186 1 August, Xianfeng, aged 3 1, died in chengde mountain resort. When Xianfeng died, he said, "Make Zai Chun the Crown Prince." He also said, "Zai Chun, the eldest son of the emperor, is now the Crown Prince, and has sent Zai Yuan, Duan Hua, Jing Shou, Su Shun, Yin Mu, Kuangyuan, Du Han and Jiao Youying to assist and praise all government affairs." This is the famous "Eight Visits to Caotang" in history. The ambitious Cixi was dissatisfied with the "eight ministers who took care of life" in front of her, and decided to unite with Prince Gong to get rid of them. Deeply trusted by Cixi, he used his An Dehai to become an informant who contacted Cixi and Prince Gong. He not only gave them secret information, but also made suggestions. Finally, Cixi and Prince Gong? Finally, Xinyou coup was launched, and eight ministers, including Zaiheng, Duanhua, Su Shun and Jing Shou, were beheaded, executed or exiled. The system of praising the township was overthrown and he acceded to the throne at the age of six. Empress Dowager Cixi began to listen to politics and became the de facto supreme authority in the late Qing Dynasty. In the Xinyou coup, An Dehai acted as the Empress Dowager and Prince Gong? Secretly, he made great contributions, and was finally promoted to the position of chief eunuch, becoming a prominent figure in the imperial court. Empress Dowager Cixi also trusted An Dehai more, and he became the real confidant of Empress Dowager Cixi.
What role did Prince Gong play in the coup in mind? He also gained unprecedented power, became the king of the national government, mastered the power of the Ministry of War and the Prime Minister's yamen, and was a real power figure. At this point, An Dehai's desire for power was aroused. He felt that the two Empresses were women, and he had the ability to influence them, and Prince Gong was the biggest obstacle for him to interfere in state affairs. He began to complain to Cixi about Prince Gong and suppressed Prince Gong. Sure enough, Empress Dowager Cixi and An Dehai, who had a strong desire for power, designed a game to remonstrate impeachment? Opportunity, launch a surprise attack, write a letter, and compete on the charge that "although there is no evidence, everything happens for a reason"? The king's state affairs and all errands are not allowed to interfere in all official duties. A month later, again? On the grounds of "deep remorse, I would rather know shame and regret", I ordered Yi? "I'm still walking in military history, so I don't have to reconsider my political name." It is an extremely clever political means to remove the "member" of Prince Gong for his own use.
After gaining success, Andrew made great efforts to cultivate his cronies and make friends with many courtiers who used fame and fortune as bait. At that time, An Dehai was crowded. Young as he is, he is in power.
/kloc-in the winter of 0/867, An Dehai hosted a banquet in Tianfutang Restaurant outside the main entrance of Beijing's largest restaurant, and formally married a 19-year-old beauty, Masai Hua, whose stage name was nine years old. Empress dowager cixi also specially gave silver 1200 and satin 100. An Dehai became a folk news figure for a time, which shows that he is very publicity.
Andrew lived in the palace for a long time, and there was no place to play in the palace, so he wanted to play in the palace and take the opportunity to collect money. 1869, when Emperor Tongzhi reached marriageable age, An Dehai repeatedly asked Empress Dowager Cixi to send him to Jiangnan to buy dragon robes and prepare the wedding in the palace, which was approved by Empress Dowager Cixi. With the support of Empress Dowager Cixi, An Dehai ignored the patriarchal clan system which prohibited eunuchs from leaving the palace in the Qing Dynasty and led a group of followers, crowding round and leaving Beijing.
An Dehai led two Taiping ships down the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, with two flags hanging on them, which read "Imperial edict, purchase dragon robes". There is also a small flag on the big national flag. A sun was painted in the flag, and it was three feet dark inside. Hanging the three-legged black flag on An Dehai's boat is tantamount to openly claiming to run errands for Empress Dowager Cixi. There are several dragon and phoenix flags flying in the wind on both sides of the ship.
Dominant An Dehai appeared as an imperial envoy, and some local officials along the way not only dared not report it, but also rushed to curry favor with him, making him get carried away and do whatever he wanted. On July 20th, the ship entered Dezhou, Shandong Province. The next day, An Dehai actually celebrated his birthday on the boat and led all the people to worship the dragon clothes he brought. This incident caused quite a lot of discussion among the people, which caused a sensation in Dezhou City and shocked the Shandong Governor Ding Baozhen. Honest Ding Baozhen hurriedly ordered Dongchang Magistrate, Jining Prefecture and other counties along the way to "file a case in An Dehai as a whole and review it in the whole province". At the same time, on July 29, the matter was presented to the Empress Dowager and Emperor Tongzhi with a 400-mile memorial. I am deeply saddened by Chen An Dehai's illegal behavior in a "shocking place" and complain about his duty place. There are many reasons for "having to stop and be as cautious as possible": First, the Qing Dynasty was not allowed to hand over eunuchs to outsiders for more than 200 years, and "eunuchs were not allowed to leave the province"; Second, the dragon robe is a royal costume, with its own weaving system, and no eunuch is involved in wasting money. Besides, both the empress dowager and the emperor advocate frugality, and eunuchs don't need to go out shopping. Even if it happens, there must be clear laws and documents. Third, eunuchs should pass cards as usual, stamp back and forth, and never listen to their arbitrary amusement and nonsense; Fourth, the dragon and phoenix flag is forbidden to be used by the royal family. If you are an imperial eunuch who knows etiquette, how dare you violate the rules and regulations? 5. Taking actresses on business trips is especially unsystematic.
On August 2nd, An Dehai was captured by He Yufu, the magistrate of Taian County. He did not follow Chen Yuxiang and others, but was immediately taken to Jinan and interrogated by Ding Baozhen himself.
On August 6th, Ding Baozhen received a tip-off from the Ministry of War, saying, "The eunuch went out of the city without permission, and all kinds of things were illegal. How can we make an example of him if we don't punish him severely? Ding Baozhen soon sent a member to investigate the eunuch named An Lanling instead of him, and let his followers testify, which is true. He was executed on the spot without trial, and cunning is not allowed. If the eunuch got wind of it and returned to the straight place, Zeng Guofan cooked as a whole and strictly abided by Buddhism. If there is negligence, but the governor is asking, his entourage and other bandits will be severely punished without asking. " On August 7th, Ding Baozhen personally checked the truth and executed An Dehai in Jinan as scheduled.
Why did Ding Baozhen have the courage to arrest and execute An Dehai?
First of all, Ding Baozhen caught the irrefutable evidence that An Dehai violated the patriarchal clan system of the Qing Dynasty, and of course it was also the hidden danger that An Dehai was too self-righteous and too high-profile.
Secondly, Ding Baozhen understood the complicated relationship between Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Shao. The emperor wanted to lead the country, and Empress Ci 'an was dissatisfied with the autocratic power of Empress Dowager Cixi. So, if you send three people with you, it will be difficult for them to intercede for An Dehai. In fact, Tongzhi was about to take the opportunity to inform Cixi that it was time to return the power to the emperor. Killing An Dehai can send a strong message to Cixi, but it avoids asking her mother directly.
Thirdly, An Dehai himself is usually arrogant, even to the little emperor. Besides, when the emperor saw An Dehai's arrogance in Cixi's bed, he already had the idea of doing his best.
Moreover, An Dehai is only a eunuch at best. On the premise of maintaining the patriarchal clan system in the Qing Dynasty, Cixi herself could not publicly say that she supported An Dehai's illegal going out, otherwise she would be in a very unfavorable position and had to abandon him. Besides, Li at this time has already become another confidant of Cixi. So, after receiving the secret fold, Cixi pleaded for her, and Emperor Tongzhi and Empress Ci 'an dealt with An Dehai. Although An Dehai was clever all his life, he was inevitably confused for a while. His arrogance led to his death, and he hurried through a short and sad life of 25 years.
