When Puyi was playing in the Yangxin Temple, he accidentally found a secret message and unveiled a century-old mystery
Puyi's life can be described as legendary, he was pushed to the throne by Empress Dowager Cixi at the age of 3, and then expelled from the Forbidden City where he lived for more than ten years, and later became the emperor of Manchukuo with the support of Japan.
Puyi was born on the 14th day of the first month of 1906, he was the great-grandson of the Daoguang Emperor and the only son of Zaifeng, and after his birth, he could be said to have enjoyed all the glory and wealth. Puyi has been living in the Palace of Prince Alcohol since birth, but after living in the palace for three years, he went to the palace at the request of Empress Dowager Cixi, and the 3-year-old Puyi has become the next heir of the Great Qing in the eyes of Empress Dowager Cixi.
In 1908, the Guangxu Emperor and Empress Dowager Cixi died one after another, and the 3-year-old Puyi was pushed to the throne in such a vague way. This palace is a place that others yearn for, but for Puyi, who is only three years old, it is like a golden cage, trapping him inside.
From entering the palace in 1908 to being expelled from the palace in 1924, Puyi had lived in the palace for 16 years. 16 years of court life made him extremely familiar with every part of the palace, and when Puyi returned to the palace in his later years, he also found the cage he had played with when he was a child.
Puyi, who returned to the palace in his later years, in addition to looking for a cage, also wanted to find a holy will, which Puyi had discovered when he was a child, and what was written on the holy will was about a suspicious case 100 years ago. At that time, Puyi's younger brother Pujie came to the palace as an accompanist to live with Puyi, at that time Puyi had abdicated, there was more free time, most of the palace women were also dismissed from the palace after Puyi abdicated, and the palace was a playground for two children at that time.
One day, Puyi and his brother came to the Yangxin Hall, which has been the residence of the emperor since the beginning of Yongzheng, and Puyi is very familiar with it. Children always have a lot of new tricks when they play, and the two of them find a dusty box in the side hall while playing.
Out of curiosity, the two opened the box and found that it contained a secret message from the Qianlong period, which said that it was forbidden for the descendants of Ai Xinjueluo to open it. Puyi saw that no one was there at that time, and it was written that Yongzheng had asked the Zongren Mansion to poison the Eighth Brother and the Ninth Brother.
This secret edict can't help but remind people of the nine sons of the concubine, the nine sons of the concubine as the name suggests is the nine princes competing for the throne. Kangxi had a total of 24 sons, of which only 9 participated in the battle for the throne, and these nine sons were divided into two factions. One faction is the four brothers, the other is the eight brothers, the last victory is the four brothers, after the four brothers ascended the throne, the eight brothers and the ninth brothers were degraded, and then suddenly died.
There has always been a speculation among the people about the sudden deaths of the Eight Brothers and the Ninth Brothers, that is, they were poisoned by Yongzheng. Yongzheng certainly did not dare to say this kind of murder of his brother, but the secret edict discovered by Puyi directly revealed the secret of why the Eighth Brother and the Ninth Brother died.
Puyi did not announce this secret to the outside world after learning it, but only mentioned it in his biography.
