Abstract
Weng Tonghe’s discharging during the Wuxu Reform is a contentions problem in modern historical researching circles.By throughly examining Weng’s characteristics and his relationships with others, the author concludes that the reasons for Weng’s discharge were complex and can not be simply attributed to his recommendation of Kang Youwei or his being framed by the old guard of hardliners.He violated imperial decrees,failed to live up to Emperor Guangxu’s expectations and so made the Emperor feel disappointed and angry.All of above had an important connection to his discharge.
