The death of the Guangxu Emperor was an accident, that is, to this day we still do not know how Guangxu died.
It is said that in recent years, archaeologists have found arsenic on Guangxu's clothes. Therefore, some experts speculate that Guangxu was poisoned, but who poisoned him?
Many people say that it is Cixi, of course, this is just speculation. There is no evidence that Guangxu was killed by Cixi.
In fact, before Guangxu died, Cixi had found a successor, the reason was that Guangxu was almost 40 years old and had no sons. Moreover, Guangxu was still sick, and this disease had not been good.
Therefore, Cixi chose Zaifeng's son Puyi to become emperor. Guangxu and Zaifeng were brothers, but they were only half-siblings, and it was reasonable to choose his son as emperor.
At that time, Puyi was only three years old, and Cixi chose him to let him go to the palace to familiarize himself with the environment first, and then cultivate a mother-son relationship with Cixi.
At this time, we have a question, why did Cixi choose Puyi, who is only three years old, to inherit the throne? Such a small child, can he be emperor?
Isn't Puyi's father Zaifeng a better candidate?
Although Cixi did not explain this issue, everyone understands people and knows Cixi's intentions. To put it bluntly, Cixi is looking for a child to be the nominal emperor. That is, the puppet in Cixi's hand.
Then, it was she Cixi who was really in charge of the country's power!
It was as if Cixi had raised her own son, Emperor Tongzhi, but this son had to die of smallpox in his twenties. Then she chose Guangxu again.
Guangxu had been a puppet for more than thirty years, and he was about to die. At this time, she also needed a puppet emperor, so she chose Puyi, who was only three years old.
In Cixi's view, her own body raised Puyi, and there must be no problem.
Therefore, this is the reason why she chose Puyi to be the emperor.
However, man is not as good as heaven. What Cixi never expected was that after Guangxu died on the first day, cixi suddenly died at noon the next day.
After she felt that she was no longer able to do it, she quickly entrusted herself and let Puyi ascend the throne as emperor. Let Puyi's father Zaifeng assist Puyi and help Puyi manage national affairs.
So, how did Cixi die?
This is another historical mystery, and her death is similar to Guangxu's death. It's all very sudden, and it dies without people knowing it.
At this time, we will say that Guangxu was not killed by Cixi?
Many people say that Cixi killed Guangxu before she died, is this correct?
Unlikely, or even impossible. Because Cixi didn't know when she was going to die, she didn't have the ability to predict the prophet, was it necessary for her to kill Guangxu at this time?
Besides, even if she knew when she was going to die, she was going to die and kill Guangxu, what good would it do her?
Therefore, Guangxu's death has little to do with Cixi! There was really no need for her to do this, Guangxu was a half-dead person, and even if she was alive, it had no impact on Cixi.
Then there is Cixi's death!
From this point of view, it is very likely that the person who killed Guangxu was the one who killed Cixi, killing Guangxu on the first day, and then killing Cixi the next day.
Otherwise, there is no way to explain why the two helmsmen of the Great Qing Dynasty would have died in two days. The people who can kill them are also the people around them, and ken says that they are the people they believe in the most.
If you lock in a specific group of people, it is likely to be a eunuch. However, the eunuchs were by no means trying to kill their true masters, and there was a mastermind behind the eunuchs.
As for who is the mastermind, in general, who benefits is the mastermind. In fact, after the deaths of Guangxu and Cixi, the biggest beneficiary was Yuan Shikai.
Therefore, Yuan Shikai cannot be separated from the matter, of course, he is also a suspect. In short, through cixi lipuyi as emperor, Cixi's death must have been unusual, and she died suddenly without her knowledge.
