" Global History " describes the dynasty of China as described in this way. At the beginning of the founding of the country, there were generally wise monarchs. Under his rule, the country began to become stronger. Then two or three generations consolidated the regime, and then it would inevitably decline. Although the Lord of Revival will also appear to continue to contribute to the dynasty, he will never escape the extinction of his destiny.
1. The special nature of inheritance of the throne
The emperor of the Qing Dynasty did not follow the system of establishing the eldest son and establishing the legitimate son to determine the emperor, but talented people took the throne. Take the three emperors of Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong who are most popular as examples. They are not the eldest sons, nor are they legitimate sons. Their ability to ascend the throne is based on their own strength. Therefore, those who hold the throne are basically capable people, so of course there will be no foolish emperors. After all, when choosing, the emperor chosen is not stupid.
2. There was no authority in the Qing Dynasty. There were cabinets in the Ming Dynasty
. There were a few eunuchs such as Andehai , Li Lianying , Zhang Rande , and a few big eunuchs appeared in the Qing Dynasty. They were still quite glorious. However, no matter how glorious and decent they are, the power they hold is always limited. It is not like the Ming Dynasty eunuch Wei Zhongxian , who covers the sky with only one hand, and even the emperor is afraid of him. It can be said that in the end, there was no eunuch's autocracy in the Qing Dynasty. The existence of the Ming Dynasty cabinet prompted many emperors to do whatever they want. For example, Emperor Wanli Zhu Yijun has not been to court for decades, Emperor Ming Xizong Zhu Youxiao focused on carpenter work, thus abandoning the government affairs, Emperor Jiajing The emperor was superstitious about alchemist, loved the art of immortality, and broke out " Renyin Palace Transformation " and died almost at the hands of palace maids.
3. The false of Kangxi and Qianlong prosperity
Historically, the prosperous The prosperous of the Tang Dynasty was called by the living conditions, economic levels and other conditions of the people in China at that time, but the existence of the Kangxi and Qianlong prosperity was decided by the rulers themselves. (A historian only writes a few strokes and it will be a prosperous era) The common thinker of Kangxi Tang Zhen " Qianshu " mentioned: "In the fifty years of Qingxing, the four seas have become increasingly poor, with farmers, industrial workers, markets, and officials... Most of the people in Wuzhong sold their children in the north."
However, during the Qianlong period, the British envoy Macani came to China, there were many beggars on the streets of Beijing. Many people have scattered heads and ragged clothes, so he described , the Qing Dynasty, as a giant with mud feet. While learning the habits of the Han people, they constantly preached their Kangxi and Qianlong eras to the world, and kept telling the world how good it is. It seems that only in this way can their dynasty be passed down forever, as if in this way, no Han people would come out to protest and would agree with their regime. In fact, the Kangxi and Qianlong periods had largely had fictional elements.
to the Daoguang When the emperor saw opium poisoning and did not manage it, he was afraid of the British army and dismissed Lin Zexu . He had no demeanor of a great power emperor at all. Later, the emperor of Xianfeng was even captured. The essence of the Yuanmingyuan for more than a hundred years was destroyed. Then to the later Tongzhi , Cixi . These were the ignorant emperors of the Qing Dynasty. It was precisely because of their inaction that the Chinese people fell into a century of disaster. dynasties like
can tell that there are no tyrants, so what other dynasties will have tyrants?
