When Empress Dowager Cixi fled to Shanxi, she killed a county grandfather for a meal. What happened?

This is the case. At that time, Empress Dowager Cixi, Emperor Guangxu, and ministers of the dynasty fled Beijing, mainly because they were often occupied by Eight-Nation Alliance, and had to flee to Shanxi to escape. For emperors, princes and even Cixi, this kind of escape has an impact on their lives.

I didn't bring enough food because I was in a hurry to escape. Empress Dowager Cixi was hungry for two whole days on the road and went to Tianzhen County, Shanxi Province. At that time, the magistrate of a county prepared rich food for the emperor and the empress dowager. After Empress Dowager Cixi arrived in Xuanhua County, she had a good time because she didn't go out and thought this place was more fun. I lived in Xuanhua County for a week before I arrived in Tianzhen County.

Due to the late arrival of Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu, the food prepared by Tianzhen county magistrate was earlier and the food rotted. The main reason was that the weather was hot and it was impossible to prepare food again, because there were wars everywhere at that time. At that time, the officials in charge of Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu heard that the food prepared by the magistrate was rotten and asked him to make new preparations.

Tianzhen county magistrate, because he felt that the task could not be completed, was scolded by this man again. He couldn't stand it psychologically, worried that the queen mother would reset her family, and went home that night to drink medicine and committed suicide. So it is said that Empress Dowager Cixi forced a county grandfather to death.

As can be seen from the above, Empress Dowager Cixi's governance of the Qing Dynasty is very improper. In the war-torn environment at that time, there were still new games that did not show sympathy for the people's feelings, so there were reasons for the demise of the Qing Dynasty.
