After Cixi's death, her confidant Li Lianying still lived for 3 years, how did Li Lianying live in these 3 years?
In the summer of 1966, a group of people excavated a mound in Enji, Beijing, but excavating the mound was not a simple task, because the soil of the mound was too hard and there was no progress after more than a week of digging. So why did this group of people work a hot day to dig this mound? Yes, this mound is very important, but it is not an ordinary mound. It turned out that this mound was in a cemetery, and the owner of the cemetery was none other than Li Lianying, a famous eunuch at the end of the Qing Dynasty.
Li Lianying is one of the notorious figures in Modern Chinese history, and in his glory he performed two miracles, namely: he served as the Grand Eunuch of the Chuxiu Palace in charge of the Chuxiu Palace just 17 years after entering the palace (generally 30 years before entering the palace), and the only eunuch in the Manchu Qing Dynasty who was rewarded with wearing a flower plume. However, since 17:00 on November 15, 1908, when Cixi died of illness at the age of 74, li Lianying's life instantly changed from Yangchun March to Snow White Winter.
Everything Li Lianying had been given by Lafayette, and now that Lafayette is gone, he is not the most favored person, and the future is really uncertain. So, there was the next one. When the prince and minister came to mourn, Li Lianying lay down in front of Cixi's spirit and wept bitterly. We don't know whether Li Lianying is really crying or fake crying at this time. But one thing is for sure, he did this to make Empress Longyu feel his sincerity.
Li Lianying, as a famous eunuch of the Qing Dynasty, he himself was not so bad, and did not reach the point of calamity to the country and the people, if you compare him with Wei Zhongxian Zhao Gao, it is really a little high to look up to him, Li Lianying is a sleek person, and the empress dowager wants to dispose of some concubines and palace women, Li Lianying will try her best to help them alleviate their guilt, so Li Lianying is still more popular in the harem. After Cixi's death, Li Lianying, how he spent every day, we have no way to know, but certainly not like the palace need to worry about life, can we guess that in the three years after leaving the palace, Li Lianying lived a very happy life?
