In those years at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the People's Republic, the northeast has gradually become Zhang Zuolin's territory, after years of hard work and operation, the economy, military strength and other aspects of the four northeastern provinces are very strong, of course, this is for other parts of our country in the same period, and Zhang Zuolin, as a warrior, can do so, it is also very difficult, but also shows that this northeast king does have some of his own unique means.
At the time of Zhang Zuolin's rise, Puyi's life in Guannei can be said to be relatively stable, because at that time, although the Qing Dynasty was no longer there, but because of the preferential treatment of the Republic of China to the Qing royal family, Puyi also lived in the palace quite peacefully and peacefully for twelve years, although Puyi was no longer the emperor of the world, but he was still the emperor within the palace walls.
Only later, with Feng Yuxiang's opposition, Puyi was forced to leave the palace and temporarily live in his father's palace. And it is precisely because after Puyi came out, some of the former Qing elders have gone to Puyi, wanting to discuss with him how to restore the Qing again, and Puyi is naturally very interested in restoring the Qing, because he is the emperor after all.
And at this time, Zhang Zuolin outside the Guanwai also quickly sent his son Zhang Xueliang to Tianjin to meet Puyi, because the northeast is the place where the Qing Dynasty rose, and now Zhang Zuolin is the king of the Northeast, if Puyi really wants to revive the Qing Dynasty, it is natural to get Zhang Zuolin's approval, so Puyi will definitely receive Zhang Xueliang, the year they met, Zhang Xueliang was twenty-five years old, Puyi was only twenty years old, both were two young men.
After Zhang Xueliang saw Puyi, he performed a kneeling salute to him, and did not snub him because he was no longer the emperor, which made Puyi feel very good, in fact, Zhang Xueliang would do this mainly because his father Zhang Zuolin explained well, because Zhang Zuolin believed that although the Qing Dynasty was gone, he was after all supported by the Qing Dynasty, and he still had to have a basic number of etiquette for Puyi.
And Zhang Xueliang's attitude toward Puyi after performing the great ceremony is not so good, for Puyi wants to restore the Matter of the Great Qing, Zhang Xueliang said to him very rudely, "You originally had the identity of an emperor, and now although you are a commoner, you are still higher than a commoner, if you really do a good job as a commoner, maybe there will be your share in the future election of the President of China." If you are still the emperor in the future, you may one day play your head off. ”
These words made Puyi stunned, but also can not offend Zhang Xueliang, so, can not how Zhang Xueliang, now it seems that Zhang Xueliang is still relatively enlightened at this point, knowing that the times have buried the Great Qing into the waves, it is impossible to return to the light again, but Puyi did not listen to Zhang Xueliang's words later, as soon as the Japanese supported him, they still immediately started to dream of restoration.
