With his wit and cleverness, he became the closest favorite of Cixi, so that Lafayette broke the ancestral system that eunuchs lived in four official positions at most, and gave Li a second top hat, which made him climb to the peak of power as a slave.
1966, people once opened Li's grave, and people did find many treasures in his grave, such as a treasure ball the size of table tennis, a gold cigarette tray and countless pearls, emeralds, agates and other treasures. Surprisingly, there was no body in his coffin except a head and a long braid.
At that time, the mausoleum covered an area of about 20 mu, extending from south to north. The northernmost part of the cemetery is a Jinshui Bridge, and from the bridge to the north is the most imposing white marble archway in the whole cemetery.
There is a plaque on this archway, which reads "Tomb of General Manager Li". The first inscription on the archway is "Breeze" and the second inscription is "Sendai Vaguely". There is also a pair of couplets on the two pillars: light in the secluded place? , Dazhong consolidates the future.
In fact, how did Li die? Nobody knows why. But with the excavation of its cemetery, we can at least infer that Li, who has only a skull but no body, can't have died of illness. The only reason is that he may have died of homicide.
Among the people, there are many stories about the death of Li. Legend has it that he died at the hands of the revolutionary party. Because Li died in the Revolution of 1911. In addition, there are rumors that Li was killed by an enemy in the palace, and some people say that he was killed on the way to Shandong to collect debts.
But Li's stepdaughter said that her grandfather died of dysentery and died suddenly after three or four days of illness. However, some experts doubt this explanation, because according to191March 4th, it is the early spring season, and dysentery in this season is puzzling.
However, some people think that Li went to Shandong at that time, not to collect debts, but to visit his grandniece. At that time, one of his granddaughters married in Wudi County, Shandong Province. It was in the process of visiting her granddaughter in Shandong that she was killed by gangsters. At that time, two of his entourage were terrified out of their wits, so they simply carried his head back to Beijing with a bag and buried it.
In addition to these statements, there are many folk statements, but none of them can be verified. Up to now, his death is still an unsolved mystery of Li.
History always covers up part of the truth, and I believe that the truth will reappear in the world in the near future.
