In the thirty-fourth year of Guangxu, Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty died and was actually poisoned by Empress Dowager Cixi. After empress dowager Cixi's approval, Puyi, the son of Emperor Guangxu's half-brother Zaifeng, became the heir to the throne, inheriting the heir of Emperor Muzong and Emperor Zaichun and emperor Guangxu.
The regent Zaifeng and Puyi and Pujie brothers
Emperor Guangxu was the grandson of Emperor Xuanzong of Qing, Emperor Daoguang of The Qing Dynasty, but his biological father was not Emperor Xianfeng of Qingwenzong, but Emperor Xianfeng's half-brother, Yizhen the Prince of Shuoxian. Later, because Emperor Xianfeng's only surviving son, Emperor Tongzhi, was succeeded by Emperor Guangxu as his fourth great-in-law, Emperor Xianfeng, as his heir and inherited the throne. In addition to Zaifeng, the biological father of the Guangxu Emperor and Puyi, the Prince of Yizhen had five sons, of whom the eldest, the third, and the fourth died prematurely, and only the elder Liu Zaixun and the seventh Zaitao, who were compatriots with Zaifeng's mother, survived.
The last emperor Puyi's maternal grandfather, Prince Yizhen of Alcohol
Old Qizaitao did not say anything more, he had served as an adviser to the Ma Political Bureau of the Artillery Command after the founding of New China. Zaitao's younger son, Jin Congzheng (Pu Shi), is still alive and has appeared on several interview programs in recent years, and many people should know him. The second daughter, Kim Yoon-sung (Yun Hui), married Darizaya, the hereditary Prince of Alxa Banner, and participated in the "Alxa Banner Uprising" with her husband King Dawang during the Liberation War.
Zaitao, the seventh uncle of the last emperor Puyi
Here we mainly talk about Zaixun. Because he was a maternal compatriot of the regent Zaifeng and was Puyi's uncle, Zaixun was highly regarded in the late Qing Dynasty, serving as a minister of the navy (naval commander), and his title was the title of King of Jia County. After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, Zaixun went to Tianjin to become a Yugong and did not mix too much into politics. During the Fourteen-Year War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Zaixun, like his fifth brother Zaifeng and seventh brother Zaitao, maintained his due national integrity and did not turn to his nephew Puyi as a traitor, which is still quite commendable!
Zaixun, the sixth uncle of the last emperor Puyi
Zaixun has a son named Pu You, who, if related by blood, is the uncle and brother of Puyi. In the early years, Pu You married The Zahara clan, the daughter of Shilang Zengchong, but the two divorced in the twenty-third year of the Republic of China (1934). After the divorce, Pu You married the famous Peking Opera actress Xue Yanqin (real name Huang Yongni). At that time, although the Qing Dynasty had been destroyed for more than twenty years, as the grandson of Prince Shuoxian and Puyi's uncle and brother, Pu you actually married a "drama"! This still stirred up a lot of waves among the members of the Aisin Kyora family, and the entire Aisin Kyora family was quite dismissive of it, and even "spurned"... But Pu You is still going his own way, anyway, the Great Qing and the Zongren Mansion are gone, and no one can do anything to him!
The granddaughter-in-law of Prince Yizhen of Alcohol, the famous Peking Opera actress Xue Yanqin
After marriage, Pu You and Xue Yanqin gave birth to a son. Because he could not get the approval of the Ai XinJue Luo family, this son could only follow his mother's surname and take the name Huang Shihua. Although there is no surname of Aisin Kyora, nor the word Yu, blood can never be changed! It is an indisputable fact that Huang Shihua is the great-grandson of Prince Shuoxian and the cousin of Puyi.
Famous Peking Opera actor Huang Shijun
Perhaps influenced by his mother, Huang Shijun later stepped onto the Peking Opera stage and became a famous Peking Opera actor, focusing on Lao Sheng. In his later years, Huang Shijun also actively participated in the "Chinese Peking Opera Audio and Video Project", successively supporting the main supporting roles of hundreds of plays, with excellent results. The grand nephew and great-grandson of YiZhen the Prince of Alcohol, actually became a "drama" despised by the ancient Chinese high society, which can also be regarded as a great irony of feudal society and the Qing Dynasty...
