Tracing China: Through history, dialogue between ancient and modern

Chapter 289 Pu Yi's Life

Huang Taiji said coldly: "Puyi, you are the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty. Tell me, what did Hongli do to apologize to the Qing Empire?"

when speaking.

Huang Taiji glanced at Lin Feng from time to time.

However, he did not ask Lin Feng, who came from more than 200 years later, obviously because he had a grudge.

Maybe it's because Lin Feng is not a descendant of their ancient Manchus after all!
Lin Feng didn't care either. Now the camera was live broadcasting the whole process, and all modern audiences were watching. There was nothing wrong with him temporarily playing the role of an outsider.

"Puyi, how dare you not answer the old ancestor's words?" Huang Taiji said in a deep voice, Longyan was startled and furious, and there was a terrifying murderous aura on his face.

As the second emperor outside the pass.

Huang Taiji even dared to scold Kangxi, even Daoguang Xianfeng dared to overthrow him, his qualifications are there, what is he afraid to do?

Wearing presbyopic glasses and wearing a modern Chinese tunic suit, Puyi stood among the many emperors of the Qing Dynasty who wore dragon robes.

It looks extremely dazzling and exceptionally different.

"Old ancestor, Emperor Qianlong is also the ancestor of Puyi, the younger generation speaks arbitrarily of the ancestors, it is disrespectful!" Puyi replied with a troubled face.

Can he not be entangled?

Puyi's life has been full of ups and downs. He grew up in the imperial palace when he was young, experienced the ruin of the country, and was treated as a puppet by the Japanese country. After the most difficult days of the War of Resistance, he finally saw the birth of New China and became a member of New China. Scientific researchers, it can be said that they have done everything.

In his life, he might be nostalgic for life in the palace, and perhaps even more for the days of working in New China.

Huang Taiji was dissatisfied, and walked straight down, "You, how did you become the king of subjugation, can you tell me that?"

In Huang Taiji's eyes, there was a murderous look.

Lin Feng was really afraid that the second emperor of the Qing Dynasty, who was full of evil spirits, would break Pu Yi's neck.

"Father, God has the virtue of good life. When Puyi succeeded to the throne, he was only a few years old. His fate was like duckweed. We can't blame him for the collapse of our Qing Dynasty. Please calm down." Emperor Shunzhi said plead.

Kangxi also said, "Grandfather, Puyi has finally seen the new era, please spare his life!"

"Humph!"

Huang Taiji turned his head and glared at his son and grandson:
"You two, you still have the face to plead for others, my good son, you actually became a monk in your prime, and let a mere six-year-old Xuan Ye be the emperor, this account has not been settled with you yet!"

Shunzhi bowed his head and stopped talking.

"Old Ancestor, Puyi should talk endlessly..." Puyi didn't disobey this time, because he was afraid of implicating other people.

Tell the truth about my miserable and pitiful life journey.

Puyi's original name was Aixinjueluo Puyi, the last emperor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and his reign name was Xuantong.His life was miserable and pitiful.

In 1906 AD, that is, on the 32th day of the first lunar month in the 14nd year of Guangxu, he was born in Prince Chun's Mansion, BJ.Puyi at this time is far from aware that his future is inseparable from this country!
At this time, the late Qing Dynasty was already on the verge of collapse, and warlords from all over the country were fighting. In the winter of 1908, Puyi, who was less than three years old, was brought up in the Forbidden City.

The young Puyi refuses to enter the palace, it is right to think about it, a child of two or three years old is not willing to leave his parents, there is no way for Puyi's mother to send him to the palace in person!

Since then, Puyi has no childhood. On November 11th and 14th in the winter of the same year, Emperor Guangxu and Empress Dowager Cixi passed away one after another!

At this time, Puyi had already inherited the Datong, but he did not have a year name.

The young Puyi had no fun in the palace, no playmates, no childhood, no freedom.

In this way, a two-year-old child was supported as Emperor Xuantong, the last emperor of the late Qing Dynasty, and he was just a puppet.

Three years after Puyi inherited Datong in 1911, the Qing Dynasty officially designated this year as the Xuantong Year!

A group of eunuchs followed him every day, and even his biological mother could not meet him. Later, in order to draw Pu Yi closer, he arranged for his younger brother Pu Jie to enter the palace to play with him.

But the number of times is limited, so Puyi spent his childhood before the age of five.And he can only play in the Forbidden City, never had the opportunity to see the outside world.

In this way, this young child became a puppet, and he didn't know what he could do at all.

The Xinhai Revolution broke out in 1911, followed by uprisings across the country. In 1912, Pu Yi announced his abdication, and the Qing Dynasty officially ended.

But Yuan Shikai successfully negotiated with the rebels and kept the Forbidden City.

In the Forbidden City, Puyi still called himself emperor.

The eunuchs also called him the emperor, but he didn't know that it was already the Republic of China outside.The Qing Dynasty no longer exists!
The emperor can only play with eunuchs every day, and all the things he knows are made up for him by his controller.

At that time, the Empress Dowager Longyu invited teachers to teach Puyi, and Puyi began to study. These teachers were also one of the culprits who later encouraged Puyi to establish Manchukuo as a puppet for Japan.

Five years later, the braided army led by Zhang Xun invaded Beiping City and restored the Qing Dynasty. This is the famous restoration event of Zhang Xun in history.

Then enter the Forbidden City to support Puyi again, but this only lasts for twelve days from July 7st to 1th.

Zhang Xun's braided army failed, but Puyi could still stay in the palace at this time.

Two years later, Puyi met Johnston, another teacher in his life. The appearance of this person changed Puyi's outlook on life, values, and worldview.

He taught Puyi a lot, and told Puyi about the outside world and what Europe is like. This was the first time Puyi accepted Western culture, and Puyi learned English during this period.

Johnston was also an important person who later helped Puyi escape from the palace. This was written in the books of both Puyi and Johnston, and then Puyi lived in Tianjin!
At this time, Puyi brought out a lot of precious antiques from the palace. It is said that there are dozens of boxes, which are enough for him to use for a lifetime.

At this time, Puyi no longer wanted to be an emperor. According to his own words, he wanted to study in Europe and become a new figure!
But later, under the "encouragement" of Puyi's many teachers, Puyi went to Xinjing, and then established the Puppet Manchuria with the support of the Japanese people. From then on, he began another period of his life as a puppet emperor!

At this time, Puyi was already in his 20s, and he had his own thoughts and preferences.But he has to ask for instructions like the Wa people and wait for approval before doing anything!
This is also the reason why Japanese people want to support Puyi, because there are still many testators in the nearby Qing Dynasty, and they still listen to Puyi!
Here Puyi spent his most important life from youth to middle age. With the defeat of Japan, Puyi became a prisoner of war.

At the beginning, he was imprisoned in the prison of Beixiong Country, and then returned to New China to continue to be imprisoned!
He was also tried in an international court as a war criminal, providing important evidence for exposing the crimes of the Japanese.

Later, he was pardoned and released from prison in the late 50s, and lived in Yanjing in his later years.

He spent his time in prison writing a book called My First Half of Life, in which he fairly summed up his first half of his life and defended himself!

Aixinjueluo Puyi's life can be said to be a miserable and pitiful life. He couldn't make decisions by himself for most of the first half of his life.

During the ten years from when I entered the palace to when I left the Forbidden City, I completely controlled my time, words and deeds, and the scope of activities, and I could only live according to the wishes of others!

Puyi must have done many wrong things in this life, but he can also repent and rehabilitate, and expose the crimes of the Japanese people in his later years!

His life was also miserable and pitiful.

I have always been controlled by others to live, and only in my later years can I fully live out myself!

After listening to this.

Huang Taiji was pensive, looking angry and helpless, and finally stood with his hands behind his back, "Puyi, your life is almost exactly the same as that of the last subjugated emperor Xiandi Liu Xie at the end of the Han Dynasty!"

Puyi kept sighing, with bitterness written all over his face.

His life.

How can it be compared with Liu Xie, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty?
Although they are all puppets, Liu Xie can marry a wife and have children. Although he does not have absolute freedom, he still lives a prosperous life.

On the other hand, what about Pu Yi himself?
No children and no daughters!

Wandering alone for a lifetime, there is never a day when I have the final say.

If there is, it will be in the past few years working in New China in his later years!

At this time, Nurhachi, who had been silent all this time, asked, "Puyi, do you leave your offspring?"

Puyi was taken aback for a moment, unable to figure out how the old ancestor would ask such a question.

"No...no..."

Nurhachi glanced at the host Lin Feng and said, "Why don't you have any children? You are already living in the new era of China, why don't you leave some blood?"

why?
Because Puyi has congenital sexual dysfunction, the Qing Dynasty has no right pulse until modern times.

Puyi faltered and couldn't answer.

It was still Lin Feng who said, "Senior Puyi has suffered all kinds of hardships all his life, and his own life is already very miserable. Even if he gave birth to a child, in that era, the child would never survive."

Puyi immediately gave Lin Feng a grateful look.

Men are infertile.

In ancient times, this would have been ridiculed.

Lin Feng is restoring Pu Yi's greatest dignity.

Nurhachi nodded to himself, and didn't worry about it anymore, "Mr. Lin, you come from the new era, and you should be familiar with classics. Logically speaking, you should know Hongli's life, right?"

This is the first time that Nurhachi took the initiative to talk to Lin Feng.

With a title.

The meaning is obvious, it is asking for others.

Lin Feng said neither humble nor overbearing, "Senior, would you like to listen to the truth or lies?"
