The first act of private chat between monarch and minister
Emperor Guangxu: Pass on my will! Xuan Kang Youwei entered the temple!
(Miss Etiquette holds the card of "Private Talks between the Monarch and the Minister" to attract Kang Youwei. )
Kang Youwei: See you later, Minister. Long live.
Emperor Guangxu: Kang Youwei, don't bother, come to me! (Kang Youwei approaches Emperor Guangxu and sits down)
Emperor Guangxu: Kang Youwei, I heard that you are very talented. Do you have any specific suggestions for political reform?
Kang Youwei: I have thought about it. (Show me "Ying Zhao Overall Discount") Long live! First, you can hold a ministerial meeting to announce your reform determination; The second step is to set up a countermeasure office to recruit talents from all over the world; The third step is to set up the system bureau and re-formulate the articles of association.
Emperor Guangxu: What is a system?
Kang Youwei: Long live! The system bureau is the leading body of the New Deal and has the legislative function.
Emperor Guangxu: (dumbfounded) Ah! (Staring out of the window, sighing) Alas! I wonder if the queen mother can allow it?
Kang Youwei: Long live! My liegeman has written two books for you, (an exam showing political changes in Japan and Peter's political changes in Russia). Long live! Your talent is definitely better than that of Emperor Meiji of Japan and Peter the Great of Russia!
Emperor Guangxu: Good! I will never be the king of national subjugation!
(Teacher's explanation: 1898, Emperor Guangxu promulgated the symbol of the state as the imperial edict, and began to reform, and the reform movement reached its climax. )
Act II Guangxu Reform
Emperor Guangxu: Kang Youwei, I appointed you Prime Minister.
Kang Youwei: (to himself) What kind of officer is this?
Emperor Guangxu: Don't understand? Just look at note 5 on page 62 of the textbook. You are not an official, but you can give me the paper directly. Liang Qichao, I appointed you to handle the University Hall and the Translation Bureau, and appointed Tan Sitong, Liu Guangdi, Yang Rui and Xu Lin as military aircraft Zhang Jing to participate in the New Deal and be responsible for drafting imperial edicts.
Four people: (in chorus) Long live Xie Zhien!
Tan sitong: Long live! Politically, officials and people should be able to write and talk, streamline institutions, reduce staff and increase efficiency, improve government efficiency, and abolish the privilege of the children of the Eight Banners to eat and live for free.
Emperor Guangxu: How can ordinary people be qualified to write to me?
Kang Youwei: Long live! Some officials and gentry, of course.
(Teacher writes on the blackboard that "people" refers to the national bourgeoisie and enlightened landlords)
Emperor Guangxu: Then how can we promote economic construction?
Liu Guangdi: Hooray! We can set up railway mining bureau and general administration of agriculture, industry and commerce in the capital to ensure the development of agriculture, industry and commerce; Also reward inventions; Reform the national finance and prepare the national budget and final accounts; Cancel the post office and set up a post office.
Emperor Guangxu: What about Qiang Bing?
Yang Rui: Long live! Green camp should be abolished, the army should be trained seriously, foreign military exercises should be studied, and the conscription system should be implemented. Our navy was defeated by the Japanese in the Sino-Japanese War. We should build a new navy.
Emperor Guangxu: Then where did you get so many talents?
Xu Lin: Hooray! We can run a university! Open the Jingshi University Hall, set up primary and secondary schools in various places, and study all foreign subjects in China; Abolish stereotyped writing that harms people, take some exams on China's history and politics, and offer special courses in economics; Set up a translation bureau to translate foreign new books; Allow the establishment of newspapers and associations; Send people abroad to study and travel. After returning home, he will become a useful talent for the country.
(Teacher writes on the blackboard: abandon stereotyped writing-1898; Abolish the imperial examination-1905)
Kang Youwei: Long live! We should also establish a parliament, a founding assembly and a constitution.
Emperor Guangxu: Let's talk about this later! I'm tired, please step down!
(Teacher's blackboard writing: It does not involve the establishment of the House of Representatives, the establishment of People's Republic of China (PRC), and the formulation of the Constitution-limitations)
After the third act, the party began.
Representative of diehard forces: (crying to Empress Dowager Cixi) Lafayette! With the support of the emperor, Kang Youwei dismissed our officials and abolished stereotyped writing of our ancestors. We can't be loyal to Lafayette anymore. Lafaille. You can't ignore it!
Empress Dowager: (furious) What a shame! On the contrary! Rong Lu, listen!
Rong Hong: (walks up to him) Here comes the slave!
Empress Dowager: I appoint you as the governor of Zhili to control the Beijing-Tianjin area and take office immediately. Pass the message of our palace: all officials appointed by the emperor with more than two qualities will come to our palace to give thanks!
Emperor Guangxu: Great things are not good! The queen mother is annoyed! Pass on Kang Youwei, find a way!
Kang Youwei: Heitong Xiandi! Go find Yuan Shikai! Hooray has been very kind to him. Maybe only he can help us kill Rong Lu at this time.
(Tan Sitong looking for Yuan Shikai, dialogue)
Tan sitong: (showing the secret imperial edict) Lord Yuan, this is the secret imperial edict! Only you can save the emperor today. If you like it, please go all out. If you are greedy for money, please complain to the queen mother and kill me! You can be successful in official career. I want you to get rid of Rong Lu. You should repay me!
Yuan Shikai: (sternly) Who do you think I am? The emperor is our Lord, and it is your responsibility and mine to protect drivers. Killing Rong Lu is like killing a dog!
Tan sitong: OK! Master Yuan! Please. (Tan Sitong exits)
(Yuan Shikai bowed his head and ran to Rong Lu)
Yuan Shikai: My Lord! Oh, no! The Reform Party is going to rebel! I'm here to report! Beizhi is loyal to you and Lafayette!
(Yuan Shikai stepped down)
Rong Lu: (to himself) I must report to the Queen Mother quickly. Yes! Go overnight!
(Teacher's explanation: Empress Dowager Cixi staged a coup on September 2 1)
Empress Dowager: From now on, this palace will "listen to politics before the court", and Zhongnanhai Yingtai in the imperial district will recuperate, immediately punish the disorderly party and abolish the new law! (Teacher writes on the blackboard: Keep imperial academy Hall-later Peking University) All officials who tend to reform and participate in the New Deal will be put in prison, exiled from the army and dismissed!
Wang Wu: (pulling Tan Sitong) Mr. Tan, let's go! The queen mother sent someone to arrest you. I'm here to save you! It's not too late to leave.
Tan Sitong: (resolutely and passionately) No, I'm not leaving! You guys go! People who don't leave can't plan the future; People who are not dead can't repay the kindness of the emperor! Political reform in every country begins with bloodshed and ends in success. Today, China has not heard of anyone who died because of the political reform, which is the reason why the country is not rich and strong. If so, let's start with Tan Sitong, who is determined to kill the thief, unable to return to heaven and die a fair death. Come on! Come on! My smile went straight into the sky from the horizontal knife and stayed in the liver and gallbladder! ! (Wang Wu exits, and the two bet on Tan Sitong)
(Miss Etiquette signals "End of song")
Finally, Kang Youwei summed up the reasons and lessons of the failure of the Five Reforms.
You can also go down and have a look. There are many.
