Cixi was the ruler of actual power in the late Qing Dynasty. What I hate most is not that she listens to politics, because there is more than one woman who listens to politics in history. Because of her pedantry and greed, China has reached a crisis, and she is still thinking about her luxurious life. The boxer movement was originally a patriotic movement, but in order to preserve its strength and cater to foreigners, she slaughtered her own people. This is simply an act without a bottom line.
In fact, she wants to rule the world like Wu Zetian, but she can't have this ability with this ambition. Although Wu Zetian engages in white terror in politics, fortunately, the people's views on her are positive. She promoted the development of farmers and businessmen in economic life and opened martial arts schools in the military, which greatly enhanced her military strength. But what did Cixi do when she was in power? She never asked how to innovate, but as long as it harmed the interests of feudalism, she rushed out to defend it. How can this make people praise her?
She likes high heels worn by western women, and once saw a photo of the Queen of England. She saw that high-heeled shoes were worn by the emperor before, and then they were worn with them. It looked strange, but the result was laughed at by the world for hundreds of years.
