Speaking of Cixi, it can be said that many people have itchy teeth. After all, it was this woman who made our country lose a lot of territory and treasures, but even so, this woman still lived a very luxurious life. Cixi often holds a jade pestle when she sleeps. It is said that this jade pestle is a treasure of Buddhism. At first, this object was used as a weapon. As long as you are touched by this weapon, the wound can't be stitched up. Later, it was used as a vessel by Buddhism, and three different images were added to the handle. Because this weapon is specially used to exorcise demons, it is named Emerald Demon-reducing pestle.
Cixi's murder in her later years was almost always based on her own mood, so ministers were also worried. When Zhang Zhidong heard that someone was going to impeach himself, he spent a lot of money to buy this jade pestle for Cixi. Cixi likes to be called the Empress Dowager Lafayette, so she also likes Buddhism, so she forgot to impeach for the time being and praised Zhang Zhidong.
It is precisely because Cixi killed too many people that she couldn't sleep well for a long time and was always afraid of suicide. The role of the jade pestle is to subdue evil spirits, and since Cixi took it to sleep every day, the quality of sleep has been obviously improved, so Cixi thinks that the role of the jade pestle is still great.
When Cixi died, she also asked the servant to put this jade pestle in her funerary objects. Unfortunately, all the treasures in it were taken away by the warlord Sun Dianying, and then the jade pestle disappeared.
