In the history of the late Qing Dynasty, there are many sad events, but the most regrettable thing is the "Cixi Western Hunting". In that year, when Cixi and Guangxu were passing by Juyongguan on the way to the "Western Hunt", they accidentally found an ancestral hall, and when Guangxu knew the owner of the ancestral hall, he said a sentence that frightened the prince and minister. What exactly did the Guangxu Emperor say? The following Xiaobian will reveal the secret to you from the beginning:

In the last years of the Qing Dynasty, the situation at home and abroad was turbulent, and by 1900 AD, the Western powers formed the "Eight-Nation Alliance" and hit the Forbidden City in August of the same year, and at this time, Empress Dowager Cixi woke up like a dream, quickly ordered people to pack their luggage, and then took the Guangxu Emperor, as well as the ministers and palace eunuchs, all the way to the west to escape and take refuge, and declared that "the two palaces are hunting in the west".
Cixi was fleeing rather than playing, so the bumps up and down the road almost cost her half her life, after all, Cixi was already 65 years old at the time. After a day and a night of non-stop galloping, it was not until the next morning that Cixi and her party arrived at Juyongguan, and the carriage stopped, and Empress Dowager Cixi sat in the carriage and was really uncomfortable, wanting to come out and walk.
Empress Dowager Cixi stepped out of the carriage and inhaled a few breaths of fresh mountain air. Because Juyongguan was guarded by Qing soldiers, Cixi and his party did not have much to worry about, and they were ready to continue to advance into the mountains. As a result, before they had walked more than a hundred meters, just as they were turning a hillside, a temple-like building appeared not far in front of them. So, Empress Dowager Cixi took three steps and made two steps, and eagerly walked toward the temple, she wanted to pray for incense, but when she came to the front, she found that it was an ancestral hall that had fallen into disrepair.
There was no Buddha statue in the ancestral hall, but a statue was sculpted, and just when Empress Dowager Cixi was wondering who it was, she suddenly heard the Guangxu Emperor shouting outside, saying that there was a remnant of the Tang Dynasty next to the ancestral hall. Empress Dowager Cixi went out to take a closer look, and the inscription read: "Di Liang Gong Ancestral Monument", Liang Gong was Changping Ling, and some concubines died in tigers... The scholar thinks of the public virtue and erects it as a shrine.
It can be seen from this that the owner of this ancestral hall is the famous Di Renjie. Therefore, Cixi and Guangxu and their party solemnly saluted and hurried into the ancestral hall to worship for a few times. At the same time, the Guangxu Emperor couldn't help but let out an exclamation: "Manchu Dynasty Wenwu no longer has Liang Gong." As soon as these words came out, Empress Dowager Cixi immediately looked at Guangxu and looked solemn and did not say a word. When the Minister of Culture and Military Affairs behind them heard this, they all immediately lowered their heads, and even some people were trembling with their legs.
The meaning of Emperor Guangxu's words was obvious, he was not only complaining, but also scolding the Manchu Dynasty for not having any talent in literature and martial arts, and there was no minister like Di Renjie, otherwise he would not have ended up in such a sad end. Therefore, the ministers were naturally ashamed. But then again, the Guangxu Emperor's exclamation was actually not unreasonable.
As we all know, Di Renjie was the mainstay of the Wuzhou Dynasty in the Tang Dynasty, and he was respected by Wu Zetian as the "Elder of the Country", so you can imagine how high his status is, and all this also stems from Di Renjie's own talents. In addition, about the life of Di Renjie, I believe that many readers are like a number of family treasures, so the small editor will not talk nonsense, just say one thing you don't know.
From the "Di Liang Gong Ancestral Monument" in the ancestral hall, it can be seen that at that time, there were fierce tigers in the mountains and forests in the north, so Di Renjie issued a text to catch the tiger, but he did not expect that the next morning, the tiger would send it to the door by himself. So the people killed the tiger and completely eliminated the tiger infestation. Later, the people regarded the "tiger surrendering itself" as being influenced by Di Renjie's benevolent government, so the local people erected the Liang Gong Ancestral Hall to commemorate Di Renjie's merits.
Seeing this, perhaps you also understand that if Guangxu laments that the minister is not good, in fact, the minister's psychology can also sigh that the emperor, or the empress dowager, is not good. What you need to know is that Di Renjie's "great leader" is a generation of empress wu Zetian, can Guangxu and Cixi be compared with it? In the final analysis, the rulers of the entire Qing Dynasty could not do it themselves, and how good could they still demand that the Manchu Dynasty's wenwu be?
After a sigh of relief, Cixi and Guangxu squeezed into the carriage and began to flee westward in a daze...
