Eunuch Li Lianying was a great celebrity in the late Qing Dynasty. He accompanied the Empress Dowager Cixi for fifty-three years. Empress Dowager Cixi loved him to the extreme. Even when she was fleeing, she was accompanied by Li Lianying. In her award, Empress Dowager Cixi also broke the royal ancestral system of "eunuch grade limited to four grades", and named Li Lianying as the chief eunuch of the second grade.
Li Lianying was originally named Li Jinxi. She was born in a poor peasant's house in 1848. For his livelihood, his father castrated him to the palace as a eunuch when he was only 8 years old. Because Li Lianying would comb her new haircut, she was chosen by Cixi to become a combing eunuch next to her. Later, with cleverness and sleekness, Li Lianying went deep into the favor of the empress dowager Cixi, possessing power under one person and over ten thousand people. , The scenery is infinite.
In 1908, Cixi died in the Hall of Yiluan, Li Lianying also actively handled the affairs for Cixi. After guarding the spirit for a year, the 61-year-old Li Lianying took the initiative to hand over her property and left the palace.
He and ordinary demobilized eunuchs chose to enter the temple as a place for retirement. Li Lianying bought real estate in Beijing Mianhua Hutong very early. Therefore, after he left the palace, So she lived in seclusion, thanked guests behind closed doors, and lived a life of eating fast and reciting Buddha.
However, only three years later, Li Lianying passed away. Although her family said at her funeral that Li Lianying died of dysentery, there are different opinions about Li Lianying's death.
Some people said that he was killed, and some even said that he died at the hands of the Revolutionary Party, because the Empress Dowager Cixi was the chief culprit in suppressing the Reform Movement of 1898, and his "horse" Li Lianying became the object of the Revolutionary Party to vent its anger.
Some people say that Li Lianying is full of enemies in North Korea, and many people want to kill him, so Li Lianying is very likely to die in the hands of enemies in the palace.
Of course, with Li Lianying's sleek and sophisticated, not many enemies are offended. Therefore, how he died has been arguing.
However, 55 years later, in 1966, Li Lianying's death caused an uproar. At that time, students inadvertently dug an ancient tomb next to the "Six Day" school in Haidian District, Beijing. Archaeologists rushed to the rescue excavation. It took a week for everyone to dig a small hole. Everyone felt cold at the gap, because it turned out to be granite and couldn't dig it down.
It turns out that Li Linying’s tomb is different from others’ tombs. Legend has it that the outer layer of Li Linying's tomb was built with yellow muddy sand, egg white and glutinous rice soup. When the tomb was repaired, the eggs from dozens of villages nearby were scoured. The yolks were everywhere. The people nearby ate too much because of the eggs. Later, when they saw them, they wanted to vomit.
Of course, it takes a lot of trouble to excavate such a tomb. Later, after a local experienced old man gave a point, the archaeological team searched for a new entrance. After some setbacks, they finally found the door of the tomb. After that, they successfully entered the tomb underground palace.
After opening the golden rosewood coffin inside, everyone was shocked again. It turned out that when a large number of gold and silver jewelry were found in Li Lianying's coffin, it was found that there was only one long-rotten skull inside. Although the rest was humanoid, it was stuffed with cotton stuffed inside. There was no bone in the clothes. After
, the experts conducted a careful investigation and found that there was no trace of damage in the tomb. Obviously, it had not been stolen by tomb robbers. Therefore, there were only skulls and no bodies in the coffin, which was obviously the case when it was buried. Experts analyzed and judged based on the tragic situation of the corpse in the tomb and came to the conclusion that Li Lianying was killed by it.
As for where he died, it is unknown.
Later, Li Lianying's granddaughter once said that Li Lianying was cut off on the way to collect debts, and the servant who was accompanying him wrapped Li Lianying's head with clothes and brought him back to Beijing.
Of course, this statement has not yet been recognized by the historians. therefore, Li Lianying's head is still a mystery.
After Li Lianying's cemetery was excavated, his burial objects were handed over to the country, but his head was randomly discarded. According to legend, the local students used his head as a football to kick him, and then he was thrown into the toilet of the school toilet. He was eventually flushed into the sewer and disappeared.
The dignified second-ranking member of the Manchu Qing Dynasty ended up with a head and no body. Is such a tragic ending a causal reincarnation, full of evil retribution?
