The long river of history is running endlessly, there are calm waves, there are also waves, let Xiaobian take you into history and understand history.
Cixi was the historical Empress Dowager Xi, empress of Xianfeng, and the mother of the Tongzhi Emperor.
After Xianfeng's death, the 27-year-old Cixi bowed to the government, and by the time of his death in 1908, Cixi lived for 73 years and held the fate of the Qing Dynasty for 45 years.
When she was dying, she left three last wishes: First, not to let the woman foresee the affairs of the country, which was contrary to the family law of this dynasty.
The second strict precaution is not to allow eunuchs to abuse their powers, and the affairs of the end of the Ming Dynasty can be Yin Jian.
The third Prince Zaifeng's 3-year-old son Puyi was the emperor's successor, and Zaifeng was the regent's assistant.
Cixi's three last wishes are simply too funny, and they are still reviled by the world.
Let's look at the first article, Cixi said that women should not be allowed to interfere in state affairs in the future, and also said that women's participation in political affairs is contrary to the laws of the ancestors.
There is an old Chinese saying that "when a man dies, his words are good, and when a bird dies, his song will also mourn", Cixi realized at this time, thinking that he had done too much evil. If you know now, why did you know it in the first place? Daqing was tossed to this by you, do you think there is still a future?
In addition, the law of the ancestors of the Qing Dynasty did not explicitly stipulate that women could not participate in politics, and when the emperor Taiji's wife, Empress Xiaozhuang, was a woman who also participated in politics, why did no one scold Xiaozhuang?
The difference is that Filial Piety is for the benefit of Daqing, and Cixi is for her own interests.
Xiaozhuang once used the charm of a woman to summon the Ming Dynasty general Hong Chengyu to surrender to Qing, and once used the wisdom of a woman to assist his grandson Kangxi in killing Ao bai and Wu Sangui...
The power of telling the truth and filial piety is not under Cixi, but she did not bring calamity to the country and the people, but helped the Great Qing to turn the crisis into safety.
When the country was stable, Empress Xiaozhuang no longer interfered in state affairs, but teased Sun Yi to raise his life, and also participated in state affairs, why was the gap between women so large?
Article 2 does not allow eunuchs to monopolize power, the lessons of the Ming Dynasty are vividly remembered, Cixi is old and not confused, and she knows the reason.
What is hateful is that Cixi said one thing and did one thing, and when she was in power, she favored the eunuchs Li Lianying, An Dehai and Xiao Dezhang, but warned future generations not to go beyond the thunder pool.
These three eunuchs did attract hatred for the tiger, especially An Dehai, under the banner of Cixi, who was violently and oppressively oppressing the people outside, and was finally beheaded by Ding Baozhen, the governor of Shandong.
Cixi knew in her heart that reusing eunuchs was a disaster for the country and the people, and for her own enjoyment, she ignored all this, but before she died, she remembered that she shouldn't, or that sentence, she knew now, why should she be in the first place! The Great Qing Dynasty has fallen into this situation, and it is a pity that it is too late to warn future generations to learn from the lessons of the Ming Dynasty's demise!
In particular, Article 3 is hateful, Cixi did not forget to plan for herself before she died, she did not expect that she would die, she wanted to live to be 100 years old, she thought that Guangxu would definitely die in front of her, she set up a 3-year-old child, so as to continue her curtain to listen to the government.
Unfortunately, the plan could not catch up with the change, and Ci Xi died without seeing Puyi succeed to the throne.
What is puzzling is that the Qing Dynasty did not have an older successor? Why should a three-year-old doll take over? The reason for this was only understood in Cixi's heart.
To sum up, Cixi's three last wishes sound very tall, it sounds like it is for the sake of Daqing, she does not say that these three are okay, she said it reminds people of all kinds of past, saying a set of doing a set, insincere, not to let people scold it!
Well, today's sharing ends here, and we'll see you next time
