The Qing Dynasty was the last feudal dynasty in Chinese history, there were many legendary characters, and the royal family of the Qing Dynasty was also full of many legends, such as the emperor and empress dowager of the Qing Dynasty, empress dowager Cixi was a more famous figure in the Qing Dynasty, and the Guangxu Emperor was also the most ordinary of many emperors, but was Guangxu really poisoned by Cixi?
Because the Great Qing Dynasty is the closest feudal dynasty to the present, all the truths are relatively clear, and in the struggle between the Guangxu Emperor and Cixi, the Guangxu Emperor is in the inferior position in terms of both the power of the dynasty and the hearts of the ministers. The cause of death of the Guangxu Emperor has always been a mystery in history.
In order to analyze this mystery, China's historians have done relevant scientific research on the remains of the Guangxu Emperor, in this study shows that the Guangxu Emperor's regret appeared in a arsenic element thing, everyone may not know much about this arsenic element, it is actually the main component of ancient arsenic, which shows that the cause of death of the Guangxu Emperor is caused by arsenic.
There are also rumors that the Guangxu Emperor was poisoned by Empress Dowager Cixi, but the relationship between Guangxu and Cixi was not so bad at the beginning, Cixi also publicly announced that he wanted to train the Guangxu Emperor to be a qualified heir, and slowly Cixi gradually released the power to the Guangxu Emperor, but the Guangxu Emperor was a reformist emperor and wanted to change the fate of the Qing Dynasty through reform, but these ministers who supported the reform faction conspired to murder Empress Dowager Cixi, which made Cixi, who had already delegated power at that time, have a sense of crisis. So he went out to collect the ministers who supported the reforms, and imprisoned the Guangxu Emperor.
On the eve of Cixi's death, a eunuch secretly reported that the Guangxu Emperor learned that Empress Dowager Cixi was going to die and was very disappointed, and Cixi also understood that Guangxu was an emperor of radical reforms, and when he was finished, he would definitely reform from the new, and after the reform was successful, then the lord and faction headed by Empress Dowager Cixi signed a lot of unequal treaties, then they were sinners of history.
Cixi was originally a person who paid great attention to fame, how could she let herself die and leave a historical crime? And if the Guangxu Emperor's reform failed, it would inevitably make the Qing dynasty into a point of no return, so in desperation, Cixi ordered people to poison the Guangxu Emperor with arsenic, after which Empress Dowager Cixi supported the young Puyi to become the last emperor, but Puyi was only a puppet emperor for three years, and was forced to abdicate, ending the Qing Dynasty and ending the last feudal era in China.
