What Xiang Xiao shared with you today is that this eunuch once mastered his unique skills. He entered the palace at the age of 20, and the 45-year-old Cixi spoiled him. Even Zhenzhen pushed him into the well. So, who is he? His original name was Cui Zhishi, the second eunuch of Empress Dowager Cixi in the late Qing Dynasty, Cui Yugui.
He entered the palace at the age of 20, and Cui Yugui, who is a fellow villager with Li. It is said that Cui's cousin is Li's uncle and aunt, and Cui is Li's uncle by seniority, so he was promoted so quickly. In addition, there is another reason. Cui Yugui was born in Hejian House, the hometown of a famous eunuch. Maybe it's because we're both unhappy-everlasting, why should I be a eunuch when we meet?
In fact, when he entered the palace at the age of 20, his family was very poor when he was a child, and a family of five settled in one room. It is difficult to survive because of years of famine. Cui Yugui, who is only 12 years old, went to Beijing at home. Cui Yugui first became a eunuch in the Qing dynasty palace, and later ran a troupe in the palace. Cui was recommended to act in the Shengping Department of the Palace. During Guangxu period, he was promoted to the second general manager, awarded three titles and put on a bright blue top hat, and made a fortune from then on.
Cixi was born in 1835, that is, Empress Xiao Qinxian, Ye He Na La, the concubine of Emperor Xianfeng, and the biological mother of Emperor Tongzhi. At that time, he was only 45 years old, which means that Cui Yugui was born in 1860 and entered the palace at the age of 20 in 1880.
Perhaps, it is precisely because he is the eunuch of the Qing palace and performed well in the exercise that he stood out. Even Cixi took Zhen Fei with him when she executed him.
Eight-Nation Alliance went to Beijing, and the palace was in a panic. Empress Dowager Cixi, who was about to flee from the palace, went out of Leshou Hall and came to the backyard of Yihexuan. After a while, Cui Yugui was asked to release Zhen Fei from the Qi Jing Pavilion. Zhen Fei followed Cui Yugui to Cixi and wished "Good luck to Lafayette".
The queen mother said, "What good luck can there be? Boxer, foreigners go to Beijing, you are young and handsome, and you are afraid of embarrassing yourself if you stay. What do you say? " She thought about it and shouted "suicide by jumping into the well", so Cixi said that you should go down first, so the eunuch Cui Yugui threw Zhenfei into the water and drowned.
Wonderful post:
Cixi's four folk night pearls were hidden in pillows by maids for 64 years.
As we all know, Cixi ruled China for 48 years in the last Qing Dynasty, and there were countless gold, silver and jewels around her. However, in addition to the pearls in her mouth after her death, the nine pearls on her rockhopper are also priceless. According to the auction price, it is said that each night pearl on the phoenix crown of Empress Dowager Cixi is worth 600 million yuan.
Li Yingfa's Collection of Literature and History records that in June, 900, Eight-Nation Alliance invaded the Forbidden City, and Empress Dowager Cixi ordered people not to fight back. Instead, she followed her own advice of seeking peace. She took off four of the nine night pearls on the rockhopper and begged them to leave the capital. Since the eunuch Li was absent at that time, Cixi sent a maid-in-waiting to the Ximen Hotel to send the luminous pearl. At that time, Wang Xing's maid was only 17 years old, and Cixi warned her to walk carefully or she would be beheaded. Who knows this maid-in-waiting, who got rid of her accompanying sisters, escaped and went all the way back to her hometown Xi 'an. What she didn't expect was that history had already changed and her relatives were gone.
Sixty-four years later (A.D. 1964), these four night pearls were found in a person's home in Xi 'an. The couple cleaned up, and the child took apart a dirty black pillow and prepared to clean it. Only then did he find that there was a red cloth bag, a layer of oiled paper and a layer of thin paper wrapped with four crystal beads as big as longan. Later, it was confirmed to be a night pearl and handed over to the country.
It turned out that this greasy pillow was given to them by 80-year-old Grandma Wang before she died. Because, from a very young age, Master Wu of this family adopted this desperate old man and treated her as her own mother. 1963 The old man gave this little pillow to them before he died. The old man surnamed Wang was a maid-in-waiting beside Empress Dowager Cixi, the ruler of the Qing Dynasty, more than 60 years ago.
