In the capital, the residences of the princes and ministers were in chaos.
When they first received the news that someone was rebelling, they didn't take it seriously.
Rebellion?
Forget it. Even if the Qing Dynasty was weak, the capital was still very strong.
As long as it's not a foreigner attack, our Qing Dynasty will be able to withstand it.
In the end, almost all of the 40,000 guards in the capital were wiped out in one wave.
By the time they felt that something was wrong and wanted to leave the capital, it was already too late.
Be it the inner city or the outer city, all the city gates had been occupied by Chen Ling's subordinates. They could not escape even if they wanted to.
As for the tunnel, it was no joke.
There was a tunnel leading to the outside of the palace, but the exit was still in the capital, not outside the city.
As for the officials, their mansions did not even have a tunnel.
When they found out that the rebel army had taken over the Forbidden City and all the city gates, sealing off the entire capital, they were all dumbfounded.
As more and more bad news came, these people became more and more afraid.
At home, she was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, pacing around the courtyard.
Some of them even brought their own guards to rescue the emperor. However, before they reached the Forbidden City, they were killed by the Bio-Human soldiers who were training on the way.
With the end of the gunfire in Beijing, what these people were worried about finally happened.
The eunuchs, led by ten Bio-Human soldiers, knocked on their doors. Even if they did not want to go to Taihe Palace, they had no choice but to follow.
Because those who insisted on not going had already been killed.
Chen Ling ate his meal and waited for more than an hour before returning to Taihe Palace.
At this moment, all the officials had arrived and were kneeling around Guangxu, wailing.
"Oh…who died? Why are you crying so sadly?”
Chen Ling walked into Taihe Palace and sat on the dragon throne as he asked curiously.
"Traitor, you can't…"
Bang!
An official wanted to scold Chen Ling when he saw him, but before he could finish, he was shot dead by Chen Ling.
"Do you have any objections to me sitting here?”
Chen Ling fiddled with the pistol in his hand and smiled at the civil and military officials in front of him.
This time, no one spoke. They all lowered their heads and did not dare to look at Chen Ling.
"A bunch of trash…Tell me, why were you crying just now? Who died?”Chen Ling continued to ask.
In the end, no one spoke. No one answered Chen Ling's question.
Bang!
Chen Ling fired another shot and killed another official.
"You don't want to talk, right? Then I'll kill them one by one.”Chen Ling said coldly.
"Yes…the Empress Dowager…has passed away.”
An official saw Chen Ling looking at him and quickly replied.
"Ah…Cixi died? How did he die? Where's the imperial physician? Tell me how she died.”
Chen Ling was stunned for a moment. He did not expect Cixi to die just like that.
The imperial doctor quickly explained to Chen Ling.
After listening for a long time, Chen Ling finally understood that he had died of a brain hemorrhage due to a sudden burst of anger.
"Sigh…he died just like that.”
Chen Ling was very helpless. If he had known earlier, he would not have angered her. He originally wanted to let Cixi see how he would remove the roots of the Qing Dynasty.
He wanted her to experience the helplessness, sorrow, and despair of a country being destroyed.
Who would have thought that she would be so angry that she would hang up in an instant?
Chen Ling was very unhappy, so the way he looked at the officials was even more unhappy.
"Cixi is dead. Why aren't you crying? You bunch of heartless things, why are you crying?”Chen Ling shouted at the ministers.
The current ministers were all promoted by Cixi because the ministers promoted by Guangxu were all killed by Cixi during the 1898 reform.
Bang!
Chen Ling fired another shot and killed another official.
"Don't you understand? I'll kill whoever doesn't cry.”
After hearing Chen Ling's ruthless words and looking at the Minister of Works lying on the ground with his eyes wide open, the group of ministers immediately began to wail.
"A bunch of cheap bones. How can the country be good with just you birdmen governing the country?
They didn't have any backbone at all. They were all cowardly and could fight with the Donglin Party at the end of the Ming Dynasty.”
Looking at the group of wailing ministers, Chen Ling was truly convinced.
With these dog-shit ministers, it would be strange if the country did not perish.
Even if there was one with a backbone, it would be fine. In the end, there was none.
In fact, Chen Ling did not know that there was one person with backbone among them. That was Prince Su, Aisin Gioro Shanqi.
Prince Su was one of the 12 Iron Hat Kings of the Qing Dynasty. He was also a capable minister and very loyal to the Qing Dynasty. He was also the founder of the modern police system and the father of Kawashima Yoshiko.
Unfortunately, this loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty was the first to be killed by Chen Ling.
