Cixi originally allowed the law to be changed, why did she kill the six gentlemen of Wuxu later?

Because it was only Cixi's expedient measure to allow the law to be changed, she found an excuse in the later period and killed the six gentlemen of Wuxu.

The supporters of the Wuxu Reform directly threatened Cixi's safety and wanted to launch a mutiny to assassinate Cixi, so Cixi was enraged and wanted to kill the leader of the reform to deter those who tried to threaten her.

Because in the real sense, Cixi is not allowed to change the law in her heart, which has no benefit or benefit to her, so she can kill these six gentlemen.

At the entrance of the Caishikou in Beijing, Tan Sitong, Yang Rui, Liu Guangdi, Lin Xu, Yang Shenxiu, and Kang Guangren 6 people died under the butcher's knife, known as the "Six Gentlemen of Wuxu" in history. The main content of the Wuxu Reform Law was to learn from the advanced culture of the West, reform the bad domestic system, and support the development of the social economy, but it threatened the interests of Cixi.

The Empress Dowager Cixi definitely didn't really allow the change of the law, it didn't do her any good, it touched her interests, so she later killed the six gentlemen of Wuxu.

The changes advocated by the six gentlemen of Wuxu will inevitably affect Cixi's status in the court and disperse her power, so she will not be able to do whatever she wants.

Cixi allowed the change at first because she was forced to do that, and she had to agree first, and then she wanted to use an excuse to kill the six gentlemen of Wuxu.

Because the Wuxu Reform Law harmed the interests of the conservative faction led by the Empress Dowager Cixi, it was opposed by Cixi.

At first, the Empress Dowager Cixi supported the Wuxu Reform, but took a wait-and-see attitude towards the new reform, and it was not until the Wuxu Reform touched the interests of the aristocratic class and touched the authority of the Empress Dowager Cixi's rule that she finally opposed it.

That's because Tan Si and Kang Youwei's claims were also absurd, they advocated war with Japan, which resulted in the defeat of the First Sino-Japanese War, the annihilation of the Beiyang Naval Division, and the loss of a lot of money, and they actually wanted to sell Xinjiang to foreigners to raise money.

Because at the beginning, the Empress Dowager Cixi did not expect that the Wuxu reform could have such a great effect, and finally saw that the Wuxu reform touched her own interests, so she was so opposed in the end.

Because the reformers promoted reforms violated the rule of the die-hards.

The Wuxu Reform Law, also known as the Hundred Days Restoration and the Reform Law, refers to the political reform movement carried out by the reformists through Emperor Guangxu from June 11 to September 21, 1898, advocating learning from the West, advocating science and culture, reforming the political and educational systems, and developing agriculture, industry, and commerce.

On September 21, 1898, the Empress Dowager Cixi and others launched a coup d'état, Emperor Guangxu was imprisoned in Yingtai, Zhongnanhai, Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao of the reform faction fled to France and Japan respectively, and the six gentlemen of Wuxu, Tan Sitong, Kang Guangren, Lin Xu, Yang Shenxiu, Yang Rui, and Liu Guangdi were killed, and the reform failed for 103 days.

First of all, the political environment at that time was that Emperor Guangxu had just come of age, and according to the legislation of the Qing Dynasty, the power at this time should be gradually transferred to the hands of Guangxu, and all the powers before that were in the hands of Cixi, who was unwilling to relinquish power so early.

Secondly: the change of law directly led to the interests of many rulers, including many ** and big capitalists. In particular, many Manchu nobles had a greater conflict of interest, which led to the opposition of these Manchu nobles to Cixi.

In the end: With the participation of many old-fashioned diehards, Cixi pushed the boat down the river, not only put Guangxu under house arrest, but also arrested the people who changed the law.

Throughout history, supporters of the reform must have absolute rights and must have military power, otherwise the reform is a joke. Source: "Qing History Manuscript" Wuxu Reform Law and the Ministry of Education's Modern History High School Edition.

In fact, you have already said half of the answer, the Empress Dowager Cixi and others are diehards, and the Wuxu Reform is a reform movement, and the ideas of the reformers must be contrary to the interests of the diehards! There is always resistance to reform, both ancient and modern, both at home and abroad! The result of the reform will depend on the comparison of strength and the external environment!

Because of the Wuxu change, the foundation of the Empress Dowager Cixi was shaken and the interests of the Empress Dowager were angered. Therefore, the Empress Dowager Cixi wanted to destroy the Wuxu Reform.

It harmed its own interests, and the Wuxu Reform Law was harmful to the interests of the ruling class such as Cixi, so it was destroyed.

I think the main reason is that the Empress Dowager Cixi is afraid that this change will change her privileged life, and the Empress Dowager Cixi does not want to take risks doing something unfavorable to herself.

Because the Wuxu Reform Law blocked the interests of the Empress Dowager Cixi and the rule of the Qing Dynasty, she wanted to destroy the Wuxu Reform Law.

I'm going to kill her! Should she be killed?

In order to relieve the hatred in his heart, he warned Guangxu and other revolutionaries.

62616964757a686964616fe58685e5aeb931333433653930, Cixi directly ordered the sacrifice of the most blunt "great general saber" in the history of the Qing Dynasty, this great general saber is inherently "blunt" enough, it has no blade at all, it is almost a piece of iron, like a saw. Coupled with the fact that it has not been used for many years and has long been rusted, it is undoubtedly a "bloodthirsty maniac" for death row prisoners.

Cixi intended to let Tan Sitong see the other people being tortured by blunt knives one by one, and finally cut off the head after more than a dozen knives, so she arranged for him to be the fifth executioner, Cixi thought that Tan Sitong would show fear, even pain and remorse, and even faint to death in fright.

Tan Sitong faced the death of his companions and the cheers of the ignorant people, but he was not a little timid, and shouted very calmly: Look at the door and think about Zhang Jian, endure death and wait for Dugan; I smiled at the sky with my horizontal knife, and went to leave the liver and gallbladder two Kunlun.

Practical blunt knives, they can't die once, and torturing them like this is better than death.

Because there is no way to do it at once with a blunt knife, I want to torture them.

The reason why the blunt knife was used is that I think it was Cixi to torture the six sons of Wuxu.

Because the death of the blunt knife is slow, it can be seen how vicious this woman is in her heart.

This is the ruthlessness of Cixi, the blunt knife lasts for a long time, and she suffers a lot of crimes.

It is not necessary to use a blunt knife to torture these people in order to make an example of them.

When executing the six gentlemen of Wuxu, Cixi ordered the use of blunt knives, which was tantamount to another way.

Li Hongzhang couldn't plead directly with the Empress Dowager Cixi, so he found Rong Lu and asked Rong Lu to help him say good things in front of the Empress Dowager Cixi. Rong Lu received the favor of Li Hongzhang in his early years, so he agreed to this matter, and pleaded for Xu Zhijing in front of the Empress Dowager Cixi, and the Empress Dowager Cixi looked through the travel records of Emperor Guangxu, and sure enough, he had no contact with Xu Zhijing, so Xu Zhijing was changed to detention.

This seventh person is Xu Zhijing, one of the backbone members of the Hundred Days Restoration, and he is ** with the Six Gentlemen of Wuxu. But his father was a good friend of Li Hongzhang, and he himself was appreciated by Li Hongzhang. Li Hongzhang turned to Rong Lu for help and persuaded Cixi, but he was finally sentenced to "behead the prison marquis" and was spared death.

Because one of them is a woman's family, there will only be the title of six gentlemen.

Because there are people in the court who are good officials. Li Hongzhang and Xu Zhijing's father are close friends and have a deep personal relationship. Li Hongzhang rescued Xu Zhijing.

Yes, Cixi just wants to warn everyone that anyone who opposes her will end up like this, and it is also to warn Emperor Guangxu not to disobey him, and everything must be done according to his own will.

I think so. Because the Empress Dowager Cixi had to do this, only in this way could she establish her majesty.
