    If in the last years of the Qing Dynasty, Cixi really handed over the real power to Guangxu, what would be the final result?

    That's useless, the Qing Dynasty was at the end of the road at that time, and there was no way out except complete death.

    Then the strength of the Qing Dynasty may increase, and it will not be invaded and robbed by the Eight-Nation Alliance, and it may be even stronger.

    I think that if Cixi had handed over real power to Guangxu, Guangxu might have comprehensively promoted reform, because Guangxu recognized the achievements of reform.

    Emperor Guangxu will insist on reforming the law, and then become a small accomplished emperor.

    There are actually many reasons why Emperor Guangxu did not remove Cixi from taking power alone. First of all, Emperor Guangxu had no legitimate reason to get rid of Cixi, because during the reign of Emperor Guangxu, the person in power had always been Empress Cixi, although Empress Cixi suppressed Emperor Guangxu, but Emperor Guangxu had no way to come up with a reason to oppose him. Moreover, we have always put filial piety first in ancient times, and if Emperor Guangxu ordered the execution of Cixi, it would be criticized.

    Moreover, the Empress Dowager Cixi also holds real power in her hands, and once she is taken out by Emperor Guangxu, it may cause national and social turmoil, especially under the influence of Western powers, which may cause a crisis in the whole country. And the emperor's ability alone is not as good as the Empress Dowager Cixi, even if the Guangxu Emperor once implemented the reform, but under the intervention of the Empress Dowager Cixi, the reform also failed, so under the internal and external troubles at that time, it is difficult to say that the Guangxu Emperor was able to run the country well after getting rid of the Empress Dowager Cixi.

    Emperor Guangxu has been raised by the Empress Dowager Cixi since he was a child, so his character is relatively weak, and he is also very indecisive, even if he began to govern himself after adulthood, he has not changed this character, and still under the influence of the Empress Dowager Cixi, many things are still decided by the Empress Dowager Cixi. This can also be seen in the employment of Emperor Guangxu, when Emperor Guangxu attached great importance to Yuan Shikai when he changed the law, but he was sold by Yuan Shikai when he turned his head, which also led to the final failure of the reform.

    In fact, the life of Emperor Guangxu can be said to be very miserable, in the process of ruling has always been very unfortunate, although there is a desire to change the entire situation of the Qing Dynasty, but the power can not really do, has been subject to the Empress Dowager Cixi. Later, in 1898, with the support of Emperor Guangxu, Kang Youwei and others carried out the Wuxu Reform, but they were cut off by the Empress Dowager Cixi, and the Empress Dowager Cixi also imprisoned the Guangxu Emperor in Yingtai. This method also made Emperor Guangxu completely lose his self-confidence and dare not compete with the Empress Dowager Cixi for power.

    In the end, Emperor Guangxu died the day before the Empress Dowager Cixi, and the cause of death of the two people was constantly discussed by later generations, and various conjectures emerged one after another. It was more suspected that the Empress Dowager Cixi was afraid that Emperor Guangxu would control the imperial power, so she was ruthless.

    Guangxu removed Cixi? Emperor Guangxu has always been the puppet of the Empress Dowager Cixi and has always been controlled by the Empress Dowager Cixi. As soon as he wanted to govern independently, get rid of Cixi's control, and engage in a Wuxu change, he was pressed down by the Empress Dowager Cixi, and he could no longer turn over!

    Why didn't Emperor Guangxu want to be in power alone? But does he have the strength? His dream of being in power alone had just begun to be implemented when it was completely shattered.

    Because he didn't have this ability, Cixi had always been cautious and not so easy to kill.

    In fact, it was not that he didn't get rid of Cixi, but that he didn't have that ability at that time, because Cixi's rights were still relatively large.

    In addition to the fact that Guangxu did not have the support of the domestic public, he also did not receive support from abroad. Although, if Guangxu wanted to gain foreign support, under the colonial situation at that time, he might suffer a loss. However, Guangxu was completely able to use his strength, borrowing the hands of some foreign powers, to defeat the Cixi collective and defeat some other powers.

    Compared to the fact that he can call the shots, it is not too late to change the law. Guangxu did not straighten out the political system, so he ended up messing everything up in a miasma.

    How can Cixi be so easy to deal with, if Cixi is really so easy to deal with, he will not have the status he has now, so he has long thought that Guangxu will seize power, so there will be a lot of countermeasures.

  13. Anonymous users2024-01-25

    Because Cixi is the eldest aunt of Emperor Guangxu, and Emperor Guangxu is also supported by Cixi, if Emperor Guangxu directly seizes power, then Cixi will give Emperor Guangxu the death penalty, so Emperor Guangxu does not dare to seize it.

    Because Cixi was in a high position, Emperor Guangxu couldn't resist. It can only be at the mercy of others.

    The Wuxu change ended hastily, leaving a perfect impression in everyone's hearts. From this change, I personally feel that Emperor Guangxu still doesn't have much administrative experience, and he is not the ruler of the country like Kangxi. Therefore, if Cixi really handed over all the power to Guangxu, the already weak Qing Dynasty would not be able to withstand Guangxu's toss at all, and might die earlier.

    I think that even if Cixi hands over the real power to Guangxu, the final outcome is estimated to be about the same, because at this time, the Qing ** is no longer good, and any remedies are useless.

    At that time, it was the period of the Restoration, Guangxu was a reformist, if Cixi handed over the real power to Guangxu, it means that Cixi was also in favor of the Restoration movement, and China would complete the Meiji Restoration like Japan and establish a constitutional monarchy, although it was not a complete democracy, but it was also a big step forward, but unfortunately there was no if.

    The power has been given to him! But his ability is too poor! He should be mainly responsible for the defeat of the First Sino-Japanese War and the evil consequences caused by the Wuxu Reform!

    If the real power is handed over to Guangxu, there may be a little change, but in the end, the Qing Dynasty still can't get rid of the fate of collapse, because the corruption of the Qing Dynasty can no longer be done, and it must be completely necessary to save China.

    First of all, the revolution will succeed to a certain extent, try to open the door of China, the Qing Dynasty will learn to introduce advanced foreign ideas and culture, and the economy will be further improved. Secondly, foreign capitalism was developing rapidly at that time, and the plundering and occupation of resources would not stop...If the Qing Dynasty was willing to be the younger brother, it would only be a different way, and the Qing Dynasty would still be reduced to a puppet of the empire, and the people would still be in dire straits. In the end, the old feudal thinking will eventually be replaced, and the Qing Dynasty, as a feudal dynasty, will eventually be carried by the torrent of history.

    In the late Qing Dynasty, if Cixi handed over real power to Emperor Guangxu, I think the Qing Dynasty had not been destroyed so quickly, and Cixi obviously did not know much about politics, so it would lead to the demise of the Qing Dynasty.

    I'm afraid it's not any better, most of the traditional feudal imperial rule in the world died out during the period of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and the situation at that time was that sticking to the old ways would only be beaten, and only by changing the law thoroughly and becoming a great power was the only way out.

    There will be no change, after all, Emperor Guangxu was very weak at that time, and he did not have the ability to be an emperor.

    This is a false proposition that does not exist, from ancient times to the present, including in the future, it is impossible for someone to take the initiative to hand over power, unless your strength is stronger than him, human nature, so this is a false proposition, it does not exist.

    The changes should not be particularly big, because Guangxu himself is a puppet emperor, and he doesn't have many ideas.

  28. Anonymous users2024-01-10

    In the last years of the Qing Dynasty, if Guangxu was in power, the Qing Dynasty would inevitably fall, because the Qing Dynasty was a dynasty with a feudal system, which was far behind the advanced capitalist system and could not withstand the aggression of the capitalist countries.

    The ending will be the same, the Qing Dynasty will eventually be invaded by the Eight-Nation Alliance, but there will be a certain difference in time.
