What kind of experience the last emperor was, we can see it by looking at Puyi. Among the many historical photos that have been preserved, Puyi is full of vicissitudes and melancholy, and does not have the appearance of the Nine-Five-Year Dignity. Therefore, many netizens sighed for this: also a poor person. However, this is the case, the fall of a dynasty will eventually give birth to a king of a fallen country with a tragic fate. In ancient times, the kings of the fallen countries were generally treated kindly, so why did Puyi go to prison?
Puyi who was taken away
Puyi was a young emperor. Because Guangxu died at a young age. He did not leave a son and a half daughter, cixi in order to consolidate the power of the Qing Dynasty, as well as to continue her power to listen to the government, so she decided to take Liu Jia's son Puyi to the palace to raise. Cixi had taken away her own sister's son before this, so that the mother and son could only meet with the courtesy of a monarch, and usually did not even have a chance to meet. Therefore, children who were taken away by Cixi often indicate separation from their biological parents.
At that time, After hearing this news, Liu Jiashi instantly fainted. But the facts could not be changed, and Cixi's orders could not be disobeyed. In this way, the young Puyi has lived in the Forbidden City ever since. Until his third year as emperor.
Puyi in the Forbidden City
That year, Yuan Shikai went to the Forbidden City. He and Puyi talked a lot to each other. But everything is inseparable, as long as Puyi abdicates and the Qing government declares its demise. Under yuan shikai's coercion and inducement, Puyi had to agree to withdraw from the emperor's position. Yuan Shikai made such a big decision in order to make up for Puyi, and also agreed to let Puyi continue to stay in the Forbidden City as a "false emperor" without real power. Until the moment when Puyi was driven out of the Forbidden City.
The journey of the last emperor to restore the country
After Puyi left the Forbidden City, he lived a life of exile. His desire to restore the country grew heavier. It is not difficult to understand that a king of a subjugated country, under the impetus of the times, was forced into exile, and such a tragic fate made him ignite the idea of restoring the country. Although Puyi's idea was opposed by his biological father, Puyi still did things according to his own wishes. He colluded with the Japanese to establish pseudo-Manchuria in the northeast. At this stage, Puyi lived a relatively beautiful life.
Puyi's transformed life
Later, Japan was defeated, and Puyi also became a war criminal. Puyi originally wanted to take a plane to Japan, but when he encountered the Soviet army at the airport, Puyi was locked up. After the founding of New China, the Soviet Union handed over Puyi to New China. Since then, Puyi has also begun a decade-long transformation life.
In this ten-year reform career, Puyi came to the war criminals management center in Fushun. There Puyi had to be transformed every day. When he was emperor, Puyi had no worries about food and clothing, and there were yahuan and eunuchs waiting by his side in everything. However, when it comes to the war criminals management center, Puyi will undergo a complete reform. After the transformation, Puyi will fade the imperial spirit and become an ordinary citizen.
So should Puyi be punished in the end? Some people think that Puyi is involuntary, and he is also helpless about many things. But some people think that Puyi's collusion with the Japanese is wrong, so he also deserves it. Puyi is the last emperor after all, and in the chaotic times, all his words and deeds should be said to be mixed. In the new period, we should show people with a new look.
In this decade, Puyi learned to live on his own. Slowly Puyi learned to sew and mend his own clothes, wash his own clothes, and grow his own vegetables. After completing the transformation, Puyi became one of the amnesty lists. When he performed that ritual, Puyi was particularly excited.
Perhaps, at that time, Puyi had truly regarded himself as an ordinary person.
