Imperial Mausoleum Treasure

However!When the Eight-Power Allied Forces bloodbathed the capital, murdered, set fire, robbed, raped and murdered everywhere, the one who imprisoned Emperor Guangxu—the one who likes to listen to the government behind the curtain—the prodigal old woman who ruined the country and the people—the so-called Lafayette—the Empress Dowager Yehenara— Sa Yazi fled in panic.

The specific situation is as follows: On August [-]th of that year, the Empress Dowager Cixi forced the concubine Zhen to commit suicide (the body of the concubine Zhen was later buried in the Qingxi Mausoleum in Yi County, Hebei Province, and the tomb of the concubine Zhen was destroyed by tomb robbers in Hebei during the Republic of China. Jah Shichen and others stole the excavation, and later Jah Shichen was arrested by the government of the Republic of China and beheaded by the Yishui River! This is a later story (not going into details for the time being), and led Emperor Guangxu and other people to flee westward in a hurry.

Empress Dowager Cixi and others first fled to Huailai County, Hebei Province in embarrassment, and then fled to Datong, Shanxi Province, and then fled to Taiyuan City, and finally fled to Xi'an, Shaanxi Province.

Along the way, this old lady Cixi, who usually bossed around in the palace and ate more than 100 dishes for a meal, was in such a mess that she couldn't eat or drink. She was very afraid that pursuers would catch up and take down her long-haired head.

This fucking Cixi is used to domineering and domineering on weekdays, and she is also very particular about her meals. There are more than 100 dishes for a meal. In fact, some dishes are just eye-catching, and she doesn’t move. At most, one dish can take two or three mouthfuls , that's not bad.

If you eat one or two mouthfuls of each dish, you will have to eat two hundred mouthfuls, and she will be blamed if she doesn't make it to death.When eating, feed the cat first, and then insert a silver hairpin into the dish to test to see if it is poisonous.

When encountering important festivals, such as the Double Ninth Festival, the imperial dining room has to be more careful in serving her, and additionally prepare various pastries for her.

These flower cakes are dazzling and varied!There are tribute chrysanthemums, golden jujube paste, and eight treasures... There are also all kinds of Beijing-style flower cakes.

It is said that every year on this day, she will bring Li Lianying, surrounded by a group of cronies, to the Paiyun Temple to eat a special kind of "barbecue with sesame cakes" baked with earth charcoal and pine branches. This is not ordinary. "Seed cake sandwiched with barbecue meat", this is Cixi's favorite food.

Normally, although the red and white chefs of the Imperial Dining Room are extremely skilled in technology, they even have special chefs to prepare chopped green onions!But it still can't satisfy Cixi, a prodigal old lady.

Once this old woman feels uncomfortable eating, she will kill people to vent her personal anger.

Every September, Empress Dowager Cixi has to celebrate the "Lent Period" according to the old rules. At this time, the imperial dining room has to prepare vegetarian dishes for her for a full 20 days, because this moody old woman still believes in Buddhism.

One year in the golden autumn and September, she suddenly caught a cold, and her mouth tasted bad, and her teeth were not so good, and her appetite was not sticky anymore.

The old woman quickly summoned the eunuch Li Lianying to eat the so-called "Jiuhuangsu", and the chef hurriedly prepared it for her.

Unexpectedly, this old woman who was so picky tasted it, she burst into curses, thinking that the food was tasteless, and said it was tasteless!Ask the chef to redo.

The chef was so frightened that he didn't dare to show his breath, so he had to beat the gongs and drums to open again. After a long time of getting it up, in fact, this time it was even better than the last time.

However, the old witch Cixi's nose is stuffy because of a cold, and her mouth has no taste, so take it seriously!After tasting it, she was still full of eternity, and Jing ordered to pull all these cooks out, and let the knife and axe crack.

But, now it's not like the imperial palace in the past, Cixi fled westward with a group of people in embarrassment, fled for several days in a row, and ate all the dry food he brought out.

Think about it, in those days, soldiers were in panic and ghosts were everywhere, and Cixi was so scared that she didn't dare to stop to ask the government for food, but just fled westward.

After it rained on the way, she didn't go to the store in front of the village or back. She was so hungry that she sent someone to find something to eat!Finally, I went to a dilapidated and uninhabited village to find two eggs, boiled them and ate them, but I was still hungry.

I drank rainwater when I was thirsty, and I no longer put on a cool show.

Seeing that we are almost in Xi'an, but there are still more than ten miles to go.The old woman Cixi's face turned pale, she was so hungry that she had to order the car to stop and ask her staff to go find something to eat again.

No matter how big or small the subordinates are, they are also pampered masters in the palace. At this time, they are also tired, hungry, thirsty and sleepy.

They looked sad, and thought, Cixi is used to delicacies from mountains and seas, such as abalone and lobster, now in this wilderness, where can I find these things? Thinking of this, they just grumbled and promised, obediently obediently and secretly contradictingly, but did not see any action .

When Cixi saw it, she was furious, and said with an old face: "You bunch of slaves, are you trying to starve me to death?"

One of his subordinates hurriedly nodded and bowed his head and said, "I would like to report to Lafayette, please calm down. It's not that the servant refuses to look for it, but there are no villages or shops behind this place. Where can I find it?"

At this moment, Cixi suddenly found not far away, a group of refugees in ragged clothes were sitting and eating on the ground.So he pointed with his finger and said, "See what those people are eating?"

The subordinates rushed over to have a look, and saw those fleeing people sitting together, eating the corn bread. The semi-circular corn bread looked like four or five weights.

The subordinates rushed back to report: "To Lafayette, those people are eating corn bread"

This Cixi is an old woman who is used to enjoying the blessings in the imperial palace. She never knew what a wowotou was, let alone saw it. She was very curious at the moment, so she walked over with a fluttering pace.

Cixi stretched her head, looked curiously, and saw that the semi-circle of the bun was very nice, and it was still yellow, with one eye. Those people gnawed it endlessly, and it looked very delicious.

So she hesitated, pointed to an old man, and asked tentatively, "Is this delicious?" The old man turned his head and said, "It's delicious!"

After hearing this, Cixi felt even more hungry and panicked, so she continued to probe and said, "Can you give me one to eat?"

In fact, the cutest ones are the common people, and the old man didn’t know that the old lady in front of him with makeup and rags was Cixi in the palace, so he took out a golden steamed bun from his bag and handed it to her. one.

Cixi hurriedly took it, opened his wife's mouth, and took a big bite, feeling that it was really delicious, and after a few big bites, she killed a bun.

The old man's steamed corn bread is made of cornmeal. Its shape is small on the top and big on the bottom, with a semicircular shape. It was originally the main food for the poor in the past.

Because it is coarse grains, in order to make it easy to cook when steamed and save firewood, people leave a hole under the steamed bread, and because it is the same staple food as steamed buns, so Beijingers call this food Wowotou.

In this way, they fled along bumpy roads, and after more than two months of fleeing thousands of miles, Cixi and his party finally entered the then city of Xi'an on October 26.It happened to be raining that day, and the local officials forced the crowd to kneel in the rain to welcome Cixi.

As soon as Cixi arrived in Xi'an, the local officials settled her down with great care, as if she were a giant panda national treasure!Needless to say, desperately entertaining.

The governor of Shaanxi made a large-scale construction project, consuming 5 taels of silver and snowflakes, and planned to use the governor's yamen in the North Courtyard with hundreds of houses as Cixi's palace.

After Empress Dowager Cixi entered Xi'an, due to the rush to repair it, she first used the Shaanxi-Gansu Governor's Yamen in the South Court as a temporary palace. All the gateposts were repainted and whitewashed inside and out.

That's it, Cixi, a savage old woman, thought there were too few houses, so she patted her buttocks and went to live in the governor's yamen in the north courtyard.

then!Xi'an specially set up a supporting bureau to handle the imperial errands. In less than a month, 29 taels of silver were spent.

And here in the city of Beijing, the Eight-Power Allied Forces are burning like a raging fire!Seventh Brother's teeth had already been gritted and rattled, and the arrow was on the string.
