The Empress Dowager Cixi did these 5 things before she died: The first thing, even the movies, don't dare to do it again!

Of these 5 stories, 1 story comes from a temporary hatred, the remaining 4 stories are in the will of this empress dowager. What is that?

In the summer of 1908, Empress Dowager Cixi's health deteriorated further and further. One day, "Lao Phat Gia" suddenly felt severe abdominal pain, diarrhea that didn't stop, and had bowel movements ten times a day. The next day, even came out pus and blood.

The imperial doctors tried their best to treat Cixi, but the empress dowager's condition not only showed no signs of getting better, but also got worse. Knowing that she was about to die, Empress Dowager Cixi still decided to personally handle the government affairs, holding power until the last moment. In the 2 days before her death, Empress Dowager Cixi did a total of 5 things:

It was Cixi who held the real power at the end of the Qing Dynasty.

1. "Pull" King Quang Tu with "go"

According to many unverified rumors, Empress Dowager Cixi was the one behind the death of King Quang Tu. Accordingly, the reason why Tu Hi did this was because he heard that King Quang Tu was very happy that she was seriously ill.

In fact, at that time, King Quang Tu was being held in Yingtai, his health was not good, but much better than that of Cixi. When he heard about Cixi's condition worsening, the puppet emperor could not hide his joy. But with an emperor who has no real power and is under house arrest like Quang Tu, his mood swings cannot be seen through the eyes and ears of Lao Phat Gia.

Before Cixi personally ordered, the subordinates of this empress dowager understood the master's intentions and took action against Guangxu. Very quickly, a few days later, King Quang Tu's health, which was flourishing, turned worse. On November 14, 1908, he died.

According to many opinions, Tu Hi is the person behind the death of King Quang Tu.

Later, archaeologists also discovered that the cause of death of King Quang Tu was far different from that recorded in history. After examining the clothes and hair of this king, they came to the conclusion: arsenic poisoning. As for the person behind the king's death, many people think that it is the Empress Dowager Cixi. And the rumor that Tu Hi wanted to 'pull' Quang Tu to die is one of the most talked about opinions about the death of this white king.

2. Making Puyi as successor

After King Guangxu passed away, Cixi felt that she was also going to die. Therefore, he summoned 7 great gods of the court to come and write a testament. Cixi's testament consists of four articles.

The first thing is to let King Quang Tu's grandson - Ai Tan Giac La Pho Nghi enter the palace to inherit the throne. In fact, this matter was decided by Cixi early, but it was not officially announced until before her death. King Quang Tu had no children, so Tu Hi chose the youngest member of the royal family to inherit the Qing dynasty.

Pu Yi was established as his successor by Cixi when he was only 2 years old.

3. Assigning regent duties to Father Pu Nghi

This is also the second thing in Cixi's testament. Because Pu Nghi was still young and was not able to handle major national affairs, Tu Hi entrusted this task to the father of the little emperor - Ai Tan Giac La Sai Phong. Sai Phong is not only a member of the royal family but also has strength and character, so this decision of Tu Hi is considered quite wise.

4. Instructing granddaughter Long Du

Tu Hi is indeed an autocratic woman, passionate about power, until the last moment of her life, she was determined to keep the real power for the family. Although he gave the regent power to Sai Phong, Tu Hi still did not forget to instruct his granddaughter Long Du to keep an eye on Sai Phong.

According to Lao Phat Gia's will, when his biological father, Pho Nghi, had to deal with any major problems on behalf of his son, he had to negotiate with Long Du, and only when Long Du agreed to do so, it could be implemented.

5. Take care of yourself in advance

After everything was arranged, Cixi began to worry about the funeral of herself and King Guangxu. According to the regulations, after death, Cixi's body would be placed at Tuning Palace, but Cixi didn't want that, so she told this wish of herself to the great ministers in the court.

Cixi soon took care of the aftermath for herself and King Quang Tu.

After that, Cixi's wish came true. The unified Qing court will move the empress dowager's coffin from Tu Ninh Palace to Hoang Chi Temple.

After her wish was granted, Empress Dowager Cixi's eyes were so tired that she couldn't open them anymore. At this time, the palace maids, eunuchs and mandarins also began to kneel on the ground, weeping and mourning. The old Phat Gia tried to open his eyes from everyone one last time and left the world not long after.
