Today in history| the last emperor Puyi was expelled from the palace

After the Beijing coup, the Beijing government amended the preferential conditions for the Qing Dynasty and expelled Puyi from the imperial palace on November 5, 1924

At 4 p.m. on November 5, 1924, the last emperor of the Qing Empire, Ai Xinjueluo Puyi, left the Forbidden City and became an ordinary commoner.

On November 3, the Nationalist Army disarmed the guards of Jingshan in the former Forbidden City and transferred them to Beiyuan to listen to the reorganization, which caused great trepidation in the Qing Room, so they secretly contacted the outside world to seek countermeasures. When Lu Zhonglin learned of this, he immediately reported it to Feng Yuxiang and Huang Hao, and pointed out: The expulsion of Puyi must be carried out as soon as possible, otherwise it will be afraid of change. Huang Yunai held an emergency cabinet meeting overnight, revised and discussed and approved the preferential conditions for the clearance room, and at the same time organized the Clean Room Aftermath Committee to deal with all matters after Puyi left the palace.

The modified clearance benefits are:

"The emperor of the present Qing Dynasty wants to implement the spirit of the republic of the five ethnic groups and does not want to violate the various rules and regulations of the Republic of China that still exist today, and hereby amends the preferential conditions for the Qing Dynasty as follows:

1. The Emperor Xuantong of the Qing Dynasty shall permanently abolish the title of Emperor with immediate effect and enjoy all the same rights as the people of the Republic of China in law.

2. Since the revision of these Conditions, the government of the Republic of China has subsidized 500,000 yuan per year for the qing households, and has specially spent 2 million yuan to open a factory for the poor people in Beijing, so as to take in the poor people of the flag first.

3. In accordance with the original preferential conditions, the Qing Dynasty shall be removed from the Forbidden Palace on the same day and shall be free to choose to live thereafter, but the Government of the Republic of China shall still bear the responsibility of protection.

4. The tombs of the Qing Dynasty's ancestral temples shall be enshrined forever and shall be properly protected by the Republic of China at its discretion.

5. All its private property shall be fully enjoyed by the Qing Dynasty and shall be protected by the Government of the Republic of China; all its public property shall be owned by the Government of the Republic of China. ”

After the emergency cabinet council revised and approved the preferential conditions for the clearance of the qing chamber, it was decided that Lu Zhonglin, commander-in-chief of the Beijing Garrison, Zhang Bi, the police chief, and Li Yuying, a well-known figure in society, would go to the Forbidden City to carry out the implementation. On the morning of the 5th, Lu, Zhang and Li met to discuss the steps. Zhang said: "This is a big thing, how many military police do you need to bring?" The deer replied, "Twenty military and police officers each is enough." "After the plan was decided, the military and police outside the Forbidden City were properly arranged, and after the telephone line was cut off, 20 military and police officers were led to enter the Shenwu Gate. At each gate, the military police were placed to monitor their guards on duty and were not allowed to move around. Lu, Zhang, and Li Jing tended to Puyi's residence. At the time of the "Imperial Front" meeting, Shao Ying, minister of internal affairs, greeted him, and Lu and others immediately showed the revised preferential conditions approved by the State Council, and informed them of their intentions, asking them to convey Puyi's immediate move out of the palace. Although Shao Ying was panicked, he still deliberately calmed down and said to Li Yuying, "Aren't you the son of the old minister Li Hongzao?" Why endure this? Lee laughed and did not answer. He also pointed to Lu Zhonglin and said, "Aren't you the family of the former Xianglu Chuanlin?" Why are we being persecuted like this? "Deer," you must know that we have come here to carry out the orders of the State Council for the sake of the Republic of China and at the same time for the sake of clearing the house, if it were not for us, then we would not have thought so calmly. Shao Ying also said: "Since I entered the customs clearance, I have been magnanimous and have not apologized to the people, and the conditions for preferential treatment are still there, so how can I do this?" The deer said, "You are speaking for the Qing Chamber."
