Chapter 543 Empress Dowager Cixi 12
All the ministers in the court believed that he was still the cornerstone and pillar of the country, and that he was the best among the royal family members in terms of both ability and virtue.
Cixi dismissed Yi on this ground, which was obviously an exaggeration and difficult to convince the people.
Afterwards, Cixi carried out a major personnel reshuffle.
Prince Li Shiduo was appointed as the chief military minister, while Prince Chun Yihuan was in charge of the government.
This major personnel reshuffle of the Grand Council and various ministries and agencies is known in history as the "Jiashen Yishu".
If before the change of government in Jiashen, Cixi still had the ambition and desire to govern.
After the change of government in Jiashen, her personality and governing style underwent earth-shaking changes.
Having reached the pinnacle of power, Cixi began to indulge in personal enjoyment. Most of the negative comments about her in later generations were concentrated in this period.
In addition, he later spent a lot of money to celebrate his birthday and build a garden, regardless of coastal defense.
The Treaty of Shimonoseki was signed during the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, and the Boxer Protocol was signed during the Eight-Nation Alliance's invasion of China.
Suppress the Hundred Days Reform and the Hundred Days' Reform.
However, she did do a few good things in her later years. She approved things that Zeng Guofan had always wanted to promote during his lifetime.
After his death, Li Hongzhang continued to promote it.
That was to send a group of young people to study abroad, among whom Zhan Tianyou, Tang Shaoyi and others were students at that time.
You have to know that the Chinese at that time were very anti-foreigners and were unwilling to let their sons go abroad to study in foreign countries.
The Qingliu ministers in the court also considered it a shame to study in foreign countries.
But the government still provided money to help them go abroad for further studies, and those who graduated provided great help to China's modernization drive at that time.
Cixi was in power from the 1861th year of Emperor Xianfeng's reign (1908) to the th year of Emperor Guangxu's reign ().
All these things happened in the last dozen years of his 48 years in power.
There was no bad reputation for the first 30 years or so, and people know relatively little about what Cixi did during the first 30 years when she was in power.
However, her performance during her previous tenure in office, from suppressing the Taiping Rebellion, destroying the Nian Rebellion, recovering Xinjiang, to promoting Westernization, was also remarkable.
In May of the fifth year of Emperor Xianfeng's reign (1855), Concubine Li gave birth to a daughter and was promoted to Concubine Li.
In the same year, Emperor Xianfeng summoned Nara to be a noble lady.
Xue Li assisted Emperor Xianfeng in reviewing memorials.
Yi?? saw the weapons that Xue Li had made and provided more mineral sources.
They even arranged for people to be secretly stationed in surrounding countries.
The enhanced version of Sydney's opium has caused the Americans, French, British, Russians and Japanese to be overwhelmed.
There is no time to make further arrangements for the Qing Dynasty.
Those merchants refused to give up, and as a result, caravans from various countries became walking fat sheep.
Disappeared without a trace!
The Qing Dynasty therefore had time to develop properly.
Not only did Xue Li open her own factory, she also tried to get Xianfeng to open one as well.
He didn't want to, and in the end it was Xue Li who colluded with the Queen to do it!
Because the two of them often stayed together to handle palace affairs and government affairs.
Xueli pretended to be tired and helpless many times, and the queen comforted her and coaxed her gently.
Incredibly gentle.
Xue Li looked at the queen's bright and clear eyes and was stunned unexpectedly.
The queen blushed and looked away, not knowing what to do.
"Sister, why do you love me so much?"
Xue Li held the chair with one hand and stood in front of the Queen.
The queen was confined in a small space, her face red as she tried to remain calm.
"I am the queen of a country, so of course I treat everyone equally."
"Really? My sister obviously loves me more!" Xue Li leaned close to her face.
One face is sweet and dignified, the other face is charming and cold.
Conflicting feelings were expressed on each other's faces.
The queen was in a panic and wanted to hide but had nowhere to hide.
"You, don't think too much, I'm just doing my duty!"
"Really? Is it to relieve the emperor's worries? Not just for me?"
Xue Li spoke in a sad tone and suddenly sat on the Queen's lap.
The queen's eyes were dazed and she was so shocked that she didn't know what to do.
Xue Li had already pinched her chin and kissed her.
"Sister is so sweet, I love her so much..."
Xue Li's voice was sticky and her eyes were full of affection.
The queen panicked and wanted to push her away, but Xue Li grabbed her hand and placed it on her conscience.
"Sister, touch it, is it soft? Do you like it, sister?"
Xue Li was caressing herself and moaning softly.
The queen was frightened and cried, but she didn't dare to make a loud noise.
Blushing and at a loss!
Until, Andehai's voice came.
"Masters, the emperor is awake!"
The queen pushed Xueli away and ran out.
Xue Li's clothes were not messy, but she exuded such charm that she seemed like a fairy that absorbed people's energy.
Isn’t it a coincidence that she discovered that besides being the queen and the queen mother, she also possessed the phoenix aura.
It can actually absorb it so well!
Xue Li's original intention was actually to make friends with the Niuhulu family.
At this moment...
Xue Li liked the queen very much when she thought of her shy look.
Girls are indeed sweet and soft.
Even my mouth feels icy cold.
Unlike a man, the heat comes to your face.
Xue Li was still thinking, and An Dehai, who had been waiting outside for a long time without any response, thought something had happened.
Pushed the door open and came in.
Then, I met Xue Li’s gaze looking back.
That glance almost made the eunuch An Dehai lose control of himself!
No wonder she was promoted to Imperial Concubine Yi so quickly!
Even though An Dehai became a eunuch, he still had the desires of a man in his bones.
Looking at Xue Li's lazy and attractive appearance at this moment, he boldly knelt down to put on Xue Li's shoes.
"Your Majesty's feet match these blue and white eight-treasure patterned pedestals. They are so beautiful!"
An Dehai looked at the pair of feet with fascination, and Xue Li felt that he couldn't help but go forward and sniff them.
When Xue Li thought about this, she shuddered.
There are so many people she can yell at, so leave the eunuchs to the old woman.
Xue Li glared at him angrily and left.
An Dehai became even happier!
He didn't even notice the turmoil in the eyes of the young eunuch beside him.
Xue Li continued to accompany Emperor Xianfeng to handle government affairs.
He said he was accompanying her, but what mattered was that she thought about him and he made the decision.
The rest were handed over to a few trusted ministers.
He held the little beauty's hand reluctantly.
Xue Li didn't care about those things and gradually selected some people to be placed in the positions.
Of course, it was done by the Queen and Yizhen.
Yi?? is now ordered to take charge of the affairs of the Prime Minister's camp.
At a time of internal and external troubles, Xianfeng intended to use foreigners to suppress the popular uprising.
Xue Li arranged for him to have several beauties from the south of the Yangtze River to sing songs with him every day.
There is no time to commit suicide!
And Yi?? perhaps knew of An Dehai's ambition, and tried desperately to find Xue Li at night.
Xue Li was fragile and helpless, allowing him to do whatever he wanted.
Yi?? felt more and more distressed.
He even intended to kill An Dehai.
Xue Li told him not to rush for now, as the most important things were selecting talents and creating disputes in foreign countries.
Because of her twins, Imperial Concubine Kangci was not depressed as people in history would have been unable to get them.
