The Qing Dynasty was the last feudal imperial society in China. With the abdication of Puyi, the last emperor of China, the word "emperor" officially disappeared from the historical stage.

In 1912, a prince cried bitterly against Puyi's abdication and firmly resisted signing Puyi's abdication edict.

He was loyal to Puyi and the Qing Dynasty throughout his life, and he was Aisin Gioro Shanqi.

Aixinjueluo Shanqi (March 15, 1866 - March 14, 1922), whose courtesy name was Aitang and whose name was Ou Suiting.

A man with a white banner in Manchuria, an important noble official in the late Qing Dynasty, and one of the twelve iron hat kings in the Qing Dynasty.

After the Revolution of 1911, Aixinjueluo Shanqi was a backbone of the Zongshe Party. He refused to sign the abdication edict of Qing Emperor Puyi. Later, he fled to Lushun, occupied by Japan, and launched the Manchu and Mongolian independence movements twice, but unfortunately both

Ended with failure.

Tracing back to the origin of this family, it is the authentic Zhenghuang Banner. The ancestor of the family, the first generation of Prince Su, was called Hauge. He was the eldest son of Emperor Taizong Huang Taiji of the Qing Dynasty. He was one of the eight "Iron Hat Kings". He was very brave and good at fighting. He led

The soldiers are excellent in fighting.

After the death of Huang Taiji, Hauge and Dorgon competed for the throne. Unexpectedly, Dorgon gained power and Hauge was persecuted and killed very early.

Aixinjueluo Shanqi is the tenth generation of this family and the last Prince Su.

He is considered by many historians to be an enlightened man who advocated a constitutional monarchy. Unfortunately, his talent was not taken seriously, and his suggestions were not only not adopted but also dismissed.

After Puyi abdicated, Aixinjueluo Shanqi cried bitterly when he returned home and told his whole family that the country had perished and his personal life could not be too luxurious, so he asked everyone in the family to dress simply.

He has one main wife, four side wives, and 38 children, 21 boys and 17 girls.

If the wife at home has silk, she cannot throw it away intentionally, so she usually wears a cloth outside to cover the silk clothes.

Except for a third lady who is fat and afraid of heat and can wear a gauze dress, the others are all dressed in cloth and are not allowed to wear silk.

In the first year of the Republic of China, Shanqi tried his best to organize the "Qinwang Army" to cooperate with the "Manchuria-Mongolia Independence Movement" instigated by the Japanese government.

For the first time, Shanqi prepared to start an uprising on September 20, the first year of the Republic of China, and transported military weapons disguised as farm tools to Inner Mongolia. Unfortunately, they were intercepted near Zhengjiatun, and then all were confiscated. The first "Manchu-Mongolian Independence Movement"

So stifled.

In the fourth year of the Republic of China, Yuan Shikai proclaimed himself emperor, and Shanqi began to prepare for the second event.

He used all his family property to establish a large kingdom "including Inner and Inner Mongolia, the three provinces of Manchuria and North China", and then invited Puyi to come here to ascend the throne.

However, just as preparations were becoming increasingly abundant, Yuan Shikai died suddenly.

The slogan "Support the Qing Dynasty and fight against the Yuan Dynasty" lost its meaning. In order to avoid arousing the resentment of the Chinese people, the Japanese began to suppress the good people, and the Manchu-Mongolian movement failed again.

Shanqi, who had lost all his money, felt that there was no hope of restoration and gave up. So he placed all his hopes on his children and sent them abroad one after another.

Finally, on February 27, the 11th year of the Republic of China, Shanqi, who became ill from depression, died in Lushun at the age of 56.

The body was transported back to Beijing for burial in Prince Su Cemetery.

The deposed emperor Puyi commended the good man for his loyalty and gave him the posthumous title of "Zhong", with the full title of Prince Su Zhong.
