Aisin-Gioro Zaitian, a native of the Qing Dynasty, was Emperor Guangxu, and was the 1 1 emperor of the Qing Dynasty. At the age of four, he ascended the throne. At first, Empress Ci 'an and Empress Cixi listened to politics. After the death of Empress Ci 'an in the seventh year of Guangxu, Empress Dowager Cixi ruled in a palace until Guangxu was eighteen. Since then, although he nominally belongs to Emperor Guangxu, in fact, power is still in the hands of Empress Dowager Cixi.
Emperor Guangxu was held hostage by Empress Dowager Cixi all his life and never held real power. 1898, Emperor Guangxu carried out the Reform Movement of 1898, but it was resisted by conservatives headed by Empress Dowager Cixi. Emperor Guangxu was imprisoned by Empress Dowager Cixi in Yingtai, Zhongnanhai. The whole reform only lasted 103 days, so it was called "hundred-day reform". 1908, Emperor Guangxu died the day before Empress Dowager Cixi's death, at the age of 38, and was buried in Qing chongling, Qing Xiling.
