Qianlong had 17 sons, and among these 17 sons, in addition to the 7 princes who died early, there were 10 princes who grew up healthy. Among the 10 princes, one of them was very special, his birth mother was a noble imperial concubine, but this son was given to the chancellor by Qianlong when he grew up. In ancient times, this ceremony was very sacred, and the prince given to someone else was not eligible to inherit the throne, that is, the son was lost to the throne from then on. Who is this poor prince? He was Yong Juan, the fourth son of Qianlong.
Before Qianlong ascended the throne, he already had three sons, namely Yong Huang, Yong Lian, and Yong Zhang. Among them, Yonglian was born by Empress Xiaoxian fucha, and the name implied a deep meaning of inheritance, and Qianlong had high expectations for him, but Yonglian died unexpectedly before he reached adulthood, which became a pain that Qianlong could not touch.
In the fourth year of Qianlong, Jia Concubine Jin gave birth to a son, Yong juan, which was the fourth son of the Qianlong Emperor. Jin's identity is not high, just a small family of women who grew up, but she has a place that Qianlong loves very much, that is, outstanding looks, because there is Korean blood in the ancestors, the Jin family's facial features are charming, and she is quite favored after marrying Qianlong, and she gave birth to four sons for Qianlong in her life.
It should be known that Qianlong only has a total of 17 princes, and it can also be seen from here that the favor of the Jin family is not something that ordinary people can replace. Unfortunately, the Jin clan was a short-lived person, and she died at the age of 43, and Qianlong specially posthumously honored her as a noble concubine of the Shujia Emperor to show his attachment to the Jin clan.
It is reasonable to say that Yong Jun, whose mother is an imperial concubine, should be qualified enough to compete with many princes for the position of crown prince, but his own qualifications are really unremarkable, even if Qianlong likes the Jin family no matter how much, he cannot change Yong Juan from an ordinary person to the appearance of his successor in his heart, and over time Qianlong's relationship with Yong Juan will become more and more weak.
In the twenty-eighth year of Qianlong, the chancellor of the Qianlong Dynasty, Yin Qi, died, leaving no blood. The ancients felt that there were three filial pieties, and no queen was greater, so Qianlong thought about it and gave the fourth son of the emperor, YongJun, who had grown up, to this minister, so that he could succeed him. In ancient times, inheritance was very important, and Yongjun was passed over to Yin's name, which meant that Yongjun completely lost the opportunity to compete for the throne, and since then he has lost touch with the throne. In fact, this is unfair to Yong Juan, as a prince, who does not want to be the Ninth Five-Year Dignity of the King of a Country? Being simply abandoned by his biological father like this, Presumably the taste in Yong Juan's heart must be uncomfortable.
However, his father Qianlong ruthlessly denied him, and it was reasonable that Yongjun would be dissatisfied, but he could not resist, and the pain tightly entangled him, so that he could not sleep at night, and it did not take long for him to become ill, and finally Yongjun, like his mother Shujia Emperor Guifei, died at a young age, he was only 39 years old when he died, and later he was posthumously crowned, and was posthumously crowned as a prince by the Jiaqing Emperor who succeeded him.
