What are the secret loves of Empress Dowager Cixi, the most powerful empress in Qing Dynasty?

1909, the Qing empire completely embarked on the road to extinction. As an important promoter of the demise of the Qing Empire, a woman gradually surfaced. This woman, who has been worshipped all her life, was nailed to the shame column of history for the first time, leaving a permanent shame. Empress Dowager Cixi can be said to be an unavoidable name in the political arena of the late Qing Dynasty. She has been in power for more than 40 years, killing countless people and plundering countless money. As a political expert, Empress Dowager Cixi's decision to wage war frightened her political opponents. As a mother, Empress Dowager Cixi was undoubtedly a failure. The death of Emperor Tongzhi had much to do with Empress Dowager Cixi. Empress Dowager Cixi applied her political means to family life, which led to a tragedy. One of the three lovers around Empress Dowager Cixi is a foreigner!

As a woman, Empress Dowager Cixi is undoubtedly lonely. Emperor Xianfeng's cowardly character caused her to be scared to death alive by the British and French Coalition forces in Jehol. Since then, Empress Dowager Cixi has completely lost her backer. If Empress Dowager Cixi is only content to be a maid-in-waiting, I'm afraid there will be no place for her. Fortunately, Empress Dowager Cixi is an ambitious woman. After the death of Emperor Xianfeng, Empress Dowager Cixi rushed back to Beijing overnight and won the political initiative, but then Su Shun, a senior official of the regime, and others got into trouble.

Empress Dowager Cixi had three lovers in her life. The first is her own brother-in-law, Prince Gong. , Prince Gong Yi? Ability is far above Xianfeng emperor. When Daoguang chose his successor, he was also struggling. In a dilemma, Emperor Xianfeng's dying cry helped him get the imperial power, but then the Qing Empire lost its last hope, and Empress Dowager Cixi always had a different feeling for this brother-in-law. At the most critical moment, Yi? Stand firmly behind Empress Dowager Cixi and become the strongest backing behind Empress Dowager Cixi. Of course, as a woman, being able to get the support of such a talented and capable brother-in-law at the most critical time can be said to be enough to make this unusual relationship go further.

The second is the military affairs minister Rong Lu. The appearance of Rong Lu can be said to be another noble in the fate of Empress Dowager Cixi. Without Rong Lu's firm support, Empress Dowager Cixi would take great risks in the Reform Movement of 1898. Nowadays, many TV dramas about the secret history of the Qing Dynasty are describing the unusual relationship between Rong Lu and Empress Dowager Cixi, but most of them are groundless. But if Empress Dowager Cixi is really interested in this aspect, Rong Lu is definitely the most suitable candidate.

The third lover of Empress Dowager Cixi was Bacchus, a foreign aristocrat and writer. In order to find inspiration for writing, Bacchus came to China, soon entered the court, and was quickly appreciated by Empress Dowager Cixi. Of course, Empress Dowager Cixi took a fancy not only to Bacchus' talent, but also to his sweet words. To tell the truth, Bacchus has a sweet and handsome mouth. As for the relationship between Empress Dowager Cixi and Empress Barkis, back in China, Barkis also wrote a book called "Empress Dowager Cixi and I", which described the private lives of Empress Barkis and Empress Dowager Cixi very explicitly. However, domestic insiders have lost their lives. Fortunately, Bacchus didn't write this book until he returned to China, otherwise I'm afraid he would have died with this brilliant writing.
