In 1908, the 73-year-old Empress Dowager Cixi died of illness and was buried a year later in the Dingdong Mausoleum, which took 13 years and cost 2.24 million taels of silver (converted to about 3 billion yuan) to build
Cixi was greedy for pleasure during her lifetime, and lived in a luxurious mausoleum after her death, which made many people feel sad: they all said that heaven is good for reincarnation, and the sky spares anyone. Why didn't Cixi, who brought disaster to the country and the people, receive the retribution she deserved?
Don't be sad, don't be sad, it's not that you don't report it, it's just that the time has not come. 20 years later, a man taught Cixi a good lesson, so that she realized what dignity was like when she was alive
In 1928, the Empress Dowager Cixi, who had been lying in the underground palace of Dingdongling for 20 years, was disturbed by a man, named Sun Dianying, and was nicknamed "Tanglin Thief"
Sun Dianying
In the spring of this year, the warlord Sun Dianying led his troops to drive away the mausoleum guards and broke into the Qing Dongling, aiming at the Qing Dynasty's most enjoyable woman, the Empress Dowager Cixi's Dingdongling...
After a loud "boom", the stone gate of the underground palace of Dingdongling was blown open, and the bandits swarmed up to Cixi's Huanghuali coffin
When the lid of the coffin was pried open, everyone present was frightened and turned blue, only to see that Cixi, who had been dead for 20 years, had a face like life, as if she was asleep
"What are you doing in a daze?", Sun Dianying scolded loudly, and the relieved bandits looted Cixi's body with their hands, the back press, and the treasures stuffed in the coffin...
Pu Yi, the last emperor who was far away in Tianjin, cried when he learned that the Qing Dongling Tomb had been excavated, and threatened to take revenge, and split Sun Dianying, a bastard who dug people's ancestral graves
However, after crying and scolding, Pu Yi suddenly found that he was Emperor Xun, and he was no longer the Qing Emperor who once called for wind and rain. After having a new understanding of himself, Pu Yi, who felt very lost, sat down on the cold bench...
In the winter of this year, the Tanglin Aftermath Committee was established, and President Pu Yi took a group of old and young people from the Qing Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty to carry out the aftermath work
After seeing the messy destruction of the once luxurious Dingdong Tomb by Sun Dianying and his gang, Pu Yi cried again, this time he cried heartbreakingly, liver and intestines, was he guilty of his ancestors, or sad about his own incompetence? His heart was very complicated
The once invincible Empress Dowager Cixi had been thrown out of the coffin at this time, leaning over the sewage. Everyone turned over Cixi's corpse together, only to see that it was covered with white hair more than an inch long, and Cixi's mouth was even more of a dagger's boss, and the priceless night pearl in her mouth had disappeared
On November 15, 1908, when Cixi was dying, she strained her mouth vigorously, and Li Lianying, who was waiting by the side, immediately understood what Lafayette meant, and immediately stuffed the night pearl that shimmered with cold light into her mouth
Li Lianying
It is said that this night pearl was a treasure that the Qing Dynasty's vassal states paid tribute to the Qianlong Emperor. This bead is the size of an egg, can be divided into two halves, when separated is dull, after being put together, even in the dark night when you can't see your fingers, you can see the hair within a hundred steps
"Alas...", Pu Yi sighed and then cried again, he was very sad about his grandmother's tragic experience, but he couldn't do anything, so he had to cry and scold to vent the depression in his heart. After a subdued and frustrated Beijing scolding, Pu Yi took the die-hard fans of the Manchu Qing Dynasty to collect the bones of the Empress Dowager Cixi, and then wrapped them in yellow cloth and put them back in the coffin
Where did Cixi's pearl of the night go?
After Sun Dianying's theft of Dongling was exposed, all walks of life were in an uproar, and calls for severe punishment of the murderer came and went. Lao Jiang was furious: "Niang Xipi, I arrested the one surnamed Sun..."
Sun Dianying, who got the news, was immediately stunned, and hurriedly used the stolen treasures to dot the Quartet. Emperor Qianlong's beloved Nine Dragons Sword was given by him to Dai Li, the director of the Military Command Bureau, but unfortunately this sword was finally buried in the fire with Boss Dai
The night pearl that the Empress Dowager Cixi held in her mouth, which was said to be worth 800 million, was given by Sun Dianying to Song Meiling, Lao Jiang's wife, and Song liked it very much, and embroidered the night pearl in two on her high heels. Later, in order to help Chiang raise military expenses, Song Meiling gave the Night Pearl to the American oil tycoon Rockefeller, and then disappeared
As the actual leader of the late Qing Dynasty, the Empress Dowager Cixi's arrogance and lasciviousness made people despicable; although she died well at the age of 73, she was not worthy of virtue, and there was already cause and effect in the dark
In 1928, Sun Dianying used an extremely violent way to make the Empress Dowager Cixi reap her own karma...
