A Collection of Royal Anecdotes in the Late Qing Dynasty
About This Novel
This article collects many interesting anecdotes about the royal family and surrounding people in the late Qing Dynasty, trying to use these vivid details to present a palace style that is different from official historical records. The selection of materials covers various periods from the Daoguang period to the Qing Dynasty's withdrawal from the Forbidden City. They are all very interesting. For example, Emperor Daoguang lamented after the signing of the "Treaty of Nanjing", conducted a thorough investigation of the bank's deficit, and cleverly selected the successor to the throne, which vividly demonstrated the multi-sensitive qualities of an emperor. Another example is the ups and downs of Prince Gong Yixin on the political stage, his subtle relationship with Cixi, his relegation and neglect due to his admonitions, etc. Emperor Guangxu, the last emperor Puyi, and interesting stories about Puyi's contact with Western culture are all included. These small anecdotes are strung together like beads with relaxed writing styles, presenting readers with vivid pictures of court life in the late Qing Dynasty. Historical materials are precious, timeless, and always fresh when read.
