Li Shufen's grandfather, Li Lianying, is GuangxuAnswer, and there issub
Li Lianying's image in history has always been regarded as a treacherous, vicious, and shameless person, and there is hardly any merit to be found. However, most of this perception comes from the oral account of Princess De Ling, and De Ling is not really a princess, but a foreign bookseller gave her a title in order to promote her, and then the name spread, and even she began to believe that she was a princess.
Therefore, our understanding of Li Lianying is inevitably affected by this misunderstanding.
Li Lianying's reputation has always been poor in literary works and film and television dramas, but his granddaughter Li Shufen has a different opinion. As Li Lianying's relatives and friends, Li Shufen knows him far more than the outside world.
In history, wild histories and notes**, there are many secrets and evaluations about Li Lianying, but these cannot be compared with Li Shufen's personal experience. Li Shufen said that it does not matter whether Li Lianying is really as cold-blooded and ruthless as portrayed in the book and TV series.
The most important thing is that Li Lianying experienced a nine-year-old cleansing and a thirteen-year-old serving the emperor before entering the palace, which are his real experiences as a eunuch.
It is well known that Li Lianying's birthplace is incorrect in different works. He was originally from Jinan, Shandong Province, but later due to famine, his family moved to Dacheng County, Hebei Province, and settled in Qinglongqiao.
Li Lianying has five brothers, and he ranks second. When he entered the court at the age of seven, he had not yet undergone purification, he was just an ordinary Sulla, and his ** was An Dehai.
Two years later, An Dehai found that he was smart and could do things, so he personally sent him to the "field" to cleanse himself. At the age of thirteen, the British and French invaded Beijing and burned the Old Summer Palace.
Li Lianying and ** took refuge in Rehe together, and then Emperor Xianfeng died, and the Yehenala clan became the Empress Dowager Cixi by virtue of the nobility of the heir, and competed for power with the eight ministers of Sushun, and was closely monitored by Sushun and others.
It is rumored that An Dehai quietly slipped out and handed over the secret letter to Prince Gong. But the actual situation is that it was Li Lianying who secretly sent the secret letter, not An Dehai. Su Shun and the others** Cixi and Ci'an will send people to the capital to deliver secret letters, so they are particularly vigilant against An Dehai.
Li Lianying was not very noticeable as a little eunuch, but he hid the warrant of the Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces in his braid, wrapped it tightly with a head rope, tied a dead knot, and then carried two buckets of swill, slipped out of the back of the village, rushed back to the capital late at night, and handed the warrant to Prince Gong.
Of course, the real mastermind of this mission is his ** An Dehai. After this incident, Cixi had a special appreciation for An Dehai, and Li Lianying also benefited a lot.
Regarding Li Lianying's career, there is a theory that he learned the combing technique in Bada Hutong, and then returned to the palace to comb the hair of the Empress Dowager Cixi, so he was reused. However, this claim is unfounded.
The rules in the palace are very strict, and different identities require different hairstyles. The Empress Dowager Cixi combed the hairstyle of the banner woman all the year round, that is, "two heads". The hairstyle of Cixi in those old ** was single and never changed.
If Li Lianying really combed Sister Yao's hairstyle for Cixi, it would be simply looking for death, even if Cixi was willing, those princes and ministers would not agree. If it was really combed into Sister Yao's hairstyle, when the ministers met with Cixi, the eunuch shouted "See-guest", and the ministers' faces would definitely be lost.
The plots in the book and in the movie are all made up and completely implausible.
The relationship between Guangxu and Li Lianying is not as hostile as ordinary people think, on the contrary, their relationship is very close. Some people think that Li Lianying is Guangxu's enemy, and even think that he is the cause of Guangxu's death.
However, these are all nonsense. The actual situation is that Li Lianying took great care of Guangxu, and even during the escape, Cixi wanted to starve Guangxu to death, but Li Lianying secretly gave him food and sandwiched meat in the flatbread to ensure Guangxu's diet.
In addition, when Guangxu was imprisoned in Yingtai, thanks to Li Lianying's care, he also gave his futon to Guangxu, otherwise Guangxu would have frozen to death. In Guangxu's eyes, Li Lianying was like his big brother, and he even called Li Lianying "Harmony" in public, which is the Manchu word for "wet nurse", which is usually used on respected eunuchs.
In private, he calls Li Lianying "An A" or "old brother". In short, the relationship between Guangxu and Li Lianying is deep, full of mutual respect and love.
In the frustrated years, Guangxu would often kill time by fiddling with clocks. At this time, Li Lianying will accompany him to study the craftsmanship of Western clocks. They would often disassemble and assemble the clocks together, and if they couldn't wear them, they would ask the clockmaster in the palace to help repair them.
This experience was often mentioned by the watchmaker after he left the palace, so many people knew about it. The statement about whether Li Lianying has a son is indeed true, but it is also a little complicated.
Li Lianying does have four sons, but they are all the children of his own brothers, and they came through his own generation. The eldest son is called Li Fuhai, the second is called Li Fuheng, the third is called Li Fuyin, and the fourth is called Li Futian.
Li Lianying likes the third child Li Fuyin the most, because he thinks this child is very sensible and well-behaved. And he doesn't like his eldest son Li Fuhai the most, because Li Fuhai always takes benefits in the name of Li Lianying, which brings a lot of trouble to Li Lianying.
Because of Li Fuhai's behavior, Li Lianying gained a bad reputation among the princes and ministers. These people were disgusted with him and did their best to slander him, calling him useless. However, some opera artists of the older generation, such as Jin Xiushan, Jin Shaoshan, Gao Qingkui, etc., have great respect for Li Lianying and know him well.
They often say good things for Li Lianying outside to help him save his reputation. Gao Qingkui once mentioned to people many times a poem that Li Lianying often recited: the head is tied around the waist, and the legs are used as feet.
Once the dragon was angry, the five bodies divided the corpse. This shows that Li Lianying is a person who understands current affairs, he knows his position in front of his master, and he will never do anything to cause trouble.
Li Lianying: Three years after Cixi's death, he died with only 150,000 taels, and he was a good person compared to Xiaode Zhang. Xiao Dezhang: The richest man in Jinmen, he has opened dozens of industries such as power companies, there are too many real estate to count, and there are more than a dozen aunts.
And Li Lianying behaved well, teaching her son to abide by the rules.
This article is over. All the information comes from Li Hanxiang's notes and Li Shufen's dictation. Li Shufen's father is Li Fuhou, and her grandfather is Li Lianying's third brother.
Therefore, she knows Li Lianying's life in great detail. Many old materials also record Li Lianying's real life, so we can't just rely on film and television dramas and ** to understand history, but should look for more old archives that remain in the world, so that we can understand history more deeply.
