The Qing Dynasty was the last dynasty in China's feudal history, and in general, it was actually a dynasty that did not have a good feeling, because it often brought some negative influences to modern people.
Especially in the last years of the Qing Dynasty, after experiencing the Opium War, the Chinese people have been subjected to the humiliation of the imperialism of western powers, and in the face of all unfair treatment, the Qing government has no power to fight back? For the Chinese people, this is simply a shameful history!
Today, let's talk about the Tongzhi Emperor among them.
Shockingly, the Tongzhi Emperor died shortly after he became an adult, what kind of story is implied in this? And listen to me slowly.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="16" > poor Tongzhi Emperor only lived to be nineteen years old</h1>
The Tongzhi Emperor Zaichun ascended the throne when he was six years old, and it is reasonable to say that the road to the emperor in front of him is still very long, but he died in a hurry after thirteen years on the throne.
Although the emperors of ancient times were not particularly long-lived, which was mainly due to the pressure of political affairs (the former harem and foreign enemies came to invade, etc.) and the underdeveloped medical level at that time, most of the emperors of the Qing Dynasty died at the age of fifty or sixty, of course, there are exceptions to Qianlong, who lived to the age of eighty-nine, which is also a high life expectancy in modern society.
But why did the Tongzhi Emperor, who was in the same dynasty as them, die shortly after he became an adult? Some people say that he died early because of his absurdity, and it is already a high life expectancy to live to the age of nineteen.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" Data-track="71" > strongly resisted Cixi's interference</h1>
Friends who know Cixi know that she is an extremely strong woman, who played a direct role in promoting the decline of the late Qing Dynasty, and was often ridiculed by some netizens as "a famous anti-Qing general".
The Tongzhi Emperor, who grew up next to Cixi, naturally could not escape her control, and as Cixi became more disciplined, Tongzhi could only feel disgusted.
On the matter of favoring the empress, the two of them had a great disagreement, cixi believed that the emperor should be widely spread in the harem, and could not spoil the empress alone; Tongzhi was the opposite.
Therefore, Cixi often interfered in the private affairs of the two, which put Tongzhi under pressure, so Cixi as a mother also had a certain responsibility as a mother on the question of why Tongzhi became absurd.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="72" > accidental encounter is also one of the triggers</h1>
After that, the Tongzhi Emperor met a courtier named Wang Qingqi in the Hanlin Temple, when he gave the emperor some picture books about the sexual love of men and women in order to shoot Tongzhi's ass, and Tongzhi, who had never seen this scene before, suddenly became interested, plus Tongzhi itself was high in the position of emperor, and basically few people could control him, so he began to embark on the road of debauchery even more debauchery.
There is also a prince's son Zai Cheng also "added oil and vinegar" in it, as a relative, he not only did not carry out the responsibility of exhortation, nor did he make any contribution to the construction of the Qing Dynasty, but constantly guided tongzhi the stinky diseases of his own pampering habits, so that he would devote his whole body to the land of flowers and wine, so that these bad habits would be vividly reflected in him.
Since then, the Tongzhi Emperor has become less and less fond of taking care of political affairs day by day, only wanting to hide in his own palace and have fun with his concubines, and when things are out of control, Cixi has just realized the danger, but everything is already too late.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="73" > what the historical Tongzhi emperors really were</h1>
According to the record of the "Great View of the Wild History of the Qing Dynasty", we can see the two major preferences of Tongzhi, one is to have fun and have fun, and the other is to love luxury.
Once the Tongzhi Emperor wanted to eat papaya, very happily approved several hundred taels of silver to private eunuchs, but because in the Qing Dynasty this fruit is rare, are supplied by a special department, so there is no need to spend money to buy, the Ministry of Internal Affairs really in order to buy a few papayas this kind of thing single on the report; in addition, fun is another vice of Tongzhi, many villains who only want to rely on flattery will do everything possible to coax Tongzhi to be happy and offer a lot of fresh things.
But in the end, the Tongzhi Emperor died prematurely, and there are many folk sayings, some people say that he died of terminally ill smallpox, and some people speculate that it may be syphilis, but the truth we do not know.
Perhaps it was the Qing government at that time that felt that this matter was absurd and humiliating, and in order to save the face of the royal family, it deliberately concealed the truth and did not let it be exposed.
"Lady, gentleman is good" This is a famous saying in the "Book of Poetry", which is still sung in people's mouths today, whether you are a noble son of heaven or a commoner, as long as you are a man, it is perfectly normal to like women.
However, when we do anything, it is very important to control a moderate, like the Tongzhi Emperor in the case, that is, to indulge too much in the affairs of men and women, resulting in their eventual indulgence and inability to extricate themselves, making a country face a dilemma, which is really a completely stupid thing.
Although history has not given a convincing account of the death of Emperor Tongzhi, and the truth has always been confusing, the Tongzhi incident has sounded a wake-up call for us!
