Cixi and Guangxu, the mother and son, have always been very unsympathetic, and the two sides are fighting for power. After the Penghu ReformAtion, Cixi was even more ruthless in her desire to abolish Guangxu.
The emperor Guangxu did not obey, and Cixi thought of setting up a puppet that could be controlled. Thinking about it, the 15-year-old son of Duanjun Wang Ai Xinjue Luo Zaiyi, Ai Xin Jue Luo Pu Yan (pronounced jùn), was a more suitable candidate.
In order to improve the legitimacy of the succession of this chess piece, Cixi passed on Pu Juan to the Tongzhi Emperor and gave him the title of "Big Brother". In this way, Pu Juan's identity is almost the same as that of the crown prince.
Since he has the identity of the "crown prince", it is natural to find a teacher for the future emperor. Otherwise, if shunzhi is so disobedient, it is really quite disturbing.
On December 24, 1899, Pu Juan officially succeeded the Tongzhi Emperor, and Shangshu Chongqi and xu Tong, a university scholar, taught him to read. On the first day of the first lunar month in 1900, the Guangxu Emperor of the Pu Dynasty went to the Great High Xuan Hall and the Fengxian Hall to pay their respects. Cixi had originally thought everything out, and forced Guangxu to abdicate in this year. He also gave the "new emperor" a year name - "Baoqing"
However, Cixi's wishful thinking did not start, and this matter was opposed by many people. Except for the princes and ministers of the Qing Dynasty, even foreigners did not agree. Originally, this was the Qing government's own affair, but at this time, the Great Qing still had the arrogance of that year.
Because the ministers in China of various countries have raised objections, the matter of zen positions has finally been shelved. So what happened to Pu Juan in the end?
Although he had the status of crown prince, he did not have the life of an emperor at all. Not only that, but he was also implicated by his biological father.
Pu Juan's biological father Zai Yi connived at the Boxer Rebellion, and Pu Juan was deposed as crown prince because of his father, and finally expelled from the palace.
Speaking of this "alternate emperor", it is also pitiful.
Originally, he had a plain but stable life, because Cixi's words gave him the illusion of being above ten thousand people under one person. But before this dream was finished, it was carried into the hands of his own father, and the moment he was driven out of the palace, he finally tasted the feeling of shattering the dream.
