Cixi said that women will never be allowed to get involved in politics in the future, so she is the last person to get involved in politics. Guangxu is dead, and there is no opponent. Women are not allowed to go into politics in the future. Cixi, in her words, is an exception. What Cixi didn't expect was that three years after her death, Queen Yulong signed a letter of abdication.

Posthumous title of Cixi has 25 words, which is the longest in history.

In fact, posthumous title of Cixi violated the ancestral precepts. For example, there are two Qin characters in posthumous title, which are taboo; Posthumous title could only keep five or six words in his emblem before his death, but at that time, the luck of the Qing Dynasty was running out, and the ministers in the DPRK had already ignored posthumous title of Cixi.
