Lafayette Wei Zi was injured.

At that time, two county magistrates invited Cixi to dinner. One was killed by Cixi and the other was promoted. The completely different endings of these two people are mainly due to their different time.

When Eight-Nation Alliance invaded China, Empress Dowager Cixi was driven out of Beijing and took refuge in Shanxi. At that time, although Shanxi was poor, there were still many local snacks. The first county magistrate who invited Cixi to dinner was surnamed Xu. Because Xujiali was poor, there was nothing delicious for Cixi at that time, but he was very clever. He sent someone to find out that Cixi didn't often eat noodles, so he tried to make a bowl of noodles for Cixi. After Cixi ate it, she was promoted and made a fortune.

A few days later, Empress Dowager Cixi's motorcade arrived in another county in Shanxi. This county magistrate is called Zhao county magistrate. He learned that Empress Dowager Cixi liked noodles a while ago and planned to make a bowl of noodles for Empress Dowager Cixi like the previous county magistrate.

However, he never imagined that in the process of obtaining raw materials, people who took raw materials fell down from the mountain. Although he didn't fall to death, he was seriously injured. Empress Dowager Cixi at that time was unhappy immediately after hearing the news. At that time, she didn't like noodles that much, but she was really hungry when she passed by Xu Zhifu. The second reason is that she doesn't want to cause a person to almost die because of eating, which is the last thing she wants to see, so the county magistrate Zhao was directly dragged out and beheaded by Empress Dowager Cixi.

The two county magistrates have different experiences, because their timing is different. Xu county magistrate succeeded in grasping the psychology that Empress Dowager Cixi was hungry and had never eaten, while Zhao county magistrate failed to seize the opportunity to anger Empress Dowager Cixi and died.
