Empress Dowager Cixi's hold on the dynasty indirectly affected the progress of the country, what did the conservatives led by her do?

After the death of the Tongzhi Emperor, because the Tongzhi Emperor did not have any offspring, so under the auspices of Empress Dowager Cixi, Guangxu was chosen to be the emperor. After the Guangxu Emperor came to power, as he slowly grew up, as gradually understand the government, he for the Empress Dowager Cixi for their own hostage is very dissatisfied, because the Empress Dowager Cixi has been curtain, in fact, the Guangxu Emperor is just a set up.

The Guangxu Emperor can be said to be a benevolent and peaceful ruler, for the Empress Dowager Cixi is also extraordinarily obedient and filial piety, but always he is the emperor, for all things he can not make the main, which all makes him incredibly angry. After the pro-government, there is Kang Youwei, Liang Qichao and other bus petition, Guangxu Emperor in the face of internal and external problems of the Qing Dynasty is also determined not to do the king of the country, and strive to be strong to do for the monarch, so see the Kang Youwei and other petition very happy, and then determined to implement the New Deal reforms.

But he forgot that there is the Empress Dowager Cixi, his pro-government is not the Empress Dowager Cixi let go of him, but another kind of surveillance is just, this time the new faction of the old faction of the cake, the old faction still hold the military power, they also have the Empress Dowager Cixi, so the last Hundred Days of Reform, the change of the law failed, Tam Yau-wai and other people were killed, Kang Youwei, Liang Qichao fled the country. Emperor Guangxu has since been secluded, secluded in the Summer Palace, in short, Empress Dowager Cixi to where, will bring him to where, it can be said that Guangxu did not have a bit of freedom in life, and even around the eunuchs are but the eyes and ears of Empress Dowager Cixi, closely monitoring him, what to eat all the meals have to be Empress Dowager Cixi to stare at, not to mention Empress Dowager Cixi will be Guangxu's most favored consort Zhenfei to put into the well.

So when Empress Dowager Cixi died, she was already old, but Emperor Guangxu was still young, so Empress Dowager Cixi also died the next day after poisoning Emperor Guangxu.

It was because Empress Dowager Cixi knew how vicious she was to Emperor Guangxu that she was afraid that after her death, Emperor Guangxu would deal with her people and everything about her.

Cixi? grew up? s path, it can initially be said that either opponent was more powerful than her, whether it was Empress Dowager Ci'an or Prince Gong, neither of which she was able to deal with.

But she was able to hold back and wait for the opportunity, good use of the contradictions between the parties to obtain benefits from it, to do step by step growth, and eventually became the most powerful people in the Qing dynasty.

Even if the Emperor Guangxu is pro-government, but still not all the transfer of power, she knows that the power only firmly in their own hands, the most secure.

It is also in this case, only to make Cixi can be in the late Qing Dynasty when the reigning emperor, after the death of Emperor Xianfeng, the remaining emperors are like puppets.
