Some readers left a message: Zhenfei was thrown into a well by the Empress Dowager Cixi and died. Was she wronged? What kind of hatred does she have with the Empress Dowager Cixi? According to historical records, the concubine Zhen was a Manchu inlaid with a red flag, and he was the daughter of Changxu, the right minister of Hubu. From a human point of view, the beautiful concubine Zhen was the most favored concubine of Emperor Guangxu. She was thrown into a well at the age of 25. This is indeed sympathetic.
After consulting the "Manuscripts of Qing History", there are only a few words about Zhen Fei, "Zhen Fei, inlaid with red flag, Manchuria, Ta Lashi. Born on the third day of February in the second year of Guangxu, he was the chief minister of the Ministry of Rites. Female." As for why the concubine Zhen was thrown into the well, the history books only recorded one sentence, "The concubine was favored by the emperor. In the twenty-sixth year of Guangxu, the emperor entered the capital, and the concubine was unable to follow the house and died in the palace. "The reason for
is really incomprehensible. If something goes wrong, there must be a demon. The death of Zhenfei is not as simple as everyone imagined. Concubine Zhen and Concubine Jin were married into the palace together. They grew up in Guangzhou with their uncle Changshan in their early years. Guangzhou was very open at the time, which gave Concubine Zhen the opportunity to get in touch with many new things.
In the fifteenth year of Guangxu (1889), the 13-year-old concubine Zhen and the 16-year-old concubine Jin were selected into the palace together. Concubine Zhen knows a lot of new things in the West. Her arrival has added a touch of life to the dull Forbidden City, which many people like, including the Empress Dowager Cixi. However, the concubine Zhen also planted the bane. Some people said that Empress Dowager Cixi envied the appearance of Concubine Zhen, so she hurt her assassin. This is nonsense.
At present, there are two mainstream views on the death of Zhenfei in historians. One is that Zhenfei encouraged Emperor Guangxu to change the law, which aroused the dissatisfaction of Empress Dowager Cixi; the other is that Empress Dowager Cixi sold the official prince, which made Empress Cixi intolerable. The author believes that the second point of view is the real reason why Zhen Fei was thrown into the well.
mentioned earlier that Concubine Zhen has a better understanding of new things in the West. Many years of life in Guangzhou have made her suffer from the problem of spending money. After coming to live in the Forbidden City, Zhen Fei's problem with spending money indiscriminately did not abate. At the same time, Emperor Guangxu dominated the concubine Zhenzhen alone, which made Empress Dowager Cixi’s niece and Empress Longyu dissatisfied.
In order to get more money, Zhen Fei thought of selling Guan Yujue, which made her way of no return. Among all the official positions sold by Zhen Fei, Shanghai Daotai is the largest. According to the level of Concubine Zhen, the salary she can receive in one year is 300 taels of silver, plus some rewards, the money is quite enough.
The empress dowager Cixi became extremely angry after the exposure of the concubine Zhenzhen’s act of selling officials. She reprimanded: “He is still a good thing. Runing doesn’t know the ancestor’s family law, but if this is the case, who will teach it?” Of course, the concubine Zhen was not to be outdone, and she directly complained. I went back: "The ancestor's family law also has its own bad predecessors. How dare you be a concubine, this is also the teaching of the queen dowager."
In the eyes of the Empress Dowager Cixi, Zhen concubine can tolerate anything, but she can be an official. Never. If it continues, Concubine Zhen will cultivate a group of her own forces. Does she want to "listen to politics"? Thinking of this level, the Empress Dowager Cixi put her concubine Zhen under house arrest after the "Coup d'état of 1898". When the Eight-Power Allied Forces attacked Beijing, the Empress Dowager Cixi threw her into the well due to inconvenience to carry.
