Chapter 1276 I am a legend
In 1952 AD, Guan Xuqing was 80 years old, and it had been 20 years since he lived in the eldest prince Pu Yin.

On this morning, in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Imperial Palace of the Forbidden City, there were displays of the emperor's brine books, umbrella covers, cloaks, banners, festival battleaxes, bows and arrows, knives, halberds, scorpions, spears, fans, furnaces, bottles, bowls, Bamboo, chair, star brush, imperial stick, brown recommendation, static whip, flag melon, and my stick are all complete!There are yellow covers and cloud pans in Danchi, an imperial edict is set in the east of the hall, and a yellow case is set in Danbi.Outside the Meridian Gate, there are Longting and Xiangting.Clouds and golden phoenixes, which are both practical and decorative, are placed in the pheasant mouth of Tiananmen Tower, and there is a Xuanzhao platform in the east.The princes and officials all dressed up in court clothes gathered at the Meridian Gate.

Guan Xuqing came to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, walked slowly to the throne, and sat down upright. He was actually very excited, but he tried his best to restrain himself and never let himself show any haste!

He accepted the worship of the princes and ministers, and his appearance appeared unprecedentedly serious and unprecedentedly majestic!However, more than 70 years ago, the scene of the "pro-government" ceremony held by the former Qing court for him flashed in front of his eyes and in his heart one scene after another, and he was only four years old at that time!Among all the memories at that time, the one that left the deepest impression on him was the feeling when he sat on the same throne to accept the worship of the princes and ministers: he only felt empty in his heart, and his whole body was at a loss, as if he was hanging in the sky. In the black night sky between the dangerous cliff and the abyss, at this time, he is already 80 years old!He has been in power for 76 years!At this time, sitting here, looking at the dark crowd of ministers, I only feel that my heart is still, and I no longer have the feeling of passionate worship.

After the pilgrimage, Hu Shi, the former Minister of Culture, took the "Convention Law of the Republic of China" that had been treasured at the Qianqing Gate, and sent it to the eaves of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and displayed the edict on the yellow case set up in Danbi. superior.After the princes and ministers saluted the edict, they held the edict into the Danchi, put it in the cloud plate placed in it, and covered it with a yellow cover.

Hu Shi led the way with a cloud disk containing the "Convention of the Republic of China", and walked out of the Taihe Gate from the middle road, and other civil and military officials followed them, walking slowly.After the group of them came outside the Meridian Gate, Hu Shi put the cloud pan into the Dragon Pavilion.Then, eight eunuchs lifted the Dragon Pavilion and sent it to the south of the bridge outside Tiananmen Square. At the same time, Hu Shi and other civil and military officials also followed the Dragon Pavilion.Hu Shi took the cloud disk out of the Dragon Pavilion and placed it on the yellow table on the high platform.

According to the general rules of issuing imperial edicts, the emperor does not have to go up to the Tiananmen Tower to listen to the imperial edict recited by the imperial edict himself.However, in order to show that he paid special attention to the ceremony of promulgating the "Constitution of the Republic of China", Guan Xuqing broke the general regulations for issuing imperial edicts. On the throne, together with civil and military officials, listen to the Xuanzhao officer recite the "Constitution of the Republic of China".

On the south side of the bridge outside Tiananmen Square, the civil and military officials standing in order to the north knelt down together according to etiquette, and the ink was spread on the ground.

After the sound of the whip, the audience was silent.

A proclaiming official with dazzling court clothes stepped onto the high platform. He first stood facing the north, facing Guan Xuqing, who was sitting upright on the Tiananmen Tower, respectfully and meticulously performed three kneeling and nine kowtowing salutes, and then he stood Get up, take out the "Constitution of the Republic of China" from the cloud disk on the yellow case, and hold it with both hands, then stand facing west, and recite the imperial edict in a straight voice.

At the beginning of the founding of China, I took the position of extreme position, guarded against fear day and night, and worried that I would not be able to live up to the expectations of the people.Husband China's political poison has been rampant for more than two hundred years. Once the power of the people is used to pay for it, the incident will only last for a few decades, and the horse has stepped into more than ten countries and regions. Since history, there has been no success. There is also the speed of the past.The matter of construction is urgent, so the responsibility of organizing the Republic of China belongs to each other.In terms of the concept of self-promotion and ability, I am old and dare not let it go.It is the purpose of using the right to vote for Pu Yinmian to follow the people, to sweep away the poison of feudalism, to confirm the republic, to benefit the people's livelihood, to achieve the purpose of prosperity, and to fulfill the wishes of the people.Dare to speak out for the people. "

After the Xuanzhao officer recited the edict, the civil and military officials bowed three times and kowtowed respectfully together, and shouted "Long live" to the emperor.

The Xuanzhao officer held the edict solemnly, and walked up the Tiananmen Tower step by step, and came to the cloud and golden phoenix placed in the mouth of the pheasant.He put the imperial edict in the colorful clouds, put it in the mouth of the golden phoenix with seven treasures, and then let it hang down slowly from the Tiananmen Tower with a colorful rope.

Hu Shi received the "Convention of the Republic of China" that was sent down to Tiananmen Tower by the golden phoenix holding a cloud in his hand, and placed it in the Dragon Pavilion again.

The eight eunuchs raised the Dragon Pavilion again, walked out of the Daqing Gate to the yamen of the Ministry of Rites amidst the lively music.

When Longting arrived at the Prime Minister's Office, Hu Shi also led his subordinate officials back to his office.

The "Constitution of the Republic of China" was published in all regions and provinces across the country on the second day.

Guan Xuqing returned to the harem and saw the white-haired Jingfen looking at the familiar furnishings in the palace in a daze, he smiled and caressed his wife's back: "These are all external things, there is nothing worth nostalgic about. "

Jingfen turned her head and said, "It's not nostalgia. After all, I've lived here for so many years, and every plant and tree has feelings. Now I have to leave."

Guan Xuqing sighed and said: "Everything in the world is changing one after another, whether it is prosperous or rich, there will always be a time when it will be wiped out. Let's go, it's getting late."

Jingfen nodded, and walked out of Kunning Palace with Guan Xuqing.

Outside, Wang Shang took the lead, knelt down and overwhelmed a large group of people, all of whom were old people who often waited in the palace. Wang Shang said tearfully, "Master, you are leaving. Everyone is reluctant to part with you, so you all come to see you off."

Guan Xuqing smiled and said: "I didn't ascend to heaven, so there's nothing to be sad about. I just moved out of the Forbidden City and found another secluded place to live my life." He sighed: "Let's go away. According to my instructions, the country has arranged other livelihoods for you. This place has been lively for hundreds of years and has been ruled by autocracy for hundreds of years. Now it's time to be quiet and keep it intact. Wouldn't it be better to come down and pay respects to the people? China has been autocratic for thousands of years, and history has developed to this point, and it should be changed. I also made this decision for the sake of the country."

"Yes, this slave doesn't understand the truth, but I know that the decision made by the master must be right, but after the emperor leaves, the slave always feels that he has no backbone, and the people of the whole country also feel that he has no backbone. "Wang Shang couldn't help crying again.

"Okay, okay, the country can't be ruled by one person all the time, and it will decline sooner or later. I believe that the country's development will be better in the future than it is now. Have you handed over all the edicts I wrote?"

"Return to the master, everything is ready, and it will be announced to the whole world soon."

"That's good, that's good, we're gone, come to our new home as a guest when we have time, under the stove in front of the hut, let's make wine and tea, it must be a sigh of relief. Hahaha"

While talking, Guan Xuqing and Jingfen walked around the crowd hand in hand, and slowly disappeared behind the red walls and green tiles.

At eight o'clock the next morning, the President of the Republic of China, Pu Yin, personally read Guan Xuqing's last will to the officials and people all over the country. Too many teeth.Since I ascended the throne at the age of four, I have brought down Empress Dowager Cixi internally, eradicated eunuchs, eliminated the bannerman system, reformed the official system, severely punished corruption, developed the economy, and improved people's livelihood, making my magnificent China stand proudly among the nations of the world; The United States, the British hunted the law, wiped out the Soviet Union, led the imperial cavalry, hunted all over the world, wiped out the barbarians, and everywhere the horse stepped was the country!I am not a perfect person. I once killed my brothers for my own selfishness, and lusted for my wife for my own lust. I have waged foreign wars for years and killed countless people. , Wife and children scattered.But all my life, I have a clear conscience. Even when the empire was the poorest and weakest, I never surrendered to the great powers. I bought the empire's 1972-year peace with a body of steel and iron.My sincerity to the empire and the people is a lesson to be learned from the sun!Suddenly for decades, life is like a dream, several times of reincarnation, my wife is virtuous, my children are filial and honest, life is like this, what regrets?From now on, I resign the title of suzerain of the Great Federation of China and the title of permanent emperor of the Chinese Empire, retire to the bamboo forest, and weave nets to form a hut. I hope you will encourage each other!
Suzerain of the Great Federation of China, permanent emperor of the Chinese Empire, Guangxu!
