Why did Empress Dowager Cixi resolutely cut down a tree that grew on the ancestral grave of Chunwangfu in the Qing Dynasty?

Seven kings' graves? This tomb is located in Miaofeng in the western suburbs of Beijing, and its owner is Yi Xuan, the seventh son of Daoguang in Qing Dynasty. Cixi and Guangxu gave Yi Xuan five million and two thousand pieces of silver, and Yi Xuan used the money to buy Miao Feng's cemetery and prepared to put himself in this place after his death. Yi Xuan is very particular about Feng Shui, and he believes in superstition. In order to find a good cemetery for himself, he specially invited the then Feng Shui master Li to go with him. According to legend, a tall ginkgo tree grows in the ancestral grave of Chunwangfu in Miaofengfeng. This tree is full of luxuriant foliage, which tends to cover the sky and the sun. It is a scene.

It is just a big tree, but it has caused a lot of trouble. At that time, people were superstitious and thought that there was one ginkgo tree? White? Word, and the prince of wine is the king, with ginkgo on the top and grave on the bottom, take it? White? Word addition? Wang? Word, is it a? The emperor? Words. So people have been rumored that the Drunken Palace will be the emperor.

Unfortunately, this matter was spread to Cixi by good people. Cixi was very unhappy after hearing this. His son Tongzhi Emperor is well now. He and Wang Fu were close? What's the fun? This is not bad, so he ordered the eunuch to cut down the tree. At that time, the Prince of Alcohol was Yi Xuan, who dared not stop him if he was given ten courage. He could only watch the eunuch cut down trees. ?

As we all know, it is useless to cut down trees. It's time for an emperor to live in the palace. The short-lived ghost died, and Cixi, who had no son, took her sister's child with her. This is Guangxu, whose father is Yi Xuan.

This is one way of saying it. Another way of saying it is that after the Reform Movement of 1898, Cixi heard that there was a huge ginkgo tree in the ancestral grave of King Mi of Qin Chun. She complained to the whole family of Prince Qin Chun, so she ordered to cut down the tree and cut off the emperor's breath. I didn't expect the roots to be cut off constantly, and besides Puyi, Yi Xuan was Puyi's grandfather.

In fact, these are just made up by later generations. Where are these absurd things? Cixi is very busy, and she has no leisure to be melodramatic with a big tree. Let this kind of story go. If you believe in it, it will become gentle.
