"If a country lives and dies by profit, it is better to avoid it because of misfortunes and blessings."
A hundred years ago, in the stormy history of the law change, a Qing Dynasty whose edifice was about to fall, completely banned the exploration of rewriting the people's livelihood and national system, and the road ahead of the country's fortunes was inevitably slipped from the time when six heads were beheaded on the ground.
The failure of the Restoration Movement also once again pulled the sky of national awakening into darkness.
Born to be a master, after death, the glory of heroes was left behind by four tables, and the generous righteousness was left for hundreds of lifetimes, and when the despotic butcher's knife beheaded the heads of the six warriors, a righteous soldier who preferred to die rather than yield to the torture asked the executioner indignantly: "Before the news, why?" "。
Wanting to use this question to shake the world to awaken the numbness and ignorance of the masses, he is Liu Guangdi, one of the six gentlemen of Wushu, who uses his body to turn into a long lamp in the dark night, pouring blood into national hope, and finally sacrificing for his homeland in the chaotic world.
One of the six gentlemen of Wu Shu who was born in the cold gate
Unlike Tan Si, who was also one of the six gentlemen of Wushu, who was also one of the six gentlemen of Wushu, in 1859, when the artillery was full of fire and war, Liu Guangdi was born in Fushun County, Sichuan Province, a family that had been poor and miserable since his ancestors, and was the son of a real Hanmen.
When he was a child, his father died of an illness, and his mother Wang Clan supported the poor and poor family by weaving straw shoes, and sent Liu Guangdi to study smoothly.
Liu Guangdi understood his mother's hard work since he was a child, and after growing up, witnessing the outbreak of the Opium War making the country's mountains and rivers devastated, Liu Guangdi studied hard all day and was determined to work hard to obtain a meritorious name and serve his home country.
In 1880, Liu Guangdi won the first place in the county examination, and in 1883, when he participated in the temple examination, he was admitted to the jinshi, but the world was uncertain, and the imperial court official was about to be appointed, and Liu Guangdi's mother became ill at this time and died suddenly.
After three years of keeping the system for his mother, he was penniless and unable to enter Beijing, and he delayed until 1888, when he returned to Beijing to take up his post under the financial support of the elders of the clan.
Growing up in a harsh environment, although it is suffocation and torture for ordinary people, it is a test and tempering of the heart for Liu Guangdi. In the subsequent life of the career, Liu Guang's first fist and patriotic heart, always upright and unyielding, without the slightest sleek sophistication and grease.
A career as a eunuch who cannot be promoted
Because he did not speak or act much since he was a child, Liu Guangdi, who always felt inferior, did not know how to socialize and communicate with officials when he first took office. He sat in the position of alternate principal for ten years, during which he never had a chance to be promoted.
During these ten years, Liu Guangdi, who did not understand the sophistication of the officialdom, was poor and bitter, and at home for many years to eat poor rice, he once told a friend that fortunately, the people in the family were never picky eaters, and eating old rice could also make a living.
Because of his humble official position, Liu Guangdi has been without a piece of silk all year round, torn clothes and pants, and it is often said that Liu Guangdi's children dress like beggars' children, they do not have their own houses, renting a house in an abandoned courtyard outside the city, but they can only barely shelter from the wind and rain.
But in such a poor life, Liu Guangdi never sought a single ill-gotten gain in his official position, and he never complied with the darkness of corruption.
The so-called poor and lowly cannot be moved, and Liu Guangdi, who has a high wind and bright festival, has finally been appreciated. Colleagues praised him: "Honest and upright, there will be deeds, and it will be the pillar of the country."
During this decade, the defeat of the Battle of Jiawu and the snooping of qiangkou who were eyeing the Qing court around him also made Liu Guangdi feel sad, and he was always worried about the outside world, and when the country was in internal and external difficulties and insults, and the accumulated shortcomings were deep.
In 1892, the 24-year-old Liu Guangdi had the ambition to change the law and strive to be strong, and at the time of this era of ten thousand horses, he and Tan Sitong knew very well that the change of heart was imminent.
From a Confucian who is ambitious and waits for rewards to a volunteer who sacrifices his life for the change of the law
With a bright future for the first time in his career and the burden of responsibility full of worries about his homeland, Liu Guangdi was praised by his predecessor Chen Baozhen: "Great instruments and great knowledge, ambitions are grand", and was recommended to the Guangxu Emperor, who also had the ambition to change the law.
The node of fate was sharp here, and this time it was recommended and appreciated, Liu Guangdi reached the highest peak of his eunuch career, but when the long arm of fate waved down, Liu Guangdi's life, in an instant, was also turned upside down.
On September 5, 1898, the Guangxu Emperor changed the law, and Liu Guangdi and the rest of the people who changed the law went up and down, playing every day, approving hundreds of pieces of music, and assisting the Guangxu Emperor to remove the redundancy and eliminate the drawbacks, and make every effort to change the law.
Liu Guangdi saw that the reform of the law represented by the Guangxu Emperor in the imperial court was not as strong as that of the diehards led by Cixi, and the restoration movement was also blocked by many parties, and on September 21, the change of law was declared a failure.
Cixi immediately ordered the arrest of the party that supported the change of law, and Liu Guangdi naturally had nowhere to escape, so he had to surrender himself, and although Liu Guangdi's friends went all out to rescue him, he could not stop it.
On September 28, without any interrogation, the authoritarian butcher's knife swung at the head of the Six Gentlemen at the mouth of The Vegetable Market in Beijing.
Before the execution, Tan Sitong shouted "Have the heart to kill the thief, powerless to return to heaven, die what they want, hurry up and hurry up" and then he was indignant, and this uncomplaining and unrepentant curtain call made Liu Guangdi feel indignant, and he brazenly asked the executioner: "Cursed without a message, why?" "
It means why do you start killing without interrogation, where has this happened? But none of the people present could answer him.
Although this questioning is not as poignant as Tan Sitong's righteous words, the protest words that directly ask where the laws of the state system are are three points deeper than Tan Sitong's shouts.
Before the dawn of dawn, there is always a need for a bloody warrior to bravely crawl out of the bottomless darkness.
Liu Guangdi had protested before his death, and also questioned: "I belong to death, and I am full of righteousness" Now without trial, I am sentenced to death, where is the law? Where is righteousness? None of the beheaders could answer.
Before Liu Guangdi died, he also refused to yield and kneel, he looked calm as usual, always had a glimmer of hope for the Qing Dynasty, after the head landed, the body was still standing upright, the change of law failed, the zhishi were bloody, the gentleman gave his life, and the demise of the Qing Dynasty was also imminent.
Liu Guangdi was a true patriot full of sincerity, and he always had ardent hopes for changing the law, hoping to save the country's vitality from the raging tide of loss and drive away the invading enemies. As long as the haze of the times does not dissipate, the blood of the heroes will always flow in the hearts of future generations.
The state has a way to go, the country has no way to hide, forge ahead, and Liu Guangdi, who is full of style, is facing an era of internal and external troubles, and the country's fortunes are worrying.
But Liu Guangdi has ambition, ambition, responsibility, and more righteousness, "a generous volunteer who strives to strengthen innovation."
The thorny road ahead, Liu Guangdi resolutely chose to crawl forward with blood and body, Yuru Yucheng, his body always has a different value pursuit and spiritual brilliance.
