Two unique emperors in Chinese history, Qin Shi Huang Yingzheng started the feudal society, and the Xuantong Emperor Puyi put an end to this feudal dynasty that lasted for more than 2,000 years.
Pu Yi, a descendant of the royal family who has had ups and downs in troubled times, his life can be described as stormy and difficult.
In the spring of 1906, Pu Yi was born in Beijing, and his father was the regent Zaifeng, who was of authentic royal blood. His grandfather was the big celebrity Rong Lu next to Cixi. The world seems to be peaceful, but it is secretly turbulent. The contradiction between Cixi and Emperor Guangxu continued to intensify, and Cixi wanted to depose Guangxu and monopolize power. However, the abolition of the emperor needed to set up a new monarch, and Guangxu had no children under his knees, which made Cixi anxious.
At a loss, Guangxu was seriously ill, and Cixi finally found an opportunity to bring Pu Yi, who was only two years old, into the court. Cixi packed and sealed her thoughts, looking forward to Pu Yi to deal with the aftermath when Guangxu drove to the west. The young Pu Yi did not understand political conspiracy, but he became the best weight for Cixi to listen to politics. However, Cixi's greedy ambition devoured herself, and on the day of Guangxu's death, she also died suddenly.
According to Cixi's edict, Pu Yi ascended the throne as emperor in the Taihe Palace, and the Qing Dynasty ushered in a new monarch. However, at a young age, he did not actually control the government, and there were Empress Dowager Longyu and regent Zaifeng at the helm. At that time, Pu Yi was only a nominal emperor, and the red tape and power struggles in the palace were like heavenly books to him. At the same time, the Qing Dynasty was already in internal and external difficulties, and many shortcomings were accumulated.
The dark hour came, and in 1911, the Wuchang Uprising broke out, and the vigorous Xinhai Revolution successfully overthrew the Qing Dynasty. Under Yuan Shikai's coercion and money**, the Qing Dynasty royal family finally succumbed, and Pu Yi was forced to abdicate. However, the smartest is probably the Empress Dowager Longyu, who has won a lot of benefits for the royal family.
Yuan Shikai promised Pu Yi and others that they could live in the Forbidden City, and he also paid a huge amount of money every year. In 1914, Pu Yi left the Forbidden City, and in the following decades he experienced all kinds of hardships in the world. The Japanese forcibly embraced him as a puppet emperor, and the Soviet Union imprisoned him, and after returning to China, Pu Yi underwent labor reform. This former emperor, who has tasted all the flavors of the world, will finally regain his freedom one day, and he burst into tears on the spot, and no one can understand it.
Accompanied by his wife, Pu Yi returned to the Forbidden City. Seeing the familiar figure of the Forbidden City, he was full of emotion in his heart.
At this time, the appearance of an old man made Pu Yi's face change in shock, this old man turned out to be Lu Zhonglin, and it was he who personally led people to drive Pu Yi out of the Forbidden City. However, after a moment of deep thought, Pu Yi looked back at the past and chose to let go of his hatred and meet Lu Zhonglin peacefully. Perhaps for Pu Yi, it is more important to live today and live well now than to pursue yesterday!
