Guangxu just died, why did Cixi also follow Emperor Guangxu and passed away?

The reason why Cixi died the day after Guangxu died is likely that Cixi ordered people to poison Guangxu after feeling that she would not live long. Because he knew that Guangxu would do it against him, Cixi was afraid that after his death, Guangxu would take control of the power, and Guangxu would do something unfavorable to him, so Cixi simply poisoned Guangxu to death. <>

Cixi was the empress of Emperor Xianfeng, and after Xianfeng's death, Cixi began to gradually control the power of the Qing Dynasty, especially after the death of his own son, Emperor Tongzhi, who was later than Xianfeng. It can be said that the real emperor of the Qing Dynasty at this time was Cixi. After that, Cixi made her sister's son the new emperor of the Qing Dynasty, that is, the Guangxu Emperor.

Although Guangxu has become an emperor, he is a complete puppet and an ornament. Although Guangxu held power for a period of time during his lifetime, it didn't take long for Guangxu to be revoked by Cixi, and finally Guangxu was imprisoned until death. The day after Guangxu's death, Cixi also died.

Although it is recorded in history that Guangxu died of illness, it is not the case after the test of later generations. Because through the technology of later generations, it was discovered that Guangxu was poisoned. So, as Guangxu, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, who would dare to poison him?

The answer is also very straightforward, only Cixi dares to do so, and she also has the motive to poison Guangxu.

Guangxu had the power to govern for a period of time during his lifetime, and of course it was Cixi who deliberately indulged the power to him. During this time, Guangxu launched the famous Wuxu Reform, and a very important condition in the Wuxu Reform was to abolish Cixi, but in the end, Yuan Shikai's rebellion led to the failure of the reform, and Guangxu was also imprisoned by Cixi to death. <>

Coupled with Guangxu's previous past with Cixi, it shows that Guangxu hates Cixi very much. When Cixi died, Guangxu, as the legitimate emperor of the Qing Dynasty, no one would be able to stop Guangxu, and Guangxu would also cause some disadvantages to Cixi after his death.

Cixi may have been killed because her death was so sudden. The death of Emperor Guangxu may have died at the hands of others, and the most suspicious was the Empress Dowager Cixi, so there may be Guangxu's henchmen who suspected Cixi and killed her.

I think it may be that Cixi killed Guangxu, because she was motivated, she hated Guangxu deeply, and the physical condition of the two was not good. If Cixi dies first, then Guangxu will naturally return to power, and Cixi will attack first, poison Guangxu to death, and you can ensure that you have no worries after death.

Cixi was already an old man at that time, and her time was short, so she ordered Emperor Guangxu to be poisoned before she died, so the two of them died two days ago.

Mainly because of Cixi's age, at the end of the Qing Dynasty, Cixi was under very, very great pressure as a Lafayette who listened to the government, so his health deteriorated.

Guangxu was poisoned by someone, it is very likely that he was poisoned by Cixi, and it must have something to do with Cixi's death, so it was only one day away from Cixi's death, Cixi was probably afraid that he would be liquidated by Emperor Guangxu after his death, so he chose to kill Guangxu to protect his posthumous affairs.

Guangxu died the day before Cixi's death, such a coincidental time, let many people speculate about the cause of Guangxu's death, and according to Puyi's autobiography, many people said that Guangxu was poisoned by Cixi when he died, and Puyi's autobiography recorded that Cixi may have been poisoned by Yuan Shikai, because Yuan Shikai betrayed the Wuxu Change, afraid of being liquidated by Guangxu, so he chose to poison Guangxu, this statement is not quite in line with the situation, Yuan Shikai was not in the capital at that time, and Yuan Shikai did not have the strength to buy the imperial doctor, so it was eligible at that time, There is a motive, and the only one who has the ability to poison Guangxu is Cixi.

Guangxu and Cixi have a long grudge, Guangxu is the little emperor selected by Cixi, but since birth is a puppet, never one day to grasp power, he inherited the throne when he was very young, this is also the reason why Cixi chose him in the first place, it is precisely because of his young age that Cixi can justifiably listen to the government, when the emperor was young, Cixi had a reason to listen to the government, but after the emperor's wedding, Cixi's reason to listen to the government is not so sufficient, but Guangxu has no foundation, the strength is too weak, It has not been able to regain its rights.

Guangxu did not give up, so he launched the Wuxu Reform, wanting to obtain a part of the new rights through the change, but it still failed, the change ended in a hurry, and Guangxu was also imprisoned by Cixi, and never came out again. And Cixi's motive for poisoning Guangxu before she died was this grudge between the two. Cixi was very aware of his behavior towards Guangxu, he was afraid that he would be pulled out by optics to whip the corpse after his death, so he took Guangxu away before he died, and let the young Pu Yi ascend the throne as emperor.

The cause of death is more strange, and there are many theories. The first is a normal death. According to the records of the Qing Palace, a year before Guangxu's death, that is, when he was thirty-seven years old, his health was already very bad, and he lost sperm more than a dozen times a month, and the more he went to the back, the more serious the situation became.

The second is the more recognized poisoning. And the poisoners in this are divided into Empress Dowager Cixi, Li Lianying and Yuan Shikai and others. The difference of one day is also related to the cause of death, and the specific cause is unknown.

Death in war, so such a war is terrible. It may be that they have a good relationship, and both of them miss each other too much.

Emperor Guangxu died at the age of 19, and Emperor Guangxu contracted smallpox, so the trend was caused. It was only a day before the death of the Empress Dowager Cixi, which was very coincidental.

In 2008, on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the death of Emperor Guangxu, the special research group on the cause of death of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty, jointly composed of the National Qing History Compilation Committee, the Qing Xiling Cultural Relics Management Office, the ** TV Station, the China Institute of Atomic Energy, and the Forensic Inspection and Identification Center of the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau, determined that Guangxu died because of "acute gastrointestinal arsenic poisoning". Through modern forensic methods, researchers have repeatedly tested, researched and analyzed the hair, bones, clothes and environmental samples inside and outside the tomb of Guangxu's body. Experts found that Guangxu's collar and hair were contaminated with high concentrations of arsenic trioxide (i.e., arsenic), and that the arsenic trioxide in the stomach area of his robe was caused by the erosion of body fluids during the decay of the corpse, and the arsenic trioxide in his hair and collar was also left over from the erosion of corpse fluids [2][3].

Ordinary people can be poisoned by oral administration of 60 to 200 mg of arsenic. The total amount of arsenic detected on some of Emperor Guangxu's clothes and hair alone has been as high as about 201 milligrams.

It is rumored in the wild history that Emperor Guangxu ordered Guangxu to be poisoned when Cixi felt that he was about to die.
