Empress Xiaozhenxian, Niu Colu, the queen of Emperor Xianfeng. The fastest queen in the Qing Dynasty In 1852, Niu Colu entered the imperial palace through the draft. On April 27, he was conferred as Zhen Lai; in June, he was promoted as the queen. That year, Niu Colu was 15 years old and Emperor Xianfeng was 21 years old. The 15-year-old little girl, relying on her emotional intelligence and wisdom, won the favor of Emperor Xianfeng and the trust of Emperor Xianfeng, and was promoted from Zhenlai to Queen. It took only 3 months for Empress Xiaozhenxian to enter the palace to the queen, and she can definitely be called the fastest queen in Jinfeng. In July 1861, Emperor Xianfeng died and Empress Xiaozhen was 24 years old. Emperor Tongzhi came to the throne, and the Emperor Xiaozhenxian was honored as Empress Dowager Ci'an and "Queen Empress Dowager"; the birth mother of Emperor Tongzhi was called Empress Dowager Cixi and "Mother Queen Mother".
The two queen mothers listen to politics in the Hall of Nourishment. When Empress Xiaozhenxian became Empress Cixi's "eye thorn" on his deathbed, Emperor Xianfeng specifically reminded three things. One of them is to grant Empress Niu's "Imperial Reward" seal, which represents her maternal power. Because the Empress Dowager Ci'an has the supreme power, and the Empress Dowager Ci'an and Empress Dowager Cixi have the difference between a concubine and a concubine. Only when the Empress Dowager Ci'an let go, Empress Dowager Cixi has the opportunity to deal with it. For the Empress Dowager Cixi, the desire for power is extremely strong, and she is particularly good at playing power. The Empress Dowager Cian is certainly one of her obstacles. With the occurrence of two major events, the Empress Dowager Cixi regarded Empress Ci'an as a "nail in the eye." First, the confidant eunuch Andehai was killed. The empress dowager Cixi hated the Qing dynasty's ancestral system: eunuchs cannot easily get out of the palace, offenders must be killed!
Empress Dowager Cixi loves Eunuch An Dehai most. Relying on the love of the Empress Dowager Cixi, An Dehai is unscrupulous, lawless, and domineering. The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs hated An Dehai and gritted his teeth; the Emperor Tongzhi also hated him, but because of the Empress Dowager Cixi, he could not punish An Dehai. In August 1869, Andehai obtained permission from Empress Dowager Cixi to buy dragon clothes in Jiangnan. Along the way, An Dehai demanded bribes and collected money. While passing through Shandong, he was arrested and detained by the governor Ding Baozhen. Ding Baozhen reported the incident to the court. Empress Dowager Cixi hoped to bring Andehai back to Beijing; however, Empress Dowager Ci'an issued an edict: "Li Ming punish him." Ding Baozhen, governor of Shandong, received the court order and immediately rectified Andehai on the spot the next day. The proposition of the Queen Mother Cian was unanimously appreciated by the ruling and the opposition. Empress Dowager Cixi believed that Empress Dowager Ci'an deliberately weakened her strength, deprived her of power, and lowered her prestige. The empress dowager Cixi felt uncomfortable, but she had nowhere to vent, so she could only remember her hatred for the empress dowager Ci'an in her heart.
Second, the queen was enrolled, so that the empress dowager Cixi hated the empress dowager Ci'an even more. In 1872, the Emperor Tongzhi was 17 years old, and she should be married and set off. Chongqi's daughter, Arut, is kind, quiet, dignified, and intelligent, and her looks and morals are very superior. Empress Dowager Cian wants to enroll Arut as queen. Fengxiu's daughter, Fucha, is innocent, pretty, smart, and pure, with noble and elegant temperament and temperament. Empress Dowager Cixi liked it very much and wanted to make Fucha the queen. Both Empress Dowager Ci'an and Empress Cixi insisted on their own opinions, and the Emperor Tongzhi finally decided. Emperor Tongzhi decided to enroll Arut as his queen. The fight for queens caused the Empress Dowager Cixi to eat another sap. Empress Dowager Cixi felt that the Empress Dowager Ci'an was a thorn in her own eyes. If you don't get rid of this thorn in your eye, you will never be able to use it, you will always watch others winking, and you will always be stepped on by others. In the heart of Empress Dowager Cixi, Empress Dowager Ci'an must be eliminated, but it is necessary to consider how to eliminate it.
The Empress Dowager Cixi pretended to be obedient, exhausted her scheming, and finally realized her aspiration, and took power to dominate Emperor Xianfeng. The Emperor Xianfeng had long noticed that Cixi was working in a deliberate manner and was ambitious. Before she died, she specially asked the Queen Xiaozhen If Cixi was lawless, he would take out Zhu Yu and execute her according to the ancestral system. In order to warn, Empress Dowager Ci'an took Xianfeng Zhuyu to Empress Dowager Cixi. The young Empress Dowager Cixi is very fearful and meticulous in her words and deeds. Treat the Empress Dowager Ci'an meticulously and obediently. Because the Empress Dowager Cixi's disguise was too deep, the Empress Dowager Ci'an gradually ceased to be on guard. CixiThe Queen Mother is always planning how to get rid of her own thorns in order to achieve the summit of solitaire power. In 1880, Empress Dowager Cixi suddenly fell ill and was bedridden. I found a lot of famous doctors but it was not cured. The Queen Mother Cian handled all the affairs of the court, and this situation lasted for more than a year. On the morning of the ninth day of March 1881, Empress Dowager Ci'an summoned the Minister of Military and Aircraft, deployed government affairs, said and deeds, everything was normal, without any signs of illness.
After breakfast the next day, the Empress Dowager Ci'an felt cold and didn't want to drink water. Suddenly she fell ill, and her condition was abnormally rapid. The Minister of Military Aircraft was not summoned that day. At 8 o'clock in the evening, the Empress Dowager Ci'an unexpectedly died in anger. The Empress Dowager Cian's illness came so quickly, urgently, and fiercely that everyone was very surprised. Zuo Zongtang, who was the Minister of Military Aircraft at the time, learned that the Empress Dowager Ci'an suddenly died of illness. She thumped her chest and struck her feet. She was amazed: Yesterday morning, Empress Dowager Ci'an spoke loudly and clearly, and she couldn't see her illness! Even if it is a sudden illness, it won't be so fast! People carefully speculate that the cause of the death of the Empress Dowager Ci'an is only one possibility: the Empress Dowager Ci'an had been poisoned during the meal earlier. The Queen Mother Cian was poisoned to death. Empress Dowager Cixi immediately summoned relevant ministers to deal with the aftermath. In the middle of the night, Weng Tonghe received a notice.
Weng Tonghe entered the palace. Empress Dowager Cixi dictated the death of Empress Dowager Ci'an and ordered Weng Tonghe to record it. The princes and ministers of civil and military affairs who have been notified are all waiting in the palace. After dawn, the Empress Dowager Cixi made an order to let the princes and ministers enter the Zhongcui Palace, which was the bedroom of the Empress Dowager Ci'an. The eunuch took away the "face power" on the face of the Empress Dowager Ci'an, and the princes and ministers paid their respects in order. Empress Dowager Cixi stood aside, her posture and face were normal, and she could not see her illness. The records of the death of the Empress Dowager Ci'an that can be seen by later generations were all recorded by the Empress Dowager Cixi. After the death of Empress Dowager Ci'an, the supreme power of the Qing Dynasty was completely concentrated in the hands of Empress Dowager Cixi. So, what is the relationship between Cixi and Ci'an?
As we all know, Ci'an was born noble. According to the rule that the daughter of a courtier of the Manchu and Qing Dynasty can choose to enter the palace at the age of fourteen, Ci'an was elected at the age of fifteen during the Daoguang Reign. Xianfeng's side concubine, although her little Cixi was two years old, she has jumped into the world in less than a year since Xianfeng ascended the throne and became the queen of the harem, which shows her beautiful appearance and smart heart. Then, Cixi came on stage. Her birth history was rather vague. It must be inferior to Ci'an. Obviously, Cixi was not favored in Xianfeng. He stayed in the position of Langui for many years without being promoted, and was born with Tongzhi. Emperor Xianfeng also symbolically named him an imperial concubine. It can be seen that, in terms of identity or status, it is far from the same order of magnitude as Cixi.
Today, there is another kind of empathy, weak, thinking and stupid, but only committing to Cixi, and I am afraid that the IQ of the person who said this must be reassessed. It is that the two opponents are evenly matched and face each other. Regardless of the Xianfeng year, even if it was the Tongzhi year, Xianfeng once ruled that the ancestors of Nurhaci had ordered the descendants not to accept Yehenala clan. Ci Angui has been a queen for many years, and his relatives have been adored for many years. They are not evenly matched, let alone tit-for-tat. Why can't we talk about it? Secondly, we refer to scattered records in Qing history that Ci'an or Ci'an may hand over trivial affairs of the government to Cixi during the Tongzhi reign and Cixi killed the eight ministers after the death of the eight ministers. However, Ci'an was only kind-hearted.
On weekdays, the two people have no conflicts or hatreds, or even disputes. Ci'an is so affectionate and sexual, to say that the two of them did not have a sister relationship for so many years, and they did not believe in ghosts. Ci'an believed in Cixi, and for Cixi, her status was vain. The power she held in her hand was real. Why was it necessary? Regarding the cause of Cian’s death, scholar Xu Che cited "Weng Tonghe Diary" as evidence. After extensive social research, he found that Cian had suffered from liver disease at the age of 26 for 24 days, reaching the level of being unable to speak. Xu Che In order to learn more down-to-earth and seek truth from facts, he often conducts field inspections to verify. When we coordinate the above analysis, it is obvious that his words are more convincing compared to the wild history. Ci'an died of cardiovascular disease or stroke and cerebral hemorrhageSuch diseases, after all, she had old illnesses, and Cixi had no reason to harm her.
