When it comes to constitutional reform in the late Qing Dynasty, Zai Ze is an important representative figure. It's just that the Qing ** decay has no power to return to the sky, even if Zai Ze has excellent ability, there is no way to save it.
Although Zai Ze is the minister of the clan, he is the grandson of the fifteenth son of Kangxi, that is, the sixth grandson of Kangxi. Due to the untimely death of Emperor Sun Yixun of Jiaqing without an heir, Zai Ze was ordered to succeed to Yixun as his son, and the title should have been the Duke of Fuguo, and he inherited the title after succession, and was awarded the title of Viscount of Shanbei. Therefore, he suddenly changed from a distant branch of the clan to a close branch of the clan.
In 1868, Zaizawa was born. The name of the new birth on the genealogy is "Zaijiao", and the cursive prefix may be the side to be used by the distant branch. His ancestor was the fifteenth son of Kangxi.
Among the sons of Jiaqing's fifth son Mianyu, only Yixun died young, only 23 years old, and had no heirs.
Then, after looking for it, it was decided to let Zai Ze of the distant branch come to succeed him, in order to let Mianyu have an heir in the genealogy of Aixin Jueluo, and let his title continue to be passed on. Therefore, Zaize became the most suitable choice.
He died in 1871, but Zaizawa was succeeded in 1877. After the succession, Zaijiao was changed to Zaize.
In 1894, at the age of 27, Zai Ze was ordered to get married. His concubine Fujin is the niece of the Empress Dowager Cixi, named Yehenara Jingrong. At this time, the Empress Dowager Cixi listened to the government, and it was estimated that Zai Ze was more brilliant and a potential stock, so she married her niece to him.
Seven years later, Zai Ze began to hold a position in the imperial court, at this time he was 34 years old, and he was still the deputy commander of the Manchurian Zhenglan Banner, and it was also arranged by the imperial court for him to temper and temper first.
In 1905, the imperial court sent Duan Fang, Zai Ze, Dai Hongci, Xu Shichang and Shao Ying to form a delegation of five ministers to study abroad. But before leaving, there was a ** incident at the station, and these people were injured, which made the people of insight who saw them off in China very anxious, for fear that the imperial court would directly cancel the plan to go abroad because of this ** incident.
In 1906, the imperial court restarted the Five Ministers Inspection Program. This time, Xu Shichang and Shaoying were replaced by Li Shengduo and Shang Qiheng, and then divided into two teams to go abroad for inspection.
It is understood that the delegation led by Zai Ze has inspected the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Belgium, Germany, Japan and other countries, which lasted a total of 6 months.
So, the countries examined are all politically constitutional monarchies, but when they returned to Japan, they were basically denied by all other countries except Japan.
For Zaizawa, after half a year of overseas investigation, Japan's constitutional monarchy brought him the deepest feelings.
During his inspection of Japan's political system, he was received by the Emperor, with whom Ito personally had a long meeting, giving him a comprehensive understanding of Japan's reforms. Therefore, after returning to China, Zai Ze also wrote a book called "Investigation Political Diary", and then wrote to Emperor Guangxu, asking the imperial court to establish a constitution and change the law, which can completely emulate Japan's constitutional monarchy.
After this overseas investigation, Zai Ze's ability was affirmed by the imperial court, and he also married the niece of the Empress Dowager Cixi, so he began to reuse him.
In 1907, the imperial court appointed Zai Ze as the secretary of the degree branch, ranking in the first grade. The following year, he was awarded the title of Gushan Beizi.
After arriving in the Seontong Dynasty, he served as Minister of Naval Affairs, Minister of the Constitution, Minister of the Imperial Cabinet, Minister of the Metropolitan Branch, and Minister of Salt Administration.
When the Qing Dynasty fell, Zai Ze resigned from his position, and since then he has lived in his old age, and has never participated in Puyi's restoration or puppet Manchurian activities. In 1930, at the age of 63, Zai Ze died.
