When Puyi died, the Qing Dynasty had been destroyed for 55 years. Why was he still buried in the imperial mausoleum?

Puyi’s life was quite sad. He became emperor at the age of three and his country was destroyed at the age of six. Before he understood what it was like to be an emperor, the Qing Dynasty perished and later fell to Japan. The puppet became a war criminal. After the founding of New China, he received amnesty and became an ordinary citizen. He found a second-married nurse as his wife and lived an ordinary life. ?

Puyi died of uremia in 1967 at the age of 61. However, after his death, many people had questions. When the last emperor Puyi passed away, the Qing Dynasty had already perished55 Years ago, why could he still be buried in the "Imperial Mausoleum"? ?

In fact, Puyi was not actually buried in the imperial mausoleum, but was eventually buried in the Hualong Royal Cemetery. This is a commercial cemetery, but it is only 200 meters away from the Qingxi Mausoleum by a wall. Therefore, many people believe that Puyi was buried in the imperial mausoleum.

The specific story of why Puyi was finally buried in the Hualong Royal Cemetery is: after Puyi died, his brother took care of his funeral, cremated him, and then he was first buried in Babaoshan Mass. Cemetery, Puyi quietly stayed in Babaoshan Cemetery for 13 years.

Later in 1980, a memorial service was held for Puyi, and Puyi was moved to the Babaoshan Revolutionary Cemetery. The society at that time was changing rapidly, and many businessmen with business minds appeared. Among them was a businessman named Zhang Shiyi. At that time, he bought a piece of land next to the Qingxi Mausoleum and developed it into a commercial cemetery. However, after it was completed, no one came to buy it.

Now Zhang Shiyi was anxious. When he was frowning, one time he was drinking with his friends. A friend told him that no one bought the cemetery because he was not famous at present. If the emperor's ashes were used, Being buried here will definitely increase your reputation, and you don't have to worry about no one buying it, because many people think that the place where the emperor is buried is naturally a geomantic treasure, which is good for wealth.

But it was certainly unrealistic to find other emperors at that time. He couldn't rob tombs. Later, someone reminded him that there was a ready-made emperor, Puyi, who was staying at Babao Mountain. If the ashes of the last emperor Puyi were buried in Hualong The royal cemetery, plus the tombs of Puyi's queen and concubines, can be called an imperial mausoleum, so there is no need to worry about no one buying it.

In fact, in today’s terms, this kind of move is hype, using Puyi’s identity as the last emperor to hype up his own commercial cemetery. If this cemetery becomes an Internet celebrity, relying on Puyi to gain fame can still No one buys it?

In order to gain popularity and create gimmicks, when he had an idea, he would naturally take action. Zhang Shiyi found Puyi’s last nurse wife, Li Shuxian, and gave her many benefits. Li Shuxian’s life was relatively tight at that time. Ba, the two hit it off immediately, and Zhang Shiyi also gave some preferential treatment to Puyi's other relatives. After all, they thought that Puyi would enter the Hualong Royal Cemetery and be very close to the imperial mausoleum, so they agreed.

In this way, on January 26, 1995, after a brief ceremony, Zhang Shiyi accompanied Li Shuxian to bury Puyi’s ashes in the Hualong Royal Cemetery. It had nothing to do with the imperial mausoleum. In fact, That is, it is next to the Tomb of Western Qing Dynasty, separated by a wall, about 200 meters.

However, the Hualong Royal Cemetery has indeed become famous and popular since the arrival of the last emperor Puyi. Ji Xianlin, a well-known Chinese master, is also buried here. Now online search business is still very good, which shows that it has indeed won With the attention of the world, Zhang Shiyi's hard work was not in vain.

To sum up, Puyi was not buried in the imperial mausoleum, but was buried in a commercial cemetery called Hualong Royal Cemetery. Poor Puyi was homeless during his lifetime, and was used around after his death. It’s sad to think about.
