The Mausoleum of Cixi, the First Sinner in History, Huanghuali Riches Enemies the Country

Qianlong was self-righteous and closed-door to the country, and missed China for 200 years. Let’s talk about Cixi first. Cixi is definitely the number one sinner in Chinese history. She was extremely selfish and lost power and humiliated the country for her own desires.
