Just when Wen Xiu could not live in Tianjin Jingyuan, Yu Fen, the daughter of Wen Xiu's distant cousin yu zhang, came to Wen Xiu's side. When Yu Fen learned that Wenxiu's marriage was unfortunate and tragic, she immediately said frankly to Wenxiu: "Today is the era of the Republic of China. Legally speaking, men and women are equal. Puyi has long been expelled from the palace. He is a civilian, not an emperor. He must obey the law and treat others equally. You should hire a lawyer, write a complaint, accuse him of abusing his wife, divorce him and ask for alimony. " It was Yu Fen's words that made Wenxiu determined to divorce Puyi and strive for personal freedom.
1931On August 25th, Wenshan came to Jingyuan. Around 3 pm, Wenshan told Puyi that her sister was depressed and she wanted to go out with her sister for fun. Puyi reluctantly agreed to let a eunuch follow them out.
After leaving the gate of Jingyuan by bus, Wen Xiu instructed the driver to drive to the Republic of China Hotel in Tianjin and get off to stay in Room 37. Then she said to eunuch Zhao Changqing, "Go home yourself." Eunuch Zhao didn't understand what it meant. Wen Xiu took out a written letter and asked Zhao Changqing to give it to Puyi, and told him: "Wen Xiu will sue the emperor to the court and decide to divorce him."
When Zhao, the eunuch, returned to Jingyuan to tell the truth, Puyi immediately panicked and hurriedly ordered his servants to rush to the hotel of the Republic of China, asking Wen Xiu to get it back. However, Wen Xiu and Wenshan were ready, and soon left the hotel of the Republic of China and moved to the garden house provided by the widow Zhang, who was very sympathetic to Wen Xiu's experience and had a rich family. After Wen Shan came forward to run, Wen Xiu hired three lawyers, Zhang Shaoceng, Li and Li, to write to the court: "It is unbearable to accuse Puyi of insulting Wen Xiu. Puyi was ill and lived together for nine years without any luck. Determined to divorce, ask for personal daily clothing and alimony of 500,000 yuan. "
For Wen Xiu's accusation, Puyi was extremely afraid, thinking that it would hurt the face of the royal family too much, and it would also be beneath the status of "emperor". At that time, it was a crucial moment for Puyi to collude closely with the Japanese and fantasize that Puyi would help Wang Ye recover. At this time, it was less than one month since the September 18th Incident of 193 1. Various newspapers in Beijing and Tianjin published reports that Wenxiu was going to sue Puyi for divorce, saying that this was the "imperial concubine revolution". Many people supported Wenxiu, and everyone ran around to publicize it, which finally put Puyi in an extremely embarrassing position.
In desperation, Puyi also hired two lawyers, Lin Bai and Lin, to mediate between him and Wenxiu. 19311kloc-0/on October 22nd, Wen Xiu, the Tianjin law firm of Lin Bai and Lin, was present, and three lawyers were present. Puyi and Wen Xiu both agreed and signed a divorce agreement, which consists of three articles:
1. After the divorce, Puyi paid Wen Xiu 55,000 yuan for living expenses.
Second, Wen Xiu is allowed to take clothes and daily necessities with him.
Three, Li Wenxiu back to Beijing's family life, shall not do anything detrimental to the reputation of Puyi.
There are four agreements, one is Puyi and his lawyer, and the other is Wenxiu and her lawyer.
Wen Qi, Wenxiu's brother, wrote a letter to this effect and published it in the newspaper, accusing her: "It's terrible to hear that you want to file a divorce with Emperor Xun. Is it feasible for me to be conservative in this kind of incident? My family has been living in compassion for more than 200 years, and four generations have lived in Guanzhi Yipin. Moreover, Emperor Manyunxun didn't mistreat you, that is, if he did mistreat you, you should endure death to repay the kindness of the Qing Dynasty. Today, my sister, you are so confused and ridiculous! "
Wenxiu also wrote a letter to Wen Qi not to be outdone: "Sister and brother have different fathers and ancestors, and they have never been in contact. My sister has been in the palace for nine years and has never seen my brother. Now my brother is willing to teach her to resist death in the newspaper regardless of the provisions of Articles 299 and 325 of the Criminal Law of the Republic of China. And openly slander the third sister, so brave and admirable. Mei Wei was taught by her ancestors to abide by the law: if she is a citizen of the Qing Dynasty, she must abide by the laws of the Qing Dynasty; If you are a citizen, you will abide by the laws of the Republic of China. Before Emperor Xun was expelled from the palace, she declared that she didn't want to be a citizen of the Republic of China, so her sister hid the scissors and prepared to die with Emperor Xun. Heir came to Tianjin because of Emperor Xun and became a member of the Republic of China. How dare my sister not follow? As a national of the Republic of China, you should abide by the laws of the Republic of China. According to Article 6 of the Constitution of the Republic of China, all citizens of the Republic of China are equal in law, regardless of gender, race, religion or class. Because my sister has lived alone for nine years and has never been treated equally, I entrusted a lawyer to discuss ways to live separately. This requires the emperor to treat her humanely according to the laws of the Republic of China, and not to let her parents' bodies die of extrajudicial humiliation. Unexpectedly, my brothers falsely accused my sister of fleeing, divorcing, cheating money again and again, violating the teachings of our ancestors, being cheated by ordinary villains, and auctioning for others. If brother ............................................................................................................................... teaches people to resist death, he is guilty of public prosecution. The prosecutor saw the newspaper and was afraid to report it. I sincerely hope that my brother will read more law books in the future, and strive to be cautious in words and deeds and not violate the laws of the Republic of China. "
This righteous reply was called "Knife Princess Revolution" by people at that time after the news that "the imperial concubine divorced the emperor" spread. Shu Fei Wenxiu's sister Wenshan is the only one in the family who supports her divorce from Puyi.
After two months of negotiations signed by lawyers of both parties, the result is that Shu Fei Wenxiu and Emperor Puyi completely broke off relations, Puyi had to pay 55,000 silver dollars as alimony, and Wen Xiu could not remarry for life, and both parties did not harm each other's reputation.
