First, Prince Gong is single-minded.
During the reign of Cixi, she trusted the Prince Gong wholeheartedly and entrusted him with many important things. But unfortunately, Empress Dowager Cixi later became suspicious of Prince Gong and demoted him as the deliberation king. Later, Prince Gong was bent on poor performance in the Sino-French war, and was even more rejected by Empress Dowager Cixi.
Second, Rong Lu.
There are rumors that Yung Wing can be reused by Empress Dowager Cixi because Yung Wing had a relationship with Empress Dowager Cixi before she entered the palace, and the two were considered first love. Later, Empress Dowager Cixi came to power and began to cultivate cronies. She trusts Rong Lu very much. During that time, Rong Lu was highly valued by Empress Dowager Cixi. Later, Eight-Nation Alliance invaded China, Empress Dowager Cixi fled to xi 'an, and Rong Lu was with her. How much did Empress Dowager Cixi believe in Rong Lu? She has been inseparable from the road for a long time, so it is inseparable to accompany her all the time.
Rong Lu can get the trust of Empress Dowager Cixi, on the one hand, because he has a close personal relationship with Empress Dowager Cixi, and on the other hand, because he is good at calligraphy and can write a good hand. No wonder he can get the trust of Empress Dowager Cixi.
Third, An Dehai.
Empress Dowager Cixi worked hard in the harem for many years, and she felt close to the eunuchs around her, especially trusting them. Besides believing in Li Jianying, Empress Dowager Cixi was once a special newcomer, An Dehai. When An Dehai was eight or nine years old, he had already entered the palace. Emperor Xianfeng was still alive at that time, and An Dehai's cleverness and alertness attracted the attention of Emperor Xianfeng. After the death of Emperor Xianfeng, An Dehai belonged to Empress Dowager Cixi, who once regarded him as a confidant.
An Dehai is different from other eunuchs. Most eunuchs are poor, uneducated and illiterate. But An Dehai was educated and highly educated. He served Cixi, often relieved her depression and handled various affairs, and won the favor of Empress Dowager Cixi.
It is because of the favor of Empress Dowager Cixi that An Dehai thinks that he has great power in his hands. As a eunuch, he even married a wife. Empress Dowager Cixi did not stop him, but gave him a generous gift, which caused great controversy. An Dehai's frequent interference in state affairs has aroused the dissatisfaction of many officials. Later, he was killed by Ding Baozhen, the governor of Shandong Province, and the fate of this red man around Cixi ended like this.

Many people want to please her for the sake of prosperity, but not many people can do this. Only these people have won the favor of Empress Dowager Cixi.
