Emperor Kangxi was a prominent monarch in Chinese history, who ruled for 61 years and ushered in the prosperous period of Kangqian. Among Kangxi's many queens, there is one who has received the most revered title, and her existence not only has a significant impact on Kangxi's life, but also an extraordinary symbol.
This empress is Cixi. Cixi's title is extremely noble, and behind this is Kangxi's deep love for her, and he did not hesitate to violate the ancestral teachings. At the beginning of Kangxi's accession to the throne, he strictly adhered to the monogamous system, but for the sake of Cixi, he chose to love wholeheartedly.
This noble empress not only helped Kangxi build the foundation of the prosperous era during her reign, but also maintained the continuation of the Kangqian era with her majesty and decisiveness in later years.
Although Kangxi's life was full of ups and downs, his deep affection for Cixi never changed. Their marriage was not all smooth sailing, when Kangxi first ascended the throne, Cixi was just a young girl, but the relationship between them has been tempered by time and has always maintained a deep relationship.
Kangxi not only doted on her, but also relied on her intelligence in government affairs. When Kangxi was seriously ill, Cixi once acted as the ruler of the court, showing outstanding leadership skills and laying a solid foundation for Kangxi's rule.
Kangxi's deep affection for Cixi is also reflected in his ancestral precept of breaking polygamy for her. Before Kangxi, the emperors of previous dynasties mostly practiced polygamy, but he insisted on monogamy for the sake of Cixi.
This decision was not only to satisfy personal feelings, but also to maintain the stability of imperial power. Therefore, Cixi's status was guaranteed to the greatest extent and she became a unique woman in Kangxi's harem.
Cixi, with her status favored by Kangxi, created her own historical legend. She is not only a queen behind Kangxi, but also with her personal charm and ability, she continued to govern the government after Kangxi's death.
Under her leadership, the Kangqian era reached a new peak and became a glorious period in Chinese history. Cixi was an outstanding woman, and the reason why she received such a noble title was precisely because of her outstanding performance in the Kangxi era.
She has shown extraordinary political wisdom and is good at handling government affairs and promoting the prosperity and development of the country. After Kangxi's death, Cixi continued to show strong leadership, leading the Qing Dynasty into the Qianlong era and continuing the Kangqian era.
However, the life of the Empress Dowager Cixi was not unassailable. Especially in her later years, that period"In the name of the Son of Heaven, the Empress Dowager Cixi ordered the princes"Historical events are even more controversial.
After expelling the regent who was dependent on foreign countries, she effectively took control of the real power of the Qing Dynasty. The incident damaged the reputation of the Qing Dynasty to a certain extent, and also cast a layer of controversy over Cixi's image.
In general, Kangxi's affection for Cixi was so deep that she became one of the most honorable empresses of the Kangqian era. Her outstanding political talent has won the deep admiration of the people.
However, her ruling behavior in her later years left a controversy in history. Despite this, she is still an outstanding woman in Chinese history, and her legendary life has left endless thoughts and memories for future generations.
