Some people compare Cixi to Lü Hou and Wu Zetian, but Lü Hou and Wu Zetian both held great power in the early stage of a dynasty, so they did not need to take any responsibility for the decline and fall of the dynasty, but Cixi was different, she was the ruler of the late Qing Dynasty, when the Qing Dynasty was backward, and the ministers of the DPRK were stubborn and unwilling to change, and those in power would never let their power be shaken, thus leaving a page of shame, Cixi could not be without responsibility.
Cixi's father, Yehenara Huizheng, was born as a prisoner, manchurian with blue flags, belonging to the lower five banners, had long held the position of pen paste, after the Xianfeng Emperor ascended the throne, he selected eight flags to show women, and Cixi, who was seventeen years old, entered the palace, and the history of the scenery of the Cixi family began.
Hui Zheng became the governor of Anhui after taking up his post, as soon as he took office began to loot money, within a few years the Taiping Army attacked Anhui, Hui Zheng could not resist, seeing that Anhui Inspector Jiang Wenqing was killed, the rest of the ministers of culture and military affairs were killed and injured, so they left their posts and fled to other places for refuge, so they were dismissed, and then Hui Zheng died of illness in Zhenjiang.
After the death of the Xianfeng Emperor, the ambitious Cixi took the initiative step by step, seized great power, and held a high position of power, and later issued an edict announcing: "The mother of the Empress Dowager Cixi was carried into Manchuria with a yellow flag. ”
In the relevant historical documents, there are not many records of Cixi's mother, but it is also mentioned that when she celebrated her seventieth birthday, Cixi did not have time to wish her mother a birthday, so she asked the attendants to bring many precious gifts and wrote a poem:
"The love of fathers and mothers in the world is the truest, and the blood of tears dissolves into the body of the children." Exhaustion will eventually be a son, poor parents in the world! ”
At that time, the camera had appeared, so Cixi's mother also left a photograph.
Because of Cixi' ascension to heaven, cixi's only sister, Yehenara Wanzhen, was the biological mother of the Guangxu Emperor.
Wanzhen also participated in the draft of the Xianfeng Emperor, but was unsuccessful, and was later promised to the Xianfeng Emperor's half-brother YiZhen as a concubine Fujin, the picture above is a picture of Yizhen and Wanzhen, and this matter was promoted by Cixi. Wan Zhen gave birth to several sons after marriage, but only the son of Ai Xinjue Luo Zai Xiang survived.
However, he did not want to be taken to the imperial palace by Cixi at the age of three and ascended the throne as the Guangxu Emperor. Wanzhen and Zai Xiang mother and son separated, 22 years have not seen, the mood can be imagined.
The photo above is Cixi's second brother Yehenara Guixiang, who is the biological father of The Guangxu Emperor's empress Longyu, Longyu's name is Yehenara Jingfen, and below is the photo of Longyu, Longyu married to the Guangxu Emperor, which was also approved by Cixi, it can be said that Cixi used all the relatives who could be used in order to consolidate his power.
The Guangxu Emperor was cixi's nephew and cixi's nephew, or Cixi's adopted son, and Jingfen was both Cixi's niece and Cixi's daughter-in-law, but the relationship between Longyu and Guangxu was not good, Guangxu's favorite concubine was still Zhenfei, Zhenfei was born in an open-minded family, was the daughter of Hubu Right Attendant Changxu, a Manchurian red flag bearer, but in the end she was ordered by Cixi to throw herself into the well.
In addition, Gui Xiang's eldest daughter Jing Rong, that is, Longyu's sister, was promised by Cixi to the Fuguo Gong Zaize, and the rightmost one in the picture below is Jing Rong.
Longyu's sister Jingfang is accused of marrying the Iron Hat King ShunchengJun Wang Ai Xinjue Luo Nelehe as Fujin, and below is Jingfang's photo.
Cixi also had an adopted daughter, Princess Rongshou Gulun, and below is a colored photo of Princess Rongshou Gulun, the eldest daughter of Prince Gong Yili.
After the death of the Xianfeng Emperor in 1861, Cixi joined forces with Yi Bi to launch the Xin You coup and gradually came to power, and Princess Rongshou Gulun was also the last princess to be included in the Qing History Manuscript.
