In the age when women have no right to speak, how can Cixi be uncompromising?

Empress Dowager Cixi was actually the supreme ruler in the late Qing Dynasty. Although the emperor ruled, the emperor only ruled on the surface. Then many people will ask, at that time, the woman had no right to speak. Why could Cixi not compromise and no one refuted it?

We all know that Empress Dowager Cixi has great control over power, but no one will obey a woman's command at will, but there is nothing we can do. When the emperor was too weak to refute Empress Dowager Cixi, he put Empress Dowager Cixi in power.

Empress Dowager Cixi actually represents feudal conservatives. She is the biggest backer of those conservative officials, so she has a group of people who support her. For those conservatives, although Empress Dowager Cixi is a woman, since it is beneficial to her own interests, the greater the power of Empress Dowager Cixi, the better.

So why is there no official rebuttal? This is because at that time, under that condition, the system of the Qing Dynasty was so corrupt that it was impossible to overthrow Empress Dowager Cixi directly with the ability of only a few people, so all the grievances could only be kept in my heart, not to mention Empress Dowager Cixi was highly effective. If she knew, she would try to get rid of this person. For the safety of their families, they dare not do so. And perhaps even if Empress Dowager Cixi doesn't do this, her conservative supporters will target them.

Moreover, the state thought at that time was very feudal, and there was basically no reform spirit.

Therefore, although women did not have the right to speak at that time, Empress Dowager Cixi mastered the right to speak because of a series of factors such as ideas.
