During the Spring Festival, Pu Yi was invited to a banquet and asked where the jade seal of the country went.
China has experienced many dynastic changes in its history, resulting in many founding kings and last kings. The fate of the last king is usually tragic, as the new monarch usually eliminates anyone who might be a danger.
However, after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty was transformed into an ordinary citizen of New China. Even in the Spring Festival of 1962, New China's *** also hosted a banquet for the last emperor.
The two people from different backgrounds talked and laughed at the banquet. During the conversation, ** asked Pu Yi: "I heard that the emperors of all dynasties will have a jade seal of the country, so what about the jade seal of the Qing Dynasty?" ”
Although Pu Yi was once a miserable last emperor, he is now a citizen of a new country and lives an ordinary life.
In 1906, the last years of the Qing Dynasty, Aixin Jueluo. Pu Yi was born, but his birth was accompanied by the collapse of the dynasty. When he was two years old, the Empress Dowager Cixi, in order to retain her power, took the young man into the palace and became the next successor.
Although he was named emperor, in the arms of his wet nurse, he could only cry while **, no one loved or cared. He is known to be the future emperor, but he is only a puppet to be manipulated, and the ruler of fate is the magnate behind him.
It's almost over, it's almost over. However, this sentence also foreshadowed the imminent demise of the Qing Dynasty. Emperor Puyi of Xuantong reigned for only three years, after which the Wuchang Rebellion broke out.
Faced with the crumbling rule of the Qing Dynasty, the imperial court desperately searched for hope of salvation. At this critical moment, they chose to reuse Yuan Shikai. However, what no one knows is that Yuan Shikai had already reached a private agreement with Sun Yat-sen, and their secret agreement was that if Yuan Shikai could make the little emperor Pu Yi abdicate, he would be appointed as the greatest.
As a result, Yuan Shikai began to persuade Pu Yi to abdicate with all his might, and used various means to exert pressure. On the one hand, he put pressure on the Empress Dowager Longyu and the regent, and on the other hand, he threw out a preferential condition as a bait for abdication.
After countless consultations, Yuan Shikai and the imperial family finally reached an agreement on the conditions for preferential treatment of the imperial family after the abdication of the Qing emperor.
Although Pu Yi lost his status as emperor after his abdication, he was still able to live a leisurely life in the Forbidden City without having to worry about anything, and this period was known as the "Little Court of the Qing Dynasty", marking the end of nearly 300 years of Qing rule.
However, this period of calm did not last long, and Emperor Xuantong was restored by Zhang Xun, but only a dozen days later, he was forced to abdicate again. In 1924, Feng Yuxiang staged a coup d'état in Beijing and drove Pu Yi out of the Forbidden City, where he was forced to leave where he had lived for more than a decade.
Despite this, Pu Yi remained emperor and briefly served as emperor in the puppet state of Manchukuo.
Pu Yi, who was forced to leave the Forbidden City after encountering the ** of the National Army, took refuge in the Japanese Legation and announced that he was allowed by the Japanese Minister. Although he was only the nominal emperor, being driven out of his home by the revolutionary army still made Pu Yi's heart full of unwillingness.
He tried to establish contact with the warlords, hoping to use their power to realize his dream of restoration. However, the chaotic situation in China at that time, with warlords of all stripes and years of fighting, made it difficult to realize his restoration plan.
At that time, Japan's ambitions were gradually revealed, and Pu Yi considered taking refuge in Japan for restoration, and Japan also wanted to use Pu Yi to build momentum for the establishment of the puppet Manchukuo in order to better invade China.
Escorted by Japan, Pu Yi arrived in Tianjin, like a bird escaping from a cage, where he began to completely release himself. Due to his long period of Western education, Pu Yi was deeply influenced by Western culture.
Pu Yi was obsessed with Western aesthetics and culture, often hanging out in the social places of foreigners, and was even called "emperor" and enjoyed special treatment. This strengthened his conviction of the exalted status of the "emperor" and thus strengthened his plan for restoration.
However, despite the courtesy of emperors, this is only a superficial respect, and there are very few that can really help him. Just when Pu Yi was about to lose confidence, the Japanese saw an opportunity, and they threw an olive branch to Pu Yi, proposing to establish a new state in the northeast with Pu Yi as emperor.
This condition had a great power on Pu Yi, and he immediately agreed to it, and immediately followed the Japanese to the northeast.
On March 1, 1934, Pu Yi held his third enthronement ceremony in Xinjing, which marked the renaming of "Manchukuo" to "Great Manchukuo" and the use of the "Kant" era name.
The commander of the Japanese Kwantung Army led more than 100 Japanese ** to attend the ceremony, and at the same time, the prime minister of the "Great Manchurian Empire" and the Japanese ** exchanged letters, saying that they recognized the "Great Manchurian Empire" on the spot.
Since then, Pu Yi has begun a career as a puppet emperor for more than ten years.
Understood, the new copy is as follows: As time passed, Pu Yi gradually saw Japan's sinister intentions. They took great pains to make him emperor only to find a pretext to invade China.
With the unconditional surrender of Japan, the puppet state of Manchukuo collapsed, and Pu Yi issued an edict of abdication for the third time. He intended to flee to Japan, but while waiting for a plane to Japan at Shenyang Airport, he was captured by Soviet paratroopers and sent to a Soviet concentration camp.
He spent five years in prison there. In the end, the founding of New China gave Pu Yi a new belonging.
In 1950, after receiving a notice from the Soviet side, Pu Yi understood that his actions in the Northeast amounted to treason, so his heart was filled with fear. He tried to apply for residence in the Soviet Union, but was not granted.
So, on the way home, his heart was full of uneasiness, knowing the consequences of treason, for fear that he would be executed as soon as he got off the train. However, what he feared did not happen, and he was imprisoned as a war criminal in the Fushun War Criminals Management Center, where he was placed under management along with other war criminals.
Pu Yi was a former royal family who committed treason at the beginning of the founding of New China, and his family did not dare to visit him for fear of involvement. However, during the transformation of the management center, Pu Yi had a positive attitude and decided to transform everything he had into a valuable person.
One day, the warden told him that someone had come to visit him, and he went into the reception room in confusion to find that it was his uncle Zaitao and his sister who had come to visit him. They told Pu Yi that this was specially instructed by ***, and told him the chairman's care for the Aixin Jueluo family.
Hearing the news, Pu Yi hugged his uncle excitedly and cried, and he decided to work harder to transform it to thank the chairman for his care.
On the 10th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the state decided to grant amnesty to a group of war criminals in order to demonstrate its lenient policy. After the news reached the management center, Pu Yi also heard about it, but he didn't take it to heart, because he knew that he was deeply guilty, and Pu Yi never had the slightest idea of being pardoned.
However, when Pu Yi was surprised to find that his name was on the amnesty list, he did not react for a moment, and he was actually freed. After being pardoned, the prime minister took into account Pu Yi's special status, personally inquired about his work arrangements, and after careful consideration, decided to let him work in the botanical garden.
1.The Botanical Garden's workload is light and no special skills are required, making it easy for Pu Yi to do the job. The work included daily watering and pruning branches, providing Pu Yi with an ideal environment to adapt to.
2.The aim of this work arrangement is to reduce direct contact with people, to allow Pu Yi to gradually adapt to his new environment, and to gradually accept his new identity from the people around him.
Pu Yi is deeply grateful for the careful arrangement and is very devoted to the work of the Botanical Garden.
In the Spring Festival of 1962, Pu Yi received a special invitation, an invitation from ***, inviting him to Zhongnanhai for a banquet. The moment he received the invitation, Pu Yi was very excited, he didn't expect the chairman to invite him personally.
However, at the same time, there was also some apprehension in my heart, why did the chairman invite him? When Pu Yi arrived at Zhongnanhai, he saw that Zhang Shizhao, Cheng Qian and others had already taken their seats, and there was still an empty seat next to the chairman.
At this time, he heard the chairman say to Zhang Shizhao: "I invited you to come today to accompany guests, and today I want to come as an honored guest." ”
Everyone wondered who this distinguished guest would be? I saw *** smile at the person who came in, and said: "The distinguished guest has arrived, let us welcome the emperor of the Qing Dynasty." ”
Everyone looked at the mysterious visitor, only to see him waving his hands shyly, denying that he was the emperor and just an ordinary citizen. ** introduced the guest to everyone, and then affectionately pulled him to the upper seat and sat down, although Pu Yi felt that it was inappropriate, but *** insisted: "You were the emperor back then, and we were all your people, of course you have to take a seat." ”
**The banquet for Pu Yi is aimed at getting him out of self-blame, and the atmosphere is harmonious. Although the dishes are simple and simple, with only vegetarian dishes such as bitter gourd and chili peppers and steamed rice, everyone still enjoys it.
The chairman was very attentive to Pu Yi, talking to him from time to time, asking about his living situation, and learned that Pu Yi was still single, and also suggested with concern that he find another partner, because he was not in good health and needed someone to take care of him.
Pu Yi was deeply impressed that the chairman was still concerned about his personal situation, although he was in charge of every opportunity. During the banquet, the chairman also asked about the "jade seal of the country" of the Qing Dynasty. Pu Yi replied guiltily: "Due to the attack of Feng Yuxiang's troops, I left the Forbidden City in a hurry without the jade seal, and then sent people back to look for it, but it was gone. ”
The chairman noticed Pu Yi's nervousness, and in order to comfort him, he specially asked someone to take the "National Seal of the People's Republic of China", and said that this national seal was made of bronze and carefully made by a master seal carving.
The chairman stressed that the people's country should be engraved by the people, which is the embodiment of the people's strength and dignity.
It turned out that the chairman had long known that the jade seal of the Qing Dynasty had disappeared, but he just wanted to take this opportunity to tell Pu Yi that it was now New China, the social outlook had taken on a new look, and he should be a completely new person.
Pu Yi understood the chairman's intentions, and he was deeply grateful for *** for giving him a chance to be reborn. Until his death, he still firmly said: "I, the last emperor, can live a comfortable and happy life, all thanks to the leadership of the Communist Party of China and the wise leadership of the Communist Party."
If it weren't for the Communist Party of China, I wouldn't have had a place for *** a long time ago. "The emperor of a feudal royal family can be so thoroughly transformed, full of admiration for the Communist Party and New China, and full of admiration for the greatness, which fully reflects the broad mind of the Communist Party of China and the Communist Party of China.
