Cixi's last day dealt with Guangxu's aftermath in the morning, and fell asleep in the evening with the night pearl
During the reign of feudal emperors, each dynasty had a queen mother who oversaw **. Empress Dowager Cixi was a very famous woman in the late Qing Dynasty, but later generations had different evaluations of her and were quite controversial.
There are conflicting theories about Cixi's obsession with seizing power during her lifetime, as well as various speculations about the death of Emperor Guangxu. On the last day of Cixi, she handled Guangxu's heir in the morning and spit out a horsetail from her mouth in the evening. How did this happen?
Empress Dowager Cixi was the biological mother of Emperor Tongzhi and was in a favorable position during the reign of Emperor Xianfeng. Later, Emperor Xianfeng died of illness and Emperor Tongzhi ascended the throne.
Emperor Tongzhi was only six years old when he ascended the throne, and the harem was run by two widowed empresses, Ci'an and Cixi.
Unfortunately, Emperor Tongzhi died young, at the age of 19, and suffered from a disease that was difficult to **.
During this period, the Empress Dowager Cixi's nephew Zaiyan, who was the Guangxu Emperor at the time, began to compete for the throne. When Emperor Guangxu ascended the throne, Emperor Tongzhi, who was two years younger than him, was only four years old.
In this case, the two queens resumed the administration of the Veil.
In 1881, Empress Dowager Ci'an died, leaving behind her sister, Empress Dowager Cixi of the Qing Dynasty.
The misfortune brought about by power made the Empress Dowager Cixi unable to extricate herself, and she used the name of the emperor when he was young to listen to the government. Emperor Guangxu grew up slowly, and even if he got married, he was just a puppet.
In fact, Emperor Guangxu was full of resentment towards the Empress Dowager Cixi, but why didn't he have the courage to tolerate the Empress Dowager Cixi? Cixi also often disciplined Emperor Guangxu, which made Emperor Guangxu's dignity lost.
Cixi and Emperor Guangxu seem to have an indescribable complex. Both died of illness at almost the same time and on the same day.
One day in September 1908, the Empress Dowager Cixi returned to the palace with diarrhea. In October, the birthday of the Empress Dowager Cixi, she was sick again due to overwork**. The situation is even more critical than the first.
Everyone thought that the Empress Dowager Cixi was afraid of death. No one expected that ten days later, Emperor Guangxu suddenly died at the age of 38.
Cixi immediately sent someone to deal with the aftermath and put the three-year-old Pu Yi on the throne.
Everything seems to be going according to plan very quickly, and the chain of actions is so bizarre that the eunuchs don't even have a chance to check the ** and the cause of death.
It stands to reason that the sudden death of an emperor is rare, so you need to find out the cause of his death before you start your mission.
If Emperor Guangxu died of natural illness, this would be excusable, but if it was not a natural death, as long as the eunuchs had taken the test, they would know. Therefore, Cixi's later series of actions aroused the suspicion of many people, and many people believed that the death of Emperor Guangxu was not unrelated to Cixi.
The day after Emperor Guangxu died, Cixi also died. On the last day of Cixi, Emperor Guangxu drove to the west early in the morning, and the night pearl bubbled in the evening. It's sad.
The Qing Dynasty lost two important figures in an instant, and the whole country mourned.
After the death of the Empress Dowager Cixi, her funeral was like her mouth, with countless night pearls, gold and silver jewelry, and it was very luxurious. This was the end of Cixi's life of supremacy of power.
Many believe that Cixi poisoned the Guangxu Emperor, and that he initially opposed the Guangxu Emperor because he predicted that the Guangxu Emperor would die soon, rather than die of natural causes due to illness.
In fact, posterity does not know what really happened. With the passage of time, everything was lost in the long river of history.
