The empress dowager doesn't appear many times, but she knows everything in the palace like the back of her hand. She can kill people quietly, which can be said to be very clever, but it is such a person who broke the secret of Sangong before her death. Let's see:
First of all, the killer of Chun-won. For a long time, the queen knew everything she did. Although the queen's means are very secret, the queen mother is not simple. She has been in the palace for many years, and she knows all about the means of the palace. She has many eyes and ears, so she knows that many miscarriages in the palace were caused by the queen, and the queen mother also knows that Chunyuan died during childbirth, but she chose silence for the honor of Urnala.
Second, it is better for the queen mother to choose a queen than a pure yuan. Empress Dowager Cixi once said that Chunyuan was too soft-tempered to survive in the palace, while Yixiu not only had the means, but also was ruthless and could do whatever it took to gain power. In the eyes of Empress Dowager Cixi, the status of the empress is the most important. Whether it's Chunyuan or Yixiu, as long as anyone can keep the position of the queen and the honor of Urnala, it's the key. So in those years, actions were made to hurt Chunyuan, but the queen mother knew but didn't stop it.
Third, the empress dowager knew that the emperor would be abolished. The Empress Dowager not only knows the battle in the harem, but also knows the emperor very well. She knew that once the emperor knew the real cause of death of Chunyuan Queen, there must be no room for easy repair, so she left a will early, and Wu Lala's family was not allowed to waste it, but she never imagined that it would make Yi Xiu a queen for life.
Empress Dowager Cixi begged the emperor to meet the fourteen emperors before she died, but no matter what Empress Dowager Cixi said, the emperor refused to agree. The queen mother saw the emperor's meaning and cried and said to the emperor, "Emperor, if you lock up your relatives, your brothers and sisters, you will disown your six relatives and separate your flesh and blood."
The emperor may never have dreamed that these two words said by the queen mother before she died were actually fulfilled on him. The emperor didn't have many children in his life. The most painful thing was the three children born to Zhen Xuan, but except Oboro Moon, none of them were his own flesh and blood. Didn't this come true what the queen mother said to him before she died? The emperor killed his brother and acted viciously. He cared about the affair between the queen mother and Long Keduo all his life, and he hated the harem concubines for betraying himself. Unexpectedly, before dying, I learned that at least three children were not my own flesh and blood, and they were all confirmed by the Queen Mother.
The emperor had six sons, the eldest brother and the second brother died young, and the favorite sixth brother was the son of Guo Ziyu County. The remaining three elder brothers, four elder brothers and five elder brothers were deprived of their status as princes. One was raised in Yuanmingyuan for many years, and the other was sick all the year round and lived outside the palace. Isn't this what the Queen Mother said about "separation of flesh and blood"?
Although the emperor had supreme power and was the most outstanding man of his time, his life was still a tragedy. The pure Queen Yuan, the most beloved person in his life, may not have loved him at all and left him early, which has since become an unattainable dream bubble. Later, his favorite woman, Zhen Xuan, fell in love with his younger brother, Guo Ziyu, and gave birth to two children for Guo Ziyu. Until his death, Zhen Xuan hated him for killing Guo Ziyu. The words left by the emperor's mother before her death were dissatisfied with him. It seems that he has never been loved in his life, and everyone who loves him has been hurt by him. Everything he asked for, in fact, didn't get it. Everything he once hated and hated happened to him.
The reason why The Queen of the Palace became a classic is because everyone in the play has no helplessness and hatred. There are no absolute good people and no absolute bad people in this drama, only one poor person after another. Even the supreme emperor still has his wishes. Even if he wins the final victory like Zhen Xuan, he is still lonely in his later years.
