Most of the emperors pursued a long life
Listening to the people below all day long live long live
Although I don't have the luxury of really living a long life
But life expectancy goes up to three digits and down
It's still promising
A total of 12 emperors appeared in the Qing Dynasty
The Kangxi Emperor lived for 68 years and reigned for 61 years
He is the longest reigning emperor in the history of our country
Qianlong surpassed his grandfather and lived to the age of 88
It's just that when you get to the back of Tongzhi, you can't do it
Tongzhi only lived for 19 years before he died
He is the shortest-lived emperor of the Qing Dynasty
His death also left a great mystery for future generations
In the main history, it is said that the Tongzhi Emperor suffered from smallpox and died
There are also no histories that say he died of syphilis
Why are there two different ways of saying that?
In fact, we must start with the absurdity of Tongzhi
Tongzhi Emperor Ai XinJue Luo Zaichun
He was the only biological son of Empress Dowager Cixi
He was also the sole heir of the Xianfeng Emperor
Tongzhi was only 6 years old when he succeeded to the throne
Before his death, the Xianfeng Emperor feared for his son's young age
Unable to gain a foothold in the court
Eight ministers were carefully selected to assist their sons
Strictly ordered the two empresses not to interfere in politics
But it backfired the eight ministers who took care of their orders did seem to have a lot of power
But in less than ten days
They were ousted by conservative members led by Cixi
The Qing Dynasty came under Cixi's control
Tongzhi was nominally emperor
But he had never been exposed to government affairs until he was 17 years old
It can be said that Cixi did not allow him to take over at all
And from the time he was between the ages of 6 and 17
All of these 11 years have been spent reading
Although the book should be read well regardless of the matter
Cixi hired many ministers to teach Tongzhi
It can be said that he was a teenager and ruled by tongzhi
Almost enjoyed the Qing government at that time
The best teacher resources you can find
Normally tilted in so many educational resources
Tongzhi should be a good emperor who is young and promising
But it is a pity that Tongzhi's absurd behavior
From this point on, it was completely exposed
Tonggong was once instructed to teach Tongzhi
That's what he said
On the seventh day of the first lunar month, the emperor read early and its rambling
And left early as usual
By the ninth day of the first lunar month, it was even more rambunctious and extremely perfunctory
Later, it was very difficult to read a book
I told him that I couldn't say anything at all
It was a lot of work, and I really couldn't do it
It can be seen that although Tongzhi received the best education
But this person is not the material for reading at all
I happened to be born in the emperor's house, and everything was forced to do
At the age of fifteen, Tongzhi had just begun to contact government affairs
He said to the teacher to manage the affairs of the country
It's a chore that he doesn't like to do
Compared to other emperors
The first ten years of Tongzhi can be said to be too comfortable
Unlike other emperors of the Qing Dynasty
It took various problems to reach the position of emperor
His emperor was too simple and easy
Everything is at Cixi's disposal
There was too little he could do
This leads to Tongzhi not cherishing anything very much
And developed a bad habit of coveting fun
Tongzhi once went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to apply for money
And one is a few hundred taels of silver
Logically, this little money is nothing to him
But the purpose of his money was to buy papayas
Although papaya belongs to the product of the South
Shipping to the north may be a little more expensive
But a few hundred taels of silver really don't know how much to buy
This can be seen in his actions alone
He had no idea about prices within the country as a whole
This emperor thought so
It's a bit excessive
Papaya was originally used as an item in the palace
There are specialized agencies responsible for procurement and transportation
He as emperor could just say what he wanted
You don't have to buy it yourself
He didn't know anything about it
Tongzhi not only likes to delve into food
I also like to play Keju
And the last thing you should do as an emperor is to have personal preferences
It was easy to give those who wanted to curry favor with the emperor a chance
The Emperor liked to play football
Then I'll go play football with him
Happy to accompany the emperor
Then I don't want anything
So unsteady in mind
It's too much
Wait until Tongzhi was seventeen years old and married
He officially began his absurd career
An important person has to be mentioned here
That was Tongzhi's mother, Cixi
Tongzhi arrived at the time of the big wedding
Empress Dowager Cixi and Empress Dowager Ci'an were carefully selected
Two empresses were chosen for the Tongzhi Emperor
One was nineteen-year-old Arut
One was the fourteen-year-old Fucha
The Fucha clan was favored by Empress Dowager Cixi
The Arut clan was favored by Empress Dowager Ci'an
So the two empresses disputed who would be the empress and who would be the concubine
Later, the older Aluth clan was chosen as empress
The Fucha clan is a concubine
After the great marriage, the emperor and the Arut clan fell in love with each other night and night
Talking to each other about poetry is intimate
He snubbed Cixi's favorite Concubine Fucha
Empress Dowager Cixi wanted Concubine Hui to gain favor
I thought of a reason to educate the emperor with the Holy Ancestors
Saying that the emperor is the king of a country should be considered for the sake of the jiangshan community
One should not indulge in the harem on a daily basis
Do everything possible to prevent the Tongzhi Emperor from making love to the empress
He also told the empress to let the emperor put state affairs first
Don't let the emperor stay in the Empress's Palace
The little couple was separated
The Tongzhi Emperor was naturally unhappy with this
Nothing can be done
It's hard to have a wife who is in love
It is strange that Tongzhi can be happy
It was just that Cixi had disciplined Tongzhi since she was a child
Her words amounted to a command
Tongzhi did not dare not listen
This time Cixi's order
Tongzhi slowly stopped contacting the empress
Instead, it started to become a wave
It was also the beginning of his future tragedies
Tongzhi's daily life was served by eunuch palace women
And the first task of the eunuch palace women
Not to help the emperor learn
Rather, it was to ensure the emperor's daily happiness
As a teenager, Tongzhi was seduced by the eunuchs of the palace
Not only do you often steal forbidden fruit
Moreover, from time to time, he quietly went out of the palace to the Qinglou to look for flowers and ask for willows
When he was young, he was subject to various confines
Tongzhi did not dare to leave the palace often
But after the pro-government, the power is in the hands
The number of times Tongzhi left the palace
It has developed from one or two times in January to more than ten times in January
And blatantly place those
The courtiers who accompanied him in his misdeeds were made high officials
And allow them to walk inside the palace
If the minister's inducement is just an appetizer
That's an inducement from a relative
It really dragged Tongzhi down the fire pit
I can't get up again
At that time, Prince Gong's son Zai cheng was an accompaniment to the Tongzhi Emperor
Because he often lived outside the palace
Very knowledgeable about all kinds of new things
He and Tongzhi are similar in age and smell alike
Therefore, Zaicheng was often entrusted by Tongzhi
Take him in and out of all kinds of places where dirt and grime are hidden
The two often went out of the palace together
Travel to and from hotels, theatres and brothels
Zai Cheng is a prodigal boy who is proficient in eating, drinking and gambling
Something related to sound and color dogs and horses
There was nothing he wasn't proficient in
Follow such people all the time
Tongzhi, of course, has learned a lot
He has been educated for more than a decade
It was a nightmare for Tongzhi, who was fun by nature
Depressed for a long time, he once went out of the palace
Desires and floods are out of control
The absurdity of the two even made a fuss
Lian Zaicheng's father, Prince Gong Yi bi, couldn't look at it
In front of Tongzhi
He said what he had done out of the palace one hundred and fifty times
Finally, he was explicitly persuaded not to do so again
But Tongzhi turned a deaf ear and still went his own way
In order to avoid people's eyes and ears, he no longer went to the capital
Those brothels frequented by the upper class
Instead, they ran to find the wild prostitutes and prostitutes
These people in the flesh and skin business often do not refuse
Naturally, I don't care about Tongzhi's identity
Although Flower Street Willow Lane is a holy place for men and women to have fun
But it is also the birthplace and raging place of willow disease
If you are not careful, you will get flower willow disease
And ancient medical technology is no better than today
Many diseases still rely on their own immunity to resist
Often a small cold can cause death
Not to mention the flower willow disease that could not be cured in ancient times
Willow disease is now syphilis
Tongzhi's daily entry and exit of Flower Street Liu Lane may naturally be infected
And Tongzhi's teacher Weng Tonggong once recorded it
The emperor's experience of entering and leaving the palace gate many times
It is no wonder that the history of the wild records that Tongzhi had flower willow disease
There is also speculation
Historical records record that Tongzhi died of smallpox
Not to say that he looked for flowers and asked Willow to fall ill and die
Part of the reason may be because of the royal face
After all, the emperor had this disease and spread the word
The royal face is also not good-looking
And from a medical point of view
The Emperor is the king of a country
There are many tai doctors in the palace
And as a strene syphilis has three stage symptoms
The incubation period can be as long as two years
Patients are not life-threatening until they reach the third stage
That is, rotten nose, rotten eyes
Although medicine at that time was not as developed as it is in modern times
But so many doctors
It is impossible not to find out that Tongzhi suffers from this disease
If you don't treat it, you're going to lose your head
And smallpox was the most potent infectious disease at that time
It can kill thousands of people
Although the Qing Dynasty attached great importance to smallpox
But the disease will die if it is not treated in time
From this point of view
Tongzhi may also have died of smallpox
And from the Qing Dynasty Emperor's "Pulse Case File Book", it can be clearly seen
In "Viva Grandpa into the Medicine Bottom Book"
On October 30 of the thirteenth year of Tongzhi, Chun's illness was not engraved
To the 5th of December of the same year, the rooster died
Thirty-six days before and after the pulse case condition and medication
It is completely proof that Jae-chun finally died of smallpox
Only the smallpox in the Qing Dynasty also has a precedent for curing well
At that time, Kangxi had smallpox
Why can't it be cured when you get to Tongzhi?
In fact, this is inseparable from Cixi
Puyi recorded in "The First Half of My Life"
After Cixi bowed the curtain to listen to the government
How to disagree with his son and the emperor
And directly led to the death of Tongzhi
When tongzhi has a slight improvement in smallpox
The Queen went to visit
When the emperor saw that her eyes were red and swollen, he asked why
It turned out that Cixi was not accustomed to the empress and often scolded the empress
The empress told Tongzhi afterwards
Tongzhi had no choice but to persuade the empress to be patient
When you're well, everything will be fine
Unexpectedly, cixi heard Cixi's anger
Directly let the queen be dragged out and caneed
Tongzhi was shocked and fainted
And so the disease worsened, and he never woke up
He died the next night
But anyway
Tongzhi could not be separated from the crime of absurdity
He played like this without bringing down the Qing Dynasty
It is also true that the system of the Qing Dynasty was perfect enough
There are also people who can take care of things
It doesn't matter if he lets him play
It's just his way of playing
To live to the age of nineteen is indeed a high lifespan
