There are only three most domineering women in ancient times. In addition to Wu Zetian , there are only Empress Lu and Empress Dowager Cixi . Wu Zetian is famous, so let’s not talk about it. She is the real queen. The two women were the ones who followed the dynasty and commanded the . They manipulated the Han Dynasty and the Qing empires as the Queen Mother. Although the men's iron-blooded skills made the men ashamed, the political attitudes adopted were very different. Even Cixi publicly expressed her disdain for Empress Lu. So what was going on? Let me reveal the secret to you today.
Opera is known as the national treasure, and the content of opera is mostly based on historical allusions. The Qing Dynasty was an era when opera blossomed with flowers, and many historical events and famous figures were brought to the stage and re-interpreted.

Cixi likes to watch dramas the most in her life. Whether it is Peking Opera or Cantonese opera, any big drama with a name and a surname cannot escape the eyes of the Lord Buddha. Many famous Peking Opera artists have also been invited to the palace to perform for the Lafayette and are proud of them all their lives.
Empress Dowager Cixi is very obsessed with watching dramas. She not only often applauds, but also has to comment a few times when she is excited. She first praised the actors on the stage for being honest and honest, and then evaluated the historical figures on the stage. The favorite character of Lord Lafayette is Cheng Yaojin. He always says that Cheng Yaojin is a loyal minister with a straightforward personality. Every time Cheng Yaojin appears on the stage, he will smile and point at the stage and let the eunuch see it quickly.
Logically speaking, Empress Dowager Cixi should regard Empress Lü as her idol. After all, the two people are very similar in terms of status and experience, but Empress Dowager Cixi doesn't like Empress Lü. Every time she sees Empress Lü in the Peking opera " Weiyang Palace ", she would say, "Empress Lü is too confused. Liu Bang has too many confidants. What's the use of no matter how many people of Lu's family are king?"
During the Han Dynasty, since Liu Bang's death, Empress Lü began to appear on the political stage, and Han Empire also began to rise and fall in her hands. In order to stabilize his status as the queen mother, Empress Lu began to use the relatives and nobles of the Lu family, Lu Tai, Lüchan , and Lü Lu were successively awarded the title of king, breaking the rule that Liu Bang was not allowed to be king in another surname. Other relatives of the Lu family also obtained their titles. For a time, relatives of the foreign country became the largest power group in the Han Dynasty at that time.
Empress Dowager Cixi is different. Cixi, who originally belonged to the Yehenara clan, did not put Yehenara's relatives in the court because she ascended the throne of the Empress Dowager. This situation occurs. Is it because Cixi was cold-hearted by nature or was she thinking about the country?
When Cixi was a child, she was five brothers and sisters in her family. Cixi was the eldest daughter, and she had three younger brothers and one younger sister. However, Cixi's father didn't like Cixi very much and devoted all her love to other children. This made Cixi feel bored with her family since she was a child, and even unwilling to interact with relatives at home. This became one of the reasons why Cixi did not like the autocracy of her relatives.
But the main reason is that Cixi couldn't stand her brothers. These brothers lived for most of their lives and didn't learn much serious work. The Manchu aristocratic habits learned a Grand Slam, and they were all day long to carry cages and fly leisurely. Cixi hates people who are incompetent in her life the most. Cixi will never use them with incompetent people like her brothers.
Speaking of this, we should also summarize. In fact, does Cixi really want to appoint her brothers? In fact, it is not the case. After all, blood-haired relatives are constantly fighting, and her brothers are called kings and Empress Dowager Cixi in her dreams, but she can only think about it.
Let’s look at Empress Lu’s reliance on several brothers of the Lu family to treat it as the pillars of the construction of the Lu family regime. On the other hand, Cixi, she was born to worry about her fate and could only make trouble for herself in her life. It would be good if her brothers and sisters didn’t cause trouble for themselves. It was not their turn to share their worries for themselves. Empress Dowager Cixi could not eat grapes, so she could only say that the grapes were sour!
