Empress Dowager Cixi is the Empress Dowager of the Qing Dynasty, so it is natural to have a grand birthday. It is said that she spent 30 million taels of silver and part of the navy's military expenses. From 65438 to 0894, when we studied history, we all knew that the Sino-Japanese War broke out that year, just before the birthday of Empress Dowager Cixi. At that time, in order to fight against foreign enemies, Empress Dowager Cixi was advised not to be extravagant, but she was very unhappy about it. She also said that whoever makes her unhappy, I will make him unhappy for life.
In order to please Empress Dowager Cixi, some ministers took great pains. We know that Empress Dowager Cixi is also called Lafayette. This is because she believes in Buddhism. In order to please her, Li suggested that Empress Dowager Cixi release her blessing on her birthday. Empress Dowager Cixi certainly agreed to this arrangement. In fact, she didn't know that Li was showing his birthday present to Cixi.
In order to be different, Li raised many birds in advance. These birds lived in cages when they were born, and they were only released occasionally a few days before Empress Dowager Cixi's birthday. However, they can't fly at all, they all fall from the air, and they can't fly when they are released. The fish used for release is Li who asked people to draw water at the lake to raise fish. The fish adapted to the water temperature of the lake, but the water in the center of the lake was very cold, so after releasing the fish, it was found that the water in the center of the lake cooled down and came back, which staged the phenomenon that the charitable birds and fish of Empress Dowager Cixi did not want to leave.
