The so-called "people go tea cold", this sentence applies to anyone. Many people have a lot of followers and admirers around them when they are in the scenery. But once they fall to the bottom, they face the opposite scenario. This is especially true of the people at Vanity Fair. Li Lianying, who is favored by Cixi because she is good at combing her hair, is a prime example.
Li Lianying lived in a poor family when she was young, and it was precisely because there was not enough material foundation to support her family that Li Lianying's father sent the young Li Lianying to the palace. Although later Li Lianying gradually achieved the first eunuch chair above ten thousand people under one person. But no one can survive in the deep palace without their own efforts.
At that time, there were highly respected eunuchs liu, and there were also arrogant chief stewards Andehai. Therefore, Li Lianying knew how to observe the color of speech and be a man with his tail between his legs very early on, because he knew that only in this way could he protect himself in the palace.
Soon, Li Lianying, who knew how to judge the hour and size up the situation, came to an opportunity. Because An Dehai was very favored and favored by Cixi at that time, he was very arrogant and wanton, and this inadvertently annoyed Cixi, and finally ended up being beheaded tragically. Li Lianying learned a very profound lesson from An Dehai, and it is precisely because of this that he pays special attention to the way he usually treats Cixi.
In fact, li Lianying's way of saying it is very simple, that is, saying that Cixi loves to listen to things and doing what Cixi commands. Once Empress Dowager Cixi gathered many ministers and displayed her calligraphy in front of them. In fact, Cixi's artistic attainment is not low, but her work "Fu" that day accidentally wrote a typo.
But at that time, Li Lianying reacted very quickly, and also cleverly gave Cixi a step down, because he said that Empress Dowager Cixi was not an ordinary person, so her blessings were a little more than those of ordinary people.
In this way, the embarrassment of a typo was easily resolved. After this incident, Empress Dowager Cixi also paid special attention to Li Lianying. By 1894, Li Lianying had transformed herself into a erpin official of the imperial court. But in 1911, Li Lianying suddenly died violently.
To this day, there are still many people who discuss the cause of Li Lianying's death. Li Lianying is very thoughtful and appropriate, so basically no one will make enemies with him. In addition, he himself did not participate in the partisan struggle of the imperial court at that time, so he also ruled out the possibility of political enemies. One of the more mainstream theories is that Li Lianying suffered from dysentery and died.
In 1966, Li Lianying's tomb was excavated. When the experts opened the coffin, they found that his funerary products were very luxurious, which matched his status and status in his lifetime. But what puzzled archaeologists even more was that Li Lianying's coffin was only invested and did not have any body torso.
So archaeologists have made bold speculations that Li Lianying may have suffered an accident before she was buried. It is also possible that the coffin was stolen in the middle of the tomb or someone else had opened it, so Li Lianying's body was also destroyed. But all the speculation is just the words of the experts, and whether Li Lianying died naturally or accidentally killed him, more definite evidence is needed to be confirmed.
