If Yongzheng really is like the Qianlong Emperor after 60 years in power, he will be 105 years old, and this hypothesis is too difficult to realize.
When the Yongzheng Emperor succeeded to the throne in 1722, he was already 45 years old, and if he really worked for 60 years and then died, then Yongzheng would be 105 years old when he died, which would not only be at the top of the list of imperial life expectancy in ancient Chinese feudal history, but also very long-lived in modern society.
At the same time, it has to be said that Qianlong only lived 89 years old in his life, so the Yongzheng Emperor, who is known for his diligence, is busy with government affairs every day, only gives himself a day off every year, only rests for four or five hours a day, plus long-term alchemy and medicine, it is really difficult to live to this age.
So let Yongzheng be in front of 60 years, this hypothesis can be realized too difficult.
If Yongzheng reigned for more than 13 years and as long as possible, the economy of the Qing Dynasty would continue to develop, the rule of officials would continue to innovate, the monarchy would be further strengthened, and the national strength of the Qing Dynasty would continue to increase.
It has to be admitted that Yongzheng was the most diligent and diligent emperor among the 12 emperors of the Qing Dynasty.
Yongzheng reigned for 13 years, leaving more than 10 million words of Zhu Ping, it can be said that Yongzheng has been in a busy work since the day he ascended the throne, and of course, he has achieved very good results in governing the country.
Yongzheng successively implemented a series of new policies: dividing the land into acres, reducing the burden on ordinary peasants and the people, promoting population growth, maintaining the interests of the people at the bottom of society, and protecting the foundation of the state; the gentry receiving grain as a whole, alleviating the contradictions between social classes; returning fire to the public, increasing the state's income, standardizing the circulation of non-governmental money, although reducing the additional income of officials, but through the implementation of the system of raising clean silver, the greed of officials was greatly reduced, and the officials no longer had the idea of burning and consuming silver. It improved the atmosphere of the officialdom; and through the reform of the land and returned to the stream, the state strengthened its rule over the minority areas; the establishment of the Military Aircraft Department completely abolished the restrictions on the imperial power of the traditional Eight Banners Aristocratic Council system; the development of the secret folding system, so that he could know the affairs of the world when he sat in the capital division, and further strengthened the absolute monarchy.
This series of measures not only enabled Kangxi to solve many social, economic and official political problems accumulated in his later years, but also allowed the country to develop rapidly. What is more crucial is that the situation of the national treasury being empty is completely shaken off, Yongzheng reigned for thirteen years, and the national treasury silver increased from less than 7 million taels when Yongzheng just succeeded to the throne to more than 50 million taels, if Yongzheng's rule can continue, the treasury's silver must be more and more, and even as long as Yongzheng is given 5-10 years, Yongzheng can increase the treasury's silver to 100 million taels.
Yongzheng's outstanding political achievements still cannot hide the reality of the Qing Dynasty's derailment from the world, nor can it get rid of the situation in which the Qing Dynasty was "fat beaten" by the world powers in the mid-to-late 19th century.
The "Eight Strands of Literature" and "Literal Prison" imprisoned the thinking of readers, "heavy agriculture and suppression of commerce" restricted the transformation of the social and economic structure, and "closed country" completely isolated the Qing Dynasty from the development of the world.
The advanced ideas, advanced systems, and advanced technologies of Europe and the United States have nothing to do with the Great Qing, and the great purge of the political management system has been developed, and in the remaining fields, it has almost lost its creation, and the level of science and technology and culture is completely backward and the world.
Throughout the 18th world, China experienced the "Kang Yongqian prosperous era", the feudal monarchy reached its peak, but in Contrast to Europe and the United States, Britain has completed the bourgeois revolution and launched the industrial revolution, the United States has won the War of Independence, France is also brewing a great revolution, the world is developing at the same time, but the Qing Dynasty has stagnated its pace of progress.
Although the Yongzheng Emperor is a good emperor who governs the country very well, it is undeniable that even if Yongzheng can really be in power for 60 years, he still cannot open the door of the Qing Dynasty, still cannot connect the Qing dynasty with the world, and the level of science and technology cannot be improved, especially in terms of military strength, there is a clear trend of disconnection with the world, and this ultimately can not change the situation in the middle and late 19th century when the Qing Dynasty was backward and beaten and "fat beaten" by the world powers.
After Yongzheng's death, the length of Qianlong's reign and the development and outcome of the Qing Dynasty did not have much substantive change, because the system remained unchanged, the system remained unchanged, and the final outcome of the Qing Dynasty would not change, but if Yongzheng could be succeeded by Prince Gong Yixuan, the result might be really different.
Many times, everyone criticizes Qianlong as a loser, defeated the foundation created by Yongzheng for him, squandered the treasury of the Qing Dynasty, left a vain prosperity to his son Jiaqing, and made the Qing Dynasty no longer able to fight against the world powers.
If we suppose, if we ask who will give the prosperous situation and the abundant treasury assets left by Yongzheng, we can make good use of it and bring the Qing Dynasty to the forefront of the world, I think this person should be Prince Gong Yixuan.
Many people say that if Daoguang had passed the throne to Yixuan instead of to the Xianfeng Emperor Yixuan, then China's modern and modern history would not have been so humiliating.
Looking at the royal family of the late Qing Dynasty, Yi Chen was the most agile of all the royal family members, the most open-minded, the most accepted and recognized for foreign systems, technologies and cultures, and more importantly, Yi Chen's ability was really strong, whether it was internal governance or external communication, it showed his outstanding ability.
Therefore, if the abundant treasury left by Yongzheng, the clean and honest cadre team, and the strengthened monarchical centralization can all be handed over to Yixuan, so that Yixuan has money, people, and the power to carry out reform and development, perhaps the outcome of the Great Qing will really be different.
