The Qianlong Emperor of the Qing Dynasty is simply a big mystery, the story about this emperor has been constantly mentioned by people, until now, many movies and TELEVISION series have used this emperor as the protagonist to tell his life story, as well as the brilliant Central Plains under his rule. The Qianlong Emperor was a good emperor who was diligent in government and loved the people, and what I want to talk to you about today is not the Qianlong Emperor's rule of the country but his personal private affairs, that is, the relationship between him and several younger brothers.
As members of the royal family, their family relationship is more complicated, itself is not monogamous, and many of their brothers and sisters are half-siblings, after all, an emperor can have three palaces and six courtyards of thousands of concubines are normal, in such a situation, the relationship between brothers and sisters has become a problem, take the Qianlong Emperor, he himself is the fourth prince, at that time his father had many sons, but his brothers only have two, the youngest one is called Hongzhan. From childhood to adulthood, the Qianlong Emperor let his brother, and the delicious and fun things were given to the younger brother first. Moreover, his younger brothers were not as prominent as themselves, some of them were just greedy for pleasure, some just loved to be a literati or run a business, while the Qianlong Emperor was a person who was single-mindedly serving the country and thinking of Jiangshan Sheji.
In his eyes, the youngest brother Hongzhan became his favorite younger brother, although his younger brother was not very sensible, and he did not have any success in his life, but after all, he was born of the same father. As the elder brother, the Qianlong Emperor showed love and help for his younger brother, which ran through their lives.
However, when the fourth brother officially became emperor, many things underwent essential changes, such as the family relationship between him and Hongzhan also had some unusual colors. From the perspective of rule, one is the ruler, and the other is the ruled, they are the relationship between the monarch and the subject, but from the relationship of affection, they are equal, and as the elder brother, Qianlong should care for his brother and educate him how to grow into a person who is useful to the country and society, but Hongzhan is not a very self-motivated person, for the country's major events he basically does not pay attention to, and he does not understand very well, when he has time, his favorite thing is to write and write poetry. But he was not a complete literati, and the poems he wrote were not very good.
His younger brother Hongzhan had a special habit, that is, greed for money. As far as the economic situation is concerned, the younger brother is not short of money at all, in a royal family born with a lot of wealth and glory, money can not be spent, but his brother does not know what is going on, full of thoughts are money and interests, and keen on business, but if he can grow into a big businessman, for the royal family is also a face of light.
However, Hongzhan's career development is not so smooth and smooth, and he is not a serious businessman, but he is taking advantage of loopholes, relying on his own power to act recklessly, and humiliating his brother. It turned out that the royal family members at that time also loved to buy luxury goods, just like the current situation, but the brother of the Qianlong Emperor was unwilling to spend money when buying luxury goods, and always owed accounts to others, which in the long run made people look down on people and think that this person did not pay attention to credit.
Of course, these accounts were all paid by the Qianlong Emperor in the end, and his brother added a lot of trouble to him, but these things are also some small things after all, and they cannot affect the great cause of the country, so when the Qianlong Emperor learned of his brother's misdeeds, he did not get angry, just scolded a few words, and really made the Qianlong Emperor angry and degraded his brother's official position and even cancelled all his servants, that was the most tragic, so what made the Qianlong Emperor so angry.
It turned out that Hongzhan liked to be greedy and cheap, and had nothing to do all day, but he did not expect that this younger brother actually started the idea of the Military Aircraft Department, which was a very important organ at that time, and it was all the emperor's cronies, and they discussed the major affairs of the state. Every move will have an important impact on the entire imperial court, and I did not expect that my brother actually looked at this place and wanted to steal secrets from this place. In this way, could the Qianlong Emperor not be angry? Therefore, Qianlong punished his brother fiercely. All his titles were cancelled, and his brother was particularly afraid of his brother, and after this incident, he became seriously ill, and he could not afford to be sick, but he did not expect that his condition would deteriorate rapidly, and he would not be able to do it in just a few months.
At this time, the Qianlong Emperor came to visit his brother. Said something comforting to him. Hongzhan knelt on the bed and nodded, after this meeting he looked up at the sky and sighed, he could finally leave this world, and after saying this sentence, he left this world.
