Speaking of the last emperor Puyi, I believe everyone is very familiar with it! He was the last emperor in Chinese history, the great-grandson of the Daoguang Emperor, the son of the regent Zaifeng, and the daughter of his mother Su Wanguarjia was cixi's confidant Ronglu, and it was Puyi, who was born prominently, but when he recalled his childhood, he was grief-stricken, and even when he was hungry, he could only eat fish steamed buns, and his body was hollowed out by the palace maids.
On December 2, 1909, Puyi, who had just turned three, succeeded to the throne in the Taihe Temple, because he was a small emperor, he could not yet personally govern, but could only be The Empress Dowager Longyu bowed to the government, Puyi was only a symbol of the imperial family, and did not have real power, but a puppet little emperor. With the turbulent society of the late Qing Dynasty, the wind and rain were fluctuating.
Although Puyi was only three years old, he could not play around like other children, but went to the court every day and discussed with hundreds of officials. But after a long time, the child's active personality will appear. The more times, Empress Longyu would be very angry, and would also punish him for not allowing him to eat, and for a long time, she also developed the character of the little emperor who was cowardly and afraid of things.
According to the history of Ye, this time the little emperor of Xuantong was punished again, and did not eat for a day, and The hungry Puyi could only go to the eunuch's room to find a fish steamed bun to eat, and halfway through the meal, he was seen by the eunuch. Puyi quickly ran outside, ran to a big tree and stopped, crouching there. The eunuch also dared to go forward, and after a while, Puyi turned around and returned half of the steamed bun to the eunuch.
This made the eunuchs present all moved to tears, and such scenes often appeared on the emperor's body. And many palace women saw that Puyi was not flattered by Empress Longyu, and also came to bully her, according to Puyi's recollection in his later years, he failed to leave heirs with Empress Wanrong and Shufei Wenxiu, a large part of which was because the close palace women hollowed out their bodies.
In 1912, Empress Longyu promulgated the "Edict of abdication of the Qing Emperor", ending the imperial system that lasted for more than 2,000 years, and thus entered the republican era and opened a new historical era. Although Puyi has abdicated, Empress Longyu still won an annual royal expenditure of 4 million taels from the Beiyang government, and can also live in the Forbidden City, for Puyi, his life is still very comfortable.
In 1919, the British officer Johnston went to the Forbidden City as Puyi's teacher, learning Western culture, educating Puyi in English, mathematics, and geography, and Puyi's eyes were also wide open. Since then, Puyi began to cut off his hair braids, began to ride a bicycle in the Forbidden City, was curious about the "outside world", and even planned to escape from the Forbidden City with his brother Pujie, but was discovered by the princely ministers and was not realized.
But the good times did not last long, in 1924, Feng Yuxiang launched the "Beijing Coup", Puyi had to leave the Forbidden City with his gold and silver and two wives, and after several turns, finally settled in Tianjin. But in Tianjin, he was thinking about returning to the Forbidden City all the time, and the Japanese also saw Puyi's idea and took the initiative to extend an "olive branch".
In Puyi's view, he can use the strength of the Japanese to restore the "Great Qing", but the Japanese are even more wolf ambitions, they hope to occupy the three eastern provinces of China for a long time, plunder the mining resources of the northeast, you know, at that time, the heavy industry in the northeast was one-third of the country, the geographical location is self-evident, in this context, the Japanese want to establish a puppet government through Puyi's influence, affect the people's anti-Japanese enthusiasm.
In the face of the tempting conditions offered by the Japanese, Puyi could not resist any longer, almost agreed to all the conditions of the Japanese, and went to the northeast alone, but it is regrettable that Puyi's masters, like Lu Runyu, Xu Fang, these masters only taught him the Thirteen Classics, ancient poems, and books such as "Zhu Zi Family Training", but he never studied history, if he could see the Wolf Ambitions of the Japanese, he would not go to the northeast and eventually became a war criminal. What do you think about that?
