Empress Dowager Cixi, one of the most controversial figures in the history of the Qing Dynasty. As the de facto ruler of the late period, she wielded unparalleled power. However, a woman who lost her husband at an early age and has been widowed for nearly 47 years, what loneliness and loneliness are hidden behind these long years?Rumors circulated about her finding solace aroused people's curiosity.
During the reign of Emperor Tongzhi, the Empress Dowager of Cixi and Ci'an listened to the government, and in the early days of her reign, with the assistance of Wang Yixin, she rectified the rule of officials and reused Hanchen, and the politics and economy ushered in a good development, which was known as "Tongzhi Zhongxing". It is said that Cixi and Ci'an have a good relationship, and there is even a touching story: Ci'an is seriously ill and in critical condition, and needs to use human flesh as medicine. Cixi resolutely cut off a piece of meat from her forearm to provide Ci'an with medicine. Miraculously, this medicine is really effective, Ci'an **, and the relationship between the two queen mothers has also reached a higher level, becoming good sisters who talk about everything.
However, after Ci'an's death, Cixi had few confidants to confide in. Despite her power, she suffers from loneliness in the dead of night. In order to dispel loneliness, Cixi heard that there was a young, handsome and skilled pianist Zhang Chunpu in Liuli Factory, so she had the idea of "chasing stars".
Zhang Chunpu originally barely made a living in Liuli Factory, with a meager monthly income. However, as soon as he learned that the Queen Mother wanted to see him, an opportunity immediately appeared in his heart, and he might be able to take advantage of this promotion to make a fortune. He carried the finest instrument to the palace, ready to show off his skills. However, after entering the palace, the situation was far from what he expected, and he was taken to Cixi's dormitory, where he was delayed until the night to play. Just as he was about to demonstrate his piano skills, the appearance of Cixi in front of him made him feel uneasy.
Cixi was dressed inappropriately, and her eyes made Zhang Chunpu feel an extraordinary pressure. He immediately understood Cixi's intentions. Cixi tried to induce him to stay, promising that if he served her well, he would be paid hundreds of times more than if he played outside. However, Zhang Chunpu is not moved by money and fame, and just wants to leave as soon as possible.
Cixi was greatly annoyed to see that he was unmoved, and ordered Zhang Chunpu to be expelled from the palace, and warned him not to divulge what was happening in the palace, otherwise he would be severely punished. After gaining his freedom, the luthier left Beijing in a hurry, unwilling to entangle with the court.
Of course, the above is only a folk rumor, and Cixi, as the real ruler of the Qing court, could not easily violate etiquette. Even if there is an idea, it is unlikely that there will be any in-depth interaction with an ordinary luthier. Therefore, these rumors are just a legend in history, for people's entertainment and thinking, and should not be regarded as historical facts.
Empress Dowager Cixi, the story behind her may be more bizarre than history. What kind of emotional dilemma is hidden under her power?What kind of mysterious life experience is the pianist Zhang Chunpu?Is there a real truth to these rumors?Perhaps, these mysteries will remain in the long river of history forever.
