#为什么光绪皇帝不能夺了慈禧的权 #
Since Qin Shi Huang created the word and system of emperor, the emperor system has become the biggest feature of ancient Chinese politics, and the emperor himself has become the key to the rise and fall of the country.
The power of the emperors of different dynasties was different, Yang Jian, as an emperor, wanted to marry a small wife, and Tang Taizong's attitude towards meritorious people was mainly based on rewards.
Song Taizu was, on the other hand, to release the military power with a cup of wine, and let them go home and be a rich man, and when zhu Yuanzhang came here, he was the biggest in the world of Lao Tzu, and he could kill whoever he wanted.
Some emperors are tired to vomit blood, such as Qin Shi Huang Yongzheng, some emperors have not been in the dynasty for decades, such as Jiajing and Wanli Emperor, these emperors in history are all kinds of different.
But from Qin Shi Huang to Puyi, imperial power has a clear feature, that is, on the whole, the emperor's power is getting bigger and bigger, and in the Qing Dynasty, the peak of imperial power has been achieved.
But history is so ironic, at the end of the Qing Dynasty, when the imperial power reached its peak, there was an era when all the imperial power of the two dynasties fell by the wayside, which is the famous era of Cixi, from Tongzhi to Guangxu, Cixi has always firmly held the supreme power of the Qing Dynasty.
Many people have a question, judging from the existing records, the Guangxu Emperor was also an emperor who wanted to do something, so why couldn't he seize the power of Cixi?
There are many people who hold this kind of thinking, and for many years they have a simple mind, simply saying that they have assassinated Cixi and solved everything, which is actually a lack of understanding of power, and the power of a country is understood as a gang fight.
The source of a country's supreme power, except for the founding emperor, must be maintained by the patriarchal system, that is, everyone has to listen to the emperor, and I am the emperor, because my father is the emperor.
The reason is so simple, immediately fight the world, can not immediately rule the world, the legitimacy of the later rule, is this traditional patriarchal relationship, the father dies and the son succeeds the heavens and the earth.
So since the imperial power reached its peak in the Qing Dynasty, how did Cixi gain the highest power, the answer is still the patriarchal ethical system, the core theory of feudal society is that the state is an expanded version of the home.
It is very normal for the youngest son to succeed to the throne and the empress dowager to come to the throne, then there is not a minister of gu order, the problem lies in the minister of gu order, when the emperor was still young, there were two forces, which could legitimately exercise the highest power on behalf of the emperor.
One is the minister of orders, the other is the empress, and the specific force is in power, it depends on the specific game situation between the two sides, and no one is more legitimate in legal theory.
As a result, The Minister of Gu Ming was a bit careless, thinking that Cixi and Tongzhi were orphans and widows who were good bullies, especially Cixi was very young at that time, only 26 years old, and the Ministers of Gu Ming were all a bunch of old foxes, they never thought that the young Cixi, who had no small ambitions, united with Prince Gong to launch the Xin You coup, and since then Cixi has taken over the supreme power of the Qing Dynasty.
After Tongzhi died, it was Guangxu, Guangxu was also a puppet emperor, and Cixi cultivated a large number of cronies in these decades, firmly grasping everything in the Qing Dynasty.
But Guangxu is not without opportunities, that is, he once ruled for a short time, but it is a pity that The overly excited Guangxu wants to reform and change the law, which is too radical, so that it violates the interests of many people.
In this case, Cixi imprisoned the Guangxu Emperor, arrested the main members of the change, and created the Massacre of the Six Gentlemen of Wushu, and from the perspective of reality, the Guangxu Emperor had almost no chance of winning.
He had no experience in ruling, and his brief reign exposed this, as the Manchu Dynasty was dominated by Cixi's hand,with only a few supporters of the emperor, all of whom were talkers or people without real power.
The most core reason is that Cixi's power is legitimate, and the imperial power in feudal society is supreme, which is of course true, but from a legal point of view, the empress dowager can abolish the emperor, which is from the perspective of the same origin of the family and the country.
Cixi held the highest power, and it was a legitimate act, there was no situation of trespassing, and if it was urgent, Cixi could abolish Guangxu, although the possibility was very small, but after all, there was such a possibility.
For an emperor who grew up in the deep palace, his insight and ability were not enough for him to think of any way to get rid of Cixi's control.
The latest research results show that Guangxu was poisoned by Cixi, just the day before Cixi's death, it can be seen that Cixi's power at that time was already large enough to execute Guangxu at will, and in this situation, there was really no possibility of seizing power.
