On March 11, the thirteenth year of the Qianlong Dynasty, Qianlong's original empress Fucha died of illness in Dezhou, Shandong, so that the eldest brother Yonghuan, who was the eldest son of the emperor, came to greet the funeral, but during the funeral of Empress Fucha, the eldest brother Yonghuan and the third brother Yongzhang did not feel sad but showed joy, and the Qianlong Emperor was furious and severely reprimanded the two of them.
Since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, there has never been an emperor who succeeded to the throne as the eldest son, and the Qianlong Emperor, who was deeply influenced by Han culture, always wanted to change this situation after succeeding to the throne, so he attached great importance to the prince born to Empress Fucha. In July of the first year of Qianlong, the Qianlong Emperor imitated his father Yongzheng's secret construction of the reserve, wrote down the candidate for the crown prince in his mind on a secret decree, and placed it behind the "Zhengda Guangming" plaque in the Qianqing Palace, when Qianlong had only three princes: the nine-year-old Elder Brother Yonghuan, the seven-year-old Second Brother Yonglian, and the two-year-old Third Brother Yongzhang. Because the Qing Dynasty had a tradition of "establishing a virtuous person without establishing a concubine", it was not possible to determine which prince Qianlong was standing at that time, but all this was soon revealed.
In October of the third year of Qianlong, the second brother Yonglian fell ill with a cold, but he did not expect to die because of it, the Qianlong Emperor was very sad, and then ordered someone to take down the secret will behind the "Zhengda Guangming" plaque, so that the brother who was first established as the crown prince finally had an answer, he was the eldest son Yonglian. Through this incident, which had a very bad impact, the Qianlong Emperor sent a message to everyone: he wanted to make his concubine the crown prince.
A few years later, the seventh son of the emperor born to Empress Fucha, Yong Chun, was born, and the Qianlong Emperor was impatient to secretly appoint the crown prince, who knew that Yong Chun had just turned one year old and died of pox, Qianlong's heart once again fell to the bottom, the Qianlong Emperor could not suppress his grief, and even said the inner candidate, he was the seventh son of the emperor Yong Chun. As a result, everyone understood everything, and the Qianlong Emperor took the establishment of concubines as the first principle. The premature death of the seventh son of the Emperor, Yong Chun, was a considerable blow to Empress Fucha, who was physically and mentally exhausted, mentally and physically weaker and weaker, and finally died of a violent illness in the thirteenth year of Qianlong, and was honored as Empress Xiaoxian.
Empress Xiaoxian died, and there was no greatest joy than the eldest brother Yong Huang, because this actually declared the bankruptcy of the principle of primogeniture pursued by her father, and established a long life without a concubine, which was the idea of Yong Huang and most of his courtiers. And the third brother Yongzhang, because he knew that his father had not chosen himself twice, and That Empress Fucha was not his birth mother, and that his birth mother was a pure noble concubine of the Su clan, neither Yong Huang nor Yong Zhang had a sad expression at the funeral of Empress Xiaoxian. When the Qianlong Emperor noticed this, Thunder thundered in anger, reprimanded the two princes, and withheld the salaries of the two masters, and what was even more fatal was that the two princes completely withdrew from the political stage.
