? Was Wanrong in poor health? Is Puyi and Wanrong's relationship broken? Or do the Japanese demand it? The truth of
may only be known to the parties involved, but from the piles of old paper in history, we can still glimpse one or two.
First of all, Wanrong's physical condition is sufficient to participate in various political activities.
In 1922, Puyi and Wanrong got married. After marriage, the two did not have a married life. The life of the Shen Gong compound was like a life under house arrest, which made Wan Rong feel empty and lonely. Reading, writing, and painting could not eliminate the depression in her heart. Indulged in the addiction to opium. During the Forbidden City period, she smoked eight cigarette bubbles after every meal.
By 1932, Wanrong's addiction to cigarettes was not so heavy.
In less than 4 months, from smuggling northeast China, seeking to see Puyi, meeting with Puyi to starting from Tanggangzi to Changchun, the overall physical condition of her was not bad.
attendant Li Guoxiong also recalled, "During Lushun and even the first years of the Puppet Manchukuo, (Wan Rong) did not look sick."
Besides, since it can withstand the hardships, why can't you participate in the activities related to Puyi's inauguration? From this point of view, Wan Rong's political neglect is not directly related to her health.
Second, Pu Yi did not completely neglect Wanrong's intentions.
Puyi’s indifference and alienation to Wanrong are related to Wanrong’s opium smoking and Puyi’s serious suspicion, but in a strict sense, the "Shu Fei Revolution" that began in 1931, Puyi almost aggravated all the hatred of divorce from Wenxiu. Yu Wanrong.
Puyi has admitted that "Since she squeezed Wenxiu away, I have disliked her, rarely talked to her, and didn't pay much attention to her affairs."
and "My First Half of Life" completed by Puyi first In the gray paper, the expression of Wanrong's attitude is more direct.
Wanrong was indeed at that time, and finally got the so-called "victory", and removed what she thought was the "pink in the eye", but my feelings for Wanrong turned out to be bad day by day.
In other words, during the period of the Puppet Manchukuo, with the passage of time, the relationship between Pu Yi and Wan Rong tended to be cold.
But emotional indifference is only a secondary reason for Wanrong's political neglect. Because Wanrong and Puyi have no relationship between husband and wife, let alone the reality of husband and wife.
But for an emperor, Wanrong’s existence is still of great significance :
First Puyi wants to prove that he is still a normal man.
In the Forbidden City, the rumor that Puyi could not do men and women was an open secret, and there were many different opinions. But Puyi still has to refute the rumors and pretend to show the affection of husband and wife to the next person.
Wanrong's personal eunuch Sun Yaoting once recalled that once Pu Yi hugged Wanrong on the kang and made him affectionate, he let him watch. He also said, "Pu Yi is trying her best to perfuse her (Wan Rong), and coming to Chuxiu Palace is purely out of consideration of external influence."
In short, Pu Yi, as the last emperor and Tianjin Yugong, needs Wan Rong to exist as a vase, as a pseudo The rule of Manchukuo and the emperor even had this demand.
The second is that Pu Yi needs Wanrong to help her realize the need to inherit the family and continue the blood.
Puyi took office as the puppet Manchukuo and still has great illusions about the restoration of the Qing Dynasty. On March 11, 1932, he made three vows in the presence of Chen Zengshou, secretary of the ruling government, and the last vow was "A prince will be handed down from heaven to inherit the foundation of the Qing Dynasty."
In the early days of the Puppet Manchukuo, the concubine beside Puyi There is only Wanrong alone, and she has no plans to accept her concubine. Puyi can only pin her hope of continuity of blood on Wanrong while taking injections and medicine.
Third, before and after taking office as the Puppet Manchukuo, Puyi is still trying his best to perfunctory and maintain the illusion of love between the imperial concubine and his wife.
Puyi decided to leave Dalian for the Northeast. Wanrong is an incidental motivation, "(Puyi) Hope throughThe change in living environment made Queen Qiuhong quit the habit of smoking opium. "After Puyi arrived in the Northeast, she immediately wrote to Wanrong, asking Wanrong to come to the Northeast as soon as possible, and sent Luo Zhenyu to the Dalian Port to wait. The whole process was very carefully arranged. During the short stay in Dalian for a few months, Puyi and Wanrong also had We went to the beach to fish for sea cucumbers and shells together. After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, Puyi also took Wanrong and her two younger sisters to drive to Datong Park to play.
These evidences show that the relationship between Puyi and Wanrong is gradually cold, but as far as Puyi is concerned, it is far from being reached. The point of rupture.
In addition, the Japanese side did not refuse Wanrong’s request to attend the event is also an example.
Puyi, as the puppet emperor of the puppet Manchukuo, is controlled and restrained by the Japanese Kwantung Army in everything, but as far as Japan is concerned, In the arrangement of political activities, it seems that there are no special requirements for Wanrong not to attend or show up. On the contrary, the importance of Wanrong’s identity as a “queen” is particularly valued on many important occasions.
Japan’s various arrangements have policy continuity, even in the court. After the scandal was exposed, the commander of the Kwantung Army in Japan, Ryokarakataka, did not allow Puyi and Wanrong to divorce and drove Wanrong out of the palace. Therefore, Wanrong’s political coldness in the early days of the Puppet Manchukuo had no direct relationship with the Japanese.
from health Judging from factors, Puyi and the attitude of the Japanese, there is no need to neglect Wanrong politically. All signs of indicate that Wanrong's neglect is more due to her own personality and attitude.
makes Wanrong cold. Unique thought and character
Wanrong is a well-known lady born in a Manchu aristocratic family. She has been influenced and restrained by feudal ethics since she was a child. At the same time, her long-term life in Tianjin and Beijing has made Wanrong come into contact with the Western lifestyle again. Affected by it.
Wanrong, which is both Chinese and Western, traditional and open, formed her special ideological understanding:
first is freedom of thought and relatively independent personality. When
lived in the Forbidden City, she appeared very modern. , Watching movies, riding bicycles, eating Western food, playing piano, learning English, riding motorcycles, etc., and bravely trying new things in the West, showing a very obvious tendency to Westernize thought.
quoted the American Brackney in "Life as a puppet" "The Poor Worm Yi Puyi" describes Wan Rong, "Although she was born in a noble family, her father changed business. She is a beautiful Manchurian beauty. She and the emperor are very ideological, and like him, she has received a new Western education, and she has also adopted a foreign name called Elizabeth".
She wrote a lot in English to Puyi in the palace. The text message was very disgusting to the imprisonment of the ten-meter-high palace wall in the Forbidden City, which also had a big impact on Pu Yi.
Pu Yi later recalled: "At this time, I have gradually become tired of that kind of court life. I always want to see the fresh scenery outside the Forbidden City. "Z1z
Two is that Wanrong values her "Queen" status very much.
Aixinjueluo Hengxiang-Guobro Wanrong's biological mother
Although she is a woman deeply educated and influenced by Western civilization, traditional culture treats her The influence was so deep that she paid special attention to the identity of this feudal "queen", which was very obvious in the Forbidden City, Tianjin and Puppet Manchukuo periods.
Puyi's big wedding, according to the old rule, Shu Fei Wenxiu should be in When the queen entered the palace, she bowed and greeted her, but Pu Yi's decree eliminated Wenxiu's bow and welcoming ceremony, which caused Wanrong's great displeasure. On the night of the wedding of
, according to the newspaper report at the time: The implementation of retreatism, refusal to Xuantong will have no way to enter the boudoir. "Z1z
Wanrong's unhappiness, of course, does not rule out that she opposed the idea of Wenxiu as a concubine. But in light of the fact that Wanrong was at odds with Wenxiu, she was more overbearing, and from the actual situation that everything must be overwhelming Wenxiu, Wanrong still values this very much Queen's identity.
In addition, Pu Yi also held the same view. Pu Yi recalled: "She would rather be a named wife than lose her identity as a'Queen'. "Even if she suddenly wanted to open it, she also thought about divorce. Her situation is different from Wenxiu. Wenxiu can find some support power from relatives and friends, and Wanrong's father, brother and master will not support her. , I'm afraid I will addBlock, even apply pressure.
In addition, what kind of attitude does Wanrong hold towards Manchukuo? There is no direct historical data to prove it, but from many historical events, we can see the clues:
Wan Rong did not feel bad about coming to the Northeast and coming to Puyi at first, but was just seeing clearly the essence of the "Manchukuo" and the pseudo-Manchukuo. Later, she didn't agree with the identity of the puppet queen of the "Manchukuo" and struggled.
After Puyi left Tianjin, Wan Rong felt lonely and helpless. She cried and complained to her attendant Li Guoxiong, "The emperor is gone, and the prince is not coming. Who cares if you leave me here?" So she learned that Puyi had gone to the northeast. Later, Wan Rong also eagerly thought of the Northeast, and went to Pu Yi.
The first thing that dealt a great blow to Wanrong was when she was escorted by Yoshiko Kawashima to Dalian. Wanrong’s brother Runqi was very familiar with the Japanese soldiers and privately acquiesced in the Japanese officers rape Wanrong in the cabin at night. , This greatly stimulated Wanrong mentally. After
arrived in Dalian, Wanrong was eagerly looking forward to seeing Puyi, but the Kwantung Army ordered that Wanrong was not allowed to go to Lushun to see Puyi. She thought that Puyi might be detained or conspired, so she cried and made a lot of noise and had to go to see Puyi. , Was able to meet, these experiences also made Wan Rong realize that Pu Yi was under the control of the Japanese, with no freedom of movement and freedom of speech, so Wan Rong concealed the rape.
After the founding of the Puppet Manchukuo, Wan Rong still cared about politics. There were seven or eight newspapers subscribed to "Shengjing Times" and "Datong News" in her study. In addition, the various events experienced by Puyi made Wanrong right. The puppet nature of "Manchukuo" has a clear understanding, and what Wanrong cannot tolerate most is the loss of freedom.
Wang Mintong-Wan Rong's cousin
Once, Pu Yi and Wan Rong took their two sisters to Datong Park to play. They were guarded by the Japanese military police as soon as they arrived at the entrance of the park. They persuaded them to go back under the pretext of safety.
In fact, there is another restriction placed on Wanrong's head. This one comes from Puyi’s distrust. According to Zhou Junshi, who worked in the imperial palace for a long time, Puyi sent his second sister to monitor Wanrong for a long time, and Wanrong noticed it. This kind of surveillance used to write the words "darkness in the palace" to the people around him.
After gaining a clear understanding of the "Manchukuo" and his own situation, Wanrong's desire to leave the Northeast became more and more intense. In May 1932, the League of Nations investigation team arrived in Dalian, and Wanrong sent someone to disguise as Gu Weijun, the Chinese representative of the Antiquities Merchants Secret Association, and requested Gu Weijun tried to help her escape from the northeast.
In August and September 1933, when Zhao Xinbo's wife was going to Japan at the Manchurian National Court, Wanrong asked her to help with the eastward journey. However, the incident was discovered by Sangege, who was in Japan at the time. Bubble.
Wanrong never found a chance to escape.
failed to escape. At the beginning of Wan Rong’s life in the Puppet Manchukuo’s palace, there was an atmosphere of “absurd and bizarre”. “Obviously, the system adopted was a pseudo-ruling system, but there was a pseudo-Datong reign. It was definitely not a restoration. But among the enemies and puppets at the time, many people referred to Puyi as the emperor." Similarly, Wan Rong also lives in the birth of the "Queen".
This kind of "queen" was born out of waste, and it was occasionally revealed because of the Japanese Kwantung Army's lack of regulations on the "ruling lady" and "Puppet Manchukuo".
In March 1934, Puyi proclaimed the emperor, and Prince Yongren from Chichibu Palace of Japan came to Changchun to congratulate Emperor Showa on behalf of Emperor Showa and asked Wanrong to meet together.
's Wanrong attendance this time was extremely uncoordinated. While wearing the Puppet Manchurian badge and ribbon, according to the old customs of the Qing Palace, she wore a palace-style phoenix crown and brocade robe. From the conversation between her and her servants, it was obvious that she was facing the Queen of Qing Dynasty. The treasure and attention of Phoenix Crown.
