Why do some people say that Puyi is the luckiest among the kings of national subjugation?

Before answering this question, let's look at a set of data:

From the feudal history of China to Qin Shihuang and then to Puyi, 422 emperors were born. The average life span of these 422 emperors is about 4 1 year. Among them, the average age of the Northern Wei 14 emperors was 29.5 years old. The average age of 12 emperors in Qing dynasty was 53.3 years old. Among these 422 emperors, 185 died abnormally, and the abnormal mortality rate was as high as 44%.

As the last emperor in the history of China, Puyi, born in 1906, died in 1967 at the age of 6 1 year, which was higher than the feudal history of China and the average life expectancy of emperors in Qing Dynasty, and also died naturally. Therefore, through the comparison of this set of data, Puyi is lucky in life and ending. (There is no separate statistics on the subjugated monarch.)

Judging from his life experience, why is Puyi considered the luckiest one among the kings of national subjugation?

Puyi was born in the thirty-second year of Guangxu (1906), when Guangxu, the ruler of the Qing Dynasty, was imprisoned in Yingtai by Cixi. Two years later, 1908, Emperor Guangxu was seriously ill. Since Emperor Guangxu had no children, Empress Dowager Cixi ordered Puyi, who was only three years old, to be brought into the palace and named Chu Jun. In the same year 165438+ 10/4, Emperor Guangxu died in his prime, and Puyi naturally became the ruler of the Qing Dynasty (known as Xuan Tong in history). Of course, he is still young and has no real power, but being selected among so many members of the royal family also shows that he really has the life of an emperor!

But you said he lived the life of an emperor. In the third year after he ascended the throne (19 1 1), the already tottering Qing dynasty ushered in the Xinhai revolution. At this time, Pu Yi was still wet behind the ears and knew nothing about the world. How do we know what a revolution is? In the end, under the fool of Yuan Shikai and the abdication edict issued by the powerful Jade Dragon Queen, the young little emperor Puyi stepped down from the throne, saying, by the way? The king of national subjugation? what's up Blame? .

But judging from the fate of kings who perished in past dynasties, Puyi was lucky. Looking closely at Emperor Chongzhen in the former Ming Dynasty, he was forced to hang in Jingshan Park at the time of national subjugation, and his descendants were slaughtered by thieves. From a distance, Li Yu, the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty, was imprisoned for several years because of one sentence. The small building was easterly again last night, and the old country was unbearable to look back at the middle of the month. And poisoned in Kaifeng, a foreign land. Where's Puyi?

As the king of national subjugation, he didn't die suddenly. On the contrary, he lived a better life in the name of the emperor, because the government of the Republic of China gave him and the royal family very favorable conditions: he kept eunuchs and other attendants around him, lived in the Forbidden City, and enjoyed the exclusive expenses of the royal family of 4 million silver dollars every year. This was a huge expense at that time. So as far as the monarch of national subjugation is concerned, Puyi is the luckiest one in the history of China.

After that, although Puyi experienced the government of the Republic of China? Preferential treatment regulations? Adjustment, Zhang Xun pushed him back to the throne farce, Feng Yuxiang's brutal expulsion, but Puyi's life is not down and out, but it is quite satisfactory. He didn't live a life of escape, nor was he threatened by any life.

193 1 year, Puyi ushered in a major turning point in his life, which was also the biggest stain in his life: after the September 18th Incident broke out, the Japanese Kwantung Army occupied the whole northeast of China. In order to stabilize its rule in the three northeastern provinces, the Japanese government supported Puyi, who was an emperor, to establish Manchukuo in the northeast and then ascended the throne, which seems to confirm what I said before: Puyi.

However, the life of the emperor Puyi was still a puppet emperor, which lasted for 14 years until the end of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. After the end of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Puyi was captured by the Soviet Union, put into a detention center, and once again became the king of national subjugation. However, due to her special status, Puyi received special treatment in the detention center: she didn't have to work and ate alone. In this way, after staying in the Soviet Union for several years, Puyi was extradited to Fushun War Crimes Management Office on 1950.

Puyi, who came to Fushun War Criminals Management Office, did not receive special attention because of his special status. Like other war criminals, he received ideological education and labor reform. This change is nine years. According to 1959 "People's Republic of China (PRC) Amnesty Order" issued by New China, Puyi was pardoned, obtained People's Republic of China (PRC) citizenship and regained her freedom. After that, Puyi lived the same life as ordinary people, got his own job and marriage, and died in 1967, ending a bumpy legendary life.

Conclusion:

Puyi's life is legendary. As the king of national subjugation, he crossed into modern times, and experienced the monopoly position of one person over ten thousand people to the ordinary position of a civilian. At the same time, he was able to save his life in repeated failures, which is rare and very lucky in the history of China.
