Guangxu Emperor In The Political Turmoil Of 1900

The failure of Reform Movement in 1998 in fact announced the end of Guangxu's political life. Because of Guangxu Emperor's symbol of imperial power, Empress Dowager Cixi had a mind to replace him , but hard to make it into reality. "Reservoir construction" couldn't be responded by all of them, or even gained object from the local government officials to the Western powers. As a political symbol ,it enough evidenced that Guangxu was still an effective balance of political bargaining chip to maintain Various political forces in the game. Stubbornly eager to change the situation of the forces, despite the influence of Guangxu in fact, Bigotry groups intended to implement the treaty in violation of Chinese and foreign relations policy, to break up the relationship between Chinese and foreign long-term maintenance of balance, thus to bring an even greater crisis to the rule of the Qing DynastyAfter the coup of the Reform Movement, with the Empress Dowager Cixi of yet another "political training", the Ching court's domestic and foreign policies have become conservative and xenophobic. Guangxu Emperor lost his right completely, even at risk to life. The local inspector general and Foreign powers have reacted strongly. The "upside down" behavior of the Bigotry groups gradually increased the relationship tensions between domestic and foreign. With the rise and development of the Boxer Movement, the conflicts between Qing Dynasty and overseas focused on how to finally deal with the outbreak of the Boxer. Several times at Omae Conference held by Qing Dynastyon, Guangxu Emperor was still given a say. In foreign relations, Chinese and foreign war, the combat capability of Qing, the strength of the Boxer and other major issues , Guangxu Emperor had very different opinions from diehards, thus he became the representative of who insisted on peace.This period, the relationship between Guangxu and his mother became extremely subtle and delicate. Empress Dowager Cixi attempted to abolish Guangxu, but found it difficult because of internal and external pressure .Guangxu Emperor's destiny was unpredictable, but after all, he was still the symbolic of imperial power. The Boxer Incident in 1900 made the status and prestige of Empress Dowager Cixi sharp decline in her misfortunes, Guangxu has naturely become a shield for evil and a scapegoat of hers. Guangxu because of the status symbol of the imperial power, he still played on the concept of domestic political forces to maintain a link, she ultimately failed to legitimate means to achieve the purpose of Guangxu deposed.His speech at Omae Conference on several occasions and in the process that escaped to West , Guangxu Emperor expressed his attitude of the various political forces in 1900. Standing the maintenance of the rule, to ease the position of Chinese and foreign conflicts, Guangxu took on Boxer apodictic rejection attitude, and strengthed of solidarity camp with the inspector general of South, Liu Kunyi's proposal, "Welcome the Emperor to the South area", no doubt provided some capital for Guangxu to improve his situation to face adversity. In order to maintain the order in the treaty and have a illusion to get back his power through the help of the foreign force. ,Guangxu urged to ease foreign relations.In the political personality, although Guangxu showed great fear to Empress Dowager Cixi, he also maintained a political non-cooperative attitude. After the coup of Reform Movement, he did not show fully prostrate on the Empress, but show up an attitude of opposition in the domestic and foreign affairs with the empress and the stubborn forces, even though such a gesture would not have much impact on the policy, but planted along the path of killing himself who paved the way horrible disaster. Thus, Guangxu's skill of survival by hiding himself was not in place, and failed to meet the general purpose of self-protection.
