After being summoned by Cixi, the newly-crowned champion Lang Wengzengyuan was scared to resign and return to his hometown.

Cixi is very concerned about her appearance and skin. She often takes some medicines developed by doctor too much. She also has a secret room where she secretly studies and maintains medicines such as skin. This chamber of secrets is located in Wuyingdian, which was originally used by the emperor's office. Similar to the current meeting, Li Zicheng took Wuyingdian as his office after entering the palace, and even chose it here when he ascended the throne. Besides him, Dourgen also regarded it as his office during his intervention.

after the death of empress dowager cixi, the empress of Guangxu found a secret room in her bedroom when she was packing up her relics!

when they entered this secret room, they were all shocked! Can you imagine how shocking the scene that can shock people at the top of power?

This secret room is in a separate room. No one can enter this room except the personal eunuch before Cixi's death! Not to mention knowing the secrets in this room! There are all kinds of treasures hidden in this secret room! Gold and silver are the least valuable! All kinds of antique calligraphy and paintings, all kinds of treasures, are the personal accumulation of Cixi before her death, and of course they are her favorite. Under normal circumstances, no one is allowed to touch them!

All these possessions in front of us are amazing. The Great Qing Dynasty was carved up by the great powers, forced to cede land and pay reparations, and the national treasury was empty. The foreign war was completely defeated and the people at home were in dire straits. Although history does not allow assumptions, we still think that if Cixi put her ability to collect money on enriching the state treasury, and if she could spare even a little money to enrich her armaments, maybe the Qing Dynasty would not be defeated so thoroughly!

During Cixi's party and government administration, the status of Wuying Hall plummeted, and it became a desolate place like a cold palace when he joined the army. Although not many people adorned Wuying Hall, there were always many ladies-in-waiting. It turned out that Cixi ordered people to secretly develop her "secret weapon" fragrance here.

Empress Dowager Cixi is very afraid that others will find out her secret. After all, perfume is used for beauty. If other concubines or ministers know that she is a leader who secretly makes this kind of thing every day, all her prestige will be lost. Therefore, when a little eunuch or maid-in-waiting broke in by mistake, Empress Dowager Cixi showed no mercy to them and directly ordered the execution.

Then why did Empress Dowager Cixi develop a perfume body lotion near Wuying Hall? Of course, it was because it was remote and difficult to find. Cixi's secret weapon is not only perfume, but also "Spider Treasure" is one of the secret weapons of Empress Dowager Cixi.

When Cixi was old, although her skin was well maintained, her health was not as good as before, and her arms often ached and her back ached. After seeing Empress Dowager Cixi's listless appearance, the British Minister's wife took out a porcelain bottle filled with western medicine and gave it to Cixi, and told her to take it. However, Cixi felt sick when she saw that the tablet was so dark. You know, people who are used to Chinese medicine are very resistant to western medicine.

However, due to the face of the British Minister's wife and hoping that these western medicines would really help her, I took a few pills, only to find that this medicine has a good effect and immediate effect.

In order to develop drugs that are more beneficial to her health, Empress Dowager Cixi imported some foreign medicinal materials and ordered Doctor Tai to develop new drugs near Wuying Hall. This is what we call "Spider Treasure".

This kind of spider is not a common spider, but a giant tarantula, which is produced in Africa. Grinding tarantula into powder can be used as medicine, which has a good effect on indigestion.

These medicines were hidden after they were developed, and then taken out for Cixi's exclusive use when needed, which played a great role in Cixi's appearance and health.

Even the doctors who make drugs dare not use them secretly, because they are making drugs with their lives, and they don't want to be successful, but only want to avoid big mistakes in pharmacy.

After the death of Emperor Guangxu and Empress Dowager Cixi, Cixi's secret weapons were taken out, and all these things were eventually burned by fire. I really don't know how distressed Cixi would be if she were still alive.

for a young woman, the life of widowhood must be boring. Although Cixi began to fight for power and profit after the death of Emperor Xianfeng, she has been playing a conspiracy on weekdays, but it is always difficult to spend her leisure time.

We haven't seen Cixi raise Toy Boy like Wu Zetian in the official history, which shows that her private life is decent. There have been many chaotic records of Cixi's private life in unofficial history.

For example, it was said that Cixi had an affair with eunuch An Dehai, and she was pregnant at the age of 48. In order to save face, she finally had to abort it secretly. Some unofficial history said that eunuch Li Lianying once brought a handsome man named Shi to the palace for Cixi. Later, Cixi was pregnant with his child, and after being born, she was afraid of others gossiping, so she gave the child to Prince Chun for raising. Because Guangxu is her own son, otherwise why would Cixi want her nephew to be emperor?

Cixi began to look for a good way to get rid of loneliness very early, and finally she chose painting. Perhaps only when she splashed ink can her heart calm down and her melancholy be suppressed in her heart. Needless to say, Cixi's painting level is really not low, and many of them have become gifts for her ministers. If anyone has a painting of her now, it must be priceless. In fact, Cixi's painting skills are superb, all of which were practiced by herself during her fall from grace. Her favorite flowers are orchids and chrysanthemums. As a result, Cixi's painting skills were superb, which she did not expect. She likes painting since she was a child, and she paints well. Shortly after entering the palace, she kept drawing because she had nothing to do. Especially drawing orchids is excellent.

besides painting, cixi also likes watching plays. Some experts joked that much of her knowledge and morality came from watching the play. The lively drama stage gave her a moment of joy and happiness.

Whether pretending or not, it is recorded that Cixi is mostly painting when she is bored at night. After a busy day, this is also a way to relax. In history, people like Cixi, even women, can live any kind of life as long as they have power, which is no different from men.

When Emperor Xianfeng died, Cixi was only 26 years old, and she was still in her prime. From the extravagant life of Cixi in her later years, we can see that she is a person who never mistreats herself. Therefore, it is obvious that Cixi will not be willing to marry a widow at a young age. However, women in feudal society pay attention to three obedience and four virtues, and remarriage will be condemned by morality. As the concubine of Emperor Xianfeng, Cixi's public remarriage is even more harmful to the country.

In the third year of Tongzhi, in 1864, an imperial examination candidate named Weng Zengyuan was appointed as the champion of the new subject and became famous in Beijing. Is Weng Zengyuan the famous minister of Qing Dynasty? The nephew, and Weng Tong? Once upon a time, he was also the top scholar, and "an uncle and two top scholars" became a beautiful talk in Beijing. Weng Zengyuan was thirty years old, with outstanding appearance and the title of champion. He was both talented and handsome, and the people in Beijing called him the "beauty champion".

Weng Zengyuan was appointed as a scholar in Hanlin Academy after he won the top prize in high school. Cixi has been fascinated by this "beauty champion" for a long time, and finally one day she couldn't help but be curious and summoned Weng Zengyuan. Cixi was elated when she saw Weng Zengyuan's great appearance and decent manners. Cixi first talked with him about the DPRK, and then slowly turned to gossip. Weng Zengyuan had not yet noticed Cixi's intention. Finally, the topic turned sharply, which made Weng Zengyuan feel uncomfortable.

Cixi talked about Li Shangyin's Untitled, and she said that it was better to change "yet I feel the harmonious heart-beat of the Sacred Unicorn" into "a little heart". Weng Zengyuan, an outstanding literary talent, immediately thought of it. After such a change, the second half of the sentence "though I have for my body no wings like those of the bright-coloured phoenix" would be changed to "Cai Feng flies without wings", and he was about to blurt it out, but suddenly it flashed, and it seemed that "Cai Feng flies together" and "Linxi has a heart" were playing charades with himself. At this time, he found that Cixi was watching him with strange eyes.

Weng Zengyuan vaguely realized that this was clearly a hint from Cixi that she wanted to hook up with herself. I saw bean big sweat slipping from his face, and I didn't dare to speak for a long time, just hanging my head. Cixi laughed and ordered the eunuch to send him out.

Weng Zengyuan feels that a crisis is coming. If people know that he is having an affair with the current queen mother, then even if he has ten heads, it will not be enough. So he made a decisive decision and quickly resigned from the court. Between his life and his future, he chose to save his life. After resigning, he retired to the mountains and did not dare to show up easily.

people were puzzled by Weng Zengyuan's sudden resignation. He finally won the top prize and gave up his official career after a few days as an official. However, only Weng Zengyuan knows the difficulties.

With regard to the private life of Empress Dowager Cixi's harem, there are various sayings circulating in unofficial history. Generally speaking, Empress Dowager Cixi is a bohemian and promiscuous harem. From another perspective, it is normal for Empress Dowager Cixi to have such an affair. After all, it is hard to believe that a beautiful young woman who has been widowed since she was 26 years old shows no signs of cheating. Let's take a look at some of the more famous Toy Boy of Cixi.

Empress Dowager Cixi had been in love with Prince Gong for a long time. When she first entered the palace as a xiunv, she had an affair with Yi, and often had an affair while others were not looking. Some even suspected that Emperor Tongzhi was not the biological son of Xianfeng, but the illegitimate son of Cixi and Yi.

After Cixi consolidated her power, she devoted herself to doting on Rong Lu. It is said that Rong Lu was Cixi's first love, and she saved Cixi from being raped by villains when she was young. Since then, she has kept an ambiguous relationship and often committed adultery.

Wen Tingshi in the Qing Dynasty mentioned such a story in "The Story of Smelling Dust", saying that in the spring of the eighth year of Guangxu, there was an antique dealer named Bai in Liulichang, Beijing, who was very charming. After being introduced by Li Lianying, he was favored by Empress Dowager Cixi, called him to live in the palace for more than a month and was released. On one occasion, the two were bumped into by Empress Dowager Cixi. Instead of blaming Li Lianying for bringing outsiders into the palace privately, Cixi showed some excitement, because she found that the man surnamed Shi was well-proportioned and handsome, so she left him in the palace to commit adultery day and night.
