Mondo History Updated on 2024-01-19

Zaibo, a legendary figure, lived at the end of the Qing Dynasty and was the son of the eldest ** Yixuan at that time. He lived to be 61 years old, but at the last moment of his life, he lost all the tens of millions of taels left to him by his old father, which eventually led to his son being reduced to picking up rags. This legendary life is full of extravagance and absurdity, and people can't help but want to reveal the strange experience of this ruined son.

First of all, Zaibo was known as one of the most handsome men at the end of the Qing Dynasty, and his handsome appearance even attracted attention in diplomatic occasions. In 1908, when the Qing Dynasty sent Tang Shaoyi to the United States, the Tang envoys named them to take the battle. This is not because of his political talent, but because of his thoughtful appearance, which can represent the positive image of the Qing Dynasty. This also reflects the success of the Qing Dynasty in the face project at that time.

However, Zaibo's path to defeat is a series of extravagance and profligacy. First of all, he spent 10,000 taels ** on a Western meal, and enjoyed whale meat, truffle beef, deep-sea fish and other delicacies, which made people cry out for luxury. In order to make the famous Peking Opera "Nine-Year-Old Red", he even folded it into a flower basket with pounds sterling and sent it to the stage, showing that he did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to pursue pomp and circumstance.

Not only that, Zaibo also bought a very expensive sea dragon fur coat, showing the infinite pursuit of luxury. He even bought a gold shotgun, using silver beads as bullets, which cost a lot of money. His obsession with foreign furniture and beds is even more staggering, with a new set every year, demonstrating his dedication to luxury living.
