When it comes to the Qing Dynasty, most people probably have very complicated feelings about this dynasty, because this is the closest unified feudal dynasty to us, which not only created an unprecedented prosperity, but also opened the opium war, the disaster of the invasion of the great powers, the 296 years of the Great Qing Dynasty, a total of twelve emperors, including the Kangxi Emperor who quelled the Rebellion of the Three Domains, abolished the land enclosure order, rectified the government, and implemented the policy of benefiting the people, as well as the Qianlong Emperor inside and outside the An, so that the Qing Dynasty entered its heyday, which is what we call the Kangqian prosperous world.
However, when the Jiaqing Emperor took the throne, corruption and corruption prevailed in the imperial court, coupled with Qianlong's extravagant life in his later years, resulting in an empty treasury, and the Jiaqing Emperor was a man with mediocre qualifications and no great talents for governing the country from the previous emperors, so even if he did a series of measures to rectify internal affairs, rectify the discipline, and get rid of Hekun, a corrupt official who left a name in history, he still failed to stop the trend of the Qing Dynasty's decadence from the root, and the national strength declined rapidly, so during this period, there were also many absurd things that made future generations feel ridiculous.
The army lost the Great Seal
Throughout the ages, to see whether a country is stable or not, a large part depends on whether the national defense force is strong, so the military department responsible for national defense is particularly important, and the Tiger Fu Great Seal, which symbolizes the rights of the military department, is even more important, and all the dynasties have not dared to properly keep it, but when it comes to the Jiaqing Emperor, there is a big mistake!
One day, the Jiaqing Emperor was going to worship the tomb of emperor Xian, and as a result, he received a report from the bingbu on the way, and it was the tiger rune seal of the bingbu that was lost! What an important thing is this Tiger Rune Great Seal, if it falls into the hands of those who are plotting against you, wouldn't it be messed up?! The Jiaqing Emperor was immediately enraged and ordered that the matter must be strictly investigated, but at that time, the Qing Dynasty was no longer the dynasty in its heyday, with chaotic internal management, corrupt and incompetent officials, and no result could be found at all, and in the end it was still impossible.
The Royal Garden is used as a sheepfold
Under the ancient feudal king system, the imperial palace, can be said to be the most majestic, the most sacred and inviolable place, the emperor as the son of heaven above ten thousand people, eating and sleeping are special palaces, and the place where the usual rest and play is the royal garden, we all know that the royal things, that is, the emperor uses, everything in the palace, are for the emperor's service, there is such a day, The Jiaqing emperor is idle, go to the royal garden to relax, I want to enjoy the flowers and smell the fragrance, who knows that I smelled a peculiar smell, take a closer look, There was a flock of sheep grazing leisurely in the Imperial Garden! The Jiaqing Emperor ordered people to investigate, it turned out that this sheep was a eunuch in order to earn extra money, consulted with the vendors outside the palace, and privately raised in the royal garden, completely ignoring the emperor's majesty!
Even a small eunuch dared not to put the emperor in his eyes in this way, which shows how corrupt the Qing Dynasty was at that time, the decline in national strength, internal and external troubles, and frequent rebellions, which were also inevitable things, and now it seems that people will feel both ridiculous and lamentable.
Baylor who was addicted to big smoke and missed big things
For a feudal dynasty, the quality of officials is related to the foundation of the country, is particularly important, and in ancient times, the imperial examination is the main way to elect talents, after the examination, the imperial court to hold a ceremony, announce the results of this year, this day is related to the future career of students across the country, but also related to the future of the country, it can be said that it is very serious and solemn, and on this day of the twenty-fourth year of Jiaqing, the ceremony was held as scheduled, but Delin Belle, who should have served as a guide, did not arrive for a long time, resulting in all the processes being chaotic. The Jiaqing Emperor thought that something had happened, and immediately ordered someone to look for it, and as a result, he went to the Belle Mansion to see that this person was lying on the bed and smoking a big cigarette! Forgetting all the serious things, the Jiaqing Emperor was furious, and he was knighted and rewarded with forty large plates to set an example, but we can also see that even Beizi was addicted to this thing, and the Qing Dynasty at that time was already corrupt from the root.
Such things seem very ridiculous now, but after laughing, what remains is more of a sigh, the rise and fall of a country, the time and place, and the people, how future generations comment are from God's point of view, we can only learn from it, and strive to move forward in the long river of history.
