power, had it not been for the unpleasant fact, known to all the Court,
that the Emperor’s consort, A-lu-te, was enceinte and therefore
might confer an heir on the deceased sovereign. In the event of a
son being born, it was clear that both A-lu-te and Tzŭ An would ipso
facto acquire authority theoretically higher than her own, since her
title of Empress Mother had lapsed by the death of T’ung-Chih, and
her original position was only that of a secondary consort. As the
mother of the Emperor, she had by right occupied a predominant
position during his minority, but this was now ended. It was to her
motherhood that she had owed the first claims to power; now she
had nothing but her own boundless ambition, courage and
intelligence to take the place of lawful claims and natural ties. With
the death of her son the Emperor, and the near prospect of A-lu-te’s
confinement, it was clear that her own position would require
desperate remedies, if her power was to remain undiminished.
Among the senior members of the Imperial Clan, many of whom
were jealous of the influence of the Yehonala branch, there was a
strong movement in favour of placing on the Throne a grandson of
the eldest son of the venerated Emperor Tao-Kuang, namely, the
infant Prince P’u Lun, whose claims were excellent, in so far as he
was of a generation lower than the deceased T’ung-Chih, but
complicated by the fact that his father had been adopted into the
direct line from another branch. The Princes and nobles who
favoured this choice pointed out that the infant P’u Lun was almost
the only nominee who would satisfy the laws of succession and allow
of the proper sacrifices being performed to the spirit of the deceased
T’ung-Chih.[28]
Tzŭ Hsi, however, was too determined to retain her position and
power to allow any weight to attach to sentimental, religious, or other
considerations. If, in order to secure her objects, a violation of the
ancestral and House-laws were necessary, she was not the woman
to hesitate, and she trusted to her own intelligence and the servility
of her tools in the Censorate to put matters right, or, at least, to
overcome all opposition. At this period she was on bad terms with
her colleague and Co-Regent, whom she had never forgiven for her
share in the decapitation of her Chief Eunuch, An Te-hai; she hated
and mistrusted Prince Kung, and there is hardly a doubt that she had
resolved to get rid of the young Empress A-lu-te before the birth of
her child. The only member of the Imperial family with whom she
was at this time on intimate terms was her brother-in-law, Prince
Ch’un, the seventh son of the Emperor Tao-Kuang. This Prince, an
able man, though dissolute in his habits, had married her favourite
sister, the younger Yehonala, and it will, therefore, be readily
understood that the reasons which actuated her in deciding to place
this Prince’s infant son upon the Throne were of the very strongest.
During his minority she would continue to rule the Empire, and,
should he live to come of age, her sister, the Emperor’s mother,
might be expected to exert her influence to keep him in the path of
dutiful obedience. Tzŭ Hsi’s objection to the son of Prince Kung was
partly due to the fact that she had never forgiven his father for his
share in the death of the eunuch, An Te-hai, and other offences, and
partly because the young Prince was now in his seventeenth year,
and would, therefore, almost immediately have assumed the
Government in his own person. Tzŭ Hsi was aware that, in that
event, it would be in accordance with tradition and the methods
adopted by the stronger party in the Forbidden City for ridding itself
of inconvenient rivals and conflicting authorities, that either she
should be relegated to complete obscurity here below, or forcibly
assisted on the road to Heaven. It was thus absolutely necessary for
her to put a stop to this appointment, and, as usual, she acted with
prompt thoroughness, which speedily triumphed over the
disorganised efforts of her opponents. By adroit intrigues, exercised
chiefly through her favourite eunuch, she headed off any attempt at
co-operation between the supporters of Prince P’u Lun and those of
Prince Kung, while, with the aid of Jung Lu and the appearance on
the scene of a considerable force of Li Hung-chang’s Anhui troops,
she prepared the way for the success of her own plans; her
preparations made, she summoned a Council of the Clansmen and
high officials, to elect and appoint the new Emperor.
Interior of the Yang Hsin Tien. (Palace of “Mind Nurture.”)
The Emperor T’ung-Chih used this Palace as his residence during the whole of his
reign.
His Memorial to the Throne was, in fact (as the letter to his son
plainly indicates), an indictment of the degeneracy of the ruler of the
Empire; incidentally, it throws much light on the orthodox point of
view in regard to the question of the Imperial succession. Its
preamble sets forth the object with which it was written, and in the
hope of which the writer died, namely, to induce the Empress
Dowager to determine the future succession, providing an heir to the
