In 1945, with a "boom" sound, Huiling was blown apart. Tomb robbers led by Wang Shaoyi rushed in and found that there was only a pile of white bones left under the dragon robe of the Tongzhi Emperor, while the female corpse lying next to him was neatly dressed and bright.
The imperial clothes on her body were ripped clean inside and out, and the phoenix crown on her head was also snatched away. The tomb robber looked at the female corpse with a lifelike face, thought for a moment, and actually took out a sharp knife, stabbed it fiercely, and cut open her stomach.
Why are grave robbers so cruel? I'm afraid it starts with the identity of this female corpse.
The empress of the Tongzhi Emperor, the Alut clan, can be called the most tragic empress of the Great Qing Dynasty.
She only served as empress for two years, and died in only 75 days after the death of her husband Tongzhi, and she did not enjoy the glory of being empress for a day.
Just because her mother-in-law is Cixi, what is more fatal is that Cixi especially does not welcome this daughter-in-law.
From beginning to end, she was not Cixi's favorite candidate.
In 1875, the 17-year-old Tongzhi Emperor was about to get married and chose his empress among a bunch of showgirls.
Cixi was very anxious, not because he was worried about his son's life events, but after Tongzhi's marriage, it meant that he was about to become pro-government, and he could only retire to the harem.
Tongzhi ascended the throne at the age of 6, and his mother, Empress Dowager Ci'an, and Empress Dowager Cixi, have been obedient to government for more than ten years.
Ci'an was weak-tempered, but in fact the supreme power of the Qing government was firmly in Cixi's hands.
Once you taste imperial power, you don't want to let go.
Nowadays, Cixi, who has a great desire for power, wants to return to the emperor, and she is naturally unwilling.
Therefore, on the occasion of Tongzhi's wedding, Cixi wanted to install an inner application next to his son, and the young and beautiful Fucha clan was the best candidate.
But Ci'an on the side objected, she thought that although the Fucha clan was outstanding, her behavior was frivolous, how could she have the slightest motherly appearance?
Ci'an took a fancy to the Alute clan, she came from a family of officials and eunuchs, and her father was the only bannerman in the Qing Dynasty, Yuan Chongqi.
The tiger father has no dog daughter, and the Aluth clan has virtue and deeds, and should be canonized as empress.
Cixi looked at the 19-year-old Alut clan and felt that she was more difficult to control than the 13-year-old Fucha clan.
What's more, the maternal grandfather of this Alute clan was Duanhua the Prince of Zheng. Duanhua had a feud with Cixi in his early years and was given Bai Aya to commit suicide.
Prince Zheng's concubine Fujin was Ci'an's aunt. In a way, the Arut clan was also a close confidant of Ci'an.
Ci'an wants to promote his cronies to the position of empress, thereby promoting his status, which Cixi cannot tolerate no matter what!
The Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces quarreled fiercely, and finally handed the decision into the hands of Tongzhi.
Cixi triumphantly believes that his son, who has always coveted beauty, will definitely choose the beautiful and charming Fucha clan.
Unexpectedly, Tongzhi didn't even look at the Fucha clan, took the hand of the Arut clan without thinking, and smiled at Ci'an.
Cixi was angry, originally Tongzhi was closer to Ci'an, and she was very jealous. After this incident, the son will only get further and further away from himself.
She also didn't want to think about it, if it weren't for her enthusiasm for power and profit, and little concern for her son, Tongzhi could only run to Ci'an for comfort every time he was scolded by Cixi.
In the end, in order to save face, Cixi still shoehorned the Fucha clan into the harem and made her a concubine.
And Tongzhi and the empress had a strong relationship and ignored Concubine Hui, and at this moment, Cixi's plan was completely ruined.
New hatred plus old hatred, Cixi vented all the anger in her heart on the empress, she changed her methods every day to harass the empress, even forbade the emperor and empress to meet, and forced Tongzhi to sleep with Concubine Hui.
Seeing that his mother was so strong, the young and vigorous Tongzhi simply did not go on either side, but sneaked out of the palace and lingered in Fireworks Willow Lane.
Somehow, Tongzhi, who was only 19 years old, got sick and lay on the bed and sighed.
At this time, a "creak" sound attracted the attention of Tongzhi. The queen is quietly walking in to visit her husband, whom she has not seen for a long time.
Tongzhi burst into tears, took the queen's hand, and said excitedly: "The queen is patient and patient for the time being, and when she recovers, there will always be a day to come out!" ”
Unexpectedly, these words were heard by Cixi outside the door.
She believes that with the support of the emperor, is it possible that the empress will be reversed in the future?
The enraged Cixi snatched the door and entered, facing the empress, it was a stinky scolding that slashed her head and covered her face, grabbed her hair while scolding, and dragged her out violently.
A large handful of hair and scalp were ripped off by Cixi, and the scene was chaotic and bloody.
The empress kept wailing, and said anxiously: "The daughter-in-law was brought in from the Great Qing Gate, and I also asked the Empress Dowager to keep the dignity of a daughter-in-law!" ”
Who knows, when Cixi heard this, she became even more angry, and who didn't know that she Cixi had never been an empress?
Not only did she not stop, but she also made the eunuchs scold. The queen was beaten to a bloody blur, so she had to be carried back.
Tongzhi next to him was full of grief and indignation, spewing out a mouthful of old blood, and his condition became more and more serious.
Soon after, at the age of 19, Tongzhi died of a serious illness, leaving no heirs. Just 75 days later, the 21-year-old Empress Alut also passed away.
There have always been three theories about the cause of her death.
One is to die martyred. Since Tongzhi's death, the empress was overwhelmed with grief, and Cixi said coldly: "Since the empress is so sad, you should go with the emperor of Daxing!" ”
The second is suicide by hunger strike. Later, Tongzhi's cousin Guangxu was the new monarch, and Cixi could continue to obey the government as empress dowager, and Empress Alut became an embarrassing existence.
Cixi confined her to the palace without food, and Empress Aluth starved to death.
The third is suicide by swallowing gold. Cixi summoned Empress Arut's father, Chongqi, and threatened him with the death of his daughter if he wanted to save the family.
Chongqi made up her heart and sent her daughter a food box, which contained only one word "death"! Empress Aluth was so desperate that even her father let herself die, so she committed suicide by swallowing gold.
70 years later, when the tomb robbers who broke into Huiling saw the undecomposed Empress Aluth, remembered the rumors that she committed suicide by swallowing gold, and felt that there must be gold embalming in her stomach, so she brutally opened her stomach to find out.
As a result, they were greatly disappointed, and there was no gold in their stomachs at all! After looting the gold and silver jewelry in the mausoleum, Wang Shaoyi and others slipped away.
But soon, Wang Shaoyi, who had stolen 20 kilograms of gold, was arrested and sentenced to death.
As for the real cause of death of Empress Arut, Puyi mentioned in "My First Half of Life" that she died of hunger strike after falling ill. Whether it is active or forced, no one knows.
What about being in the royal family? Even if you live a glamorous life, you can't even live in peace after death!
Arut's life was tragic, forced to be involved in a palace as deep as the sea, and once there was no backer, he would become a victim.
