How did the "Wang Dang" of Cixi change from a young woman to the "Lafayette" of the Empress Dowager?

Beautiful appearance, witty personality, skillful calligraphy, just right advice and only prince all constitute the reasons why Nora is popular.

In the second year of Xianfeng, Nora from Cixi was a girl of 17 years old. She is handsome, cute, charming and charming. This year, the Empress Dowager chose to be a female practitioner of Emperor Xianfeng. After screening, Cixi was lucky enough to be selected. At the same time, Niu Zhelu, who later became the queen, was also selected. At that time, Niu Zhelu was elected as his wife, one level higher than Nora. Nora was elected a nobleman.

On February 6, 2002, Nora was made a nobleman. On May 9th, 18-year-old Nora officially entered the palace and lived in Changchun Palace. On the main hall of Changchun Palace, there is a plaque with Gan Long's imperial pen, which reads four powerful words: "Keep the internal rules", as if to warn the concubines in the harem to strictly abide by the laws of their ancestors and carefully regulate their words and deeds.

How does the blue noble feel when he sees these four words? This competitive young woman will not be bound by any rules. What she wants is how to grab higher power by any means. But it's not easy. In Qing dynasty, concubines in the harem had strict rank restrictions. The following concubines are divided into seven grades: first, imperial concubines, second, concubines, fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh. These are collectively referred to as the theme of Palace.

At that time, Cixi was only a nobleman, the fifth class. Cixi was dissatisfied with her position. She saw this with her own eyes and was worried. However, she knows that she can't be too anxious and strive for a level of time step by step. Practice has proved that Cixi's efforts were not in vain. After two years of hard work, she became a beggar; Two years later, Kim became a concubine; In another year, Kim will be the imperial concubine. In other words, it only took five years. Empress Dowager Cixi rose from the fifth place in Lan Guiren to the second place in Yi Guifei. At this time, Cixi was 22 years old. In the eyes of Emperor Xianfeng, she became more and more beautiful.

Cixi stood out among many concubines. Although she has natural opportunities, she can't deny her human factors. To some extent, this human factor is the premise of a natural opportunity. In the palace where concubines are like forests and maids are like clouds, young concubines can only be favored by the emperor if they want to ascend to heaven as soon as possible. So, how did Lan Guiren get the favor of Emperor Xianfeng? This should start with Emperor Xianfeng.

Emperor Xianfeng is a tragic figure. He is a poor emperor and a romantic. Emperor Xianfeng was born on June 8th, 11th year of Daoguang, and died on July 17th, 11th year of Xianfeng. /kloc-ascended the throne at the age of 0/8, and died at the age of 3 1 and reigned for about 12 years.

He said he was a hard emperor because he was in office for 12 years. In his view, no day is safe. For Emperor Xianfeng, internal and external troubles are everywhere.

Internal worry refers to the national peasant uprising headed by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. 185 1 year 1 month1day. On Hong Xiuquan's 38th birthday, he sacrificed to the gods, declared an uprising and named the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. At this time, Emperor Xianfeng had just ascended the throne for 8 months. This is a heavy blow to the young Xianfeng Emperor who is only 18 years old. On March 29th, the third year of Xianfeng, the Taiping Army invaded Nanjing and changed Nanjing to Tianjin, which was the capital of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement lasted for 14 years, covering 18 provinces and almost half of China. Three years after the death of Emperor Xianfeng, the Great Uprising was suppressed. In other words, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was accompanied by the life of Emperor Xianfeng.

Foreign aggression refers to the second opium war against China planned and launched by Britain, France, Russia and the United States. 1856, the great powers launched the second opium war. Before this, the war was in the brewing stage, and then it gradually escalated. First attack Guangzhou, then Tianjin, then Beijing, forcing Emperor Xianfeng to flee to the Jehol in the north.

At home, a young emperor is armed to the teeth to cope with the largest and longest peasant uprising in China's history, as well as the invasion of the world's largest capitalist countries such as Britain, France, the United States and Russia. He felt weak and tired. It can be said that a young and weak emperor encountered a complicated and difficult situation.

Moreover, Emperor Xianfeng was a disappointing romantic. Faced with the changing situation, he could do nothing, so he began to pursue sensory enjoyment. When he first ascended the throne, he was youthful and wanted to do great things to save the unstable rule of the Qing Dynasty. Han Shishi said: "When you look at his initial administration, you will not think of revitalization and the future. A few years later, Chun 'an remained the same. "He has lived in the palace for a long time and stepped into politics, but he doesn't know much about the situation at home and abroad. Faced with the changing situation, he could do nothing, so he began to pursue sensory enjoyment.

He likes women. Including:

Yang's rebellion is getting worse. Soldiers all over the world are fighting. The Qing soldiers suffered repeated battles and defeats in the north, and they heard alarms every day. It's easy to turn a deaf ear to this and entertain yourself with feelings and voices. In his spare time, he takes his mistress to the amusement park.

The garden here refers to the Yuanmingyuan. Yuanmingyuan is a large royal garden, which has the functions of both a royal garden and a palace. It is 40 miles away from the Forbidden City. Since Yong Zhengdi, Yuanmingyuan has become the residence of the Qing emperors in the Spring and Autumn Period, namely the Summer Palace. The scenery in Yuanmingyuan is different, just like painting. And etiquette is simpler than the requirements of the Forbidden City. For comfort and convenience, the emperor is willing to live here. The former emperor entered the park in March and April, went to Mulan Autumn in Jehol in August, and then returned to the palace. Emperor Xianfeng is worse than his predecessor. He likes his garden very much. Just after the New Year, he went to the garden. After the Jehol Falls, I will return to the gardens and palaces in December. Or just stay in the garden instead of autumn. The reason is that the Forbidden City is strictly forbidden to enter, so you must abide by the ancestral system and don't indulge in debauchery. So Emperor Xianfeng promised to take care of his illness and spend time in the park.

Living in this garden for a long time, all Manchu women who wander around in front of his eyes are inevitably bored, so they can recognize elegant Han women. At first, the family laws of the Qing Dynasty were very strict. At the beginning of entry, the emperor shunzhi's mother, Zhuang Fei, was worried that she would be confused by women's skin color, because Fu Lin was not strong in the Spring and Autumn Period. Because there are two iron plates outside the palace gate, the book says, "Dare to bring a little girl into this gate." Little-footed women refer to Han women, because Manchu women do not bind their feet. However, there will be good and bad in the future, and the ancestral system may be broken.

There are not enough waitresses, and the left and right are very close. I'm afraid we can't wait for a few weeks. Nowadays, folk women are employed to patrol around the dormitory and do more services. Wenzong agreed. These dozens of women can only go in and out. There are three people around the straight bedroom every night. People are holding bells. In the evening, they are in the palace. Wenzong was called, so he was lucky. "。 The reason can be said to be grandiose, but it is to meet the needs of Xianfeng Emperor's psychopathy.

Later, Emperor Xianfeng selected more beautiful and moving women from dozens of young and beautiful Han women and numbered them. This is what people call the "four springs". "Literati fishing color, Yuanmingyuan corner, Tibetan spring scenery. This is the so-called four springs, passed down from generation to generation. " The four springs are Mudan Spring, Haitang Spring, Xinghua Spring and Datura Spring. They are all good women who have been forced into the palace. The name of "four springs" in banknote clearing is different: "There are five springs in the garden. The so-called spring of heaven and earth is the spring of Empress Dowager Cixi. " Its apricot blossom spring, Wuling spring, begonia spring and peony spring are all separated by Han women. Besides Siquan, Emperor Xianfeng also fell in love with the widow Cao. This widow in Shanxi is very beautiful, especially her little feet, which are less than three inches. Her shoes are also different. The soles are made of plant jade, lined with delicious bread crumbs, and the toe is decorated with dazzling pearls. After entering the palace, "Xianfeng Emperor is the closest".

Because of his close relationship with women, Emperor Xianfeng had to turn to the secret recipe. The top ten wild news recorded a story:

Ding Wencheng Hanlin Xianfeng Middle School, Guiyang, talked lightly about military affairs one day and was greatly rewarded. Yuanmingyuan is located on it. At dawn, Wen Cheng went to his room, waiting to make a phone call. At the beginning of June, it was very hot, and Fontaine was sitting alone in the hut, wearing a robe. Suddenly, I saw a small number in the corner of the room. There is a glass plate with a dozen cattails in it. Fat, not the same as usual, jade color as new. The soldier was stunned. At the beginning of June, the peaches outside are as strong as beans. It is safe to eat this fresh and ripe one. Fang was thirsty and tried to eat one. Sweet and fragrant, because he ate two or three more. In an instant, different symptoms appeared in my stomach, and I felt as hot as charcoal. Yangguan Road suddenly broke up, and Russia stood up and continued to walk, which was a huge blow. Gu was promoted to temple ambassador. It's been a long time since he first saw himself, and the second time was self-satisfaction. If there is no way, the servant will turn around with his stomach covered. The waiter can't help himself, but he can't stand up or lie on his back. Followers come down from the board, sleep on it sideways, and then go back to their friends' home in Haidian. So, the office secretary friend knew about the palace and asked about the hardships. Wencheng lives on the screen and whispers so much. The friend said, "This is the strongest medicine. Dozens of drugs are stored in this banned school. First, eunuchs can take them or suddenly become humane. When you come into contact with a woman, you will regain its original strength. It must have been stolen from prison, but it was not hidden and it was not convenient to eat by mistake. " Delayed the emergency and slept for more than ten days.

The gentle scholar finally became witty. He pretended to be ill, but he didn't expose his ugliness. But there is no doubt that this elixir was used by Emperor Xianfeng. Emperor Xianfeng has always been close to women, unrestrained and in poor health. Ask the doctor how to make him strong and give him symptomatic treatment. Someone suggested that he drink deer blood for aphrodisiac. Emperor Xianfeng raised 100 deer all his life and drank their blood every day. When he fled to the Jehol in the north, he wanted to take the deer away, but he couldn't because of the chaos.

Emperor Xianfeng is also an alcoholic. But when you are drunk, when you are drunk, you are drunk. "Literati drinking, every drunk will rage. In every anger, one or two maids will suffer, and even their relatives will be humiliated. Those who come back from the dead and repent after waking up will be pampered and rewarded to compensate for his pain. However, if you drink too much, you will have a relapse. " . Maybe he's depressed, drinking to drown his sorrows and vent his anger.

He has some artistic elements, likes going to the theater, sometimes works as a director, and even BLACKPINK will come on stage. Whether in the Forbidden City, Yuanmingyuan or Jehol Palace, he often plays. He personally directed the eunuchs' performances, taught plays such as Foreign History of Manchu Language and Trough, and also studied Ba La, Zhuxian Town, Qingshishan, Sanchakou, Peace and Happiness, Dream of Four Mountains and Asking for directions. For him, being an actor is better than being an emperor.

He also smokes opium. Shortly after he ascended the throne, he took opium. This kind of cigarette is called Yishou Ruyi Cream, also called Xia Zi Cream. The Taiping Army was invincible and occupied half of China. He "worked day and night and kept sending himself away." Looking for the Jehol in the north, the mountains are lost. He became more addicted, and the opium he smoked at this time was called "Fushou Cream".

Emperor Xianfeng is a reluctant romantic emperor. He loves women, eats drugs, drinks deer blood, drinks alcohol, likes watching movies, smokes opium, and leads an alcoholic life. He was in poor health and was injured while riding a horse. That is, "when I was a prince, I hunted in Nanyuan, galloped among beasts, fell off my horse and hurt my shares." . Because of the treatment of fractures in training institutions, life-long mobility is inconvenient. In the early years of Xianfeng, there was a proverb in Beijing: "Lame dragon disease, Feng is in court", which means "He is well ill." It can be seen that he is a "lame dragon" with limited movement. In addition, he is addicted to alcohol and color, so he is "sick and yellow-faced."

Looking at those declining emperors, I don't know when I will leave them. He's worried. Facing the cynicism of Emperor Xianfeng, the gentle Queen Niu Zhelu was helpless. Nora is an ambitious and scheming person. When she saw that the emperor was dying, she knew that there was nothing the queen could do. Then, you must rely on yourself.
