The last emperor Puyi had a rough life, with too much helplessness and too many regrets. Among them, the most heartbreaking thing was that he had no children in his life.
Puyi had five women - Empress Wanrong, Shufei Wenxiu, Xianggui Tan Yuling, Fugui Li Yuqin, and his wife Li Shuxian, but they all failed to give birth to a "dragon heir" for Puyi. (Wanrong once gave birth to a daughter, but she was not Puyi's flesh and blood, but the result of her affair with Puyi's bodyguard.)
Puyi has been at the mercy of the Japanese since he was expelled from the Forbidden City. After becoming Emperor Manchu, he was completely reduced to a puppet of Japan. But even so, the Japanese are still not satisfied. They want to completely control China from the root. In order to realize this trick, the Japanese came up with a "cool trick"-injecting the genes of the Yamato nation into the bloodline of the Aisin Gioro royal family.
Although Puyi became a Japanese puppet, for him it was just a last resort expedient at the time, and he still hoped to have an heir in the future. However, Puyi was harmed by the eunuchs in the palace when he was still young. The eunuchs let the maids in the palace overdraw Puyi's body early. His infertility has become an open secret, and Japan is naturally aware of this. bright. So the Japanese shifted their target to Puyi's younger brother Pujie.
Pu Jie, the son of Prince Chun and the younger brother of Emperor Xuantong. Although he is a noble man, his personal life is not happy at all.
Pu Jie’s first wife was Tang Yiying, the niece of Emperor Guangxu’s concubine Jin. Tang Yiying was originally arranged to marry Pu Yi, but accidentally married Pu Jie.
Tang Yiying was also a womanizer and had many scandals. Two of the four young masters of the Republic of China (Zhang Xueliang and Lu Xiaojia) were her lovers, and Pujie had no good impressions of him. After the Qing emperor abdicated, Pujie had been following Puyi in preparing for the great cause of restoring the country, and had almost no experience of normal family life.
After Pujie traveled east to Japan, Puyi was not idle either. With the help of the Japanese, he successfully restored power in the Northeast. In order to better control the puppet Manchukuo, Pujie also received "special care" in Japan.
The Kwantung Army first sent people to Beijing to force Tang Yiying and Pujie to divorce, and then arranged for Saga Hao, the granddaughter of a prominent Japanese family, Marquis Saga Gongsheng, to marry her.
Although I don’t know what kind of medicine the Japanese sell in their gourds, Pu Jie initially rejected this unexpected wife. Everyone knows that Japanese culture is very successful in cultivating "good wives and mothers".
Sagahiro is not only beautiful, but also accomplished in literature and art, and his personality is gentle and considerate. In Pu Jie's words, they "fell in love at first sight." The letter he wrote to Pu Yi after the marriage also said: "When Jie was not at home, he fed himself with simple food. When Jie returned, he used the bottles to save the money. , With abundant food as salary, Chengjie experienced the happiness of this kind of family for the first time in his life."
On April 3, 1937, Pujie married the Japanese aristocrat Hiroshi Saga in Tokyo. Although Pujie was initially forced to marry a Japanese woman, he was soon conquered by the beautiful and virtuous Sagahao, and their married life was very sweet. However, the happy marriage of his younger brother Pujie was the beginning of Puyi's nightmare.
Less than a month after the "friendly marriage" between Pujie and Sagahao, Japan immediately promulgated the Puppet Manchukuo "Emperor Succession Law", which clearly stipulates: After the death of the emperor, his son will inherit the throne. If he has no children, he will be succeeded by his grandchildren. If he has no children or grandchildren, he will be succeeded by his younger brother. If he has no younger brothers, he will be succeeded by his younger brother's son...
It is an established fact that Puyi has no children or grandchildren. The promulgation of this "Emperor Succession Law" means that Pu Jie's son will be the legal heir to the throne in the future.
Soon, Sagahao became pregnant, but Puyi was the most nervous person. On February 26, 1938, Sagahao gave birth to a baby girl in Changchun, the capital of the puppet Manchuria, which made Puyi temporarily relieved. Take a breath. The child was named Aixinjueluo Huisheng.
Puyi was the most nervous, for the following reasons
First of all, this child is of mixed Chinese and Japanese descent. No matter what Puyi’s life is like, bloodline is very important to the feudal empire, and it is absolutely What cannot be tolerated, the family motto of the ancestors should never be forgotten, and if the restoration is successful in the future, it will also be criticized.
Secondly, the relationship between the brothers was provoked and there was a crisis. Japan arranged for Pujie to have such a good wife and loving mother. Pujie did not consider the embarrassing situation of his brother Puyi. Pujie had already forgotten about it in this situation. In order to achieve the great cause of restoration, he actually enjoyed the life of an ordinary person, caring for his husband and raising his children. Puyi had no relatives at the time and only had one younger brother, Pujie.
Furthermore, many people believe that once Pu Jie gives birth to a boy, the Japanese will naturally no longer need Pu Yi as the Manchu emperor, and it is very likely that he will be eliminated by the Japanese. However, the author believes that the Japanese do not necessarily have to kill Puyi in this case. It depends on where Puyi will be at that time. If Puyi complies with the Japanese's wishes, the Japanese do not have to kill him, but If he insists on claiming to be the emperor, he will definitely be killed by the Japanese.
