First, you will be born.
This is no joke. Empress Dowager Cixi's husband is Emperor Xianfeng. This man worked hard in the early days, but the reality soon defeated the young emperor, so he began to indulge himself and overdraw his body, and died at the age of 3 1. There are many women in Xianfeng, and there is only one dragon species left for so many years? Zai Chun, the later Emperor Tongzhi.
And this child has become the first condition for Empress Dowager Cixi to take power in the future, because she is the emperor's biological mother, which is more important than anything else.
Second, longevity.
Cixi lived to be 73 years old, which was the second condition for her to master the Great Qing National Games. In the case of low average life expectancy in ancient times, this is definitely longevity. Empress dowager cixi can be said to be perfect in health care. She attaches great importance to exotic medicine and techniques, such as qigong, acupuncture, massage, guidance, eating and rare photography.
She survived Tongzhi and Emperor Guangxu, and her political opponents were all dead? Even Li Hongzhang has never lived with her, which shows her strong vitality. If there is not enough life support, any force is a cloud. We can refer to Lv Hou in the Western Han Dynasty. Lv Hou was an excellent politician, but his life was too short, which led to the collapse of the Lu family.
Third, political sensitivity.
Although Empress Dowager Cixi is not an outstanding politician, she definitely has a keen sense of political smell. But after Xianfeng's political will appeared before his death, she knew her chance had come. Xianfeng's purpose is nothing more than to achieve a political balance, so that eight ministers can draw up a will and the empress dowager will seal it and agree. Cixi thinks that Empress Dowager Cixi can also draw up imperial edicts. Why should these eight ministers be restrained?
So she contacted Prince Gong to launch a coup, which shows her natural political sensitivity.
Also, in order to maintain her own rule, whether it was Tongzhi or Guangxu's marriage, she arranged it all by herself, ensuring that power was always in her own hands. Even on her deathbed, she arranged the situation that the Queen Mother Yulong and Regent Zai Feng * * * assisted the axe.
Fourth, the art of imperial power
The only thing worthy of praise for Empress Dowager Cixi is her supreme bending. From the game? Rong Lu, Zeng Guofan, Li Hongzhang and other heroes were clearly arranged by her.
Have a coup in mind? After that, Cixi immediately set out to attack Prince Gong. Power, not fun? Any chance to fight back; Zeng Guofan and Li Hongzhang, who have made great contributions to the government, are also carrots and sticks. On the one hand, they pay rich salaries to senior officials to win their hearts, on the other hand, they constantly beat them to prevent them from being arrogant. And Cixi never chose? Dead rabbits cook dogs? That one, because she knows that her talent can't manage this huge empire.
Look at Cixi now. She listened to politics three times, ruled the Crown Prince twice, acted arbitrarily and held the Great Qing Dynasty in her hand. She does have something extraordinary, but she has deteriorated the future of modern China many times, and should bear the historical responsibility for the history of China.
