Cixi Xi fled and borrowed 100,000 taels from the Qiao family, asking: What reward do you want? Joe's House: 4 words is enough!
In the later years of the Qing Dynasty, the government was corrupt, the uprisings were continuous, and the continuous bullying and disturbances of the Western powers caused a frenzy to divide China. Empress Dowager Cixi not only did not order a struggle against the enemy, but on the contrary, a person fled, and Cixi also suffered a lot on the way to escape, and the life of the late Qing Dynasty at that time can be said to be unsatisfactory, and Cixi often did not have enough to eat on the way to escape.
Helplessly, Cixi sought the help of local officials, and the officials also knew what Cixi usually did, and he couldn't take it out of his own, and now Cixi had been defeated, so in order to save his life, he took out some small money! However, these small money is not enough for Cixi's expenses, in the face of such a situation, when going to Shanxi, a family is very generous to take out 100,000 taels, Cixi is very moved, said that this is equivalent to borrowing, after returning to Beijing will be returned to this family!
After returning to the palace, Empress Dowager Cixi did not forget the help of the Qiao family, so she asked the Qiao family: What reward do you want? At this time, the Qiao family did not want any high-ranking officials and treasures, but said: just 4 words! Empress Dowager Cixi was naturally willing, so she wrote down the 4 words "Fu Zhong Lang Huan" for the Qiao family, and the Qiao family hung this horizontal plaque on the door! Although the Qiao family did not want any rewards, Cixi still made a lot of convenience for the Qiao family's business, such as circulating silver tickets and so on!
After that, the Qiao family hung it on the main gate, because Cixi was the most powerful in China at that time, so these four words were also a status symbol, and these four words have been preserved until now.
