Cixi poisoned Emperor Guangxu and wanted to be buried with him, but she was afraid of being whipped after death?
It is said that Shunzhi likes hunting here. Later, people found that it was a beautiful mausoleum, so he immediately took it as the location of the mausoleum of later emperors.
The ancients generally believed that the cycle of life and death existed, and so did the hell. Deeply influenced by this concept, they believe that only by choosing the mausoleum in a treasure trove of geomantic omen and then making great efforts to build a luxurious underground palace can they continue to enjoy prosperity in the underworld. Limited by rights and money, ordinary people can't build a mausoleum on a large scale, but the royal family has great cause and power, and has enough conditions to build such a huge mausoleum. With the change of age, this trend is also intensifying.
Among them, the construction scale of Cixi Mausoleum is the largest, and it is said that it took hundreds of millions of taels of silver to build it. In this mausoleum, countless treasures are buried. In addition to the first time, there is a little-known secret buried-
Poison Emperor Guangxu and bury him with him. Although Cixi is a woman, she has a strong political skill. She once put two emperors on the throne, and he played with the vast country in his palm. Throughout the ages, she has been regarded as a schemer and a female tyrant in people's minds. When choosing a mausoleum for herself, she also carried out her consistent style and built a magnificent mausoleum in a jaw-dropping way.
As we all know, Empress Ci 'an was tied with her at that time. According to the old system, contemporary empresses can only have one tomb, that is to say, they should have been with an ancient tomb. But she changed this old custom in a tough way and instructed Emperor Guangxu to re-select two feng shui treasures for them to build a mausoleum.
The last two tombs were completed, but Cixi was still very dissatisfied because the construction specifications of the two ancient tombs were different. First of all, Ci 'an's tomb is obviously closer to Emperor Xianfeng, while hers is farther away, indicating that her tomb is lower. Secondly, Ci 'an's tomb cost more than 2.6 million taels, while hers cost less than 2.3 million taels. The scale is clear at a glance.
With the character of Cixi, of course, it will not be settled like this. How can she tolerate others being superior to her? This mausoleum seems to torment her self-esteem all the time. Later, after Cian's death, she had the right to manipulate the whole Qing Dynasty, and she finally had a chance to get rid of this knot in her heart.
At that time, it was the Sino-Japanese War, the treasury was empty, and it coincided with the drought in the world and the people's livelihood was depressed. It is reasonable to say that you should recuperate, and it is not appropriate to build large-scale projects and hurt the country's vitality. However, she never imagined that when the country was at its weakest, she started a plan to rebuild the mausoleum and repaired it for ten years.
In addition, she made a very cruel decision before she died-poisoning Emperor Guangxu.
As we all know, Emperor Guangxu died at the age of 38, and Cixi died the next afternoon. Is there any secret hidden in such a coincidental time of death? If there is no evidence, this statement can only be a guess, but the two orders issued by Emperor Guangxu just before his death in the Qing Dynasty have become the most favorable evidence that he was deliberately killed.
The content of the decree is simple:
First, arrange Puyi to enter the palace to be taught.
Second, Puyi's father served as regent and was in charge of military affairs.
The same meaning is also very simple: Puyi is the future heir of the Qing Dynasty, and his father is the real ruler at present.
Imagine that Guangxu, as an emperor, has never been able to use this right freely, and now he is going to die. How can he find someone to restrict his rights?
Therefore, he never wrote these two imperial edicts, even he himself had never heard of them, and besides him, only Cixi had such rights.
Speaking of it, Cixi and Guangxu are ten times more demanding than Dourgen and Shunzhi. In view of the past experience, she is actually very afraid of being dug out of the underground palace and whipped in the hot sun after her death, which is inconsistent with her good wish to continue to enjoy the splendor below. Once she dies, Guangxu will have supreme sovereignty, so her fate will never be much better than that of Dourgen. Therefore, the Qing dynasty was in urgent need of regime change, and she had to kill Guangxu.
For the aftermath, Cixi obviously considered further than Dourgen. Although both of them held heavy power before their lives, the latter did not rule out worries, which gave Shunzhi a chance to turn over after his death. Poor Guangxu didn't have this chance. He lived under the influence of Cixi all his life. Although he is the emperor, he is also unfortunate.
