"Wang Qingqi's status even surpassed that of the late Zaicheng, because he brought more fresh and exciting entertainment to the emperor, which made Tongzhi ecstatic and unable to extricate himself."

"Wang Qingqi even took the emperor to watch the "** Picture" in the deep palace, and he was too much to monitor the tea next to him and did not see it."

But the indulgences of the palace did not satisfy them, and they began to venture into the underground red-light district of the inner capital in search of pleasure, where crime and disease coexisted.

"Let's not talk about the specifics, let's just talk about this disease problem, and Emperor Tongzhi died on this issue."

"In the Qing Dynasty, medicine was still in the early stages of exploration, and some deadly diseases like smallpox made people helpless, and life and death could only be left to fate."

[It's that kind of disease, readers think for themselves.] ］

"But no matter what the truth is, the dramatic and short life of Emperor Tongzhi cannot change his tragic fate."

"There were also good things that happened during the reign of Emperor Tongzhi."

"During the reign of Emperor Tongzhi, the Qing government relied on a group of important ministers such as Zeng Guofan, Li Hongzhang, and Zuo Zongtang to suppress the Taiping Rebellion."

"During his reign, the Qing Dynasty successively put down the Shaanxi-Gansu Hui uprising, the Yunnan Hui uprising, and the Guizhou Miao uprising."

At the same time, a new policy for foreign affairs was established, and a period of political stability appeared in the late Qing Dynasty, which was known as "Tongzhi Zhongxing" in history. ”

"Emperor Tongzhi has been an emperor for 19 years in his life."

"I don't know if it's a blessing or a misfortune."

He was fortunate to say that Emperor Tongzhi was born in the emperor's house, enjoying the honor of "the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister", living a life of brocade clothes and jade food, and Zhong Ming's prosperous life, no brothers compete with him, and successfully ascended the throne of the emperor. ”

"But Tongzhi is also unlucky, the first misfortune, he lost his father at a young age, his father died at the age of six, the second misfortune, he was put on the throne in his childhood, and he could not enjoy the joy of innocence, the third misfortune, he had a bad relationship with his mother, and was often reprimanded, the fourth unfortunate marriage was unsatisfactory, and the fifth misfortune was that he died at the age of nineteen."

"Throughout the twelve emperors of the Qing Dynasty, Zai Chun was indeed the youngest to die."

"Everyone in the world sighs that Chun is sad and pitiful, and he has done nothing in his short life."

"In fact, it can be seen that Jae-chun is not really inactive, and during his reign, there was a new policy of Tongzhi."

"The Queen Mother of the Two Palaces listened to the government, discussed the government, and Wang Yi presided over the government affairs, cooperated with each other, and implemented the new policy."

"But the untimely death of Emperor Tongzhi not only ended his imperial hegemony, but also brought a turning point in the historical process of the Qing Dynasty."

"After his death, the Empress Dowager Cixi once again grasped the power of the empire and appointed a three-year-old Guangxu as the new monarch."

"With the help of Emperor Guangxu, the Empress Dowager Cixi launched a number of internal political innovations and diplomatic campaigns, but repeatedly hit a wall, which accelerated the decline of the Qing Empire, and finally led to the Xinhai Revolution and the end of the Qing Dynasty."

"At this time, we are going to talk about the Empress Dowager Cixi, and there is really a chat." Zhang Yanxi took a sip of water directly, there are too many topics about this topic, and there are all aspects.

"Cixi was an indispensable and important figure at the end of the Qing Dynasty, she was a woman, but she held the power of the Qing Dynasty for so many years, and she influenced the historical trend of the Qing Dynasty."

"Cixi was just a noble person at the beginning, and it was quite powerful to be able to do the power of the government and the opposition in the back."

"In 1852, the emperor drafted, this woman entered the palace, everyone in the world loves beauty, and Emperor Xianfeng is of course no exception.

"However, among the show girls at that time, Xianfeng's favorite was not Nala's, but the fifteen-year-old daughter of Mu Yang'a in Youjiang Province, Guangxi, Niu Colu, although her appearance was not outstanding, she was dignified."

"On the 11th day of February, she was made a concubine on the same day as the Nala clan, and a month later she was canonized as the queen, and she was later the Empress Dowager Ci'an."

"But fate seems to favor this Nala clan, and it didn't take long for Xianfeng to give birth to the only son in his life, who was later Emperor Tongzhi, and she also embarked on the unusual route of motherhood and son."

"One is suitable for being a queen, the other is that the emperor likes it, Emperor Xianfeng is a romantic figure, this Cixi is not only beautiful but also a little capable, and she is also very favored in the harem."

"Zeng Guofan, who pacified the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, is said to have been recommended by the Empress Dowager Cixi to Emperor Xianfeng."

"At that time, Emperor Xianfeng had no way to solve the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and it was the Empress Dowager Cixi who told Emperor Xianfeng to give power to Zeng Guofan and let Zeng Guofan find a way to pacify the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom by himself."

"Although Emperor Xianfeng is obsessed with women and does not seek progress, he is not stupid."

"He knew that the Empress Dowager Cixi was too ambitious, and he was afraid that after his death, she would not be controlled and begin to seize state power."

"So Emperor Xianfeng once wanted to abolish Cixi, but considering that Cixi was the prince's biological mother, if Cixi was killed, it would be very unfavorable to the prince's growth, so he kept Cixi."

"However, Emperor Xianfeng also gave Ci'an a secret order, giving her the right to execute Cixi, which shows that Emperor Xianfeng was jealous of Cixi."

"During the period of Emperor Xianfeng, Cixi was just a concubine in the harem who competed for favor, and the change was still during the period of Emperor Tongzhi, at this time, this Cixi seemed to be a little imaginary with the empress."

"But power is like opium, it not only changed Cixi's heart, but also her appearance."

"In the cruel and cold court struggle, Cixi turned to the most critical political struggle of the entire Qing Dynasty."

"Emperor Xianfeng took every precaution, before he died, he carefully laid out, people are not as good as heaven, and in the end he made a fatal mistake and gave Cixi, a widow, a chance."

"There are two main things in Emperor Xianfeng's edict."

"One is to appoint his only son, the later Tongzhi Emperor, as the crown prince and inherit the emperor's throne in the future."

"The second is to appoint eight ministers to help handle all government affairs."

"The content of Emperor Xianfeng's edict is very clear, the father died and the son inherited, and the eight ministers assisted, but there is a fatal loophole, that is, this extremely important edict was not written by the emperor himself, but by his courtiers."

"At that time, Emperor Xianfeng was critically ill and decided to write a testament, but because he was no longer able to write, he could only dictate it and write it by the minister, and then he sealed it."

"This edict seems to be nothing, but in the future, it has become one of the key points for Cixi, Yi and others to attack the eight ministers."

"The crime is that when Emperor Xianfeng made the edict, the princes and ministers of BJ did not know about it, and the edict was suspected of being deceived by the eight ministers to blackmail Emperor Xianfeng, that is, he did not recognize the identity of the eight ministers and the power to assist in all government affairs."
