Facts have proved that no matter how smooth she is in politics, she is still a human being, not a machine. As long as she is a human being, she must have human weaknesses!
Love, hate, joy, anger, sorrow and joy! They all have the same emotions that mortals should have, but these real emotions are suppressed for the sake of power!
For the sake of power, they can give up family affection, love, friendship... and abandon all secular values and moral values, but this kind of suppression will always leak. After all, people are emotional!
In the final analysis, Cixi was just a little widow, not an old widow. She was not over forty even during the year when Emperor Tongzhi came to power, but her years of high status made people forget her age!
To say that she is suffering, it is really suffering. China's ethics and morals are different from those in the West. The Queen of Spain could drug Xiang Ying and force her to force a Spanish fly, just for the sake of having fun!
The Queen of England also has her own lover! But not in China. No matter how high your position is, you must occupy a moral high ground!
Anyway, the relationship between men and women cannot be messy. It doesn't matter if it is messy in private. As long as it is exposed, it will be a big sin!
From a certain perspective, this kind of moral restraint is indeed anti-human, but there is nothing we can do about it, this is the national condition!
Cixi was very pitiful. She gained the favor of Emperor Xianfeng because of her conspiracy and calculations in the palace, and finally gave birth to a child named Zaichun, Emperor Tongzhi!
But she didn't enjoy much love, because Xianfeng was so virtuous that he had to rely on deer blood every day to stay energetic!
History books say that he died of exhaustion from working on state affairs. In fact, it was a disease of running out of oil and drying up the lamp. He had been squeezed out into sugarcane bagasse. If he encounters the stimulation of war, he will die after a short period of time!
How much love can Cixi get? How pitiful!
After becoming a widow, both the East and West palaces lived in the Forbidden City, so she had to restrain herself a little. The secret affair with Guiziliu was more of a manifestation of a political alliance!
There won’t be many times, and it can’t meet the requirements of a thirty-year-old tiger and wolf at all!
After all, after all these years, it’s just that my fingers are getting tired and I’m just a little addicted!
Until she met Isiha, the domineering scene completely ignited the middle-aged woman's fire. At this time, Cixi was actually the old linoleum that had been drying on the roof for many years!
Once this thing catches fire, you can't put it out!
How many years has the yellow land been in drought? It's so easy to foresee a deep well, so it's not a waste of money!
As long as a woman of this age is in love, don't reason with her. She's addicted and can't pull it out. It's addictive!
But Cixi is Cixi. After briefly losing her mind, this strong political woman quickly regained her composure with just a gust of cold wind!
"What's wrong with me? What on earth am I doing? How could I make such a childish mistake? Damn it, damn it, damn it..."
After Cixi returned to the palace, she complained that she was sick for several days and said that she had occasionally caught a cold. She was also ashamed and wanted to see what was going on with her son!
What can Zaichun do? How could such a family scandal be publicized? He strictly ordered Da Sixi's Jingshifang to keep his orders secret to the palace officials, and absolutely did not allow anyone to leak the news of the conflict!
During the Chinese New Year, officials from other dynasties would not make themselves uncomfortable, and Shishan Shishui also calmed down without saying a single unnecessary word!
It's really miraculous that in the environment of the Eight Banners in the late Qing Dynasty where it was so easy to leak information, this incident was actually suppressed!
The mother-in-law doesn’t mention it, the son-in-law doesn’t mention it, the inner court doesn’t talk much, and the outer court doesn’t talk much! In the next year, I lived a relatively solid life!
The only thing that is a bit puzzling is that during the whole month of watching a play in the palace, the emperor's relatives and first- and second-rank officials are all here. Zai Chun asks the fifth master Yi Pei to click on it!
Isn’t it necessary to celebrate the New Year! The play "An Tian Hui" written by Yi Pei is not very familiar to people in the world, but if it were renamed, it would be known to everyone and everyone would be aware of it!
"An Tianhui" is the "Havoc in Heaven" of later generations!
Yi Pei knew that Cixi liked this show, and the Antian Party during the holiday was also lively! The jubilant Wuzhishan suppressed Sun Houhou, which also represented the boundless power of the court to suppress Xiaoxiao!
What a good luck, but halfway through the performance, Cixi started to act up. She said in a weird way that Prince Dun was deliberately angry with her. He knew that she was weak and heartbroken, but he still used such a noisy scene to stimulate her. The sarcasm made the fifth master Yipei feel real. I can’t get off the stage!
If the drama was not allowed to be performed, it would be replaced by a quieter one. In the end, it was replaced twice. This Cixi also said that Yi Pei was deliberately depressed during the festival and did not gain any luck!
This made Yi Pei helpless, and in the end he had no choice but to go home and rest with a frown on his face, feeling unhappy!
Zaichun, Fu Qing and others knew the details, and of course they understood that Cixi was using the opera as a raft to deliberately make the Fifth Master unhappy, because it was the Fifth Master who reported Yi Siha's crime of accepting bribes!
And Zai Chun’s excuse for dealing with Yi Siha was that Huang Yu finger-trigger! Everyone lamented in their hearts, saying to themselves, Fifth Master, just bear the thunder for the emperor. If you don't stand up, who will?
Yi Pei couldn't afford to offend and could only hide. As soon as the first month passed, he started a new mission to help the emperor reorganize the Xishan Camp!
The original establishment must be dismantled and dismantled again, officials must be rotated back and forth, the new Yulin New Army must be incorporated, and the Xishan Battalion, which poses a great threat, must also be transferred into the ranks of the New Yulin Army!
This was a very difficult task, so Yi Pei simply lived and ate in Xishan!
Time passes day by day, and there are many and complicated things in the capital. The Westernization Reform and the war in the Western Regions are affecting people's hearts. There are also some conflicts between the Chinese concessions and the local people, and they must be calmed down carefully!
Ci Xi's romantic sin was gradually forgotten!
The warm breeze blows in April, the earth begins to turn green, and the animals that have been here all winter begin to move around. The deep mountains and old forests of Longquan Valley in Xiling are gradually coming to life!
On a ridge on the west side of Muling, a man wearing a blue cotton coat was looking down at the locust trees in the valley with his hands behind his back along the ridge!
"Smell... it smells really good... much better than the ones in Sijiu City. Everything smells bad..."
"Hey...Isiha...are you going hunting again this early in the morning? Don't hunt in spring. It's the time when female animals give birth to their babies. It's harmful to the harmony of the world!"
Down in the valley, there was a man carrying a bow and arrow without raising it. When he heard someone calling his name, "Bah..." he even spat!
Of course, the one on the ridge is Prince Gong. In the past few months, Guiziliu has not had the slightest aura of a prince. He is wearing a half-worn blue coat. In Yi County City, he is just a thin teacher!
