Puyi, as the last emperor in Chinese history, is definitely one of the celebrities in modern history, compared with his younger brother Pujie is relatively low-key, but in fact, Pujie and his brother Puyi's fate is closely related, and the experiences of both of them are very tortuous.
In 1960, Pu Jie was granted amnesty as the second batch of war criminals, and he went to Premier Zhou to tell him about the pain of missing his wife and children, hoping that Premier Zhou could help him.
Pu Jie
After premier Zhou saw the photo of his wife from Pujie' hand, he said that he could do his best to help them reunite with the family, but there was one condition.
What conditions did Premier Zhou propose? How did pujie's family disperse?
Released from prison in 1960, he wanted to take back his wife, who was still in Japan
The last emperor, Puyi, is not necessarily the most miserable emperor in Chinese history, but he is definitely a tortuous and bumpy emperor, and at the same time a very special emperor.
The "Restoration and Reform Law" angered Empress Dowager Cixi, who deposed the Guangxu Emperor, and before long, the young Puyi was ordered to be brought into the palace to be raised.
Empress Dowager Cixi
It is said that Puyi's grandmother fainted when she heard the news, puyi did not know, so she cried non-stop, and finally was carried into the palace by his nursing mother.
From the beginning of entering the palace, Puyi's life was twisted hard, and the identity of the "emperor" was so imposed on his head, this identity did not bring him happiness, but endless torture.
After the Xinhai Revolution, the feudal imperial system was overthrown, and Puyi basically had no power to speak of, only some social influence.
Later, in order to save the "ancestral inheritance" and restore the imperial system, he was seduced again, approached the Japanese, and embarked on the road of no return.
Puyi
In contrast, Puyi's younger brother Pujie is relatively better, because Pujie does not have the shackles of the identity of "emperor".
Although his life trajectory is equally tortuous, at least, he is not the person who faces all this directly, he just accompanies Puyi and helps Puyi share some pressure.
Even, Puyi once sent him to Study in Japan.
Compared with Puyi, Pujie is lucky, he has had a free life. However, both brothers have one thing in common, and that is marital unhappiness.
Photo of Puyi and Pujie
Puyi had five marriages in his life, as an emperor, marriage can not avoid being linked to politics, and in his five marriages, I am afraid that only the fifth marriage after getting rid of the identity of the "emperor" can be called happy.
Pu Jie and his wife Saga Hao are also politically married, at first he is very resistant, but later he cherishes this feeling.
In 1960, when Pu Was in prison, he told Premier Zhou that he had always missed his wife and hoped that Premier Zhou could help him.
Putting aside the identity of a war criminal, Pu Jie is actually a person with heavy feelings, he has been married twice in his life, and he is unwilling to give up on Saga Hao.
Pu Jie, Saga Hao and their daughter Huisheng
Who was Pu Jie's first marriage with? Why did you end up with Saga Hiroshi?
As a royal, he could not dominate his marriage
The reason why Pu Jie cherished his marriage with the Japanese woman Saga Hao so much was that it was not complicated to say, because his first marriage was too unfortunate.
Pu Jie's first wife was Tang Yiying.
Tang Yiying's personality is petite and domineering, has opinions, has ideas, and is not a peaceful woman.
Her origin is not simple, her ancestors had people who served as high-ranking officials in the Qing court, and her two aunts were married to the Guangxu Emperor as concubines, so Tang Yiying also had a "concubine dream".
Tang Yiying
In order to achieve her goal, Tang Yiying deliberately went to curry favor with her aunt, Concubine Jin, who was a concubine.
What Tang Yiying did not expect was that Concubine Jin had her own plans and did not fulfill her wishes.
After Puyi succeeded to the throne, Princess Jin obstructed, causing Tang Yiying to miss the opportunity to become a show girl and be selected as a concubine, and Princess Jin also personally designated her to marry Puyi's younger brother Pujie.
Yes, Pu Jie's first marriage came from this way, it was completely the result of the struggle between various relationships in the court, and such a marriage, no matter how unfortunate, was normal.
Concubine Jin
Pu Jie was unwilling to accept this kind of marriage, not to mention whether he liked Tang Yiying or not, and the mere fact that he was manipulated into marriage made him very uncomfortable.
However, being in the imperial family, or in the turbulent late Qing Dynasty, how could Pujie be tolerated?
In this way, the two were united, and it was not surprising that life after marriage was quite disharmonious.
First of all, Tang Yiying is unwilling to marry Pujie in her heart, she is a woman with a "concubine dream", and her biggest wish is to marry Puyi instead of Pujie.
Pu Jie, whether it is personality or status, can not satisfy Tang Yiying's inner vanity, she spends money and spends a lot of money, covets glory, yearns for a life on the top, and the temperament is debauched and does not like constraints, and pu Jie, whose personality is biased towards honest duty, is really difficult to run into.
Pu Jie
Pu Outstanding considered the overall situation, although dissatisfied with this marriage, but still tried his best to maintain, but he never expected that Tang Yiying would actually cheat!
Not only cheating, the object of Tang Yiying's derailment is still a figure with a head and a face - Zhang Xueliang.
Zhang Xueliang was the son of the warlord Zhang Zuolin, known as the "Young Marshal", who later launched the Xi'an Incident and forced Chiang Kai-shek to unite with the Communists to resist Japan.
Historically, Zhang Xueliang's contributions cannot be ignored, but from the perspective of personal private life, Zhang Xueliang's style is quite problematic. He can clearly distinguish between right and wrong, but after all, he is the son of a warlord, young and rich, and has the status of "young marshal", which is inevitable to be popular.
Chang
In 1926, Pu Jie met Zhang Xueliang at the Beijing Hotel, which became the fuse for the breakdown of his marriage.
At that time, Tang Yiying, who accompanied him at that time, first saw Zhang Xueliang and was deeply attracted by Zhang Xueliang's handsome appearance and dashing temperament.
She was not one of those traditional women who kept to herself, and her heart suddenly became restless.
Saying goodbye to Zhang Xueliang that day, Tang Yiying immediately arranged it as soon as she returned home.
The next day, when Zhang Xueliang was invited to come, he found that the wife took out a fairly thick newspaper, which was full of news about Zhang Xueliang.
Tang Yiying married Pu Jie
Tang Yiying expressed her affection to Zhang Xueliang in this seemingly euphemistic way, Zhang Xueliang was a person, and saw that Tang Yiying was full of talent and could write poetry and paint, so he mixed with her.
Later, Zhang Xueliang discovered how clever this woman was, and the poems and paintings she showed that day were not created by herself, and the heavy paper cuts were also made overnight to seduce herself.
Zhang Xueliang quickly recognized Tang Yiying's true face and felt that she was too "fake", and the two broke off their relationship.
Pu Jie, on the other hand, suffered a great humiliation, and the relationship between husband and wife broke down.
Pu Jie
Later, Puyi was ousted from power and went to the northeast "pseudo-Manchukuo" to join the Japanese, Pujie could not bear the burden of his brother alone, and chose to accompany him.
Tang Yiying took the opportunity to draw a clear line with Pu Jie, stole a large amount of property from Prince Shuo's palace without permission, and ran to Shanghai to live happily, and the relationship between the two husband and wife can be described as extinct in name only.
"Good marriage" also has true love
As soon as Tang Yiying left, she herself was happy, but Pu Jie had a shadow on the marriage from then on, planning to be lonely for the rest of her life.
After Pu Jie arrived in the "pseudo-Manchukuo", he fell into the quagmire of marriage.
The Japanese took advantage of Puyi's delusional desire to "restore the Qing Dynasty" to lure him and then reveal his true face.
Puyi found himself completely a "puppet", with only a superficial position and no real power to speak of.
Puyi
The Japanese only used his identity and fame, used his "orthodox" status, borrowed his hand, and achieved the goal of controlling China "in name only", and forced Puyi to do many things that harmed the country and insulted the ancestral lintel.
Puyi regretted it too late, although reluctantly, but in order to survive, he had to obey the Japanese, but there was one thing he insisted on refusing, that is, the Japanese wanted to have a "kind marriage" with him.
Puyi's previous marriages were not happy, he couldn't bear it, his attitude was very tough, and he refused to obey.
When the Japanese saw this, they changed their thinking and aimed at their brother Pujie.
Pu Jie almost collapsed after learning about it, he had already despaired of marriage, and if there was another political marriage, he simply did not want to live!
Pu Jie
Pu Jie even took out Tang Yiying as a shield for this, claiming that he already had a wife and could not remarry.
But this did not bother the Japanese, who sent people to Tang Yiying's home, forced her family to sign an admission that Tang Yiying and Pujie had divorced, and invited people from the local police station to testify as a legal guarantee.
In this way, Pu Jie was "divorced", and he was most likely the first person in modern history to be "divorced".
Under the arrangement of the Japanese, Pujie was told to be close to the Japanese Chinese, marquis Saga Shikatsu's Senjin Saga Hao, in the place of Pujie's grandfather's home.
Pu Jie and Saga Hao
That day, before meeting, Pu Jie's heart was very complicated, and the woman Saga Hao was even more resistant.
After the Meiji Restoration in Japan, people's thinking was also very different from tradition, and Saga Hiroshi was deeply disgusted by this kind of "kind marriage" arranged by elders.
Unexpectedly, the two people who were originally dissatisfied with each other in their hearts met each other at the moment of meeting, and they fell in love at first sight.
After some contact, Pu Jie found that the woman in front of him was dignified and beautiful, with poetry books in her belly, and she and her ex-wife Tang Yiying were one day and one place.
Hiroshi Saga
And Saga Hao was also deeply attracted by Pu Jie's handsome appearance and elegant and easy-going book aroma, and this blind date completed the two.
The two hit it off, formed a connection, married and married, and lived a happy life after marriage, so that Pujie simply had an unreal feeling, and did not expect that "harmonious marriage" also has true love!
Premier Zhou: You have to do her ideological work well
Saga Hao made up for Pu Jie's marital misfortune, and after marriage, the husband and wife were very happy with each other.
The Japanese achieved their goal and immediately forced Puyi to sign the Imperial Succession Law, according to which Saga Hao would be the heir to the emperor as long as he gave birth to a boy.
The Japanese attempted to control the heirs of the mixed bloodlines of the two countries, and later achieved their justifiable goal of manipulating China.

Unexpectedly, things did not go smoothly, and Saga Hao gave birth to two children in a row, all of whom were girls.
The Japanese were popular, but at that time they had not yet completed the purpose of invading And occupying China, and they were not anxious to do so, and Saga Hiroshi would always give birth to a boy.
With Zhang Xueliang's launch of the Xi'an Incident, the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communists in resisting Japan, and the unity of the people, the Japanese invasion war gradually failed, and they were busy dealing with the Kuomintang, gradually putting aside the affairs of Pujie and Saga Hao.
By 1945, the defeat of the Japanese in the war of aggression against China was already foreseeable, and the victory or defeat was basically determined.
Pu Jie had already predicted that in order to protect the safety of his family, he let Saga Hao and his two daughters go to Japan to hide first, and he did not expect that this distinction would be sixteen years long.
Pu Jie and Saga Hao
In August 1945, sensing that the situation was not good, the Puyi brothers planned to flee China, and the two brothers fled to Shenyang airport, but were found by the Soviet army and the two became prisoners.
The Soviet side knew that the identities of these two people were complicated, did not have too much embarrassment, and gave preferential treatment, although the two lost their personal freedom, they were not harassed.
Puyi was very entangled in his heart, he felt that once he was sent back to China, he would definitely be sentenced to death, and he applied to stay in the Soviet Union, but was rejected.
The Soviet side invited Puyi to attend a military tribunal to testify against the crimes of the Japanese aggressors, and Puyi was very cooperative, for no other reason than three points.
Puyi was captured by the Soviets
First, Puyi felt ashamed in his heart, as a Chinese, he took the initiative to turn to the Japanese, cooperated with the Japanese to do a lot of things that were sorry for the country, and he wanted to try his best to make up for it.
Second, he was afraid that the Chinese Communist Party would blame him, so he tried to help the Chinese side to testify, hoping to make a living.
Third, Puyi also had many dissatisfaction with the Japanese, when he was in puppet Manchukuo, the Japanese did not consult with him at all on many things, often forcing him to do things, and he had a long grudge in his heart.
Combining all this, Puyi presented in court what he knew about the crimes of the Japanese.
In 1950, the Soviet Union extradited the Puyi brothers back to China.
Puyi testified in court
Originally, the brothers thought they would be sentenced to death, but they never expected that the Communist Party was extremely tolerant, and the two were sent to prison as war criminals and participated in labor reform.
Chairman Mao also personally visited the two men and urged them to make good reforms and strive for leniency.
The party's tolerance made Puyi and Pujie brothers grateful, and both of them performed very well in prison, and during their time in prison, Pujie always missed his wife and children.
In 1959, Liu Shaoqi issued the "Amnesty Order of the People's Republic of China", and the first batch of war criminals to be pardoned included Puyi.
The party's amnesty decision shocked many people, and the Arrogance of the Communist Party impressed people at home and abroad.
Puyi was pardoned
The following year, Pujie was pardoned as a second batch of war criminals.
As early as the period of labor reform, Pu Jie missed his wife and children all the time.
His wife, Saga Hao, also missed her husband, and wrote a biography and wrote a book called "The Wandering Princess", expressing the pain of not being able to return to China to reunite with her husband.
The daughter of the two, Huisheng, once wrote to Premier Zhou Enlai to express his feelings of missing his father, and Premier Zhou Enlai was very touched.
China is a friendly country, even if there has been a war between the two countries, China has always adhered to the idea of promoting friendship and peace in all countries in the world, and does not want to expand hatred, so Premier Zhou is very willing to help them reunite their families.
Hiroshi Saga (right)
Not long after his release from prison, Pu Jie found Premier Zhou with a photo of his wife, hoping that Premier Zhou would help him reunite with his wife and children.
Premier Zhou agreed, but also put forward a condition, joking: "She can come back, but you must do her ideological work well and blow the 'pillow wind'!" ”
Pu Jie was grateful and said that he would definitely do his wife's ideological work.
In this way, Premier Zhou personally summoned Pujie's family, including Puyi, and proposed to let Saga Hao return.
Because of his past experience, Puyi hated the Japanese quite much, and together with others, he initially strongly opposed Saga Hao's coming to China.
But Premier Zhou patiently explained to him: "Since everyone here can be transformed to adapt to the new China, why can't we give Saga Hao a chance?" ”
On May 12, 1961, with the help of Premier Zhou, Saga Hao returned to China, and he and her husband were finally reunited, which was reported by the media and caused a lot of influence in China and Japan.
And Saga Hao did not disappoint her husband, actively adapted to life in China, and the family lived happily.
It can be seen from this incident that China is a friendly and tolerant country, premier Zhou is even more like the father of the country, and his care and generosity for Pujie's family reflect China's demeanor as a great power all along!
