1931, the Japanese army launched the 
.18 Incident , and the entire three northeastern provinces became a colony of Japan. However, in order to confuse international audio-visual, the Japanese supported the Qing Dynasty and became the so-called "Manchukuo" emperor.
When Puyi was publicly invited to visit Japan in 1935, Emperor Hirohito gave him a super standard reception.
However, all the purpose of the Japanese was to plunder Northeast resources more conveniently, and Puyi later hated the Japanese's shameless behavior.
By 1945, Puyi became a prisoner of the Soviet army, while Emperor Hirohito had no choice but to declare the demise of the "Great Japanese Empire".
Puyi
Puyi has been trying to make a comeback, and once again became emperor with the help of Kuanto Army
mentions the last emperor of China, Aisin Gioro Puyi can be said to be a tragic figure. He is the great-grandson of Emperor Daoguang and the grandson of Prince Chunxian.
Medical Qing In the later period, not only did the national strength decline, but the royal family was unable to succeed, but Emperor Tongzhi and Emperor Guangxu Emperor had no children after their deaths.
1908, who was already dying in dying Cixi finally decided to make the 3-year-old Puyi the new emperor, and his father Zaifeng became the actual helmator of the Qing dynasty after Cixi. Puyi moved into , the Forbidden City, , and accepted congratulations from all officials on the throne of the emperor.
He just understood what was going on around him Revolution overthrew the Qing Dynasty, and Puyi continued to live in the Forbidden City in the 12 years afterwards.
On July 1, 1917, the Qing dynasty's remnant, Zhang Xun , launched a mutiny, and Puyi abdicated for the second time on the 13th.
Puyi
1920 came into contact with some foreign teachers, and Puyi realized that he, the emperor, was just entertaining himself in the Forbidden City.
Puyi has developed a very contradictory mentality since then. He was strongly dissatisfied with the old antiques around him in the late Qing Dynasty, and at the same time he enjoyed the pampering life of being an emperor.
1924 Feng Yuxiang sent Lu Zhonglin to drive Puyi out of the Forbidden City, and with the assistance of the Japanese Puyi came to Tianjin. Relying on the huge wealth transferred from the palace, Puyi lived a life of rich people in the Tianjin Concession District.
But deep down, he still regarded himself as an emperor, and some old and young people from the Qing Dynasty kept instilling in Puyi that the general public still missed the Qing emperor. After Puyi left the palace, Japanese public opinion expressed sympathy, which made him feel that the Japanese would fully support him to return to the throne.
puyi
928 Sun Dianying hijacked tombs in the Eastern Qing Dynasty but did not receive sanctions. Puyi was completely disappointed with National Government and became even more pro-Japanese.
In 1931, the Japanese Kwantung Army launched the September 18 Incident and occupied the entire three northeastern provinces in three months. However, the 9/18 Incident is essentially still the Kwantung Army's "independent journey", and the Japanese central government and military headquarters do not want to challenge the entire international community to gain Northeast China.
Therefore, at the end of September 1931, Japan quickly supported the pseudo-government of in the Northeast, trying to whitewash its crimes against China [1].
Puyi and others
Puyi had been hooking up with the Japanese for several years before. After careful research by the Kwantung Army's intelligence agencies, they believed that Puyi had no relationship with the authorities of the Republic of China that were ruling at that time, and there were still many people in the Northeast and Mongolia regions full of affection for the Qing royal family.
In this way, Puyi became the best candidate for the leader of the culprit regime in the Northeast. Puyi's dream of emperor that he had never let go of prompted him to voluntarily board the Japanese pirate ship.
In November 1931, the Japanese created chaos in Tianjin and brought Puyi out of Tianjin under the strict precautions of the National Government.
Puyi just came to the Northeast and the Japanese still maintained a hypocritical face, but on March 6, he forced Puyi to sign a secret agreement at Tanggangzi Hot Spring . On September 15, the two sides signed the official "" Protocol on 1st Day, and the Northeast lost all rights and became an actual colony of Japan.
Puyi
The Japanese prince congratulated Puyi ascended the throne, and the Kwantung Army arranged a visit to Japan in private
1932, the so-called "Manchukuo" claimed to adopt the republic system. Puyi became the "ruling man" on March 7[2]. But the Japanese obviously did not care whether the Chinese could enjoy a democratic republic. In 1934, they changed it to an "imperial".
However, among the ministries and commissions of the "Manchukuo" Central Government , the Japanese serve as the deputy head with real power.
Puyi soon discovered that the Prime Minister and ministers of various ministries were completely rubber stamps, and the gatherings of these Japanese deputy directors every Tuesday were the highest authority of the "Manchukuo".
Puyi was already disappointed at this time, but he still had unrealistic fantasies about Japanese Emperor Hirohito.
Emperor Hirohito
In June 1934, Emperor Hirohito sent his younger brother Chichibuku-Miya Prince Yongren to represent the royal family to congratulate Puyi on his ascension to the throne. Prince Yongren of Chichibu-Ming treated Puyi very well in all aspects during his time in the Northeast, which gave Puyi the illusion that he was a real emperor again.
However, before Prince Yongren of Chichibumiya returned to China, Puyi did not say that he would visit Japan, but in fact the Japanese royal family did not have such arrangements.
But the Kwantung Army was eager to prove to the international community that it launched the 9/18 Incident not to invade China, but to help some Chinese people establish their own country. So in July, he took his own initiative to consult the palace, hoping to arrange for Puyi to visit Japan.
Although Emperor Hirohito knew very well what the so-called "Emperor of Manchukuo" was, he quickly agreed to the request to welcome Puyi's visit to Japan.
Emperor Hirohito
In Emperor Hirohito's view, Puyi was not only once the supreme ruler of China, but his young and relatively good image also caters to the Japanese's inherent impression of the Chinese emperor.
And if you can improve Japan's international image by welcoming Puyi's visit, it will be beneficial for the whole of Japan.
So at the will of Emperor Hirohito, the Japanese Privy Council and the Noble Academy were dispatched, and diplomatic experts Lin Quanzhu formed a 14-person "reception committee" to specifically arrange the process of Puyi's visit to Japan.
Japanese Navy also took the initiative to send the battle cruiser "Hirui" representing the most powerful force of Japan at that time to go to Dalian as the ship for Puyi to Yokohama .
Only after everything was planned did the Kwantung Army officially send Puyi an "invitation" to Emperor Hirohito for his visit to Japan.
Puyi
Puyi was stunned and secretly happy for a moment.
He naturally felt humiliated by the Japanese carrying such a big move on his back, but at the same time he fantasized about getting the support of the Japanese emperor and raised his head in front of the Kanto Army.
Although an old minister stopped him on the grounds that "divination shows that travel is not good", at this time, even if Puyi wanted to say "no" the Japanese, he would not give him a chance.
Puyi first took the train from Changchun all the way south to Dalian. Every station along the way was about the vast number of Chinese people forced by the East Army to welcome him. When he arrived at Dalian Port, Puyi boarded the "Hirui" and moved into a very comfortable cabin, but he also felt the crushing of Japan's strong military power over China.
Puyi and others
Puyi showed off in Japan, but behind it was full of helplessness
The Hiei arrived at Yokihama Port on April 6, under the escort of several warships, and Puyi saw a more spectacular welcome crowd than Dalian [3].
Under the arrangement of the government, these Japanese people held the flags of Japan and "Manchuria" and shouted "warm welcome" in Japanese.
After reviewing the Japanese guard of honor, Puyi boarded the special train and arrived in Tokyo at 11 a.m., Hirohito personally went to the station to greet Puyi and reviewed the cavalry forces together. Then he took the special carriage of the Japanese royal family to get to the Akasaka Ligu where the Japanese crown prince lived.
At around 4:30 pm, Emperor Hirohito and the Queen came to Akasaka Li Palace to officially meet Puyi.This can be said to be the first time Puyi saw the foreign head of state three times ascended the throne, and Hirohito also saw the Chinese "emperor".
Hyuhito
The two talked about everything in a false and enthusiastic atmosphere. To outsiders, they were the heads of state with completely equal status.
At around 6 pm Hirohito officially hosted Puyi at the Japanese Palace again. Many princes of the Japanese royal family, major officials of the Japanese government and Puyi's entourage attended this absolutely luxurious feast.
Japanese media certainly took the opportunity to make a big fuss, it seems that Japan and "Manchukuo" have become brotherly countries. However, while Puyi felt the excessive enthusiasm of the Japanese royal family, he also felt that he was just a puppet.
Puyi later recalled this lively trip to Japan in "My First Half of Life", and felt the sadness of being forced to do so everywhere. Every activity he participated in and every word he said was arranged by the Japanese in advance. Many of his actions seem to express China-Japan friendship sincerely, but in fact they are a helpless "flattering up".
Puyi and Yuhien
For example, Puyi and Yuhien's mother Empress Zhenming After meeting, the two of them took a walk together. A Japanese reporter took a photo of Puyi supporting Queen Zhenming and made a big fuss:
Once, Puyi helped the Empress Dowager with his hands, which was the same as Puyi's support of his father Zaifeng to the steps in Changchun.
But Puyi later said that he had never helped his father, and he supported Queen Zhenming at that time was entirely out of flattery.
Puyi completed his trip to Japan. When she said goodbye to the palace, Empress Zhenming said, "Every time we see the sunset, we will think of the visit of Your Majesty." Puyi quickly said, "Every time we see the rising sun rise in the east, we will definitely recall the high expectations of His Majesty, the Empress and the Empress Dowager."
Puyi
Then Emperor Hirohito sent Prince Yongren of Chichibukumiya to send Puyi to Yokohama Port. Before leaving, Puyi shed shameful tears.
When he was on the "Hirui" to return to Dalian, Puyi was so excited that he wrote a seven-character poem: "Thousands of miles of marvelous vocabulary, the blue sky and the sky and the earth are in harmony. This trip is not only about the mountains and rivers, but the two countries are joining the alliance."
But at this time in Changchun, the Japanese were seizing the opportunity to further strengthen their control over the "Manchukuo". Before Puyi left, Japanese official Endo Yanaisha asked Puyi to prepare for a statement.
It was not until May 2 that Puyi issued the almost flattering "The Edict of Returning to the Imperial and Training the People" in Changchun that marked the end of Puyi's trip to Japan.
Puyi and Hirohito
Puyi was renovated and got a new life. Hirohito escaped punishment but hurt Japan
Although the scene in Tokyo gave Puyi an illusion of being on par with Emperor Hirohito, as soon as he returned to Changchun, Japanese officials told him: "The commander of the Kwantung Army is equal to His Majesty's father."
At the same time, the attitude of Japanese officials towards him was as different from that of Tokyo, which made Puyi quickly realize the reality.
This so-called Manchukuo emperor was completely aware that he had no actual power at this time, and that all major events would be decided by the Japanese before he could stamp them as the emperor.
In May 1940, in order to go to Tokyo to welcome the "God of Amaterasu", Puyi visited Japan again for eight days.
Compared with five years ago, Puyi no longer wants to go to Japan at all. He only set out on the journey under the pressure of the "royal royal vane" Yoshioka Yasu.
Puyi
Puyi welcomed "Amaterasu God" back to Changchun and built a "tea temple" next to the "Imperial Palace". On the first and fifteenth day of every month, he would lead his ministers to pay homage to "Amaterasu God". What Puyi couldn't stand was that the Japanese did not allow him to worship the ancestors of Aisin Gioro , so he could only secretly worship his ancestors in secret rooms.
Moreover, the entire Manchukuo army was strictly controlled by the Japanese. In order to show a little self-esteem, Puyi recruited 300 people as his guard. But in the face of such legitimate demands, the Japanese still believe that they have touched their bottom line.
So Puyi was surprised to find that all his guards were taken away by the Kwantung Army.Later, without Puyi's consent, the Japanese forced the reduction of the guards and replaced them with a large number of pro-Japanese backbones.
Kanto Army
To some extent, the Japanese were also prescient. Puyi, who was extremely disappointed with the Japanese in 1941, was determined to escape. In Changchun at that time, in addition to the Japanese, there were also diplomatic institutions in "Manchuria". So Puyi secretly met with the "ambassador" of El Salvador and received support from the country's president for his exile.
However, when Puyi was preparing to take action, the Japanese eyeliner in his guard quickly reported to the Kwantung Army. From then on, Puyi was more closely controlled by the Kwantung Army, and his queen, Wanrong, became more and more serious because of this reason.
The Japanese even completely ignored the so-called diplomatic relations between the two countries and imposed sanctions on El Salvadorian diplomats.
Although Puyi was pampered as the emperor, not all the Chinese around him were Japanese lackeys. By 1944, the war situation in Japan began to be completely corrupt. As a result, the Kwantung Army accelerated its exploitation of the Northeast even more crazily, and Puyi continued to learn from the people around him that the suffering lives of the people in Northeast China lived.
Puyi
Other side, the Kwantung Army, who never took Puyi seriously, actually transferred the exploitation to the Qing nobles such as Puyi. Puyi had to repeatedly sign the Japanese's request to donate treasures in the palace.
Therefore, when the Soviet army suddenly attacked the Northeast on August 9, 1945, Puyi did not feel that there was any need for the "Manchukuo".
He just escaped all the way to Tonghua out of survival instinct. After being captured by the Soviet army, he immediately changed his attitude towards the Japanese.
On Far East Military Court Puyi accused the Japanese of 14 years of heinous crimes in the Northeast, leaving the Japanese lawyer who intended to excuse Puyi for Japan's invasion of China speechless.
In 1950, Puyi was deported to the Northeast by the Soviet Union and accepted the transformation of the people's government with other war criminals in Fushun War Criminals Management Office. Only then did Puyi realize that his pampering life over the years made him almost a useless person, and he also fully understood what the last emperor should do for the country and nation.
Puyi
1959 After Puyi was pardoned, he became a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, making due contributions to the study of the history of the late Qing Dynasty and the "Manchukuo".
In contrast, although Emperor Hirohito was the supreme ruler of Japan before 1945, he was also in deep panic on the eve of Japan's defeat.
For this reason, he approved the military department to coerce the people to carry out a crazy plan of "100 million total jade breaks". It was not until he found out that the United States would not execute him, but it was not until he found out that the so-called final battle edict was published on August 15.
MacArthur led the army into Tokyo and took the lead in expressing surrender, which also means that the entire Japan kneeled down in front of American . Americans quickly realized that Hirohito was the spiritual leader of Japan and used him to better transform Japan from a "hungry wolf" into a "pug".
Hyuhito
So even though many Japanese asked for the trial of Hirohito during Tokyo trial , MacArthur still managed to help him escape punishment.
Hirohito did not die until 1989, which can be said to have made all the victims of wars in various Asian countries feel angry.
The only comforting thing is that 1989 was the year when Japan's "bubble economy" collapsed.
Since then, Japan has no longer had the possibility of becoming a world-class country, and today it can only watch China become the new strongest in Asia.
