Shengbao made great contributions in helping the Empress Dowager Cixi launch the "Xinyou Coup". However, after Cixi seized power, only two years later, she killed the great hero Shengbao.

Shengbao, who stood on the right side in the palace coup, was brutally slaughtered by the Empress Dowager Cixi?

Because as the rulers of the Qing Dynasty, the Aixin Jueluo family was very taboo about the Manchus wanting to "support the army and respect themselves". Shengbao, as a Manchurian, tried to "support the army and respect himself", which touched the high-voltage line of the Aixin Jueluo family.

Probably out of discrimination against the Han people and disdain for the Han people, the top level of the Qing Dynasty actually did not care too much about the Han generals and Han military ministers "holding military power".

For example, Zeng Guofan's Hunan army repeatedly refused the Qing Dynasty's high-level request that the Hunan army quickly rescue the Jiangbei camp and go north to King Qin after the outbreak of the Second Opium War.

However, these actions of Zeng Guofan and Li Hongzhang, the highest level of the Qing Dynasty turned a blind eye and passed.

The only thing that is the Manchurian victory and protection wants to "control the military power" is a resolute blow, and it must be killed quickly.

Although the Qing Dynasty listed many crimes to Shengbao, but Shengbao's real death charge was to try to control the militia under the command of Miao Peilin, when Shengbao was transferred to Shaanxi by the Qing Dynasty to fight, Shengbao did not have a trustworthy army on hand, so Shengbao wanted to transfer Miao Peilin, who he was familiar with, to Shaanxi, after the Qing Dynasty center refused his request, Shengbao actually wrote a letter to Miao Peilin privately, asking Miao Peilin to take the troops north, at this time the Qing Dynasty center only issued an edict severely criticizing Shengbao's actions, and asked Shengbao to immediately stop recruiting Miao Peilin's army to go north, but Shengbao did not listen, and continued to order Miao Peilin's army to go northAs a result, the center of the Qing Dynasty used the Monk Lingqin horse team to force it, which made Miao Peilin's army stop going north.

As a Manchurian, Shengbao actually dared to "support the army and respect himself", which undoubtedly touched the high-voltage line of the Qing court, so he was immediately arrested, and then forced Shengbao to commit suicide.

When Shengbao died, even Qingliu pleaded with Shengbao, feeling that Shengbao "defeated the enemy's humiliation and lost the guilt of losing his teacher", and ordered Shengbao to commit suicide, which was too heavy.

To sum up, although Shengbao has helped Cixi and others to make great contributions, he has caused his personality and behavior to be too arrogant and has a poor relationship with the ministers of the court, coupled with the suspicion of supporting the army and self-respect, he must not be tolerated by Cixi.
