"In the midst of the imperial chart hegemony, it is better to be drunk than life", which was originally a poem in martial arts novels, but if it is placed in the political changes of the late Qing Dynasty, it is unexpectedly fitted.
With the issuance of an abdication edict, the imperial industry that has lasted for thousands of years in China has completely collapsed, and the prestige of the imperial family has become an old dream of history, and it has also become the resource for the people of Li people in the tavern tea shop. Among them, Puyi, as the last emperor, is even more talked about by people.
Legend has it that in the vast Forbidden City, Puyi, as the emperor, did not feel the slightest ease and happiness, so that he developed a strange habit, until the age of 9, this quirk was still not overcome, and the palace women on the side faced Puyi's actions, surprised and wanted to laugh, so they had to turn their heads and dare not look directly.
So, what exactly is this quirk? In fact, this quirk has to start from Puyi's nursing mother Wang Shi.
The palace gate is as deep as the sea
Puyi's nursing mother surnamed Wang was originally a peasant woman, but in the late Qing Dynasty, successive years of natural disasters and man-made disasters made it difficult for ordinary people to survive, and the Wang family was also forced into a desperate situation. Fortunately, at this time, the Palace of Alcohol wanted to select a nursing mother for the newborn Puyi, and the Wang clan went to the call, and after layers of selection, successfully entered the palace and became Puyi's nursing mother.
After another three years, the political situation in the late Qing Dynasty once again underwent earth-shattering changes, and this great change directly changed the life of Puyi, who was only three years old. Empress Dowager Cixi was seriously ill and knew that her life would soon be over, but there was no heir to the throne. Cixi chose a circle among the heirs of the clan relatives, and finally chose Puyi of the Alcohol King's Palace.
In this way, Puyi's life trajectory was completely changed, from a child who did not understand the world in the royal palace to the heir of the Qing Dynasty that had already overturned most of the qing dynasty. The whole palace had mixed feelings about this, but they did not dare to disobey, only to look at the people in the palace and carry the young Puyi into the palace.
However, on the day that Puyi entered the palace, something changed. The ministers, along with the eunuchs in the palace, had been welcoming Puyi into the palace. However, at that time, Puyi was only a three-year-old child, and when he saw so many raw people at once, he was frightened and cried, and everyone around him was helpless.
At this time, the nursing mother Wang Shi, who was waiting in the back, heard Puyi's crying, and her heart could not bear it, so she boldly went forward and took Puyi in her arms to coax, Puyi entered the familiar embrace, and immediately quieted down and did not cry. When the ministers saw the situation, they had to let Wang Shi accompany Puyi into the palace.
In this way, the nursing mother Wang Shi entered the palace with Puyi. However, the imperial palace that the world is envious of is not a happy world for Puyi, and in the boundless loneliness, the nursing mother Wang Clan has become Puyi's only dependence.
The years in the palace are long
The Forbidden City Que, the Nine-Fold Palace, may be the goal of all sentient beings for a careerist who is keen on power, but for Puyi, who is only three years old, it is just a deep cage.
Although Cixi chose Puyi as the heir to the throne, she did not like this child. First, Cixi's temperament was not soft and she did not like children, and second, at this time, Cixi was sick and confused, and she could not divide her heart to care for this child who had just entered the palace. Therefore, puyi rarely met Cixi except when he first entered the palace and went to ask Cixi for peace once.
The other people who serve Puyi every day are just slaves in name, and they treat the future Tianzi thoughtfully and thoughtfully according to the rules and customs, but they will not and dare not show the slightest concern for Puyi. A three-year-old child, it is the time when he needs the most dependence and love, but he is suddenly thrown into the cold and empty palace, and the loneliness and fear in Puyi's heart can be imagined.
In this case, Puyi's dependence on the nursing mother Wang Clan who entered the palace with him became more and more obvious, and every time he saw the Wang Clan, he would plunge into the arms of the Wang Clan and lean on the Chest of the Wang Clan to suckle. Because in Puyi's heart, the Wang clan is the only person he is close to in this lonely deep palace, and the embrace of the Wang clan is the safest and warmest place.
In November 1908, Cixi and the Guangxu Emperor died one after another, and more than half a month later, Puyi was officially promoted to the dragon throne of Tianzi by the ministers. The ceremony of the Qing Emperor's accession to the throne was grand and magnificent, with a noisy ceremony and a tidal wave of people. At the enthronement ceremony, Puyi was frightened and cried, and after returning to the palace, he could not wait to enter the arms of the Wang family.
At this time, the ministers gradually realized that it did not seem to be a good thing that Tangtang Tianzi was so dependent on a nursing mother, and it turned out that the ministers' worries were not wrong, and Puyi's excessive dependence on the nursing mother slowly evolved into a quirk as he grew older.
Dependence becomes a quirk
For Xiao Puyi, the only way to seek comfort is to feed in the arms of the nursing mother. When Puyi was still a three-year-old child, such behavior naturally did not attract people's attention, but as Puyi grew up, it was still the same, and it could not help but be regarded as a quirk.
At the age of six, Puyi went to study and received a royal imperial education, and the time to see the nursing mother Wang clan was greatly reduced, but Puyi's dependence on the Wang clan did not decrease, but increased day by day. Every time I see the Wang family, I still can't help but throw myself into the arms of the Wang family and ask for milk to eat,
A six-year-old child breastfeeding is obviously a very absurd thing. However, this nursing child was no one else, but the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, so although the palace maids next to them felt strange, they did not dare to express their opinions. This situation continued until Puyi was nine years old.
After all, after the age of nine, it is not a child, it gradually grows into an adult, if you are so dependent on the nursing mother, or even pounce into the arms of the nursing mother to suckle, then where is the face of the royal family, and even the whole Daqing? So Empress Longyu secretly sent the Wang clan out of the palace without Puyi's knowledge.
Puyi, who left the Wang clan, completely became a lonely person in the Forbidden City, a huge palace, and there was no one who could be close and trustworthy. Until his twilight years, when Puyi wrote his memoirs, he still remembered his nursing mother, saying that I ate my nursing mother's milk until I was nine years old, and the nursing mother was the only person who allowed me to retain my humanity in the palace.
epilogue
There is no doubt that the palace is a place of stifling human nature, from the emperor to the slaves, in such a place, the nature of all people will be slowly consumed, strangled, and finally become a walking corpse under the feudal system. Puyi was lucky, at least before he was nine years old, there was another person who brought him the only warmth of his childhood with his care, so that he felt the temperature of humanity in the Forbidden City.
