In 1962, ** feasted Pu Yi and talked about the jade seals of the 8 countries:

Comrade Puyi, where is the jade seal of the country?”

I don't know....”

Pu Yi blurted out the word "I", which stunned everyone.

When it comes to the jade seal, Pu Yi unconsciously calls himself "I", which shows the deep influence of the jade seal on him.

As the last emperor, why didn't Pu Yi know the whereabouts of the jade seal?Heirloom jade seal, where is this national treasure and cultural relics now?

If you want to know more about these stories, please read on.

In February 1912, accompanied by an abdication edict, Pu Yi stepped down from the dragon chair. Pu Yi, the last emperor of China, ascended the throne at the age of 3 and abdicated at the age of 7.

The jade seal has been a symbol of imperial power since ancient times.

It stands to reason that it should disappear with the Qing Dynasty. However, because Yuan Shikai has always had the intention of establishing a constitutional monarchy and even becoming an emperor, he left it in the hands of Pu Yi in case of emergency.

According to historical records, until 1924, the jade seal was in the hands of Pu Yi.

In 1924, Feng Yuxiang entered the city of Beijing. Unlike Yuan Shikai, this Beiyang junior doesn't like Pu Yi very much.

I'll give you a day, bring your luggage and family, and get me out of Beijing. Otherwise, you do it at your own risk!”

In the Forbidden City, Feng Yuxiang sent soldiers to threaten Pu Yi.

The former owner of Beijing City, under the sunset, left his homeland lonely and left his homeland. Before leaving, the soldier asked Pu Yi to hand over the jade seal of the country.

As soon as he heard that he was going to hand over the jade seal, the Manchu widow was unhappy, and forced him to die, demanding that he not hand over the jade seal.

The jade seal is the last dignity, and it must not be given to others!”

The Qing Dynasty is dead, what jade seals do you care!”

Although Pu Yi was the last emperor, he was very sober-minded. He knew that in the current situation, even if Feng Yuxiang let him be a saddle, he had to agree.

Pu Yi told the servant to put the jade seal in ** and asked him to get it quickly. But when the servant returned, he told him that the jade seal had been lost.

No way!I left it there yesterday, how did I lose it now?”

Back to the emperor, the rebels broke into the Forbidden City, and the things of the ancestors were ruined by them. ”

The servant pressed to Pu Yi's ear and wept silently.

Pu Yi told the soldiers the news of the loss of the jade seal, and the soldiers immediately relayed it to Feng Yuxiang. After Feng Yuxiang found out, he was very suspicious of Pu Yi.

Pu Yi must be lying, how could the jade seal be lost!”

On the same day, Feng Yuxiang found Pu Yi, and after a search, he learned that the jade seal was really lost.

Jade seal is not only the treasure of Aisin Gioro, but also the treasure of the Chinese. Mr. Pu Yi, don't worry, I will definitely get it back!”

Feng Yuxiang left the Forbidden City embarrassed and polite, and no longer asked about the whereabouts of the jade seal.

The jade seal of the Qing Dynasty has since disappeared in the long river of history and has not been found.

The jade seal cannot be lost for no reason. So, who took it and hid it in **?Don't worry, let's take a look.

There are four theories about the whereabouts of the jade seal.

The first: Pu Yi hid.

Some people say that Pu Yi anticipated Feng Yuxiang's thoughts and sent the jade seal out of Beijing in advance and hid it in a private treasure.

The second version: Feng Yuxiang collection.

Some people say that Feng Yuxiang sent someone to find the jade seal, and then hid it in his hands as a family heirloom.

The third theory: Beiyang soldiers privately hidden.

The Beiyang Army is not like the Eighth Route Army, it has poor discipline and likes to "take sheep by the hand". Could the jade seal be found by some soldier and hidden in his own home?

The fourth way of saying: folk collections.

Will the jade seal be picked up by some ordinary person, hidden in his home, or sold to a wealthy merchant?

In my opinion, none of the above four statements are valid.

The first type: Pu Yi could not hide the jade seal.

The jade seal is only a symbol of imperial power, and has no substantive power. The Qing Dynasty is dead, what is the use of Pu Yi asking for a jade seal?

The second type: Feng Yuxiang cannot hide the jade seal.

At that time, the warlords were fighting, the dragons were leaderless, and Beijing was the center of the country. Holding the jade seal of the country in Beijing, he has the momentum of Cao Cao's "coercion of the Son of Heaven to order the princes".

If Feng Yuxiang finds the jade seal, he will definitely not hide it, but put it on the surface.

The third type: it is impossible for a soldier to hide the jade seal privately.

Although Beiyang soldiers like to hide their belongings, jade seals are not ordinary belongings.

Haven't eaten pork and never seen a pig run?Although the per capita culture was low at that time, you should always know the jade seal, right?

This kind of heirloom treasure, as long as it is seen, will cause a scramble, and then be known by more people, and finally reach Feng Yuxiang's ears.

Therefore, it is impossible for the Beiyang soldiers to hide the jade seal privately.

The fourth theory: jade seals cannot be collected privately.

During the war years, if the jade seal fell into the hands of the common people, it would definitely end up being sold to wealthy merchants.

In that era of war and chaos, the jade seal was not as good as a steamed bun. The common people need food, as long as they get the jade seal, they will definitely sell it and exchange it for cash to hoard grain.

When the jade seal fell into the hands of a wealthy merchant, there were only two options.

The first is to keep it in your own hands and wait for the appreciation.

The second, sold to the upper class.

Either way, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the state had a policy of acquiring cultural relics, as long as the jade seal was handed over, the exchange for something far more valuable than millions.

The collector of the jade seal is no different from the current ** personnel, and naturally knows when the ** is the highest, and it is impossible not to hand over the jade seal to the state.

From the founding of the People's Republic of China to the present, there is no news of the jade seal in China, and it can only be said that it is not in the country.

So will the jade seal follow the war and go abroad?In my opinion: impossible.

If the jade seal is abroad, there will only be two ends.

The first is to be displayed in foreign museums and never sold to China.

The second type: the foreign lion opened his mouth and asked the Chinese cultural relics community

Now, there is no news of the jade seal abroad, it can only be said that it is not abroad.

Since there is no news of the jade seal at home and abroad, what did it go to?

In my opinion, the jade seal was most likely destroyed by artillery fire.

In the Forbidden City in 1924, if the Beiyang Army had a few more shells, the Palace Museum would probably have to close.

The jade seal, this kind of national treasure-level cultural relic, has not appeared so far, and may really disappear from the world due to the war.

After losing the jade seal, what was Pu Yi's mood?Did he ever think about looking for the jade seal?

After losing the jade seal, Pu Yi felt very heavy. As the last face of the Qing Dynasty, the jade seal is now lost by him, and he feels very guilty.

After leaving Beijing, Pu Yi sent people to look for the jade seal on several occasions.

Be sure to find the jade seal, no matter how much **, I am willing to buy it back!”

It's a pity that it backfired, and Pu Yi never found the jade seal.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Pu Yi was sent to the "Fushun Management Office" to undergo transformation. In the ten years he has been in the management office, there has not been a day when he has not thought about the jade seal.

Your Majesty, what are you thinking?”

Don't call me the emperor, I'm Pu Yi now. ”

In the canteen of the management center, the old servant sat next to Pu Yi and sighed in a low voice.

I....I....I'm thinking about the jade seal, if I don't find it, I have no shame to face the ancestors and ancestors. ”

In the management office, Pu Yi tried his best to correct his self-proclaimed name for many years, but when he mentioned the jade seal, he couldn't help but say the word "I". Perhaps, this is the influence of the jade seal on his life.

In 1962, ** held a banquet at home to invite friends from all walks of life, including Pu Yi.

After a few drinks, the chairman asked Pu Yi:

Comrade Pu Yi, do you know where the jade seal of the Qing Dynasty is?”

I don't know....”

This sentence exploded like thunder at the banquet. Everyone looked embarrassed, and looked at Pu Yi in unison.

Comrade President, I am at fault!”

Pu Yi realized that he had said the wrong thing and immediately stood up and apologized.

Don't worry, Comrade Puyi, you're not wrong.

You have been saying the word I since I was a child, and I have been saying it for decades, and it is difficult to correct it for a while, I understand.

The jade seal is a thing, just lose it. I believe that your ancestors will definitely be happier when they see you now than when they see Yuxi!”

After listening to ***'s words, Pu Yi completely let go of his psychological baggage and cried bitterly.

Since the loss of the jade seal, he has felt shameless to face his ancestors, and he has trouble sleeping and eating all day. Today, after enlightenment, he finally untied his heart knot and became a new man.

The jade seal, a symbol of the old times.

Pu Yi, a comrade of New China.

Regarding Pu Yi, ** commented: "Today, we transformed an emperor. ”

Pu Yi, the last emperor, a legendary life.

**, a generation of great people, salute!
