History has its own life, it is like a person, both easy-going and self-respecting. ——Yu Qiuyu
The fall of the Qing Dynasty also represents the end of the feudal rule that oppressed the Chinese people, and the reasons for the collapse of the Qing Dynasty have become the focus of many historians' research. After all, in the Yongzheng period, the strength and economic level of the Great Qing dynasty were second to none, and even in the Kangxi and Qianlong eras, there was also a saying that the Kangqian Dynasty was prosperous, and the reasons for where the Great Qing Dynasty were destroyed were very complicated.
Some people say that it was because of Cixi, some people say it was because of Puyi, and some people say it was because of Qianlong, because although the Qianlong period was also a peaceful and prosperous period, the people did not worry about eating and drinking, but because qianlong implemented the policy of closing off the country and closing the country, it was derailed from the times, resulting in a military or cultural closure, and finally there was a tragic place of aggression by the great powers.
Of course, the reasons are varied, and attributing the problem to one person alone will not help the study of history in any way. The claim that the Great Qing Dynasty was overthrown at the hands of Puyi is actually very one-sided and incorrect. During Puyi's reign, the government was mainly controlled by Empress Yulong and a number of courtiers, and the final abdication was not Puyi's decision, and it was very unfair to push the responsibility for the destruction of the country to him because he was the last.
But there is indeed such a person, so that Puyi is very hateful, in his heart, the Great Qing Kingdom is destroyed in his hands, this person is Yi Li, is the great-grandson of Hongli, in the late Qing Dynasty, has been deeply trusted by Empress Dowager Cixi, although it is a royal family, but Yi Li himself is not highly educated, but he wrote a good hand, so he was loved by Cixi.
In addition, this person is still relatively safe in handling affairs, and he is also a relative of the emperor and the state, and he is also smooth sailing in the official field. Why did Puyi hate him so much? It is because Yi Li is very greedy and loves money, at the end of the Qing Dynasty, in the case of poor national strength, he did not care how to defend the country, only how to make money into his own pocket.
In order to make money, Yi Xi sold a lot of official positions through personal relations, and if this was only detrimental to the national strength, then he accepted Yuan Shikai's money and helped Yuan Shikai dissuade the courtiers and Empress Yulong from abdicating Puyi, resulting in the direct demise of the Qing Dynasty. As a descendant of the Qing Dynasty, not putting the interests of the country first is really an act of treason.
This is also the reason why Puyi said that the Great Qing Kingdom was destroyed at the hands of Yi Li, and because of this, after Yi Li's death, Puyi was not willing to give him a good nickname, and finally Puyi's father interceded for the reason of being a clan relative, and only then gave a secret son's nickname, expressing remorse and repentance.
The demise of the Qing Dynasty was caused by many historical reasons, but for Puyi, it was precisely with rat like Yi Li that he was forced to abdicate, so that the Qing government was disintegrated faster, so Puyi hated Yi Li to the extreme.
