    In order to maintain the emperor's respect, the palace covered up the matter of syphilis in many ways, and only said that it was smallpox. One day, the Empress of Tongzhi went to visit the Yang Xin Palace, and told him that the Empress Dowager Cixi scolded her for trivial things, and she cried out loud. Cixi didn't like this daughter-in-law in the first place, and set up eyes and ears to monitor.

    On this day, Cixi heard that the empress was going to visit the emperor, so she personally went to the outside of the East Warm Pavilion of the Yangxin Palace to eavesdrop on their conversation. When she heard the queen telling her that she was wrong, she burst in in a rage, grabbed her by the hair, raised her hand and beat her, and told the eunuchs of the inner court to prepare sticks and whip the queen severely. Seeing this, Tongzhi was so frightened that he fainted, and Cixi did not torture the queen.

    Tongzhi's illness became more and more serious, and he died on the fifth day of December in the thirteenth year of Tongzhi (January 12, 1875) in the East Warm Pavilion of the Yangxin Palace.

    There were various theories about the cause of Emperor Tongzhi's death, but the Qing Dynasty officials remained silent and did not defend themselves. Therefore, what disease Tongzhi died of has become a historical mystery.

    The Lord Tongzhi died of smallpox syphilis. It is also mainly inferred from historical archives and documentary materials. The symptoms diagnosed by the imperial doctor are:

    Dampness and poison gather by the void, the waist is red, swollen and ulcerated, pus is diffuse, the legs are painful and spasmed, and the head and neck, arms, and knees are swollen and painful. This view is that the two diseases are treated at the same time, or the first smallpox is not cured and then becomes syphilis, or the first syphilis is contracted and smallpox, and the two diseases are combined, and the treatment is ineffective and he dies.

    I think it is love for Emperor Tongzhi and control for Emperor Guangxu. Because the Empress Dowager Cixi gave Emperor Tongzhi a lot of power, but did not give Emperor Guangxu power.

    I think Cixi's control over the Tongzhi Emperor is the same as the treatment of the Guangxu Emperor, because Cixi wants to take power for herself.

    Cixi was in love with Emperor Tongzhi, which was different from that for Emperor Guangxu. Cixi really loved Emperor Tongzhi because Emperor Tongzhi was her own son.

    As with Guangxu, it is control, Cixi is a person who is greedy for power, so she controls the emperor for the sake of power.

    Tongzhi was Cixi's only son, but unfortunately died of smallpox at the age of nineteen. Guangxu's mother is Cixi's own sister, Cixi is Guangxu's aunt, and Guangxu's father is the younger brother of Emperor Xianfeng.

    Emperor Tongzhi died of illness.

    On the fifth day of December in the thirteenth year of Tongzhi, that is, on January 12, 1875, the Tongzhi Emperor Zaichun died of illness in the Forbidden City's Yangxin Palace. Emperor Tongzhi was only nineteen years old when he died.

    Because Emperor Tongzhi had no heirs, after the death of Emperor Tongzhi, the two empress dowagers Cixi and Ci'an immediately summoned Prince Alcohol's son Zai Xiang into the palace, and after discussing with Prince Alcohol, he succeeded Zai Xiang to Emperor Tongzhi and became the heir emperor, that is, Emperor Guangxu.

    There is a theory that Tongzhi was actually killed by Cixi. But in fact, there is no need for Cixi to kill her own son in order to interfere in politics. After all, even if Tongzhi is here, Cixi can listen to the government and control the court.

    So Tongzhi is Cixi's shield, and she doesn't need to kill her own son.

    No, the death of Emperor Tongzhi was caused by himself, and under the power of Cixi, he felt that he had nothing to do, so he ran to the brothel every day and contracted Hualiu disease, so he died early.

    I don't think it was Cixi who killed him, Tongzhi is the biological son of the Empress Dowager Cixi, and the tiger poison does not eat children.
