Hello everyone, I'm the author Oft. Today we are talking about Empress Dowager Cixi's partner in the second half of her life, Li Lianying.
It will definitely be said that the editor is fooling around again. What kind of partner did This Empress Dowager Cixi have in the second half of her life?
Some words can't be counted on Li Lianying's head. Of course, the companion that Xiaobian said was in quotation marks, and in the second half of Empress Dowager Cixi's life, to tell the truth,
Li Lianying is the one who has been with him the longest, don't believe it?
Let's first look at Li Lianying's history. This Li Lianying Qing Dynasty, that's for sure, right? He was born in the Qing Dynasty in Zhili Province, which is now Hebei Province.
According to the records of the epitaph, he was born in the twenty-eighth year of Daoguang, and entered the Qing Palace archives at the age of nine, which also proved that Li Lianying was indeed a eunuch who attacked in the seven years of the forward.
But not nine, but thirteen.
Li Lianying originally did not call this name, her original name was Li Jinxi. Later, because she served Empress Dowager Cixi, Empress Dowager Cixi changed his name to Lian Ying, and from then on she was called Li Lianying.
Anyway, whether he entered the palace at the age of nine or thirteen. Until he was sixteen years old, this luck was good, and he was transferred to the Changchun Palace to serve him.
Empress Dowager Cixi.
It is not that Li Lianying became Cixi's red man as soon as she arrived in front of Cixi. At that time, Empress Dowager Cixi had red roots in front of her, and this round was not him, he.
Grand Eunuch Andehai, you may have heard this name, when Andehai was red and purple. Later, Andehai also got his way because of this teenager, right? Over-the-top.
Being hated. Finally, once, when he was leaving the capital, he was caught by Ding Baozhen, the inspector of Shandong. He was charged with leaving the Beijing Division for violating the organization.
Having cut off her head, with this grand crime, Empress Dowager Cixi had nothing to say. This incident made Li Lianying learn a profound lesson. Li Lianying herself is a very intelligent person.
Coupled with being in the most complicated place in the world, ah, didn't Mr. Jin Yong once say? The most complicated places in the world are two.
One is the royal palace and the other is the brothel. Hey, don't think that Lao Wang is blind, you don't believe that you flipped through the Deer Ding Ji with this paragraph.
All in all, Li Lianying was good at playing her own strengths in the palace, and finally practiced the Sunflower Treasure Book, not nothing sunflower treasure book, and finally practiced it.
The superb skill of serving Empress Dowager Cixi soon understood how to straighten out the relationship between herself and her master, how to be a master, and how.
We're slaves, aren't we? Li Lianying soon learned to figure out the master's temper and hobbies, and was able to please the master in every possible way, and at the same time, she could always be everywhere.
Be careful, don't say that you are serving Empress Dowager Cixi, you are serving you, leader, you can do this, you can definitely become a leader of the red. So later, in Li Lianying's epitaph, there is such a passage on the tombstone.
Saying that Li Lianying, the world is quiet, the world is wide, if there is no slack in the years, it is very good to serve the leaders.
Ah, yes, the last time I served it was in place. Yes, the people below are still very generous, and the most important thing is not a day, not a month, not a year, but a long period of years and decades. So yeah.
The popularity is very good.
This old king once said that a palace maid was the personal palace maid of the wanton empress. Later, after leaving the palace, this living age is quite old, and a book has been published. The palace maid talks about the inside of the network.
It records a lot of Empress Dowager Cixi's private life, hey, what kind of private life, in fact, it is some of Empress Dowager Cixi's personal when to get up, walk, how to eat, exercise.
Who do you love to chat with, what entertainment you like, play a flower, six birds, and so on. In the book, this palace girl recalled her interaction with Li Lianying, saying that Li Lianying was a very loyal and kind person.
Very welcoming and kind. And as a eunuch leader, people were already great eunuchs at that time, and as leaders, they were always kind to these little palace girls.
And often small favors. Li Lianying said such a sentence, and he also had the impression that if we eunuchs want to make money, we can't suppress our subordinates, and we can't squeeze the little eunuchs and little palace girls under us.
Those big officials outside, the important officials of the imperial court, who want to do things steadily, all have to give us silver, we want to earn money, they earn their money, they have money.
By the twentieth year of Guangxu, Li Lianying was already forty-six years old. This year, Li Lianying was rewarded with wearing a flower plume on the top of the second product.
Ah, as a Erpin eunuch, the rank of Erpin civil official of the Qing Dynasty is roughly equivalent to today's deputy minister. For the eunuch, this two-pin top wear is actually just a symbol of honor.
Ah, nevertheless, Li Lianying created a precedent among eunuchs that had not been set before. Because in the past, as early as the Yongzheng period, the Yongzheng Emperor had stipulated that the Yongzheng Emperor had prescribed tai.
The eunuch's rank could only reach four pins at most, and could not be higher. Hey, but Li Lianying broke that record.
Between Empress Dowager Cixi and Li Lianying, this master-servant relationship and affection that they have formed over decades is extraordinary. For decades, this palace girl beside Cixi, the eunuch changed stubble after stubble.
And the only one who can be sympathetic, in addition to the An Dehai mentioned above, is probably Li Lianying.
In the late Qing Dynasty, there was a court eunuch named Liu Xingqiao, and later he also published a memoir called "Life in the Late Qing Dynasty". In this book.
He remembered this interaction between Li Lianying and Empress Dowager Cixi. He said, "Three meals a day, morning and evening, and they both send eunuchs to each other."
Or greet in person with a delicious incense.
When she lived in the Summer Palace in the West Courtyard, Empress Dowager Cixi often came to find Li Lianying, so let's go out for a walk, and Li Lianying will come out to play with her.
The two men walked in front, and the others followed far behind.
Empress Dowager Cixi would sometimes call Li Lianying to her palace, and the two of them would chat together, just to talk about how to maintain health, health care, and immortality.
The two often talk about late at night.
If you look at this passage, this description is also a very vivid technique. From one side, Li Lianying had actually become the life of Empress Dowager Cixi in her later years at this time.
A companion who can't leave for a moment.
You have clearly heard lao wang say that this companion is a companion, but it is not a companion's companion, let alone a companion of an old companion.
Because Empress Dowager Cixi's favor for Li Lianying was increasing day by day, this caused discussion and uneasiness among the government and the public.
In the twelfth year of Guangxu, Li Hongzhang, then the governor of Beiyang and minister of Beiyang, sent a message to the imperial court, saying that the Beiyang Navy had been trained into an army.
He asked the imperial court to send ministers to come and inspect it. Therefore, Empress Dowager Cixi sent the Prime Minister and the Minister of the Navy, Prince Yixuan, to inspect it.
Who is this Yixuan? Yi Xuan was the biological father of the Guangxu Emperor at that time, and you think how noble this status is, so ah.
Dega sent a eunuch to accompany him.
Because Yi Xuan's son became emperor, he was particularly cautious in what he did, plus he himself was also very deep in the city government. So when Empress Dowager Cixi asked him to see him.
He took the initiative to ask Li Lianying, the most favored and trusted person around the empress dowager, to go with her. In order to reduce the empress's suspicion of herself.
In this way, pure heart, Wang Yixuan went to Tianjin, and together with Li Hongzhang, he went to sea on a warship and successively inspected Dagu, Lushunkou, Weihaiwei, Yantai, and other places.
In early May, he returned to Beijing to resume his life.
But it was this time out, the imperial court was dissatisfied with the rescue, and there was an inspector Yushi, named Zhu Yixin, who played a book to the Guangxu Emperor to say Li.
Li Lianying accompanied Prince Alcohol in inspecting the naval network, had great self-esteem, made friends with local officials, accepted bribes, and deserved to be investigated.
That's really the way it is, you can't just say what you say. Heck, after an investigation, everyone found out that this was not the case at all.
After Prince Shuo left the capital, every time he received a civil and military official, he really let Li Lianying accompany him. Originally, his intention was to avoid the suspicion that he wanted to seize power. You see.
Next to her, there was a close associate of the empress dowager, Li Lianying, who could testify against her. And Li Lianying has always remembered the lesson of Andehai and wears it every day.
They are very simple and simple, and they also hold a dry cigarette bag for the prince, fill the prince with cigarettes at any time, deliver cigarettes, and return to the residence.
Then the door is closed and closed, and no one is seen. At that time, there were some local officials in Shandong Zhili who really wanted to seduce the big red people around the empress.
But when they came to the door, they were disappointed to see each other.
Later because of this.
Empress Dowager Cixi also specifically asked Prince Shuo about the situation, knowing that Zhu Yixin was talking nonsense, so she approved his recital.
He also ordered that he be demoted to a lower rank and demoted to the post of Yushi, which was also Empress Dowager Cixi's trust in Li Lianying.
Horse racing was later widely taken on October 22, 34, and Empress Dowager Cixi died in Xiyuan, Beijing. Li Lianying was after the funeral of Empress Dowager Cixi.
He left the palace where he had lived for fifty-one years. At that time, Empress Longyu, who was in charge of the Inner Palace, allowed her original product to be repaired.
This means that you can retire with your original salary.
Li Lianying died three years later, at the age of sixty-four when she died three years after Xuan reunification. When he died, a luxurious tomb was built in the eunuch cemetery in Enjizhuang, Beijing.
However, it was destroyed decades ago, and only Mu Zhiming's rubbings remained.
Okay, so let's get to that today.
Reunion in the second half.
