1889, when Zai Tian got married and started a family, Nora announced her "return to politics" and retired to the Summer Palace. However, the personnel of the DPRK and China are still in their hands, and Emperor Guangxu is actually living in a puppet position.
1894, Japan launched the Sino-Japanese War. That year, it coincided with Nora's 60th birthday, and she planned to "celebrate in the Summer Palace, following the example of Kangxi Qianlong's reign, from the inside to the garden, passing by, setting up a colorful shed and holding a celebration". Mobilize naval funds, repair the Summer Palace, decorate the scenery and collect donations. So he supported Li Hongzhang's idea of compromise and surrender to Japan.
Preparations for the 60th Anniversary Celebration began at the beginning of the year. In August, the Sino-Japanese War intensified, and the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development wrote "Please stop the project", and Nora flew into a rage. Weng Tonghe, Minister of Military Affairs of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, was forced to change his tune and said, "Stop inspection refers to ordinary projects in the future, and there is no need to stop existing projects." Some courtiers of the warring factions have been at large, demanding that the "finishing touch" be stopped and used for military spending. Nora was furious and said, "whoever makes me unhappy today, I will make him unhappy all my life."

Military emergencies came like snowflakes, but Nora was unmoved. In the Summer Palace, someone congratulated me on my ascension to the temple, held a big banquet and invited a group of ministers. I enjoyed the play for three days in a row, and my business was postponed.
165438+1On October 22nd, Lushun, the stronghold of Beiyang Navy, fell, but Nora still disagreed and turned her finger at the hawks headed by Emperor Guangxu. 165438+1On October 26th, Nora summoned the Minister of Military Affairs in Yiluan Hall, but Emperor Guangxu was absent. Suddenly announced that "Jin, Zhen all kinds of misdeeds have asked for intervention, that is, to surrender to the nobility." He also sent Zhi Rui, the younger brother of Jin and Zhen, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, to guard Uriah Terrace. Princess Zhen was a favorite of Guangxu and supported Guangxu's main battle against Japan. At that time, some main battle officials in the imperial court were dissatisfied with Nala's and Li Hongzhang's knees to Japan, so they asked the younger brother of the Second Princess, Zhi Rui, to "close the palace and let Zhen Fei speak on it" to promote Guangxu's resistance to Japan. 10 year128 October, Wen personally played: "The Japanese aggressors and the ministers of Xinjiang have different aspirations, but what they want is strictly discussed", impeaching Li Hongzhang and others, "only wanting peace" and "waiting for attack", and "asking the ministers of Japan and Beiyang to present a strict discussion to preserve the national law". At this time, Nalashi used Prince Gong to preside over the peace talks with Japan with all his heart, and there was a lot of noise between the Lord and the air. Nora chose to punish Princess Guangxu and her brother at this time, with the aim of cracking down on the pacifists and demonstrating to Guangxu.

Zhang and Shao Youlian were sent to Japan as plenipotentiaries to promote peace. The Japanese government refused to hold this meeting on the pretext that China's envoy did not fully authorize it. When the negotiation failed and the envoy was rejected, Nora was terrified. He ordered Shuntianfu to prepare chariots and mules, intending to flee to Shanxi.
After the Japanese government refused to make peace in Hiroshima, it immediately attacked Ahava, another base of Beiyang Navy. On the 27th, Ahava was captured and the Beiyang Navy was destroyed. At the beginning of March, the lower reaches of Liaohe River were launched, and within six days, Niuzhuang, Yingkou and Tianzhuangtai were even trapped.

After the news came out, the whole country was in an uproar and angrily denounced the traitorous behavior of Nala, Li Hongzhang and others.

The antithetical couplet protest of "the defeat of the three armed forces is based on the peace of the land" According to treaty of shimonoseki, the Japanese army began to send troops to invade Taiwan Province Province in June, which was met with heroic resistance from the people of Taiwan Province Province. On the one hand, Nalashi ordered officials from Taiwan Province Province to cross the border, and it was forbidden to support the anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians in Taiwan Province Province. At the same time, he set up a ceiling in the Summer Palace to prepare for the summer vacation. People also wrote a couplet entitled "Taiwan Province Province has been returned to Japan, and the ceiling of the Summer Palace has been erected", denouncing Nora for treason.
