Even after my death, I am obsessed with wealth! Li is the personal eunuch of Empress Dowager Cixi. Later, he recalled that when Empress Dowager Cixi died, he packed more than 20 boxes of buried treasures. When a big box is almost full, it's time to cover the coffin. A princess came and filled the box with all her treasures. This is the only way to cover the coffin. Li recalled that the coffin of Empress Dowager Cixi was covered with pearls and agates five feet thick! There are countless silks and satins After the death of Empress Dowager Cixi, the crown was inlaid with four very large pearls, the largest of which was valued at over10000000 taels of silver.
It is said that all these funerary objects add up to 200 million taels of silver, which is almost the income of the Qing government for three years at that time. The most expensive thing is not these, but the most valuable thing is the night pearl stuffed in the mouth of Empress Dowager Cixi. I thought I would put the Empress Dowager Cixi's tomb in good order, but I didn't want to be blasted by Sun Dianying more than 20 years later and stole the gold, silver and jewels inside. Sun Dianying recalled that after he took the soldiers to blow up the tomb, he saw the body of Empress Dowager Cixi, but he felt that she seemed to be asleep and the body had completely rotted. Sun Dianying found that Empress Dowager Cixi's mouth was a little abnormal, so she pried it open with a knife.
Then I took the pearl out of my mouth. When the night pearl was taken out, Empress Dowager Cixi's whole body changed. Her face began to turn black and her body slowly rotted. After stealing the tomb of Empress Dowager Cixi, in order to take refuge, Sun Dianying scattered most of his treasures and gave them to many senior officers, including Chiang Kai-shek. Later, he gave the pearl to Song Meiling, but Song Meiling didn't pay much attention to it, just put it on his shoes. Later, Chiang Kai-shek and Song Meiling fled to Taiwan Province Province. Rockefeller, the American oil magnate, bought this bead and put it in his own museum for people to watch. Now this bead is still in America.
