Puyi was expelled from the Forbidden City by Feng Yuxiang, and some people said that Zhang Zuolin was furious, because Lao Zhang was a die-hard fan of the Great Qing Kingdom, and for this reason, Feng Jun later beat Feng Yuxiang and beat Old Feng to the point of urine. There was also a person who planned to carry out a second restoration and flaunt the Great Qing Kingdom again, which could be called the "Third Empire of the Great Qing" (before Zhang Xun restored once, even if it was the Second Empire of the Great Qing).
What are the facts? First of all, let's see that five years before Puyi was expelled from the Forbidden City, the imperial family received a large amount of money, and the remitter was Fengtian that side, that is, Zhang Zuolin.
Why did Lao Zhang send money to the last emperor? Because he is the king of the northeast, and although Xuantong has abdicated, there is still a certain appeal and influence in the Manchu and Mongolian crowd in the northeast, Lao Zhang has managed the royal family, and it is naturally of great benefit to him to dominate the northeast.
Of course, this matter was quickly captured by the media, and Tianjin's "North China Daily Post and Telegraph" newspaper immediately published an article entitled: "Is another restoration near at hand?" 》
After reading this kind of news headline, Puyi immediately hit the chicken blood, he once said: "I feel joy from the bottom of my heart, and I also understand why the leader of the Fengjun Army is so enthusiastic about the Forbidden City."
The following year, Lao Zhang entrusted someone to present two northeastern ginseng trees to Puyi. In 1920, Lao Zhang even informed Puyi that he wanted to "defend the royal family". In Beijing, it was even rumored that Zhang Zuolin was going to enter the Forbidden City to give "Saint Shang Cun Waiting", and Puyi's gang was simply happy, adding a sword to "in addition to the usual items" as a reward for Lao Zhang.
Ha ha! But Lao Zhang did not come to see Puyi, and people were busy! In fact, Zhang Zuolin, who is well versed in politics, will not go against the tide of history and lose a good way out for the powerless and powerless emperor.
In 1922, on the occasion of Puyi's big wedding, Zhang Zuolin hit a red envelope of 10,000 oceans to Puyi. Two years later, there was an incident in which Feng Yuxiang threw Puyi out of the Forbidden City. At this time, Lao Zhang did put on a posture of righteous indignation, and at the end of this year, he also asked johnston, a red man around the little emperor, to meet, and this time Puyi gave Lao Zhang two gifts: a photograph of Puyi's signature and a topaz ring studded with diamonds. Zhang Zuolin only received the photo, returned the ring, and promised to try to "assist the emperor and save the mess."
However, no matter what, Zhang Zuolin will not really help Puyi to restore the country, play any second restoration, he once publicly issued a statement: "Zuolin regards patriotism as his duty, and anyone who undermines our republican form of government will stand up and strike at it."
As long as you don't restore, it's actually a small problem. Zhang Zuolin has since met with Puyi, and even prostrated his head and shouted "The emperor is good." But even so, Lao Zhang still would not support the restoration. So in the end, Puyi sneaked to the Japanese embassy and eventually embarked on the road of treason.
