Chapter 458: The Secret History

Prince Chun Yihuan is the seventh son of Emperor Daoguang and the half-brother of Emperor Xianfeng. Speaking of which, Emperor Guangxu was able to ascend to the status of this father who was later posthumously named Prince Chun.

After Emperor Xianfeng died, Prince Chun cooperated with Cixi to launch the Xinyou coup, allowing Cixi to control the government and assist the then crown prince, who was later Emperor Tongzhi, to rule the country from behind the curtain.

Unfortunately, Emperor Tongzhi died of smallpox within two years of his administration, so Cixi appointed Prince Chun's son Zai Tian as the emperor, namely Emperor Guangxu.

Unlike Emperor Tongzhi, Emperor Guangxu was dissatisfied with the current situation of the country being invaded and bullied by foreign powers, and on the other hand, he was dissatisfied with Empress Dowager Cixi's unenterprising conservative rule, so he wanted to regain power from Empress Dowager Cixi, so the two began a fierce power competition.

In fact, just before Emperor Guangxu became older and the competition for power with Empress Dowager Cixi became increasingly fierce, Emperor Guangxu's father Prince Chun had already seen this sign and knew that this day would come sooner or later, and there was no way to avoid it.

In order not to let his son suffer the same fate as Emperor Tongzhi, Prince Chun had already secretly set up various means. One of the means was to find the famous Feng Shui master at that time, Mr. Li Tang, who personally chose a cemetery for him, that is, the Mingfayun Temple at that time. Now, the capital Haidian District is on the eastern foot of Miaogao Peak in Anhe Township. His cemetery has been built in advance. (There are typos, intentionally, please forgive me, some place names cannot be typed)

Because Yihuan was the seventh son of Emperor Daoguang, it is more commonly known as the Seven Kings Tomb.

In fact, the Seven Kings Tombs had already been selected and built when Guangxu ascended the throne and became the emperor. At that time, Prince Chun was hiding the secret of Empress Dowager Cixi, and asked the famous Master Li Tang to arrange the overall Feng Shui situation of "Emperor Dragon Qi" here after choosing the address of the cemetery for him. He hoped that he could bless his son, Emperor Guangxu, who would not be harmed by Empress Dowager Cixi in the future, and he would also be able to successfully take back the power of the government from Empress Dowager Cixi.

Although Master Li Tang was well versed in the art of geography, he was not fully confident in the overall Feng Shui situation. At the beginning, he did not dare to agree to Prince Chun's arrangement of the overall Feng Shui situation like "Emperor Dragon Qi". Fortunately, Master Li Tang discovered that there was a ginkgo tree that needed people to embrace, which was as high as 10 style_txt; dozens of feet tall, and then agreed to Prince Chun's request.

This ginkgo tree is not an ordinary ginkgo tree. Master Li Tang concluded that it will last at least a hundred years, which is just right for the eye of the "Emperor Dragon Qi".

Regarding this ginkgo tree, historical records have been recorded: "The old pine is about six meters high, and one ginkgo tree is about three meters and five feet high, with clear shade and acres of weight and weight. They are all hundreds of years old. The water source comes from stones, and stones are built around it, and more than a thousand fish are swimming. The clouds are full of vitality."

Therefore, Master Li Tang not only chose this place as the tomb for Prince Chun, but also used this ginkgo tree as the array eye to arrange the overall Feng Shui situation of "Emperor Dragon Qi" to facilitate Prince Chun's death to protect the prosperity of the royal family of Emperor Guangxu.

When Prince Chun died, Emperor Guangxu did grow up safely. However, the conflict with Empress Dowager Cixi became increasingly uncontrollable. Until the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, there could be said that there was a clear barrier between Emperor Guangxu and Empress Dowager Cixi. The gap became deeper and deeper, and it reached the point where no one could tolerate anyone.

At this time, it was not so easy for Empress Dowager Cixi to deal with Guangxu again. After all, Guangxu had been the emperor for so long. In the hearts of the people, the emperor was the real master of the country.

It was at this time that the young age who got Master Liao Yu's Liuren style plate in the early years stood out against this background.

With the help of the Liuren style plate, he successfully selected the auspicious day and auspicious day for the Summer Palace's longevity kitchen and the auspicious day and time for the Summer Palace's opening and drilling the mountain door barrel. It was because of these two things that he was named the Royal Feng Shui master.

But he was not willing to give up on that. In order to win the favor of Cixi, he worked tirelessly to use the Liuren style plate to discover the overall Feng Shui situation of the "Emperor Dragon Qi" arranged by Master Li Tang for Prince Chun Yihuan.

After receiving this letter, Yingnian was very happy. He thought he had seized the major opportunity to get promoted and make money, so he bribed Li Lianying, the eunuch general manager beside Empress Dowager Cixi, and advised Empress Dowager Cixi that the reason why Emperor Guangxu was like this was entirely because of the blessing of God and the protection of the Feng Shui situation, which was in the Seven Kings' Tomb.

Empress Dowager Cixi took Yingnian to visit Qiwang's tomb with half belief. On the Qiwang's tomb, Yingnian found the overall Feng Shui situation of the "Emperor Dragon Qi" based on the Liuren style plate, which is where the ginkgo tree is located.

Pointing at the ginkgo tree, he made a comment to Empress Dowager Cixi in his youth, saying that the ginkgo tree is a ginkgo tree, and there is a king buried under the tree, that is, Prince Chun. Under the word "white" is buried, it is the word "emperor". This is why Prince Chun's genealogy is constantly in the imperial spirit.

Empress Dowager Cixi could not bear it when she heard this. It turned out that the root cause of Emperor Guangxu's disobedience was, and immediately asked Ying Nian what to do.

The method given by Ying Nian is also very simple. Although the overall Feng Shui situation of the "Emperor Dragon Qi" arranged by Master Li Tang is exquisite, the eye of the formation is exposed. As long as the ginkgo tree is cut off, the overall Feng Shui situation of the "Emperor Dragon Qi" will be destroyed, and Emperor Guangxu will no longer have Feng Shui protection.

However, when Yingnian told Cixi about this, he was still careful. He only told Cixi that the Feng Shui shelter of Emperor Guangxu was, but did not say how to solve the overall Feng Shui situation.

Empress Dowager Cixi, who found the roots, was excited and didn't think too much about it. She immediately cut off the ginkgo tree.

It was just strange that when the eunuchs who were ordered to cut down the ginkgo tree, they raised their axes to cut the ginkgo tree. After cutting an axe, a white slurry flowed out from the mouth of the tree. As soon as the axe was pulled out, the hole grew again. This was repeated many times, but it was still the case. The eunuchs cut off for many days and no one could hurt the skin of the ginkgo tree.

For this reason, Cixi was so angry that she thought that these eunuchs were all from Emperor Guangxu, so she refused to deal with them and cut off the heads of several people. However, she later attracted many carpenters, and those carpenters were helpless, so they cut off the long and long.

When there was no choice, Cixi once again thought of the royal Feng Shui master Yingnian who first discovered this and made suggestions to her. After finding Yingnian again, Cixi not only promised countless money rewards, but also gave Yingnian several official titles in a row.

Seeing that his cemetery was reached, Ying Nian told Cixi all about how to solve the overall Feng Shui situation of the "Emperor Dragon Qi".

"Hey, if it weren't for this young man who flattered the emperor and cracked Prince Chun's Feng Shui situation, maybe Emperor Guangxu's reforms would not have failed, and there wouldn't be the word Hundred Days Reform in history."

When Sun He heard Wang Yang get here, he couldn't help but shake his head and sighed.

No matter what, Emperor Guangxu was still determined to make China rise again at that time, but Empress Dowager Cixi was stubborn and conservative. Under the current situation where the great powers were eyeing China, she still had to retreat and only wanted to protect the supreme power in her hands.

"What's the use of reform if the feudal system is not broken? The purpose of reform is to fight for power and profit. Even if Guangxu can really succeed, it will not change its final destiny!"

Wang Yang sighed heavily, Sun He was slightly stunned, and then nodded. Wang Yang was right. At that time, the Qing Dynasty was already rotten to the core. It was not just through reform to change. Just look at the late Ming Dynasty. Weapons, equipment and even technology were better than the Qing Dynasty, but they never used it, and they still lost in the end. (To be continued.)
