History is the memory of things that have been said and done. —Carl Baker
Li Lianying entered the palace at the age of 9, because of her well-behaved and sensible, she was deeply appreciated and pleased by her master Empress Dowager Cixi, and at the age of 21, Li Lianying was promoted to the position of Grand Eunuch, and the official rank was Zheng Erpin, and since then she has become a big red person around Cixi. So, after Cixi's death, Li Lianying still lived for 3 years, how did he live?
After guarding cixi's filial piety for a hundred days, he immediately left the palace
On November 15, 1908, Empress Dowager Cixi died in the Yiluan Palace, Li Lianying was very sad, Fu Ling cried bitterly, and then hosted lafayette's aftermath with sorrow, personally guarding filial piety for the master son for a hundred days, in order to fulfill the loyalty of the master and slave, and then he resigned from the Xuantong Emperor and Empress Longyu, and immediately left the palace and went home to hide.
This year, Li Lianying was 60 years old, and he deeply understood the principle of "one son of heaven and one courtier", Cixi died, he knew that he had no backing, and he was old, and it was no longer suitable to stay in the new court, so it was a wise choice to quit and go into hiding immediately.
After retiring, her life was abundant and abundant, and Li Lianying lived in simplicity and no longer interacted with people
Li Lianying resigned, and Empress Longyu allowed her to "retire from the original product", which means that she will still receive as much salary after retirement. Li Lianying was originally a Zhengerpin official system and had a generous salary, so his life after retirement was not bad, and he had no worries about food and clothing.
Moreover, when Li Lianying followed Cixi in the dynasty, she was powerful and powerful, and had already accumulated a lot of money and real estate, such as the military aircraft office in Haidian Town, the Li Mansion in the Diaofang Residence, the Caihefang Li Mansion, etc. These houses are all round arches through the corridor, carved beams and powder walls, exquisite layout, and spectacular scale, which can be called a mansion and a noble house, which can be owned by ordinary people and is of great value.
However, after Li Lianying retired, she did not live in these mansions, but gave all the mansions to her family and relatives, but she chose a hidden and quiet place, closed the door to thank guests, ate fasting to the Buddha, and lived a secluded life.
At the age of 63, Li Lianying contracted acute pneumonia, and eventually died of incurable illness, and was buried in the self-placed field outside desheng gate after death
In short, Li Lianying has also had a glorious life, but when the nobles are gone, in the last 3 years, he chose to live in seclusion and tranquility, and he is also a wise person, and there is nothing to regret.
