Speaking of Cixi, it is estimated that everyone's first impression is that Cixi is a person who only cares about power and does not care about the overall situation. After all, everyone knows what Cixi looked like in the history of the mainland, and there are many dissatisfactions with Cixi as a person, but let's not talk about this struggle for power, let's talk about those secrets that Cixi is not known to people.
I don't know if you have read the book "Smelling Dust Puppets", this book was written in the twenty-first year of Guangxu, and most of the records are palm relics. This book has a little connection with the Cixi we are going to talk about today. Why is there a connection? Because this book records a secret story of Cixi. This incident could cause several doctors in the palace to be executed, but only one doctor left a living mouth.
Regarding the process of Cixi entering the palace, it is very old-fashioned, and the draft Huai Longzi ascends to the heavens step by step. Not to mention that Cixi was still pregnant with the future Tongzhi Emperor of the Qing Dynasty. After the Tongzhi Emperor ascended the throne, Cixi became the empress dowager. However, cixi's ambitions and the early death of the Tongzhi Emperor made Guangxu a puppet emperor and took over the state power himself. It is precisely in this way that daqing can be said to be firmly held in Cixi's hands, and Guangxu is just an empty shell emperor.
But Cixi was still very young at that time, so why should she put all her experiences on the country? Mainly because Cixi had already become the empress dowager, how could she marry someone else after marrying the emperor? However, Cixi was not stupid, and also left a back road for herself, presumably everyone guessed it. That's right, fornication. Cixi's affair with others was secretly carried out for several years. But at this time, the accident came, and Cixi, who was in her forties, was pregnant. Cixi panicked in a flash and found several doctors to consult her. There is no doubt that the result is the same.
However, this kind of royal secret doctor knew that he was not going to be killed, so the doctors who consulted at that time were basically executed. Only one doctor thought of a way to avoid being executed. What is this solution? It was to prescribe a dose of anti-fetal medicine to Empress Dowager Cixi and suppress this matter unconsciously. In this way, the Taiyi survived, and it was not until the demise of the Great Qing dynasty that he was able to write down this matter.
But in fact, the Forbidden City is a thin ice existence, and if you are not careful, there may be no tomorrow.
