Every dynasty in Chinese history is full of blood and killing, and most of the so-called last emperors of the previous dynasties have tragic fate. For example, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was hanged to death in the palace, and the post-Lord Li Yu of the Southern Tang Dynasty was poisoned to death by poisoned liquor , The last emperor of the Ming Dynasty was killed by the Qing army on his way to escape. But there is one exception. This is Puyi, the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty was the last dynasty of China’s feudal ruling dynasty. Because of the voluntary abdication of the last emperor Puyi at that time, the government of the Republic of China and the Qing imperial family signed the "Preferential Treatment for the Qing Dynasty Royal Family". Be the emperor in the Forbidden City, and all the properties in the palace belong to the individual.
In the early days of the Republic of China, Puyi was still respected as the emperor in the palace and had the status of emperor, so the usual life must be the same as luxury. At that time, the royal family plus the queen mother and the Puyi royal family still had six people, so let’s take the most basic diet. , The six people’s monthly expenditure on eating pork exceeded two thousand taels of silver, which was equivalent to the expenditure of an ordinary household for twenty years, and each year’s expenditure exceeded two million taels. It is an extremely terrifying data. The government of the Republic of China at the time was actually not rich. Coupled with the exploitation of various officials, there are very few things that actually came to Puyi, but they were used to living as an emperor. The level cannot be lowered. The royal family is often in a state of making ends meet, so they set their sights on the various valuable cultural relics in the palace. In the thirteenth year of the Republic of China, Puyi was expelled from the palace. According to special statistics, the royal family had The amount of cultural relics sold exceeded five million taels, and Pu Yi, who fled, not only took away about 110,000 taels of silver, but also nearly a hundred boxes of paintings, calligraphy, and treasures.
Puyi, who lives in the Tianjin concession, is not as luxurious as the imperial palace, but he can still live a prosperous life by selling the property. In 1935, Puyi took the remaining 70 boxes of treasures to the Northeast Puppet Government and lived there for ten years until the Japanese surrendered in 1945. Pu Yi took the remaining dozens of boxes of treasures and started his escape. The remaining treasures that could not be taken were looted and destroyed by soldiers who broke into the palace.
The journey of escape must be difficult. Except for some cultural relics used in exchange for food with the people on the road, a large part of them had to be discarded due to baggage restrictions when flying in Shenyang, and only the last was left. Two boxes. In the same year, Puyi was arrested by the Russians, and most of the cultural relics on his body were confiscated by the Russians. Of course, Puyi also privately hid a large number of small treasures such as diamonds and gems. Five years later, Puyi was extradited back to China and handed over more than 400 cultural relics to the country. This is also all the private property left by Puyi. Since that day, Aixinjue and Luo Puyi have not only lost the throne, nor have they brought out from the palace. property.
When the image of Pu Yi in his later years revisited the Forbidden City, he was told to buy a ticket, but he chose to leave this sad place. Either exchanged or looted have been lost and destroyed. Although these cultural relics belonged to the royal family at the time, they were all inherited from the Chinese heritage. This is also an irreparable regret in the history of Chinese cultural relics.
