Why did Cixi cut down the ginkgo tree in Guangxu's father's cemetery?

Because the ancient ginkgo tree is called ginkgo tree, and Guangxu's father is a prince. White? Besides? Wang? What a coincidence. What a coincidence. The emperor? In order to protect orthodoxy, Cixi ordered the ginkgo tree to be cut down. Emperor Tongzhi died suddenly, leaving no children. In addition, there is only one son in the Xianfeng emperor family, so who will inherit the throne after the death of the Tongzhi emperor has become the most important thing. Therefore, the palace held an emergency seminar. Finally, under the leadership of Cixi, Zai Tian, the son of Yi Xuan, the Prince of Alcohol, was adopted as the Tongzhi Emperor, and then he became the emperor.

Cixi chose Zai Tian because he is his sister's son and he is still young, which is more conducive to her control of state affairs. Although Emperor Guangxu was able to become the king of a country because of Cixi's help, he was not very grateful to Cixi, and the two sides sometimes had conflicts of opinion. For example, after Guangxu's biological father died, a very tall ginkgo tree suddenly grew next to his mausoleum. This ginkgo tree grows amazingly, growing to more than ten feet in just a few years. A North Korean interior minister who is keen on observing Feng Shui immediately reported the matter to Cixi, saying that the tree should be cut down as soon as possible.

Asked why, this man said that ginkgo tree is also called ginkgo tree, and its location is the graveyard of Prince Alcohol. Together, the two are just one? The emperor? Words. After hearing this, Cixi also felt that this ginkgo tree should not stay for a long time, so she ordered someone to cut it down. But Guangxu refused after hearing about it, thinking it was a disrespect for his father. Because of Guangxu's obstruction, the matter of cutting down trees was shelved.

After a period of stalemate between the two sides, Cixi decided to personally take people to cut down trees. Under the leadership of Cixi, the imperial secretary no longer had any fear and cut down the ginkgo tree three or two times. Guangxu hurried to the cemetery after he retired from the DPRK, but it was too late. This ginkgo tree was not only cut down, but Cixi was also worried that its remaining roots would grow back in the future, so she also had the remaining roots filled with limewater. Guangxu saw that the tree was cut down, and finally he could only accept the result.
