Puyi revisited the Forbidden City in his later years and quietly said a word to the vase, and the experts next to him were too frightened to speak
Puyi's life has undoubtedly experienced a lot of ups and downs. He was born in the thirty-second year of Guangxu, the son of Prince Shuo, the younger brother of the Guangxu Emperor. In the thirty-fourth year of Guangxu, both The Guangxu Emperor and Empress Dowager Cixi were seriously ill, and at this time Empress Dowager Cixi urgently summoned the imperial court officials to discuss the matter of succession, and the sick Guangxu Emperor had been placed under house arrest by Empress Dowager Cixi and had no power at all. During the deliberations, the major ministers believed that the Manchu Qing at this time was already worried about internal and external troubles, and should appoint the elderly person as the emperor, that is, the brother of the Guangxu Emperor, but Empress Dowager Cixi was furious and insisted on establishing Puyi as Emperor Chu. I would like to say two words, since you have decided to make Puyi emperor, you still have to discuss what to do, just give the order directly, Empress Dowager Cixi really has a heart.
At this time, Puyi, who was only 3 years old, succeeded to the throne, and his father, the Prince of Alcohol, assisted the imperial government. However, due to the outbreak of the Xinhai Revolution, he stepped down again when he was 6 years old, we can refer to his childhood, most of them are carefree in the arms of their parents, but Puyi has already experienced various tribulations. Later, he was reinstated repeatedly, became emperor for 12 days and abdicated, and was even used as a puppet by the Japanese and Soviet allies. For the emperor, Puyi's childhood as an emperor was miserable, but for ordinary people, he still received a good education and was loved by many people.
After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Puyi was repatriated by the Soviet Union at the strong request of the Chinese government. Because everything he and the Japanese did was bad for our country, he had to undergo reform and went to jail after repatriation. Later, because of his sincere attitude, he was eventually released, and he was 54 years old when he was released. After being released from prison, when asked by Premier Zhou what kind of work he wanted to do, he seemed a little hesitant, after all, he did not know what the world had become after more than 30 years of separation from this society. After much thought, he decided to become a doctor, which was also his dream when he was an emperor, but it was obviously not very reasonable for a last emperor to be a doctor. Premier Zhou politely rejected him, and under hesitation, someone proposed to let him guard the Forbidden City and do tour guide work, but Premier Zhou also felt that it was inappropriate, and finally simply let him go to the botanical garden to be a gardener. Puyi did not resign, and he already felt lucky to be released after completing his sentence.
When working in the botanical garden, Puyi was still shy at first and reluctant to communicate with people. Over time, I was driven by the enthusiastic staff around me. The people here are not the same as the people who once nodded their heads at him, there is no class here, everyone is equal. When he first came out of prison, he has slowly adapted to this place. Puyi, who received a good education since childhood, likes to read books and also likes to write, and in his spare time working in the botanical garden, he completed his autobiography "The First Half of My Life". During his time at the Botanical Garden, the leader organized a tour of the Forbidden City. Puyi is also in the procession, half a life fluttering, into the Forbidden City with a lot of feelings, once his own back garden now even need to buy a ticket to visit. In the Forbidden City, he did not need the guidance and introduction of the tour guide at all, here he was more familiar than anyone, and he had traveled to every corner of the Forbidden City.
Among them, while viewing the exhibition hall of objects, he saw a vase. He couldn't help but say to himself that it was his night pot. The tour guide next to him was a historical expert, and he was surprised to hear what Puyi said, he did not dare to confirm Puyi's identity, so he explained to Puyi that this was a vase in the back garden of the last emperor, not a night pot. Fu Yi smiled slightly after listening to it, saying that he was Puyi, this was originally a vase in the garden, but he was greedy when he was a child, and he liked to take the flowers in the vase, pee inside, and then adjust the night pot and the vase. These things were not noticed by Puyi's personal eunuchs. After listening, the expert felt very surprised, so he greeted Puyi in succession and asked him to tell him about his own history. At this time, Puyi is also surging in his heart, revisiting the old place and having a bumpy life. Thinking back to his time made him wet.
