Act 4, those who didn't watch it, climb the stairs and watch!
Act V: Take the
Empress Lu and Empress Zetian spoke impassionedly until midnight.
Cixi couldn't sit still, when the teahouse owner came in.
Boss: Sir, you settled the tea money! It's closing.
Piff: Okay. I pulled out a few sheets of Grandpa Mao and handed them over.
Boss: Sorry, we don't accept counterfeit money.
Pif: You can really open the country to play, take the money detector and walk!
Boss: There is no Jade Emperor printed on the money, who is this old man?
Piff: Yes, yes, I forgot. I don't have any Hades Coins either!
Boss: With so many rich women, there is no money yet?
You can't eat soft rice without a dime!
Cixi: This boss, let me come, he hasn't died yet.
Boss: Oh, this kid is really capable! Aren't you afraid of ghosts?
Pifu: I'm not afraid of people, I'm afraid of a ghost?!
Cixi bought the bill trembling and cleared her throat.
Cixi: After listening to the inspirational stories of my two sisters, I learned a lot! The biggest feeling is: I didn't catch up with the good times!
Empress Lu: What? Didn't catch the good times! What do you mean?
Cixi: I summed it up and found that both sisters were in the early stage of a dynasty, so they could show their skills and make great achievements, while I had to appear at the end of the Qing Dynasty. A mess, how to clean up!
Wu Zetian: Pull your pants in your pocket, if you appear in the early days,
It has long been lost by Xiaozhuang PK, without a trace!
Empress Lv: Thank you for being late in reincarnation! Daqing was okay when you took over! "Measure the material resources of China, tie the knot and the joy of the country" You see what you said, no matter how big the family business, when you meet a defeated old lady, you will finish the calf!
Cixi: Although the two sisters have opinions about me, Teacher Afu has not made a sound, his eyes are snowy! Right?
Pifu: On behalf of the Republic of China, I thank you!
On behalf of the Han people, I thank you!
Cixi: Look, it's still Teacher Afu who has insight!
Piv: Stop, Stop! You Teacher Alfu called me, my face was red, and my heart was beating faster!
Lu Wu and the two exchanged ears and laughed in private. Cixi thought she had my support and stood tall.
Cixi: I came from a small official family, and my father, Yehenara Huizheng, a man with the yellow banner in Manchuria, belonged to the Lower Five Banners, and after I developed, I rose to the Upper Three Banners. My father was a small civil official, and with his own efforts, he achieved the four-rank dotai step by step.
In the 2nd year of Xianfeng, in 1852 AD, I was seventeen years old, and I was drafted into the palace and given the title Lan Guiren.
In the 4th year of Xianfeng, he was a concubine of Jin.
In the 6th year of Xianfeng, I gave birth to Zaichun, the only prince of the Xianfeng Emperor, and Princess Yi of Jin.
In the 7th year of Xianfeng, Jin Feng Yi was a noble concubine.
I was born beautiful, worked in calligraphy and painting, and promoted quickly,
It didn't go through too much fighting for favors.
Wu Zetian: I think you are just a mother and a son.
Cixi: The same can be said! The Xianfeng Emperor was weak and sick, and at that time there were Anglo-French forces and the Taiping Rebellion. Internal and external troubles made him haggard. I worked in calligraphy, so the Xianfeng Emperor often dictated and asked me to ghostwrite and review the recitals, and allowed me to express my opinions. That's when my political foundation was laid!
In August 1861, the Xianfeng Emperor died in Rehe. My son Jaechun ascended the throne, and I was honored as Empress Dowager Nakagu at the time. Gu ordered the eight ministers to attempt to dictate power, so I joined forces with Yixun the Prince of Gong, the younger brother of the Xianfeng Emperor who was presiding over the peace talks in Beijing, launched a coup d'état between Xin You, designed to arrest the eight ministers, and sentenced Prince Yi Zaiyuan and Prince Zheng Duanhua to self-discipline, Sushun to be decided, and the others to dismissal. Yi Xun was made the Prince of Parliament.
Act VI: Curtain Hearing
In December 1861, the year name was changed to "Tongzhi", and my son was only 5 years old when he succeeded to the throne, and I began to obey the government!
In the early days of his reign, with the assistance of Wang Yixuan, he rectified the rule of officials, reused Han Chen, and relied on the armed forces of Han landlords such as Zeng Guofan, Zuo Zongtang, and Li Hongzhang; It successively suppressed the uprisings of the Taiping Rebellion, the Twister Army, the Miao People, and the Hui People, alleviating the crisis of rule of the Qing Dynasty and temporarily stabilizing the Qing Dynasty.
After 11 years of Tongzhi, Zai Chun was 17 years old, and I returned to politics with a roll of curtains, but he has always been subject to my interference.
In January 1875, the 19-year-old Tongzhi Emperor died of illness. Due to childlessness, I made Emperor Xianfeng's nephew, 4-year-old Aisin Juelo Zaiman emperor, and changed the year name to "Guangxu".
The curtain is drooping again!
In April 1881, Empress Dowager Ci'an suffered a cerebral hemorrhage and died at the age of 45. Your folk history thinks that I killed her, but in fact, I really didn't do it, the power has always been in my hands, there is no need to kill her.
In April 1884, I launched a change in the situation of the Kashin Yi Shu dynasty, deposed the minister of the Military Aircraft Department headed by Yixuan, and began a dictatorship.
In February 1889, Guangxu got married, nominally ruled by the Guangxu Emperor, but I trained for several years.
In 1894, Japan launched the Sino-Japanese War. I fought with the Guangxu Emperor in the main battle, and "no weak words are allowed." Later, the Qing army lost one after another in the Korean battlefield, the Beiyang Naval Division was completely destroyed, and both Chinese naval and land battlefields were defeated. The main peace faction headed by me was determined to seek peace with Japan. In March, he sent Li Hongzhang as Minister Plenipotentiary to Japan to beg for peace. On April 17, the Treaty of Shimonoseki, an unprecedented and humiliating treaty in Chinese history, was signed.
After the defeat of the Sino-Japanese War, the great powers set off a frenzy to divide China. In order to save the survival of Tuchang, in June 1898, Guangxu issued the emperor "Ming Ding Guo is an edict" and implemented the law change. His change of law touched the interests of the old Manchurian aristocracy and many feudal bureaucrats, who gathered to vigorously oppose the change. When I heard that the Guangxu Emperor was trying to get Yuan Shikai to send troops to besiege the garden and kill me, I joined forces with the ministers who opposed the change of law to stage a coup d'état, detained the Guangxu Emperor, and executed Tan Si and six others.
After the Boshu coup, the Boxer Rebellion arose in northern China, which I initially suppressed, but the repression failed repeatedly, and the Boxers developed rapidly and entered Beijing. The British and French powers demanded that the Qing government completely annihilate the Boxers, and insisted on transferring troops into Beijing despite the opposition of the Qing government. I have always been dissatisfied with the foreigners, so I came up with the idea of using the Boxers to fight against the great powers and declare war on the great powers. In the end, it still failed.
On August 14, 1900, the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded Beijing; In the early morning of the next day, attacking the Donghua Gate of the Forbidden City, I fled to Xi'an with the Guangxu Emperor, Empress, and others, made Yixi and Li Hongzhang plenipotentiary ministers, negotiated with the great powers, put the responsibility for the war on the Boxers, and ordered the Boxers to be "painfully eradicated."
I gave in again, "Measure the material resources of China, and make the country happy." This sentence was said at that time, hey, I can't help it, if I don't do this, I will die in the country.
On 7 September, the "Xinxiu Treaty" was signed with 11 imperialist countries, stipulating that 450 million taels of silver should be paid according to the amount of Chinese at that time, 980 million taels of silver within 39 years, punishing the main war officials, and dismantling all artillery batteries along the route from Dagu to Beijing.
In 1904, the Russo-Japanese War broke out, the battlefield was in northeast China, the Qing government declared neutrality, and the result of the war was Japan's victory over Tsarist Russia. People in China generally realized that constitutional monarchy was superior to absolute monarchy, and demanded constitutional reform by the Qing government. In 1906, a preliminary constitution was announced, and in 1908, the Outline of the King James Constitution was promulgated, modeled on the German and Japanese constitutions, and the emperor's "sovereign power" was maintained.
In 1908, due to Cixi's passage of photo diplomacy, US President Roosevelt signed a bill to refund Gengzi more than 10 million US dollars in reparations, mainly to support Chinese government-sent students studying in the United States. After that, Britain, France, Belgium, Italy, the Netherlands and other countries successively; The total amount of "overflow" returned by the seven countries to China is about 300 million taels of customs silver, which is quite effective in establishing education.
Piff: Sorry to interrupt. I'll analyze it and see if it makes sense. Among these great powers, Japan and Russia are bandits, the worst! Their purpose is not only to kill people and cross goods, but also to rob your land! America belongs to the boss, gives you the opportunity to develop, be my worker, exploit you economically for a long time, and take a long-term view. Until now, some hospitals, famous schools, financial institutions and other institutions in Beijing still have shares of the US government! (Interested fans can Baidu) and other countries, that is, punks, collect a protection fee and rob you of something.
Wu Zetian: Mom, how beautiful is that photo of yours! Got Roosevelt hooked? It's so valuable, worth 300 million taels of silver! Are you beautiful? Or are you looking for someone to PS?
Pifu: Sister Wu, let me answer this question, Lafayette was over 60 years old at that time, where could he still be handsome? It's not you again, more than 70, still like a little daughter-in-law. At that time, James James, president of the University of Illinois in the United States, said in a memorandum to Roosevelt in 1906: "Whichever country can educate this generation of Chinese youth will reap the greatest gains from the spiritual and commercial impact of the efforts paid in this regard." He therefore urged the U.S. government to take steps to create a new group of leaders who will dominate China intellectually and spiritually for the United States by attracting Chinese students. Awesome!!
On November 14, 1908, the Guangxu Emperor died, the emperor had no heirs, and I appointed Zaifeng the Prince of Alcohol as the regent, and his son Puyi as the emperor, and the year name Xuantong, I was honored as the empress dowager.
On November 15, 1908, I died of illness at the Zhongnanhai Yiluan Hall at the age of 74.
My last words said: "After that, women must not hear about the affairs of the country. This is contrary to the family law of this dynasty and must be strictly restricted. In particular, it is necessary to strictly guard against the eunuchs, and the things that are not allowed to be unauthorized to eunuchs can be used as a guide! I also knew that the women couldn't do something big, it was too late.
Pifu: Ye Shi said that you poisoned the Guangxu Emperor before he died, right?
Cixi: Nonsense, the military and political power is in my hands, why poison him? The Qing royal family was already bleak, he died, and it was difficult to find someone else. Besides, although I was seriously ill at the time, I don't know when I died. It's all to blame that these grandchildren don't study well, and they mess with the palace maids at a young age, and one by one they are either sexually impotent or flower willow disease. I also blame these troublesome palace maids for seducing these children, all hoping to learn from me and give birth to a son to ascend the throne. Maybe it's because the period of the Great Qing is exhausted, so that there are no babies for ten years!
Empress Lu: Hahaha, it's funny, it seems that you Manchus,
I'm embarrassed to say it.
Wu Zetian: What are you embarrassed to say? Look at me!
Hahaha, it's funny, it seems that you Manchus,
Women are not easily satisfied, but men are satisfied!
Cixi: Cao, for the sake of Teacher Afu's face, I endured 13,000 words. Apart from the cool wind, what else can there be? If you were in my time, you would still be playing! You will deal with a woman, a man, or a Xijong Beihu, no matter how powerful they are, they are also people! What about me? I'm a little excited and about to curse! I'm fucking dealing with devils! I also fought with them at first, but no, people are strong boats and cannons, and we are still playing with big knives!
Empress Lv: Isn't your Beiyang Navy Master very good! Known as the most advanced in the world at that time, why did he still play with a big knife? Did you spend all your military expenses on your birthday and the Summer Palace? "Whoever displeases me today, I will make him unhappy for life", is this what you said? In order to build a nest, in order to live a 60th birthday, the country does not care !?
Cixi: I said it, it's just angry words. Isn't it also done from the beginning? Continue to fight, but you can't fight ah, the army equipment in the Korean battlefield is incomparable with the devil; The equipment of the Beiyang Naval Division is good, however, the quality of the soldiers is not good, the training is poor, they have not fought in real combat, and they have no experience at all! Can only be killed in seconds!
Pifu: I understand this, it's like a child holding an AK47 to fight with a strong man, the gun can't be held, and he is slapped down. Japan was already researching and designing aircraft carriers at that time, and we were still selling small windsurfing boards from Germany.
Cixi: Makes sense! I love to listen to Af.
Cixi is getting closer and closer, and now even the teacher is saved! I'm really worried that she will throw the word "A" in the next sentence! I have to get her to dispel this ambiguous idea!
Pifu: Lafayette, I would like to say two words about you here, before the Sino-Japanese War, the Beiyang Navy Division had misappropriated several million taels of military expenses every year to repair the Summer Palace, and the maintenance level of the fleet was extremely low. The Japanese fleet, the whole country cut back on food and clothing just to strengthen the navy, in fact, there was no war, and the victory was decided. For example, I hold a shiny pig-killing knife, and you hold a heaven-leaning sword that cannot be pulled out of rust, and when the martial arts are similar, who destroys whom? Besides, you should also let Li Hongzhang take good care of his sailors, and don't let them dry their pants on the barrels of warships! How unlucky!
Cixi: Well, I'm confused.
Pifu: But thank you, if you hadn't repaired the Summer Palace, how would you be able to collect tickets every day!?
Empress Lv: Teacher Pifu, let's talk slowly first, I drank too much tea and got drunk, so I found a substitute to drive back.
Wu Zetian: I'm leaving too, my ears are a little numb! My driver slept all overnight.
Pifu: Don't worry about the two sisters, are you okay? You've all talked so much, I haven't said two yet!
Cixi: Makes sense! I love to listen to Af!
Pifu: Don't be happy with that sister, I still have to say two things about you. Dead are dead, why do you arrange for people to put so many valuable jewels in your tomb after death? According to the "Notes on Ai Yuexuan" written by Li Lianying and his nephew: The pearl on your pearl phoenix crown that is as big as a chicken's egg is worth 10 million taels of silver, which is equivalent to two years of tax revenue for the Qing government at that time! The pearl gemstones inside, not calculated by pieces, are paved a few feet thick!
Empress Lu: How good it is for you to exchange these for money and equip the army. There is no need to suffer from the anger of these devils. I already knew that these Yin Guo eggs were bullying us, so I didn't kill Han Xin first, gave him 20,000 soldiers, and didn't need to build ships, and everyone rode over and could destroy them. It's not a blow, just 3 months!
Wu Zetian: This Fusang dog! No, at that time, they were still not as good as pigs and dogs! They didn't even have a word of their own, so they came to learn from us. If I knew that, I should have gone and destroyed them! It's not that you, what are you doing in the tomb with so many good things!
Cixi: I don't want to have a better life here after I die.
Piff: What? What an egg! Tell you something, don't be sad, 20 years later, in 1928, the warlord Sun Dianying blew up your grave, looted the treasures, sent them, sold them. It is said that the big-headed soldiers under him ruined your face in order to take the night pearl in your mouth, and you don't know where to lose your head. Peel off your corpse, and you are lying on the coffin with your butt cocked. It is said that a soldier saw that you were still a little posed, and he took you that. Of course, this puppet does not believe it, in the face of so many babies, even if you lie there with your ass when you are young, it is estimated that no one will pay attention!
Cixi trembled when she heard this, her face was ghostless, the cup fell to the ground, and tea was spilled all over her chest.
Pifu: This is also what you found yourself, didn't Sun Dianying and his father stand up for the villagers, said a few fair words, offended your banner people, and was arrested and sent to prison, and he was killed on the same day. Sun Dianying left for his hometown after learning this, and before leaving, the villagers saw him off, and Sun Dianying swore to heaven that if he achieved something in the future, he would definitely cut off the Manchu Qing dragon vein. He is also a hero and does what he says! But don't be sad either, you also avenge yourself. This Sun Dianying was captured by the People's Liberation Army during the civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party in 1947, and later died in a war criminals detention center. How did he get sick and die? To put it bluntly, I used to smoke too much opium, and I died of opium poisoning. Didn't you not ban opium at that time, which is equivalent to curve revenge.
Cixi is still ghostless, "two wars, almost want to go first"!
Pif: I won't say more, it's not good to scare you to death again. Now let's give the three of you a short and powerful summary!
Empress Lu: First of all, you should thank your father for giving you a good husband.
You and your son ruled for 15 years, maintaining social stability, employing people properly, and resting with the people. Politically successful. It laid the foundation for the upcoming reign of Bunjing. It's just that there are too many killings, and Lü Lu and Lü Shan are reused in their later years, and the late festival is not guaranteed.
Wu Zetian: You should thank your parents for giving you a good set of genes!
The girl is not only handsome, but also majestic! There is the amount of tolerance, the wisdom of knowing people, and the art of using people! In political, economic, military and other aspects, the merits are greater than those of Empress Lu. But why does Pifu say that Queen Lu is the best? Because she started a business with her husband, she was self-made, and she almost decided the world with Liu Bang! Do you know how difficult it is for an ordinary-looking woman to go into the sea? You also belong to the late festival insured type, not anything else, mainly a matter of life style.
Cixi: For you, I don't want to say more, or that sentence:
On behalf of the Republic of China, I thank you!
On behalf of the Han people, I thank you!
Pifu: Regarding the style of Wu Meiniang, to borrow a phrase from our contemporary times, it is:
All hooligans who do not aim to have children are in love
The sky is slightly white, and the big rooster of my hometown has croaked.
I crossed back again, naked.
Except for a little less muscle, much like Schwarzenegger in the Terminator...
The whole drama ends.
