When he ascended the throne at the age of three, he panicked at the age of six, and the teenager was still an empty emperor. The naughty boy accompanies the bird, and the concubine accompanies the dark frost.
Mention the last emperor Puyi, it can be described as a few bittersweet and sad.
As the last emperor in history, and also the only emperor in history who was forced to take the throne several times, Puyi's life has experienced too many twists and turns.
Unlike many emperors who were captured after the destruction of the country in history, Puyi at least retained the right to be a commoner after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, and in his lifetime, he enjoyed the luxury of being an emperor of the Ninth Five-Year Emperor, and also experienced the bitterness of life as a commoner.
In Puyi's life, he left many regrets, but the most regrettable thing for him was that he did not leave a single blood line in his life as a former emperor.
Although he had 5 wives, why didn't he leave a single heir? Don't believe it when you say the real reason. In fact, this may have a lot to do with what the palace ladies did to him when he was a child.
1. The last emperor loved Xinjue Luo Puyi
The throne of the Ninth Five-Year Emperor has been the ideal that countless people have struggled for all their lives since ancient times, but in the face of this unattainable throne, there is a person who has easily obtained it in a vacuum, and he is still forced to sit on the throne, and this person is Puyi.
As an emperor who had to "buy tickets" when he returned home, Puyi's life could be described as colorful.
When Puyi was three years old, because the Guangxu Emperor had no heirs, Empress Dowager Cixi, in order to find a "successor" for Guangxu, took Puyi back to the palace to raise him.
Although the country was about to die and the society was about to fall, for the powerful Empress Dowager Cixi, it did not matter who sat on the throne, what was important was that the person sitting on the throne must be righteous and obedient, so Puyi, who was only three years old, was undoubtedly the best choice.
Shortly after Puyi was taken back to the palace, the Guangxu Emperor died of illness, and the three-year-old Puyi ascended the throne as emperor.
Puyi's throne did not come from him, nor did he abdicate. Just three years later, he had already ushered in his first abdication.
When Puyi was six years old, under the leadership of Empress Dowager Longyu, he retired from the throne, but although there was no throne, it did not mean that there was no emperor's life, under the guarantee of the Republic of China government, Puyi and a number of harem family members could still enjoy a very luxurious life, not only did not have to leave the palace to live, but also got 4 million yuan of living expenses per year.
Originally, it was a good choice to live a carefree life, but in 1917, under the leadership of the Qing Dynasty's widows, the reunification was restored, and the 12-year-old Puyi was once again forced to take the throne and became emperor for the second time.
What people did not expect was that this time the life of the emperor was even shorter, and only a short time later, Puyi abdicated for the second time under the crusade of the warlords.
After his abdication, Puyi lived a very peaceful life although he had no real power, watering flowers and grass every day, raising dogs and deer, and marrying Wanrongwei and Marrying Wenxiu as a concubine, however, the peaceful days did not last long.
In 1924, after Feng Yuxiang's sudden defection, Puyi could only turn to Japan, and after several twists and turns, established the pseudo-Manchurian Empire under the deception of Japan.
Puyi was once again forced to claim the title of emperor, began the life of a puppet emperor and married two concubines. However, society is progressing, history is changing, they are no longer suitable for the development of society, in 1945, the Soviet Union declared war on Japan and attacked the puppet Manchurian Empire, Puyi was once again ousted from the throne and became a war criminal.
After several systematic transformations, he became a qualified citizen and married Li Shuxian in his later years.
Counting Puyi's life, the first half of his life went through several twists and turns and three times ascended to the throne, and the second half of his life was transformed to become a qualified citizen, living a down-to-earth life with his own sweat.
His life has experienced glory, but also has loneliness, of course, also left many regrets, the most regrettable of which is that although he had five wives, he did not leave a single heir.
Two or five beautiful ladies accompanied each other, but there was no son and half daughter left
As a person born in a feudal society, Puyi, who ascended the throne three times, was undoubtedly successful.
Even if his throne has long lost its supreme imperial power and lost the power to control the world, at least he still enjoys the right of "three wives and four concubines", but even though there are five beautiful people to accompany him, but in the end there is no man and half woman left, the reason for this can be described as curious.
There are many speculations about the reasons why Puyi has no heirs, the first of which is to exclude the reason why Puyi himself does not want children, after all, in that era of valuing the continuation of the bloodline, even if he himself does not want it, the ministers and empresses around him will force him to spread his branches.
The second exclusion is the speculation that his concubines could not have children because of physical reasons, after all, after the affair between The Vang Vieng Empress and the guards, the fact that she was pregnant was a good proof.
Then there is only one reason left, that is, Puyi's own physical reasons, which lead to his inability to have children.
Such a statement is obviously controversial, Puyi is also a person who ascended the throne three times, what caused such a serious problem in his body?
Third, Puyi was unwell, and the palace maid became the culprit
The world's speculation that Puyi cannot have children is roughly divided into two kinds, and these two reasons are inextricably linked to the palace women who accompanied him when he was a child.
The first speculation indicates that Puyi was stubborn when he was young and often could not sleep, so the empress dowager let the palace women accompany Puyi, and the palace women all had a heart that "flew up the branches and became a phoenix", so when accompanying Puyi to bed, she would often force Puyi to have intercourse, hoping to change her status with the dragon species.
However, because Puyi was still young at that time, his body was not well developed, so under the constant persecution of the palace women, over time he fell to the root of the disease, causing Puyi to lose the ability to reproduce when he grew up, and Puyi eventually died of uremia, which is a strong proof that his kidneys are not good.
The second speculation is that because Puyi was often noisy when he was young, which made the empress dowager displeased, the empress dowager ordered the palace women not to give Puyi food, in order to punish Puyi, but the palace women intensified, not only did not give Puyi food, but even threatened and intimidated Puyi, fists and feet added to Puyi, which made Puyi form a shadow on women when he was a child, causing him to be unable to have normal intercourse in the future.
In fact, these two speculations, in the final analysis, are just people's curiosity about the reason why Puyi did not leave heirs, and even Puyi was not mentioned in his autobiography.
If you have to find a reasonable explanation for the reason why Puyi can't have children, it is better to doubt puyi's bloodline, after all, as early as the Xianfeng period, the number of heirs of the emperors after that is very different from the number of heirs of the emperors of the previous dynasty, and the generation is less than the generation.
