After the death of Emperor Tongzhi, what did the Empress Dowager Cixi say that stunned the courtiers

She said "how the curtain will be hung after that", which surprised them because it meant that the Empress Dowager Cixi was in power for a long time afterward, which was not a good thing for them.

What about the drape after that? It was Cixi's original words, after Tongzhi's death, Cixi was no longer satisfied with the harem, she began to intervene in the government and became a strong woman who later ruled the Manchu Dynasty!

Ci'an is not Guangxu's mother, Guangxu's father is Prince Alcohol, and his mother is Cixi's sister, and Ci'an has no children.

After the coup d'état, Cixi understood that there was no possibility of reconciling between Guangxu and her, when the Eight-Nation Coalition Army entered Beijing in the year of Gengzi, the Qing soldiers were repeatedly defeated and unable to stop the foreign soldiers, Cixi felt cornered and was ready to commit suicide, she decided that she could not let Guangxu live in the world. During the critical illness of the Empress Dowager Cixi, she hesitated about what to do with Guangxu, so she revealed the news of her death to Guangxu to know, but her close attendants returned, Guangxu had been slightly happy, so Cixi decided that before she died of illness, Guangxu must die before her own death, so as not to have Guangxu once again pro-government and the possibility of denying Cixi's layout during her lifetime.

As for Tongzhi's death, although various accounts have been put forward in some private writings and notes, none of them has anything to do with Cixi.

is disobedient, wants to control the government and be the second Wu Zetian. Pity. Not capable.

First of all, Prince Gong thought that Cixi was a woman and was not worthy of threatening his throne, so he would not eradicate it too much.

There is a saying that there is a rather ambiguous relationship between Prince Gong and Cixi, so Prince Gong will not do this.

He was in power, but he died of illness not long after he was in power.

Because Cixi didn't have this will, she was too tired to be the emperor herself, and she was still comfortable to manipulate behind the scenes.

Although the Empress Dowager Cixi is the mother of the Tongzhi Emperor, the power of the Empress Dowager Cixi is not very large, the imperial power is supreme, only the emperor is the supreme leader of this dynasty, and the Eight Banners are loyal to the emperor, which is destined to the Empress Dowager Cixi cannot be the emperor in name.

Because Cixi was afraid that becoming emperor would cause disputes among the great powers, and at the same time, she was also afraid of arousing the opposition of the imperial court.

The Empress Dowager Cixi holds the power of the court, and she has been exposed to it in the palace since she was a child, and the struggle for power is commonplace for her, and various ways are used to achieve the goal.
