Plot: Guang Xu (Tle) walked into the room and greeted Ci Xi(Orm). All of advisors were standing
behind the thrones.
2.
Guang Xu (Tle): Ci Xi, have you seen consort Zhen? I need her suggestion for reformation plan.

Ci Xi (Orm) : What!? What reformation? Why do we need to change our empire?

Guang Xu (Tle): (Came up with the idea of reform. He introduced 100 days of reformation in
various directions such as education, military and politic)

Advisor(Junior): But sir, Do you remember what the Western had done.

Ci Xi (Orm): Fight against Guang Xus idea of reforms and talk about opium war. I don't like this
idea. I dont want any foreigners involved with us because they had made a lot of terrible things
to our country before. Remember?

Advisor(Gut): Yes, we do. But this is the time to change our nation. Look at Japan now, how
civilized they are. They are greater than we thought. They had adapted Western idea and
technology which are very useful if we choose wisely. We cant stay in the old way anymore, we
need to change. How can we fight a gun with a sword? We dont only lack of warface
technology but education also.

Introduced the example, industrialization in Japan and Democracy and Disagree with Ci Xi.

Ci Xi (Orm) : Oppose the idea of reform + shouldnt bring Western Technology. See from the
Opium war, look at that situation! British has imported opium more than we imported our
materials. And we thought it was not fair for us so we wanted to refuse the trading. But when we
denied, British made a war and used Western technology to against us. Our country had a lot
of damage. From this situation, I dont trust any foreigners and we shouldnt bring any Western
technology to our country. Anyway, I dont agree with your idea, Guang Xu.

Advisor (Junior) : Oppose with Tai Ping Rebellion: I understand your point sir, but about the
pride of our holy Qing Dynasty. Our nation, our pride, why do we need to duplicate those dirty
idea from those monster. Because of them, we are weaken than what we should be. Their idea
and technology are our threaten. Many years ago, there religion, Christianity, influent our people
to revolt against us. Only the revolt was not the big deal but with pressure from outside, it turned
everything terribly. We couldnt win without their helps and even we won, we lose a lots. Also,
we had to sign unfair treaty that made everything worse. Please think for our pride carefully.

Advisor (Tonhom) : Oppose with Boxer Rebellion Emperor, I suggest that we should not reform
China to be opened to foreign nations just like what the Empress has said. Allowing foreigners
to influence our traditional management of the country will only result in even more terrible
situation. The Boxer rebellion that just took place in Beijing was actually partially caused by our
decision to acquiesce to European countries. Although the Boxers came from various parts of
society, many were peasants, particularly from Shandong province, which had been struck by
natural disasters such as famine and flooding. In the 1890s, We had given territorial and
commercial concessions in this area to several European nations, and the Boxers blamed their
poor standard of living on foreigners who were colonizing our country.
Do you still think we should let those powers to control our people and pressure our country
even more? Please take it in your consideration.

Someone announced the attack of Japan.
