What strange thing happened to Cixi's 60th birthday? Birds can't fly and fish can't swim. How did Li explain it skillfully?

Birds and fish were released, and they came back soon. Li lied to Cixi that neither the bird nor the fish wanted to leave, but they stayed here to celebrate your birthday. Cixi believed it to be true and considered it a good omen.

Cixi spent a lot of money on her birthday.

Cixi is a very extravagant woman. She has been defeated all her life. She has never considered how the people of the country should be governed, and the country will get better and better. This is not her 60th birthday. She just wants to pay attention to it, and asks the following people to refer to Ganlong's birthday.

In order to make her happy, Cixi's people simply gave 32 million taels of silver to Cixi for her birthday. Her birthday was arranged and she spent a lot of money. However, the Beiyang Navy was a disaster, and all of them died. You know, the money for Cixi's birthday was originally for the Beiyang Navy. Before her birthday, Cixi heard the news that all the Beiyang Navy sailors were killed, and she was very happy to celebrate her birthday. She really wants to say, damn the Qing Dynasty.

A year ago, the Qing government allocated a huge sum of 32 million taels of silver to hold a grand congratulations ceremony for Cixi. All my standards are based on Qianlong. In addition to organizing the Palace and the Summer Palace, I will decorate the landscape on both sides of the road from Xihuamen to the Summer Palace, and even build many buildings, invite a troupe and organize monks to recite scriptures, just to facilitate her visit on the road.

Cixi's birthday was released.

On birthdays, everyone will choose to release birds and fill in some good luck for themselves. Cixi is no exception. She chose birds and fish, or was handled by Li Lai, the great eunuch. Li first released the bird, but strangely, it didn't come back soon after flying out. Li said the bird didn't want to leave.

Then it was even weirder that Li let the fish go. The fish swam away, but didn't come back for a while. Li said to Cixi, "The Empress Dowager is lucky, and neither bird nor fish wants to leave. They stay here to celebrate your birthday. " Cixi was very happy to hear that. She really thinks this is a good sign.
