If you use four words to describe the life of the last emperor Puyi , it would be "ups and downs". Pu Yi was born in the royal family. At the age of ignorance and ignorance, she was selected as the successor of the Qing Dynasty by Cixi . But the emperor didn't do it for two years before he saw the flames of the uprising. Soon after, the Qing Dynasty was gone. Originally, he could still live a comfortable life in the Forbidden City, but Feng Yuxiang entered Beijing and drove him out. Later, Puyi was taken hostage by the Japanese to the northeast and became the emperor of the puppet Manchukuo. After Japan was defeated and surrendered, Pu Yi also became a prisoner. Although Puyi seems to have failed in his life, he has set three "world records", which no one has broken so far.
Record 1: The only emperor in history who was sued by a concubine for divorce
In ancient Chinese history, the emperor is the supreme existence, and everyone has to obey his orders. The concubine was even more attached to the emperor and did not dare to have any disobedience to the emperor. But Pu Yi is an exception. Puyi has been married four times in her life and married five women. The first marriage was made by the young court of Xunqing and the four great concubines.

After Puyi reached the age of marriage, the Man Qing imperial family chose some girls of school age for him to enter the palace. Puyi hit the match at the beginning Wenxiu is the queen, but the four toffees think Wenxiu's family is poor and look bad, so Puyi has to choose again. Later, Guobuluo Wanrong was chosen as the queen. In order to be able to meet the queen, Wenxiu was canonized as a concubine Shu and entered the palace one day in advance.
Wanrong and Wenxiu
Between Wanrong and Wenxiu,Puyi is obviously biased towards Wanrong, which also led to the rupture of Wenxiu and Puyi's relationship. But Wenxiu sued Puyi for divorce, but not all because of this. After Feng Yuxiang entered Beijing, Puyi and her concubine were driven out of the palace. In order to win over Pu Yi, the Japanese promised to help him establish a new country in the Northeast. After Wenxiu learned of this, he persuaded Puyi not to listen to the lies of the Japanese. The Japanese conceal their evil intentions and will never help Pu Yi for no reason.

But Puyi has been brainwashed by the Japanese and can't listen to the words of Wenxiu at all, so he has been neglecting Wenxiu since then. When Puyi, Wenxiu and others lived in Tianjin, Yufen, the daughter of Wenxiu's cousin Yuzhang's cousin, came to Wenxiu's side. When Yufen learned of Wenxiu's misfortune, she encouraged her to boldly take up legal weapons, accuse Puyi of abusing his wife, divorce Puyi, and demand compensation.

Wenxiu is also a man of temperament, and Pu Yi is no longer the emperor, so Pu Yi is really brought to court. Puyi asked the lawyer to confront Wenxiu in court at the beginning. Later, feeling ashamed, he agreed to Wenxiu's divorce conditions. He also became the only emperor in Chinese history whose concubine sued for divorce (even though he was no longer the emperor at the time).
Record 2: The only emperor to be tried in a military court
There is an idiom in China called "the king loses the bandit". Many of the last emperors were either killed or imprisoned, and some were sealed off. Little knighthood, spend the second half of his life steadily. But the emperor who was tried in the military court was only Puyi. After Japan surrendered in 1945, Puyi originally planned to abscond from Japan, but was arrested by the Soviet Red Army at Fengtian Airport. After that, Puyi began his prison career.
Pu Yi attended the military court
In 1946,In order to convict the Japanese fascists, Puyi also attended the Far East International Military Tribunal as a witness. As a prisoner, attended the International Military Tribunal , which is unique in Chinese history. In court, Puyi claimed that during his time as the emperor of the Puppet Manchuria, he had been at the mercy of the Japanese occupation authorities and that many things were forced by the Japanese.

Record 3: The only emperor who was buried in the cemetery after his death
The ancient Chinese people die like a life, so they attach great importance to the afterlife. Many emperors started the construction of the imperial tombs at the beginning of their ascension. For example, the famous Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang was completed after 39 years of repairs. After the Manchus entered the Central Plains, they also built Qing Dong Mausoleum and Qingxi Mausoleum . Under normal circumstances, the emperor would be buried in the tomb after his death. But Puyi died in 1967, early in the morning, and he was no longer the emperor.

So in accordance with national laws, Puyi's body was cremated and buried in the Babaoshan Revolutionary Cemetery . Later, Puyi's widow, Li Shuxian , buried Puyi's ashes in Hualong Royal Cemetery , which is near the Qing Dynasty Tomb. Pu Yi finally ended his turbulent life.
