Cixi was the actual ruler of the late Qing Dynasty. Although she did not usurp the throne as a queen, she exercised the power of the queen and dominated everything in the world.

1894 it was an eventful autumn, and Japan provoked the Sino-Japanese War of 1894, which attracted a lot of smoke. This year, on the 10th day of the 10th lunar month, Cixi celebrated her 60th birthday. In order to celebrate Cixi's 60th birthday, the imperial court prepared to spend 30 million taels of silver to celebrate her birthday, of which part of the naval military expenditure was misappropriated.

On Cixi's 60th birthday, "sycophantic" officials went to Beijing to give gifts. There are countless pearls, agates, jade and jadeite, and Cixi certainly accepted everything. It's just that these treasures are precious, but she has long been used to it, so there is no surprise.

However, when her personal eunuch Li gave her a birthday present, Cixi immediately smiled and was full of praise.

Li sent two big gifts.

The first gift is: release the caged birds. At first glance, this is nothing strange. Under Li's command, dozens of birdcages were released at the same time. However, shortly after the bird flew out, a magical scene appeared. They didn't fly far before they miraculously flew back and flew into the birdcage accurately.

When everyone was shocked, Li knelt down and said, "Lafayette, it's called a hundred birds pay homage to the phoenix. They thank you for your release and fly back to celebrate your birthday! "

Cixi was naturally very happy and praised him.

Then, I gave Cixi a second gift. He led Cixi to the pond, but saw dozens of barrels of golden carp pouring into the pond at the same time under the command of Li. However, when the fish entered the pond, the miracle happened again, but the fish miraculously gathered by the pond for a while. When everyone was shocked, Li knelt on the ground again and said, "Galeries Lafayette, this is called fish and water. These fish appreciate your release and come back to celebrate your birthday! " !

After hearing this, Cixi gave be in heaven a gift to Li. To this end, Cixi broke the rules set by her ancestors and named Li as a second-class woman with flower feathers, so that Li was in power.

Birds don't leave the cage, but fish swim back? What the hell is going on here?

First, let's see if the birds are out. These birds have been kept in cages since they hatched. Li puts the birdcage in a crowded yard every day, and he is fed full every time. After a long time, birds in cages are not afraid of people. After opening the cage door, the birds don't fly away, just like the cage has become their home.

Secondly, you must swim back when you see the fish. It turned out that Li raised hundreds of small fry in his own fish pond, and it was stipulated that a dozen eunuchs should walk around the fish pond for at least two hours every day. The most important thing is that I will take a group of people to the shore to feed the fish at about two o'clock every afternoon. In this way, a few months later, these fish grew up and were not afraid of people. When they saw people, they swam to the shore and stuttered.

Li deserves to be a person who has followed Cixi for decades. He knows the temperament of Cixi like the back of his hand, and he knows where the interests of Cixi lie. So he racked his brains and tried his best to evolve a magical "drama" on Cixi's birthday, which made Cixi very happy to witness the miracle. Finally, he jumped from a four-product top-wearing flower feather to a two-product top-wearing flower feather, and wrote the most official position in the Qing Dynasty.
