There are others who hold different views on what kind of emperor Xianfeng was. They believed that although Emperor Xianfeng was not as good as Kang and Gan, he was at least better than Jiaqing and Daoguang. "Yu Dahua: Xianfeng was a ruthless figure in rectifying the administration of officials, and his level and intensity in dealing with officials were even greater than that of Yongzheng. Yu Dahua: Ren Xian's "talent, wisdom, and wisdom" changed the Qing Dynasty's "emphasis on Manchu suppression" for more than 200 years. "Han" national policy.
No one can judge what kind of emperor Xianfeng was during the war years, but at least we know that he was an extremely tragic emperor. As soon as he came to power, he encountered the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement. Here The bonfire did not stop, but the smoke started again. The British and French forces invaded China.
When we look at the harem of Emperor Xianfeng, there is only one person who laughs last, and that is the Empress Dowager Cixi. Yehelala's status is actually not high. Her biological father is even a very evil minister, but how did she get the favor of Emperor Xianfeng?
The most important thing is that she is beautiful, incomparably beautiful. Emperor Xianfeng was a romantic emperor who liked women very much. Emperor Xianfeng would not be stingy about his love for beauties. Empress Dowager Cixi once said: "After entering the palace, the maids envied my beauty and beauty, but it was all my fault. ". Shiye Yewen records: "When Wenzong first came to Cixi, he seemed confused and drowning. What the Song of Everlasting Sorrow calls "but the spring nights are short and the sun rises too fast, the emperor gave up his early hearings from then on" seems to be the case. "
Secondly, the Empress Dowager Cixi was intelligent and considerate, and was the translator of Emperor Xianfeng. He wrote, "A little is wise. ” wrote, “You are resourceful and will do what you want to do first when encountering things. You are worthy of this. "Wrote, "With his wisdom, he was favored by the emperor. "
The third is to know how to read people's eyes and give their own suggestions in a timely manner. Records: "Persuaded Emperor Xianfeng to appoint Zeng Guofan to take charge of all divisions and lend food to the Hunan Army. There is no shortage. Zeng Guofan was able to pacify the Cantonese bandits, which was also attributed to Cixi. He said: "If we lose Wuhan again and go back to make friends, the emperor will be seriously ill and will be very tired." After peeping, he will gradually think of stealing the handle, and then go to the front line to carry out political affairs. "When things were almost over, "Hou Ye stopped" immediately went dormant. Nara, who had a good sense of style, knew how to act according to the camera and knew how to advance and retreat.
Finally, she gave birth to a son for Emperor Xianfeng. This is the only son of Emperor Xianfeng, and it is given to Zai Chun. With the preciousness of mother and son, Nora's status has been significantly improved: "The prince was born in March of the sixth year of Mu Zong. The imperial edict was issued to Jin Yifei, and the canonization ceremony was held in December. The noble concubine in beautiful clothes in July and December. ”
It was these indispensable factors that enabled Empress Dowager Cixi to overcome all difficulties, win favor, and rise to a high position.
Cixi gained the favor of Emperor Xianfeng due to the combined effect of multiple factors The result. She was naturally beautiful and had an outstanding appearance. According to the records of Deling Manchu, Cixi was "still a very beautiful woman" and her hands were "not only white and greasy, but also extremely delicate. For us young people." From this, we can infer how beautiful Cixi was in her prime 50 years ago. Therefore, she was favored by Emperor Xianfeng.
Many of Emperor Xianfeng's memorials were read by Cixi. Because Cixi wrote well, so she had "charm", and "she was often asked to write memorials." Cixi seemed to have an instinctive interest and sensitivity in power. She also participated in political affairs and made suggestions for Emperor Xianfeng. . Over time, I have a clear understanding of the operating model of the highest authority, which provides convenience and foundation for the future. It is conceivable that without this internship and training in running the Qing government, I would have nothing to do with political affairs. If you know it, you will no longer be able to listen to politics.
