Childhood release self: I do not love antiques, love animals
Sudden throne
Name: Aixinjueluo·Puyi
Identity: the twelfth emperor of the Qing Dynasty, famous The Last Emperor.
was selected by Cixi as the successor of Guangxu when he was 3 years old, when Emperor Guangxu had passed away. Puyi was the nephew of Emperor Guangxu from a seniority perspective. As soon as the news that Puyi was emperor was passed back to the King's Mansion, it was all messed up. Especially Puyi's grandmother Liu Jia fainted after listening to the imperial decree. She knew in her heart that it was not a good job to be an emperor at this moment. Maybe the child's life would not be stable, but the emperor's order cannot be violated.
On the second day after the little emperor Puyi entered the palace, Cixi died of illness. Puyi became the emperor under the support of the empress of Guangxu, Longyu, who was already the queen dowager at that time, and the support of his biological father Zaifeng.

The precarious reign
At this time, the late Qing court was already precarious. Puyi really did the emperor for three years. When Puyi was six years old, the 1911 Revolution that caused a sensation across the country took place. The result of the final revolution was that the Qing court accepted the preferential treatment of the Qing Dynasty, and then the Empress Dowager Longyu announced that Puyi abdicated. It can be said that the thousand-year-old feudal monarchy collapsed.
The government of the Republic of China gave the royal family a preferential treatment, one of which stated that: the government of the Republic of China promised to pay the cleaning fee of 4 million taels every year, but this one was later changed After the new currency was issued, it was changed to 4 million yuan, but the government of the Republic of China has never paid this amount.
There is another point in the preferential conditions, that is, the government of the Republic of China agreed to temporarily reside in the Forbidden City, which was the last refuge of the Qing imperial family at that time. Therefore, in the imperial palace, everything has not changed much from the days when the Qing Dynasty was in power. Pu Yi was still in front of his emperor in the palace. The Qing imperial family continued to invite various emperors to teach him to read some traditional Chinese books.

But Pu Yi grew up getting bored with these daily lessons, especially those traditional Chinese subjects, and he disliked it very much.
Puyi was actually a child at that time, who liked to play and was naughty. So when Puyi was young, she often tried to play truant from school.
The practice is as follows:
Head hurts, call in sick.
even sent the imperial decree directly to give the teacher a holiday.
Puyi often skips classes and does not go to school, why go there? My favorite thing to do is to play with all kinds of animals, one day playing.
Fun facts: had a friendly exchange with the ants
His favorite place was a zoo in the palace at that time. In this zoo, there are some rare animals like camels and goshawks that pay tribute.
趣事: playing with your younger brother Pu Jie, chasing me and smashing the precious blue and white bottle without any care, then went to the zoo to see the goshawk.

Puyi in his childhood has a lot of quirks. In addition to his favorite animals, there is also a palace in the palace. The well-known secret is that Puyi was still breast-feeding when he was 9 years old, and he never left for a day.
Puyi said in "My First Half of Life", "The lactating mother is the only person in the palace who can keep me human. Now it seems that after the lactating mother is gone, there is no human person around me. And my humanity gradually disappeared after I was nine years old."
So the little emperor sucks milk, he is also very unknownChildhood is a secret. Puyi is very reluctant to mention this. He thinks this is a stain and cannot be used as a laughing stock.
Fun fact:
Eunuch Chief Zhang Qianhe bumped into Puyi's milk and hit the board.
In general, the mind of this little emperor was actually quite complicated. On the one hand, he was a bit contrary to the feudal ethics at the time, and on the other hand, he was deeply bound by these ideas. By the time Pu Yi was in his teens, his rebellious mentality became more serious, and no one in the palace could control him.
When he was a teenager, he was riding waste wood with first-class skills.
When he was nearly fifteen years old, there was a lot of discussion in the palace. The emperor is getting bigger and bigger. There are only two things that need to be dealt with. One thing is to learn to ride and shoot.
The importance of riding and shooting:
riding and shooting was the most indispensable skill of the Manchu clan at that time, and also a representative skill of the emperor. The Manchu was a nation that immediately won the world, and the emperor would not Riding and shooting, in their opinion, it is a waste.
Although the Qing Dynasty was destroyed, people were there and the palace was still there. So at that time, the Manchu nobles were all pushing the little emperor Pu Yi to learn how to ride and shoot.
But this little emperor has a lot of ideas. He thinks that these so-called traditional riding and shooting are of no use at all. He has seen advanced Western weapons in the foreign pictorial brought by the foreign teacher Johnston. It looks like a mirror in his heart, these riding shots are just superficial skills, in fact they are of no use at all.

So he didn’t want to learn at all, but in front of his father, Prince Jin Zaifeng, he couldn’t directly refuse. In this way, Pu Yi accepted the study plan by default.
At that time, every Mongolian prince and Tibetan living Buddha would go to the palace to pay tribute to good horses and camels, even if they arrived at the Xunqing court. However, the last emperor Guangxu was in poor health for a long time, and he was at odds with the Empress Dowager Cixi. He was always in conflict and was imprisoned in Yingtai in Zhongnanhai for a long time.
In this way, Shangsi Yard has a chance, and often sells those good horses to those black markets, exchanges for a bad horse, and uses it as a shoddy horse to benefit from it. But when Pu Yi was practicing riding and shooting, the incident was revealed, and the corrupt officials hurriedly sent people to various markets to find a good horse, and finally found an "honest silly horse".
The most pleasant thing is that a full eight equestrian instructors were sent to teach us this little emperor to ride horses. But Pu Yi was very dissatisfied with this honest horse, because as soon as Pu Yi got on the horse and whipped it with a whip, the horse quickly got up and almost fell to the little emperor. After that, Pu Yi became angry. What is this? Not learn! After that, I never touched horseback riding again, no one said it was useless.
Pu Yi didn't like riding horses. On the contrary, he was very interested in riding bicycles. It can be said that it set off the "bicycle fever" in the palace at that time.
The person who led Pu Yi to come into contact with this Western object has different opinions in history. Some people say it is Pu Yi’s younger brother Pu Jie, and it is also said that it is Pu Yi’s teacher, Johnston, and it is also said that Pu Yi’s childhood, and later the queen Wanrong's younger brother Runqi.
In short, Pu Yi came into contact with his first bicycle, which was a three-gun bicycle imported from a foreign country. Pu Yi was very happy and fresh after seeing this bicycle! Especially when he saw that a person riding this two-wheeled thing could actually walk, he became even more curious.

So Pu Yi clamored to learn to ride a bicycle. The eunuchs and court ladies around him were all frightened, for fear that Pu Yi would fall while studying. . In the end, there was no way, the palace had to spend 100 yuan to hire a master to teach Pu Yi to ride a bicycle.
Puyi has been riding a bicycle every day since she learned to ride a bicycleWandering in the palace, that is when the problem arises, the threshold of the palace gate is too obstructive, and you can't ride a bike. So Pu Yi ordered all the thresholds to be cut off in order to ride a bicycle.
In 1993, the Palace Museum conducted an investigation and stated that there were no less than 30 thresholds sawn off by Puyi.
In addition to his love to ride bicycles, Puyi also likes to ride motorcycles and tricycles. He also took old wives in the palace and began to enjoy cycling. He himself enjoyed cycling. happy.

Not only did he learn to drive, Puyi also cut his braids, put on a suit and glasses, and it was nothing like the dress of progressive youth during the Republic of China. In the same way, in the imperial palace at that time, these were all major events that violated the ancestral system, but the emperor was very happy.
