The Humble Bird Arrives at the End of the World: Qing Cixi

Although Cixi is a sinner through the ages. But from a female standpoint, she has transcended the limitations of historical women. When I saw Cixi before, I always felt that all the mistakes could be made in one person. I was still young at that time. Thinking about it again, which woman in that kind of background could achieve this? He was indeed ruthless and bold, and his character was no less than that of a man. However, at that time, the entire framework of the Qing Dynasty and the people in the center of power were rotten. The gap with the world was getting wider and wider, and destruction was an inevitable result.

It is said that Concubine Zhen did sell her official position, and she was not unjustly accused of this crime. It's hard to say what he will do if he really takes power. I can only say that the court is already rotten.

The times bring about the tragedies of the times, what can the people who live in them do? If we were her, who could single-handedly fight against the wheel of fate?

But it is said that Takayu received a good Western education and seemed to be able to play the piano or something. Her appearance should be in line with Western aesthetics. I read a memoir of a certain lady saying that the queen was very beautiful. Today, if you go to France, you will be as "beautiful" as Lu Yan. Moreover, after the election of the Qing Palace, it has always been about dignity, temperament, and family background, and there is no such thing as appearance. Only concubines are acceptable. From a current political perspective, Concubine Zhen died in support of changes. In fact, according to the rules of the Qing Dynasty at that time, she was an unruly person who tried to change the world and pulled down his legitimate wife. To say that Concubine Zhen didn't make such a small calculation based on her favor, no one would believe it! Someone has taken a fancy to your position and declared war. If you don't fight back, you will end up dead! It's hard to say right or wrong in this kind of thing, only victory or defeat. Judging from Fu Yi's autobiography, Longyu was not capable or ambitious. I think her biggest mistake was that she was born as Cixi's niece. She was pointed out to the emperor, but she was not allowed to like her. She occupied the position of queen and blocked the way of the emperor's beloved concubine, so she was vilified to the point of being vicious and stupid.

Speaking of which, Cixi's big black point: she would rather be with friends than domestic slaves. This is just a joke, not what she said 23333 These words were clearly spoken by Terah Gangyi. The original words were: The great scholar Gangyi once said to someone: "Reformers are a benefit to the Han people, but a harm to the Manchus! I have an inheritance. I would rather give it to my friends than let the slaves share the benefits!"

In fact, Guangxu was a cowardly and incompetent guy. Even if he removed Cixi at that time, he might not be able to support the Qing Dynasty, and it would only get worse. You can tell by looking at the people he picked: Kang Youwei and Yuan Shikai, which shows his ignorance of people. Those who later generations praised Guangxu were basically simple-minded.

It's really beautiful. I'm sorry that I discovered such a good work so late.

History cannot be assumed, we can only treat them as fairly as possible

It will look better if you expand it and write it slowly
