Personally, I think two people can be said to be more loyal to Cixi.
One is Rong Lu and the other is Cen Chunxuan.
Rong Lu
Rong Hong (1836- 1903) is a Chinese,no. Luyan, Guaerjia. Zhengbaiqi of Manchu was a minister and politician in Qing Dynasty. He was born into a family of generations of military officers. At the time of his birth, he and Yin were both ministers of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and later served as ministers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and became generals in An. Because of the love of Empress Dowager Cixi, he stayed in Beijing, and successively served as commander of infantry, minister of the Prime Minister's yamen, and minister of the Ministry of War. After the coup, he was wholeheartedly appreciated by Empress Dowager Cixi and Prince Gong. He was appointed minister in charge of the internal affairs office, joined the Prince Taibao, and transferred to the Wenhua Hall of the university. Twenty-nine years, died, given as a teacher, and became a first-class baron. There are Biographies of Wu, Collected Works of Rong Wenzhong and Tales of Rong Lu. His daughter Guaerjia Youlan was the biological mother of the last emperor Puyi and was adopted by Empress Dowager Cixi.
During the Reform Movement of 1898, Rong Lu was Yuan Shikai's boss. It is said that Yuan Shikai betrayed Guangxu and did not launch a military coup according to the emperor's wishes. However, whether Guangxu had the will of military coup is controversial, and Rong Lu's effective containment and deterrence to Yuan Shikai is the main reason why Yuan Baogong did not act rashly.
Yung Yung's early career can be said to be relatively smooth, rising to the highest level, and in middle age, he was suddenly demoted to Xi 'an as a general. The reason is not clear in historical records, but later he came back, and Rong Lu remained loyal to Cixi. I should say, a loyal general.
Cenchunxuan
The change of the boxer, the ceremony collapsed and the country was in turmoil. Cen Chunxuan took the lead in diligent king, which can be said to be very loyal.
Cen Chunxuan, 186 1 (Year of the Heart)-1933 (Year of Gui You), formerly known as Chunze, was born in Xilin County, Guangxi, and was one of the founders of Shanxi University Hall (now Shanxi University). Zhuang, son of Cen, Governor of Yunnan and Guizhou. 1900, when Eight-Nation Alliance invaded Beijing and Tianjin, Cen Chunxuan led the troops as a "diligent king" and became an important official in the late Qing Dynasty, competing with Yuan Shikai's forces, which was known as "Southern Cen and Northern Yuan" in history.
In the 26th year of Guangxu, Eight-Nation Alliance captured Beijing, and Cixi and Guangxu fled. Cen Chunxuan first led a diligent king, so she won the favor of Cixi. He won the governor of Shaanxi for his work and was later transferred to the governor of Shanxi. During this period, he and Timothy Richard and others established Shanxi University Hall. In the twenty-eighth year of Guangxu, he was transferred to Guangdong, but he didn't take office yet. Kui Jun, the governor of Sichuan, left because of the ineffective suppression of the Boxer Rebellion in Sichuan, and Cen Chunxuan went to Sichuan to act as the governor. During his tenure, he attached importance to the official system, established the police system, and impeached more than 40 officials in one fell swoop. He was nicknamed "Guan Tu", and he was also called "the three butchers in the late Qing Dynasty" with Zhang Zhidong, the "wealth butcher" and Yuan Shikai, the "human butcher".
In the twenty-ninth year of Guangxu, Cen was transferred to the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. 1904 petitioned for constitutionalism, 1905 petitioned Yuan Shikai, Zhang Zhidong and others to abolish the imperial examination. 1906, supported Zhang Jian and others to organize a preparatory constitutional meeting in Shanghai, and sent Zheng as the president, who immediately became the leader of the constitutional movement.
Cen Chunxuan
With the support of Empress Dowager Cixi, Cen was not afraid of dignitaries as their agents. He impeached and punished a large number of officials who bought officials, especially forced the Netherlands to extradite Pei Jingfu, and investigated the cases of Guangzhou Customs Department and Minister Zhou Rongyao in Belgium. However, it also offended Yi Kuang, the backstage supporter of these officials. Since then, Cen has joined hands with Qu, Minister of Military Aircraft, and started a party struggle with the Prince of Qing Dynasty and his henchmen Yuan Shikai.
In the thirty-second year of Guangxu, Cen was transferred to the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou and expelled from the power center on the grounds of coping with the civil strife in Yunnan. Censui refused to take office due to illness and stayed in Shanghai to watch the political situation. Soon, Yuan Shikai was defeated in the political conflict, and he invited himself to work part-time outside his job. Cen thought the time had come and refused to admit his illness. On May 3rd of Guangxu's thirty-third year (March 21st of the lunar calendar), he suddenly went to Beijing from Hankou to meet Cixi, and was awarded the post of Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications, so he was able to stay in Beijing. At that time, Cen and Qu had great momentum, but they implicitly had the intention of monopolizing state affairs.
But then he framed Cen, and the emissary forged a photo of Cen and Liang Qichao, saying that his intention was to reverse the case of the Reform Movement of 1898. Since then, things have gone from bad to worse. In April, Cen became the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi for the second time. When Cen passed by Shanghai, he did the same thing again, saying that he was ill and refused to take office. Unexpectedly, Cixi immediately ordered it to be vacant. At this point, the party struggle ended with the complete victory of Yi Kuang and Yuan Shikai. Competing with Yuan Shikai's forces, it was called "Southern Cen and Northern Yuan" in history. Cen Chunxuan has served as ambassador to Guangdong, ambassador to Gansu, governor of Shanxi, governor of Sichuan, governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, and governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. Wherever he went, he carried out the New Deal, carried out education and punished corruption. He was called the "official butcher" and the British called him the "Northeast Tiger". After the "Second Revolution", Cen Chunxuan followed the historical trend and participated in protecting the country, becoming the chairman of the military government and one of the founders of the Kuomintang during the Republic of China. When the headquarters of Guangdong and Guangxi were established, the soldiers elected Cen Chunxuan as the commander of the capital and Liang Qichao as the staff officer. Cen Chunxuan said in his inaugural declaration: "The supervisor of the world will not be entrusted by Guangdong and Guangxi, but only two words: Yuan Shikai lives, I die; Yuan Shikai is dead, but I have ears! " He called on everyone to "get rid of old enemies and be enemies with Zi" and concentrate on killing thieves together, which was the only banner against Yuan at that time. Cen Chunxuan, the founder of Guangxi, actively rescued Chen Duxiu, the leader of the Communist Party of China, and explicitly opposed Chiang Kai-shek's dictatorship: "If you don't change your course, it will be enough to destroy the country." Cen believes that "educators are the first to govern". As an official, he must promote education, especially in Guangdong and Guangxi. He laid an important foundation for modern education in Guangdong and Guangxi. 1932, cen supported the 19th Route Army in the Sino-Japanese War with 30,000 silver dollars. He is the author of "Le Zhai Man Bi" and co-edited the famous piano music "Mountain and Sea Lingyun" with Han Taichu, the director of Laoshan Taiqing Palace.
