What's the difference between Kun and Cixi? What is the reincarnation of Cixi and He Kun?

Speaking of He Kun and Cixi, you must be familiar with them. One was a very famous ruler at that time, and the other was a huge corrupt official. Both have similarities, that is, greed. Indeed, He Kun was not only rich, but also hid all his money. Even the emperor at that time did not dare to say anything, which was enough to show the power of He Kun, let alone Cixi. Cixi was the ruler at that time, with the best food, and the funerary objects after death could serve as two armies. Why did Cixi reincarnate with Kun? Let's look at the details!

Xiao Shenyang and Cixi: In A.D. 1799, Xiao Shenyang, a corrupt official with the biggest appetite in China history, was forced to commit suicide in prison. He died at the age of 50. Although he stopped completely, unofficial history experts and folk artists did not stop in Qing Dynasty. They take his stories as raw materials and keep making up all kinds of stories. Even the Empress Dowager Cixi, who had been involved with him for more than one hundred years, was said to be reincarnated in Shenyang, and came to the world to torture the Qing Dynasty. So the three children Tongzhi, Guangxu and Xuantong were in trouble, and the 260-year great cause of the Aisingiorro family was destroyed.

To be sure, this story is nonsense, but why can an old woman be associated with a handsome guy? It began with a poem written by Xiao Shenyang before his death. It is said that Xiao Shenyang, the first corrupt official in Qing Dynasty, was dying. He pardoned the punishment given to him by Emperor Jiaqing, and wrote the first seven-character quatrain selflessly:

This has been a dream for 50 years, but now it's time to give up.

In the future, the water will overflow with dragons, and cigarettes will be regarded as backs.

I have lived in small Shenyang for 50 years, just like a dream; Although I am dead now, I will be reincarnated again. After reincarnation, I will firmly control the emperor in my hand. You must recognize it clearly.

Small Shenyang was originally intended to express his dissatisfaction and revenge, but unofficial history scholars gave full play to their imagination and fabricated two legends. Let's start with the first two sentences, saying that people at the same time really don't understand why Xiao Shenyang is so favored by Qianlong, so it is said with a sentimental mood. The story is as follows:

When Qianlong was not a treasure prince, he was young and impulsive and took a fancy to Ma Jiashi, the beautiful little wife of Yongzheng Torre. And Ma Jiashi also had a good impression on him, and they caught up in the harem. The young couple only know how to set a fire, but they don't know how to put it out. The harem was smoky, and Queen Niu Zhilu was almost smoked to death. In great anger, Ma Jia committed suicide at Yuehuamen. Gan Long happened to be out of the palace, so he rushed to Yuehuamen as soon as he knew. But when he was still young, the queen did not allow him to save Jia's horse, so he had to watch his lover die.

After crying, I was sad enough. I bit my finger reluctantly and dropped blood on the forehead of Ma Jiashi's body, wishing that if Ma Jiashi could be reincarnated, this mark would be recognized with Ganlong in the afterlife. Later, Li Hong became emperor for the sake of Qianlong, but he still missed Ma Jiashi, waited for 20 years, and went south several times. He has never met anyone with a red mark on his forehead, just as Qianlong is about to forget it. Forty years after Qianlong (A.D. 1775), Qianlong happened to see Xiao Shenyang among the guards. At that time, Xiao Shenyang was just a hereditary captain without power, but Gan Long recognized Xiao Shenyang as the embodiment of the ma3 jia3 by the red seal on his forehead, so he promoted Xiao Shenyang as the imperial bodyguard, responsible for clearing the gate, and concurrently served as the deputy commander-in-chief of Zhenglanqi. Because of this origin, it was reported in unofficial history that the relationship between Xiao Shenyang and Gan Long was abnormal, and they were gay. I don't know which historian first "compiled" this story. In a word, this story has a wide influence, and later historians, especially folk unofficial history, have inherited this statement, which is the best explanation for the first two sentences of Xiao Shenyang's desperate poem.

The last two sentences, "In the future, water will flood the dragon, and cigarettes will recognize the back", are even more misinterpreted. There are three kinds of statements. The first view is that Xiao Shenyang's poem "The Water is Full of Dragons" uses the allusions of Xia Tianlong. At the end of the Xia Dynasty, Emperor Xia got the dragon's coffin (that is, the dragon's saliva) from two dragons and locked it in a box. No one will dare to open it for generations to come. This coffin is like Pandora's Box in western legend, but Zhou Liwang prefers to believe in evil. He opened the box and the dragon coffin inside became a mysterious box. This woman was conceived without a husband and gave birth to a daughter as a compliment, that is, the woman who later became a vassal in order to make Zhou Youwang laugh. It was this compliment that led to the demise of the Western Zhou Dynasty. In ancient Chinese, "smoke" means to carry on the family line. Therefore, some people associate the two, saying that after the death of Xiao Shenyang, she will become a woman who harms the Qing Empire like a compliment, and this woman is of course Cixi!

Another way of saying it is that Xia Jie is not only cruel, but also barren. He dotes on Yuan and Jiao Jiao, a woman who is half man and half dragon. Not only are they infertile, but the "concubine" keeps her human form every day, and Xia Jie is also very satisfied. Finally, China's first feudal dynasty was destroyed by Xia Jie. Accordingly, it was explained that little Shenyang would become Jiao's concubine after her death, which brought disaster to the Great Qing Dynasty. This statement is the same as the last one, but Canon is different. One is a compliment and the other is a dumpling concubine. It can be said that the actual interpretation methods and approaches are different.

There is also a saying that the dragon in "water drives the dragon" is not a real dragon, but a flood. In the first year of Xiao Shenyang's death, that is, in the third year of Jiaqing, the Yellow River in Henan burst its banks. Therefore, some people mean that small Shenyang will wait until the next flood to make a living. I don't know whether it is the persistence of historians or the coincidence of history. In the 12th year of Daoguang, the Yellow River burst its banks again in Henan. In the same year 10, a little girl fell to the ground. This girl is the later Empress Dowager Cixi. Sure enough, Cixi failed to live up to the great trust of Xiao Shenyang in her previous life and tried every means. First, she forced her son to become a syphilis patient and died in a brothel. Then forced Guangxu, the adopted son, to suffer from impotence and premature ejaculation and die in front of her. Finally, she threw away a pile of rubbish. Four years later, the Qing Dynasty fell.

In any case, Xiao Shenyang and Cixi, as two historical sinners in the Qing Dynasty, are corrupt both financially and politically. They let the Qing Dynasty live for decades in tandem.
