Tongzhi is a more important period in the late Qing Dynasty, in the case of the two palace empresses and princes jointly discussing politics, the late Qing government worked hard to govern, rarely ushered in a situation of Tongzhi Zhongxing, but what is surprising is that the 19-year-old Tongzhi Emperor himself "collapsed in the Yangxin Hall" in 1875, causing great controversy.
The number of Emperors of the Qing Dynasty is not much, but they can enjoy the country for nearly three hundred years, a big reason is that the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty can live, the average life expectancy of the Emperor should also be the first of all generations, Tongzhi died at the age of 19, obviously dragging the Qing Emperor's hind legs.
Because the cause of death of Tongzhi is not very detailed, there are many opinions for a time.
Among them, the most convincing view is that the Tongzhi Emperor was young and promising, and wanted to do something big, but Cixi, who was greedy for power, was afraid of Tongzhi's pro-government, so he often suppressed this son, under great pressure, the Tongzhi Emperor not only gave up on himself, but also full of rebellion, coupled with dissatisfaction with marriage, the young Tongzhi Emperor often went to the southern suburbs under the guidance of eunuchs to "micro-serve private visits", that is, visiting the kiln, and then contracted flower willow disease, and eventually died.
For example, in the "Four Dynasties anthology", it is recorded: "The collapse of Muzong, the transmission of different people, or cloud ceiling, or cloud poison, and medicine can not be completely combined." ”
The emperor visited the kiln, for the people of any era is a favorite lace news, on the spirit of gossip and rumors, the Chinese people have not yet served anyone! Last night, I heard a report that a certain drug can suppress the new crown virus, and as a result, even the veterinary drug on the Internet was sold out.
Therefore, the death of the Tongzhi Emperor, for a long time, was gradually arranged into a day to find flowers and ask for willows, and finally died because of it.
In Zhou Xingchi's movie "Nine Pin Sesame Officials", Bao Longxing, played by Zhou Xingchi, went to the capital to file a complaint, because he had to work in a brothel to make a living because he ate the overlord meal, and as a result, he met the Tongzhi Emperor who came to prostitute himself, and with the support of the Tongzhi Emperor, Bao Longxing was able to retry the Qi family massacre.
In fact, the emperor went out to prostitute himself privately since the Forbidden City, such a thing, it is impossible to happen in the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty is the most stringent dynasty in China's autocratic feudal dynasty canonical system, the emperor of any dynasty is not as sad as the Qing Emperor, there is no personal freedom, let alone out of the palace, that is, in the palace want to eat more bites of like to eat a few more meals are difficult.
In the "Nine Pin Sesame Officials", there is an "associate minister" who also comes to prostitute, frightening the emperor to hide under the bed, in fact, during the Qing Dynasty, don't say the emperor, even the ministers are not allowed to prostitute, according to the "Great Qing Laws": "All officials who stay in prostitution, the staff is sixty, and the matchmaker is reduced by one." If the descendants of officials (who should be in the shade) are prostitutes, the same is true of the sin. ”
That is to say, during the Qing Dynasty, prostitution was legal, but officials could not go to prostitution, and if they were caught, they would be punished, and the princes and ministers were no exception, and in the late Qing Dynasty, Prince Qing was a very influential royal clan relative, and also had a certain influence in the dynasty, and Prince Yi of Qing was quite trusted by Cixi, but Yi Zhen's son Zai Zhen, in 1907, went to Jilin to supervise school affairs, and when he passed through Tianjin, Duan Zhigui spent a lot of money to buy a prostitute Yang Cuixi to give to Zai zhen in order to bribe Yi Li.
After Yushi Zhao Qilin learned of this matter, Shangshu impeached, although after that, Zhao Qilin was won the championship, and the matter was not resolved, but Zai Zhen also had to resign from Shangshu and never came out again.
The prince could not prostitute himself, how could the emperor have the opportunity to achieve it.
In fact, ancient China is not without emperors who like prostitution, the most famous is the Northern Song Dynasty "king of the subjugated country" Song Huizong, during the Song Huizong period guotai min'an, the capital of kaifeng is a luxury, because of the good public security, Song Huizong dug a secret passage out of the palace, often went to the brothel to find fun, and even led prostitutes to the palace, the famous prostitute Li Shishi of the Northern Song Dynasty had a secret relationship with Song Huizong.
Legend has it that when Master Li met with Zhou Bangyan, who was good enough, just in time for Song Huizong to come to "micro-service private visits", in a hurry, Zhou Bangyan could only hide under the bed for a night, and later made a poem "Youth Tour" to describe this unusual experience of prostitution, after Song Huizong learned,
Almost killing Zhou Bangyan, it was still Master Li's bitter pleading that made Zhou Bangyan pick up a life.
Through more historical data, we can find that the Tongzhi Emperor is most likely to die of smallpox, and the theory that he died of flower willow disease is not established.
In an archive called "Long Live Grandpa Into the Bottom Book of Medicine", the diagnosis and medication from the onset of Tongzhi to the time of death are recorded in detail, and it is basically certain that the Tongzhi Emperor finally died of smallpox.
In 1979, relevant experts and professors from the First Historical Archive of China, the Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine and the Beijing Hospital conducted a special study on the development of Emperor Tongzhi's condition and medication, and the final conclusion was that there was no doubt that Emperor Tongzhi died of smallpox.
