In the fifteenth year of Daoguang, on the 10th day of the tenth month of the lunar calendar, she was born in the Xisi Pai Lou Pichai Hutong in Beijing, which is today's Bicai Hutong. His father, Yehenala Huizheng, was originally a person with a blue flag, not a Manchurian dignitary, and later his father was a daughter who was promoted to the yellow flag of the three flags. Hui Zheng was born as a prisoner, served as a petty official such as a pen sticker, and worked as a Taoist in the local area.

History books rarely leave names for women, as expensive as Empress Wu Zetian, but they only leave a self-changed "瞾" character of the sun and moon in the air. Some people say that the hostess of this tomb is nicknamed "Xing'er Gu", because the family courtyard is planted with white apricot trees, and her grandfather named her "Xingzhen". Some people also say that she was originally a Han Chinese, born in rural Shanxi, her surname is Wang, and she was levied as an adopted daughter by the prefect of Lu'an when she was a child, changed her name to "Yulan", and pretended to be her own daughter to draft into the palace - this is doubtful.

At the age of seventeen, she became the Lan nobleman of Emperor Xianfeng, and two years later she was promoted to concubine. At that time, half of the empire was already surnamed Hong, and the king of heaven looked north at Yanjing, eyeing the tiger. At the age of twenty-one, she gave birth to the only prince for Emperor Xianfeng. She and Wu Zetian also wrote well, and the emperor always asked her to write and approve the chapters. The fate of the 40,000,000 people of the empire is all condensed on the tip of her vermilion brush. At the age of twenty-five, foreign devils entered Beijing City, burned the Old Summer Palace, and she accompanied the emperor to escape to Rehe. The following year, she became a widow, and at the age of six her son became emperor. Before Emperor Xianfeng died, he left behind the eight ministers, and they hated her, and she also hated those eight men. In the year of Xin You, she learned the trick of a coup d'état and killed Su Shun and other ministers. She reused Zeng Guofan, Li Hongzhang, Zuo Zongtang and other Han important ministers to create "Tongzhi Zhongxing".

At the age of forty, her only son died. Disgusted with her daughter-in-law, she let the poor girl commit suicide by swallowing gold and bury her husband in Huiling in Tanglin.

Thirty years later, she was also buried in a grave, just thousands of steps away from the grave of her son and daughter-in-law. In the history books, her name is Yehenara clan, the emblem is Cixi, and the nickname is Empress Xiaoqinxian.

After another twenty years, she awoke from her grave.

Yehe is one of the oldest Jurchen clans, in the early years of the Ming Dynasty, the Yeh Nara clan and the Aixinjue Luo clan fought endlessly, and the two sides were almost feuding. Nurhachi rose up and completely conquered Yehnara, leaving behind the saying that "whoever destroys the state will be Yehe".

At this time, sixteen years had passed since the fall of the Qing Dynasty.

Her eyes were still closed, but she didn't look like a dead person, but like she had just fallen asleep.

She was awakened by three men: one in a military uniform with a pockmarked face; One dressed in black with a centipede-like scar crawling on the right side of his face; There was also a tomb robber dressed in a tomb robber's shirt, with a white face and clear eyebrows.

The three of them met heads and grabbed the edge of the inner coffin, their eyes were almost blinded by the jewels, and it took a long time to get used to the brilliant light and see her lying in the coffin clearly.

She was seventy-three years old when she died, but she looked like a middle-aged woman. The Western photographers who took pictures of her, and the minister's wife who accompanied her to watch the theater and visit the garden, all said that she looked more youthful than her actual age, and her skin and complexion were excellent. When she was sleeping in the coffin, she also maintained her former appearance, but with a thick layer of makeup powder to isolate the air.

For the living, air is the source of life; But for the dead, air is the kiss of death.

Although Ah Hai gritted his teeth, he didn't dare to come out; Sun Dianying almost fell off the coffin, and the revolutionary fighting spirit vanished. There was also a "bang-bang" kowtow in the dungeon, first from the old eunuch He Changzai, and then from other officers and soldiers.

Xiao Mu noticed that her hands were stacked on top of her abdomen, holding a jade lotus flower. The backs of her hands were covered by the sleeves of the dragon and phoenix robes, and her fingernails were as sharp and slender as eagle's claws, and she was covered with nail covers decorated with gold, silver, pearls, jade, and cloisonné...... This is not that the tomb robbers still grow nails and hair after death, but the bad custom that the late Qing Dynasty officials and nobles like to keep long nails. The Empress Dowager Cixi is the leader of this fashion, because leaving sharp long nails means that there is no need to work, and those who work hard will cure those who work hard. The class division of late Qing society can be seen mostly from the length of fingernails.

But between the nail cover and the sleeve tube, a few of her fingers were exposed, all covered with white hair, more than an inch long, like tofu that had not been eaten in the house for two days.

She was not asleep, but dead. It's just that time is stuffed into a safe, and twenty years are frozen into twenty seconds.

Twenty seconds later, the full face began to change. The air was the grim reaper of the dead, the air was like a sharp knife, the air was like a bullet, the air was like poison, the air was like a fire, the air touched and kissed the surface of the corpse, and her skin and muscles began to contract violently. The face that was originally in her forties instantly turned into a wrinkled old lady, her cheeks and eye sockets were sunken, her lips were cracked, her skin turned from pale to black, and finally turned into a zombie face.

Sun Dianying fell completely, and Ah Hai also shook twice, only Xiao Mu Grain did not move, this scene was already expected.

You can never eat ice cream without opening the refrigerator.

The old eunuch was escorted to the coffin, forced to witness the Empress Dowager Cixi's rapidly decaying remains, and asked him to instruct him on the essentials of each treasure. He Chang was in a handful of snot and tears, Zhongshan's dagger was on his neck, although he had lived so old, his desire to survive was no less than that of young people, and he muttered sharply: "Lafayette, Xiao Hezi can't live with your old man, Xiao Hezi still wants to live for two more days." ”

Ah Hai patted Xiao Mu on the shoulder, needless to say, it was his turn to show his powers. The two soldiers carried a wooden plank, and Xiaomu climbed onto it, his whole body parallel to the corpse, and his hands were just free to touch any part of the coffin.

Under the guidance of He Chang, Xiao Mu slowly took off the Nine Dragons and Phoenix Crown on the head of the Empress Dowager Cixi, and by the way, he wrapped a few locks of black hair, and I don't know if it was dyed black. The phoenix crown is inlaid with pearls and gemstones, and there is a pearl as big as an egg, which weighs about four taels in the palm of the hand. Xiao Mu knows the market in the antique market, and every time he opens the coffin, he can calculate the approximate value in his mind. But the bead on the phoenix crown is really beyond the scope of calculation, it is simply astronomical.

The woven gold tuni sutra quilt covering the corpse, with a bright yellow satin bottom, twisted gold woven into dense dharani scriptures, decorated with more than 800 pearls. Kogi is quite experienced in picking up the ends of the warp, like intercepting the textiles on the mummy's body.

The soldiers carried the wooden plank to turn the direction, and Xiao Mu touched the soles of the feet from the top of the head of the Empress Dowager Cixi, and took out a canopy of jasper lotus flowers - lotus flowers on the top of the head and lotus flowers on the feet, which is "step by step lotus".

Xiao Mu found two jade cabbages, green leaves and white hearts, there is an emerald green grasshopper on the cabbage heart, and there are two wasps next to the cabbage leaves - just like the jade white jade and the braised pork strange stone, which will become the treasure of the National Palace Museum in Taipei in the future. The aesthetic level of the Chinese, in the two hundred years of the Qing Dynasty, really regressed greatly.

A coral tree, six emerald horses, ten Buddhas and jade Buddhas, eighteen golden arhats, one hundred and eight emerald Buddhas...... Under the personal supervision of Sun Dianying, they were put into the wooden boxes prepared in advance by the soldiers.

Finally, the huge jade watermelon came out, and the brilliant light color made Xiao Mu's hands tremble, like an unripe watermelon, waiting for the knife to cut it down to reveal the bright red melon pulp.
