In 1861, the Xianfeng Emperor died in Rehe, leaving only one prince behind him, Zaichun. After a series of thrilling palace coups, the empress dowager of the two palaces seized actual power, and with the support of Prince Gong Yi, the young and ignorant Tongzhi was elevated to the throne of the Ninth Five-Year Supreme. In fact, he didn't understand anything, and sitting there was just pretending, everything was decided by the two empresses behind him, and his main task every day was to study in the Hongde Hall.
Tongzhi Emperor
In the Qing Dynasty, the education of the crown prince was very strict, but Tongzhi was an exception. Because he had lost his father since he was a child, and the two mothers were busy with state affairs all day and had no time to take care of him, so Tongzhi had been mixed with a group of eunuch palace women since he was a child, and the teenager who had weak self-control when he was young did not get strict discipline, and Tongzhi gradually developed the bad habit of being lazy and not good at reading, just as the so-called "entering the abalone wanton, not smelling its smell for a long time", Tongzhi played happily and tirelessly.
Wrestling
Tongzhi, like most young people today, is sleepy when he sees a book, but he is very excited when it comes to playing. One of his favorite games is called "Wrestling". It is said that this is a game invented by a certain eunuch, placing a long bench on which one person lies, letting another person press his stomach, and then using this as the center of the circle to keep turning in circles, and those who are proficient in this are said to be able to spin up casually on the ground, which is very good.
Tongzhi liked the game very much, and as a son of heaven himself, he could not do such indecent things, so he often ordered the little eunuch to perform for him, while he laughed happily. This game is extremely demanding on physical fitness, only small and flexible eunuchs can perform, and the older ones are powerless, and after a long time, they are dizzy and even die.
Tongzhicai did not care about this, as long as he wanted to see, he forcibly ordered the eunuch to perform, and many people died as a result. After Tongzhi met Zai Cheng, he played more tricks, and Zai Cheng was also a master who did not like to learn, because of the convenience of his identity, he played more tricks.
Zai Cheng tried his best to encourage Tongzhi to go out of the palace to play, and in his opinion, Tongzhi was playing pediatrics. You only need to take one or two small money in the palace, and you can drink fine wine in the capital and hug beautiful people. Tongzhi was fooled by him and followed Zai Cheng out of the palace to have fun and never got out of control.
Tongzhi
At this time, Tongzhi began to haunt the Flower Street Liu Lane, Qin Lou Chu Pavilion. It is said that he often went to the taverns and brothels outside Chongwen Gate to drink and have fun, "the handsome Xiao Liuru, Chun Mei, and the prostitute Xiao Feng, all invited to be lucky", and then indulged in "novel obscenities, secret drama atlases", at this time, he met Wang Qingqi again.
Wang Qingqi was originally just a small Attendant of the Hanlin Academy, but he was handsome and versatile, and once happened to be met by the Tongzhi Emperor who was out of the palace in micro-clothing, and Tongzhi greatly praised him, and suddenly won the title of Five Pins And Two Pins. This Wang Qingqi was originally a person who had no ability at all, and when he encountered this "heavenly opportunity", he naturally held it firmly in his hand.
Wang Qingqi tried every means to please Tongzhi, and used all the means he used to eat, drink and have fun all his life, which made the Tongzhi Emperor's heart blossom, so Tongzhi and Wang Qingqi got along day and night, playing day and night, and the ponbi was adulterous, like glue.
Once, when the eunuch brought tea to Tongzhi, he saw Tongzhi and Wang Qingqi sitting on the bed together and looking at a pamphlet with relish, looking very intimate. The eunuch had doubts in his heart, and when he looked closer, it was actually a pamphlet. The two were so fascinated by it that even the people around them didn't notice it.
So from the palace came the saying that Tongzhi was also a good man. In addition, there was even a bad saying that Tongzhi did not even let go of eunuchs: "Those who have the tin of Xiangdu are like maidens, and the emperor is lucky." The tin has a sister, and the goldfish pond prostitute also. More leading the emperor to be with him. From being drowned in color, gradually forgetting to return.".
empress dowager
Emperor Tongzhi's body was already very weak, and he couldn't withstand the torment of this daily alcoholic woman. Soon he fell ill and died at the age of 19 in the Temple of Nourishing Hearts.
