Powerful but powerless to let the mistress go

In Chinese history, Empress Dowager Cixi was famous for being tough, steely, cruel, and “free-spirited”. After Emperor Ham Phong died, Cixi let go of the regency curtain, holding the destiny of Jiangshan in her hands. During the years of ruling the country, Cixi used to be affluent with many men, but there was only one person who made the empress dowager remember inconsolably for the rest of her life.

The meeting made the queen’s heart sob

In the spring of 1888, Cixi walked as usual in Ngu Hoa Vien to admire the scenery and enjoy flowers. King Quang Tu every day according to the habit of coming here to ask for the queen’s peace. At that time, always walking next to Quang Tu was bodyguard Nar To with a handsome face and a dignified demeanor that attracted the attention of Tu Hi. The identity of Nar To is also not trivial, he is the grandson of the famous and prominent middle prince, Tang Cach Lam Tham.

Although standing at the peak of power, Empress Dowager Cixi lost the happiness of an ordinary woman. This meeting with the bodyguard Narto was like a fresh water crept into the empress dowager’s long arid heart. At that time, 53-year-old Cixi fell in love with this energetic young bodyguard.

Empress Dowager Cixi at that time had both taste and position in her hand. Two people with different identities and ages quickly fell in love. Because in order to have a chance to meet, Tu Hi promoted Narsu to a great god and found all sorts of ways to help his lover freely go in and out of the palace. The reasons that Cixi gave as an excuse was that Beijing was in a drought, needed to send Narsu into the palace to pray for rain, and when it rained, he asked to stay to do the thanksgiving ceremony.

However, there were not many public affairs that needed to be passed on, so the eunuch close to Empress Dowager Ly Lien Anh helped her think of a way. The Empress Dowager ordered that the water in Ngoc Tuyen Mountain should be used every day to nourish the body. Every evening, Ly Lien Anh would bring a few eunuchs to bring water to Tu Xi’s palace. There are two large water tanks in total and one of them is where Narsu hides in order to meet Empress Dowager Cixi.

The incident was revealed, lover commit suicide with gold

Although each day was cleverly arranged by eunuch Ly Lien Anh, over time the paper could not wrap the fire. Rumors gradually spread in the palace, even Narto’s father heard about this, seeing that his son did not return home for a long time, so he had doubts in his heart. On one occasion when there was a government meeting with Cixi in the night, he saw his son and the empress dowager sitting together. He thought that the relationship of the two would later be a great disaster for the family, so Narto’s father quietly resolved it.

In early 1900, his father asked Cixi to let Narsu take a three-month leave of absence, and at the same time returned with his son to his hometown to worship his ancestors. For good reason, Empress Dowager Cixi was unable to refuse. After returning to his hometown, Nar To was forced to commit suicide by his father for the safety of the whole family.

In front of the grave of his ancestors, Naruto personally tore off the chain of bracelets given by Empress Dowager Cixi. Half of it was thrown towards Beijing, the other half was used to commit suicide. Cixi, after hearing this news, was deeply saddened, and subsequently bestowed the title of prince on Narsu. Not long after, Narsu’s father also died mysteriously, there were many rumors that it was poisoned by Empress Dowager Cixi.

Stealth love story Although this story of the empress dowager and the young guard is not recorded by the official history, it is recorded in the “Documents of Inner Mongolian History” and “Documents of the History of An Khang District”. Furthermore, in the book “Thanh Duc Tong Thuc Luc” it is also recorded that Empress Dowager Cixi did indeed appoint Narrsu as a prince, which is extremely rare in the Qing Dynasty and not in accordance with the rules.

When Nar To was alive, he did not make any outstanding achievements, just a great god, but after losing the favor of the empress dowager, many people expressed doubts. Perhaps because she knew that she was doing this, it was somewhat unreasonable, so in the posthumous edict, Empress Dowager Cixi wrote “The queen is unable to do so because of the exception”, that is, future descendants are not allowed to do this. so. Through this, it can be said that Narr To is the only man who makes Tu Hi miss and adore him.
