At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the political power was in the hands of Cixi. The two emperors are like puppets of the country, with no real power. All important decisions must be approved by Cixi. Later, after the death of Cixi, she was buried in the Qing Tomb. Cixi's mausoleum can be said to be more luxurious than many emperors in the past, including countless treasures buried with her, such as jade carved red coral, night pearl and jade cabbage, all of which are valuable.

Originally, the Qing Dynasty had declined. In the twenty years after Cixi's death, her grave was ransacked, and even Cixi's body was thrown into the smelly water. Cixi must have never imagined that such a thing happened after her death, not only being dug up, but also being thrown into a ditch.

We know that in the Qing dynasty, it was clearly stipulated that the queen could not be buried in the mausoleum, but the queen's mausoleum could only be built. The official who built the mausoleum at that time invited the two queens, whose coffins were side by side, and their tombs were started at the same time.

Six years later, all the tombs were completed, consuming more than 5 million taels of silver. But the two mausoleums have the same specifications, which makes Empress Dowager Cixi very unhappy. Later, Empress Cian died. In order to rebuild the mausoleum, Empress Dowager Cixi asked for it to be rebuilt on the grounds that the mausoleum leaked all the year round. Empress Dowager Cixi spent a lot of material, human and financial resources to build a luxurious mausoleum, and the national treasury began to be short. The construction of the mausoleum lasted thirteen years.

According to the records of the Qing Dynasty, the Jin Yezi used in Empress Dowager Cixi's mausoleum is 4,582 Liang, and there are more than 2,400 golden dragons in the hall. Every pillar is wrapped with golden dragons. All the pillars are made of white marble, and the wood is Huang Huali wood. How can the Qing Dynasty not perish like this?

? Before Empress Dowager Cixi entered the coffin, her body was covered with many jewels, and her whole body was covered with treasures. The value of these things is incalculable, about half that of the Qing treasury. Many craftsmen were finally executed, but they accidentally let a craftsman escape and told others the inside story of Empress Dowager Cixi's mausoleum. The secret of the mausoleum was known to grave robbers. Later, Sun Dianying closed the mausoleum and started stealing on the grounds of military exercises. The treasure inside is beyond the imagination of soldiers, and many things are readily available.
