In the last year of the dynasty, Cixi was the supreme ruler at that time, and the emperor was just a marionette in her hand, at that time, her power was so great that whoever she wanted to ascend to the throne, then who was the emperor, whether it was Guangxu or Puyi, she personally designated, in fact, there was an emperor in the Qing Dynasty between Guangxu and Puyi, but he only ascended the throne for three days, which was the shortest reign of all the emperors of the Qing Dynasty.
In fact, the reason why Cixi was able to ascend to the throne of the empress dowager was because she gave birth to the only prince of the Xianfeng Emperor, and later her son ascended the throne to become the Tongzhi Emperor, although her own son ascended the throne, but Cixi has always refused to give up power, even her own grandson, and eventually led to the Tongzhi Emperor without a queen, Cixi chose Guangxu to succeed to the throne, because Guangxu's mother is Cixi's sister, at first Guangxu also fought, but eventually failed.
Although Guangxu had reached the age of pro-government, Cixi was still reluctant to relinquish power, because the Reform Law launched by Guangxu touched Cixi's interests, so after the failure of the reform, Emperor Guangxu was put under house arrest by Cixi, who already had the intention of deposing the emperor, so she was ready to choose her brother's grandson Ai Xinjue Luo Pu as the next emperor, but she did not expect that Pu Juan had only been on the throne for three days before he stepped down in the opposition of ministers and ministers.
When Pu Juan ascended the throne, in fact, the Guangxu Emperor was still imprisoned, after the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded China, Cixi also fled west with the Guangxu Emperor, but Pu Juan and his father were also casual, although he had been emperor for three days, but Cixi did not want to see him, and also regarded him as the reason for the invasion of China by the Eight-Nation Alliance, so he sent Pu Juan and his father into exile, but Pu Juan secretly ran back to the capital from a young age, married his wife and had children, and became a wandering brother.
