The Day Pi Pi learns abt the Qing Dynasty's emperors

Went to the teahouse with kl and one of my fans, mei todae. Kl and Mei chanced upon the Qing emperors cos mei was watching the drama, 九五至尊. And as Kl wanted to show off her little knowledge, pi pi learnt a bit more as a result..

Looked up the Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, wanted to check whether kl was correct, here's a bit more for mei : Apparently 皇太极 was the Manchu emperor who invaded China, but he died one month before his army conquered beijing. Hence, his son, 顺治, became the first Qing emperor instead. Kl din get that fully right.. hehe..
After 顺治, was 康熙, who succeeded to the throne at the age of 7. (yup, she was right) When he died, his fourth son, 雍正 (the character in the drama), became the emperor. But hor.. there were controversial theories that he ursurped the throne.. hmm.. But he did order his son to commit suicide.. ruthless..

乾隆, son of 雍正, was the fourth emperor. Unlike kl said, 光绪, was not the son of 乾隆. He's still quite far back. After 乾隆, his son, 嘉庆， succeeded to the throne. 嘉庆 was succeeded by his son, 道光. Thereafter, 咸丰 came in and was succeeded by 同治，son of the famous 慈禧. However, he died at 19 with no sons to succeed him. 慈禧 then appointed her nephew, 光绪 (finally!) to the throne.. When he died one day before 慈禧, 溥仪, the last emperor of China, was appointed to the throne, again by 慈禧. Wonder if history would change if 光绪
had survived.. Thus end the line of Qing emperors.. me reallie knowledgeable now..

Anyway, got mei addicted to the palm game in the teahouse, she played and played, trying to defeat my past scores.. hehe.. Although she succeeded finally, it was with the help of kl.. still got long way to go.. hiak hiak.. my fan still need to practise more.. pi pi pi!!
