As the person who held the supreme position for many years in the Qing dynasty, she did many myths, killed sentient beings, changed the direction of development and caused the dynasty to gradually perish.
Until her death, because to satisfy her personal aspirations, she continued to torment the poor people, forcing 100 children under 10 years old to die with her in the grave. The emperors of the ancient feudal period paid great attention to the post-mortem. Therefore, when excavating tombs, people often find countless gold and silver treasures buried with the bodies of kings.
Empress Dowager Cixi was no exception, she prepared her grave very early. The mausoleum was built magnificently, the secret organs were identical, and thousands of thousands of precious and luxurious items were stored for burial.
