After the death of Cixi, Li was in a very difficult situation. How can she live?

Let's start with eunuchs. In ancient times, they were also called eunuchs Officials are constellations surrounded by another star. Therefore, ancient people called people with certain positions eunuchs. With the passage of time, the duties of eunuchs have changed, and they have gradually become dedicated to serving the emperor, and sometimes they can also serve the queen, princes and princes under the orders of the emperor. The eunuchs in the early years were not completely incorruptible, and it was not until the Eastern Han Dynasty that such inhuman regulations were made.

1908 is destined to be an important era in the history of China. 10 year 10 22, Emperor Guangxu and Empress Dowager Cixi passed away one after another, which was undoubtedly a great blow to Li as a second-class official and eunuch manager. On second thought, it's time to retire.

The reason why Li was appreciated by Cixi was that besides her loyalty to her master, she was also very capable of working. Basically, she always pays attention to all directions and listens to all directions. She can and can do errands. Here is an example. When Cixi fled west with Guangxu, she lived in a temple. Guangxu didn't have a quilt, so Li gave it to Guangxu, but she stayed up all night and kept blaming herself for her poor work, which moved everyone present.

After Xuan Tong succeeded to the throne, his father Zai Feng was the Regent. He has been worried about Guangxu's death. He always thought that Li was behind the scenes, and the shrewd Li saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart. In order to escape the court's frame-up, he put his years' income in seven big boxes and gave it to the queen mother Yulong. He said with tears that these are all things in the palace and the old slave has kept them.

Looking back on the past, out of respect for myself and Emperor Guangxu, I made a special decree to allow Li's "former official to leave the palace" to support the elderly and give him gold and silver. At this time, Guangxu and Cixi have been together for a hundred days. The "former official leaving the palace" here means that even if Li left the palace, he was still a second-class official in the Qing Dynasty, just like the political treatment that officials now enjoy after retirement. But for an old official like Li, he panicked, seemingly free, but in fact it was the court's control over himself.

1at the beginning of 909, Li moved into the Cotton Hutong in Beijing in a low-key way, and lived in the palace for more than 50 years. When the palace is in power, he will certainly get what he deserves. He began to spend all his money, leaving nothing for himself, so as to die a natural death. Still, he didn't do it. +0965438+.
