Cixi is a blue flag bearer, and it is clearly recorded in the jade book that she is "the daughter of Zheng Hui of Ye Henala". According to Ye Hena Lagen Zheng's oral records, Cixi was born in Beijing Xicipai Hutong, which is now Bicai Hutong.
Cixi (1835165438+1October 29th-1908 65438+1October 15) is the queen, Ye La, the concubine of Emperor Xianfeng. An important political figure and actual ruler in the late Qing Dynasty.
1908, Emperor Guangxu died, and Cixi chose three-year-old Puyi as the new emperor. Today, she is honored as the empress dowager. The next day, 17 (less than three minutes), she died in a Luan Temple and was buried in Ding Dong Mausoleum in Putuo Valley.
Extended data:
Cixi was born in 1835 in the official family of Manchu Dynasty, and entered the Forbidden City as a concubine of Emperor Xianfeng. Although she ranked third, her position in the imperial court improved. At that time, she gave birth to a son, which was very important for women in the imperial court.
The young emperor Xianfeng faced enormous problems: the rebellion of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom lasted for 10 years, claiming millions of lives, the country was bleeding, and foreign forces were fiercely attacking the gates of the empire.
Cixi began to give the emperor some unnecessary suggestions, encouraging him to predict that she might interfere in state affairs after his death. In order to control her, he set up an eight-person regent China before his death.
Officially, Cixi had no power, but before she was buried, she successfully staged a coup with the late emperor's main wife, Empress Zhen. Cixi pretended to accuse these people of forging the emperor's will.
And in the first content of the death of Cixi, two of the most important people were ordered to commit suicide. Her son is called Tongzhi Emperor. Cixi's political career is extraordinary because she will never sit on the throne herself.
Her lasting strength depends on the emperor (as a child). In this regard, some people may say that she is lucky. Her son died in his teens in 1875, and another child, her three-year-old nephew, became Emperor Guangxu.
Cixi adopted him quickly, but strangely, she instructed him to call her "my imperial father". This is not a normal relationship. It was not her last time that she reluctantly "retired" on 1889 and devoted herself to the playground construction in the suburbs of Beijing.
After she retired, she helped to solve the trauma of 1894' s defeat in the war against Japan, and then maintained an active role in state affairs, which put her in a favorable position in the next coup.
From 65438 to 0898, Emperor Guangxu (Emperor Guangxu and Cixi can be said to be sworn enemies) launched a radical reform plan under the guidance of two former imperial scholars, Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao, and there was greater resistance against conservatives in the court.
Kang Youwei is portrayed here as a scheming upstart-convincing Empress Dowager Cixi that she is an existence that must remain neutral. Cixi intends to strike first: by September 1898, she abolished Guangxu, imprisoned Guangxu and reined herself.
Those reformers who did not escape were executed. At the same time, two completely innocent people were executed. They tried to stop Cixi from plotting to assassinate her and become a public figure.
The last few years of Cixi's career were equally dramatic, reflecting the contradictions in her life. Her biggest mistake was to encourage the violent people's uprising, which was a violent anti-foreign and anti-Christian movement and eventually led to the bloody massacre of foreign troops in Beijing.
As a result, punitive foreign aid and huge compensation were given to the countries concerned. The Qing government and Cixi paid a heavy price for the mistake she later admitted. She herself had to flee the capital, but she still ordered the killing of Guangxu's favorite concubine.
After returning to the capital, she suffered a loss and began to make friends with the wives of permanent diplomats and legations in order to restore her reputation in the world.
Using Kang Youwei's blueprint of exile, she launched her own reform plan within two years. She died in 1908, and poisoned Guangxu with arsenic the day before, thus creating the last vacancy on the throne of the Dragon King.
It was made up by the last emperor Puyi: 19 1 1 year, the empire fell, and Puyi abdicated the following year. China began a long, bloody and unfinished process of trying to become a modern republic.
1927, under the Kuomintang (nationalist) government, Cixi's grave was destroyed by grave robbers, her jewelry and teeth were stolen, and her body was exposed.
