Why was Empress Dowager Cixi called Lafayette in history?

I believe everyone should know that the Empress Dowager Cixi held a very high position in the Qing Dynasty. Besides, in the TV series Princess Zhu Huan, the Empress Dowager was called Galeries Lafayette. However, there are not many people named Lafayette in history. After sunset, the name Lafayette basically refers to Empress Dowager Cixi. So why is Empress Dowager Cixi called Terrafayette? Come and have a look with me!

First of all, Cixi is called Lafayette because she trusts Li the most. In the early years of Guangxu, Li had to be unhappy in order to listen to politics again. In order to flatter Cixi, Li built a Buddha statue behind Manjuji Daxiong Hall.

Secondly, after the completion of the Buddha statue, Li happily reported to Cixi that Manjuji often had two Buddha statues. After hearing this, Cixi was certainly overjoyed. She took a sedan chair, took a boat and reversed several times, and finally came to Manjuji. However, when she came to the Hall of the Great Hero, Cixi only saw the Buddha III, and suddenly became furious. Isn't this Buddha III? Where did the Double Buddha shine? Li took her to the back of Daxiong Hall, where a Guanyin statue was carved separately, and this Guanyin statue was carved according to the appearance of Cixi.

Third, before Cixi came, Li had called all the ministers together to witness this rare moment. Ministers, presiding officers and monks got together, and Cixi smiled when she saw this Guanyin. At this time, Li seized the opportunity and shouted: Lafayette has arrived, and the ministers knelt on the ground and shouted in unison: Welcome Lafayette. Cixi pretended to be surprised Who are you welcoming? Li suddenly pointed out that the minions all welcome the Queen Mother Lafayette! You are the Guanyin Bodhisattva who saved us. And further request to Cixi, the current emperor is too old to govern the state affairs, and the country can't live without a monarch for a day, so please ask Lafayette to listen to politics. In this way, Cixi once again listened to politics and mastered the power of life and death in the Qing Dynasty.

Finally, some people say that this is the personal behavior of eunuch Li himself, but I think it is secretly inspired by Cixi. In the face of the strong opposition of the DPRK ministers, I had to make this decision in order to regain control of the Qing regime. The above is the origin of the name of Cixi Lafayette.
