Since ancient times, there have been many secrets in the Forbidden City. The Forbidden City was where the emperor lived. Any secret can be a state secret. The Qing Dynasty is the closest dynasty to us, and some secret news about the Qing Dynasty is also a topic of discussion. A lot of people are interested in this.
What Xiaobian wants to talk about today is the secret edict of the Yongzheng Emperor, which was inadvertently discovered in the court when Puyi was young, exposing a secret.
Puyi was only emperor for three years and was forced to abdicate, but he was still young and did not understand these things. Some things were handled by Empress Longyu. Yuan Shikai and the Qing Dynasty signed an agreement on the descendants of the royal family. You can also live in the palace, so Puyi grew up in the palace,
Puyi's younger brother is called Pujie, the two brothers ran around in the palace, ran to a small temple, everything was messy, no one cleaned up, Puyi came here very curious, found a shrine, dust everywhere, curiosity prompted him to open it.
Found that there is a piece of yellow paper wrapped in things, the ancient yellow paper can only be used by the imperial family, and this is the emperor's unique color, Puyi also understood, they are curious, what is inside, after opening, found that there is a private letter from the Qianlong Emperor, warning posterity not to open it.
But Puyi and Pujie are children after all. They were curious. Just open it. However, everything in it has nothing to do with Qianlong, but with the Yongzheng Emperor. This is the secret edict left by Yongzheng.
The secret edict says that the suzerainty secretly poisoned Yun Yu and Yun Yu, but the annals of history do not say that the Yongzheng Emperor killed his brother, and only locked up his brother when Yongzheng was in power that year. Regarding the cause of death of the old eight and nine, the history books say that they died of diarrhea and vomiting.
So the image of Yongzheng, so there are some stains, I have to say that the affection of the ancient royal family really is nothing.
Let's look at this secret edict again. It is estimated that because the Yongzheng Emperor was afraid of his position, he was not at ease with his position, so he decided to simply kill them. Qianlong stamped his own seal, probably to protect his father's good image. Puyi knew about this matter, and also knew that it was very serious, and told his brother not to say it, and the two people put the secret edict back.
Puyi later in the first half of his autobiography, briefly mentioned this matter, and later someone interviewed Pujie, in order to prove the authenticity of the matter, I have to say that there are secrets everywhere in the court, and the image of the Yongzheng Emperor also has stains.
