(Emperor Tongzhi), Jin Yi's imperial concubine. After Tongzhi acceded to the throne, he conspired with Prince Gong for Su Shun and listened to politics. After Guangxu acceded to the throne, he still listened to politics. After Guangxu came to power, he launched a coup in 1898 because he had no real power. He was defeated by it and imprisoned Guangxu in the palace. In the twenty-first year of Guangxu, Guangxu died, and Cixi died the next day. Buried in Dongling.
Empress Dowager Cixi was in power for 50 years in the late Qing Dynasty, during which many important events were well known. In our impression, Empress Dowager Cixi is nothing more than a traitor, a schemer and cruel. However, as a mortal, Cixi also has her unknown side, and has the same emotions and worldly desires as ordinary people, which is not as incredible as we thought.
In China's modern history, when it comes to Empress Dowager Cixi, people often define it as a generation of "evil queen, power-loving, vicious, scheming, ignorant and stubborn". To this end, she won rave reviews from Chinese people. It can be said that many China people in Cixi are real traitors, vicious and ruthless autocratic fools with a long history. But after all, I can only know a little from the records. Imagine, if Cixi is really so stupid, how did she play with China for 48 years, almost half a century?
Empress Dowager Cixi, as one of the few women who held power for a long time during the imperial period, historians have never given up their research on this figure. Most of the historical works and literary works about Cixi only talk about the side of Cixi that harms the country and the people. Recently, historians have gradually begun to give a fair evaluation of Cixi's administration from the perspective of historical conditions. But in most people's minds, she is still a negative figure.
Regarding the evaluation of Empress Dowager Cixi, some people think that she is the chief culprit of humiliating the country. Some people think that she is the embodiment of evil and synonymous with humiliation; Some people think that her promiscuity with the harem and her love for countless men have brought great ethical impact to the traditional society where men are superior to women. She is a typical different person. So, what kind of person is Empress Dowager Cixi? How many Toy Boy does she have?
The Empress
Empress Dowager Cixi is one of the few women in the history of China who once controlled the whole country. Since she 15 was selected as a scholar in the palace, it was doomed that her fate was closely linked with the Qing Dynasty. After entering the palace, Empress Dowager Cixi won the favor of Emperor Xianfeng with her beautiful face and clever intelligence, and was named Queen of Iraq. After the death of Emperor Xianfeng, Empress Dowager Cixi joined forces with Prince Gong. Launching the "Qi Xiang Change" quickly took control of the state affairs and pushed the young Tongzhi emperor to the throne of the emperor. He became the real controller behind the scenes, as the history books say. After Empress Dowager Cixi came to power, her pent-up personal desires were released like a raging river. As a result, one man after another was doted on by her, and another live drama of women doting on men was staged after Wu Zetian.
There are different opinions about the harem sexual life of Empress Dowager Cixi in unofficial history, but they all revolve around one center-the bohemian and promiscuous harem of Empress Dowager Cixi.
Some people think that Empress Dowager Cixi began to have an affair with Prince Gong when she first entered the palace as a maid, and often went out to have an affair with Prince Gong when other maids were not paying attention. Because of this, some people even have doubts about the identity of the Tongzhi emperor. They believe that the Tongzhi emperor is not the biological son of Emperor Xianfeng, but the Empress Dowager Cixi and Yi? The crystallization of adultery. This view has certain credibility. If there is no relationship between Empress Dowager Cixi and Prince Gong, then after the death of Emperor Xianfeng, Prince Gong will not be able to help Empress Dowager Cixi eradicate dissidents, let alone sit idly by and listen to her politics.
If the relationship between Empress Dowager Cixi and Prince Gong is only furtive, then after her regime was stabilized, she began to openly vent her selfish desires on men. The first person she caught was her first lover, Rong Lu. According to unofficial history's records, Cixi was a famous local beauty before she entered the palace. Local villains have long coveted her, so she tried to rape Empress Dowager Cixi when she went out alone. Yung Yung happened to pass by, driving away the villains and rescuing Empress Dowager Cixi from the abuse of these villains. Since then, their feelings have rapidly warmed up and they have always maintained an ambiguous relationship. Even after Empress Dowager Cixi entered the palace, they often had fornication. After Empress Dowager Cixi listened to politics, she exposed their relationship to the public, which can be seen from the rise of Rong Lu after Empress Dowager Cixi listened to politics.
Rong Lu was only the first public pet man after Empress Dowager Cixi listened to politics. In addition, there are many other unknown men who are loved by Empress Dowager Cixi. According to folk rumors, Empress Dowager Cixi is not only easy? And Rong Lu they also had an affair with eunuchs An Dehai and Li You at that time. Although eunuchs have little physical strength, they can bring psychological comfort and stimulation to Empress Dowager Cixi. Because these two people are good at catering to Empress Dowager Cixi in this respect, they have been favored by Empress Dowager Cixi, which can be seen from Empress Dowager Cixi's many knighthoods and rewards to Li. In addition, there is an affair about Empress Dowager Cixi written by Qing people: In the eighth year of Guangxu, an antique dealer named Bai met Empress Dowager Cixi under the introduction of Li. Empress Dowager Cixi was impressed by his handsome appearance and beautiful conversation, and stayed in her bedroom that night. It took more than a month to let the antique dealer out. In addition to the story recorded in Smelling the Dust, there is also a legend about the love affair of Empress Dowager Cixi, which is widely circulated among the people. It is said that Empress Dowager Cixi likes to eat soup from Jinhua Restaurant and sends people to buy it every day. Li is familiar with the stones in Jinhua Restaurant and often takes him into the palace to play. According to the past practice of the Qing court, it was beheaded to bring outsiders into the palace without permission, but Empress Dowager Cixi saw this man named Shi.
Most of these things about Empress Dowager Cixi come from some records in unofficial history, and it is difficult to draw a clear conclusion on its reliability. But in fact, even if it is true, it is extremely impossible to be included in the official history, because these official histories are generally circulated with the prior approval of the ruling class. On the other hand, it is normal for Empress Dowager Cixi to have such an affair. After all, it's hard to believe that a beautiful young woman who was widowed at the age of 26 showed no signs of cheating.
There is a pianist named Zhang Chunpu in Beijing Liulichang who plays the piano for a living. He is straightforward and unpretentious, with superb piano skills and excellent reputation among literati. Cixi has nothing to do but learn the piano. Hearing Zhang Chunpu's reputation, she called him into the palace to play the piano. It is said that the place to play the piano is in the west wing of the bedroom. There are seven main rooms, and Cixi sits in the westernmost room, which is very close to the west wing. Zhang Chunpu made an appointment with the eunuch when he was summoned. He can't play on his knees. He must sit down to play well. The eunuch made a promise that he was not allowed to face Cixi.
There are seven or eight pianos in the west wing, all of which are golden strings and jade axes, which are extremely luxurious. Zhang Chunpu's audition is out of date. Then I heard Cixi say, "You can take my usual piano and let him play." The eunuch was ordered to bring it to Zhang Chunpu. Zhang Chunpu lowered his finger, feeling the sound very clear, and repeatedly praised: "Good piano, good piano." Zhang Chunpu played a song and had a rest. Suddenly I saw some people wearing wet nurse's clothes, with a child of about ten years old, and their clothes were extremely gorgeous. Children will play with their fingers when they see the piano. Zhang Chunpu stopped and said, "This is Lafayette's. You can't touch it. " The child stared at him. A woman next to her scolded Zhang Chunpu: "You know who he is. Lafaille always depends on him. Don't you dare stop him You don't want to have a head! " Zhang Chunpu stopped talking.
On this day, after Zhang Chunpu left the palace, Cixi later declared that she would rather die than go. Zhang Chunpu is a man with lofty ideals. Because he is poor, he works as a servant in a factory. His piano playing is famous among officials and ministers. Empress Dowager Cixi ordered the eunuch to take a message on the same day:
"If you worship with your heart, you will receive an official for you in the future and be sent to the internal affairs office, not afraid of wealth." However, Zhang Chunpu disappeared from the palace after seeing his young son. Asked by his peers, Zhang Chunpu said, "I don't envy such filth and wealth."
When King Su heard about Zhang Chunpu's reputation, he called him to his mansion to play the piano and gave him a monthly salary of 30 gold, so he got used to going out early and returning late. Zhang Chunpu felt that the bondage was not free, but there was no good way to get rid of it. One night it rained, and Su Wang said, "Don't go back, just stay here." Zhang Chunpu refused, and Wang Su repeatedly asked him to stay. Zhang Chunpu said, "The boss doesn't know that I live here, and he thinks I'm a prostitute." King Su was angry, expelled him and never called him into the palace again. Zhang Chunpu happily thought it was a good idea.
A noble lady once asked Zhang Chunpu to teach piano. Zhang Chunpu came in the afternoon, played a song and left without touching his lips. Later, Zhang Chunpu died of poverty because of his introduction.
In fact, there were many maverick strange people in the late Qing Dynasty. Zhang Chunpu was not killed because he disobeyed the imperial edict of Cixi or angered the king. It is unimaginable to put it in other dynasties.
After the middle period of Guangxu, Cixi suddenly fell in love with calligraphy, learned to draw flowers, learned to write calligraphy, and often wrote the word "Fushou" for her luck. But my handwriting is not very good. If I want to find a ghostwriter, I will ask the provincial governors to pay attention. There was an official Miao family in Sichuan. Her husband was an official in Sichuan and died in the office. Miao made flowers and birds, played the piano and wrote small letters, so she was sent to Beijing. Cixi was overjoyed when she summoned for the interview, so she stayed with her all the time to avoid her bowing down. She received a salary of 200 gold a month and donated the position of cabinet minister for her son. Miao's paintings and calligraphy are full of charm. Naturally, the flowers, fan shafts and other things that the minister's family enjoyed from Cixi afterwards were all written by Miao.
A few days before Cixi's 60th birthday, she suddenly asked Miao: "Have you seen the wedding clothes and makeup of Manchu women?" I haven't seen what you China women wear when you get married? " Miao said, "This is the official robe." Cixi said: "On the day of the celebration, you should put on the crown robe as my guest." The next day, Miao bought a feather coat and put it on. Cixi couldn't help laughing and said that she looked like a person in a drama. On Cixi's birthday, all Manchu women entered the palace and burst into laughter when they saw Miao's clothes. Cixi was very happy that day, and the Miao family was tied to the phoenix crown and stood all day, which was terrible. It is estimated that she will never want to wear any unlucky rockhopper robes in her next life.
Legend has it that Empress Dowager Cixi owns Toy Boy just as Empress Wu Zetian owns Xue Huaiyi and Zhang Changzong. In the Qing Dynasty's Wen Chen Ji, it was said: In the spring of Guangxu eight years, there was an antique dealer named Bai in Liulichang. After Li introduced him, he was fortunate to be Cixi. Cixi was forty-six years old. Bai was released after living in the palace for more than a month. Soon, Cixi became pregnant, and Empress Dowager Ci 'an was furious. She called the Minister of Rites and asked about the ceremony after the abolition. The minister of rites said, "This cannot be done. May my queen mother preserve her sanity. " That night, Cian died suddenly.
According to unofficial history's records, Cixi's soup and fruit are delicious. Every morning, she sends someone to the palace gate to buy four soups and fruits, and the waiter of Jinhua Restaurant sends someone to deliver them. There is a young man named Shi in Jinhua Hotel. He is well-proportioned and handsome. Shimou met Li and was often taken to the palace by Li to play. One day, Cixi suddenly found a handsome boy standing next to Li and asked who Li was. Li was very scared, because bringing outsiders into the palace seriously violated the palace ban, but he was afraid to lie, so he had to tell the truth. Cixi didn't show anger, just a little excited. She left Shimou in the palace to "commit adultery day and night" and gave birth to Guangxu a year later. Cixi did not dare to keep it in the palace, so she ordered Prince Chun to keep it for her, and then let Shimou keep silent. Guangxu was a generation lower than Tongzhi, and Cixi violated the routine of setting up a son instead of a younger brother, perhaps because Guangxu was her own son.
There are rumors that Cixi had an affair with eunuchs An Dehai and Li, and there is insufficient evidence in the history books. Before Li entered the palace, because of his poor family, he sold nitrosulfonic acid privately, nicknamed Pinitroli. Arrested and imprisoned after selling nitrosulfonic acid. After he got out of prison, he made a living by repairing shoes. Seeing his pity, his good friend introduced him to the palace as a eunuch. Li, known as "Xiao Li", won Nora's admiration for her beautiful combing skills. His duty room is not far from the residence of the western empress dowager. Sometimes, when Empress Dowager Cixi visited his room, Li wrapped all the eight chairs that Empress Dowager Cixi sat in with yellow cloth. The Western Empress Dowager really praised him for his loyalty and carefulness, and trusted him more and more.
In the last years of Kangxi, it was stipulated that eunuchs had the highest five grades and the lowest eight grades. After seven years of Qianlong, it was changed to "no more than four products, and it will always be a written law". When Cixi was in power, she broke the ancestral system and gave Li Wei the second prize. Over the years, Cixi has always liked Li Juan. They often stay together and sit together to watch operas. Whenever Li likes to eat, Cixi stays in the dining hall to feed him. Li is extremely intelligent, considerate and kind to others. He is not as arrogant as Andrew, so he can get a happy ending.
However, even if there is an ambiguous relationship between Hai, Li and Cixi, there can be no real sexual relationship. Because if they are not clean, it is false eunuch, and it is impossible to deceive everyone. The inspection of eunuchs in Qing Dynasty was particularly strict. After becoming eunuchs, they must undergo a physical examination in the drug rehabilitation department every other year.
Cixi loved pearls, agates, precious stones, jade articles and gold and silver utensils before her death, and the treasures buried in the coffin after her death were worth as much as 120 million silver. 1June, 928, Sun Dianying, a warlord in Henan province, nicknamed Sun Ma, went straight for the Qing Dongling in the name of beating bandits. Engineers blasted the tomb, blasted the King Kong wall at the entrance of Empress Dowager Cixi downstairs, opened the passage to the underground palace, and knocked down the stone gate before entering the tomb.
At the bottom of Cixi's coffin, there is a brocade mattress woven with gold thread, which is seven inches thick. There are more than 0/0000 pearls, 85 rubies and more than 200 white jade. There is a silk mattress embroidered with lotus flowers on the brocade mattress, which is covered with 2400 pearls weighing five points. Cixi's body is covered with a Toni quilt made of gold, with a bright yellow satin bottom and twisted gold. It is made up of 25,000 Chinese characters of Dalagni scriptures and more than 800 pearls. There are countless pearls and precious stones embedded in the rockhopper on the head, of which only one pearl is worth about10 to 20 million silver.
There are countless large treasures around the body, such as the Nine Linglong Pagoda, Jade Buddha, Jade Watermelon, Chinese Cabbage, Ruby, Emerald, Jade, Red Coral Tree, Moyu Mustard and so on, and their whereabouts are unknown. Empress Dowager Cixi's teeth were pried open, and the luminous pearl in her mouth was two transparent and dull pearls when separated, and a round pearl when closed, emitting green cold light, which was very clear within a hundred steps at night.
