Mother and son, regardless of whether they are in the west, look west to Chang'an and enter the temple
- "Push Back"
As a book of ancient wonders in China, the "Push back map" has many languages for future generations, one of which predicts that Cixi will flee west with the Guangxu Emperor when the Eight-Nation Alliance invades China. "Mother and son in no particular order" means that Cixi has exclusive power and the Guangxu Emperor has no power, while "Looking West to Chang'an" means that she fled west to Xi'an.
Cixi's westward escape is recorded in the "Qing History Manuscript" as a western hunt, but it is only a grandiose word, in fact, it has the same meaning as the "northern hunting" of Jing Kang's shame and the "northern tour" of the Xianfeng period. When Cixi fled westward, there were fewer than twenty people from the beginning of her departure from beijing, and there were only a few guards until the Summer Palace, and there were only a few dozen in total. During this period, why were there no careerists who followed Cao Cao's example of "blackmailing the Son of Heaven to order the princes"?
In August 1900, with the eight-nation alliance capturing Beijing, Cixi fled with the Guangxu Emperor and his empress dowager, plus only a dozen eunuch palace women. After arriving at the Summer Palace, I saw the princes and princes of various clans, and there were also guards accompanying them. But more often than not, the guard work is a civilian dart board.
Along the way, Cixi took off the empress dowager's phoenix robe, put on the peasant clothes, cut her beloved nails short, and sat on the peasant scooter. But the hardships along the way were still unexpected by them, the people around Beijing had long fled clean, even if there was money and no place to spend along the way, Empress Dowager Cixi rushed dozens of miles with hunger, and she couldn't stand it, so she took the corn in the cornfield to fill her hunger and cooked a few clear beans to satisfy her stomach.
Once again Cixi was thirsty, and wanted to drink in the water of the well that passed by, but unexpectedly she fished up a bloody human head, so that the empress dowager no longer dared to drink water in the well, and could only find the stalks of sorghum corn to chew and quench her thirst. In this way, it went all the way to Huailai County, and Wu Yong of Zhixian County came to escort the car, but there were already few people in Huailai County, and the grain had long been robbed.
When Cixi arrived, there was a bowl of mung bean porridge left, so that the empress dowager Lafayette finally had a full meal. After Cixi saw Wu Yong, shed tears, and the Qing History Manuscript records that Cixi said: "Last night I sat on the only bench with the emperor, with my back. Xiao Jian was cold to the bone, and he couldn't stand it, so he tried to see that I had become a grandmother in Ichigo. After a moment of greeting, Cixi couldn't wait to eat, and after eating the mung bean porridge, it wasn't enough, and sent Li Lianying to ask if there were any eggs. As a result, Wu Yong rummaged through the county and found five eggs, Cixi ate three, and the Guangxu Emperor ate two.
It was not until More than September 1900 that Cen Chunxuan, the Commander of the Gansu Clan, led his troops to rescue the car, and after that, there were officials preparing meals and waiting for Cixi along the way. And Cixi's path, at the beginning, even did not have enough to eat, why did no one learn from Cao Cao Dong Zhuo's "blackmail of the Son of Heaven to order the princes"?
In fact, the situation at that time was too different from the last year of the Eastern Han Dynasty during the Han Xiandi Period, first of all, according to the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", although the Eastern Han Dynasty was in turmoil, there was no external trouble, and the external situation was relatively stable, so Cao Cao could blackmail the Heavenly Son to order the princes. The whole world recognized the Han Dynasty, and no one openly called it out.
When Cixi fled west, it was already 1900, foreign enemies invaded, the internal Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had just been pacified, and Sun Yat-sen established the Xingzhong Association in 1894, and became the League Association in 1905. It can be described as internal and external troubles. No one responded to her order to enter the Capital Qin King, let alone hold her hostage.
The second is that Cixi is not the Emperor xian of Han, the emperor of the Han Dynasty is the orthodox generation of emperors of the Han Dynasty, and Cixi was already deeply hated by the people at that time, eager to kill her "Qing Jun's side", who dared to hold her hostage. In addition, the Qing Dynasty was not without strength, and Dong Fuxiang in the north at that time still had tens of thousands of troops equipped with Mauser rifles. At that time, Cixi was already in the state of blackmailing the Princes of Heaven, who would hold her hostage again?
