Why did Xiaozhuang in the early Qing Dynasty and Cixi in the late Qing Dynasty rule half of the Qing Dynasty?

It is said that these two women mastered the rule of half of the Qing Dynasty mainly because they had a very important relationship with the rise and fall of the Qing Dynasty.

Xiaozhuang is the concubine of Huang Taiji, and she gave birth to Fu Lin. After the death of Huang Taiji, his eldest son, Hogg, was abandoned by the Eight Kings organized by Dourgen and chose Fu Lin. Xiao Zhuang saw dourgen's ambition. First, he married Dourgen and saved the little emperor who had just succeeded to the throne. Then he closely United with the old general Huang Taiji led by Sony and Ao Bai and mastered the yellow flag, which made Dourgen successful. When Shunzhi died, he personally announced the abolition of Shunzhi's photos and supported Michelle Ye's succession. Facts have proved that Xiaozhuang is wise, and then he tried his best to unite with Sony, so that Ao Bai did not dare to take the last step after all. It can be said that Xiao Zhuang mastered the chaotic political situation in the early Qing Dynasty and made indelible contributions to the stability and development of the Qing Dynasty. The prosperity of the Qing dynasty began in Kangxi, but it would never have been realized without Xiao Zhuang's early efforts.

Cixi was originally the concubine of Xianfeng, but she was promoted to queen because she gave birth to Xianfeng's only son. However, Cixi is a woman who is very eager for power. After Xianfeng's death, she colluded with Yixin and killed eight ministers of Fuzheng. Later, she forced Yixin to give up her real power, killed the Queen Mother of the East Palace and took power alone. Cixi is an extremely extravagant and hedonistic person, conservative and feudal, and has made China, which should have started reform. In order to celebrate his birthday, he did not hesitate to misappropriate naval military expenses, which led to the defeat of the naval battle. As a direct result, foreign powers began to carve up China more crazily. Because of its conservatism and backwardness, he personally killed the Reform Movement of 1898, which made China backward and the Qing Dynasty completely unable to turn over. If light is the igniter of the demise of the Qing Dynasty, then Cixi is the biggest accelerant of this fire. The decline of the Qing Dynasty has an extremely important relationship with Cixi, so in a sense, Cixi is the chief culprit of the decline of the Qing Dynasty.
