(A woman who speaks of history-Issue 1091)
Emperor Tongzhi’s Empress Atru, in the history of the Qing Dynasty, and even in ancient Chinese history, is generally regarded as an extremely sad queen.
The so-called compassion is nothing more than a huge contrast, which is mainly manifested in her own qualifications and the environment, the confrontation between her virtuous conduct and her mother-in-law Cixi, her youth and her husband’s early childhood Pass away, wait.
In short, various factors finally gathered in one place, forming her tragic life.
But there is a saying in China that a poor person must be hateful.
If you slightly modify this sentence and put it on Empress Atru, Xiaozheyi, then there must be something that can be sympathized with.
Some people are sympathized because they are indeed unable to change some kind of destiny teasing, causing tragedy. Some people are sympathized because they are still unable to change their destiny and opportunities even after exhausting their efforts. But this is not the case with Atru's.
Empress Xiaozheyi, the empress of Tongzhi, her tragedy cannot be separated from her sharp confrontation with her mother-in-law, Empress Dowager Cixi. She challenged Empress Dowager Cixi the most severely twice in her life: once, she hit Cixi’s biggest weakness and made her murderous. Another time was even more mean, surpassing the limit of Empress Dowager Cixi, making Cixi gritted her teeth.
For the first challenge, Empress Xiaozheyi is marrying Cixi's heart with her Ming media.
The situation of this challenge is like this: After Xiaozheyi Empress Atru's married into the royal family, her performance cannot be said to be bad, but it is a bit polarized. We all know that the giants are as deep as the sea, not to mention the imperials, their situation is complex.
Xiaozheyi Empress Atru's thought that she would do herself well. But the matter of the royal family, how could it be so simple. She behaves herself well, looks dignified, well-versed in poems and poems, knowing the book and courtesy, but easily won the heart of her husband Tongzhi.
However, the opposite sex attracts and the same sex repels. What's more, the discord between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is a world-wide problem. You may not be able to solve it with care. You still take a posture as soon as you enter the door. Naturally, Empress Dowager Cixi is unwilling to do it now. Posture, what will happen in the future? Therefore, the Empress Dowager Cixi, who was originally strong and didn't like her, immediately gave her a slap in the face, and when she came to Ann, she had nothing to do with her.
This kind of reprimand, even the girls around the Queen Xiaozheyi Atru, can see that the reprimand is a gesture, not what Atru is really doing wrong. Therefore, seeing that the master has been reprimanded too much, I can't bear it. Of course, it is better for a slave to not want the master.
Therefore, the little girls in the film gave the Queen Atluh an idea. According to our observations, this mother-in-law Empress Cixi is actually very easy to deal with. Just say something nice and obedient, and do something nice She was done with the matter, which would also help the stability of the master’s queen.
But, who would have thought that although the queen Atruh knows poetry and prose, but in terms of human relations and sophistication, she is elusive and insensitive. Instead, she began to speak in a mellow manner:
"Respect Zeke, 䁥 (ni ) No, I am instructed by the ancestors of heaven and earth to welcome those who enter the Daqing Gate, and I cannot easily shake them."
Queen Xiaozheyi said "the one who welcomes the Daqing Gate", which is for herself It may be the supreme glory, but for her mother-in-law, Empress Dowager Cixi, that is the biggest weakness in her life. Why? It turned out that Empress Dowager Cixi looked so arrogant now, but when she first entered the palace, she didn't come in gracefully, but came to the palace by drafting women.
put it plainly, which means that although the empress dowager Cixi was favored later, she was not the daughter-in-law of Emperor Xianfeng who was married by the Ming media through normal marriage. For any woman, a marriage without a wedding has eternal regrets, and it can even become a kind of weakness and pain that others cannot touch. Empress Dowager Cixi's taboo on this can be imagined.
Of course, the brainless daughter-in-law Atru's, she couldn't speak her brain. She scratched such a paw in the "private zone" of Empress Dowager Cixi's heart. The result was bloody, that of Empress Dowager Cixi.I can stand it. When the words were passed to the Empress Dowager Cixi, Empress Dowager Cixi expressed deep anger at her daughter-in-law's disrespectful behavior, thinking it was deliberately revealing her scars and shortcomings and making fun of her behind the scenes. It's not bad, the Empress Dowager Cixi snorted coldly, and her heart suddenly became murderous. Even if this black account is written down, Shi Zai said that Empress Dowager Cixi's performance at the time was:
"It is even more gnawing and hating, because there is death. The heart is full."
A thoughtless sentence from Atru's made the Empress Dowager Cixi actually have the intent to kill her. It can be seen that the words from the mouth are really unstoppable lessons.
The second challenge: Empress Xiaozheyi contrasted Cixi's lust with her high profile.
Empress Xiaozheyi Atru's family seems to know very little about her mother-in-law, Empress Dowager Cixi. Ordinarily, her father, who was born as a champion, was also in the officialdom. It is quite clear about the influence and unpredictable methods of the Empress Dowager Cixi in the court. Now her daughter is going to be the daughter-in-law of Empress Cixi. It is not necessary to explain clearly in advance: If you want to have a good life, you must first serve your mother-in-law. Even if your mother-in-law is unsatisfactory, you must make compromises, bend and stretch.
However, Empress Xiaozheyi's performance after the Atru clan married into the royal family is obviously not taught by her father, or this girl is too capricious and her parents have taught her and she is unwilling to execute. After all, it is a twisted character.
For example, there are such opportunities, Empress Dowager Cixi likes to be lively, especially to the theater.
But the Empress Dowager Cixi always needs someone to accompany her to watch the show. The concubines in this palace are all vying to go. However, Empress Dowager Cixi sent someone to invite Empress Xiaozheyi, Atru, to see. Atru, the Atru came, but when he watched the show, he immediately became abnormal.
The reason is that the drama watched by the Empress Dowager Cixi is more grounded, and the drama is full of the original flavor of life, so some keywords are sung directly without processing.
From the perspective of today's people, this is nothing, it's just that life has become a little bit more real, and it's just a real and amused look at the picture. But at that time, for the Atrus who received traditional education, this was a terrible thing. When she saw that there was a drama that needed to be mosaic, she immediately turned to face the wall behind.
The Empress Dowager Cixi has already seen so many things, so she laughed at her pedantic daughter-in-law at first, so she got used to it if she wanted to see more. It made him look back at the show, but the Empress Dowager Cixi said it several times, but Atru's did not look back. This made the Empress Dowager Cixi faceless.
Atru's performance seems to be disobedient on the surface, but the core point is that the Empress Dowager Cixi likes lewd pleasure and has low taste.
This made the Empress Dowager Cixi extremely angry. Historical records:
"(Empress Xiaozheyi) played a dirty drama, but looked back to the wall and didn't want to watch. Cixi was tired of telling it and refused to comply, (Cixi) hated it. ”
Ending:
No wonder Queen Xiaozheyi died so miserably. Look at her two challenges to Cixi, every time she is tearing away Cixi The bottom line to make Cixi crazy. These two incidents more prominently reflected the incomparable contradiction between the Empress Dowager Cixi and her daughter-in-law, which caused the Empress Dowager Cixi to plant the seeds of hatred in her heart, so that afterwards she even brutally beat the Atru family and even her son. Emperor Tongzhi was also incompatible after his death, so he wanted to get rid of this uncomfortable thorn in his eyes.
Objectively speaking, the tragic fate of Empress Xiaozheyi Atru's was caused by her own character. She used her own hand to push herself from an inherently disadvantaged situation to life and death. After the death of her husband, Emperor Tongzhi, she took a step back and looked at it. Even if the Empress Dowager Cixi did not plan her death, she herself experienced the desperate "being embarrassed on all sides". Only death is the best ending.
