VOLUME XXVII/1
EU Law Beyond EU Borders
The Extraterritorial Reach of EU Law
The Collected Courses of the Academy of European Law
Edited by Professor Nehal Bhuta, Professor Claire Kilpatrick,
and Professor Joanne Scott
Assistant Editors: Anny Bremner and Joyce Davies
Each year the Academy of European Law in Florence, Italy, invites a group of
outstanding lecturers to teach at its summer courses on Human Rights Law
and the Law of the European Union. A ‘general course’ is given in each of the
two fields by a distinguished scholar or practitioner, who examines the field as
a whole through a particular thematic, conceptual, or philosophical lens, or
looks at a theme in the context of the overall body of law. In addition, a series
of ‘specialized courses’ brings together a group of highly qualified scholars to
explore and analyse a specific theme in relation to human rights law and EU
law. The Academy’s mission, to produce scholarly analyses which are at the
cutting edge of the two fields, is achieved through publication of this series,
the Collected Courses of the Academy of European Law.

the camp, however, the messenger saw the barbarians
pointing rifles at him, so that he turned and fled.
“On the afternoon of the 24th, vast columns of smoke were
seen rising to the north-west, and it was ascertained that the
barbarians had entered the Summer Palace, and after
plundering the three main halls, leaving them absolutely bare,
they had set fire to the buildings. Their excuse for this
abominable behaviour is that their troops got out of hand, and
had committed the incendiarism. After this they issued
notices, placarded everywhere, in very bad Chinese, stating
that unless terms of peace had been arranged before mid-day
on the 29th, they would then bombard Peking, in which case
all inhabitants who did not wish to share the fate of the city
had better remove themselves to a safe distance.
“On this day it was reported that The Sacred Chariot had
reached Jehol in safety, but His Majesty had been greatly
alarmed, and had issued a Decree expressing regret for his
failure to commit suicide on the approach of the invaders. The
Emperor is reported to be ill, and it is said that the Princes
Tsai Yüan and Tuan Hua are trying to get themselves
appointed to the Grand Council. Should the Emperor die (lit.
‘when ten thousand years have passed’) the Yi concubine will
be made Empress Dowager, but at present she is reported to
be at variance with the Princes, who are endeavouring to
prejudice the Emperor against her.
“I learnt that all was quiet at the temple where my mother’s
coffin rests. Troops were passing there daily, but, so far, none
had occupied it. On the 29th, my servant-boy, Yung ’Erh,
came to tell me that troops from Tientsin in the pay of the
barbarians had occupied the temple, but on proceeding
thither I found them to be General Sheng’s men. Prince
Seng’s troops were also near at hand, so that, if a
bombardment had taken place, what could have prevented
the destruction of the temple, and what would then have
become of my mother’s remains? I therefore decided to
engage wheelbarrows and handcarts, at six taels apiece, to
take my family to Pao-ting fu, and I arranged with the
undertakers to hire bearers for the coffin.
“At 11 a.m. of the same day the barbarians entered the city
by the Anting gate, occupying its tower and the wall adjoining.
One large cannon and four small ones were placed in position
on the wall, and a five-coloured flag hoisted there. With the
exception of the officials entrusted with the duty of
negotiating, not one remained in the city. Two days ago the
prisoner Parkes, and his companions, were sent back to the
enemy with every mark of courtesy. Scarcely had they
reached their camp when a special Decree, post-haste from
Jehol, ordered Prince Kung to decapitate them all forthwith as
a warning to the bandits who had dared to invade the sacred
precincts of the Palace. As the Yi concubine had urged their
execution from the very first, it would seem as if her influence
were again in the ascendant.
“On the 1st of the 9th Moon, the ‘Chang-yi’ gate was
closed, but I managed to leave the city by the Hsi-pien Men,
where I was nearly crushed to death in the enormous crowd.
Upon my arrival at the temple, I had a nice wadded cover
made to put over the coffin, and then hurried back to the city
to arrange for the cortège leaving next morning. The
President of the Board of Finance, Liang Hai-lou, was hiding
in the temple precincts with his family and chief concubine, all
wearing common clothes and unshaven. This is a good
example of the condition to which the very highest had been
reduced.
“Next morning, on reaching the temple, I found the coffin-
bearers and transport coolies on the spot. But, unfortunately,
in my hurry, I failed to notice that the undertakers had
supplied the frame, on which the coffin is carried, of a size
smaller than had been agreed upon, so that instead of sixteen
bearers there were but eight. We started, however, and the
procession’s appearance of panic-stricken fugitives was most
distressing to contemplate. But what could I do? The first and
only object in my mind was to protect my mother’s coffin. I
have omitted to state that my small servant-boy, Yung ’Erh,
had started to accompany the coffin on foot. But, after they
had started, it occurred to me that the lad could never stand
so long a journey, and that should my mother be aware of it,
she would be extremely anxious about him. Therefore, I
quickly engaged another wheelbarrow for Yung ’Erh, and
bade the coolies hurry after the procession.
“On returning home I felt uneasy about the jolting which my
mother’s coffin must have experienced on the undersized
frame. I went, therefore, to the undertakers and expostulated
with them for having cheated me. After much altercation they
agreed to change the frame, but I was to pay two taels more
for the larger size. I subsequently learned that they failed to
keep their promise, but there was no good to be got by suing
them for breach of faith. They are sordid tricksters. Yung ’Erh
wrote, however, to assure me that the party had reached Pao-
ting fu in safety, and that the coffin had not been jolted in the
least. On removing the wrappings the lacquer was found to be
undamaged.
“The barbarians were now in full possession of the city, and
rumours were rife on all sides. Everyone in Peking—there
were still a good many people—was terrified, and the
Manchus were sending their families from the Tartar to the
southern (Chinese) city to save their women from being
outraged by the barbarian bandits. The condition of the
people was indeed deplorable in the extreme. One of the
Censors had sent a Memorial to Jehol, reproaching the
Emperor for the pass to which he had brought his people, and
for the neglect of ancestral worship caused by his absence.
He blamed His Majesty for listening to evil advisers, and
besought him to return to his capital.
“The minds of the people were becoming more than ever
disturbed, because it was now reported that the negotiations
for peace had so far failed, either because Prince Kung would
not entertain the barbarians’ conditions, or because the latter
were too utterly preposterous.
“On the 6th, a despatch arrived from the British barbarians,
accusing China of having violated all civilised usage in
torturing to death their fellow-countrymen. For this they
demanded an indemnity of 500,000 taels. At the same time
came a despatch from the Russian barbarians, saying that
they had heard that England was demanding this indemnity,
but they (the Russians) were prepared to use their influence
and good offices to persuade the British to abate their claims.
Prince Kung was of opinion that, even if they should be
successful in this proposed mediation, China would only save
some 100,000 taels, and for this she would place herself
under heavy obligations to Russia. So he replied, declining
the offer on the ground that the British claim had already been
accepted by China, and that further discussion of the matter
was therefore impossible. Thereupon the Russians wrote
again, saying that if China had definitely accepted the British
terms there was, of course, nothing more to be said, but they
asked Prince Kung to note that they had induced England to
forgo half of the indemnity of two million taels originally asked,
as a set-off to China for the destruction of the Summer
Palace. On the 9th, Prince Kung forwarded the 500,000 taels
to the British barbarians.
“The whole sixteen articles of the barbarians’ demands
have finally been accepted without modification. The only
thing that our negotiators asked was the immediate
withdrawal of the invading army, and to obtain this they were
prepared to yield everything. Therefore, the barbarians openly
flout China for her lack of men. Woe is me; a pitiful tale, and
one hard to tell! When the Yi concubine heard of Prince
Kung’s complete surrender to the barbarians she reproached
the Emperor for allowing his brother to negotiate, and she
implored him to re-open hostilities. But His Majesty was
dangerously ill, and refused to leave Jehol, so that our
revenge must be postponed for the time being.”
H.I.H. P’u Ju, Cousin of the Present Emperor, Son of the Boxer Prince
Tsai-Ying, and Grandson of Prince Kung.

Bearing in mind the frequent allusions made by the Hanlin diarist


to the Emperor’s indecision of purpose at the time of the advance of
the British and French armies on Peking, it is reasonable to assume
that Yehonala prompted, if she did not write, the following vigorous
Edict, which appeared on the 3rd day of the 8th Moon in the 10th
year of Hsien-Feng (6th September 1860):—

“Swaying the wide world, we are nevertheless animated by


one and the same instinct of benevolence to all. We have
never forbidden England and France to trade with China, and
for long years there has been peace between them and us.
But three years ago the English, for no good cause, invaded
our city of Canton, and carried off our officials into captivity.
We refrained at that time from taking any retaliatory
measures, because we were compelled to recognise that the
obstinacy of the Viceroy Yeh had been in some measure a
cause of the hostilities. Two years ago the barbarian
Commander Elgin came north, and we then commanded the
Viceroy of Chihli, T’an Ting-hsiang, to look into matters
preparatory to negotiations. But the barbarian took advantage
of our unreadiness, attacking the Taku forts and pressing on
to Tientsin. Being anxious to spare our people the horrors of
war, we again refrained from retaliation and ordered Kuei
Liang to discuss terms of peace. Notwithstanding the
outrageous nature of the barbarians’ demands, we
subsequently ordered Kuei Liang to proceed to Shanghai in
connection with the proposed Treaty of Commerce, and even
permitted its ratification as earnest of our good faith.
“In spite of all this the barbarian leader Bruce again
displayed intractability of the most unreasonable kind and
once more appeared off Taku with a squadron of warships in
the 8th Moon. Seng Ko Lin Ch’in thereupon attacked him
fiercely and compelled him to make a hasty retreat. From all
these facts it is clear that China has committed no breach of
faith and that the barbarians have been in the wrong. During
the present year the barbarian leaders Elgin and Gros have
again appeared off our coasts, but China, unwilling to resort
to extreme measures, agreed to their landing and permitted
them to come to Peking for the ratification of the Treaty.
“Who could have believed that all this time these barbarians
have been darkly plotting and that they had brought with them
an army of soldiers and artillery, with which they attacked the
Taku forts from the rear, and, having driven out our forces,
advanced upon Tientsin! Once more we ordered Kuei Liang to
go to Tientsin and endeavour to reason with them, in the hope
that they might not be lost to all sense of propriety, and with
the full intention that their demands, if not utterly
unreasonable, should be conceded. To our utter
astonishment, Elgin and his colleague had the audacity to
demand an indemnity from China; they asked, too, that more
Treaty ports should be opened, and that they should be
allowed to occupy our capital with their army. To such lengths
did their brutality and cunning lead them! But we then
commanded Prince Yi and Mu Yin, the President of the Board
of War, to endeavour to induce in them a more reasonable
spirit and to come to some satisfactory arrangement. But
these treacherous barbarians dared to advance their savage
soldiery towards Tungchow and to announce their intention of
compelling us to receive them in audience.
“Any further forbearance on our part would be a dereliction
of our duty to the Empire, so that we have now commanded
our armies to attack them with all possible energy and we
have directed the local gentry to organise train-bands, and
with them either to join in the attack or to block the barbarians’
advance. Hereby we make offer of the following rewards:—
For the head of a black barbarian, 50 taels, and for the head
of a white barbarian, 100 taels. For the capture of a barbarian
leader, alive or dead, 500 taels, and for the seizure or
destruction of a barbarian vessel, 5,000 taels. The inhabitants
of Tientsin are reputed brave. Let them now come forward
and rid us of these pestilential savages, either by open attack
or by artifice. We are no lovers of war, but all our people must
admit that this has been forced upon us.
“As to the barbarians’ seizure of portions of our territory in
Kuangtung and Fukhien, all our subjects are alike our children
and we will issue large rewards to any of them in the south
who shall present us with the head of a barbarian chief.
“These barbarians live in the remote parts of the earth,
whence they come to China for purposes of trade. Their
outrageous proceedings have, we understand, been
encouraged by abominable traitors among our own subjects.
We now command that all the Treaty ports be closed and all
trade with England and France stopped. Subjects of other
submissive States are not to be molested, and whensoever
the British and French repent them of their evil ways and
return to their allegiance, we shall be pleased to permit them
to trade again, as of old, so that our clemency may be made
manifest. But should they persist in their wicked violation of
every right principle, our armies must mightily smite them, and
pledge themselves solemnly to destroy utterly these evil-
doers. May they repent while yet there is time!”

Three days later Yehonala was present at the morning audience,


when the Emperor made the following statement:—

“We learn that the barbarians continue to press upon our


capital. Their demands were all complied with, yet they insist
upon presenting to us in person their barbarous documents of
credentials, and demand that Prince Seng shall withdraw his
troops from Chang-Chia wan. Such insolence as this makes
further parley impossible. Prince Seng has gained one great
victory already, and now his forces are holding the enemy in
check at Palich’iao.”

Orders were issued that the landing of troops from the warships
which had appeared off Kinchou should be stoutly resisted.
On the 7th of the Moon His Majesty sacrificed at the Temple of
Confucius, but on the next morning he was afraid to come into the
city from the Summer Palace, although he wished to sacrifice to the
tutelary deities and inform them of his intended departure. Early on
the following day Prince Kung was appointed Plenipotentiary in the
place of Prince Yi (Tsai Yüan) and the Emperor, despite the brave
wording of his Decree, fled from the capital, after making obeisance
to the God of War in a small temple of the Palace grounds. In the
Decree announcing his departure, the flight was described as an
“autumn tour of inspection.”[3]
The Court started in utter confusion, but proceeded only some
eighteen miles on the road northwards from Peking, stopping for the
first night in a small temple. Here a Decree was issued calling upon
all the Manchurian troops to hasten to Jehol for the protection of the
Court. On the evening of the following day a Memorial was received
from Prince Kung, reporting on the latest doings of the barbarians,
but His Majesty ordered him, in reply, to take whatever steps he
might think fit to deal with the situation. It was out of the question,
said the Rescript, for the Emperor to decide on any course of action
at a distance: in other words, the Throne divested itself of further
responsibility.
On the 11th, the Court lay at the Imperial hunting lodge north of
Mi-Yun hsien. The Chinese chronicler records that the Emperor was
too sick to receive the Grand Council, and delegated his duties to
Yehonala, who thereupon issued the following Decree:—

“We are informed that the pestilent barbarians are pressing


upon our capital, and our Ministers have asked us to summon
reinforcements from the provinces. Now the highest form of
military art is to effect sudden surprises, carefully pre-
arranged. The barbarians’ superiority lies in their firearms, but
if we can only bring them to a hand-to-hand engagement they
will be unable to bring their artillery to bear, and thus shall our
victory be assured. The Mongol and Manchu horsemen are
quite useless for this kind of warfare, but the men of Hupei
and Ssŭ-ch’uan are as agile as monkeys and adepts at the
use of cover in secret approaches. Let them but surprise
these bandits once, and their rout is inevitable. Therefore let
Tseng Kuo-fan, the Viceroy of Hukuang, send up at least
three thousand of his best troops to Peking, and let as many
be despatched from Ssŭ-ch’uan. Prince Seng’s troops have
been defeated again and again, and the capital is in great
danger. At such a crisis as this, there must be no delay; it is
our earnest hope that a sufficient force will speedily be
collected, so that we may be rid of this poisonous fever-cloud.
For bravery and good service, there will be great rewards. A
most important Decree.”

At the Court’s halting place at Pa-Ko shih, close to the Great Wall,
a Memorial came in from Prince Seng Ko Lin Ch’in, stating that small
scouting parties of the barbarian troops had been seen in the
neighbourhood of Peking, but that as yet there had been no general
bombardment. A Rescript was issued as follows:—

“Inasmuch as it would appear that the pertinacity of these


barbarians will only increase with opposition, it seems
desirable to come to terms with them as soon as possible.
With reference to the French barbarian Gros’s petition to be
permitted to discuss matters with Prince Kung in person, at
Peking, we command the Prince to receive him. But should
the bandits attempt to approach the city in force, Prince Seng
should take them in the rear and cut off their retreat. If by any
chance, however, Peking should be already taken, let the
Mongol regiments be sent up to the Great Wall for the
protection of our person.”

After a leisurely journey, the Court reached Jehol on the 18th. On


the 20th, the opinion of the advisers of the Emperor seemed to be in
favour of continuing the war at all costs. A Decree was issued,
referring to the fact that the foreign troops had dared to encamp near
the Summer Palace, and forbidding Prince Kung to spare the lives of
any captured barbarians upon any pretext whatsoever. To this Prince
Kung replied stating that the prisoners had already been released
and that the Anting gate had been surrendered to the foreigners.
Prince Kung, in fact, was statesman enough to realise that the only
chance for China lay in submission; he therefore ignored the Imperial
Decrees. Before long the Emperor was persuaded to allow
negotiations to be resumed, and on the 15th of the 9th Moon he
confirmed the Treaty, which had been signed in Peking, in the
following Edict:—

“Prince Kung, duly appointed by us to be Plenipotentiary,


concluded, on the 11th and 12th days of this Moon, Treaties
of Peace with the British and the French. Hereafter amity is to
exist between our nations in perpetuity, and the various
conditions of the Treaty are to be strictly observed by all.”
III
THE TSAI YÜAN CONSPIRACY

It was originally intended that the Emperor Hsien-Feng should


return from Jehol to Peking in the spring of 1861, and a Decree was
issued to that effect. In January, however, his illness had become so
serious that travelling was out of the question, and this Decree was
rescinded.
At Jehol, removed from the direct influence of his brothers, and
enfeebled by sickness, the Emperor had gradually fallen under the
domination of the Prince Yi (Tsai Yüan) with whom were associated,
as Grand Councillors, the Prince Tuan Hua and the Imperial
Clansman Su Shun. These three, recognising that the Emperor’s
end was near and that a Regency would be necessary, determined
on securing the power for themselves. Prince Yi was nominally the
leader of this conspiracy, but its instigator and leading spirit was Su
Shun. Tuan Hua, whose family title was Prince Cheng, was the head
of one of the eight princely Manchu families, descended in the direct
line from Nurhachu’s brother. Su Shun was foster-brother to this
Prince. In his youth he was a conspicuous figure in the capital,
famous for his Mohawk tendencies, a wild blade, addicted to
hawking and riotous living. He had originally been recommended to
the notice of the Emperor by the two Princes and soon won his way
into the dissolute monarch’s confidence and goodwill. From a junior
post in the Board of Revenue, he rose rapidly, becoming eventually
an Assistant Grand Secretary, in which capacity he attained an
unenviable reputation for avarice and cruelty. He had made himself
hated and feared by persuading the Emperor to order the
decapitation of his chief, the Grand Secretary Po Chun,[4] on the
pretext that he had shown favouritism as Chief Examiner for the
Metropolitan Degree,—the real reason being that he had offended
the two Princes by his uncompromising honesty and blunt speech. It
was at this period that he first came into conflict with the young
Yehonala, who, dreading the man’s growing influence with the
Emperor, endeavoured to counteract it, and at the same time to save
the life of the Grand Secretary; she failed in the attempt, and Su
Shun’s position became the stronger for her failure. All those who
opposed him were speedily banished or degraded. The Court was
terrified, especially when it was realised that Yehonala was out of
favour, and Su Shun took care to give them real and frequent cause
for alarm. At his instance, all the Secretaries of the Board of
Revenue were cashiered on a charge of making illicit profits by
cornering the cash market. The charge was possibly well-founded,
since such proceedings are part of a Metropolitan official’s
recognised means of subsistence, but coming from the notoriously
corrupt Su Shun, it was purely vindictive, as was shown by his
subsequent action; for upon this charge he obtained the arrest of
over a hundred notables and rich merchants whom he kept in
custody of no gentle kind until they had ransomed themselves with
enormous sums. Thus was founded the great fortune which enabled
him to conspire with the Princes Yi and Cheng[5] for the supreme
power, and which led him eventually to his ruin. To this day, many of
his millions lie in the Palace vaults, to which they were carried after
his impeachment and death—millions carefully hoarded by Tzŭ Hsi
and buried during the Court’s flight and exile in 1900.
It was chiefly because of the advice of Su Shun that the Emperor
fled his capital at the approach of the Allies, in spite of the urgent
appeals of Yehonala and the Grand Council. By his advice also most
of the high officials and Metropolitan Ministers were prevented from
accompanying the Court, by which means the conspirators were
able to exercise steadily increasing influence over the Emperor, and
to prevent other advice reaching him. It was only the supreme
courage and intelligent grasp of the situation shown by Yehonala,
that frustrated the conspiracy at its most critical moment.
Immediately after the death of the Emperor, and while the plotters
were still undecided as to their final plans, she sent an urgent
message secretly to Prince Kung which brought him with all speed to
Jehol, where, by the help of Jung Lu and other loyal servants, she
put into execution the bold plan which defeated the conspiracy and
placed her at the head of China’s government. On the day when, the
game hopelessly lost, the usurping Regents found themselves in
Yehonala’s hands and heard her order their summary trial by the
Court of the Imperial Clan, Su Shun turned to his colleagues and
bitterly reproached them. “Had you but taken my advice and slain
this woman,” he said, “we should not have been in this plight to-day.”
To return, however, to the beginning of the conspiracy. At the
outset, the object of Prince Yi was to alienate the Emperor from the
influence of his favourite concubine, Yehonala. With this object they
informed him of the intrigue which, by common report, she was
carrying on with the young Officer of the Guards, Jung Lu, then a
handsome athletic man of about twenty-five. The Empress Consort
they regarded as a negligible factor, whose good-natured and
colourless personality took little interest in the politics of the day; but
if their plot was to succeed, Yehonala must either be dismissed from
the Court for good and all, or, at the very least, she must be
temporarily relegated to the “Cold Palace,” as is called the place
where insubordinate or disgraced concubines are isolated. They
knew that, however successful their plans at Jehol, there must
always be danger in the event of the Emperor returning to Peking,
where access to his person is not possible at all times for officials
(even those nearest to the Throne), whereas Yehonala would be in a
position, with the help of her eunuchs, to recover his favour and her
power. Emphasising, therefore, the alleged misconduct of the young
concubine, they quoted the precedent of a certain Empress Consort
of Ch’ien-Lung who, for less grievous disrespect (shown to the
Emperor’s mother), was imprisoned for life. Thus, by inventions and
suggestions, they so worked on the sick man’s mind that he finally
consented to have Yehonala’s infant son, the Heir Apparent,
removed from her care, and authorised the child’s being handed
over to the wife of Prince Yi, who was summoned to the hunting-
lodge Palace for that purpose. At the same time, the conspirators
thought it well to denounce Prince Kung to the Emperor, his brother,
accusing him of treachery, of conniving with the foreigners against
the Throne, and of abusing his powers as Plenipotentiary. Prince Yi
had been for years Prince Kung’s sworn enemy.
The further intentions of the conspirators, instigated by Su Shun,
were to massacre all Europeans in the capital and to put to death, or
at least imprison for life, the Emperor’s brothers. Accordingly they
drafted in advance the Decrees necessary to justify and explain
these measures, intending to publish them immediately after the
Emperor’s death, which was now imminent. But here an unforeseen
obstacle presented itself, the first of many created for them by the
far-seeing intelligence of Yehonala; for they found that she had
somehow managed to possess herself of the special seal, which
inviolable custom requires to be affixed to the first Edict of a new
reign, in proof of validity of succession,—a seal, in the personal
custody of the Emperor, which bears the characters meaning
“lawfully transmitted authority.” Without this seal, any Decrees which
the usurpers might issue would lack something of legal finality and,
according to Chinese ideas, their subsequent cancellation would be
justifiable. But Prince Yi did not feel himself strong enough to risk a
crisis by accusing her or taking overt steps to gain possession of it.
Angry with his favourite concubine by reason of the reports of her
intimacy with Jung Lu, and his sickness ever increasing, the
Emperor lingered on in Jehol all the summer of that year, his duty in
the ancestral sacrifices at Peking being taken by Prince Kung. On
the 4th of the 6th Moon, the day before his thirtieth birthday, he
issued the following Decree in reply to a Memorial by the Court of
Astronomers, which had announced an auspicious conjunction of the
stars for the occasion:—

“Last month the Astronomers announced the appearance of


a comet in the north-west, which intimation we received as a
solemn warning of the impending wrath of Heaven. Now they
memorialise saying that the stars are in favourable
conjunction, which is doubtless a true statement, in no way
inspired by their desire to please us. But since we came to the
Throne, we have steadily refused to pay any attention to
auspicious omens, and this with good reason, in view of the
ever-increasing rebellions in the south and the generally
pitiable condition of our people. May the present auspicious
conjunction of the stars portend the dawning of a happier day,
and may heaven permit a speedy end to the rebellion. In
token of our sincerity, we desire that the Astronomical Court
shall refrain from reporting to the Chronicler’s Office the
present favourable omen for inclusion in the annals of our
reign, so that there may be ascribed to us the merit of a
devout and sober mind.”

On the following morning the Emperor received the


congratulations of his Court in a pavilion of the Palace grounds, but
Yehonala was excluded from this ceremony. This was His Majesty’s
last appearance in public; from this date his illness became rapidly
worse.
On the 7th of the 7th Moon Yehonala contrived to despatch a
secret courier to Prince Kung at Peking, informing him of the critical
condition of his brother and urging him to send with all haste a
detachment of the Banner Corps to which the Yehonala clan
belonged. Events now moved swiftly. On the 16th, the Grand
Councillors and Ministers of the Presence, all adherents of Tsai
Yüan’s faction, entered the Emperor’s bedroom and, after excluding
the Empress Consort and the concubines, persuaded the Emperor to
sign Decrees appointing Tsai Yüan, Tuan Hua and Su Shun to be
Co-Regents upon his decease, with full powers. Yehonala was to be
expressly forbidden from exercising any form of control over the Heir
Apparent. As the necessary seal of State had been taken by
Yehonala and could not be found, these proceedings were irregular.
At dawn on the following day the Emperor died, and forthwith
appeared the usual valedictory Decree, prepared in advance by the
conspirators, whereby Tsai Yüan was appointed to be Chief Regent,
Prince Kung and the Empress Consort being entirely ignored.
In the name of the new Emperor, then a child of five, a Decree was
issued, announcing his succession, but it was observed to violate all
constitutional precedent in that it omitted the proper laudatory
references to the Imperial Consort. On the following day, however,
the Regents, fearing to precipitate matters, rectified the omission in
an Edict which conferred the rank of Empress Dowager both on the
Empress Consort and on Yehonala. The chroniclers aver that the
reason for this step lay in the Regents’ recognition of Yehonala’s
undoubted popularity with the troops (all Manchus) at Jehol, an
argument that weighed more heavily with them than her rights as
mother of the Heir Apparent. They hoped to rid themselves of this
condition of affairs after the Court’s return to Peking, but dared not
risk internal dissensions by having her removed until their positions
had been made secure at the capital. That they intended to remove
her was subsequently proved; it was evident that their position would
never be secure so long as her ambitious and magnetic personality
remained a factor of the situation: but it was necessary, in the first
instance, to ascertain the effect of the Regency at Peking and in the
provinces.
Tsai Yüan’s next move was to publish Decrees, in the names of
the Joint Regents, by virtue of which they assumed charge of the
Heir Apparent and by which the title of “Chien Kuo” (practically
equivalent to Dictator) was conferred on the Chief Regent, a title
heretofore reserved exclusively for brothers or uncles of the
Emperor.
When the news reached Peking, a flood of Memorials burst from
the Censorate and high officials. The child Emperor was implored to
confer the Regency upon the two Empresses, or, as the Chinese text
has it, to “administer the Government with suspended curtain.”[6]
Prince Kung and the Emperor’s other brothers were at this time in
secret correspondence with Yehonala, whom they, like the
Censorate, had already recognised as the master-mind of the
Forbidden City. They urged her to do all in her power to expedite the
departure of the funeral cortège for the capital. To secure this end, it
was necessary to proceed with the greatest caution and diplomacy,
for several of the late Emperor’s wives had been won over to the
side of the usurpers, who could also count on a certain number of
the Manchu bodyguard, their own clansmen. The influence of Su
Shun’s great fortune was also no inconsiderable factor in the
situation. The man was personally unpopular with the people of
Peking, because of his abuse of power and too frequent connection
with speculations in bank-note issues and cash, which cost the
citizens dear, but his vaults were known to be full to over-flowing,
and there is no city in the world where money buys more political
supporters than in Peking. Su Shun’s career has had its counterpart,
in everything except its sanguinary dénouement, in the capital to-
day.

Her Majesty Tzŭ Hsi in the Year 1903.


At the moment the position of the Emperor’s family was
prejudiced, and the aims of the conspirators assisted, by the political
situation. With the capital occupied by foreign troops, and many of
the provinces in the throes of a great rebellion, the people might be
expected to welcome a change of rulers, and the ripe experience of
the usurping Regents in all matters of State was undeniable. But the
virile and untiring energies of Yehonala, ably supported by Jung Lu
and other faithful followers, soon put a new complexion on affairs,
and the situation was further modified in her favour by the success of
her nominee, the Commander-in-Chief, Tseng Kuo-fan, in capturing
the city of An-ch’ing (in Anhui) from the rebels, a victory that was
regarded as of good augury to her cause. Thereafter her courage
and diplomacy enabled her to play off one opponent against another,
gaining time and friends until the conspirators’ chance was gone.
Her own aims and ambitions, which had been voiced by her friends
in the Censorate, were, however, to some extent impeded by the fact
that a House-law of the Dynasty forbids the administration of the
Government by an Empress Dowager, while there were quite recent
precedents for a Regency by a Board, in the cases of the Emperors
Shun-Chih and K’ang-Hsi. In neither of these instances had the
Empress Tai-Tsung had any voice in the Government. The precedent
for Boards of official Regents had, however, come to be recognised
as inauspicious, because the several Regents of K’ang-Hsi’s
minority had either been banished or compelled to commit suicide. It
is probable, too, that Prince Kung, in instigating and supporting the
claims of the Empresses, failed to appreciate Yehonala’s strength of
character, and believed that a women’s Regency would leave the
supreme power in his own hands.
A Manchu, who accompanied the flight to Jehol, describing his
experiences, lays stress upon Yehonala’s unfailing courage and
personal charm of manner, to which was due her popularity with the
Imperial Guards and her eventual triumph. At the most critical period
of the conspiracy she was careful to avoid precipitating a conflict or
arousing the suspicions of the usurpers by openly conferring with
Jung Lu, and she employed as her confidential intermediary the
eunuch An Te-hai (of whom more will be heard later). By means of
this man daily reports were safely despatched to Prince Kung at
Peking, and, in the meanwhile, Yehonala affected an attitude of calm
indifference, treating Prince Yi with a studied deference which lulled
his suspicions.
On the 11th of the 8th Moon, the Board of Regents, after meeting
to discuss the situation, issued a Decree condemning in strong terms
a proposal put forward in a Memorial by the Censor, Tung Yüan-
ch’un, that the two Empresses should be appointed Co-Regents, and
referring to the death-bed Decree of the late Emperor as their own
warrant of authority. At the same time they announced, in the name
of the young Emperor, that the funeral cortège would start on its
journey to the capital on the second day of the next Moon. This was
the step for which Yehonala had been working and waiting. As
Ministers of the Presence, the Regents were perforce obliged to
accompany the coffin throughout the entire journey (some 150 miles)
to the capital, and the great weight of the catafalque, borne by one
hundred and twenty men, would necessarily render the rate of
progress very slow through the stony defiles of the hills. Resting
places would have to be provided at stages of about fifteen miles
along the route to shelter the Imperial remains and the attendant
officials by night, so that the Regents might count on a journey of ten
days at least, and longer in the event of bad weather. To the
Empresses, the slow progress of the cortège was a matter of vital
advantage, inasmuch as they were not to take part in the procession,
and, travelling ahead of it, could reach the capital in five days with
swift chair-bearers. Dynastic custom and Court etiquette prescribe
that upon the departure of the funeral procession, the new Emperor
and the consorts of the deceased sovereign should offer prayers and
libations, and should then press on so as to be ready to perform
similar acts of reverence on meeting the cortège at its destination.
Yehonala thus found herself in a position of great strategic
advantage, being enabled to reach the capital well in advance of her
enemies, and she speedily laid her plans with Prince Kung to give
them a warm reception.
Tsai Yüan and his colleagues were well aware that they were
placed at grave disadvantage in having to remain behind the young
Empress, with every prospect of serious trouble ahead; they,
