In the first year of Guangxu (AD 1875), Prince Chun Yixuan and his youngest son Aixinjueluo Zaitian succeeded to the throne. In December of the thirteenth year of Tongzhi (January 1875), the enthronement ceremony was held. Empress Dowager Ci'an and Cixi listened to politics behind the curtain.
According to legend, the date of his enthronement predicted by the fortune teller had been postponed for half a month. After Prince Chun died of illness, the four-year-old Guangxu Emperor was really lucky to be crowned emperor by the two queen mothers. The reason is that auspicious people have heavenly destiny, and the young emperor's succession to the throne is the will of heaven. But there is a saying that God's will is unpredictable. Ever since the diviner calculated the auspicious day of the zodiac, it has been raining lightly. Although the drizzle is soft, it continues for several days. Everyone in the Forbidden City was in panic. Seeing that there were only a few days in the half month, a strange master finally arrived. The so-called strange man was that he was more than seven feet tall. He was wearing a plain cloth gown with a thin veil hanging from the bamboo hat. He held a fly whisk in his left hand and had a nine-ring tin rod wrapped around his back. The so-called expert, what is superior is the Dharma. With a wave of the snow horse whisk, three vibrations of the nine-ring tin stick, and a shout of "disperse!", A hole was broken through the haze for a long time, and the sun shined directly into the main hall of Cining Palace through the haze. "The Queen Mother is wise!" The ministers bowed their heads and looked up again. The master had long disappeared.
The enthronement ceremony on the second day was considered a success, and the follow-up was as planned. The only external message was that the emperor's grace extended to the world, and the emperor's dragon power broke through the continuous rain. Do you know who this expert is? Are you familiar with what this expert is doing? I know that this sound disperses the rain and disperses the souls of millions of people.
What happened after that day was also ridiculous. ————"The Strange Desolation of Dingwu"
