Before the death of the Xianfeng Emperor of the Great Qing Dynasty, knowing that his limit was approaching and his life was imminent, he was extremely worried that Zaichun, who was about to become the young emperor, lacked the arms of the auxiliary government, so Zhu Pen built a powerful auxiliary political group with a strong lineup, and appointed 8 reliable courtiers to form the "Eight Ministers of Gu Ming", and participated in the political auxiliary together with the empress dowagers Ci'an and Cixi of the Eastern and Western Palaces to consolidate the stability and longevity of the Qing Dynasty's political situation.
However, for the sake of imperial power and interests, Cixi enlisted his younger uncle Yi Bi to launch the "Xin You Coup" and jointly overthrew the Xianfeng Emperor's carefully selected auxiliary ministers Tiantuan.
In this deliberate and deep killing, Cixi even disregarded the ancestral system, and gave bai aya to Zaiyuan, the prince of the iron hat, and Duanhua the prince of Zheng, so that they hanged themselves, and at the same time tied up Prince Zheng's brother, the qing dynasty minister Sushun Wuhua, and showed the head of Yu Caishikou to the public.
On the day that Su Shun was killed, many of the Eight Banners disciples heard the news, chased after Su Shun's prison cart and scolded him, and after watching the beheading, they rushed forward, opening their mouths to eat the flesh on Su Shun's body, which really stunned the people of the capital who were watching from the sidelines!
In the late Qing Dynasty, Su Shun, who was also surnamed Ai Xinjueluo, was a royal family of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and his status was indeed noble, but what did he do to make those Eight Banner disciples hate him so much that they opened their mouths to eat their flesh?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="4" > the son of the imperial family of the Shu clan was appreciated by the Xianfeng Emperor, and eventually became a generation of courtiers</h1>
According to the "Genealogy of Aixin Jueluo" of the Qing Dynasty, in 1816, the side of the Zhengshen Prince Ur Gong'a gave birth to a son, that is, the 6th son of Prince Zhengshen, Aixin Jueluo Sushun.
Although Sushun was a descendant of the Great Qing Dynasty, he was unable to obtain a hereditary title of Feng Lu because he was the son of Shu Chu. When Su Shun was a teenager, he spent all day wandering in the street market well, and later found a position in the guard, and served for a long time.
However, people always have three luck and six joys, in 1836, SuShun was first enfeoffed as a third-class auxiliary general from Erpin, 6 years later as a Qianqingmen walker, in 1849 he was named the official position of Zhengsanpin who managed the inner garden of the imperial palace, don't look at this official position is not big, but it gives Sushun the opportunity to approach the emperor in the palace.
In 1850, the Daoguang Emperor died, and soon after the Xianfeng Emperor ascended the throne, Sushun was promoted to the rank of Cabinet Scholar and concurrently served as a ceremonial attendant.
It has to be said that the Xianfeng Emperor, who had far-sighted ambitions, was particularly intent on trying to rejuvenate the country, and he hated those pedantic ministers who only knew how to speculate on the holy will and were good at vassalage and cunning, so he secretly paid attention to looking for good ministers who were interested in reforming and eliminating the old and eliminating the maladministration.
Soon, Su Shun, who could speak and act boldly and was good at judging and scheming, entered the sight of the Xianfeng Emperor. In this way, Sushun went all the way to the top of the clouds, and in just 6 years, he became the imperial minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and concurrently served as the commander of the Han army with the yellow flag, it can be said that at that time, Sushun was deeply favored by the emperor and had become a generation of powerful ministers of the Xianfeng Dynasty, and he was extremely prominent.
How much power was there at that time, according to professional terms, but in charge of the three banners, the rule of the palace ban, and the affairs of households, officials, punishments, soldiers, and works.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="24" > scraped the bones of the Xianfeng Emperor's political situation, demonstrating the courage, boldness and talent of decisiveness</h1>
The Xianfeng Emperor was only 20 years old when he succeeded to the throne, and this young emperor, who held great power and exerted great efforts, was eager to do a big job in the hope of leading the Qing Empire to prosperity and glory.
The Xianfeng Emperor inquired about the treasury's savings and the funds of various places, but sadly discovered the helpless fact that the treasury was empty and the silver money was short, so the Xianfeng Emperor followed his father's example of The Daoguang Emperor and was frugal, while trying to get rid of bloated and redundant institutions and severely punish corrupt officials.
After a series of actions to save money and punish corruption, the national treasury was still dry, and at this time, there was a lot of banditry in the country and internal and external troubles.
The Xianfeng Emperor was anxious and asked Sushun what methods he could solve his problem, and Sushun bluntly said that although the disciples of the Eight Banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were numerous, they would only walk birds, prostitutes, and smoke big cigarettes, and the rest would not do anything! It is lazy and incompetent to this point, it is better to get rid of the salary and silver of these Eight Banners disciples, and use the treasury silver in the places where the country is prosperous.
As a reformer, Sushun touched the sore spots of the vested interests of the Qing Dynasty, and the Xianfeng Emperor agreed to Sushun's proposal and issued an edict to reduce the salaries of the Eight Banners.
Therefore, many of the Eight Banners disciples in the capital hated Sushun very much, and did not understand why he, as a Manchu nobleman, should treat his fellow clans or even the sons of the same clan so lightly.
In addition, advocating the re-administration of the country and the subordination of the country, he also personally handled major and important cases, with the aim of seriously rectifying those corrupt officials and those evil official phenomena that enriched themselves through favoritism and fraud.
In addition, SuShun walked in the official field for many years and found that most of the Han officials were intelligent and capable people, so Sushun vigorously promoted Han officials who reused the talents and supported a number of sages such as Zuo Zongtang, Zeng Guofan, hu Linyi, etc., and these sages also became strong braves in suppressing armed rebellions such as the Taiping Army, creating an indelible record.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="6" > the reason for Sushun's defeat: he only cares about turning the tide, but he does not know how to seek a safe life</h1>
After the Xianfeng Emperor returned to heaven in a crane, it was time for the ambitious Cixi to make up his mind to seize the imperial power and be solipsistic. At that time, Cixi quickly changed from a harem woman who was already gloomy and cold to a cruel and vicious heroine, that is to say, in order to smooth the road to power, she secretly began to plot to eliminate dissidents in the DPRK and China, and she was well versed in the struggle principle of "first strike is strong".
In order to grasp the supreme power in her hands at an early date, Cixi aimed the struggle at the eight ministers of Gu Ming, who also had the right to speak in the government, and among these eight ministers, the toughest and most upright was the Su Shun who would make the government and the opposition feel frightened.
For SuShun, a straight man, Cixi thought that he was the most uninteresting--when The Xianfeng Emperor was critically ill, Sushun had worried that once Cixi became the empress dowager, he would monopolize the imperial gang and the muji Sichen, and at that time, the Xianfeng Emperor's words proposing to get rid of Cixi did not explicitly oppose it, and the beginning and end of the matter eventually flowed into Cixi's ears.
Cixi gradually saw Sushun as a thorn in her eye, and soon colluded with Prince Gong Yishi to form an alliance of courts against Sushun's party.
In 1861, the Xianfeng Emperor died at the Chengde Palace, Cixi saw the opportunity to act, and Yi Bi launched a palace coup, known in history as the "Xin You Coup": Sushun was stripped of the power to control the Imperial Forest Army halfway back to Beijing, and the eight ministers who were ordered to be imprisoned, the punishment of slander and punishment, the execution of arbitrary charges, and the exile of exile according to the law.
Sushun was initially sentenced to Ling Chi's capital punishment, but later Cixi made a play from it, pretending to be gracious to Sushun, and sentenced Ling Chi to be beheaded instead. Su Shun was raided, but he was clean and honest, and the total amount of silver copied out of the mansion did not exceed 100,000 taels, and such a result made Cixi unable to find other reasons to plant stolen goods for a while. In the end, Cixi announced to the public that Su Shun was accused of disobeying the holy will of the two palaces and not providing necessities to the empress dowager.
On the day of the execution, Sushun stood in a wooden cage prison cart and was escorted to Caishikou, full of anger Sushun along the way and kept scolding the party traitors, and the supervisor asked someone to cut off Sushun's tongue, which was extremely cruel.
After Su Shun was killed, many of the onlookers rushed up and swallowed the skin and flesh on Su Shun's body with their mouths, as if they could release the hatred in their hearts.
The political situation of the Xianfeng Dynasty was mixed and changeable, and it could be described as complicated. Su Shun has the intention to reform and revitalize the rule, and has the courage to establish a code to eliminate shortcomings, although it has made the political arena a new atmosphere, but it has also become involved in the entanglement of interests and the formation of many grievances.
Even if SuShun is not a warrior and courtier who reforms and eliminates evil, as long as he is trusted by the emperor, he will inevitably be jealous of other courtiers, and Mu Xiu Yulin will be urged by the wind, and the "rectal" Sushun only cares about turning the tide and helping the crisis, not only offending a cadre of ministers in the middle of the country, but even touching the vital interests of the sons of the Eight Banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
To exaggerate slightly, Su Shun, who dared to think and dare to do, carried out drastic reforms and vigorously promoted the short-lived ZTE situation of the Xianfeng Dynasty, but his personality was not smooth and changeable enough, and he did not think about how to retire after his achievements and how to save his life after losing power, and it can also be said that his honesty and short-sightedness caused his tragedy.
Su Shun's death was like letting the dying late Qing government lose its top pillar, and there were no such talents in the Manchu Qing Dynasty after that, allowing the demon Queen Cixi to be arrogant and arbitrary, and within 50 years, it was completely brought to an end.
