This Jiaqing emperor is the least present emperor since the Qing Dynasty entered the pass. Emperor Jiaqing has been in power for 25 years and has done the most beautiful thing. The one who has been on the hot search is to eradicate the corrupt officials Heshen . Apart from this, he really can't make any political achievements. He belongs to the kind of "no such person" in history. Although Emperor Jiaqing did not have any outstanding abilities, he did not have fatal shortcomings, so many people find it difficult to understand. Why did Qianlong , who has always been confident and far-sighted, choose such a mediocre son to inherit the throne?
The concept of legitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illeg Although Qianlong had seventeen sons in his life, it was a pity that most of his sons died in childhood.
As we all know, Qianlong’s favorite is of course the two legitimate sons born to his wife, Empress Xiaoxian . He once wanted to make Empress Xiaoxian's son the crown prince twice. One is that Emperor Qianlong and Empress Xiaoxian have a very deep relationship, and on the other hand, these two legitimate sons are indeed outstanding. Qianlong evaluated the first legitimate son Yonglian as "smart and precious, extraordinary", and the second legitimate son Yongcong as "from the right legitimate son, extremely intelligent".
When he first ascended the throne, Yonglian, who was only seven years old, was named the crown prince. Of course, because Emperor Yongzheng set a precedent for secretly establishing a crown prince, he personally wrote a secret order, placed it in front of the kings and ministers, and hid it behind the plaque of "Zhengda Guangming" in the Qianqing Palace.
At that time, Qianlong was young and vigorous, and believed that The biggest regret since the founding of the Qing Dynasty was that no emperor succeeded to the throne with his eldest son, which did not conform to the principle that the eldest son was the most important.
Because starting from Zhou Dynasty , all dynasties believed that when a crown prince was established, the eldest son should be the first. Therefore, when Qianlong, who was determined to surpass his predecessors in everything, he secretly made up his mind to be more perfect than his ancestors when it came to the throne.
Unfortunately, neither of the two legitimate sons had any blessings and died one after another. Empress Fucha could not bear the blow and died of illness, and Qianlong's wish to establish a legitimate son was so disappointed.
The death of the legitimate sons one after another was a very heavy blow to Emperor Qianlong. Qianlong, who believed in destiny very much, believed that this was the retribution of God to him for his desire to challenge destiny. He later said in his edict: Since I ascended the throne, my legitimate son has died repeatedly, which is really incomprehensible. Maybe it is God who wants to surpass his ancestors and do things that God does not allow, so he is so retribution. From then on, Qianlong stopped thinking of establishing a legitimate son.
If you don’t have a legitimate son, you must have a concubine’s son. When Empress Xiaoxian died in the 13th year of Qianlong, among the princes, the eldest son Yonghuang and the third son Yongzhang, had two older sons, who died one after another in Qianlong. It was obvious that Yonghuang and Yongzhang were more likely to inherit the throne.
But Qianlong is more cautious than anyone else, so he is extremely strict in governing the princes. No matter how old the princes are, whether they are married or not, they can only stay in the palace and study all day long and cannot interact with the outside world at will.
The strict restrictions and low treatment of the princes of the Qianlong Dynasty were so strict, why? Qianlong was very cautious and prevented anyone from threatening his power. So sometimes, his guardianship of his son is as nervous as he is. Therefore, although Yonghuang and Yongzhang performed rituals and were in line with the rules at the queen's funeral, Qianlong didn't like him anyway.
Qianlong believed that the eldest son died and the throne was most likely theirs, so he was secretly happy in his heart, so he thought that his grief was pretending.
The queen's mourning period just ended a hundred days ago. Qianlong blamed Yonghuang for not being sad about his legitimate mother's death, and the third prince Yongzhang did not have the heart of filial piety. Emperor Qianlong made a murderous intent and made it clear that the eldest prince 1, , 3rd prince is so unfilial and must not be the candidate for the prince.
This reprimand was actually just that Qianlong was in an abnormal mood after the death of the queen. However, his anger scared the eldest prince.Because of this fright, the eldest prince Yonghuang fell seriously ill when he went back and died of fear in the fifteenth year of Qianlong's reign, only one year and nine months after Qianlong criticized him.
Hearing that the eldest prince Yonghuang was seriously scared and ill, Qianlong also regretted it very much. On his deathbed, Qianlong personally visited Yonghuang Mansion. In order to make up for the uneasiness in his heart, the emperor posthumously awarded Yonghuang as Prince Ding'an. Throughout his life, Qianlong gave special care to the eldest son of the emperor.
Later, Fifth Prince Yongqi entered Qianlong's sight again. Yes, it was Yongqi, the male lead in " Return of the Condor Heroes and Princess ". The fifth prince Yongqi is good at riding and shooting, abides by filial piety, and is proficient in multiple languages. He is both civil and military. No matter whether it is character or talent, Qianlong was very satisfied with him and once wanted to make him the crown prince. Unexpectedly, fate played a big joke with Qianlong. Yongqi also died of illness at the age of 25.
On the day when he heard the bad news, Qianlong almost fainted from crying. The successive blows made Qianlong lose all his thoughts. For a long time, he did not plan to become a crown prince.
Until the 38th year of Qianlong, the 63-year-old Qianlong finally decided to make the fifteenth prince Yongyan the crown prince, which was the subsequent Emperor Jiaqing. Because Yongyan was born to Qianlong's favorite Concubine Ling , in his eyes, the fifteenth prince Yongyan was also considered the legitimate son. In addition, Jiaqing is also the better son of Qianlong's philosophers. There are only two people who can compare with him except Yongyan , but Jiaqing is more in line with Qianlong's criteria for choosing successors.
Jiaqing is more in line with Qianlong's successor standards
In fact, Qianlong did not include it in the inspection at first, but God seemed to be unable to get along with Qianlong. His two legitimate sons died one after another, and even the fifth prince Yongqi, who was deeply favored by Qianlong, died of illness.
In the 38th year of Qianlong's reign, only seven of the seventeen sons were left. The twelfth prince Yongqi was not qualified to be listed as the crown prince because his biological mother was Empress Nara , which is the queen who was deposed by Qianlong. The fourth prince Yongshang and the sixth prince Yongshang were adopted by Qianlong to other princes as descendants, so they did not have the chance to be appointed as crown prince.
By the age of Qianlong, there were only four sons living at this time: Yongxuan , Yongyan, Yongyan and Yonglin .
Although the eighth prince Yongxuan is the oldest, she is addicted to alcohol and sex, is restless and perverted, and is often scolded by Qianlong, and was kicked out at the earliest.
As for the seventeenth prince Yonglin, I am afraid that he is the most incompetent among the brothers. He is submissive and lacks opinion. His son has not liked to study since he was a child. When he was a little older, he often sneaked out of trouble, so he was also excluded by Qianlong.
In the later years of Qianlong, only Yongxing and Yongyan were allowed to choose from. It is said that Yongyan and Yongyan have a huge difference in personalities. Yongyan is very independent in his work, smart and wise, and talented. Yongyan is a polite person, and is kind and filial. As the Qing Dynasty gradually weakened, it is logical that Qianlong should have chosen a prince like Yongyan with a distinct personality, independent and decisive killing and decisive prince to inherit the throne. But why did Qianlong pass the throne to Yongyan?
What the fifteenth prince Yongyan satisfied Qianlong was that he was a young man, had strong self-control, and was full of perseverance and perseverance. Honest and honest, and sincere to others. He is filial, well-behaved and obedient. In terms of academic performance, his grades are outstanding and he is second to none among his brothers. This is all for Qianlong to appreciate.
In fact, Qianlong has a strong desire for power and control. The strict rules he chose to follow for successors not only depends on his ability, but whether the other party listens to his authority and spares no effort to maintain his authority without any discount. He follows her policies. Obviously, Jiaqing has all these.
After Qianlong reigned for 60 years, he announced his abdication and passed the throne to Jiaqing. In fact, he had been controlling the government affairs. When he received the envoys after the abdication, he clearly declared to all countries: "Although I return to power, I will do the major issues."
It is obvious that Qianlong was just passing on the throne, not the power. For Qianlong, choosing Yongyan, who was mediocre in all aspects as the emperor was better than allowing Yongyan, who was outstanding and uncontrollable in all aspects, to remain in power.
And Jiaqing was also frustrated as the emperor. He had to watch dramas every day to pass the time. After Qianlong finally left reluctantly, when Jiaqing was in power, he was almost forty. Jiaqing was about to show off his skills, but found that his father had left a huge mess.
First, the corrupt official Heshen left behind by Qianlong, the first thing Jiaqing did was to eradicate the corrupt official Heshen. Secondly, a bunch of civil uprisings were left behind. Qianlong spent money in the past, and these bad debts were finally paid for by the people, so the farmers had already begun to rebel in various ways.
But in the early Kangxi and Qianlong prosperous times, these are nothing. When Qianlong finished his good life and the prosperous times faded, these folk uprisings became the main projects during the Jiaqing period.
So it took Jiaqing ten years to suppress the White Lotus Sect that has been causing trouble among the people. Therefore, although Jiaqing has not made any great achievements, he has achieved some achievements. After all, his ability is there, and at least he has fulfilled his mission in taking the blame.
to the end
Emperor Qianlong, who held power all his life, loved power as his eyes, overdefense, and was attached to it to the point of being almost incompetent, and he lived a long life, and his sons either died prematurely or lived a long life without him. The choice between Yongyan and Yongyan is more suitable for his "abdication" standard, because he is still the lord of a country when he wants to abdicate.
Facts have proved that it was not until after he truly abdicated the throne that Qianlong realized that he chose the successor he chose was too right. Jiaqing was filial and obeyed his words. He always held power during his abdication. It was under the influence of Qianlong's selfishness that the mediocre and boring Jiaqing gradually brought the Qing Dynasty into an abyss that could never be restored. It was not until 1840 that the Opium War broke out and the entire Qing Dynasty was completely at a dead end.
