    Later, Emperor Tongzhi died because of smallpox, and the young Guangxu inherited the throne, which gave Cixi the opportunity to listen to the government, and at this time, Cixi had been in control of power for many years, and the top and bottom of the court were her own people, and no one could shake her position。Although Guangxu tried to regain power by changing the law in the later period, he quickly failed due to his young and inexperienced experience.

    Empress Dowager Cixi was a sinner.

    Whether the Empress Dowager Cixi was a sinner or a great man: a sinner. The late Qing Dynasty went from prosperity to decline to the end of history, which had an inseparable relationship with the Empress Dowager Cixi.

    She did do a lot of ridiculous things to be reviled by future generations, but it was by no means useless, and when Cixi was in power, the Qing Dynasty signed a series of unequal treaties, which made Cixi completely nailed to the pillar of shame.

    But the fall of the Qing Dynasty was not only the fault of Cixi alone, in addition to the seclusion of the country, there were many historical reasons, objectively speaking, Cixi was not so unbearable.

    Features of Cixi:

    Cixi's life is indeed particularly prominent and eye-catching. It was precisely because Qianlong planted the seeds of this evil that the British ambassador Magalny came to the Qing Dynasty and saw the corrupt appearance of the Qing Dynasty, so he went back to tell himself the truth about the Qing Dynasty. So the British began to fight hard, and by 40 years after Qianlong's death, they launched an attack on the Qing Dynasty.

    If you say that the number one sinner in history, it should be Qianlong. It's just that under the influence of film and television works, we all think that he is a saint, but in fact, he was whitewashed by the TV series, and he is just a loser. is the so-called: Kangxi fought the country, Yongzheng ruled the country, and Qianlong defeated the country.
