Cixi s younger brother Guixiang, why did he live in poverty all his life?

is in power, why don't you help your mother's brother.

It should be too incompetent, otherwise it would be impossible for Cixi to promote outsiders and not his own family members if she has such a great desire for power.

Because Cixi was more selfish at that time, she put her own interests first in everything, never considered the people around her, and just became rich in food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Because although this person is the younger brother of the Empress Dowager Cixi, he is too incompatible with Cixi, and the two of them have not been very right to take Tuan Li, so the relationship between the two is not good, and they are unwilling to give him or celebrate the opportunity.

Because the two of them have different ideas, and Cixi doesn't want her younger brother to enter politics and wants him to do other things.

No, Cixi is still very accurate in seeing people in person, and he knows that his younger brother is not the material to be an official.

It's not that the Empress Dowager Cixi doesn't want to reuse her own brother, butHer second brother is really the kind of person who can't support the wall in the mud, the Empress Dowager Cixi also gave him many opportunities to prove himself during her reign, butHer second brother only knew how to be greedy for pleasure, in the end, Cixi can only begave up her second brother

In previous dynasties, any ruler in order to consolidate his dominance,He must appoint some of his relatives to assist him in governingThe purpose of this is to better control the entire court, and Cixi certainly can't avoid such a system of appointments.

After the Empress Dowager Cixi took power, she also continued to cultivate a lot of her own people, and her own relatives also successfully entered the court with their own help, facing Emperor Guangxu, Cixi directly forcibly gave Guixiang's daughter to him, and Emperor Guangxu also had to set up Guixiang's daughter as the queen under the persecution of CixiAt this time, Gui Xiang's sister was not only the supreme ruler of the dynasty, the Empress Dowager Cixi, but also the father-in-law of Emperor Guangxu.

ButHigh status does not mean great influenceIn order to make her younger brother have a higher influence in the court, Cixi appointed Gui Xiang many times, and even in the Sino-Japanese First Sino-Japanese War, Gui Xiang was sent by Cixi to participate, but it backfiredThe defeat of the war and Gui Xiang's many bad ideas in the war made the soldiers who returned from defeat very unkind to Gui Xiang.

Since then, the Empress Dowager Cixi has been powerless in the face of this younger brotherNot only did he fail to increase his influence, but it was difficult to even maintain his current influenceIn the end, the Empress Dowager Cixi could only helplessly let this incompetent younger brotherExit the court

Because her second brother only knew how to be greedy for pleasure, in the end Cixi could only give up her second brother.

Because his brother is the kind of person who only covets enjoyment, although Cixi wants to, but his brother himself does not want to.

Because her younger brother has no talent, he can't do things, he just enjoys.

Because Gui Xiang really can't afford Adou, he is greedy for good wine and is happy to enjoy. There's no way to reuse it.
