Guo Buluo Wanrong, the last empress of the Qing Dynasty, was also the last victim of the Qing Dynasty. People born in the late Qing Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty were mostly ill-fated.
Late Clearance
They can neither stop the course of history on their own, nor can they grasp and change their own destiny. Can only be a small part of the history to leave an inconspicuous trace.
Compared with the successive empresses of the Qing Dynasty, they have an incomparably respectable position and supreme power. As the last empress of China, Guo Buluo Wanrong not only had nothing, but was also doomed to a tragic end.
Born on November 13, 1906 in Daqingge, Rongyuan Province, this is a large Qinggege that has been held in the palm of the hand by the people of the province since childhood. Wanrong's father, Guo Buluo Rongyuan, was deeply influenced by the new ideas and advocated equality between men and women.
Many teachers were hired to teach Wanrong, and Wanrong was also trained to be proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Personality is knowledgeable and reasonable, and his personality is lively and cheerful. The graceful appearance that was originally so grown, excellent and talented, could have lived a brilliant life.
It's just a pity that he was born in feudal society and in that dynasty. She can't decide her own destiny.
Wan Rong, who was only sixteen years old, was sent to the Forbidden City to choose a concubine as one of the last showgirls of the Qing Dynasty.
Puyi himself did not look at the youthful, gorgeous, quite talented and graceful. Puyi, who has been growing up in repression, is not interested in Wanrong, who has a similar family background and is very eye-catching. Instead, he likes the embroidery that looks ordinary, looks ordinary, and is hidden in the crowd and is not conspicuous.
Perhaps such a person is the person Puyi wants to find, and can find a like-minded person in the dim court life. Therefore, Puyi chose Wen embroidery without thinking.
Although the Qing Dynasty has declined and does not know which day it will perish, this concubine selection is still a big thing, and not any woman with an average family appearance can serve as an empress.
Therefore, under the intervention of many parties, Puyi still had to choose Wanrong to become the orthodox empress of the Qing Dynasty, and Wen xiu became his concubine.
Unfortunately, before Wanrong married into the imperial palace, the Qing Dynasty collapsed in 1912. Puyi also abdicated from a generation of puppet emperors to become the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty and even China.
And Wen Xiu, as a Manchurian white flag, coupled with the fact that his mother is a love for Xinjue Luoshi, and the marriage contract made by Puyi must not be regretted.
Dynasties fall
This is the fate of being a Manchu Qing Gege. Just like another Manchu Gee-ai Shin Kyora Xianxuan, who had no choice, he was sent to Japan by his father to receive a militarist education, so that he could one day restore the Qing Dynasty.
Most of these people, who came from the last generation of the Qing dynasty's nobility, became victims of feudal society and became victims of a dynasty.
Whether the Qing Dynasty existed or not, WanRong had to marry Puyi and become the titular empress. The same is true of Wen Xiu, whether she likes it or not, she is a side concubine selected by Puyi. In that feudal era, although Puyi was no longer an emperor, Wen Xiu could also marry someone else.
In this way, the two women who suffered a hard life were carried into the Forbidden City and became the last empress and concubine of this last dynasty.
WanRong and Puyi, who have just become relatives, have a very good relationship. After all, Wan Rong is proficient in all kinds of paintings and paintings, and has new ideas, which is not rigid.
Compared with Wen Jingxianshu's embroidery, Wanrong is more lively and lovely, smart and cute. Therefore, Puyi also specially invited an English teacher to teach WanRong, and the correspondence between the two is often in English, which is quite interesting.
But being born in that turbulent era, especially Puyi's identity, is doomed to be impossible to live as peacefully as an ordinary couple.
The puppet emperor who grew up under Cixi's control was extremely sensitive and repressed. After experiencing the Qing Dynasty from decay to demise step by step, the psychology has gradually become extreme with the demise of this Great Qing Dynasty.
Fate is uncertain
Falling from a high place, how can it land smoothly? Ordinary people can't do it, and Puyi can't do it.
But even if Puyi is only the emperor in name, he can still live in the Forbidden City and enjoy everything in the original, except for not having power. Puyi, who lives in the Forbidden City, is still no different from his previous life.
During the war years, Puyi in the Forbidden City was more stable than most people living in the war. Until 1924, Feng Yuxiang launched the "Beijing Coup" and completely rewrote all this. On November 5, Puyi was completely expelled from the Forbidden City by Feng Yuxiang's army, and Wanrong and Wenxiu could only follow Puyi out of the palace.
Puyi left the Forbidden City, where he had lived for most of his life, and for him, this was his home for the first half of his life, and he truly realized that his home was completely gone.
From the moment they moved out of the palace, everyone's heart was quietly changing. Puyi also more deeply experienced the taste of the subjugation of the country, and these concubines followed him and drifted away to Tianjin to temporarily settle down. The moment you leave the Forbidden City, it is the beginning of everyone's tragedy.
Final dignity
After coming to Tianjin, several people settled in Zhang Garden in the Japanese Concession. Wen Xiu bravely took the first step, and she could no longer tolerate this kind of marriage in name only and the indifference of her husband Puyi, as well as an unfree life.
No one expected that the seemingly quiet embroidery would be so bold. Although Wen Xiu faced condemnation from all sides and pressure from the family, as well as Puyi's bitter retention, she resolutely wanted to change her life and live her own appearance.
After Wen Xiu left, only Puyi and Wanrong were left. Puyi's mentality changed dramatically with Wenxiu's divorce, and he blamed all this on Wanrong, blaming all external setbacks on this poor woman.
Because he had no one to talk about, there was nowhere to vent, only Wanrong did not abandon him, but it also became an outlet for Puyi's grumpy temper. Wanrong, who was no longer happy, began to paralyze herself through opium and lived a depraved life.
With the fall of Puyi, no one put Puyi and Wanrong, the empress, in their eyes anymore.
One morning, WanRong changed her clothes and makeup in front of the mirror as usual. But she always felt that there was a pair of eyes in the window, and she looked back sharply to see a fleeing blue figure.
Even if she fell into this courtyard, she was still the titular empress, and how could she allow others to offend, so Wanrong sent a small eunuch to the next door to arrest people.
Because Wanrong only remembered that the figure of the escape was a touch of blue, and did not see the person's appearance clearly. The little eunuch went next door to look for a servant dressed in blue. Who knew that those servants did not take Wanrong seriously at all, and still shouted unashamedly, "The Republic of China, where is the empress?"
Angry, the little eunuch went back to complain, and Wanrong couldn't find Puyi. Puyi also did not allow anyone to slander the Great Qing Kingdom, not to mention that he was only a small subordinate, and he sent someone to find someone who patrolled the house.
But the dozen or so servants were extremely cunning, and all of them changed into blue clothes. Patrols can't take everyone away for interrogation, let alone such a trivial matter, so the matter is not resolved.
However, this incident also fully proves the embarrassing existence of Puyi and Wanrong, the Great Qing Kingdom is dead, who will care about the emperor and empress?
No matter what puyi's attitude towards Wanrong, Wanrong, the last empress, did not abandon Puyi. In addition to Wen Xiu, who escaped from this cage early, Puyi and Wanrong, who had been trapped in this feudal dynasty all their lives, could only end up with a desolate end.
