Kangxi relied on Xiaozhuang to grasp the situation. Why didn't Guangxu imitate him?

Guangxu became the Lord of the Qing Dynasty, but it was only a stopgap measure. The real power is Cixi herself. She is the owner of her own house. Why should she help outsiders? Besides, they have different views on governance, and it is not a mother-child relationship, so Guangxu can't rely on Cixi.

0 1, Guangxu is just a puppet.

Let's start with Kangxi. I think Xiaozhuang took great pains to keep Fu Lin's throne. Fu Lin finally came to power, but in the end he chose to retire as a monk. If only the head of the family was separated, and Fu Lin was the king of a country, if he was not in his position, the Qing Dynasty immediately entered a precarious situation. In desperation, Xiao Zhuang had to grieve his grandson Michelle Ye, but Xiao Zhuang regarded Michelle Ye as the future of Qing Dynasty, but Cixi was not.

Emperor Xianfeng lived in Yuyu for many years, but the harem did not give birth to a prince for him. Some concubines did give birth to a prince for him, but they all died young. It is estimated that God didn't want Qing to die so early, so Cixi gave birth to Xianfeng. This child was the later Daoguang Emperor, the Qing Lord, and died in his twenties. It's a pity that Emperor Xianfeng didn't have many children to inherit the throne, so he had to choose a child from the clan and become the new Qing Lord. So Essien Giro? Zai Tian became emperor, known as Emperor Guangxu in history.

Emperor Guangxu and Cixi are related by blood, that is to say, Guangxu is not Cixi's own son. In the eyes of Cixi, Guangxu was just an outsider. How can Guangxu be a servant of the Qing Dynasty? So she made Guangxu a puppet and became the real master of the Qing Dynasty.

02. Political discord

When Kangxi ruled the Qing Dynasty, the two generations had the same wish, that is, to make the Qing Dynasty stronger and stronger. At that time, the Qing Dynasty finally got what it is today through the efforts of Huang Taiji, so the ruling ideas of the two generations are the same. Cixi is different from Guangxu. At that time, the national strength of the Qing dynasty declined, and Guangxu wanted to become stronger through reform. If the Qing dynasty reformed, it would violate the actual interests of Cixi, and Cixi refused.

Cixi and Guangxu have different ruling ideas. They can't imitate Xiaozhuang and Kangxi. Cixi likes to be stable and conservative, and Guangxu likes to rebuild a prosperous dynasty. Their ruling philosophy is one level, and they can't imitate Kangxi and Xiaozhuang at all.
