When it comes to Cixi, everyone thinks of some bad things she did, of course, in our impression, she did not do anything for the welfare of the people.
Therefore, people did not wrongfully accuse her.
When we think of Cixi, we will think of China being bullied by the Eight-Power Alliance at that time, we will think of the indemnity for the cession of land, and we will think of "measuring The material resources of China and the happiness of the country."
In short, Cixi was not a qualified leader.
Of course, Cixi did not do a good job as a parent, for example, the struggle for imperial power, originally Guangxu was the emperor, and the national affairs Guangxu had the final say.
However, she did not let Guangxu take power, and all the rights were in her own hands.
Guangxu was very depressed, but he couldn't tell Cixi what to do, after all, Cixi was his mother (actually his aunt).
Although Cixi and Guangxu look good on the surface, the real relationship is a sword, gun, and stick, and it is you who die.
We all know the historical reformists, in fact, Guangxu just wants to use the reformists to kill Cixi.
Wanting to kill Cixi, at that time Guangxu had Tan Si conspiring together, and Tan Si tong was going to kill Cixi in the Summer Palace.
However, at that time, he did not have an army, so Tan Sitong had to turn to Yuan Shikai for help.
When Tan Sitong asked Yuan Shikai for help, he went with a gun, and Yuan Shikai, seeing that the big thing was not good, pretended to agree to Tan Sitong, and when Tan Sitong left, he told Cixi about it.
It was only then that Cixi was not killed, and the six gentlemen of Wushu were heroic and righteous. Of course, Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao were also planners, but the two of them escaped, and Cixi did not catch them.
After this incident, Cixi imprisoned Guangxu in Yingtai.
As for the cruel things that Cixi did in the title, it is said that Guangxu was killed by Cixi. Guangxu died suddenly in 1908, when Guangxu was only 38 years old.
At that time, many people suspected that Guangxu was definitely not a normal death, but speculated that Cixi had killed him. However, there is no evidence.
It wasn't a hundred years later that Guangxu's mausoleum was opened and experts detected arsenic on Guangxu's clothes. There is no doubt that Guangxu was indeed poisoned.
In the eyes of many of us, the only person who can kill the emperor is, of course, Cixi. After all, at that time, Guangxu was already a puppet of Cixi.
Therefore, many people are sure that Cixi killed Guangxu and did such a cruel and inhumane thing.
However, it should be known that after Guangxu's death, the second Cixi also died suddenly.
It can be said that Cixi did not know that she would also die, because no one could be sure that she would die on that day. Therefore, there is no such thing as taking away Guangxu before Cixi died.
If Cixi knew that she was going to die, there was no point in killing Guangxu.
Therefore, the conclusion should be that this matter looks more like Cixi and Guangxu, who were killed by the same person. Instead of Cixi killing Guangxu, as for who the host behind the scenes is, it is not easy to guess.
At that time, Yuan Shikai had the greatest power, but he had no way to get close to the emperor and Cixi, and the one who could kill Cixi and Guangxu was definitely a eunuch, but who was the host?
