughed and changed it to another topic.

In Zhang Yunfei's opinion, it is good to have Kang Youwei's reform and reform, but it has not caught up with the good times and has become a tool used by the Imperial Party to deal with the rear party, and it is also facing a huge rear party force. It would be strange if it does not fail!

It would be better if you fight, both sides will be hurt! It would be even better if everyone in the world is disappointed with you! Zhang Yunfei is happy with the mutual destruction between the emperor and the empress!
