    Abolishing the emperor is a matter that needs to move the country, not that it can be dealt with very easily.

    At that time, the Qing Dynasty was suffering from internal and external troubles, and Cixi had no time to do this. All she could do was send eunuchs to monitor Guangxu, or put Emperor Guangxu under house arrest.

    Cixi herself was already very dissatisfied with Emperor Guangxu. But at that time, the Eight-Nation Alliance had already reached the city of Beijing, and Cixi was so frightened that he fled to Xi'an with Emperor Guangxu.

    In this process of fleeing, who would dare to mention the matter of abolishing the emperor. Even if Cixi wants to change herself, it is estimated that in that difficult time, she will win the hearts of the people from all over the world, and she will not be stupid enough to change the emperor and cause chaos.

    Emperor Guangxu also had no heirs, and there were very few reliable princes in the imperial family. The Tongzhi Emperor of that year also let Guangxu ascend the throne because he had no heirs. This caused chaos in the court for a while.

    At this time, the Qing Dynasty was in a period of scarcity. The dwarf is a general, and it is already good to be able to find the dwarf.

    Before Cixi died, Guangxu was also killed by her, and there was really no way, so he deliberately let Pu Yi inherit the unification.

    Because of the strong opposition of foreign forces, Cixi did not have the idea of abolishing Guangxu, but she did not have time to implement it. Pu Jun, the son of King Duanjun, was made the eldest brother back then, in preparation for succeeding Guangxu.

    Guangxu was single-handedly raised by Cixi, no matter whether it is good or bad, whether it is good or not, it cannot be abolished in his lifetime.

    It has been proposed to abolish Guangxu, and the successors have been found. However, at that time, all parties in the court did not agree, and they all felt that the country was eventful, and the abolition of the emperor would cause national turmoil. And at that time the Western powers were also strongly opposed.

    Cixi's internal pressure is high, and at the same time, she is also very afraid of foreign devils. It was also because of this incident that she hated the interference of foreigners, so she supported the Boxer Rebellion incident later.

    Women can't be in charge. The Qing Dynasty was defeated at the hands of Cixi. Because women know pleasure, greed for life and fear of death, no national feelings, look at the fact that gold worshippers abound in today's society, the ancients said that women are difficult to raise, and it is enough to say that it is thorough.

    1, Emperor Guangxu is the descendant of Aixin Jueluo, is the royal bloodline, although Cixi's power is very great, but the abolition of the emperor must also obtain the consent of the Manchu magnates, although the Manchu magnates at that time agreed to Cixi's dominance, but did not agree to abolish the Guangxu Emperor, the abolition of the Guangxu Emperor means the shame of the Manchu nobles, because there is no emperor in the history of the Qing Dynasty who was deposed.

    2, although Emperor Guangxu has some contradictions with Cixi, and Cixi is also ruthless, but Emperor Guangxu grew up with him after all, and Guangxu still refers to his own nephew. So in terms of feelings, the vertical match Cixi is still a little difficult to do.

    3. There was a great deal of Guangxu with the attitude of the great powers at that time, at that time, after the failure of the reform, Cixi also wanted to abolish the Guangxu Emperor, but was opposed by the great powers, because although the great powers were greedy, they also knew very well that if the Guangxu Emperor was abolished, there would inevitably be a chaotic situation in various parts of the Qing Dynasty, and it would inevitably affect the interests of various countries in the Qing Dynasty. And Cixi, a woman, is most afraid of foreigners in her life, so when she heard the opposition of foreigners, she didn't dare to abolish Emperor Guangxu easily. These foreigners were later known as the Eight-Nation Alliance.

    In fact, if Cixi abolished Emperor Guangxu or not, the Qing Dynasty could no longer change its fate, and the Qing Dynasty, which lost its power and humiliated the country, would definitely fall under the vehicle of history.

    First of all, it is unfilial piety, many people don't know that Guangxu was actually raised by Cixi, so Guangxu and Cixi existed before the mother and son, and the Qing Dynasty has always advocated filial piety to rule the world, if Guangxu gets rid of Cixi, the direct consequence is great unfilial piety, Let's ask an unfilial person even if he becomes the emperor, how can he make the world recognize and convince him, and at that time, the Qing Dynasty was in a situation of external and internal troubles, and Cixi collapsed, I am afraid that the Qing Dynasty will soon perish.

    Secondly, in the process of teaching Guangxu to grow up, the Empress Dowager Cixi often instilled self-interest in himWhen teaching Guangxu, Cixi always likes to say: "Idiot, there is no self today, and you will be safe tomorrow?" "It means that if I didn't raise you and support you, there would be no you today, you can remember not to be a white-eyed wolf in the future, just under such a subtle teaching, Guangxu was deeply affected.

    Third, when Cixi learned that Kang Youwei and his gang belonged to the reform party, when the revolution was big, a group of people with lofty ideals came to besiege Xiheyuan with weapons and wanted to execute the Empress Dowager Cixi. At this time, Cixi, who was hiding in the Summer Palace, taught Guangxu a serious lesson, and the content was probably that if you look outside, they are all people who want to kill the palace, if I die today, it will be your turn tomorrow, stupid son. Therefore, when some revolutionaries wanted to win over Guangxu to implement a certain plan together, Guangxu refused at the first time.

    Unable to change, Emperor Guangxu advocated following the example of the European and Japanese Restoration, establishing a constitutional monarchy, although the Hundred Days Restoration failed, and in 1900, the Eight-Nation Coalition invaded Beijing. In 1901, after the signing of the "Xinchou Treaty" that humiliated the country, the Empress Dowager Cixi intended to follow the reform of Europe and Japan in order to save the decline of the Qing Dynasty. The "New Deal" was introduced, and a series of reforms were carried out, including the establishment of a new army and the abolition of the imperial examination.

    In 1908, the Outline of the King James Constitution was promulgated to establish a constitutional monarchy and a representative parliament was established. It basically continued the practice of Emperor Guangxu, but in the end the Qing Dynasty still fell, it can be said that Emperor Guangxu could not change the trend of the Qing Dynasty's demise, which is a historical necessity.

    No, it can be seen from the decree he promulgated that the feudal remnants of the reform and reform are serious, the feudal forces will not collapse because of Cixi, the imperialists will not stop their aggression because of this, and the change of the system will not completely liberate the minds of the people.

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. <> >>>More

There is a common misconception about "Galeries Lafayette" that "Galeries Lafayette" is the "Queen Mother", which is due to "Huanzhu Gege", but this is wrong. You must know that in addition to the "temple number", "nickname" and "honorific title" of the emperors in the history of our country, some emperors also have "special titles". For example, the "special name" of the emperor of the Song Dynasty is called "Guanjia", the "special name" of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is called "Master", and the "special name" of the Qing Dynasty emperor is called "Lafayette", which means that all emperors of the Qing Dynasty can be called "Lafayette". >>>More
