November 1898 CE

The Guangxu Emperor's duties after 1898 become rather limited. 

The emperor is kept informed of state affairs, reading them with Cixi prior to audiences, and is also present at audiences, sitting on a stool to Cixi’s left hand while Cixi occupies the main throne

He discharges his ceremonial duties, such as offering sacrifices during ceremonies, but will never rule alone again.

In 1898, shortly after the collapse of the Hundred Days' Reform, the Guangxu Emperor's health begins to decline, prompting Cixi to name Pujun, a son of the emperor's cousin, the reactionary Prince Duan, as heir presumptive.

Pujun and his father will be removed from their positions after the Boxer Rebellion.

He will be examined by a physician at the French Legation and diagnosed with chronic nephritis; he will also discovered to be impotent at the time.
