Therefore, the treasures in Cixi's tomb are a topic of concern. Among them, there is a pearl of night that has attracted the attention of many people. It is said that this pearl of the night was given to the imperial family by foreign countries during the Qianlong period. After Cixi controlled the imperial court, it naturally became a treasure in Cixi's hands. He often took it out to play with it, and even slept with Cixi. The Night Pearl, as the name suggests, is a natural pearl that glows at night. The reason why Cixi can see this night pearl is because its light can illuminate the whole room. It is conceivable that Cixi's room is not so small, and this night pearl is worth a lot.
Before Cixi's temporary, in order to enjoy the glory and wealth underground, he ordered people to send these treasures to their tombs, and this night pearl was named by Cixi herself, and it was also contained in her mouth, and after Cixi's death, this night pearl was left in her mausoleum, so this night pearl was placed until 1928.
In the Qing Dynasty, the last emperor Puyi had announced his abdication. At this time, he was also expelled from the Forbidden City. After Sun Dianying entered the city, in order to increase military spending, he naturally coveted the tomb of the old emperor of the Qing Dynasty. Soon it was intended to go into the tomb and take out all their treasures. Cixi's mausoleum is no exception. After seeing the legendary Night Pearl, Sun Dianying was also touched by this Night Pearl.
It was taken out of Cixi's body, and later cixi's head was found in the water. There was no doubt that the Night Pearl was already in Sun Dianying's hands. The night pearl tossed and turned, falling into the hands of Song Meiling. It was the Republic of China. She also attaches great importance to the night pearl, and even lets people sew the night pearl on their shoes, often showing off in different places. Of course, such a valuable item, naturally very people want to get it, in the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Republic of China and the care of the past are very close.
When Song Meiling sponsored and invested in weapons for the battlefield in the United States, "The Pearl of the Night" was favored by an American tycoon. In fact, we are all familiar with the name of the American tycoon, the famous oil magnate Rockefeller. At the banquet, Song Meiling put on the night pearl shoes as usual. Rockefeller saw it and liked it very much, and despite Song Meiling's repeated refusals, he insisted on buying beads.
At that time, on the front lines, the military needed American investment and weapons. Rockefeller persuaded Song Meiling that he would supply supplies and oil to the Chinese army. In the end, Song Meiling bitterly cut love and bought the night pearl to him, and Rockefeller was also a collector who naturally collected the night pearl.
According to the history books, the advent of this night pearl, when the foreign countries spent nearly 10.8 million silver to please the Qianlong Emperor, bought this night pearl from the hands of a trader, if according to the current exchange rate of silver, this night pearl is worth about 800 million, which makes the rare treasures scattered in the field, which is really very regrettable.
