"Yes, I have gone. Those lowly commoners dared to rob my treasures and even damage my body! They are utterly hateful, a bunch of lowly slaves!"
Sherry: You deserve it. Who told you to hide so many treasures even after you die, like a miser?
Having seized power, he discovered he couldn't defeat the foreigners, and in the end, all he cared about was the posthumous honors he would receive.
She worried that Emperor Guangxu might downgrade her mausoleum after her death, so she frequently made personal visits to the well and poured rare treasures into it in an attempt to calm her inner unease.
Historically, in the late autumn of the 34th year of the Guangxu Emperor's reign (1908), when the life candle of the Guangxu Emperor, who had only nine days left to live, was about to be extinguished, Empress Dowager Cixi once again ordered her confidants to carry out this ceremony. This time, she dispatched the highly respected Prince Qing, Yikuang, to perform it.
In the days that followed, she ordered the Minister of the Interior to bring numerous Buddha statues and prayer beads to join the guards of the Golden Well.
We'd be doing her a disservice if we didn't dig up her grave!
Sherry, mindful that this was her mission target, stubbornly kept quiet.
She was so embarrassed that her face turned red.
To be fair, among all those people underground, she was indeed quite pitiful.
It is important to know that in ancient times, the burial site was sealed to preserve the body.
The luminous pearl in Empress Dowager Cixi's mouth was a rare sight in the world; similarly, the anal plug...
If she had turned into bones, she probably wouldn't be so angry.
Ironically, the body was preserved quite well at the time...
Despite her expressionless face, Sherry's thoughts were like a wild horse running free.
If I wasn't afraid of breaking her defenses, she would definitely be slapping her thigh and laughing out loud!
"Furthermore, why, why should I bear the infamy for all eternity?! The Aisin Gioro family's empire, let alone under my rule, was already on the decline even under the late emperor! Why should I bear all the infamy?! If I hadn't exhausted all my efforts, the Qing Dynasty would have perished long ago!"
The old woman probably hadn't seen any outsiders in a long time, and now she was filled with endless resentment.
That makes sense!
During the Qianlong reign, the Qing Dynasty began its decline.
While others were experiencing the Industrial Revolution, this place was enjoying peace and prosperity.
While others were waging the Opium War, this side was fighting for power and profit.
If any barbarian they considered could come and take advantage of the Qing Dynasty, wouldn't that make them the target of the Allied Forces' partitioning?
Whose fault is it?!
Every emperor, upon ascending the throne, wants to accomplish something great.
The results showed that they had inherited their parents' aspirations.
Having ambition without the means to achieve it.
This dynasty has been plagued by deep-seated problems for a long time, and it's just waiting for a reshuffle!
Little did they expect that the wolves and tigers they attracted would almost turn this paradise into a desert.
In fact, a long time ago, Emperor Kangxi bluntly stated that foreigners would be a major threat to the Qing Dynasty in the future.
However, compared to things that hadn't yet happened in the future, for him at that time, suppressing the Han people was more practical.
Later emperors perfectly remembered their ideas.
The rebellion was due to the Han people's lingering treacherous intentions, not to any problem with their rule.
Emperor Qianlong was by nature extravagant, and during his reign, he made six southern tours, spending countless sums of money.
In the later period, he appointed He Shen, whose corruption was unprecedented in history.
Officials were forced to exploit the people to pay their dues. Superiors demanded from their subordinates, and subordinates abused the people. As a result, the administration became even more chaotic, and rebellions broke out everywhere.
Does the emperor know?
They know this, but they won't seek to change it.
The sins committed over several lifetimes ultimately led to Empress Dowager Cixi bearing the brunt of the infamy.
Of course, she's not innocent either!
Things were alright in the beginning; he worked diligently for his son.
After losing her son, she began to cling tightly to power.
The Qing Dynasty's rule was absolute centralized power.
They would not share power with ministers or even empresses.
The ministers were conservative in their thinking, let alone that woman confined to her chambers!
"A dying man's words are often wise. On my deathbed, I warned the world: women should not meddle in state affairs, which violated the traditional laws of the Qing Dynasty. I even admitted my failure, yet I still incurred immense infamy! Are later generations so foolish—ahhhhh!"
The old woman's hysterical outbursts.
Sherry rushed out and pinned her down, giving her a good beating.
Cold, vertical pupils; a sharp snake tail; four devastating claws; and a beautiful face that seems to be smiling but isn't!
They are both souls!
Sherry grabbed the old woman and beat her mercilessly.
"I've put up with you for ages, and you're really taking advantage of me, aren't you?!"
"You, you're not an immortal, immortals wouldn't..."
"Even the Empress Dowager of a nation can betray her country for personal gain, and you still have the nerve to complain?!" Sherry grabbed her foot and swung her around like a whirlwind.
"You can say that the Qing Dynasty's fate was sealed, but you asked for trouble and you still have the nerve to complain? Honestly, I wish you were alive. If you were alive, you would have to endure thousands upon thousands of cuts!"
The old woman was crying and wailing, "Oh dear, oh dear!"
Sherry, with a cold face, started throwing and smashing things!
Ironically, on her deathbed, Empress Dowager Cixi left behind not only those so-called "last wills," but also that absurd and ironic warning.
In other words, women should not be involved in state affairs, which violated the traditional laws of the Qing Dynasty.
He emphasized the need for strict constraints and specifically mentioned the dangers of eunuch power, as if he had forgotten that he himself was the culprit who tacitly allowed the expansion of eunuch power.
It was both an irony of her own rule and a ruthless denial of women's status; her words and actions formed a living joke.
Even at the end of her life, in the last of her time, she did not forget to prepare a luxurious mausoleum for herself, attempting to engrave the traces of power in eternity by inlaying jewels. Such selfishness and shortsightedness deserve to be nailed to the pillar of shame.
She still has the nerve to complain!
The downfall of a dynasty is not due to a single woman, but to the inaction of several generations.
But the side effects you experienced inside were so numerous that I could talk about them for ten days and ten nights. If I don't curse you, who else should I curse?
They made a fuss, packed their bags, and ran off, then went and started talking about women in power and all that?!
If you can't see Wu Zetian, you can't see Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang either?
Sherry couldn't help but kick her again.
The old lady looked like a beggar, haggard and full of bitterness and resentment.
With a resentful look on her face, she shouted at Shirley, "I am the Empress Dowager! How dare you? I want to replace you, I will report you!"
"Fine, you can switch! I'll just have to skin Consort Lan alive myself!" Xue Li smiled sinisterly.
She was still upset!
She can't fight, but if she were in a different body, her dedication would definitely double.
As Sherry was about to leave, she suddenly remembered something.
Then he directly bound the old woman's soul.
Perhaps it was a curse of the Yehe Nara clan, or perhaps the Qing Dynasty's fate had run its course.
It doesn't matter what she's here for.
Sherry simply doesn't like her.
When Sherry woke up, she found that the cat had left a message on the internet.
He showed up when she didn't reply.
"Huh? Why are there still complaints?"
"Oh, I beat her up!"
"Why?!"
"Because I am kind!"
"Cough, cough... Alright then!"
"Isn't this mission going to be stopped?" Sherry asked expectantly. Who wants to patch up this mess?
