Since ancient times, the emperor has been a high-risk profession. In addition to spending energy to balance the group of ministers in the court, he also has to spend energy to take care of the group of concubines in the harem.
In this case, when the emperor was able to live a long time, most of them achieved remarkable achievements. People who are not good at it, let alone dealing with the court, can't cope with these things simply in the harem.
As the last emperor in history, Pu Yi had a very pitiful life. Not only was the inheritance of his ancestors lost in his hands, but he also failed to leave a son and a half daughter. The decline of the Qing Dynasty, in addition to historical reasons, also has a lot to do with these emperors in the late Qing Dynasty.
The emperor is not in good health, the regime has changed many times, the little emperor is frequent, there is a shortage of heirs, and there is a Cixi in the late Qing Dynasty who can stabilize the situation, but as soon as Cixi died, the Qing Dynasty lost the last straw.
Pu Yi later wrote a book "The First Half of My Life" to describe the events he had experienced in his life. It also recorded the incident between him and Wanrong, which also became another pain point for Pu Yi.
The first half of Pu Yi's dramatized life
After the death of Guangxu and Cixi, the Qing Dynasty began to enter turmoil again, but the Empress Dowager Cixi had already arranged the aftermath before her death. Guangxu's health was also not very good, and he had no heirs after his death, so Cixi chose Pu Yi as the next emperor of the Qing Dynasty.
The 3-year-old Pu Yi was elected, on the one hand, because of his age, after all, the little emperor is easy to manage, and the Empress Dowager Longyu can listen to the government again. On the other hand, it is still because Pu Yi is the grandson of Cixi's sister, and the son of Ronglu's daughter, that is, her godgrandson.
Based on the above reasons, Pu Yi was lucky to be elected as the emperor of Xuantong, and the world originally thought that the Qing Dynasty could survive for a while, but they did not expect that Pu Yi was ousted from the throne not long after he ascended the throne.
Fortunately, the preferential policies of the relevant departments of the Republic of China for the Qing royal family, Pu Yi and the Empress Dowager Longyu are still doing well. Pu Yi can also completely let go of himself, and has become a fragrant bait that the palace maids compete for, after all, Pu Yi is not married, if he is lucky, he can give birth to a son and a half daughter for Pu Yi early, and the glory and wealth of this life will be stable.
As a result, the young Pu Yi was injured and hurt his vitality. When he reached marriageable age, the concubines began to look for beautiful women for him and fill the harem. At first, there were two candidates, one was Wenxiu and the other was Wanrong.
Pu Yi himself likes embroidery, but Concubine Duankang likes Wanrong, and as a result, Wanrong eventually became the queen, and Wenxiu also became a concubine.
After Pu Yi got married, life was not happy
After Pu Yi got married, he realized that he couldn't go to the same room, so in order to avoid embarrassment, Pu Yi went to sleep in the next room on the night of his wedding.
This kind of day passed for several years, in August 1931, Wen Xiu finally couldn't help it, and with the encouragement of her sister Wen Shan, Wen Xiu decided to sue Pu Yi for divorce, the reason was simple and direct:
In the nine years of the emperor, he did not receive a single luck, and he was alone, abused, and unbearable.
If she didn't get a divorce, Pu Yi would have to go to her place once a month to live together, otherwise they would meet in court.
Pu Yi was very hurt, and he was also a person who had been an emperor, so he still had to take care of his face. So Pu Yi reached a divorce agreement with Wenxiu, paying 55,000 yuan in compensation, and Wenxiu was completely out of the sea of suffering.
This thing is afraid of rhythm, Wenxiu successfully got out of the sea of suffering, and also played an exemplary role for Wanrong. But just when Wanrong was making a fuss and wanted a divorce, the news of Wanrong's derailment came.
Wanrong went out of the wall many times and became pregnant
Wen Xiu couldn't stand it and filed for divorce, and Wanrong naturally wanted to take the medicine according to the prescription, but Wanrong was the nominal queen after all, and neither her brother nor her father agreed to let Wanrong divorce.
But at this point, Brother Wanrong came up with a bad idea for her for the sake of her sister's happiness, that is, to find a good person to relieve her loneliness.
But Wanrong is in the deep palace compound, and the people she can contact are limited. So, her brother began to help her match. After all, the current Pu Yi is no longer the original emperor, and this group of people have begun to take Pu Yi seriously.
Wanrong's brother introduced the guard Li Sports to Wanrong, and the two fought hotly. Pu Yi naturally heard some rumors, but for the sake of face, he was embarrassed to debunk it, so he simply didn't do anything, and sent Li Tiyu out to study in the name of further study.
But this is not an effective means to solve the problem, after Li Sports was sent out, Wanrong began to have an ambiguous relationship with Qi Jizhong again. This one didn't look at it, and she was pregnant.
Love is a light, the green person panicked, after Pu Yi learned the news, he was furious, and the graceful child was not his own at all. So, on the day Wanrong gave birth to the baby, Pu Yi wanted to kill the baby. In addition, Pu Yi also wanted to kill Qi Jizhong, but considering the royal face, he still held back.
When Wanrong begged Pu Yi to spare her child, she asked that the child be secretly sent to Wanrong's brother to raise. Pu Yi was soft-hearted, so he agreed. Pu Yi recorded this incident in "The First Half of My Life", he did not kill the child, but gave it to someone else to raise on his behalf.
postscript
Pu Yi, as a man, Wanrong had an affair with someone else and became pregnant and gave birth to a child, and he was so angry that he wanted to kill Wanrong's child, we also understand.
But after all, this also has Pu Yi's own problems, presumably he also wanted to open it, so he finally let Wanrong and her child go, but Wanrong still died in loneliness and loneliness, and Wanrong still became a tragedy.
