On November 15, 1908, the day after the death of Emperor Guangxu, the noble Empress Dowager Cixi of the Qing Dynasty died of illness in Zhongnanhai.
But her coffin was buried a year after her death. And on the day of Cixi's funeral, itsThe coffin emitted a foul smell, and even someone saw herThe coffin was dripping blood, what the hell is going on?
In just two days, the Qing Dynasty lost two extremely noble people, after hearing that Emperor Guangxu died, Cixi, who was recuperating in Zhongnanhai, slowly let go of the heart hanging in her heart, and arranged everything after her deathPu Yi, who was only 3 years old, came to inherit the throne
After Cixi arranged the most important things, she looked at the childish Pu Yi in her arms, so she swallowed her last breath, and handed over the Qing Dynasty to a young Pu Yi.
According to the etiquette system at that time, although Cixi was the queen mother, Emperor Guangxu was the son of heaven in the Qing Dynasty after all, so the ministers still decidedFirst handle the funeral of Emperor Guangxu
The funeral of the king of a country is very solemn and solemn, the whole country mourns, and the funeral ceremony is also more cumbersome, and after the funeral of Emperor Guangxu, it is immediately followedThe enthronement ceremony of Emperor Puyi of XuantongFinish.
In this way,Cixi's funeral has been delayed, and the body of Cixi was placed in a coffin, in orderKeep the corpse from decomposing quickly, the ** who was responsible for guarding Cixi's body was used around Cixi's coffinPlenty of iceto keep the temperature of the coffin below a suitable low temperature.
Around Cixi's body, although a lot of ice cubes were placed to maintain the temperature, the funeral of Emperor Guangxu and the enthronement ceremony of Emperor Puyi of Xuantong were back and forthIt was too long to delay, leading to the remains of Cixi at this time, has already begunDecay appears, and sent out a burstFoul smell
* In order to be able to cover up the corpse, the stench caused by the decay was on the body of CixiSprinkle with spicesThe spices are all fine spices purchased by the palace and worth thousands of gold.
But Cixi has passed away, and it is inevitable that there will be people who steal and cheat, steal beams and change pillars, and replace all spices with ordinary inferior spices.
As the weather became hotter, Cixi's corpse became more and more decomposed, and the stench made it difficult for spices to hide the stench of the corpse.
So much so that when Cixi came out of the funeral, the onlookers could pass through the layers of coffinsSmell this rotting smell of corpses
It is said that Cixi's coffin was carried all the way to the roadEverywhere he passed, there were stains of blood
After arriving at Dongling, they buried Cixi in the underground palace, and Cixi's favorite eunuch Li Lianying was very curious about why Cixi's coffin was oozing blood.
After all, people have been dead for more than a year, and the blood in the body has long coagulated, so Li Lianying had the courage to open Cixi's coffin, and after everyone opened Cixi's heavy coffin lid, they found that Cixi's body had dozens of dead rats, and the dark red blood was oozing at this time.
The rat must have smelled the decay of Cixi's corpse, gnawed open small holes with its teeth, burrowed into Cixi's coffin, and gnawed on Cixi's decomposing corpse.
However, Cixi's corpse was sprinkled with spices many times, and the spices contained some poisonous substances, so the rats that gnawed on the carrion were also poisoned in the coffin.
Because the rats were poisoned, blood oozed from their mouths, and because of the large number of rats, their blood flowed out through the coffin, and there was a terrible incident of Cixi's coffin oozing blood.
After Li Lianying disposed of all the mice, she resealed Cixi's coffin, and thus Cixi's funeral was over.
During her lifetime, Cixi was very particular about her food, clothing, housing and transportation, and she was extravagant. So, she was ready toThe best golden silk nanmu,As the wood for her coffin, it took a lot of manpower and material resources just to transport the wood.
In addition, many of her were placed in Cixi's coffinFavorite curiositiesIt cost a lot of money, and the collected pearls covered the entire coffin, and it is said that when Cixi died, there was a large night pearl stuffed in her mouth.
Unexpectedly, just a few years after Cixi's death, the Manchu Dynasty was overthrown by the Xinhai Revolution, and China's last feudal dynasty was overthrown.
20 years after Cixi's death, the appearance of a person broke the long-term tranquility of the Longling Underground Palace, which is famousThief warlord Sun Dianying,Come to the Tanglin underground palace to rob the tomb.
It is said that Sun Dianying looked through all the coffins in the underground palace, and these coffins were not as luxurious as half of Cixi's coffins.
In addition to the several pearls in Cixi's coffin, as well as a huge night pearl in his mouth, Sun Dianying took them all, and his soldiers also took away a lot of treasures.
There is also Cixi's favorite pair"Emerald watermelon"., Sun Dianying was stunned when he saw such a rare jade watermelon.
These treasures were all the people's fat and ointment ordered by Cixi to oppress the people to satisfy her extravagant enjoyment, and they were plundered to the emptiness after her death.
In order to take away all the treasures in Cixi's coffin, Sun Dianying ordered Cixi's body to be carried out of the coffin, and after Sun Dianying's troops robbed the treasures, Cixi's body was still discarded outside.
Cixi's wishful thinking during her lifetime was all broken after her death, and under her mediocre power, the Qing Dynasty was brought into the abyss step by step, and the people of the Qing Dynasty suffered the most.
