A book said that Xianfeng ignored the lost land, paid compensation, and the country was in danger. He hid in the Jehol Palace to express his feelings, chat with himself and anesthetize himself. He has what China women call the "Four Springs": Peony Spring, Begonia Spring, Apricot Spring and Datura Spring, and plays together in the garden all day. In addition, there is a "spring of heaven and earth" that he loves very much, and that is Cixi.

It turned out that Cixi saw him with Sichun all day, jealous and quarreling with Xianfeng. Xianfeng, who dotes on Cixi, was helpless and gave it to Cixi as "a spring between heaven and earth", meaning that you are the greatest spring between heaven and earth! Cixi is very satisfied with this.

And unofficial history said Xianfeng raised a folk widow. Unofficial history Souwen records that Xianfeng fell in love with a beautiful, enchanting and charming widow-Shanxi Cao Shi. After entering the palace, Xianfeng was the most attached. There is a similar record in unofficial history: "Cao Shi, a widow of Shanxi nationality, is beautiful and has small feet, and likes to compose shoes with pearls." Emperor Xianfeng loved him the most when he was called into the palace.

During the Xianfeng period, the Taiping Army and the Nian Army fought for years, so Emperor Xianfeng had to pay attention to the affairs of North Korea. Look at what he said about people's feelings and military intelligence:

Ask Zhang: "What do the seven widows of Huguang School look like? Why can a woman get together and make such a big deal? "

"I heard that Fujian folk family fights, I don't know how lively it is? How many people died? How much is the compensation for the deceased? "

When Duan Guangqing was summoned, it happened that the governor of Zhejiang reported that Yuyao tenant farmers had resisted renting, gathered people into the city and burned down the house of the bully Shao Wu. Emperor Xianfeng asked Duan Guangqing if he knew about it, but Duan Guangqing didn't want to elaborate. He only said that the main tenant had an argument. As for fighting, it's just bandits and the like.

Emperor Xianfeng was nervous when he heard about bandits. He quickly asked: "Is it bad for bandits? Will it make a big noise? Can magistrate of a county eradicate these bandits? " Duan Guangqing replied that the magistrate of a county could suppress bandits, and Xianfeng's mood eased.

Xianfeng likes to ask whether officials and officers and soldiers look close to men and women. Once he asked Zhang, "Are all the beautiful guys in Shengbao tent?" Does Xiang Rong know that Jiangbei soldiers dare to raise women privately and refuse to fight? "

Although most of Emperor Xianfeng's questions were out of curiosity, he asked whether generals and sergeants were good at femininity and masculinity, which may reflect his inner world.
