Cixi imprisoned Guangxu in Yingtai for a long time. Why did Guangxu never want to resist?

There are many reasons why Emperor Guangxu did not dare to resist Cixi, mainly because of his inner fear, his inability to overthrow Cixi's rule and his fear of killing Cixi, which led to even worse consequences. Let me talk about these reasons in detail.

The first reason: inner cowardice, left a psychological shadow by Cixi since childhood.

Emperor Guangxu was timid because Cixi was interested in his passive Nuo Nuo. Moreover, Emperor Guangxu was elected as the emperor by Cixi since childhood, so he lived under the strict discipline of Cixi since childhood, even to the point where Cixi told him to go east and he would not go west. So let alone let the cowardly Guangxu emperor kill Cixi, even if he growled at Cixi, it is estimated that he could not do it.

The second reason: Emperor Guangxu was unable to eradicate Cixi.

We should know that at the end of the Qing Dynasty, Cixi was basically in charge of state affairs, and all the ministers who held military power and political power were trusted by Cixi. These people are staunch members of the post-Party. After Guangxu was placed under house arrest and the six gentlemen of the Reform Movement of 1898 died generously, all the members of the Emperor Guangxu died and dispersed. Nothing in their hands can threaten the power of Cixi except the power of honest public opinion. Besides, Emperor Guangxu was already under house arrest. Even if he wanted to contact his cronies to kill Cixi, there was no chance. At that time, he was surrounded by people from Cixi. If he wants to contact the outside world, he must contact them through these people. Eight of these people are from Cixi, and even the other two dare not disobey Cixi's orders. Moreover, in this case, Cixi had to die as she wished. According to later declassification, it was found that Emperor Guangxu was poisoned by arsenic.

The third reason: Cixi dominated the political affairs. Once she killed the chaos in the political affairs, the demise of the Qing Dynasty might be faster.

What we need to know is that Cixi took over state affairs at that time, and all military and political affairs were decided by herself. At that time, the southern governors were basically in a semi-independent state, and the situation was stabilized by Cixi's political skills. But when Cixi died, these southern governors had nothing to worry about, and most of the ministers in the DPRK were members of the post-Party. Once Empress Dowager Cixi dies, how these members deal with themselves, how to deal with them, and who will handle state affairs once they are disposed of. So Cixi can't die.
