As the last emperor, Puyi's life experience can be regarded as bumpy. After a few years as a puppet emperor, he was driven out of the Forbidden City by warlords. Because he was not reconciled, he was used by the Japanese and became the emperor of Manchuria. Not only did he not enjoy the power that the emperor should have, but he became a puppet of the Japanese again.
In the second year when Puyi became the emperor of Manchuria, he embarked on a journey to Japan. During this visit, Puyi enjoyed the generous treatment he had never experienced in his life, which made Puyi very flattered. A request was made to Japan.
On this day, Emperor Hirohito’s mother invited Puyi to take a walk, and by the way, take Puyi to visit the magnificent Japanese imperial palace. Puyi looked at the Japanese imperial palace. It was far from the Forbidden City in terms of specifications and luxury, but he, of course, as a guest, could not speak bluntly, so he praised the Japanese imperial palace in clever language and made Emperor Hirohito’s mother I am very satisfied.
The two of them were walking and chatting. The more they talked, the happier they were. So Puyi made a request, hoping that Emperor Hirohito could adopt the eldest daughter as her daughter. After hearing this, Emperor Hirohito’s mother didn’t know how In response, you can only divert the topic.
After the emperor knew about it that night, he did not show any dissatisfaction, but commented, "People will inevitably have dissatisfaction and their own desires. So anyway, the emperor of Manchuria The performance is natural and normal, and worthy of sympathy.”
There is of course a reason for such a sympathy. Hirohito and his wife Ryoko married in 1924, and only had a son after nine years of marriage. In 1989, Emperor Hirohito's wife gave birth to 4 daughters, and the second daughter died early due to sepsis. There have been rumors in the palace that he wants his younger brother to succeed, because he has no son, and the royal family cannot be cut off in his hands. Fortunately, a boy was born later, which prevented this big crisis.
Emperor Hirohito knew that Puyi could not have children, so his situation was more miserable than his own. Therefore, Puyi's gratitude still touched Hirohito, and it was difficult to refuse for a while. However, Hirohito could only repay his sympathy, but in the end he did not agree to give him a daughter.
