The last emperor Puyi was emperor for three years, and then he retired from the throne in a confused way, catching up with the situation of internal and external compulsion, although he could not influence it, but after the September 18 Incident, he braved the world to become a puppet emperor, and it cannot be said that he is indeed an incompetent and sad emperor.
Puyi's tragic ending may have been doomed since childhood. Since the birth of Xianfeng's only son, Zaichun, in 1856, no dragon has cried in the Forbidden City for half a century.
In 1908, Cixi was dying and was succeeded by Puyi, the eldest son of the three-year-old Prince Zaifeng. At that time, in the process of the enthronement ceremony, hundreds of officials gathered, the mountains shouted long live, and firecrackers shook the sky.
Where did the three-year-old Puyi see this formation, and he cried in fear. Puyi's biological father, the regent Zaifeng, had no choice but to rush to reassure Puyi, "Don't cry, don't cry, it's almost over, it's over soon", and the result is a slur.
Guangxu and Zaifeng were the same generation, cixi insisted on establishing Puyi as emperor, Zaifeng supervised the country, and the dying Guangxu was very satisfied after hearing the news, after all, he had no descendants, but his brother was prosperous.
Zaifeng had four sons and seven daughters in his lifetime, Puyi was the eldest son, Puyi's three younger brothers, and seven flower-like sisters, although their popularity in history was not as strong as Puyi's, but after all, they were relatives of the emperor and the state, and how to say that they also left a mark in the long book of history.
Zaifeng's eleven children are sorted by age, they should be the eldest son Puyi, the second son Pujie, the eldest daughter Yun Ying, the second daughter Yun He, the third daughter Yun Ying, the third son Pu Fu, the fourth son Pu Ren, the fourth daughter Yun Xian, the fifth daughter Yun Xin, the sixth daughter Yun Yu, and the seventh daughter Yun Huan. Here we will only talk about the life experienced by Puyi's seven sisters like flowers.
Eldest Sister Yun (1908?1925)
Puyi's eldest sister is only two years younger than Puyi, and many things that Puyi is involved in, Yun Yu is also involved. Puyi was very close to his eldest sister, and when he became an adult, Puyi married Guo Buluo Runliang's sister Wanrong, and Guo Buluo Runliang married Puyi's sister Yunyi as his wife, and the relationship deepened.
However, Puyi's eldest sister Yun Is the shortest life of several sisters, in 1925, she suffered from appendicitis, when the medical conditions were poor coupled with the tense situation, surgery and anti-inflammatory drugs were luxury at that time, the most puzzling thing is that Yun's family at that time had serious superstitious thoughts, and could not believe in surgery, so she delayed the disease, and died in a hurry at the age of 18.
Second Sister Yunhe (1911?2001)
Puyi's second sister was born at a very coincidental time, just in time for the Xinhai Revolution, for the people of the new era, the overthrow of the feudal autocratic dynasty, but for people within the dynasty, it is unfortunate.
After Puyi became the puppet Emperor Kant of the puppet state of Manchukuo, he went around co-opting forces in a vain attempt to strengthen himself, and in order to draw Zheng Xiaoxu, who was the hegemonic side, was willing to use his sister as a victim, Puyi mated Yun and Xu to Zheng Xiaoxu's grandson, a veritable political marriage.
After that, pseudo-Manchuria collapsed, and Yun and his family were not welcomed by the people and lived a life of upheaval and displacement. After the founding of New China, people slowly diluted Yunhe's identity, and she later worked as a kindergarten teacher, but in modern times, people no longer use the surname of Aisin Kyora, people no longer know who she is, and no one pays attention to her previous history.
Third Sister Yun Ying (1913?1992)
Puyi's sister crawled out of the same womb as herself, so the feelings of the two of them were the most intimate. Puyi wanted to bring her relationship with her sister one step closer, so she promised her to Wanrong's younger brother Runqi.
Later, due to military needs, Puyi sent Runqi and Yunying to Japan to study military theory, and after returning from his studies, Runqi worked as an instructor in the military academies in Manchukuo.
In 1945, after the surrender of the Japanese army, Puyi's puppet regime fell apart, members of the imperial family fled in all directions, Runqi was captured as a prisoner, Yun Ying and her three children lived in Beijing, life was very difficult, but fortunately there were great people to care for, and life in his later years was greatly improved.
Fourth Sister Yun Xian (1914?2003)
YunXian's mother is a handmaiden around Zaifeng, the status is relatively low, so her relationship with Puyi has not been very good, she has been living with her parents, after Yunxian became an adult, Puyi married her to the Mongolian nobleman Zhao Qipan, and Zhao was actually a traitor, after the victory of the War of Resistance, she fled to Taiwan knowing that she was deeply guilty. Yun Xian's life was once very difficult, relying on relatives and friends to help her, after the founding of New China, she smoothly went to work in the library under the arrangement of the great man, and her life was improved.
Fifth Sister Yun xin (1917?1998)
When Yun Xin was born, Zai Feng lived in Tianjin, because he opposed Puyi's defection to the Japanese army to establish a puppet Manchu, Zai Feng did not allow several daughters to defect to Puyi, so at first the relationship between Yun Xin and Puyi was very strange.
The family fell in the middle, and later Yun Xin still went to find Puyi, Puyi found him a bad family background, and then her husband was taken away as a prisoner, the second half of her life was extremely hard, she worked as a maid for a rich man, worked as a waiter in a restaurant, and suffered from indifference and white eyes.
Although the relationship between Puyi and Yunxin is not as close as others, Puyi defected to Yunxin after being pardoned, and when he went to the household registration, he changed his home address from the original Forbidden City to his sister Yunxin's home.
Six Sisters Yun Entertainment (1919?1982)
Yun Yu always adhered to his father's legacy, did not intersect with Puyi again, and lived with his mother in Tianjin, even if the conditions were difficult.
In 1943, at the age of 25, Yun Yu married Wang Ailan (完燕愛蘭), a descendant of Kim Sejong's complete Yan Yong, and the two went to Hong Kong to escape the entanglement of the Japanese army.
After that, Yun Yu became a middle school art teacher, the level of painting is very high, and once held a personal exhibition, which is the best living conditions among several sisters.
Seven Sisters Yun Huan (1921?2005)
Puyi's sister is the freest person, is the only one of several sisters in free love, unlike the others are Puyi accused of marriage, in 1950, 30-year-old Yun Huan (renamed Jin Zhijian) free love married Qiao Hongzhi, director of the middle school teaching office, Qiao has no prominent background, is an ordinary Han civilian, but the life of the two is envious of others.
Yun Huan, like her husband, has loved education all her life, hoping that peach and plum will be all over the world, in the 1970s, the 227th Middle School in Beijing has been circulating about her great deeds, as a descendant of the royal family, she is conscientiously doing the most ordinary teaching work, how rare.
In view of this, the longest-lived of Puyi's younger siblings should be Pu Ren, who died in 2015, at the age of 98. The shortest life expectancy and the most tragic fate is Puyi's third brother Pu Qian, who died at the age of only 4.
Puyi's seven sisters in the torrent of history are taking different life paths, although they have lived a superior life since childhood, but under the general trend of the world, they have no chance to choose and are flooded under the system, and there is always such sadness behind the glitz.
