When Cixi's coffin was opened, why did the grave robbers retreat hastily?

As we all know, Empress Dowager Cixi was actually the real ruler in the late Qing Dynasty, holding the power of state affairs. Her own life is extremely luxurious. She was born in a rich family. She likes some jewelry, and she also likes some very luxurious gold and silver jewelry.

When Empress Dowager Cixi died, the things buried with her were extremely luxurious. According to the incomplete statistics of archaeologists, the value of the objects buried with Empress Dowager Cixi is about RMB 8 1 100 million.

But at the end of the Qing Dynasty, the tomb of Empress Dowager Cixi was stolen and the entrance was directly blasted. Grave robbers went in and looted everything inside. When the coffin was finally opened, people were shocked. Cixi's face is still the same as before, and the jewels in the coffin are dazzling.

Everyone who went in was afraid and thought they had met a monster. They were very scared and rushed back. But people die for money, which is very correct. People who are not afraid of death have moved everything around Empress Dowager Cixi and the clothes she is wearing. After moving these clothes, I saw the body of Empress Dowager Cixi, which was directly corrupt. This change makes people around you more afraid and shrink back.

In fact, we all know that these emperors, or those in power, do not want their bodies to rot after death, and they will deal with them in some ways. However, these treatments can only ensure that the body will not be exposed to air and will not rot. After the grave robbers pushed open the coffin, the body had a chemical reaction with the air source, which could not guarantee that the body would not rot, so the body would change in a short time. This is what the officers and men saw. The body of Empress Dowager Cixi, who just opened the coffin, was lifelike and soon became corrupt.
