The Xin you coup was not only the turning point of the political situation in the late Qing Dynasty, but also the "first show" of Cixi on the political stage, but behind the success of the two empress dowager and Yi Kui in seizing power, people often ignore the outcome of the "eight ministers" appointed by Emperor Xianfeng before his death. 

First of all, we need to know these eight ministers. 

The so-called eight ministers are only customary. According to the instructions written by Emperor Xianfeng on July 16 of Xianfeng, they should be called "praise kings and ministers", including: 

Ai Xin Jue Luo Zaiyuan: Prince Heshuoyi, who was then the imperial order of the patriarchal clan, and the minister of the interior of the guard, and so on. 

Aixinjueluo Duanhua: Prince Zheng, Prince Heshuo, was then prime minister of camp affairs, commander of the army, former minister, and so on. 

Ai Xin Jue Luo Sushun: (brother of Zheng pro-Wang) assists in managing the bachelor's degree, acting as the minister of the bodyguard, managing the court affairs of Li Fan, and so on. 

Fucha Jingshou: Princess Enguron, the sixth daughter of Emperor Daoguang, served as the minister of the guard at that time. 

Tuo he Luo Mu Yin: the then Minister of military aircraft, the Ministry of War Shang Shu, and other posts. 

Kuang Yuan: at that time, he was the minister of military aircraft, the minister of the Ministry of officials, and other positions. 

Duhan: the son of du Shoutian, the teacher of Emperor Xianfeng, was the minister of military aircraft and the waiter of the Ministry of Industry at that time. 

Jiao Youying: at that time, he was the Minister of Learning and Walking of the military aircraft Department, Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, and other positions. 

Judging from the composition of these eight people, there are relatives, expensive, Manchu, Han, inner courtiers, and foreign officials, which can be called a perfect team. 

At the same time, Emperor Xianfeng also gave two seals of "Imperial reward" and "Tong Daotang" to let the queen and the queen praise the government king and ministers (hereinafter referred to as eight ministers) to restrict each other. 

It can be seen that Emperor Xianfeng did make some pains before his death, hoping to build a complete auxiliary political team to consolidate the rule of Crown Prince Zai Chun. 

The empress dowager of the two houses. 

Emperor Xianfeng died of illness in Chengde Summer Resort on July 17. 

Subsequently, the funeral, honoring the empress as empress dowager, changing the name to Qixiang, and other matters were all carried out in an orderly manner in the official records. at the same time, eight ministers began to consolidate their rights. first of all, inform the national military and political officials, governors, and other Yamen, all the books submitted to the emperor must first be handed over to the minister's office of the King of Administration of Zanxiang, and then transferred to the empress dowager of the two palaces to use the seal. 

In a disguised form, the empress dowager of the two houses was deprived of the right to contact foreign ministers. 

But on the same day, the cabinet also "sent an order" to reprimand Shengbao for violating the regulations and secretly asked Empress Dowager to settle the matter, asking for Shengbao to be "handed over to the Ministry." 

In this way, as the vanguard of the empress dowager of the two palaces to seize power, Shengbao naturally had no chance to go to the summer resort, and there was no chance to get in touch with the empress dowager and heir emperors of the two palaces, and monk Greenqin was discouraged by eight ministers from paying homage to the Zi Palace of Dahang Emperor in the same way. 

The day before Shengbao was reprimanded, Dong Yuantuo, the governor of Shandong Road, also played to Emperor Shu, pleading for "the Empress Dowager to govern the government and another prince to assist him." 

Empress Dowager won the first round. 

The enemy's foolish move is the victory of his side, and it is precisely through the removal of more than three of Zaiyuan's duties that the two palaces and the guardians around the emperor can naturally arrange their people, and they do not have to worry about the danger of their lives. at the same time, it cut off the contact between the eight ministers and the Mongol kings. 

So on September 28, Sheng Bao, the pioneer of the two houses, made almost the same book as Dong Yuanol before, asking Empress Dowager to take care of the great government and Jane to assist the prince. 

On September 30, the empress dowager of the two houses formally issued an order to "praise the king of government and minister, and send the Empress Dowager to listen to government affairs," thus sounding the bugle of the downfall of the eight ministers. 

However, this decree issued on the 30th says that the oracle was delivered on September 18, that is to say, when the empress dowries of the two houses were ready to return to Beijing first, they had already prepared the corresponding matters for the coup, waiting for Su Shun and others to turn themselves in. 

That night, Wang Yicheng of Jiujun County led Shanpu battalion soldiers to Gubeikou to capture Sushun, who escorted the coffin and put him in the prison of the patriarchal palace together with Zaiyuan and Duanhua, who had first entered Beijing, and the other five ministers were also captured separately. Since then, the first chapter of the Xin you coup has come to an end. 

After all, it was the loser who took it all. 

Then it's time for the general ledger. 

Now that the eight ministers have failed, the losers naturally have to bear all the blame. 

Therefore, the invasion of the Anglo-French coalition forces was caused by Zaiyuan and others who could not make peace wholeheartedly, but only to induce British envoys to stop their responsibilities, thus breaking their promises. The death of Emperor Xianfeng was caused by the fact that Emperor Xianfeng repeatedly summoned ministers to return to Luan, all of which came to an end because Zaiyuan and others were "traitors" and "power to exclude the masses." as a result, Emperor Xianfeng's body could not bear the cold of the summer resort, the sacrament disobeyed and died tragically. 

In addition, when the eight ministers drew up the will, they disobeyed and obstructed the subsequent emperor and the empress dowager of the two houses from meeting foreign ministers and roaring to frighten the holy bow face to face. 

Such a buckle of three hats not only whitened Emperor Xianfeng but also confirmed the charge of the eight ministers.
