This year is Shen Jianian. The Sino-French war broke out. At the beginning of the war, China lost again and again. Cixi took this opportunity to put the blame on Prince Gong and dissolved the military department headed by the heart. Since then, Cixi has been monopolizing power. This year is the tenth year of Guangxu.
Ten years ago, the power of Cixi was restrained by Prince Gong. After Guangxu, Cixi basically ran amok. There are examples to prove it.
In the four years of Tongzhi, the Westernization Movement headed by the heart was a great success, which overshadowed the light of Cixi. CreditEase also intends to control the intervention of Cixi. Cixi was very dissatisfied, so she took the opportunity of the impeachment of editor Cai Shouqi to go to Yixin to discuss the king and discuss all his duties. North Korean ministers have written to Yixin and Yixin was reinstated.
In the 11th year of Tongzhi, An Dehai, the red man and eunuch of Cixi, went out of the palace to Jiangnan on the grounds that Tongzhi bought a big wedding dress. Prince Gong wholeheartedly ordered Shandong Governor Ding Baozhen to kill An Dehai. Cixi is a vengeful person, but she not only did not retaliate against Ding Baozhen, but also reused Ding Baozhen. One heart is the mastermind and has not been retaliated by Cixi.
After Yixin was dismissed, she was reinstated. She was not retaliated for killing An Dehai, mainly because of Empress Ci 'an. Cian is the empress dowager of the imperial palace, and she is the highest authority in the reputation of the Qing Dynasty. Cian should be trusted to balance Cixi, and Cixi did not dare to act rashly during this period. Only when Yixin can be bold and bold can there be a Westernization Movement and a common governance of Zhongxing.
Cian died in Guangxu for seven years, and lost his heart in the background. In the tenth year of Guangxu, Cixi was completely dismissed from office and went home to support the elderly. Without restraint, Cixi began to fool around.
Just say a few things about what happened ten years after Guangxu, and you can find out how arrogant and unscrupulous Cixi is.
1894- 1895 Sino-Japanese War of 1895 coincided with Cixi's 60th birthday. Yi Xuan, Prince of Alcohol, allocated naval funds to restore Cixi's garden. Some ministers suggested that Cixi's birthday banquet should be simple, and the money saved should be used for anti-Japanese. Cixi flew into a rage and said it? Who makes me unhappy for a day, and I will make me miserable for a lifetime? . Cian is very frugal, and the enemy is just around the corner. Does Cixi dare to hold a birthday party with great fanfare?
1900, Cixi made a mindless decision and declared war on eleven countries at the same time. When she was defeated, she asked Li Hongzhang to negotiate with the great powers and said that famous saying? Measure China's material resources and win the favor of the country? . If Empress Ci 'an and Prince Gong were here, it would be impossible to agree to declare war with eleven countries, and Cixi had no right to say such shameless words.
In fact, Guangxu decade was a watershed. Ten years before Guangxu, Cixi's power was restricted and the Qing Dynasty was basically stable. Ten years before and after Guangxu, Cixi monopolized the power and did whatever she wanted. Because of her short-sighted political vision, the Qing Dynasty entered an accelerated period of extinction.
