The youngest of the 13 emperors of the Nguyen Dynasty, the last Dynasty of Vietnam, was the New Emperor, who ascended the throne at the age of seven. He reigned from 1907 to 1916, deposed by the French after his struggle for Vietnamese independence during his reign, and he was made the patriotic Emperor of Vietnam. The picture shows the coronation ceremony of the Restoration Emperor on September 5, 1907.
The Restoration Emperor was originally named Nguyen Phuc Vinh Shan, and was the fifth son of Emperor Cheng Tai. In 1907, The Cheng Tai Emperor was deposed because he was reluctant to sign the official appointment letters of the French colonists. At that time, the French and the Nguyen Dynasty traitors helped the 7-year-old crown prince Vinh Shan ascend the throne, and Vinh Shan changed his name to Nguyen Phuc Hoang and set the era name as Restoration. The picture shows the Restoration Emperor ascending the throne in 1907 wearing a dragon robe on the emperor's throne.
The Restoration Emperor ascended the throne at a young age, completely puppet, and the power was in the hands of the French colonists and the traitors of the Nguyen Dynasty. At that time, Cheng Tai was forced to abdicate, and the young Weixin could not even give his father the title of Emperor Taishang, but could only be called The Emperor. The picture shows the Restoration Emperor (right) with his brother and two sisters.
The Restoration Emperor ascended the throne at a young age, but he was influenced by his father and always hoped to make Vietnam independent again and free from French colonization. For example, there is such a dialogue between the French priest and the 12-year-old Emperor of The Restoration of Vietnam, the priest: Rút ruột ông vua, tam phân thiên hạ. Only because of the lessons of his father Chengtai, the Restoration Emperor has always suppressed his dissatisfaction with the French colonists.
When the Restoration Emperor was 12 years old, the French (the envoy who supervised the Nguyen Dynasty) tried to dig up the Nguyen Dynasty Guo Temple, Tianmu Temple, in search of gold, and even wanted to dig up the Hue Royal Palace. Fortunately, in the end, the governor of French Indochina stopped it so that the Nguyen dynasty royal family was not humiliated. But this incident made the young Emperor hate the French. The picture shows the restoration of the new emperor in 1912 under the arrangement of the French to visit the palace.
Since the French attempted to dig for gold, the Restoration has been working hard to read Vietnamese and French documents, and is well aware of the large number of unequal treaties signed between Vietnam and France. At that time, the young Emperor Of Restoration thought of negotiating with France to change the equality treaty, but was finally rejected by the traitors of the Nguyen Dynasty, and the young Emperor of Restoration thought of another way.
After the Restoration Emperor waited for the opportunity to get rid of the status of puppet emperor, it happened that the First World War occurred, when the Vietnamese Guangfu Association was preparing to launch an uprising, and then the Southern GuangfuHui Chen Gaoyun and Cai Pin secretly contacted the Restoration, preparing to welcome the Restoration and revolt against the French. The incident was discovered by the French colonists, the uprising failed, and the Restoration Emperor was captured. At that time, the French were ready to let the Restoration Emperor serve as a puppet emperor in the palace, but the Restoration was tired of the puppet life and refused to be emperor. In the end, the French sent him and Cheng Tai to Reunion Island for exile, and the two emperors of Cheng Tai and Tai Were deposed.
Due to the high prestige of the Restoration Emperor, he was known as the Patriotic Emperor in Vietnamese history and rebelled against the Emperor.
