Before dying, the Guangxu Emperor learned that the next emperor was Puyi, leaving 2 tearful words
Introduction: China has a history of thousands of years, from the Qin Emperor Han Wu, Tang Zong Song Zu, the history of each dynasty has bred many heroes. It was the emperor of the dynasty who was good at employing people, had wisdom and talent, and was proficient in all aspects of Wen Tao's martial arts.
Some emperors are good at recognizing and employing people, so that there is a generation of benevolent people who are loyal to them and restore the imperial dynasty; while some emperors are corrupt, abuse talents, or want to restore the imperial dynasty but have no real power, they are just puppets to be manipulated, and the final outcome is only the destruction of the country and the death of the family.
By the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Qing government was extremely corrupt, which led to the eventual decline of the Qing government. The Qing Dynasty went through twelve generations of emperors from its establishment to its decline, until puyi became emperor shortly after it became emperor, and the Qing Dynasty completely declined. At that time, the power of the state was in the hands of Empress Dowager Cixi, which also secretly foreshadowed the decline of the Qing Dynasty, and the national power of the Qing Dynasty was completely in the hands of young children and widows, and it was difficult to achieve long-term progress.
First, the Guangxu Emperor who suffered all his life
In 1875, during the Qing Dynasty, Empress Dowager Cixi's own son died, causing a lot of discussion in the DPRK and The Central Committee to discuss who would control the power next and how the situation in the DPRK would change. Some courtiers remained neutral, while others were on both sides. In order to consolidate her power and position, Empress Dowager Cixi began to bow to the government. However, there was no gimmick in listening to the government, so he embraced his sister's son as emperor, which is also known as the Guangxu Emperor.
The young Guangxu Emperor also had a miserable childhood, without the leisure and entertainment of ordinary children, and was controlled by Empress Dowager Cixi in the palace all day, hoping to train him to become a complete ruler. From a young age, we must listen to the politics of the DPRK, and although we cannot understand it, we cannot make noise, otherwise we will be punished.
The Guangxu Emperor was very annoyed, and he was the emperor himself, but he did not dare to do anything to trespass. Although the Guangxu Emperor was nominally an emperor, he had no real power in his hands, and the major affairs of the court were all controlled by Empress Dowager Cixi, and he had a very hard time in such a life.
Second, the Guangxu Emperor's rebellion failed
The Guangxu Emperor, who had suffered grievances and tribulations since childhood, grew up particularly quickly, and he had a more mature mind than other children. So when he finally grew up to be able to govern, he wanted to change the heavens of the dynasty and break this situation. At that time, Empress Dowager Cixi moved to the Yuanmingyuan, and the enthusiastic young people and intellectuals, mainly Kang Youwei and Tan Sitong, also wanted to change the chaotic situation in the DPRK. He jointly drafted a letter to the Guangxu Emperor to learn from the Western system.
The history of this change of law is called the Pengshu Change, and the influence at that time was also shocking to the government and the opposition, but the Guangxu Emperor was always in a passive position, and many ministers of the DPRK and China obeyed the orders of Empress Dowager Cixi and did not buy his account, and the Guangxu Emperor's change of law this time also finally came to an end. After this change of law, the Guangxu Emperor lost his superficial glory, and the failure of the change also led to the death of many intellectuals and patriots.
He himself was put under house arrest by Empress Dowager Cixi. Empress Dowager Cixi sent people to monitor him every day, and could not let him escape, and there was a limit to the number of food he sent every day and the number of clothes sent in the cold winter, which caused him to become crazy during the process of house arrest. In the end, he fell seriously ill in bed, and this confrontation between the Guangxu Emperor and Empress Dowager Cixi was a complete failure.
Third, after the death of the Guangxu Emperor, Puyi ascended the throne
By 1908, the Guangxu Emperor was already very ill, and when he was seriously ill, he heard rumors from his servants that Empress Dowager Cixi was going to make Puyi the new emperor. At that time, Puyi was also very young, so the Guangxu Emperor muttered to himself, wouldn't it be better for her to establish a new emperor and find an older one, but she was Empress Dowager Cixi, so how could she disobey her will?
This self-questioning and self-answer truly reflected the rise and fall of the Guangxu Emperor's life, and his life was at the mercy of Empress Dowager Cixi and the ministers of the court, and even his subordinates and slaves dared to bully him. His existence was nothing more than the authority of Empress Dowager Cixi to listen to the government, but it was just a pawn at the mercy of others.
Before the death of the Guangxu Emperor, he heard that Puyi was going to ascend the throne as the new emperor, and he was very impressed, thinking that Puyi was the next Guangxu Emperor. But what can he do, it is just a dying man. The end of the Qing Dynasty was corrupt and weak, and although the Guangxu Emperor had the ambition to restore the country, he also saw the situation in the Qing Dynasty at that time and needed to make a new change, and the change was one of them.
Conclusion: He wanted to do a big business with Kang Youwei and other people with lofty ideals, but his career was ruthlessly cut off by Empress Dowager Cixi before it began. The life of the Guangxu Emperor was tragic, and from an early age he was separated from his own mother, he had to sit in a position he did not like and be bullied by others, and was controlled by Empress Dowager Cixi.
He was a kind man, and until his death, when he learned that the young Puyi was going to be like him again, about to become the next pawn of Empress Dowager Cixi to control the power, he was still worried and hurt for Puyi. However, there are always variables in the fortunes of the country, and it is understandable whether it is good or bad to be controlled by those in power. It is a pity that the Guangxu Emperor's life, with ambitions, did not achieve great things. #历史 #
