Cixi entered the palace when she was young and was not favored. With her son, she took her son and became the Queen Mother. She experienced five emperors in Qing Dynasty all her life, and actually took control of the Qing government for half a century. There are many legends about Cixi's personal life. For example, she asked for 200 dishes for a meal, only took a few bites and threw them away. For her birthday and other pleasures, Cixi misappropriated military expenses more than once. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the fiscal revenue of the Qing government was only tens of millions a year, and the mausoleum that Cixi prepared for herself was as high as 200 million taels of silver.
Cixi treats people with harshness and ruthlessness. Even her own son Tongzhi is far less important to her than political power. But it is such a heartless person, but to everyone's surprise, she is a filial daughter. On her mother's seventieth birthday, Cixi did not go out to celebrate her birthday, but sent many precious gifts and wrote a poem:? Parents are the most sincere in the world, tears and blood melt into children's bodies, exhausting their efforts to become children. The poor inherit the wind. ? As soon as this poem came out, the ministers headed by Li were moved to tears, but the simple and straightforward sentences told the simplest truth.
The last sentence? The poor inherit the wind? Nowadays, it is a household name, and we often hang this sentence in our ears, but many people don't know that this sentence comes from Cixi. She is the actual controller of a country. She is also an ordinary daughter. Parents love their children, and this feeling can be connected, and it will not be different because of different status. Only this poem was handed down by Cixi, but it touched countless families. A simple sentence touched all parents and children.
