With the tacit approval of the imperial war faction, the Boxer Rebellion spread rapidly and brought disaster to Beijing and Tianjin. The commanders of the Eight-Power Allied Forces marched into Beijing, and instantly Kyoto was in trouble. The two palaces made a hurried tour to the west, which lasted for one year and four months.

The series is divided into three parts, and this book is the second. The Qing government sent five ministers abroad to inspect the constitutional government, but they were bombed by the revolutionary Wu Yue at the train station. Revolutionary Xu Xilin assassinated Anhui governor Enming, and Jianhu heroine Qiu Jin launched an uprising. On September 1, 1906, the Qing government issued a copycat constitutional edict. At the same time, the political system was reformed, and the previously planned province of Northeast China was implemented. Unexpectedly, this was the direct cause that triggered the "Ding Wei Political Tide" within the supreme ruling group. Sun Yat-sen launched the Great Uprising in Guangdong, Guangxi and Yunnan, and fired the first successful shot of the armed uprising. Yuan Shikai's power became stronger and stronger. During the climax of the political struggle, Guangxu and Cixi passed away at the same time, and the Qing Dynasty became increasingly precarious.
