Cixi, as soon as this name appeared, not only was it well known, but it would also be scolded, because Cixi's power brought the Qing government to the point of ruin, and the country's mountains and rivers were also betrayed by her, so it is not an exaggeration to say that she is a sinner in China.
From Cixi's rise to power to the demise of the Qing government, Cixi's incriminating evidence was recorded one by one, and her image was also scandalized with her actions, a generation of demon queens, ugly old women and women...
In short, it is difficult to see the words of praise in her body, and perhaps there is indeed nothing to praise, but today we want to talk about what Cixi really looks like, what her real appearance is, there is a real photo of Cixi in the National Museum of the United States, which can still be seen now, which is what she really looks like.
Cixi of the Yehenara clan, born in an ordinary family, was selected to go to the imperial palace to be a nobleman because of the draft, and by chance, he was favored by the Xianfeng Emperor, and since then, he has been crowned as the Western Empress, which is the so-called Western Palace. From the thousands of women who can be pushed out to participate in the draft, it can be seen that Cixi's appearance cannot be said to be overwhelming, at least it is dignified and beautiful, and then to the harem beauty of three thousand, noticed by the Xianfeng Emperor, that appearance is still first-class.
It was just that Emperor Xianfeng was weak and sick since childhood, and the affairs of the government were also overwhelmed, at this time Cixi was a daily companion, because he wrote well, Emperor Xianfeng allowed Cixi to write on behalf of the reading of the folds, and also allowed her to express her personal views, and gradually Cixi began to help the Xianfeng Emperor to approve the recitals, but women were not allowed to interfere in politics, which was the regulation of the imperial courts of all dynasties, and Cixi could only secretly assist.
Emperor Xianfeng's body was worse than a day, Cixi dominated Emperor Xianfeng, saying that he would take care of the sick emperor, during which time Cixi was also pregnant with the dragon fetus of Emperor Xianfeng, because no other concubines had the opportunity to approach the emperor, let alone become pregnant.
At this time, Cixi was also quite a means, the sick Xianfeng Emperor controlled to death, within a few years the short-lived Xianfeng Emperor went to the west of the crane, Cixi's son Tongzhi Emperor naturally succeeded to the throne, but the Tongzhi Emperor was only 6 years old at the time, and could not govern independently at all, so the Eastern Palace, the Western Palace and the eight ministers jointly assisted in ruling, and also began the days of listening to the government. However, these ministers were all killed, resigned, and deposed by Cixi for various reasons because of their righteous words, and the puppet life of the Tongzhi Emperor began.
When the Tongzhi Emperor was 17 years old, the empress dowager of the Eastern and Western Palaces began to choose concubines for the Tongzhi Emperor, and was forced to roll up the curtains and return to power under pressure, but Cixi, who had been in charge of the imperial court for many years, had become accustomed to this kind of power supremacy, luxury and luxurious life, how could it be easy to give up power, he asked the Tongzhi Emperor to build the Yuanmingyuan for her to enjoy, the government treasury at that time was empty, the people were not happy, where there was money to repair the Yuanmingyuan, but Cixi took money from Li Hongzhang's disaster relief funds to build it.
It is said that Cixi had to eat more than 100,000 silver for a meal, which was also a heavy expense for the Qing Dynasty at that time. Speaking of the Tongzhi Emperor's weak fate, when he was not completely out of Cixi's control, he suffered from smallpox, and he has not been good, and he died in Huangquan after returning to the government for 2 years, the Tongzhi Emperor had no heirs, and Cixi would be only 4 years old at the time. Zai Xiang passed on, and this was the Guangxu Emperor.
The same history was reinterpreted in this way, and it was also the Huangkou child who still could not govern, at this time the Eastern Palace had already been assassinated by Cixi, and because of the experience of the Tongzhi Emperor's curtain listening to the government, the Guangxu Emperor was still like this, so the real power had never been bypassed.
If you have great power, you must be like Wu Zetian, even if you kill decisively, you can also think of the people and develop national strength, but Cixi, who has a skin bag, will not govern the country at all, from the outside of the foreign, the demand for foreigners as long as she can be at ease, what to want and even give, including our land.
In the years when she took power, the Sino-French War signed the "Sino-French New Covenant" that lost power and humiliated the country, although the Sino-Japanese War was superficially supported, but it was not allowed to use a little silver, resulting in the final defeat of the army, the total annihilation of the Beiyang Marine Division, so Cixi did not reduce the life of Fuhua a little, still spending more than 100,000 taels of silver per meal per day, and the Guangxu Emperor's series of reforms made this time quite dissatisfied, and the Wushu reform law was not successful, and Tan Si and the others were killed, which is also the famous Wushu Six Gentlemen Incident in history. The incompetence of the Qing government hastened the pace of destruction, the invasion of the Eight-Nation Alliance, Cixi fled with the Guangxu Emperor, and later directly assassinated the Guangxu Emperor, the poor Guangxu Emperor did not have any rights in his life, and finally died tragically at the hands of Cixi.
Cixi has committed countless crimes during China's rule, and history has also placed Cixi among the ranks of humiliated rulers, and that period of history that cannot be looked back is also in stark contrast to us today, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will now fight back at foreign countries when they have invaded China, telling them that we are no longer the China of a hundred years ago, and that we have stood at the forefront of the world.
Cixi's photos do not know when they arrived in the United States, or even to museums, perhaps because photo enthusiasts took photos of Cixi at that time, but no matter what Cixi looked like, she could not erase the crimes she had committed against China.
