To say that the four eunuchs of the late Qing Dynasty, Cui Yugui is a practicing family, in addition to being able to speak the Tao, he also plays a wonderful bagua fist, plus he usually likes to sing a few Beijing operas, and by taking the opportunity of being transferred by Prince Qing to the palace drama class to play a martial arts student, he and Cixi had a close contact.
Cui Yugui, who knows martial arts himself, interprets the Wusheng horn to the fullest, and every time cixi is fascinated, with this side job, Cui Yugui got cixi's favor, so he let Cixi stay by his side, and when he was 21 years old, he became the second eunuch.
Before the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded the city of Beijing, Cixi was afraid that the Forbidden City would be occupied and wanted to flee to Xi'an with Guangxu and some concubines, but before leaving, Cixi had a quarrel with Emperor Guangxu's favorite concubine, who did not want the emperor to go with Cixi and strived to leave Emperor Guangxu in the palace.
Cixi was furious, and in a hurry, she had to find a way to kill Zhenfei, but there was also a reasonable reason to die. Therefore, in the name of preserving Zhenfei's innocence, Cixi let Zhenfei commit suicide by throwing herself into the well, and when she received such an order, Zhenfei naturally did not want to obey, so Cixi asked Cui Yugui to forcibly throw Zhenfei into the well, and Zhenfei died tragically.
In early 1902, the Qing Dynasty and the Eight-Power Alliance signed the Treaty of Xinugu, and Cixi and his gang learned in Xi'an that the city of Beijing was now too peaceful, so they returned to the Forbidden City.
Guangxu was devastated to learn that Zhenfei had died, and in order to appease Guangxu, Cixi asked the eunuchs to salvage Zhenfei's body from the well and bury Zhenfei thickly.
Of course, things could not have passed so simply, although at that time all the power in the DPRK and China was in the hands of Cixi, but when she killed Zhenfei for no reason, Cixi always couldn't say it, so she began to find reasons for herself, saying how confused she was, and she was also frightened by the Eight-Nation Alliance, and the angry words she said for a while were not really going to kill Zhenfei... In short, I found a lot of objective reasons to relieve myself.
Because of Cixi's status and power, Guangxu naturally did not dare to do anything with Cixi, but Cui Yugui, who was directly related to Princess Zhen's death, was unlucky.
However, Guangxu saw whether he had killed Cui Yugui in Cixi's face, after all, Cui Yugui was one of the four eunuchs of the late Qing Dynasty. Instead, he ordered that Cui Yugui be stripped of his position as the second governor of the Qing Dynasty and driven cui out of the Forbidden City.
Previously, with the identity of the second eunuch, Cui Yugui made a lot of money around Cixi, and after leaving the palace, he naturally did not lack food or clothing, and lived a life of local tycoons.
However, although he left the Forbidden City, Cui Yugui's life in the palace did not end because of this, and it was not long before Cui Yugui received Cixi's order and returned to the palace again.
After returning this time, Cui Yugui did not stay with Cixi for long, because in 1908, the Guangxu Emperor and Empress Dowager Cixi died one after another, and Cui Yugui left the palace again after the death of his master.
After leaving the Forbidden City again, Cui Yugui decided to convert to Buddhism, so he bought a piece of land near the Guandi Temple in Beijing, chanted Buddhist scriptures, and farmed for a living, and for the next 18 years, Cui Yugui and one of his disciples lived here until 1926, when Cui Yugui died of illness.
