"Sir Yuan, the Emperor...his, his dragon body..." Guangxu's personal eunuch Kou Liancai's legs trembled, his eyes red: "If the Emperor is gone, what will I do?"

"The emperor is just unconscious at the moment and his life is not in danger." Yuan Xiangcheng turned his head to look at the Forbidden City in the north, and then looked at the rickshaw in front of him.

"Kou Liancai, go inform Prince Chun and Prince Li and bring them to the palace."

"!"

Guangxu's personal eunuch Kou Liancai wiped away his tears, called two young eunuchs and guards and prepared to set off.

"As for the rest of you," Yuan Xiangcheng looked around and said loudly, "Follow me and take the emperor back to the palace and to the Imperial Hospital!"

...

In Prince Zhuang’s Mansion, Xicheng District, Beijing.

"You saw with your own eyes that the emperor fell to the ground and was then sent to the palace?" Mongolian Beile, Boyan Nemuhu felt like he had heard a bolt from the blue.

"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes!" The palace steward didn't even raise his head, but only dared to bow his head and say yes.

"What about Yuan Xiangcheng?" Prince Zhuang Zaixun asked hurriedly.

"It seems that only his left arm was injured. He entered the palace with several hundred national defense troops under his command!"

"what?!"

When Zaixun heard the news that Guangxu's life or death was unknown and Yuan Xiangcheng's life was safe, his mind went blank. He felt dizzy and couldn't even stand steadily.

Originally, we were aiming to be the heroes of Manchuria and Mongolia, but now we are going to become the sinners of Manchuria and Mongolia.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

Fu Yu, the imperial minister in the anti-Yuan group, was terrified when he saw Zaixun almost collapse. He quickly stepped forward to support him and said, "Your Highness, please don't let anything happen to you!"

After a while, Zaixun recovered and leaned against the table, asking weakly:

"What about the assassin? Can we catch him in the act?"

"I don't know. The crowd fled in all directions. I only heard a few gunshots, but didn't see any assassins."

Zaixun stretched out his trembling right hand, and the corner of his mouth moved: "Let's go, call the people from the 6th Prince's Mansion to leave quickly! 1" Lu"

"Yes!"

The butler bowed and immediately went downstairs to order his men to pack up the valuables in the palace.

"You bastard, Fu Yu, what the hell are you doing?!" After the housekeeper left, Boyan Nemuhu pointed at Fu Yu's nose and started cursing.

"I'm doing things, isn't that enough?!" Fu Yu was unwilling to take the blame when he saw that he was being accused:

"I paid for the recruitment of the Tieliang Bannermen Army, and I was the one who leaked the information about the Bannermen.

If the Beijing Infantry Office hadn't been short of so many people, they wouldn't have even had a chance to fire a shot today. How can you blame me?!"

Seeing that the two had started arguing again, Prince Zhuang Zaixun had already lost the desire to persuade them to reconcile, and was only thinking about how to get out of this situation.

Has the assassin been discovered? If not, can he get away with it?

If I were discovered, where would I run to?

The area outside the Great Wall has become Yuan Shikai's territory. Running outside the Great Wall is a dead end. So should he go to the outside of the Great Wall or the concession?

"The assassin you spent 7000 taels to find is this kind of guy?" After calming down, Boyan Nemuhu felt extremely regretful. If he had known earlier, he would have found someone himself and would not have harmed the emperor.

"You're talking nonsense!" Fu Yu stood up in a flash. "What 7000 taels? I gave you 1 taels!"

"Shuicheng, come in!"

Upon hearing this, Boyan Nemuhu did not argue, but shouted outside and called his servants in.

"Master, the servant is here."

"You said that a few days ago when you were chatting with the steward of Lord Fu's family, the steward said that he had taken 7000 taels of silver and was going to do something important, right?"

"Correct!"

"Okay, you can go down." Boyan Nemuhu waved his hand, asked his servants to leave the house, and looked at Fu Yu coldly.

Looking at the man's back as he left, Fu Yu also knew what had happened, and there was no need to say anything more.

9. He was cheated into taking kickbacks by his own housekeeper.

"I...I clearly gave you 1 taels..." Fu Yu's face turned pale and he shouted loudly, "Dechang, Dechang, you dog slave, get out here!"

However, Fu Yu shouted loudly several times, but his servant Dechang did not come in.

2. "Master Fu, Dechang just said that he was returning home on your orders and is no longer in the palace."

A servant reported Dechang's whereabouts to Fu Yu.

After hearing the news, Fu Yu no longer had the furious look he had just now. He slumped down in his chair like a deflated ball.

Is this the son of Emperor Wenzong and the hope for the future of Manchuria and Mongolia?

Zaixun, who was standing aside, could only sigh and curse in his heart, "A tiger father has a dog son," looking at the son of Woren, the great Manchu and Mongolian master who was once on par with Zeng Guofan.

At this moment, the palace steward, who had just gone downstairs to pack up his belongings, hurried into the house.

"Oh no, my lord!

The Infantry Commander-in-Chief's Office has sealed the city gates and is arresting people all over the streets. We're afraid we won't be able to get out!"

Chapter 256: Rapid Constitutional Law

The capital city, the most prosperous place in the Qing Dynasty, is now under martial law.

Gong Baotun quickly ordered the soldiers from the Infantry Commander's Office to escort Guangxu's biological father, Prince Chun, and the eunuchs who reported the news to the palace.

At this moment, Prince Chun Yixun had long lost his usual cheerful and cheerful look.

After Guangxu returned to the capital, Yixun simply resigned from all his court posts and became his own iron-hat king in the capital.

After all, his son's throne was already secure, and he himself was not interested in things like the emperor's father being the regent. In addition, Yi X was a decent person and did not love money too much. He could almost be regarded as one of the rare "princes who did not bother" in the late Qing Dynasty.

He once said in a sentence he left to future generations:

"If wealth is great and possessions are great, the disasters to descendants will be great; if wealth is small and possessions are small, the disasters to descendants will be small; if one knows how to preserve a small property and spends frugally, he will get by."

Prince Chun Yixun's mentality of "contentment is the greatest happiness" also allowed Yuan Shikai to gain a firm foothold in the court to a certain extent.

After all, the emperor's biological father had no objection to Yuan Shikai leading the government, so if other Manchu and Mongolian nobles wanted to intervene, they naturally lacked a leader.

But when Yi X heard from the eunuchs in the palace that his son had been assassinated and was in a coma, it was like a bolt from the blue.

The throne had only been secure for a few years when disaster struck again. The first thing Yi X thought of was not the throne, but that his son's life was really miserable.

But no matter how sad he was, Yi X could only suppress his grief and rushed to the palace to see what his son looked like now.

"Your Majesty!"

"Prince Chun is coming"

After the Emperor was assassinated, the only person in the world who could temporarily exercise the Emperor's power was Prince Chun, the Emperor's biological father.

Therefore, there is nothing wrong with everyone present waiting for him to make the decision.

As he stepped into the Imperial Hospital, Yi X looked up and saw Yuan Xiangcheng, Prince Li, Weng Tong and others had been waiting there for a long time.

Because the incident happened suddenly, the remaining ministers and princes did not have time to follow the imperial carriage into the palace. When they wanted to enter later, they were stopped outside the palace gate.

Without even saying hello, Yi X walked straight into the room and lay down beside Guangxu's bed.

Seeing his son, who was laughing and talking at the Dragon Boat Festival family dinner a few days ago, now lying unconscious in bed with his eyes closed and a large bandage on his forehead, Yi X finally couldn't hold back his concern for him all the way and burst into tears.

"Ama is here, Ama is here, Tian'er, wake up, wake up!"

No matter how good Yi X's ability to control his facial expressions was, he couldn't help but shed tears.

Guangxu's original name was Aisin-Gioro Zaitian. After he ascended the throne, he changed "Tian" to "Zai Tian" according to convention to make it easier for scholars and common people to avoid using it in daily life.

As for Tian'er, that was when Guangxu was still in the palace, Yixun often called Guangxu by his childhood nickname. Since Guangxu ascended the throne at the age of 5, he never called him that again.

But now, Yi Xin even called Guangxu's childhood name in front of the court officials without any scruples, which showed that he was heartbroken and no longer cared about names and etiquette.

No one disturbed the father who was crying for his son until a quarter of an hour later, when Yi X's sobs slowly stopped.

...

Seeing this, Yuan Xiangcheng stepped forward and whispered, "Your Majesty, although the Emperor is unconscious, his breathing is steady and he is still alive. He is not in danger of death for the time being."

"Weiting, where is the murderer? Have you caught him?" Before Yuan Xiangcheng could finish, Yi X's eyes flushed red as he said viciously:

"This king will exterminate all ten of his clans!"

"We found the assassin, but he was already dead by the time we found him. Now we've only caught the middleman."

Seven "Where is he? Bring him here. I want to interrogate him personally!"

"Prince Chun, this important person has already been interrogated by Wei Ting." Prince Li Shiduo saw that Yi X was too excited and quickly took his arm to comfort him:

"It's just that some internal matters are of great importance and really involve the foundation of the country, so I'm waiting for you to come before making a decision."

Seeing Shiduo smoothing things over for him, Yuan Xiangcheng quickly bowed and thanked him: "Prince Li, you are wise."

4 As he said this, Yuan Xiangcheng immediately ordered someone to take out the rifle used by the assassin and hand it to Yi X for inspection.

"Your Majesty, this is the 1892 Mauser rifle, manufactured in Germany. It has a bolt extractor, which effectively prevents the frequent loading problems of previous rifles. Therefore, it has been very well received since its release."

Weng Tong, who was watching Yuan Xiangcheng talking, seemed to have noticed something and asked, "What does this gun have to do with it? If we find the person holding it, the truth will be revealed. What does this gun have to do with it?"

"No, if it were a regular quick-firing rifle or a thirteen-shot rifle, I wouldn't have to single it out for discussion," Yuan Xiangcheng said calmly.

"But even the National Defense Army hasn't equipped itself with this type of musket yet. As far as I know, there's only one place in the entire Qing Empire that has it. I have no choice but to say this."

"Where does this gun come from?" Yi X's face turned pale, and he had a bad feeling.

"Bannermen Army!"

Hearing this, Yi X almost lost his balance and staggered back several steps before he finally stood still.

While observing Yi X, Yuan Xiangcheng continued, “In order to build a model military town for the Bannermen, the Emperor has always granted all requests for guns and artillery from the Bannermen.

Only the Bannermen Army had over 1892 of these Mauser 500 rifles."

"Weiting, just based on this gun, can you conclude that the murderer is from the Bannerman Army?" Even though Yi X was no longer interested in power struggles, he reacted at this moment.
