From the end of 19 to the beginning of the 20th century, China was in a stormy period. At that time, the ruler was Qing * * *, but it was already at home and abroad. The powers frequently exploited and oppressed the Qing dynasty, and domestic uprisings were endless. In Guangxu, his successor chose Puyi as his nephew. So, who is Puyi's father? What is his father's life experience? Let me answer your question.
Zai Feng was born in the fifth day of the first month of the ninth year of Guangxu (1883), in Qinchun Palace, Taiping Lake, Beijing. He is the fifth son of Prince Yi Xuan of Chun Xian, and his mother is Fujin Liu Jia. His second brother, Zai Tian, became the successor of Emperor Xianfeng and Emperor Tongzhi, and became Emperor Guangxu. In the 16th year of Guangxu (1890), Prince Chun was attacked on November 21st. In the 20th year of Guangxu (1894), the whole family moved to Shichahai, and then moved to Qinchun Palace (Beifu) near Haibei River. The Qing court sent people to Germany to "apologize" for the murder of the German envoy in the Boxer Rebellion in Beijing. However, about the prince who went to Germany to "apologize", Qing * * * has not yet decided. Just as the choice of prince was delayed for a long time, Mulder, the new German ambassador to China, recommended Zai Feng, the prince of alcohol at the age of 18, to Li Hongzhang and Yi Kuang, the ministers of the Qing Dynasty.
In the twenty-seventh year of Guangxu (190 1), he was appointed as the first minister and went to Germany to apologize. On June 5th, Cixi and Emperor Guangxu, who were far away in xi 'an, formally appointed Zai Feng as the "first-class ambassador", and appointed Zhang Yi, a former bachelor of The Cabinetshi Read, and Yin Chang, the deputy commander proficient in German, as counsellors to accompany Zai Feng on his visit. Visiting Germany, through this visit, Zai Feng broadened his horizons and deepened his understanding of foreign countries. Through this visit, Zai Feng successfully completed her political tasks, which made Cixi very satisfied and laid a solid foundation for her future career promotion, and became an important turning point in her political career.
Guangxu thirty-four years (1908), served as minister of military aircraft. 1 1 month, Guangxu and Empress Dowager were both critically ill. After the Western Pacific, the military ministers Zai Feng, Zhang Zhidong and Xu Shi were summoned to his sickbed in Fuchangtang to discuss the issue of heirs. Cixi means that three-year-old Puyi is the emperor and her biological father Zai Feng is the regent. After several years of struggle, the young and powerful pro-expensive faction headed by Zai Feng gained an advantage in the central court. Yi Kuang is still the chief military minister, but political affairs depend on Zai Feng. But at the local level, especially in the army, young and middle-aged people were far from Yuan Shikai's influence, which enabled Yuan to make a comeback after the revolution broke out. In the second year of Xuantong (19 10), Zai Feng was assassinated by Wang Jingwei and others, but the assassination failed. After the abdication of the Qing emperor, Zai Feng's life was very low-key. He never took part in restoration activities, just wanted to maintain the preferential conditions for the royal family and the status quo. In the sixth year of the Republic of China (19 17), Zai Feng was extremely enthusiastic about "zhang xun restoration" and never participated in it. Later, Puyi dived to the northeast, but Zai Feng opposed it.
195 1 February 3, Zai Feng died of illness and was buried in Futian cemetery in the western suburbs of Beijing. Pu Ren and Zai Tao arranged a funeral. Zai Tao is an expert in etiquette, especially proficient in the code system before the Qing Dynasty, and has some friendship with the "red and white mouth" industry in Beijing. He was the undertaker of the funeral of Tan Yuling, the imperial concubine of Manchukuo. According to the old ceremony, Wang Fu's funeral should invite monks and Taoists to do some merits for the dead. Zai Feng's funeral simplified the ceremony.
In fact, Zai Feng is not a suitable person to be a regent. He is lively by nature and loves poetry, but he is also tragic. He was forced to be promoted to the position of Regent, but he was unable to hold this position, but his thoughts were very open-minded and not so feudal and conservative. It is also rare in the older royal family.
