11-15th November, the last day in the world of Empress Dowager Cixi, the last person in the Qing Dynasty, was the last day in the world. The day before, the 38-year-old Emperor Guangxu died. After calmly handling Guangxu's funeral, he swallowed in the afternoon without any warning.
House Affairs Office quickly arranged the funeral of Lord Lafayette. According to the previous process, Lord Lafayette died and quickly stuffed her a priceless Night Pearl into her mouth. for 48 years in power, Cixi probably didn't expect that she would go underground with him the day after Emperor Guangxu's death.
Luxury burial objects
The most beloved eunuch Li Lianying buried her with her own hands and put a large number of treasures into her coffin. Big watermelon made of jade, grasshopper cabbage that attracts wealth and blessings, as well as large treasures such as jade lotus, coral tree , etc., are placed around her body and under her body.
Unfortunately, all these things were taken away by the robber Sun Dianying . Sun Dianying was shocked when he opened Cixi's coffin. Her Father's face was fresh, as if she was asleep. He knew that the night pearl in her mouth was the one that kept Cixi from her body from rotting.
This gem exudes a cold green light, which is very dazzling. Even if you are a hundred steps away, you can see people's hair when you hold it.
Later, Sun Dianying robbed the tomb and caused dissatisfaction among many people. In order to save his life, he sent some of these treasures to various nobles to clear the relationship. Ye Mingzhu was sent to the hands of Chiang Kai-shek Lady Soong Mei-ling , hoping that she could say good things to herself in front of Chiang Kai-shek and avoid punishment.
After Soong Mei-ling got it, she sewed the precious thing that the Empress Dowager once held in her mouth to the shoes . It's really ironic.
The Death of Guangxu
Cixi never expected that the aftermath she carefully arranged for herself would be destroyed like this. Then did she know that she would die on the second day after Emperor Guangxu died? This question has to be mentioned the mystery of the cause of Emperor Guangxu’s death.
Guangxu was dead at 6:30 pm on November 14, 1908. The Qing court said that he died of illness.
The imperial physician who diagnosed the disease in Guangxu has always recorded his condition. According to his diagnosis, Guangxu's death was terminally ill. It was only a matter of time.
But the most widely circulated saying among the people is that was poisoned by Cixi or Yuan Shikai . After the Qing Xiling was stolen for many years, archaeological experts sorted out the interior of the mausoleum and also detected the remains of Guangxu. confirmed that his body contained excessive arsenic.
st fact of Guangxu being poisoned, but it is not clear whether the poison was given by Cixi or Yuan Shikai. Of course, the possibility of Cixi taking poison is greater. Yuan Shikai only pursues glory and wealth. He has no courage and no need to kill the emperor.
. Cixi knew that her deadline was approaching, didn't want the disobedient Guangxu to do something extraordinary after her death, so she decided to let him die before him. Therefore, Cixi is likely to feel that she is leaving, but she definitely doesn't know which day she will.
Arrange the funeral afterwards
and Guangxu died one after the other, and the interval between the two does not exceed 20 hours, which can only be a coincidence.
When the eunuch came to report the death of Emperor Cixi, she was very calm and immediately began to arrange her funeral. These funerals were arranged for Guangxu and for herself.
Although Cixi lives a luxurious life and loves new things, she is actually very busy every day. Every morning before dawn, she had to get up and go to court to handle state affairs.In the late Qing Dynasty, there were turmoil in the country and various peasant uprisings; foreign powers were staring at China and wanted to divide this piece of fat, and Cixi had no time to relax.
In addition, she also wants to fight with Guangxu, for fear that he will find a few more Tan Sitong People like Liang Qichao are going to carry out emerging reforms and destroy her rule. It is really a tense state that the nerves are always tense.
When Cixi decided to poison Guangxu, she had already thought about the candidate for the new emperor. It was still to pick people from Prince Chun’s mansion. This time she valued Zaifeng eldest son Puyi . Puyi was only two years old and could fully control it, but Zaifeng let him be the regent himself.
When the emperor has it, Cixi gave another order, and women are not allowed to interfere in politics in the future. After working for a lifetime of politics, Cixi indirectly admitted the negative impact of her interference in politics before her death.
Just like that, Xiao Puyi was ordered to enter the palace and started his first half of his life in the puppet emperor. After the arrangement of
, Cixi felt that today should be the last day of her life. She did not have any fear of death, but took out the night pearl that she had treasured for a long time and waited on the side, waiting for the deadline to come.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Cixi basically had only breath but not in. Everyone who was preparing to arrange her funeral was kneeling beside her, waiting to listen to her final instruction. At 2:45, she closed her eyes safely in the Yiluan Hall of Xiyuan.
Li Lianying accompanied her to the end and immediately cleaned up her face. put Ye Mingzhu into her mouth as soon as possible.
The emperor and the empress dowager died one after another within 24 hours, which is a coincidence that unprecedented people have never come. Cixi could not have calculated so clearly that Guangxu only gave her half a day to deal with the funeral. If she wanted to be superstitious, it was Guangxu's unjust soul waiting for her to set off together.
