If you want to talk about the miserable emperor of China, Puyi can definitely rank among the top, and he is very tragic in everything, his body, power, and family.
Since he was very young, he suffered from severe "kidney disease", so he lost his fertility and had no child of his own in his life; although he became the Emperor of Qing twice and the Emperor of Manchukuo once, he was actually just a puppet and never issued any effective decrees;
In 1922, he married one concubine in his wedding, and his concubine Wenxiu Later, he had a divorce with him, resulting in the loss of "royal face", and the queen Wanrong had an affair with his two guards Qi Jizhong and Li Yi, and gave birth to a daughter with Qi Jizhong. For Puyi, it is really a matter of family affairs, national affairs, and everything goes well.
What is more embarrassing is that he knew that the queen and the two guards had something wrong, but he was not qualified to deal with each other, so he could only give 400 oceans each to hush money. Qi Jizhong also made his fortune by relying on these 400 oceans. Later, he became a traitor and left billions of wealth for his family.
1908, two-year-old Puyi ascended the throne and became the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty, a young master who could not even recognize words, a shaky dynasty, everything was like a building that was about to collapse.
Three years later, Revolution broke out, The foundation of the Qing Dynasty was destroyed, and then under the pressure of Yuan Shikai and others, the Qing court issued the "Herbing of the Qing Emperor's Abdication HTML ", and Puyi's identity was no longer the emperor. However, Yuan Shikai still gave the royal family the right to continue living in the Forbidden City , and also allocated 4 million yuan of resettlement fees every year.
Puyi's living standard during this period was pretty good. He had a big marriage at the age of 14, but he had a bad body since he was a child, and he had no husband and wife with his concubine.
1924, Feng Yuxiang carried out a coup in Beijing, and all the Qing people were driven out of the Forbidden City. Puyi settled in Tianjin for a while. He felt angry and unwilling in his heart, but these emotions could not be released to the outside world, so he vented them to Wanrong and Wenxiu, which made the two gradually become distracted.
After the "September 18th" Incident , Puyi was pulled out by the Japanese invaders to become the emperor of Manchukuo. He was mainly responsible for winning over the hearts of the old and young people, and in fact he had no power. When Wenxiu learned that he had colluded with the Japanese, she flatly filed for divorce. It was a big controversy at that time, and Puyi paid a large amount of alimony before he finished the matter.
Wanrong has a more noble identity and a weaker temperament. Therefore, she was forced to follow her to the Northeast and became the queen of the pseudo-Manchukuo.
The queen and the emperor are actually very frustrated. They don’t have to pay attention to wherever they want to go, what clothes they wear, and what they see every day. The situation is not much better than being in jail.
Wanrong was only 25 years old at this time, and she was Ruhua’s age. She was restricted in movement and felt physically and mentally uncomfortable. According to the last eunuch in China, Sun Yaoting, the "Queen" Wanrong has many rules on weekdays. She must hold the basin while washing her hands, and even if the eunuch is holding a basin while smoking, she must hand it over on her knees.
Even when she was taking a shower, she didn't move much. She took off her clothes, washed her body, and put on clothes. Through all this, Wanrong's inner emptiness can also be seen. Later, in order to relieve loneliness, she gradually became addicted to the bad habit of smoking big smoke.
can smoke big smoke and can only satisfy her for a while. Those long periods are still particularly difficult. Therefore, under the threading of a person with ulterior motives, Wanrong and Puyi's personal guard Qi Jizhong have a different relationship.
Qi Jizhong is Puyi's confidant and has been following him for a long time. Puyi, the puppet Manchukuo emperor, often obeys the orders of the Japanese to attend some activities, and Wanrong is not involved in these activities. For safety, Puyi asked Qi Jizhong to protect Wanrong.
Wanrong will be particularly tired after smoking a lot of smoke. At this time, there is only Qi Jizhong around her. The lonely man and widow are living in the same room. What will inevitably happen over time. Qi Jizhong had a nickname called "Qi Dabian", which soon captured Wanrong's heart.
However, Puyi was unaware of this, and he also trusted Qi Jizhong in particular and invested to let Qi Jizhong study in Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School , hoping that he could better help him when he returned to China in the future.
Although Qi Jizhong was a little reluctant, he could not find a reason to refuse, so he had to travel east obediently.
At this time, Wanrong had already tasted the taste. Without Qi Jizhong, she got along with another guard of Puyi, Li Yi, but Puyi still didn't know at this time and still did things according to the Japanese orders every day.
. Puyi really realized that the fire broke out in the harem was in 1935. At this time, Qi Jizhong had already returned. Wanrong still liked the first man more and became pregnant not long after.
Naturally, there is no way to hide such a big thing from Puyi anymore. He knows that he has no fertility, so whose child belongs to? At first, Puyi thought it was done by the Japanese, but after checking, he found out that it was Qi Jizhong. At the same time, his other guard, Li Yi, also put a "hat" on him.
learned about this, Puyi was furious and quickly ordered to arrest Qi Jizhong and Li Yi. He originally wanted to kill someone, but he was afraid that rumors would be spread after the killing would affect the "royal face". Moreover, the Japanese did not agree to kill him, so he could only give Qi and Li a 400 hush fee each, so that the other party would not say anything randomly after going out.
Puyi originally wanted to divorce Wanrong, but he was also not allowed by the Japanese because the Japanese were worried that this would affect the image of the puppet Manchukuo Dynasty in the hearts of the people and be detrimental to their rule.
It is also sad to say. Puyi is obviously the emperor, but he does not even have the minimum freedom of marriage. He can only vent his anger on the child born to Wanrong and order the child to be thrown into the boiler and burned to death. After
, Wanrong's mental state was even more problematic. She remembered her daughter and became crazy. She was moody all day long and lived by smoking opium. Sometimes when she was awake, she also scolded her father for ruining her life in order to be the father-in-law. Finally, she died in 1946.
However, Wanrong and the adulterers lived a long life. After Li Yi was expelled, he lived an ordinary life and later entered a hospital in Beijing. After liberation, life was affected by the identity of the puppet Manchukuo in the past. After Puyi accepted the change and received pardon, Li Yi also visited Puyi.
Puyi is quite kind-hearted. Seeing that Li Yi was not doing well, he gave him some money, and his belly was not as good as that of ordinary people.
Another guard Qi Jizhong is more bold and shameless. He has had the experience of studying in Japan and can chat with some Japanese people, so he used 400 oceans to bribe Japanese officers to establish relationships and seek a puppet officer position. After the outbreak of the full-scale war of resistance, he went to North China to make accomplices for the tiger, with a lot of Chinese blood on his hands, and married a wife and had children.
After the Japanese invaders surrendered, he used the people's wealth and ointment that the puppet army had plundered in recent years to clear the relationship and avoid prison. He had some of the money left, so he used it to do timber business. At the same time, he bought a lot of houses in Beijing.
He is still very smart. He knows that he has a dark history and is afraid of being dug out, so he asked the whole family to change his name and buy those houses in the name of his children.
After the founding of New China, Qi Jizhong's former sinful identity was dug out. He had persecuted so many Chinese people, but in the end he did not escape a bullet of justice. Before the execution, the People's Liberation Army soldier asked him what else he wanted to say, but he didn't expect him to say something nonsense: is worth it, I'm too worth it in my life.
Some of his property were confiscated, and their children inherited a courtyard house in Beijing. According to the current price, their assets are over 100 million yuan. Qi Jizhong enjoyed a lot personally and could leave wealth to his children, so he said that he was worth it, but his personal value was based on persecuting the people. shameful!
