The death of Emperor Guangxu is a mystery. Since 2003, leaders and experts from CCTV, Qingxi Mausoleum Cultural Relics Management Office, China Institute of Atomic Energy, Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau Forensic Examination and Identification Center and other units have formed a mystery. Established a special research group on "The Cause of Death of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty". November 14, 2008 was the 100th anniversary of the death of Emperor Guangxu. At this time, the "cause of Guangxu's death" was confirmed to be acute gastrointestinal arsenic poisoning. However, further research and demonstration are needed as to the murderer who poisoned Guangxu. Many historians believe that she was poisoned by Cixi before she died. There is only one reason. She did not want to be settled by Emperor Guangxu after her death. She also wanted to maintain her dignity and status, so she wanted to drag the emperor to die with her. It is in line with the character of Cixi Lafayette, but there is no direct evidence or official statement so far.
The young Guangxu, who was under house arrest by Cixi for eight years, actually died before the 74-year-old Cixi (the Empress Dowager Cixi and the Emperor Guangxu died only 20 hours apart). For more than a hundred years, Guangxu has been mentioned After his death, many people always have an intuitive impression: Cixi killed Guangxu. If you insist on saying that he died of "depression" or "depression", then he had enough time to die of depression in the past eight years. Why did he rush to this time to go on the road with an old lady? Could it be that he had something to say on the road.
Some manuscripts about the death of Emperor Guangxu:
1. According to the "Secret Notes on Diagnosis and Treatment of Emperor Guangxu" written by the famous doctor Qu Guiting, Guangxu "rolled around in bed" three days before his death. , 'screaming about severe stomach pain', and 'face dark, tongue burnt yellow', 'this relationship has little to do with previous illnesses'. Second, on the day Guangxu died, strange things happened in the Forbidden City. The book "Qigong Oral History" records that on that day Pu Liang (Qigong's great-grandfather), the Minister of Rites, was waiting outside the Queen Mother's residence and saw a eunuch carrying a gaiwan coming out of Leshou Hall. Pu Liang asked the eunuch what he was serving, and the eunuch replied: "It's the yogurt that Lafayette gave to Lord Long Live." ’ Shortly after the delivery, the eunuch Xiaode Zhang (Zhang Lande) announced to the main hall of the Taiyuan Hospital that Emperor Guangxu had passed away. ?Third, after Guangxu's death, the eunuchs in the palace took care of the dressing and burial, contrary to the norm, without involving the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The body was quietly moved into the palace, and no one knows what it looked like when it was buried..."
Fourth, Cixi was very clear in her mind before she died. This "History of the Qing Dynasty" It is recorded in the "Manuscript" and "Record of Cixi's Death of Guangxu". When Cixi arranged for Puyi to enter the palace, she knew that it was impossible for Guangxu to come back because she had already decided to kill Guangxu. So Cixi poisoned Guangxu. She may have made it while in a state of confusion. Poisoning Guangxu was a decision she made after careful consideration.
