Does Cixi, who spent military money on her birthday, really know nothing about governing the country?

When it comes to Cixi, people's first impression must be that she is ignorant. Many historical classics and film and television dramas also describe Cixi as a person who only knows how to eat, drink and be merry. All she does every day is dress up and attend parties. But a careful study of Cixi's life will reveal that Cixi is not without its merits. She is very good at playing politics. During her reign, the whole court was firmly in her hands. However, although Cixi knows how to master the right to speak, she does not know how to govern the country, and she has no opinion on governing the country.

After the death of Emperor Xianfeng, Cixi gradually controlled the power of the whole country through means. Cixi was able to obtain such power so smoothly, mainly because she had the support of Prince Gong, but before long, she expelled Prince Gong from the core of power. It can be seen that Cixi's means of playing politics is superb. Since then, Cixi has completely controlled the state power, but it was also from this time that she began to stop asking about state affairs and indulge in pleasure all day. All the expenses of Cixi came from the state treasury.

The most shocking thing is that almost all the Japanese have arrived home, and Cixi has to deduct some military expenses to celebrate her birthday. It is precisely because of her move that countless people died on the battlefield, but because of Cixi's high-handed policy, no one dared to speak. Cixi used her power to dominate the country, but she was obedient to Nuo Nuo in foreign affairs. As long as foreigners make the slightest move, she will be terrified, which also shows that Cixi has no idea in governing the country and will only mess around.

When the marked army invaded Beijing, Cixi fled to Shaanxi without saying anything. During this period, Cixi still failed to wake up and maintained her original extravagant style. At this time, it coincided with the drought in Shaanxi, and the people could not even solve their own food and clothing, but also took out good wine and good dishes to serve Cixi. From these things, we can see that Cixi is a woman who only knows? Fighting in a hole? Some people, playing their own games, are very powerful, and they are helpless when they encounter troubles.
