have a beginning and an end, but the events they describe are not like that. ——Collingwood (English)
The Qing Dynasty, the last feudal dynasty in Chinese history, also came to an end with the sound of the 1911 Revolution. Thus, China's two thousand years of feudal monarchy ended. Looking back at these thousands of years of feudal dynasties, in fact, no matter in any dynasty, it seems that there is never a lack of Ming monarchs. Take the Qing Dynasty, the last dynasty of feudal society, as an example. There have been many kings in the history of the Qing Dynasty for nearly two hundred years, but the most famous and well-known ones can be counted with one hand. Among them, Kangxi, known as the first emperor of the ages, must be second to none. Of course, Yongzheng and Qianlong are also among the best Ming monarchs in Chinese history. The status and influence of Qianlong can be seen from the "Heyday of Kangxi and Qianlong". But you may have forgotten that there is also a very legendary emperor in the history of the Qing Dynasty, that is, Puyi, the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty.
Compared with other emperors in Chinese history, Puyi, as the last emperor of feudal society, had a rough life in his life. Puyi came to the throne in the precarious late Qing Dynasty. Because the rule of the late Qing Dynasty was dead in name and the current situation was abnormally turbulent, Puyi was kicked out of the throne less than three years after he became the throne. The throne of the emperor has since become the king of a generation of subjugation.
after Puyi abdicated, because even though he abdicated, he is still a member of the royal family after all, and his status is quite precious. After negotiations between the Empress Dowager Yulong and the Beiyang military government, they finally reached an agreement to allow Pu Yi to continue to live in the palace after her abdication. Continuing to live in the Forbidden City is tantamount to indirectly giving Pu Yi the hope of becoming emperor again, but there is only a lack of thrust in the middle. Therefore, after Zhang Xun’s braid army entered the Forbidden City, Pu Yi sat on the dragon chair again under Zhang Xun’s duress, but this time Pu Yi sat on the dragon chair for a shorter time than the first time. Even only a dozen days. As time went on, Feng Yuxiang's Northwest Army finally drove Puyi out of the palace after entering the Forbidden City in 1924, and a generation of emperors began a life of displacement.
In the eyes of posterity, the most stupid thing Feng Yuxiang did after entering the Forbidden City was to drive Puyi out of the palace. Because this gave the later Japanese an opportunity, after the fall of the three provinces in the Northeast, in order to revive the Qing dynasty, Puyi established Manchukuo in the northeast with the support of the Japanese and became emperor again by himself. In fact, as the last emperor, Pu Yi did not receive much insult from people. The reason why people later hated Pu Yi so much was because he became a puppet emperor with the support of the Japanese and thus embarked on the road of traitorous and prosperous. It was not until after liberation that China took Puyi back from the Soviet Union and put it in the War Criminals Management Office in Fushun.
Puyi also made a lot of jokes during the labor reform at the War Criminals Management Office in Fushun, because as the emperor of the feudal society, Puyi was spoiled and spoiled since childhood, so he could not even take care of basic life at the age of thirty. . Under the careful guidance of the management office, Puyi, who had been standing for years, finally learned to live on her own and began to invest in socialist construction after the founding of New China. After
came out of the management office, Pu Yi was assigned to work in the Beijing Botanical Garden. During the work in the Botanical Garden, once the Botanical Garden organized colleagues to visit the Forbidden City, and also asked Pu Yi to be a tour guide, because there really is no one more suitable than him. No one is more familiar with the Forbidden City than him.
has a deep affection for the Forbidden City Puyi, after all, he has lived and grown here for decades since he was a child. In the process of visiting the Forbidden City, Puyi has always had a heavy heart. After all, I will think of everything that happened here. I think that the glorious age created by my ancestors was destroyed here. Hands. Until I walked to Emperor Guangxu’s bedroom, I found that there was a picture of Prince Jin hanging on the head of his bed. Such a scene made Pu Yi’s heavy heart burst out in an instant. The excited Pu Yi found an expert theory from the Palace Museum and told him The person in the expert's photo is his father's queen. The expert was even more stunned and changed the photo in panic.
Pu Yi had already walked away slowly when the expert changed the photo. Walking in this once prosperous palace, I think Pu Yi's mood at that time was extremely complicated.
