After the death of Emperor Guangxu, did Zaifeng, a young and powerful man, have a chance to sit on the throne?

After the death of Guangxu, the three-year-old Puyi sat on the dragon chair and accepted the bows of civil and military officials. This is a bit similar to the Guangxu of the year. He became the emperor of the empire without knowing anything at all. This is really a person who sits and enjoys happiness. It's just that Pu Yi became the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty, which is really sad.

This is also a puzzle for many people. Although there are not many royal relatives and nobles in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, they don’t want to be as luxuriant as the Ming Dynasty, and it is not impossible to choose an older one. , The more capable emperor.

So many people say that, in fact, Puyi's father Zaifeng is a good choice. Zaifeng was the grandson of Emperor Xuanzong Daoguang of the Qing Dynasty, the fifth son of Prince Jin Aixinjueluo Yizhen, the younger brother of Guangxu, and the nephew of Cixi.

After the death of Emperor Guangxu, Zaifeng, who is young and rich, has a chance to sit on the throne?

The Qing Dynasty’s succession system to the throne is different from the previous dynasties. In the Qing Dynasty, we all know that it was a minority rule. The highest ruler was originally called Khan, and the Khan position may not be passed on to his own son. This is the same as the nomadic Mongolian early days. It was elected by the nobles.

After the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, it adopted the eldest son inheritance system. During the Kangxi period, the cruel nine sons seized the concubine and ended with the victory of the old Si Yinzhen. After Yinzhen ascended the throne, he was the Emperor of Yongzheng, and Yongzheng felt the cruelty of the nine sons taking over his sons, so he learned from the gains and losses of the Kangxi dynasty and created a secret reserve system.

In the late Qing Dynasty, Emperor Guangxu Zaiyun and Xuantong Emperor Puyi were determined by Empress Dowager Cixi, so it is called the establishment of Yizhi system.

One thing we have to know is that Puyi was chosen by Cixi, not by the minister after death.

Therefore, it is impossible to consider whether Zaifeng has a chance to sit on the throne. At least the first few are impossible to consider. The only chance is whether he can enter the eyes of Cixi.

When Zaifeng first appeared in front of everyone, it was already after the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded China. Because German envoy Klind was killed in Beijing during the Boxer Movement, the foreigners demanded the Qing Dynasty. Send someone to apologize, this person has to be a prince, so as to show the sincerity of Qing Dynasty.

As a result, the Qing court chose a circle and chose Zaifeng, who was only 18 years old. Zaifeng "successfully" completed his political mission, which made Cixi very satisfied. After that, Zaifeng served as the Manchu capital of Zhenghongqi and was also responsible for the affairs of Jianrui Camp.

It can also be seen that Cixi attaches great importance to it. But it is precisely because of this that he cannot be one of the choices. You must know that Cixi is a person with a strong desire for power, and she did not think that she would die at the time. Therefore, in order to hold the power firmly in her hands, she could only make a child emperor.

Another reason is also very important, and that is the emperor's identity after Guangxu.

We know that Tongzhi does not have a son, but the successor Guangxu belongs to the same generation as him. This is because Guangxu adopted Xianfeng at the time. In fact, someone proposed to establish an heir for Emperor Tongzhi and mentioned two candidates, Pu Kan and Pu Lun, but Cixi did not agree.

When Guangxu died, it would be inappropriate to choose from the "Zai" generation. We could only choose one from the "Pu" generation to give Tongzhi and Tie-Zi Guangxu, so that Emperor Tongzhi and Emperor Guangxu would After all, Cixi can continue to hold power in a fair way.

From these two points, Zaifeng has no chance to be emperor.
