King Duan, Aisin Gioro zaiqin.
One could tell from the name that it was not one of their kind.
King Duan was the cousin of the current Emperor. Two years ago, the Empress Dowager launched a coup, wanting to abolish Guangxu and change Aixin jueluo PU Jun to Emperor. Later, due to pressure from many parties, she had to dispel it.
The fifteen-year-old boy, PU Jun, was King Duan's son. He had almost become the "retired emperor."
King Duan was one of the leaders of the diehards. During the period of the movement, he had secretly caused a lot of trouble for the Westerners and was a big cancer in the decadent system. In addition, he was a staunch supporter of war. On one hand, he encouraged the group of volunteers to cause trouble, while on the other hand, he wrote a letter to Cixi to fight to the death with the foreigners.
Later generations evaluated him as one of the main culprits of the uprising.
