Where is the 800 million-worth pearl that Cixi took away before she died?

As we all know, Cixi is one of the few women who have been in power for a long time in the imperial era of our country. At present, the evaluation of Cixi is mixed. Some people who support Cixi think that Cixi's political means are extremely capable, especially in manipulating the balance of power between pro-expensive courtiers. Cixi gained her absolute authority when she was in office, and even the Qing Dynasty was able to prolong her life for ten years because of Cixi. Opponents of Cixi said that the way Cixi seized power from the court struggle was cruel. Cixi is a famous "rich woman" in the history of China. She put people in dire straits and devoted herself to building her own mausoleum. After her death, her cemetery was also quite luxurious. The pearls in her mouth are very precious. Now it should be valued at 800 million yuan. However, this pearl is not in China now.

It is said that money is a thing outside the body, and life does not bring death, but Cixi is different. There are countless gold, silver and jewels in her mausoleum. It seems that her desire for money is not generally strong.

It is said that the most precious funerary object in Cixi's coffin belongs to the Nine Linglong Pagoda carved by white jade, which is said to be a "smoke stream". Legend has it that there are four jadeite watermelons in Cixi's coffin, two with white skin and yellow seeds and two with green skin and white seeds, which are worth 6 million taels of silver. It is reported that the treasures stolen from Cixi Mausoleum were either used for bribery by Sun Dianying and others, or sold, destroyed or even smuggled out of the country, and most of them are still missing. It is said that in order to escape guilt, Sun Dianying once gave Song Meiling the Pearl of the Night, which Cixi called. There is a jade cabbage in the National Palace Museum in Taipei, which is the treasure of its town hall and probably the lost property of Cixi Mausoleum. But with the passage of time, no one can tell where these stolen treasures went. After many inquiries, it was decided to excavate the tomb of Cixi during the Qianlong period (1928). Sun Dianying, commander of the National Revolutionary Army 12 Army stationed near Qingling in Zunhua, Hebei Province, sent his teacher Tan Wenjiang to inquire about the situation with the idea of Dongling. Tan Wenjiang learned from a eunuch who had served Cixi that there were a lot of rare treasures buried in the tomb of Cixi in Ding Dong Mausoleum.

In the mausoleum of Cixi, there are huge treasures buried, and the most valuable treasure is the night pearl!

What kind of treasure is the night pearl buried with Empress Dowager Cixi? According to records, the luminous pearl buried in the mouth of Empress Dowager Cixi is an approximate spherical original stone, weighing 422 minutes and 7 centimetres in Qing Dynasty, equivalent to 787.28 carats now. Its evaluation value in 1908 was10.8 million taels of silver, which is equivalent to 8 1 100 million yuan now. So where is this priceless night pearl now?

At that time, after Sun Dianying dug the grave, it caused an uproar in domestic public opinion, so he gave the night pearl to Song Meiling. Later, when Song Meiling went to the United States to attract foreign aid, he tied the Pearl of the Night on his shoes, which opened the eyes of Americans. I don't know where to go after that.

Sun Dianying's theft of Empress Dowager Cixi's mausoleum subsided, and Sun Dianying was not punished. Instead, he was promoted to chairman of Anhui Province and commander of the Fifth Army. As for the luminous pearl for Song Meiling, Song Meiling actually used this rare treasure as a shoe ornament. It is said that this luminous pearl was later bought by American tycoon Rockefeller and exhibited in his family museum. No one knows where this night pearl is now!
