After the fire, Taihe Gate was in ruins. Cixi made a decisive decision: the wedding was held as scheduled, and the queen had to cross the Taihe Gate and re-enter the harem. How to solve the problem of the queen entering the second gate, Cixi once again made a decision that surprised everyone: she actually ordered the color-tying craftsmen to set up a color shed in Taihe Gate day and night and put it on the fire! Finally, a Taihe Gate was built, so that people who have been walking in the palace for a long time can't tell the truth from the truth at once.
In the 15th year of Guangxu (1February 26th, 889), the 27th day of the first month was an auspicious day for the queen to enter the palace. At 3: 00 noon, it is an auspicious day to welcome the queen. Emperor Guangxu, wearing a pearl crown and a dragon robe, ascended to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, where officials of civil and military affairs knelt down and knocked nine times. The official of the Ministry of Rites read out the imperial edict granted to the Queen. After Emperor Guangxu returned to the palace, the welcoming envoy led the welcoming minister to Houdi to welcome the Queen into the palace. At the same time, Jin and Zhen were also welcomed into the harem by Shenwumen.
After the wedding, Yulong lived in Zhongcui Palace, one of the six palaces in the East Palace. However, Emperor Guangxu only favored Zhen Fei and had a bad relationship with Yulong. Empress Dowager Cixi chose her as the empress of Emperor Guangxu, hoping that her niece would monitor every move of Emperor Guangxu, so Emperor Guangxu was more prepared for her. Her beauty is not outstanding, and her character is soft and timid. As a queen, she was neither loved by Empress Dowager Cixi nor loved by Empress Dowager Cixi in the palace, and she didn't have much prestige to meet the princess maids on weekdays.
In the 26th year of Guangxu (1900), the queen fled to Xi 'an with Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu on the eve of the allied invasion of the Forbidden City.
In the 27th year of Guangxu (190 1), the group returned to the Forbidden City again. After Zhen Fei's death, the queen still fell out of favor. In the thirty-fourth year of Guangxu (1908), Emperor Guangxu died in the Hanyuan Temple in Yingtai, Nanhai. According to the wishes of Empress Dowager Cixi, Xuan Tong ascended the throne. According to the order of Emperor Xuan Tong, he was honored as the Jade Dragon Queen, known as the "concurrently queen mother", with the symbol of "Jade Dragon", and was called the Jade Dragon Queen in history. Xuan Tong was only three years old when he became king, so he was brought up by the Queen Mother. At the same time, Empress Yulong also obeyed the government, and Regent Zai Feng (Xuan Tong's father and brother of Emperor Guangxu) was in charge of the stormy Qing Dynasty.
Yulong is not good at buttering up others, so she doesn't have many cronies. Since she became the queen mother, she has made great efforts to disarm the country. Only then did she know that if she wanted to keep the throne of the Empress Dowager, she had to keep Puyi's throne, which required her to establish her own power, especially to unite her relatives and foreign ministers who held real power. Therefore, when Zai Feng decided to establish a ruling team, Yulong had to try to win over some ministers to prevent Zai Feng's excessive power from endangering his position. Jade Dragon wooed the Qing emperors Yi Kuang and Yi Kuang, who was favored by Empress Dowager Cixi and was awarded the title of the last iron hat in the Qing Dynasty. They have great influence in North Korea and decided to have a limited boycott with Yuan Shikai, who started from training. On one occasion, Zai Feng proposed to nominate Na Tong as a military affairs minister and asked Yulong for instructions. He didn't want Yulong to recommend Yuan Shikai's sworn brother Xu Shichang as a military affairs minister. Therefore, Zai Feng was angered. Although he also promised to let the two men serve as military ministers at the same time, he warned Yulong that only court affairs could be discussed by the queen mother. Don't bother with these specific government affairs. Zai Feng didn't say it, but Yulong knew it and told her not to be offside. After this time, Yulong, who has no real power, rarely directly intervened in Zai Feng affairs. She can only do her mother's duty for the young emperor, but she is overwhelmed by this country. In the second year of Xuantong (19 1 1 year1October), the Revolution of 1911 broke out. On February 6th, 65438, under the imperial edict of the Jade Dragon Queen, Zai Feng resigned as Regent. Yulong became the de facto supreme ruler and ultimate leader of the upcoming Qing Dynasty.
On February 7, 65438, Heng, then secretary of the Prime Minister's Office, recorded in his diary the conversation between Yulong and Yuan Shikai, the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, in hall of mental cultivation for 1 hour. Queen Yulong said, "I can't know everything. I will be full-time in the future." He also appointed Yuan Shikai as the plenipotentiary minister for peace, and entrusted Tang as the representative to hold peace talks with the southern provinces.
On February 28th, 65438, there were more and more calls for the abdication of the Qing Emperor all over the country. Yulong summoned Yi Kuang, Yuan Shikai and other princes and ministers of the Qing Dynasty, namely the Shang Kingdom. She finally said: "I met the green king and others, and they all said they had no idea." If they want to ask you, I will leave everything to you. I naturally appreciate your excellent work. I don't blame you even if it's not done well. The emperor is young now and will not blame you when he grows up. It was all my idea. " Here she burst into tears, and Yuan Shikai and other princes and ministers also cried together. After crying, Yulong further said, "I'm not talking about my family, as long as the world is safe." The general policy of the abdication of the Qing emperor has been initially determined.
10 On February 22nd, three years (19 12), it was reported in Shanghai Shenbao that 12 February, Yuan Shikai presented the abdication letter to Long in hall of mental cultivation. At this time, Prince Puyi, who opposed the abdication, personally invited and summoned him. The queen mother Yulong said, "His relatives are so corrupt that they want to obstruct the imperial edict. Where will they put my mother and son? " At this time, no matter who's noble, they were not allowed to enter, so they covered Yu Huang's case. "Still crying after the qing dynasty. When the Qing emperor stood in his arms, he saw it and cried. Yuan Shikai and all the state ministers also cried at the same time. "After the queen mother jade dragon abdicated, it was hard to let go, unhappy and eventually fell ill.
19 13, the "birthday" of Empress Yulong, met Liang Shiyi, the ambassador of Yuan Shikai, the great president of the Republic of China, and congratulated her with the courtesy of a foreign envoy. Most of the imperial clan ministers avoided and refused to join. There are only a few people in the temple who are too sad to get sick. He died in Changchun Palace on February 22nd of the same year at the age of 46. Puyi participated in posthumous title's "Filial Piety, Long Yukuan, Huishen Zhexie and Tianbao Shengjing Empress".
Yuan Shikai, then president of the Republic of China, immediately ordered the national flag to be lowered at half mast for three days, and the civil and military officials wore mourning clothes on the 27th. The Senate adjourned for one day on February 26th, except for the half-mast flag. February 28th is the mourning period. Not only that, Yuan Shikai personally put a black veil on his arm to mourn for the sacrifice. At that time, military and political officials called the Qing Palace in name only to express their condolences over the death of Yulong.
Subsequently, at the initiative of Senate President Wu Jinglian, the Chamber of Commerce was used as the organization office of the memorial service. All parts of the country responded to this call. In Changchun, Liaoyang, Fenghuang, Tieling, Yingkou and other places, rallies were held in memory of Yulong, and representatives from various factions went to Beijing to attend the memorial service. On 18 and 19, a national mourning meeting was held in front of Yamato Square, with as many as 50,000 people present. On March 9, 2009, the People's Government held a national mourning meeting in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. A white banner of "Yao Shun, a middle school girl" hangs above the mourning hall, and a statue of Yulong is placed in the middle of the mourning hall. All exposed beams and columns are wrapped in white cloth. The hall was filled with elegiac couplets and wreaths. The guard of honor, dressed in mourning clothes of the Qing Dynasty and modern military uniforms, stood left and right in front of the mourning hall.
The memorial meeting also decided to set up a bronze statue of Empress Dowager Cixi in recognition of her achievements. According to the major newspapers in the prison, after the death of Empress Yulong, the media were very sorry.
The ambassador to Beijing also expressed regret over the death of Queen Yulong. In addition to going to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to offer sacrifices, all embassies flew flags at half mast during the memorial service. As the "chongling" of Emperor Guangxu has not yet been completed, Zigong of Empress Yulong can only be "respectful and temporary". When moving, it was led by the honor guard of the Republic of China government and the military band, followed by Manchu traditional deacons: Men Ge, Qu Lv (Manchu transliteration, that is, Xiao Ge Qi), Yingge, Ming sedan chair, crank pholiota adiposa, eagle, dog, camel, executioner, tent and so on. It was carried to Qianmen Railway Station (West Railway Station) and transported to Lianggezhuang Palace in Yizhou City, Hebei Province by the special train used by Empress Dowager Cixi (namely, yellow pole, yellow cover, yellow rope, green lotus leaf hat with yellow pheasant feathers worn by the bartender, and yellow and white flags).
After the funeral of Empress Yulong, a framed print Chronicle of National Mourning was published in March 2000. In front of this book is the imperial shadow of the Jade Dragon Queen, with an imperial edict announcing the abdication of the Qing emperor. Followed by 12 photos of the memorial service inside and outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony. There are also condolences, elegies, ceremonies, eulogies, mourning songs, royal letters, foreign guests lists, staff and so on.
