In the last years of Qianlong, the Qing Dynasty fell into turmoil. Empress Dowager Cixi, a female empress of the opposition, could not escape the giant wheel of history. The reversal of the situation forced her to flee the Forbidden City and seek help to save her life.
After many hardships, Empress Dowager Cixi finally came to Qiao's house and asked the Qiao family for a loan of 100,000 taels with great anxiety. She knows that this request for help is not only to obtain financial support, but also to show her value and ability to win the protection of the Qiao family.
In the face of this request for help, Qiao's family did not take it lightly. The Qiao family was a large family in the Jiangnan region at that time, and they had a keen sense of history and were well versed in the laws and ruthlessness of dynastic changes. The appearance of Empress Dowager Cixi is undoubtedly a historical moment full of drama, and the Qiao family is full of curiosity and expectation for this.
However, the Qiao family did not blindly pursue power and interests. They take cultural admiration and historical inheritance as the core of the family, and for the arrival of Empress Dowager Cixi, they hope to peek into the historical truth and explore the value of history.
At the same time that Empress Dowager Cixi borrowed 100,000 taels from the Qiao family, the Qiao family also put forward a condition: Empress Dowager Cixi must write an article in the field of history for them, with a word count of no less than 2,000 words. This requirement is not harsh, but rather an expectation of Empress Dowager Cixi's wisdom and knowledge.
Empress Dowager Cixi accepted this challenge, knowing that writing this article would be the key to her victory for the protection of the Qiao family. So, she embarked on a unique historical expedition.
In a short period of time, Empress Dowager Cixi read a large number of historical books, visited historians and cultural celebrities, and personally visited some important historical sites. She gradually gained a deeper understanding of the changes in Chinese history and understood the twists and turns of power and intrigue in history.
In the end, Empress Dowager Cixi completed this article in the field of history, and the word count exceeded the requirements of the Qiao family, reaching 2500 words. She titled the article "Troubled Times: The Intersection of Power and Destiny."

The Qiao family decided to accede to Empress Dowager Cixi's request and provide her with the required 100,000 taels of money, and in return for this article, they rewarded Empress Dowager Cixi with a golden mirror inlaid with four large golden characters - "The wise man is in danger".
