Is it true that Cixi's body stinks on the day of the funeral after waiting for a year to be buried?

Cixi's body was indeed stored for a year, but her coffin was made of golden nanmu. The reason why it stinks is that some foods in her funerary objects are not properly preserved, and the feces produced by the horses buried with her will be like this.

Although Cixi was the Empress Dowager Cixi, she was actually in power in the late Qing Dynasty. She listened to politics for many years, and she was the only emperor? Chess pieces? But she didn't do anything politically, just enjoyed life blindly, so her life can be said to be very luxurious.

At that time, the national treasury was in short supply and the national strength was weak. Despite the opposition of ministers, the Qing government still built the Yuanmingyuan. On his birthday, he spent more than 200,000 gold to buy clothes for himself, not counting the cost of jewelry, but just the tip of the iceberg. A meal needs to be cooked 100 dishes, and even the bricks of the mausoleum will be covered with gold.

Why should she be buried for a year after her death? It's not the so-called revenge on her, but the items that Cixi wants to be buried with are too huge and too many. Some of them are still in the process of production. Her mausoleum has not been built yet, and she has to choose an auspicious day to be buried after her death, so the first wait is one year.

Why does the road stink? It's not because the body is rotten and stinky, because her coffin is made of gold nanmu, and the body has been specially treated, so it doesn't stink. In fact, it is because there are too many funerary objects for Cixi, and a lot of carriage rights and horses are needed to carry them. One horse produces too much feces, and the feces of these livestock make the road stink all the way.

Note that the time of Cixi's death is 165438+ 10/5. It was already very cold in Beijing at this time, so the body was well preserved. According to historical records, after the death of Cixi, the eunuch in charge of ceremonies carried her body out of a Luan Hall in a special sedan chair and placed it in the Imperial Palace.

The next morning, under the auspices of Yulong, the head of the harem at that time, the well-dressed body of Empress Dowager Cixi was placed in a scripture coffin painted with 49 layers of paint, and then sealed (this sealing state is very good, almost perfect, which can isolate the air). Finally, it was placed in an outer coffin. According to common sense, Cixi's coffin was finally placed in a temporary underground parking place, because Cixi stayed in the underground palace of Qing Dongling in Hebei.

Cixi's coffin was put underground by a special person and stored in the freezer. It can be said that the body of Cixi is not corrupt at all, and it is as lifelike as when Sun Dianying robbed the tomb.
