"Whoever disturbs the peace of Pharaoh, the wings of death will descend upon him." This is an inscription in the tomb of Tutankhamun in Egypt. Throughout the ages, there have been countless such curses, and in the eyes of materialists, they are nothing more than words of intimidation against the enemy. After talking about foreign curses, we will talk about the curse legends with Oriental characteristics today to see if these curses have really been fulfilled.
On October 10, 1911, the Wuchang Uprising gave the Qing Dynasty a hard kick, and in a flash, this building that had lasted for more than 200 years collapsed, and in just a few months, the Qing Emperor from the negotiation to the abdication of the throne was completed in one fell swoop. Afterwards, some people discussed the reasons for the demise of the Qing Dynasty, some people said that it was caused by the tide of the times, some people believed that it was the collapse of the Qing government due to internal decay, and some older people were more gossipy, talking about the "curse theory".
It is rumored that the Yehenara tribe lived along the Yehe River in the northeast, which had friction with the Aisin Kyora tribe that later entered the Central Plains, and the two sides fought a war. Before the war, the leader of the Aisin Kyora clan pointed to the earth and said, "We are the most honorable gold on the earth."
The leader of Yehenara almost laughed and gasped, and pointed to the sun overhead with his horse whip and said, "What is gold, we call it." "It is true that gold may be buried in sand, but the sun will always shine in all directions. The Ai Xinjue Luo Clan, who suffered a loss in their mouths, simply did not pretend: Okay, then we will do it with real swords and guns.
I don't know if it was because of the home field advantage, Yehenara shined in this battle, beating Ai Xinjueluo to the ground to find teeth. In the end, the Aishin Kyora clan could only go away in sorrow, and Yehenara became the largest tribe in the northeast at that time. As the saying goes, feng shui took turns, and in the late Ming Dynasty, the Ai Xin Jue Luo clan brought people back again.
However, this time, the goddess of luck did not take care of Yehenara, because they encountered the Qing Taizu Nurhaci, or two brushes. In this battle, Nurhaci attacked the Yehenara tribe, and its leader Buyangu set a curse on the Aisin Kyora tribe before his death: Even if there is only one woman left in my Yehenara tribe, I will destroy the Jurchens of Jianzhou! Cai Dongfan once wrote in the "History of the Qing Dynasty" that When Nurhaci was repairing the temple, he dug up a stele with the inscription "Ye He the Destroyer of the State".
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Yehenarabu finally waited for the avengers of the family. In 1852, at the age of 17, Cixi was elected to the palace and given the title lan guiren. Four years later, Cixi gave birth to the xianfeng Emperor's only son, Zaichun (later the Tongzhi Emperor), whose mother was honored with the title of Concubine Yi.
At that time, the Qing Dynasty was in a turbulent period, and the Xianfeng Emperor was exhausted by internal and external affairs and was unwilling to personally approve the recital. Therefore, Cixi, who had better calligraphy, played the role of a clerk, dictated by the Xianfeng Emperor, she approved it, and sometimes the Xianfeng Emperor also asked Cixi to express his opinion, breaking the strict law that the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics. As a mother, Cixi gradually participated in the major affairs of the court and accumulated a lot of experience in handling government affairs.
After Xianfeng's death, Cixi ji removed the eight ministers of Gu Ming, and in one fell swoop pulled out the nails that Xianfeng had placed next to her before her death, starting a long career of obedience to the government, while the Tongzhi Emperor and later the Guangxu Emperor were squeezed aside, and the right to speak was seriously affected.
After the defeat of the Sino-Japanese War, in order to save the people and survive, the reformists led by Liang Qichao and Kang Youwei put forward the idea of restoring the new and changing the law, which was initially supported by Cixi. However, after the later restoration gradually entered the deep water area and touched the fundamental interests of the diehards, Empress Dowager Cixi revealed her true face and ordered the arrest and killing of the law change personnel and the abolition of most of the law change measures, so that the Qing Dynasty completely lost the opportunity to save itself.
On November 15, 1908, Empress Dowager Cixi swallowed her last breath at the Yiluan Hall. After a few years, the Ai Xin Jue Luo family, which ruled China for more than 200 years, faded away. Regarding the fall of the Qing Dynasty, Empress Dowager Cixi undoubtedly played a role in fueling the waves, "measuring the material strength of China, the joy of the country", the cub selling Ye Tian is not painful, this is the wife selling husband Tian is not painful, some people say that Empress Dowager Cixi buried the Jiangshan of the Ai Xinjue Luo family, this is a curse fulfilled? Or is there a coincidence in the dark?
