The once glorious dynasty finally fell in her hands, and the two emperors of the last generation, under her control, became marionettes. The supreme power of the state is under her control, but she is the calm one, but she is also the person on the cusp of the storm. If it weren't for her, would Daqing really have escaped the final outcome?
This is difficult for the world to say, and the questions about them are really profound. However, I have to admit that she is indeed a luxurious person, and not to talk about the big aspect, just the craftsman who made clothes, she hired more than 3,000 people to put in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and when she went to Fengtian alone, she carried 3,000 pieces of clothes. It is estimated that the clothes in Cixi's "Imperial Clothing Warehouse" are probably around 80,000 pieces later.
This is a number that is more difficult for ordinary people to imagine, but it is a real fact.
Cixi's life and the extravagance of life are really unimaginable, even if it is a pillow that is commonly used every day, it is also hidden and mysterious. At that time, one of Cixi's close palace women, out of a momentary selfishness, stole one of Cixi's pillows away at the time of the "Eight-Nation Alliance's invasion of China" in 1900, and opened it 64 years later, which actually contained 4 pearls of the Great Night.
At that time, the city of Beijing was occupied by the Eight-Nation Alliance, and when the country was in danger, Cixi fled in order to save her life, but when she left, she still did not forget her rare treasures According to historical records, Cixi had countless treasures in her life, but what she liked most was the pearl of the night, so that when she finally died, she still had the pearl of the night in her mouth.
It's like a child taking care of his beloved toy, protecting what he likes, that's human nature. Cixi cherished the treasures she loved, and even when she was facing great trouble, she still couldn't bear to give them up.

The 4 night pearls hidden in the pillow, Cixi originally thought, let his personal palace maid help him take it out, give it to Li Hongzhang to collect together, anyway, this will return to her hands in the future. However, what she never expected was that this little palace girl had been with herself for so many years, and in the end she still did not do the things she had entrusted.
At the beginning, the little palace girl really wanted to live up to Cixi's entrustment and handle this matter properly; at that time, when the war was raging around, the little palace girl did not find Li Hongzhang, and later she fled with the night pearl herself, but only in her old age did she take out this pillow and give it to her descendants. Later, after everyone opened this pillow out of curiosity, they found that there were 4 large beads lying in it, and later after handing it in, they learned that they were all night pearls.
After so many years of displacement, the night pearl was finally discovered. All this may have come a little late, but in the end it was not absent.
According to the appraisal of cultural relics experts, these 4 night pearls are the 4 pearls that were used in the phoenix crown of Empress Dowager Cixi, which is really a rare treasure, and it is no wonder that Empress Dowager Cixi is still thinking about these 4 big treasures when her life is difficult to save. However, money is something outside the body, and in the end, it cannot be taken away.
Cixi spent her life in luxury, hiding countless treasures, and even so, in the end, she could not take away one or two, but instead lost the "posthumous name".
