The Xianfeng Emperor was the last emperor in Chinese history to hold real power and the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty to ascend to the throne in the form of a secret crown prince, diligent in political affairs, but his talent was barely enough to be a shoucheng king, but it was too difficult for him to deal with the changes that the Chinese nation had encountered in three thousand years.
Xianfeng was also the most unlucky emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and as soon as he came to power, Hong Xiuquan began to make a fuss, and he could not be balanced until his death, but his vision was not bad, and he reused Zeng Guofan to eliminate the Taiping Army. Then came the Second Opium War, where baliqiao was defeated in a bloody battle, and Xianfeng fled to the Chengde Mountain Resort.
He didn't want to lose what his ancestors had left him, but he lost more, not to mention the conventional items of land reparations, the Yuanmingyuan was burned, even the city of Beijing was lost, and the dragon chair let the foreigners sit, which was almost the same as the subjugation of the country. Xian Feng struggled, tried peace talks, and fought, but the results were all humiliation. Xian Feng was desperate, the world was too terrible, there was nothing to love, it was better to leave early.
Escape, xianfeng can choose is to escape, escape from this terrible reality. So, he did two things at the summer resort.
The first thing, listening to the opera during the day, he was obsessed with Peking Opera, a ashes-level Peking Opera fan, and the actor's word ran away from his ears.
The second thing, acting at night, acting with beautiful women, is similar to a certain national action movie. The performance was too engaged, and it fell into a bad reputation for lust. However, Xianfeng's concubines added up to just a dozen and Kangxi Qianlong could not be compared at all, and compared with his old rival Hong Xiuquan, he was simply a small witch. How lustful.
I think that first, doing so when state affairs are so unbearable can easily make people think of the kings of the country, such as Yang Guang, Chen Shubao and the like. Xianfeng's ancestor, the Qianlong Emperor, was also merciful everywhere, so much so that today he is being ridiculed in all kinds. But people's called wind flow, that is because people have not mistakenly done the right thing, the national strength is thriving, and after the wind flow is over, they are refreshed. Look at Xian Feng again, the body itself is weak, and it is even worse after tossing, and it is too much acting at night.
Why Xian Feng did this, I think he wanted to leave this world that humiliated him quickly. Xianfeng suffered from tuberculosis, which was a terminal illness at the time, but this was a chronic disease, as long as it was well conditioned, it could prolong life, and Xianfeng of course had various conditions for conditioning. He didn't, but chose to act out to hasten death. Tuberculosis can not drink alcohol, the doctor will not tell him, but he often drunk drunk. There is only one explanation for all this: just to die quickly.
