After the Demon Generation: Empress Dowager Cixi unofficial history joked that Liu Xiaoqing interpreted Empress Dowager Cixi vividly.

After Cynthia's coup, the Empress Dowager was eliminated by eight ministers headed by Su Shun, and the title of Qixiang, which had been proposed earlier, was abolished. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement was finally suppressed when the Tongzhi Emperor was 9 years old. Zeng Guofan, governor of Liangjiang River, rushed to the capital, but he was the first to report to Xigong Empress Dowager Cixi. In the picture, ten ladies-in-waiting are dressed neatly and filed into Changchun Palace. It turned out that Empress Dowager Cixi was preparing to take a bath and was ecstatic after reading the paper. Later, he organized the harem concubines to hold a release ceremony with the civil and military officials. On the other hand, Tongzhi met Zeng Guofan who had suppressed meritorious service. However, how to reward meritorious personnel depends on the opinions of the two queens behind him. Cixi asked Hong Xiuquan's many treasures with concern, but Zeng Guofan said that the treasures had been destroyed by the fire.

Empress Cian was furious, and Zeng Guofan's younger brother Ceng Guoquan said that the fire burned for seven days and seven nights, leaving nothing, and that all the gold was taken away by Li Xiucheng. Cixi gave a sloped smile. In fact, she was very aware of the whereabouts of the treasure and was corrupted by the governor of Liangjiang in front of her. However, the Qing Dynasty relied on Zeng Guofan and others to protect her, so Cixi deliberately wooed her and there would be no puncture. Cian also knew that the money could not be recovered, so he gritted his teeth and knelt down. After the courtiers left, Tongzhi found that Zeng Guofan's official hat was not taken. Cixi winked at An Dehai, the eunuch in charge. An Dehai immediately picked up his hat and chased him out. Then the two queens left, and the waist pole given by Tongzhi faded instantly. This evening passed, and An Dehai was helping Cixi to press her feet, watching them make eyes at each other. Cixi and this little Anzi must have a story. The next day, Tongzhi complained to Cian that Zeng Guofan had embezzled public funds. George still wants to use the money to repair Yuanmingyuan. Cian persuaded him that he was full of loopholes in the court now. Don't worry about repairing the garden Tongzhi complained about the affair between Cixi and An Dehai, saying that babies often cry in Changchun Palace. This statement broke Cian's accusation. After all, the palace is full of Cixi's eyes. Then Cian asked him to pay tribute to Cixi. Tongzhi was storming out, but he accidentally bumped into him and sent him away.

Tongzhi said to send her another pair. The picture of two people pulling was captured by Yu Zi, the eyeliner of Cixi. A few days later, Tongzhi got a jade bracelet to make amends for Gui Lian. The scene of their happy chat was seen by Yuzi and An Dehai. From Yu Zi's mouth, she learned that she was pregnant for three months and the baby was An Dehai. It turned out that Cixi's personal eunuch turned out to be a man. A few days later, Yu Zi's body suddenly appeared in the moat. Time flies and the Forbidden City is busy. Gui Lian sent the newly fired wedding porcelain to the palace of Empress Dowager Cixi. Unexpectedly, it was smashed by reckless tongzhi, which was a heinous crime. Tongzhi soon invited Prince Gong and Tang, the head of the imperial kiln, and finally muddled through with a set of defective products. However, at the signal of An Dehai, Cixi touched the only defective product, and then flew into a rage. Fortunately, Tongzhi took the responsibility on himself and forgot that there was money to plead. This box looks at Tongzhi Gui getting closer and closer. An Dehai made a bad move by poking Cixi into marrying her brother, Andeshan Gui Lian. Cixi thought she had just solved a worry, so she agreed. I didn't expect the groom to be An Dehai himself. After Gui Lian found out that she had been cheated, she would rather die than follow. In a rage, An Dehai sold her to brothels in eight hutongs, and she lived a legal life day by day. Hui Fei, who entered the palace not long ago, took her sisters to Cixi and cried, saying that the emperor only loved the queen, and they could not even see the face of the emperor. Originally, it was just the jealousy of the concubines, but this Hui Fei was eloquent and fanned the flames, saying that the queen and the emperor sang a little song privately to arrange for the queen mother.

This queen is the queen of Ci 'an, not bad. Cixi came to the queen's bedroom in a rage, just to see Tongzhi and the queen singing a folk song about the old lady and applauding happily. This made Cixi angry enough. She angrily denounced the queen for not being worthy of the mother instrument, and punished Tongzhi for a month to study hard. Tongzhi, who was confined, was bored and could only look at erotic pictures. Prince Gong's son took the opportunity to encourage him. Tongzhi went out of the Forbidden City through a secret passage and came to Tianqiao. The busy streets dazzled comrades. Gui Lian saw a familiar figure in the crowd and was dragged back to the brothel before he could recognize him. Tongzhi was so happy that he had never seen such a lively scene. After returning to the palace, the two queens have been waiting for him in hall of mental cultivation. Cixi was furious and killed her personal eunuch. She also repeatedly used the glorious achievements of her ancestors to spur Tongzhi. From then on, Tongzhi dared not leave the palace. One day, Zaicheng said that he met Gui Lian in Bada Hutong. Tongzhi was overjoyed and decided to find her. The brothel owner called in many girls, but none of them was Gui Lian who was infatuated with comrades. He got up to leave. The boss invited the live horse out of the shop.

The girl with the best job, comrade, decided to attend the meeting for a period of time. On the other hand, Gui Lian has lost her former appearance. She seems to have integrated into the life of a brothel. Like a walking corpse, she can only live on the good memories of Tongzhi. Soon after Tongzhi returned to the palace, he broke out in a rash. I heard that the emperor has been to Octopus. The doctor suspected it was willow leaf disease too much, but he was afraid to say it. At this time, the queen was pregnant, but she was infected. When Prince Gong knew it, he felt that the sky was falling. He told the doctor too much, and he was cured the same day. If this scandal spreads, it will shake the country at this moment of internal and external troubles. How did time become more free after Tongzhi? When he came to the Eight Hutong again, he actually saw Gui Lian, but at this time, Gui Lian was like a bitch, chasing a white client and beating him up, staring at Gui Lian who stood in front of him, and left without knowing it. When he came to Tianqiao, he happened to see a foreign film of the British and French allied forces burning down Yuanmingyuan, which evoked his sad memories. Stimulated by foreign films and Gui Lian, Tongzhi decided to restore Yuanmingyuan and learned a painful lesson from it. He took the Empress Dowager of the two palaces to the former site of Yuanmingyuan, invited the Prince Minister to discuss, and passionately told everyone their plans. But the ministers looked at each other, and Prince Gong was the first to stand up and say that the national treasury could not be used up, and ordered them to donate money to repair the Yuanmingyuan. Only in this way can the two Empresses Cixi live in the garden. Cixi understands that Tongzhi has grown up, started her own life and dared to challenge her authority. Seeing that her 40th birthday was coming, he knew that eunuchs were not allowed to leave Beijing, so he sent An Dehai to Beijing to prepare for her birthday. As a result, Tongzhi was so angry. Tongzhi, who had long resented An Dehai, decided to take the initiative to get rid of Cixi's confidant.

He ordered An Dehai to be executed on the spot and dismembered for three days. Since then, the problem of Tongzhi and Cixi has become a major event, and the queen's stomach is getting bigger day by day. If the child is born smoothly, it will be the next emperor, which means that Ci 'an is about to seize real power, and Cixi will never allow such a thing to happen. At this time, Hui Fei, who was jealous of the Queen, spread rumors that Liu Hua's disease was infected by the Queen. After listening to it, Cixi got a plan and got a terminal illness. The scene of tongzhi's chest pain happened to be seen by Cixi. She felt that the queen was shameless at this time, and she was so angry that she scolded and scratched the queen's face. The queen fell to the ground in pain, and Cixi stumbled out of bed to save people. She died when she was about to meet the queen. She could have made great efforts to tongzhi after leading the government, but eventually she was wiped out by smallpox. 19 years old, Empress Ci 'an couldn't stand the blow and couldn't afford to get sick. Cixi's cruel and ruthless made Cian think of it. At this time, it was the time when the edict left by Emperor Xianfeng came into play. After Ci 'an fell ill, he came to see Cixi specially, and with righteous words, he scolded her for every crime. However, Cixi was eloquent and fickle, and played the emotional card to stage the sisters' tears. Cian, who knew the true face of Cixi, stopped buying it. Desperate Cixi suddenly fainted, and Ci 'an hurried to help and found Cixi's leg bleeding. Hui Fei on the side explained that Cixi was eager to save people, cut off the meat on her leg and made medicine for Ci 'an. Cian was deeply moved. Now she burned the imperial edict of the first emperor and saw a snicker floating around her mouth. In the second year of Tongzhi, Xianfeng's younger brother's son was made Emperor Guangxu.

Since then, Cixi has monopolized power for more than ten years and became the actual supreme ruler in the late Qing Dynasty. "The Demon Queen of the Generation" tells the story that Cixi tried her best to monopolize the power after the Tongzhi emperor succeeded to the throne and the Empress Dowager of the two palaces listened to politics. As the ruler of the Qing Dynasty for decades, Cixi has so much to explore that director Li Hanxiang uses the Qing Palace trilogy to ponder her, just like two classic books, Burning Yuanmingyuan and Listening to Politics. Empress Dowager Cixi was played as soon as she was born, the cowardly and lecherous Tongzhi Emperor was played by Chen, and the lush Gong Li played the maid. It is a legend to form such a lineup today, and Empress Dowager Cixi herself is also a legend. There are many voices about her merits and demerits in history, and later generations have different opinions. Many film and television works describe her, mostly like other autocratic female characters, such as Lv Hou Dou Taihou Wu Zetian, who is ruthless and scheming.

It is a one-sided view to identify Cixi as a sinner in China. It is true that Cixi's harem was in charge of eliminating dissidents, monopolizing state affairs, seizing military supplies and holding birthday banquets for her own power, and cooperating with western powers, which accelerated the collapse of the Qing Dynasty. It is true that during her reign, the Qing Dynasty signed a treaty humiliating her power and country, but it is undeniable that her iron fist rule maintained the stability of the late Qing Dynasty for a long time. At that time, the Qing Dynasty was plagued by internal troubles and foreign invasion, and its first emperor died early. The country is in danger, the righteous emperor occupied the major forces in the capital, and the Qing dynasty was in danger. But she knew how to make good use of people regardless of her family background, and reused Zeng Guofan and Li Hongzhang, ministers of China. After realizing the gun threat of western powers, she supported the development of the Westernization Movement and the subsequent measures such as the Boxer Rebellion's New Deal, banning opium, setting up girls' schools, abolishing the imperial examination, and opening new schools, which also created an atmosphere of "ruling together and rejuvenating the country". It's a pity that she met the trend of the replacement of old and new times. The decadent ruling class represented by the Qing Dynasty is doomed to be eliminated. Although the result is not satisfactory and she has done a lot of stupid things, this broken endurance is beyond the reach of ordinary people. Anyone can comment.

But not everyone has the courage to make a decision, and those who make decisions often have to bear more discussion afterwards. To evaluate historical figures, we should consider their environment at that time, and not evaluate their political behavior by the standards of the afterlife. There are only a few biographies of historical figures in the official history. In order to highlight the legend, unofficial history loved it too much based on his descendants' evaluation of the merits and demerits of Wu Zetian's leaving a tablet without words. I have seen a saying that the long-term rule of the Qing Dynasty hindered the rise of the Chinese nation in the future, and Cixi, throughout her life, was just a bug that was run over by the wheel of a calendar, because the birth of new things was to absorb nutrients from the body of old things and thrive, because Cixi's life was too complicated. Please forgive me if I say something wrong. The above only represents my personal opinion.
