The posthumous title of Empress Dowager Cixi is very special, but her words are even more special. She had many thunderous words in her life, which could be said to be thunderous. Not only did this soften the focus of her Ridley contemporaries, but it sounds like a physical blow today. Let me share her thundering words with you:

1. Better to be a friend than a slave.

Her so-called friends are all Western powers. They drove her out of Beijing twice with foreign guns and burned down three mountains and five gardens. As for the slaves, they were the 3.4 billion people of the Qing Dynasty under her rule.

Of course, the previous feudal rulers liked to use subjects, and the rulers of the Qing Dynasty liked to call ministers and people slaves, so Cixi had slaves in her mouth.

In Cixi's view, instead of verbal support for one's own people, it is better to put on the smiling face of all Chinese property towards foreigners. Cixi's traitorous character was exposed.

2. Measure China’s material resources and win the country’s favor.

The previous sentence is just an expression. Simply put, this sentence tells foreign adults not to be restrained and treat this place as your home. She said this because the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded China in 1901.

After the signing, the Western powers took what they should and should not take. They were very satisfied and stopped clamoring to treat Cixi as a war criminal. Empress Dowager Cixi was naturally very happy and gratefully approved the treaty.

The Empress Dowager Cixi is a kind person. You foreigners were so kind to me, and I had no choice but to say no, so I went back to see the visiting foreign envoys and said this famous saying. Knowing that Wu Tiantian was threatened by the Japanese, he still dared to tear up the speech they had prepared. Compared with the general, the Empress Dowager Cixi is far behind.

3. You must never let a woman’s power reach its peak.

Compared with the previous two sentences, this sentence is the most shocking. This is a famous saying before her death. At that time, a group of ministers and princes stood respectfully in front of her bed by the window, listening to the instructions, thinking that the aunt would have some ideas, but they did not expect these words to come out.

In fact, Cixi realized at this time that women were princesses in the palace after all, and their involvement in power brought countless disasters to the Qing Dynasty. Just like a murderer who always warns others not to make the same mistake again when he is sentenced, the old lady Cixi regretted it at this time. It is a pity that the Qing Dynasty has accumulated a lot of burden, and it is too late to regret now.
