Original title: As the "king of the country", why can Puyi be buried in the royal cemetery after death? You may be thinking wrong

Speaking of "Aixin Jueluo Puyi", you will surely think of a series of labels such as "the last emperor", "the king of subjugation", "the last three-year-old emperor of the Qing Dynasty". It is also true that Pu Yi in history is indeed full of these labels that have nothing to do with him! Why did you say this?

We know that the last emperor of Puyi was Guangxu, and the next was Tongzhi. In terms of the legitimacy of the two, the legitimacy of Tongzhi is undoubtedly higher, because he is the son of Emperor Xianfeng, but Guangxu is not. Guangxu was the son of the seventh son of Emperor Daoguang, "Aixin Jueluo Yizhen". The reason why Guangxu was able to sit on the throne was because Cixi considered his mother as his own sister, and secondly because Tongzhi had no children.

Similarly, Puyi was not the son of Guangxu, but the son of "Zaifeng", the fifth son of Yizhen, but because Guangxu had no children, he passed him to Guangxu and took over as the throne.

So we can see that both Puyi and Guangxu were made by Empress Dowager Cixi. Guangxu has always been Cixi's puppet, but Puyi was not. After Puyi ascended the throne, the empress dowager Cixi died. But at this time the Qing Empire was dying, so only three years after Puyi's reign, the Qing Dynasty was destroyed!

Puyi announced his abdication, with the support of the government of the Republic of China, he continued to lead a "little imperial court"-style life, and basically had all the necessary regulations, but his freedom and rights were greatly restricted.

But such days did not last long. In 1924, Feng Yuxiang launched a coup in Beijing and officially kicked Puyi out of the Forbidden City!

After escaping from the Forbidden City, Puyi lived a life of displacement. On the one hand, the national army was pressing hard, and on the other hand, it had to deal with warlords and foreign forces. Finally, in order to restore, Puyi did not hesitate to collude with the Japanese, and even established the so-called "pseudo-Manchukuo" regime with the help of the Japanese.

On August 8, Republic of China 34, the Soviet Union declared war on Japan and attacked the "Manchukuo". The Japanese retreated and the Puppet Manchukuo regime declared its destruction. Pu Yi was also captured by the Soviet army on the run, and escorted to the Soviet Union as a prisoner of war.

On August 1, 1950, 263 "war criminals" from other Manchuria including Puyi were handed over to China by the Soviet government and sent to Fushun War Criminals Management Office for labor reform. In 1959, Puyi was pardoned and released from prison.

In 1964, Puyi was also transferred to the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference as a data commissioner, and also served as a member of the Fourth National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and a librarian of the Central Museum of Literature and History.

On October 17, 1967, Pu Yi died of uremia at the age of 61. After Puyi's death, she was buried in Babaoshan, but later moved to the "Hualong Royal Cemetery".

When you see here, you may ask: "As a ‘king of the dead’, why can Puyi be buried in the royal cemetery after death?"

Actually, you may be wrong. The "Hualong Royal Cemetery" here is not the "Royal Cemetery" in the traditional sense. It is just because it is adjacent to the Chongling Mausoleum in the Western Qing Dynasty. Has its name.

This "Hualong Royal Cemetery" is a modern cemetery funded by Mr. Zhang Shiyi living abroad. In order to increase the popularity of this cemetery, expand its influence, and increase its benefits, Zhang Shiyi thought of relocating the ashes of the "last emperor" Puyi here.

Later, after his unremitting efforts, he finally touched Pu Yi's wife Li Shuxian and agreed to move Pu Yi's ashes in the Hualong Royal Cemetery.

On January 26, 1995, Li Shuxian came to the cemetery with Pu Yi's urn and placed it on the yellow thick satinThe Lingtai Mountain, after the memorial ceremony, was buried in the tomb!

11 years later, Puyi’s queen "Wanrong" and the "Xiang nobleman" Tan Yuling of the Puppet Manchukuo period were also buried in the Hualong Royal Cemetery. The tomb of Wanrong is on the left side of the tomb of Puyi. Ashes, but a photo! Tan Yuling's tomb is on the right of Puyi's tomb.

According to this tomb method, it can be seen that it still follows the characteristics of ancient royal tombs, that is, "Left is respected". Because Wanrong is a queen and has a higher status, it is on the left. As for Tan Yuling, she is just a nobleman with a lower status. , So on the right!
