The death of the Guangxu Emperor has become a hundred-year mystery in the historical world, the cause of death of the Guangxu Emperor has made people speculate, according to the palace doctor records, although the Guangxu Emperor was somewhat unwell before his death, but it was not a fatal illness, he spoke and acted freely, but only two or three days later, the Guangxu Emperor was declared critically ill, so many historians believe that the death of Guangxu must have hidden feelings, in fact, it is true, a few years ago, the archaeological community conducted a coffin autopsy on the coffin of the Guangxu Emperor, and its bones and hair were tested. It was found that the heavy metal elements exceeded the standard, so it was believed that he died after taking arsenic, and after this discovery was published, it shocked the world, so who was the real murderer of the Guangxu Emperor?
Some people say that it was Empress Dowager Cixi, because the relationship between Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu deteriorated after the failure of the change of law, although the Guangxu Emperor was imprisoned, but he knew that age was his greatest advantage, so he Taoguang was obscure, bent on surviving Cixi and regaining power, but Cixi was also very clear in his heart, it is said that before Cixi died, she specially sent someone to inquire about the reaction of the Guangxu Emperor, and the spies came back to say that the Guangxu Emperor had a happy face, Cixi was furious, and he said viciously: I can't die in front of him! Of course, this is just a legend.
Some people also say that the real murderer of the Guangxu Emperor was Yuan Shikai, Yuan Shikai betrayed Guangxu and caused the Guangxu Emperor to be imprisoned, the Guangxu Emperor hated him to the bone, once the Guangxu Emperor returned to power, Yuan Shikai could not escape death, but how could Yuan Shikai approach the Guangxu Emperor and poison his food? Some people say that Yuan Shikai bought the eunuchs around the Guangxu Emperor, but the food in the palace was subject to strict poison testing, so this statement is also difficult to establish, many historical experts believe that in fact, there is another biggest suspect who poisoned the Guangxu Emperor, which is ignored by everyone, this person is Empress Longyu.
Empress Longyu was the niece of Empress Dowager Cixi, Empress Longyu was hunched over and ugly in appearance, the Guangxu Emperor was very unwelcome with her, on the day of the big wedding, the Guangxu Emperor and Empress Longyu made three chapters of the law, he only regarded her as a sister, Empress Longyu was heartbroken, and later the contradictions between the two were continuous, especially between Princess Zhen and Empress Longyu, and empress Longyu often went to Cixi to beat Princess Zhen's small report, and later on the death of Princess Zhen, the Guangxu Emperor did not dare to complain about Cixi, so he vented all his resentment on Empress Longyu How much did the Guangxu Emperor hate Empress Longyu?
He often connived with his pugs to pee in Empress Longyu's palace, and took pleasure in this, every time he passed through Longyu's palace, he must stomp his feet to wake up Empress Longyu who was still sleeping, and then sneered and whisked his sleeves away, the contradiction between Empress Longyu and Guangxu had reached an irreconcilable point, after Guangxu was imprisoned, Empress Longyu was in charge of the power of the harem, and no one dared to compete with it, but once Cixi died, Emperor Guangxu re-took charge of the government, and I am afraid that the most difficult life is himself. His position as queen will be abolished, and his previous hatred will be vented on him.
And Empress Longyu, as Cixi's closest niece, as the titular empress of Guangxu, has the best chance to get close to the Guangxu Emperor, so it is entirely possible that the Guangxu Emperor was poisoned by Empress Longyu, and once Guangxu died, Empress Longyu wanted to emulate her aunt Cixi to listen to the government, but she did not expect that the Qing Dynasty collapsed in less than three years after Cixi's death, and Empress Longyu also became the last empress dowager of the Qing Dynasty and became the last mourner of the Qing Dynasty! Throughout her life, she did not get happiness, nor did she chase power, and became the most pitiful woman in the late Qing Dynasty.
