The joke story of ancient political reform

Although Emperor Guangxu was nominally pro-government at the age of 1887 17, the real power was still in the hands of Empress Dowager Cixi. Faced with the danger of partition by the great powers, Guangxu demanded actual power from Cixi in 1898 (the Reform Movement of 1898) to carry out state reform. 1June 8, 898, Xu Zhijing wrote "Please Make the Country Sparse" (drafted by Kang Youwei), requesting Emperor Guangxu to formally change the old law and implement the New Deal. On June 1 1 day, the third day after the letter was written, Guangxu promulgated the "Imperial Decree on the Establishment of the Country", indicating the determination to change the system, which was also the beginning of the Hundred Days Reform. Later, Guangxu summoned Kang Youwei and appointed him as the think tank of Zhang Jingdang's political reform. Later, Tan Sitong, Yang Rui, Xu Lin, Liu Guangdi and others were used to assist the political reform. This movement was strongly opposed by the old school headed by Empress Dowager Cixi. In September this year, Empress Dowager Cixi and others staged a coup, Guangxu was imprisoned, and the reformists Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao fled to France and Japan respectively. Six people, including Tan Sitong, were killed, and the political reform that lasted only 103 days finally failed. Therefore, the Reform Movement of 1898 is also called the Reform Movement of 1898.
