At the end of the Qing Dynasty, most of the Eight Banners nobles lived a very luxurious life, and after the Qing government stepped down, their good life could not go on, they ate, drank, gambled, smoked, bought and sold antique calligraphy and paintings, which were the blood suckers of the Qing Dynasty.
Feast.
He was a descendant of Emperor Taizong of the Qing Dynasty's older brother Daishan, the last King of Keqin County in the Qing Dynasty. This person was very fond of squandering, since the fall of the Qing Dynasty and the decline of the royal palace, Yan Sen had no place to live, so he had to sell the tall trees and precious trees where the tomb of the king of Keqin County was located, and even the bricks and stones of the cemetery were sold. After receiving the money, Yan Sen did not plan how to revive the palace and restore its former glory, but continued to squander the money with it.
At first, after Puyi knew his situation, he had received him materially, but it wasn't long before he spent all the money Puyi gave him. In this regard, Puyi was very angry, and naturally knew that he was a Dou who could not be supported, so he no longer cared about him. In the end, there was no way, and Yan Sen had to work as a foreign coachman to make a living by pulling cars. Therefore, people call him "Che Wang" and "Che Wang Tomb" to call his ancestral tomb.
Yu Qi.
He was the last Prince yi of the Qing Dynasty, who had been Puyi's companion and was passionate about Peking Opera, but he knew nothing about the management of property. At the same time, this person has a very bold personality, and every time he goes out to dinner with friends, he checks out. After entering the Republic of China, he had no way to make a living, and could only make a living by acting in the theater troupe and managing costumes and props, and finally died of illness in 1948. Zhaoxu.
Zhaoxu was the son of Prince Zheng, and when he sold all the treasures in the family, there was nothing more to pawn, so he sold the palace to the University of China. But within a few days, Zhaoxu had squandered the money he had sold and began to think of the trees on his ancestral grave. In 1927, Zhaoxu dug up the dragon stele and some brick and tile pieces on the graves of his ancestors, and later sold them to Zhang Xueliang.
In 1931, someone found that a thief had stolen the grave of Prince Zheng, so he managed to arrest the thief, and after examination, it was found that the tomb robber was actually Zhaoxu's son.
Zhongquan and Zhongming.
Both were sons of Kui Bin, the Prince of Rui. Since Kuibin's death, his sons have squandered a little of his legacy: not only did they spend a fortune to build a new house, installed a new telephone in every room, but also added a Western after-dinner kitchen, and there must be a car pick-up and drop-off when they go out. In this way, in the passage of time, the two finally lost all their family property.
In desperation, in 1919, the two had to sell their villa in the western suburbs of Beijing. After getting the 20,000 yuan for the sale of the villa, the two of them took a few prostitutes to Tianjin to have a good time. But in less than two days, they ran out of money. In 1924, the two men pawned more than 500 houses in the palace and borrowed 100,000 yuan. Later, they simply did not stop and sold the pavilions and trees in the ancestral cemetery to others. The following year, because the money was not enough, the court seized Prince Rui's palace.
Logically, although the house was seized, the two still have certain housing rights and can be resold for hundreds of thousands. However, the timid Zhongquan and Zhongming, after hearing that the court had seized their family property, thought that the house and the things inside no longer belonged to them. Therefore, they hurriedly gave all the cars, carriages, and other things to the next person, and sold the more than a thousand acres of land in the ancestral tomb to the people who watched the tomb, and then began to dump their clothes, jewelry and other items. In 1931, the two were desperate and could not even solve the problem of basic food and clothing.
Therefore, Zhongquan prepared to secretly steal his ancestral grave, but was found, after which the court sentenced him to seven years in prison, and finally died in prison.
Although it is more tragic to be a foreign coachman and a dragon runner than the high-ranking prince, these people rely on their own hands to make money. You know, many of the princes' descendants will only squander money and have nothing else to do.
