Why did Cixi rule China for 37 years because she was so timid to the outside world?

As we all know, Cixi did not ascend to the throne of the emperor, but she always held the political power. The first reason is that Cixi's personal ruling ability is super strong, which can well safeguard the interests of courtiers and ministers and balance the political relations of all walks of life. This is really admirable. Although it is not satisfactory, at least most people can support her on the surface and then obey her arrangement.

During Cixi's participation in politics, various places were rehabilitated and rebelled from time to time, and the people could not live and work in peace and contentment because of political instability. For this matter, Cixi gave countermeasures and responded positively, quelling the war in the northwest and the turmoil in remote areas of Xinjiang. This is supported by the people. He is a realistic ruling leader, so he is loved by the people and can be in power for a long time.

Cixi disagreed with the political reform, because the political reform safeguarded the interests of most bureaucratic landlords, and maintaining a relaxed attitude towards the outside world also safeguarded the interests of the ruling class. In the political situation at that time, this is a feasible method, which will be supported by most people, so it can maintain long-term rule.
