Emperor Tongzhi died at the age of 19? His life habits, 19 years old is already a long life
Emperor, what a glorious and sacred title. It means supreme power, it means the admiration of all peoples. But should the person who really sits on the dragon chair experience what his mind and broad waves are like? became the emperor of Tongzhi in 19 years, tasted all the joys and sorrows, what kind of life did he want?
The Tongzhi Emperor was born.
On March 10, 1856, in the Forbidden City of Beijing, a terrible cry broke the tranquility between heaven and earth. He was the fourth son of Emperor Xianfeng and Li Jia, and later Emperor Tongzhi Aixin Jueluo-Zaichun.
As the eldest son of the emperor, Jae-soon was given as soon as he was born"The world's heavy responsibility"。But the sky was unpredictable, and the tragedy cast a heavy shadow on his young mind.
In 1861, when Jae-soon was six years old, he witnessed the death of his father. Emperor Xianfeng had no sons, and as the eldest son, he would immediately inherit the throne as the tenth emperor of the Qing Dynasty.
A six-year-old child who doesn't yet know how politics works, how to manage an empire, how to deal with sudden fate? It's all shocking, it's like the sky is falling.
I have ascended the throne, and the state affairs are difficult and the responsibilities are heavy. "At the enthronement ceremony, the immature children's voices echoed in the magnificent Taihe Palace. The little emperor's wise and martial appearance made all the ministers present awe and full of emotion.
For a six-year-old, the sky should be blue, and toys and laughter should accompany him through carefree and innocent days. But now, he must shoulder the burden of a nation. This heavy burden would change his life forever.
The Empress Dowager Cixi has been in power for 11 years.
The news of Emperor Xianfeng's death was like a bolt from the blue, causing an uproar throughout the empire. People were shocked and feared that the dynasty was about to fall apart.
Fortunately, Empress Dowager Cixi and Empress Dowager Ci'an soon came to power and supported the young ruler. In particular, the 25-year-old Empress Dowager Cixi, who gained a firm foothold in the political arena and calmed the turbulent social mood in the midst of the political crisis. The Empress Dowager Cixi took control of the palace, and all the ** came to the palace. For a time, rumors spread inside and outside the Forbidden City.
But this"Temporary**"And not as ephemeral as one might think. Six years have passed, and 12-year-old Jae-jun still doesn't know anything about **.
During these eleven years, the Empress Dowager Cixi had almost complete control of the government. She often summoned ministers, personally reviewed the recitals, and often consulted"Little Emperor"Together"Research"Political affairs. For a time,"raised a widow emperor"The fame spread throughout the country.
In this context, the public was mostly positive that the Empress Dowager Cixi's good leadership had put the country back on track after the turmoil. Some even praised the Empress Dowager Cixi as being"The king's virtuous helper and wise woman"。
However, after getting along for a long time, many ministers discovered the Empress Dowager's enthusiasm and desire for power. She smiled and said to the minister:"I was appointed by the sect, so I had to be like a dean in order to praise the king and benefit the people. "The arrogance in her tone was palpable. The ministers were also a little worried about this - the Empress Dowager Cixi was not just thinking about the auxiliary ministers, it seemed simple. The sweetness of power is so captivating for a woman that she seems increasingly reluctant to let go.
At the age of 17, it was 11 years"Guardianship"It's over.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the little emperor is already seventeen years old. He is no longer a child who does not know the height of the sky, but has been replaced by an increasingly mature and stable temperament.
After a day of pilgrimage, a young voice echoed over the Jinluan Palace. The firm words made all the courtiers present stand up. They have been waiting for this day for too long, and the young emperor is finally going to be in power!
Due to the emperor's firm position, the Empress Dowager Cixi was unable to continue her rule by force. In the end, she decided to back down and agreed to step back into the background.
In this case, the imperial court breathed a sigh of relief. Empress Dowager Cixi's autocratic power worried many ministers. The emperor's return to power was exactly what the imperial court was looking forward to.
For a time, the pro-government celebrations in the court came and went. People were even more joyful and sang songs to express their great respect for the maturity of the emperor's reign. But what lies beneath the surface of this joy?
Childhood sweetheart, political marriage.
The first major event after the change of regime was the selection of a wife for the young emperor. This is undoubtedly an important political task for the entire royal family.
Under the leadership of Cixi, it was finally decided to place Li Erguan in the Manchurian battalion of the Zhenglan Banner. The lady has since become a royal princess"。Li Qianling's family has been a royal princess for generations, with family history and thoughtful etiquette, and the emperor has deep feelings for her. "The Empress Dowager Cixi nodded with satisfaction, and after that, Jie Yu was willing to become the emperor's concubine.
In October 1873, the emperor canonized Ergin-Yeli as a concubine. The parties entered into a political marriage. But this seemingly perfect marriage hides insurmountable chasms and prejudices.
Both the emperor and his concubine were descendants of one of the eight great families of Manchuria, but they never met. A political marriage that doesn't come to fruition too late makes it difficult for the young couple to find a spark of love.
This kind of loveless marriage does not actually bring happiness. The emperor began to leave the palace frequently, and his wife gradually fell out of favor. As a result, the rift and immaturity between them are becoming more and more apparent.
That year, the emperor was in his early twenties, and the consuls were only 18 years old. They should have had endless time to meet and love each other, but they were forced into a political marriage that was doomed to tragedy. This undoubtedly caused great damage to the young hearts of the two people, and also caused an insurmountable gap.
He died young.
The failure of the political marriage was a heavy blow to the emperor in the prime of life. He could have experienced love and happiness, but his marriage broke down because of a piece of paper in his wallet. The emperor, who had always been kind-hearted, began to enter and leave the mansion in search of talented and beautiful women to fill the emptiness in his heart.
His Majesty is diligent in government and loves the people, and the party is dominant for a while. It is necessary to go out of the mountains from time to time"。In this case, there were scholars in the court, and the emperor would forgive them.
But this sudden confusion and confusion always took a toll on the emperor's physical and mental health. For a while, he seemed to want to return to the happiness and beauty of the flower season, but he fell deeper and deeper and couldn't extricate himself.
The eunuch on duty diagnosed dehydration due to chronic excessive drinking. The emperor died of fornication at the age of 19. The talented and beloved young monarch died young. When the news of the emperor's sudden death spread, the palace and the whole country were in mourning.
Before dying, the emperor turned pale and whispered to the left and right:"I have resigned myself to fate all my life, and I can no longer do anything for the great motherland, nor can I do it again. "。As soon as the words fell, he was born in the Forbidden City and was destined to take on a great mission; The long sleep on Huangquan Road was the end of a short 19-year life.
In March, the catkins flew, and after a gust of east wind, they flew away. He has no time to enjoy love, no time to fulfill his wishes, everything turns into a wisp of green smoke in the sky, and goes away with the wind.
The original intention of Tongzhi is:"Mingde is benevolent, fair and fair, cultivating virtue and benevolence, and governing the world"。But the joke that God played on this child was very cruel.
He ascended to the throne at the age of six, but his childhood was not simple. He was forced into a loveless political marriage, and when it failed, he chose to self-destruct.
All the great deeds and deeds he created were buried in his short life. There wasn't a single emotion in him that really resonated.
The life of Emperor Tongzhi was a heavy burden imposed on him by fate. We have to sigh for his crippled youth and unfortunate fate.
I could have lived a better life and brought new hope and light to this country. But history cruelly deprived him of the opportunity to change his fate. Perhaps, this is another kind of despair, and a sigh from God.
