History live broadcast: My audience is the ancestors

Chapter 38 Cixi
Su Yue continued to open the next photo and said: "As Queen Sun said, at least some people are willing to wash it, but the next one is not willing to wash it at all. Whoever washes it will be scolded."

I send my longing to the bright moon: Who is it? So disgusting!
Don't let the world grow old: Let's put it this way, there may be people who don't even know Wu Zetian, but there will definitely be no one who doesn't know her.

This feeling can be recalled: so powerful? real or fake?
goin: Ahhh, she spent two million from each of us.

I send my thoughts to the bright moon: I seem to understand. ((o(> Pan<)o))!!
Don’t let the world grow old: Yes, that’s the person you thought of.

Fuling: No, who is it? Why do I still not know?
care: It’s okay. You’ll know when Yueyue talks about it later. I'm sure you'll be absolutely pissed.

Ruoyan: Sometimes I really envy someone's clarity that has not been polluted by knowledge. It's not like us, who are sad for spring and autumn day by day.

Fuling: I always feel like you are insulting me.

叶赫那拉氏（1835年11月29日－1908年11月15日），一般根据其徽号简称为“慈禧”“慈禧太后”，又有“西太后”“老佛爷”等称呼。

Su Yong said: "Let's take a look at Cixi's profile first. There are only a few female fans of mine. Don't scare others."

With that said, she clicked on another photo.

An important political figure in China's late Qing Dynasty. The concubine of Emperor Xianfeng and the biological mother of Emperor Tongzhi.

Cixi entered the palace in the second year of Xianfeng (1852) and was given the title Lan Guiren (some say Yi Guiren). The following year, the Jin Dynasty granted her the title of Concubine Yi.

The eldest son of the later emperor, Zai Chun (Emperor Tongzhi), was promoted to Concubine Yi. In the eleventh year of Xianfeng (1861), Emperor Xianfeng died and Zaichun ascended the throne. She was honored alongside the two palaces of Ci'an and was called the "Notre Dame Queen Mother" and her emblem was "Cixi".

Later, he joined forces with Ci'an and Prince Gong Yi to launch the Xinyou coup, executed eight ministers, and seized power.

In the early days of his rule, he rectified the administration of officials, re-employed Han officials, gained support from the great powers, and suppressed uprisings such as the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Nian Army, allowing the Qing Dynasty to gain temporary stability. At the same time, the Westernization Movement began, and modern industry and commerce achieved initial development. It is called Tongzhi Zhongxing in history.

After the death of Emperor Tongzhi, she chose Emperor Xianfeng's nephew Zaitian (Emperor Guangxu) to succeed her. With Ci'an's sudden death and Yi's dismissal, Cixi began to take sole control of power. During this period, he returned to power for a time, but returned to power after the 1898 Coup.

After the rise of the Boxer Rebellion, it used its struggle to declare war on the great powers, triggering the Eight-Power Allied Forces to invade China. After the two palaces returned to Luan, they successively implemented the New Deal in the late Qing Dynasty and prepared for the establishment of a constitution in an attempt to save the dynasty from crisis.

On October 1908, the thirty-fourth year of Guangxu (), Emperor Guangxu passed away. Cixi chose Puyi as the new emperor. From that day on, she was revered as the Empress Dowager.

He died in Yiluan Hall the next day at the age of seventy-four. Buried in Ding Dong Tomb. The posthumous title is 23 characters long and is referred to as "Queen Xiaoqinxian".

Cixi once stayed behind the curtain and gave political instructions three times[173]. She was in charge of the late Qing Dynasty for years and was the actual ruler of the Qing and Tongguang dynasties. There are also different discussions in Chinese and foreign academic circles surrounding the evaluation of Cixi's role in China's modern development.

I send my thoughts to the bright moon: Cixi was a sinner of China, but she was a hero of the Qing Dynasty.

goin: Yes, but I still don't like her.

care: By the way, do you know that Cixi likes to be called her father?

Su Yue said: "I know this, you can take a look."

Cixi and Guangxu were a special "mother and son" pair in the history of the Qing Dynasty.

First, Guangxu was the son of Cixi's sister. After Cixi's son, Emperor Tongzhi, died young at the age of 19, in order to continue to control the highest power of the Qing Dynasty, Cixi overcame all difficulties and went through great troubles to establish her 4-year-old nephew Zai Tan as emperor.

Second, Guangxu was Cixi's puppet in power.

Cixi's motive for making her nephew emperor was not simple, and she only used him as a bargaining chip to continue to be in power. Therefore, Guangxu has lived under the high pressure of Cixi since he was 4 years old. Cixi often became angry with him, causing Guangxu to suffer serious physical and mental harm.

In this way, as time went by, Guangxu became very afraid of Cixi. Whenever he saw her, he would tremble and speak incoherently.

What troubled him the most was that Cixi was very disgusted with his greetings of "Good luck to the Empress Dowager". She always responded to him with a cold snort, and even got angry at him inexplicably.

This made Guangxu confused and puzzled.

As time passed, Li Lianying, a celebrity around Cixi, felt pity for Guangxu. At the same time, he was good at understanding his master's thoughts and saw the problem, so he decided to give the little emperor some advice.

Li Lianying said to Guangxu: "Your Majesty, have you noticed that Lafayette always looks unhappy when she hears you call her the Queen Mother? Do you think you should change the title?"

Guangxu thought for a long time and didn't know what to call Cixi that would satisfy her, so he asked Li Lianying what he should do.

Li Lianying rolled her eyes and told Guangxu mysteriously: "You can call the Queen Mother 'dad'."

When Guangxu heard this, he was stunned.

Not only was he surprised, but we were also deeply surprised: calling a woman your biological father is so weird, what the hell is going on.

But Li Lianying looked serious and didn't look like he was joking. Besides, there was no need for him to harm Guangxu. Besides, Guangxu knew that Li Lianying was the best at figuring out Cixi's thoughts, so he should be right to listen to him.

The next day, Emperor Guangxu went to pay homage to Cixi. Although it was a bit hard to say, he still made up his mind and shouted out the five words: "Blessed father!"

Sure enough, when Cixi heard this, she changed from her usual cold and frosty attitude: she smiled brightly at Guangxu, held his hand affectionately, and asked him to sit next to her. She asked him about his welfare and longcomings, and her attitude was more than a hundred times more affectionate than before.

Guangxu was also a straight man. He actually still didn't understand why Cixi was so keen on calling him such a masculine name, but seeing him call him "Daddy" had an immediate and good effect, and he has been calling Cixi "Daddy" ever since. .

At the same time, the word "Daddy" expresses Guangxu's full desire to survive and the sad and helpless palace life.

Su Yue said: "It's just outrageous, isn't it? It's all her fault that Lafayette and my biological father are responsible."

Wu Zhou
Wu Zetian rubbed her eyes and said in shock: "No, Wan'er, how could someone like to be called daddy?"

Shangguan Wan'er didn't understand either. After all, she was still an ancestor. She didn't know that some people in future generations would like to be called daddy.

Don’t let the world grow old: The problem is that Lafayette seems to be related to Wu Zetian.

I send my thoughts to the bright moon: No, why does Cixi like to touch porcelain so much? No, the entire Qing Dynasty also likes to touch porcelain like other dynasties! ! !
goin: I don't understand, really.
