Chapter 39 Cixi ()

Su Yue saw the comment section and said, "Old Buddha, I really know this."

It’s the familiar PPT again.

Why was Cixi nicknamed "Lafayette"?
Empress Dowager Cixi most likes to be called "Lafayette". Regarding the origin of this name, there is a folk legend that in the early years of Guangxu's reign, Li Lianying, the confidant of the Empress Dowager Cixi, had a Buddha built behind the main hall of Wanshou Temple.

After the construction was completed, he said to Cixi: "I heard that double Buddhas often appear in the main hall of Wanshou Temple. This is a sign of good fortune. I want to invite the Queen Mother to come and watch it."

Cixi was very happy after hearing this, so she found an auspicious day and came to Wanshou Temple.

When she entered the Main Hall and saw the same Buddha statue without any twin Buddhas, she immediately became furious. Li Lianying hurriedly said: "Queen Mother, please calm down and please go to the back hall to view it."

Cixi turned to the back of the Buddha statue and saw a statue of Guanyin Buddha with benevolent eyebrows. Just when she was surprised, Li Lianying suddenly shouted, "The old Buddha is here." The civil and military ministers who had been waiting here immediately knelt down and shouted in unison, "Welcome the old Buddha." ".

When Cixi saw this, she understood, but she pretended to be puzzled and asked: "Which Buddha are you welcoming?" Li Lianying and others replied: "It is to greet the Queen Mother, Buddha!" ​​"You are the Guanyin Bodhisattva who saves the suffering today. ah!"

The words made Cixi very happy. From then on, the name "Lafayette" spread, and ministers respected her by calling her "Lafayette", and Cixi was also proud of it. In fact, "Lafayette" is just a nickname, a nickname that is flattering.

Cixi also had the nickname "Dad", a nickname that Cixi forced Emperor Guangxu to use. Why did Cixi force Guangxu to call her "dad"? It turned out that Cixi, as the Queen Mother, occupied the position of the Supreme Emperor.

The position of the Supreme Emperor was originally enjoyed by the emperor's father. It seemed justifiable for Guangxu to call her his biological father. It seemed that she was in the position of the Supreme Emperor. This was really a perverted mentality obsessed with power. For this reason, she also found reasons to say that Guangxu was born to her biological sister, and her sister's son was just like hers.

Of course Guangxu did not dare to disobey Cixi's will. In this way, when Emperor Guangxu called her, he not only called her "dad", but also "dad". Ms. De Ling, who had lived in the palace for two years, wrote in her "Diary of the Second Year of the Qing Palace" that she had heard with her own ears that Emperor Guangxu would say: "Blessed daddy!" every time he paid greetings to the Queen Mother! "

As for why Cixi was called Lafayette, this is even more interesting.

Cixi believed in Buddhism, and the grandsons of the Qing Dynasty all flattered her, saying that she would live a long life, so she was called Lafayette. In fact, it was all nonsense.
In fact, the title "Lafayette" is not exclusive to Cixi. The special titles of all emperors in the Qing Dynasty were "Lafayette".
In addition to the "temple name", "posthumous title" and "honourable title", emperors in history also had "special titles". For example, the "special title" of the emperor of the Song Dynasty was "official", and the "special title" of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Called "Master".
As for why the emperors of the Qing Dynasty were called "Lao Buddha" by their "special title"? This is because the leader of the Jurchen tribe was first called "Man Zhu". "Man Zhu" is the transliteration of the Buddha's name "Man Zhu", which means "Buddha" and "auspicious". Therefore, the female leader was passed down from generation to generation and was specially called "Manzhu". Later, some prominent families and leaders who had been in high positions were named "Manzhu". Therefore, after the founding of the Qing Dynasty, the Manchu word "Manzhu" was "The Chinese translation is "Buddha", which became the "special title" of the emperors of the Qing Dynasty. Cixi had a special purpose in letting others call her "Lao Buddha". She was trying to compare herself to the emperor.
And I know that Cixi was not only called Lafayette, but also called Papa Huang by the emperor because she always wanted to imitate Wu Zetian when she was listening to the truth, and because Wu Zetian was called Corporal Maitreya, so she had people call her Lafayette.

武周
Wu Zetian frowned, she was not a popular person, but she liked to flirt with her.

Shangguan Wan'er is also unhappy. Can her majesty touch anyone? Unlucky thing.

But Wu Zetian was Wu Zetian. After struggling for a while, she didn't care anymore. She is a woman who doesn't even care about her last name.

Community of Contradictions: Ahhhhh, why is Cixi so disgusting?

goin: By the way, do you know about Yehenala’s curse?

Yue Yue: Prophet, it’s time for the sword.

Su Yue said: "Congratulations to goin for becoming the prophet of this game. Let's talk about Yehenala's curse."

The Yehenala tribe was originally an alien branch of the Jurchen tribe. As early as the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, they lived together on the banks of the Yehe River and grew stronger.

In the Jurchen language, "Yeh" means "Wild Duck", and "Nala" means "Colorful Sunshine". Therefore, "Yeh Nala" translated into Chinese means "Sunshine of the Wild Duck River Basin" family".

According to historical records, the conflict between the Aixinjueluo family and the Yehenala family had already occurred in the early Ming Dynasty.

At that time, the leader of the Aixinjueluo family wanted to force the Yehenala clan to surrender to him, and led his tribe to attack the Yehenala clan.

Before the war started, the leader of the Aixinjueluo family pointed to the earth and said that they were the gold on the earth (in Jurchen language, "Aixinjueluo" means "gold").

Unexpectedly, the leader of the Yehenala clan laughed loudly after hearing this, and then pointed to the sun in the sky and said, our surname is that.

Of course, the Aixinjueluo family was not strong enough at that time, so they were quickly defeated by the Yehenala clan, and the Yehenala clan became the most powerful tribe among the Jurchen tribe.

However, in thirty years Hedong and in forty years Hexi.

By the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Aixinjueluo family had a man named Nurhaci who was good at fighting.

At that time, the Jurchens were divided into three major groups: Jianzhou Jurchens, Haixi Jurchens and Savage Jurchens, and the strongest one was the Jianzhou Jurchens where Nurhachi was located.

Nurhaci is the son of a chief. However, because his mother died early and his stepmother was very mean to him, he left home to pursue his career when he was young. Although he suffered a lot, it also exercised his mind and broadened his horizons. Before Nurhachi raised his army, he had passed through the Yehe tribe.

Seeing Nurhachi's extraordinary appearance, Yehebubeile Yangjiniu believed that he would achieve great success in the future, so he took the initiative to betroth his youngest daughter Menggu to him.

By the time Meng Gu reached the age of marriage, six years had passed since the agreement.

In the past six years, Nurhachi not only relied on the 6 suits of armor left by his father to raise an army, but also through years of battles, he had unified the Jurchens in Jianzhou and made them the most powerful Jurchen tribe.

After Menggu married Nurhachi, Yehebu and Nurhachi formed a strong political alliance.

At this time, Yang Jiniu had been killed by the Ming army, and his son Nalinbulu succeeded Baylor.

Nalinbulu followed his father's order and sent Menggu, who was of marriageable age, to Jianzhou to marry him.

However, this marriage did not make the relationship between the two tribes closer. Instead, Nalinbulu saw Nurhaci's strength. Therefore, he felt threatened and continued to harass Jianzhou Jurchens and asked Nurhachi for territory many times. .

After being rejected, Nalinbulu also joined forces with nine major tribes including Huifa, Hada, and Mongolian Horqin to form a coalition to attack Jianzhou.

As a result, Nurhaci defeated the nine coalition forces with a small number and killed Nalinbulu's brother Busai during the battle.

Later, Nalinbulu asked Nurhaci for Busai's body.

In order to humiliate Nalinbulu, Nurhachi cut Busai's body into two parts and only let the envoys from Yehe tribe take away half of it.

The humiliated Nalinbulu was shocked and angry, but he was helpless against the powerful Nurhachi. Not long after, he died of anger.

After the death of Nalinbulu, his younger brother Jintaiji and Busai's son Buyangu succeeded to the position of Baylor. Although they had sworn hatred with Nurhachi, Buyangu and Jintai fought in order to avoid the genocide. Ji decided to negotiate peace with Nurhachi through marriage again.

Therefore, Buyangu proposed to marry his sister Dong Ge, who was known as "the most beautiful Jurchen", to Nurhachi.

Nurhachi had long heard of Dong Ge's reputation, so he immediately paid a heavy betrothal gift, and also made a blood oath with Buyangu to confirm the marriage.

Unexpectedly, Brother Dong said that she would never marry the enemy who killed her father, and openly solicited marriage in the Jurchen Ministry, saying that she would marry whoever killed Nurhachi.

Seeing this, Buyangu also destroyed the alliance with Nurhachi in front of everyone.

Nurhachi was already humiliated and was unhappy. As a result, Meng Gu was critically ill and wanted to see his mother before he died. But Ye Hebu actually rejected this request, causing Meng Gu to pass away with regret.

As a result, the conflict between Nurhachi and Ye Hebei became more acute.

After that, in order to get the beautiful Dongge, Beile of the Huifa tribe and the Ula tribe broke their alliance with Nurhachi several times and launched attacks on Nurhaci. As a result, the two tribes were destroyed by Nurhachi.

After that, in order to fight against Nurhaci, the Yehe tribe formed an alliance with the Ming army and launched the Battle of Sarhu. However, they were still crushed by Nurhaci.

Although Jin Taiji and Buyanggu were lucky enough to escape, as the Ming army's strength had not recovered, Nurhaci took the opportunity to lead an army to attack Ye He's tribe.

Facing Nurhaci's iron cavalry, Ye He's tribe was unable to resist.

After the city was destroyed, Jin Taiji burned himself to death in grief and anger in order not to be humiliated.

Buyangu led his troops to surrender after receiving Nurhaci's guarantee not to kill him.

However, in order to prevent the Yehe tribe from resurrecting, Nurhachi violated the covenant and killed Buyangu.

Buyangu's death was imminent, and there was no room for reversal. In grief, anger and helplessness, he cursed bitterly: "Even if I, Yehenala, only have one woman left, I will destroy Aixinjueluo!"

Not to mention, Buyangu’s words really came true. The demise of the Qing Dynasty was ultimately related to the Empress Dowager Cixi and the Empress Dowager Longyu of the Yehenala family. Therefore, Buyangu’s curse was listed as a part of Chinese history. One of the three most efficacious curses.
