Qin Zheng looked at Guangxu, his face remained calm, and said, "Actually, our insistence on overthrowing the Qing court is not entirely targeting the Yehenara clan or the Qing court itself."

Guangxu was even more puzzled and said, "What's that for?"

Qin Zheng said: "Our real goal is to completely overthrow the imperial system that has existed in China for more than two thousand years and establish a republic system."

Guangxu was stunned for a moment. He never expected that the real purpose of the East China Government would be to completely overthrow the imperial system. This result was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time, but his heart was filled with all kinds of flavors and didn't know what it felt.

Qin Zheng continued: "Although China's decline began with the Opium War 70 years ago, in fact, it has been lagging behind the world since a hundred years ago. Our research believes that China lags behind the world in all respects, of course, many reasons, but the most important point is the Chinese emperor system. The harm of the imperial system lies in treating the entire country as its own private property. The so-called "think that the power of the world's interests and the power of the world comes from me, and I will give all the benefits of the world to myself, and I will give all the harm of the world to others. It is also impossible to make the people in the world dare not be selfish or self-interested.

I am the great master of the world. I am ashamed of it at first, and I am assured of it for a long time. I regard the world as a great industry, and I am passing on it to my descendants and enjoy endless enjoyment.''Anyone who has no land in the world is the king. Therefore, it is because he has not obtained it, slaughtered the liver and brains of the world, and scattered the children of the world to gain my own property, and never felt miserable. He said: I am the one who starts a business for my descendants. After he has obtained it, he will peel off the bone marrow of the world and scatter the children of the world to serve me alone in the lustful pleasures of the world. He said: This is the flower of my industry. However, the one who is a great harm to the world is the king.'"

Guangxu's whole body was shocked. Qin Zheng said the last few sentences from the sentences written by Huang Zongxi, a great scholar in the late Ming Dynasty. Guangxu also learned them when he was young, but at that time the teacher taught him only as a warning to the emperor's words and deeds, but Qin Zheng understood them as the harm of the emperor's system. In fact, both explanations were valid. However, Guangxu could not argue with Qin Zheng now, and most of the debate was unfavorable. Although these sentences were not in line with Guangxu, they could be used for Cixi.

After a pause, Qin Zheng said: "Of course, since Qin Shihuang unified the six kingdoms and became emperor, the imperial system has existed in China for more than 2,000 years. We do not deny that during the Qin, Han, Tang and Song dynasties, the imperial system was determined to be the most suitable system for China at that time. Therefore, the prosperity of the Han and Tang Dynasties was flourishing. However, the times were developing, and other countries in the world were progressing. When the world entered modern society, the people's wisdom was enlightened and science and technology flourished. At this time, the Chinese imperial system obviously lags behind the world and strictly hindered China's development. We must completely overthrow the imperial system and replace the imperial system with a brand new system. This is why we must overthrow the Qing Dynasty and establish a republic."

Guangxu was silent for a long time before he said: "As far as I know, Britain, Germany, Russia and Japan are all monarchical countries, and these four countries are powerful countries in the world today. It can be seen that the imperial system must not make the country strong."

Qin Zheng said: "First of all, our country's imperial system is very different from the monarchy of European countries. However, the reason is too complicated. I will not explain it in detail today. If you are interested in this knowledge, I can send you a few books about related content tomorrow. Simply put, our country's imperial system belongs to the centralized system, and the imperial power is in line with the imperial power. In most of the time, there are almost no other forces that restrict the imperial power. The monarchy of European countries is different. There are many forces that can check and balance the power of the monarch. Therefore, there is almost no monarch in Europe that can support the sky, and the emperor system in Japan is even more different. Before respecting the king and expelling the barbarians, the emperor has no power, and the real power is in the hands of the shogunate.

However, these are ancient systems. After entering modern times, the monarchs of European countries still could not make arbitrary decisions. The British king could only serve as a symbol of the country and had no actual power. The German emperor and the Russian emperor had only administrative power, but no legislative power. The German emperor was controlled by the German parliament, the Russian emperor was controlled by the State Duma. Although the Japanese emperor had supreme power in theory, it was actually controlled by the big bosses who were reforming. Only our imperial system is still the dominant imperial power, and the emperor still regarded the country as his own private property. This system that was far behind the times should naturally be ended. The republic system is the trend of the future world development, and only the republic system can make China truly powerful."

Guangxu couldn't help but say again: "Didn't you advocate imitating the British during the negotiations and letting the monarch only serve as a symbol of the country? Why should you insist on implementing the republic system now?"

Qin Zheng smiled faintly and said, "But wasn't this claim rejected by the Qing court?"

Guangxu also smiled bitterly and said, "The one who rejected it is the Empress Dowager, I...I don't..."

Qin Zheng said: "It's too late to say anything now. We proposed this condition in the hope that the dispute would be resolved peacefully and the transition would be smoothly without a war. But now that the war has already happened, this condition naturally no longer exists."

Guangxu lowered his head again. In fact, he was not convinced by Qin Zheng's words. Bi Jing let an emperor who had been an emperor for more than 30 years, even if he was just a puppet emperor, but he received education that emphasizing imperial power first. Of course, it was impossible for him to change his course because of Qin Zheng's words. However, although Qin Zheng had a gentle attitude and patiently answered his own questions, he did not take his own questions as a stranger, so he said so much to himself. But now he is just a prisoner, so what can he compete with Qin Zheng? What if he wins, so he can say that the East China Government will make him the emperor again? Although Guangxu did not have much intelligence, he was not so stupid.

After a while, Guangxu said, "Can you tell me what you plan to deal with me?"

Qin Zheng said: "You can rest assured that we will not hurt you. As I said just now, we have no malice towards you, and during your time as emperor, all the power was controlled by the Yehenara clan, so there was no big mistake. But after all, you were the emperor of the Qing Dynasty and it was impossible for you to be completely unresponsible."

Guangxu felt relieved when he heard Qin Zheng say that he would not hurt him, but when he heard it, he suddenly became nervous again and couldn't help but sigh: "I hope I won't be born in the imperial family from now on."

Qin Zheng smiled and said, "Actually, you don't have to be too pessimistic. To be honest, you are not very meaningful as a puppet emperor. You are still a relief now. As an ordinary citizen, you can support yourself and maybe you can live a few more years!"

In fact, in the old time and space, Guangxu died on November 14, 1908. Nearly a month has passed. According to later archaeological discoveries, Guangxu died of arsenic, and the person who poisoned it was naturally Cixi. Of course, Cixi only lived one more day than Guangxu, and also died the next day. In this era, due to the emergence of time travelers, history has undergone major changes. Not only did Cixi and Guangxu not die, but also due to the demise of the Qing court, Guangxu was able to completely get rid of Cixi's control. With Guangxu's age, under normal circumstances, he should be able to live for many more years.

After hearing this, Guangxu could only shake his head awkwardly. In fact, at some times, he did think that if he didn't become this emperor and be an ordinary person, he might have a better life, but at this time, his heart was a little shaken, and there was also a fantasy in his heart that Cixi was over 70 years old, and he was less than 40 years old. If he could survive until the day when Cixi returned to heaven, he would really have the power. But he did not expect that if Cixi died, she would not allow him to continue to live.

Qin Zheng continued: "But you don't have the ability to make a living by yourself now, and your imperial power idea is still very deep. Therefore, we will not release you for the time being, but will carry out educational transformation for a new era, so that you can deeply understand the backwardness and corruption of imperial power, and automatically give up the imperial power idea in your heart. In addition, I hope you can make contributions during the transformation period."

Guangxu was stunned. After being captured, he had thought about his own result. As a traditional imperial education, learning history is one of the key points, so Guangxu also knew that the consequences of those kings who lost their country in history were nothing more than three: the first one was to be executed by the New Dynasty by means of openness or secret, and most of the kings who lost their country were in this situation. Not to mention the distance, it was when the Qing court entered the pass, although Chongzhen, the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was not killed by the Qing court, but Chongzhen's prince and later

The emperors of the Southern Ming Dynasty were all killed and merciless; the second type was to hold a false position in the Xin Dynasty and receive a salary to show the grandeur of the Xin Dynasty. Of course, this is also the best result. As long as you no longer participate in politics and warn and act cautiously, you can basically live a life of food and clothing without worries and wealth; the third type is to become a monk and not care about the world, and this result is also good. Although you have to live a harder life in an empty school, you can at least save your life.

Guangxu thought that his result was nothing more than one of them, but it was all in one form. Guangxu himself had no idea that the East China Government gave him a fourth path, and it was a path he would never think of. The general meaning was to transform himself into an ordinary person and truly give up the idea of ​​imperial power.

Although Guangxu expressed doubts about this, he naturally did not dare to seek to regain imperial power again, because this was just a helpless abandonment under the force of the East China Government, not his own intention. So how could the East China Government make him truly give up his imperial power? But this also at least shows that the East China Government did not intend to execute him, at least not for the time being, so he could feel at ease. But it was just the sentence that hoped that he could make meritorious achievements. I don’t know what it meant. However, the East China Government is now a knife and a fish, and it is not at the mercy of the other party at will. What they say is what they say. So he nodded, bowed like Qin Zheng, and said, “Thank you.”
