The Qing Dynasty is the closest feudal dynasty to us. From the establishment of Nurhaci, it lasted for a total of 296 years. The node of the Rise and Fall of the Qing Dynasty began during the Qianlong period. Qianlong has been exempt from grain taxes in eight provinces for sixty years. The burden on farmers is reduced. However, it should have implemented a policy of closing the country to the outside world, which eventually led to the gradual decline of the Qing Dynasty. When the Western powers entered the country with foreign guns and cannons, the Qing Empire could only resist with cavalry.
On November 14, 1908, the Guangxu Emperor died at the age of 37, and Cixi, the de facto ruler of the Qing court, ordered the regent Zaifeng's eldest son, Zhaoyi, who was only 3 years old at the time. The Qing Dynasty, which has experienced nearly 300 years of ups and downs, has long been a building that will fall.
When the Xinhai Revolution broke out in 1911, Zhao Yi was forced to abdicate on February 12, 1912. The Great Qing Dynasty declared its official demise. He was only 5 years old when he abdicated, and although Puyi abdicated, he once had the identity of emperor. It is doomed to be difficult to live like ordinary people.
After the fall of the Manchu Qing Empire, Yuan Shikai did not drive Puyi out of the Forbidden City, but let him continue to live there. Since then, Zhao Yi has lived the life of a puppet emperor. In 1924, he was driven out of the Forbidden City by Feng Yuxiang. And the requirement was that nothing inside Bauhinia City could be taken away.
She thought she would be able to live a life of dissipation from now on, but after the September 18 Incident, she became a puppet emperor of the Manchurian Empire under the control of the Japanese. In 1945, Japan announced its unconditional surrender, after which Puyi was captured by the Soviet Union and taken to Siberia. And imprisoned. It was not until 1959 that Puyi was able to regain his free status.
At this time, Zhao Yi had truly become an ordinary citizen, and was assigned to work as a gardener and conductor of the Beijing Zoological and Botanical Garden. A normal daily commute leads to the same life as most people. In fact, after the founding of New China, I also went to the Forbidden City with my friends once.
At that time, Puyi was also thinking of "home", striding towards the inside. As a result, he was stopped by the conductor. Only then did Zhan Yi realize that this was no longer the former "Forbidden City" but the transformed "Palace Museum". So I bought a ticket according to the rules and went in with my friends.
Entering the Palace Museum, Zhao Yi looked east and west with his hands behind his back, when he walked to the former residence of the Guangxu Emperor. Finding something wrong, the town house sword that was first hung on the wall of the emperor's palace was hung in the wrong place. The evil town house must be hung on the wall facing the door, and it cannot be hung at will.
But at this time, The eunuch did not make a sound, until she saw the portrait in the palace and finally couldn't help but speak. It turned out that Zhen Yi found that the portrait in the center of the Guangxu Palace was hung wrong. Puyi pointed to Guangxu's portrait and said to the staff: This is not a portrait of Guangxu, this is the Prince of Alcohol!
The staff was shocked, and after learning the identity of ZhenYi, they quickly found an expert who happened to be in the Palace Museum. When the expert saw that it was really a zhaoyi, he quickly moved out a stool from the side and let the yi sit down and say. Zhao Yi also corrected the incorrectly arranged places in the room and told them. After this time, Zhen Yi never went to the Forbidden City again, until 1967, Puyi died of illness in Beijing at the age of 61.
