The Guangxu Emperor died on November 14, 1908 in Zhongnanhai, Beijing, at the age of 38. And just the day after the death of the Guangxu Emperor, Empress Dowager Cixi also passed away, and the death of the two people one after the other made the cause of death of the Guangxu Emperor more strange, so how did the Guangxu Emperor die? Let's take a look:
Legend has it that four days before the death of the Guangxu Emperor, he felt that his stomach was very painful, and passed on the Taiyi to treat him, but the Taiyi was blocked out of the door and was not allowed to enter. The next day, there was a Western doctor called Qu Guiting to get the right to enter, he went in, found the Guangxu Emperor rolling on the bed in pain, and his face was black, there were obvious signs of poisoning, but he did not give the Guangxu Emperor any treatment measures, just simply fed him a little hot water.
Later, the Guangxu Emperor recruited other tai doctors, but the medicine he prescribed had no effect on him. Strangely, four days before the death of the Guangxu Emperor, Cixi carried the coffin into the palace, not knowing why.
In recent years, the state has carried out rescue excavations of the tomb of the Guangxu Emperor, and tested the body of the Guangxu Emperor, and found that the arsenic contained in the body of the Guangxu Emperor was more than 2400 times higher than that of normal people, and in ancient times, there was only one drug with a relatively high content of arsenic, that is, arsenic.
Experts then tested Guangxu's coffin and his clothes and found that the highest arsenic was ten times higher than normal. In addition, according to the distribution map of arsenic and chronic poisoning are completely different, such a high arsenic is not caused by external factors, and such a high arsenic content is not normally ingested by the human body. Combining the above-mentioned death of Guangxu, it can be inferred that it was an organized murder with a clear division of labor.
