Prince Gong Yixuan, known as "Devil Six", was quite shrewd and capable of being much stronger than the Xianfeng Emperor, but his luck was not as good as that of the Xianfeng Emperor, so he failed to become emperor.
If it had been Emperor Ban Dang who was received by Yi Zhi to Daoguang, perhaps the Qing Dynasty would have looked different, at least there would have been no such thing as a woman taking the wrong place in power, and modern history would have been rewritten.
After the death of the Xianfeng Emperor, his 5-year-old son Zaichun took the throne, that is, the Tongzhi Emperor, and then Cixi joined forces with YiXun to launch the "Xin You Coup", giving the eight ministers of Gu Ming a pot, and Cixi also began to control the Qing Dynasty for nearly half a century.
After Yi Xian eliminated the eight ministers of Gu Ming, the reason why he did not eliminate Cixi was first because he did not dare and second because he could not.
It's not that you don't want to, it's that you don't dare, it's that you can't, it's not.
The reason why Yi Xian did not dare to attack Cixi was determined by Cixi's identity, and Cixi was also the emperor's mother and empress dowager.
If Yi Zhi dared to be unfavorable to Cixi, it was unfavorable to the Tongzhi Emperor, at least for the Tongzhi Emperor, who was only five or six years old at the time, and if it was unfavorable to the Tongzhi Emperor, it would be equivalent to plotting rebellion, which would make Yi Zhi a public enemy of almost everyone.
At that time, Yi Chen did not have the conditions for rebellion, whether it was timing or strength, if he chose to rebel at that time, there would be absolutely no good end.
After all, the thing "legal system" has only two words, but it was a heavy thing in that era, and the legal system at that time was naturally in the hands of the Tongzhi Emperor.
If Yi Chen really wants to seize the throne by "illegal" means, it is equivalent to challenging the legal system.
Maybe at that time, Cixi still hoped that Yi Chen's hot head would be unfavorable to her! In this way, she would have a reason to further integrate the Korean and Chinese forces to eliminate Yi Chen by the way.
Of course, after the "Xin You Coup" occurred, the forces of all sides were in a delicate state of equilibrium, and they were all in a stage of digestion, Yi Xi could not take down Cixi, and Cixi could not get rid of Yi Chen.
Xianfeng's ability was not as good as Yixun's, so although Xianfeng took over Daoguang's class as emperor, in fact, Yifeng had formed his own power group in the process of competing with Xianfeng for the throne for a long time, that is, the so-called "Emperor Yin Group".
At that time, first, because Xianfeng's ability was mediocre, and second, because Xianfeng was facing a complex and changeable domestic and foreign situation during his reign, he simply could not spare time and energy to completely crush Yixun, which caused that after Xianfeng's death, the Imperial Yin clique headed by Yifeng still had enough power in the dynasty to threaten the imperial power.
Therefore, Xian Feng left a back hand in the dying qi, and on the one hand, he appointed Zaiyuan, Duanhua, Sushun and other eight people as ministers of gu order, and at the same time, he also let Ci'an and Cixi each hold a seal, so as to form a three-legged stand with the Diyin clique.
The reason why Xian Feng made this arrangement was because he naively thought that this could really achieve a three-legged stand, so that the three forces could contain each other, thus ensuring that the imperial power of the Tongzhi Emperor was not threatened.
However, Xian Feng ignored the hearts of the people, so why did Yi Feng and Cixi choose to maintain the balance that Xian Feng thought he could exist, rather than choosing to join hands to deal with the eight ministers of Gu Feng when they suppressed yi and Cixi at the same time?
In the face of the strong suppression of the eight ministers of Gu Ming, Cixi did not hesitate to choose to join forces with Yi Chen and crush the arrogant eight ministers of Gu Ming in a "two-to-one" situation.
After the eight ministers of Gu Ming were crushed, the next thing was also very simple, Cixi and the Imperial Yin clique led by Yi Xun divided up the political interests previously controlled by the eight ministers of Gu Ming.
Cixi was also very interesting, directly appointing Yi Chen as the king of the parliament, the foreman of the military aircraft and other positions, of course, this is also the tacit understanding they reached before launching the coup, if there is no benefit, Yi Chen will not risk joining forces with Cixi, the "partial house".
Not to mention that once the eight ministers of Gu Ming fell, the Di Yin clique was strong, and in order to stabilize the situation as soon as possible and thus digest the interests she had just divided, Cixi also had to stabilize Yi Chen.
The same is true for Yi Chen, he can't eat the cake he just got his hand, and even if he eats it in one bite, he needs time to digest it.
Therefore, at that time, both Cixi and Yixuan were actually in a very delicate state, and they both needed enough time to digest.
Therefore, they will not choose to attack each other at this time, so that it is likely that the benefits that have been obtained will once again become the mouth of others.
In addition to their own reasons, the domestic and international situation faced by the Qing Dynasty at that time was also the reason why Yi Xi would not expand the matter further and attack Cixi.
With the Hong yang uprising inside, the foreigners looking at the tiger outside, and encountering the death of Xianfeng and the palace coup, the Qing Dynasty at this time was already very fragile and could not withstand the toss.
Only by continuing to maintain the rule of the Qing Dynasty can they keep the cake they have already grabbed.
Judging from what Yi Xuan did later, at least this overall view, he still has more or less, so he will not continue to make things bigger at this time.
Therefore, Yi Xian did not dare, could not, and would not continue to attack Cixi after eliminating the Eight Ministers of Gu Ming, not to mention that the Eight Ministers of Gu Ming were also eradicated by the forces of Yi Chen's side!
