Cixi favor of the scholar, the whole family's end why will be so miserable?

Ten years of cold window no one asked, a move to fame in the world know.

In the eyes of the ancients, examination undoubtedly occupies an important position, readers if you can win the gold list, it opens a brilliant life.

However, sometimes the achievements of the imperial examinations cannot represent the success or failure of life.

The Qing Dynasty scholar Chong Qi has a story full of sadness. Let's take a look at the life of this scholar scholar.

One, the flag person scholar

Chong Qi's family, originally is also quite prestigious Manchu Qing dynasty noble family.

Chongqi's father, was once the military minister Saishang A, and Chongqi's wife, is the daughter of Prince Zheng Duanhua.

Unfortunately, Sai Shang'a was executed by Xianfeng for his failure to fight the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which turned Chongqi's life upside down.

Though Chongqi's family was in decline, it was still a typical ancient patriarchal family. This made the Chongqi family attach great importance to honor and integrity.

The family decided to seize the opportunity to honor their ancestors through the imperial examination.

In 1864 A.D., Chongqi broke the tradition of the Manchu Qing Dynasty that "the flag does not have a scholar" and became the only scholar of the Qing Dynasty who was a member of the flag.

Fortune is a curse, the high school scholar is the blessing of Chongqi, but also the origin of Chongqi's misfortune.

With the identity of the scholar, chongqi obtained the duty of the minister, and then chongqi's daughter and because of the great aura of the scholar's family, successfully selected as the empress of the Tongzhi, which is Zhe Yi Empress Alute's. The empress was the only one in the Qing dynasty who was a scholar, and she was the only one who was a scholar.

Two, the queen martyred

Aruthe's become empress only to realize that life is far from beautiful in the imagination.

Aluthanasia will not please her mother-in-law Cixi, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law conflicts deeper and deeper, just at this time, the Tongzhi Emperor died.

The loss of her son, Cixi put all the blame on the Alouette's body, she scolded the Alouette's life killed Tongzhi, but also took Guangxu into the palace, clearly refused to give Tongzhi heir.

Guangxu is Tongzhi's brother of the same generation, and as Xianfeng's heir to the palace.

Aloute's as a widowed sister-in-law, stay in the palace is very embarrassing, which makes Aloute's from childhood to receive the education of women's modesty, gradually lost the courage to face the future of life.

Despairing, Aruthe sought out Chongqi to discuss the matter.

While she was in a state of despair, Chongqi advised her daughter to kill herself, and suggested that the best way to do so would be to choose the right way to die.

Aroute, who had been an obedient girl since childhood, went on a hunger strike after listening to Chongqi's words, preserving the whole family.

A person's life, originally should not be because of the words of loved ones and wantonly deprived.

Three, the whole family martyred to death

After the death of Alouette's, Chongqi gradually got Cixi's reuse, successively served as vice president, the Ministry of Ministers, Shengjing generals and other positions, ushered in the cause of a great splendor.

Unfortunately, this official fortune will be the origin of another tragedy of Chongqi's life.

In 1900, the Gengzi Incident broke out. Cixi with Emperor Guangxu hasty escape, leaving Chongqi and Ronglu with the Emperor's imperial chariot south of Baoding, trying to create a false impression of Guangxu's escape, thus leading away from the pursuers.

Which, the invaders are not interested in this blindfold, is the city of Beijing crazy killing ministers who have supported the Boxer Rebellion family, Chongqi is the support of the Boxer Rebellion of people.

So, his wife stayed in the capital in order to avoid the humiliation of being captured, they dug a big pit in the home in advance, and then the whole family in accordance with the order of Zhaomu, respectively, into the pit, and then ordered the servants to fill in the earth to bury.

The servants refused to do so, so Chongqi's son set fire to the window pane himself, and the whole family sat quietly, waiting for death to come.

Perhaps the death of Chongqi's family is too tragic, and even has always been as gold as ink, "the Qing Records" have left such a record:

"First in the capital when the fall, the pre-digging of a deep pit, the rate of the son of the Minister of loose rank Baochu and the grandson of the Foreign Minister Lian Ding, pen-postcard Lian Rong, Lian Mie, the supervisor of the Lianhong, men and women into the pit Dizhi, the whole family died."

The news of the death of the whole family to Baoding, Chongqi is like a thunderbolt, by this blow, Chongqi hanged himself that night in the Lianchi Academy.

So far, the legendary life of the banner scholar, finally drew a bloody end.
