1908, Emperor Guangxu died, and Cixi chose three-year-old Puyi I as the new emperor. The next day 17, Cixi followed Guangxu's footsteps and died in Yiluantang. When Cixi was alive, she was a man of the hour in the late Qing Dynasty. After her death, she still refused to stop. Three things happened during this period, which made people feel very strange. What happened?
Cixi went out, and suddenly it was windy, lightning and thunder. Cixi suddenly had dysentery, which led to vomiting and diarrhea for a long time, and finally led to heart failure and death. As the supreme ruler of the Qing Dynasty and a great country, her funeral was naturally very grand, even more grand than Guangxu's. There were 2 16 people who carried the coffin for her alone, and there were countless treasures in the coffin as funerary objects.
First of all, it is said that after the death of those in power, the living keep a hundred-day exam, which is the custom in ancient palaces, so Cixi was buried one year after her death. 1909165438+1October 9th, which was booked in advance? Jishi? It is time. This is the best time for Empress Dowager Cixi's funeral. Fortunately, it was a beautiful day, and there was no sign of rain in the clear sky. Strange to say, on the way out, a strong wind suddenly blew from sunny weather, and the sky suddenly became cloudy. According to Li, a red man around Cixi, suddenly a strong wind blew the eyes of the undertaker, and soon there was lightning and thunder, and it rained cats and dogs.
Then someone put this? An illusion from heaven? Classified as wrath, suggesting that the Qing dynasty is about to perish. Then it really came true. 19 12, the last emperor Puyi issued a letter of abdication, indicating that the Qing Dynasty, which ruled the Central Plains for 268 years, had been destroyed. The Qing Dynasty was also the last feudal dynasty in China, and its demise also marked the entry of China into the Republic of China.
In other words, the late Qing regime was indeed corrupt and incompetent, but during its 268-year rule, it achieved great unity and development of more than 50 nationalities. At the same time, Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang and Tibet were brought into the national territory, which made outstanding contributions to safeguarding the country's territorial sovereignty. Especially in? Anti-sense Shi Sheng? At its peak, the territory started from Mobei and Siberia in the north, the Pacific Ocean in the east and Nansha Islands in the south, reaching130,000 square kilometers. Even though the sovereignty of some areas was lost due to the corruption and incompetence of the Qing court, there were still about 6.5438+million territorial sovereignty, which crushed 3.5 million square kilometers in the Ming Dynasty.
In addition, in the early and middle Qing dynasty, agriculture and commerce were very developed, and many densely populated cities appeared in Jiangnan. The population once exceeded 400 million, accounting for one-third of the world population at that time.
When Cixi left the coffin, there was blood flowing out of the coffin. The date of Cixi's funeral was165438+10.9,165438+10.8, and Li and other eunuchs and maids were responsible for Cixi's funeral. The funeral includes wiping Cixi's body, putting on makeup, wearing a shroud, putting preservatives and funerary objects in the coffin. Besides, Li is also responsible for putting spices in the coffin. This spice was called from a family in Beijing? Wang Ji Xiang Liao Dian? The smell of this spice bought in the shop was what Cixi liked before her death. The cloth smoked with it smells so good that it can be smelled several feet away.
Everything is ready,1October 9 10: 30, 165438, the funeral procession of Empress Dowager Cixi arrived near Dongzhimen from the Forbidden City. It is a famous barber in Beijing who carries the coffin. They are a group of 108 people and two groups of * * * 2 16 people, who take turns to carry the coffin of Empress Dowager Cixi. According to Cixi's wishes, she was buried in Ding Dong Mausoleum in Putuo Mountain Valley. Ding Dong Mausoleum in Putuo Valley is 0/25km away from the Forbidden City/kloc-. It's so far away that you can't hurry out of the cave. A leisurely day can't walk much, but it will take a few days.
After the first day's trip, the funeral procession arrived at a post station on the way and stopped to have a rest. Li was cared for by Cixi before his death. Besides, he is the person in charge of the funeral, so he pays special attention to the funeral procession. Speaking of sharp eyes, Li suddenly found a faint bright red blood on the ground. When he looked closely, he found that it was dripping from Cixi's coffin. This can scare Li, which is not a bad thing. If everyone knows, it will be difficult to read a book about his incompetence.
So Li didn't dare to tell anyone. He just asked his cronies to secretly cover up the blood on the ground. That night, Li opened the coffin in the name of clearing the coffin and found that more than 20 dead mice and 7 were bleeding. Li was frightened to disgrace. Why is there a dead mouse in this coffin? It's not a corpse change, is it? The more Li Yue thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. The funerary objects in the coffin are all rare treasures of Lafayette before his death, and the only suspicious thing is the spices used to burn incense.
So Li went to a foreigner who was familiar with chemicals overnight with spices. The foreigner looked at it carefully and was surprised. This is poisonous rat incense! ? I see. What are the main ingredients of the original flavor? Poisonous rat incense? When the mouse smelled the fragrance, it got into the coffin ahead of time when people were not paying attention. It's very? Spacious? There are many kinds of funerary objects, which are not easy to be found after the coffin is covered. Later, the greedy mouse ate spices and naturally bled to death. At that time, Li almost ran away, but in the end it was just a false alarm, not paranormal.
Li kept filial piety for Cixi for a hundred days. After finishing Cixi's funeral, he left the Qing Palace where he worked for decades and lived in seclusion. But three years later, Li died in his hometown at the age of 63. The cause of death was similar to that of Cixi. Both of them suffered from dysentery and died of heart failure.
There are many rare treasures in the funerary objects of Cixi, especially a luminous pearl in her mouth. It is said that this kind of pearl is crystal clear and can be used for lighting at night. The most important thing is to keep her body from rotting for a hundred years. Numerous legends have made some people focus on her mausoleum. According to a later grave robber named Sun, after prying open her coffin, her body was still as vivid as when she was just buried.
In fact, when she just died, Li and others must have done special treatment to her body, and the grave was sealed tightly when she was buried, which reduced the possibility of oxidation of the body. As for whether it has something to do with the night pearl in her mouth, it is impossible to study it now, because all the beads, together with other funerary objects, are gone.
Conclusion: People really don't like what Cixi did when she came to power in the late Qing Dynasty, so most of the rumors about her are used to sort her out, not because the official history is untrue, but just as a talk after dinner.
Cixi was a collector of rare treasures when she was alive. She collected all the treasures that China could collect at that time. Some were placed in the Summer Palace, and some became her funerary objects. No matter which ones were made for others, these treasures were lost to others in vain.
