Cixi was a concubine of the Xianfeng Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and Ci'an was the second empress of Xianfeng.
Ci'an was only 16 years old when she was crowned empress, and she had no heirs in her lifetime, but the Xianfeng Emperor was extremely fond of her, so her status was always very high.
She is kind by nature, is a relatively weak person, and in all film and television dramas, Ci'an is a cowardly and incompetent puppet.
She is a vase-like presence in the curtain. Everything depends on Cixi, and nothing can be decided. Even when the Xianfeng Emperor was dying, he told Cixi that Ci'an was kinder, afraid that she would not be able to suppress the eight ministers. Seals given to Cixi's peers were used to suppress courtiers.
From here, it can be seen that Ci'an is really not suitable for managing the government, but in history, Ci'an is well educated and is a big girl, so she may not understand the government. But not too weak and incompetent.
What kind of person do you think Ci'an is? Who do you like more in history? Everyone says that history was compiled by the victors, but do you think that ci'an's history is true or false?
