Introduction
The Qianlong Emperor, also known as Emperor Gaozong of the Qing Dynasty, was surnamed Ai Xin Jueluo and was named Hongli. When he was a child, he was already deeply loved by his grandfather, the Kangxi Emperor, and his father, the Yongzheng Emperor. At the age of twenty-five, he succeeded to the throne as the sixth emperor of the Qing Dynasty and the fourth emperor after entering the pass. After ruling for sixty years, and after giving way to the throne, he actually controlled the largest real power for more than three years, and it can be said that he was one of the longest-ruling emperors in the history of our country, second only to his grandfather, the Kangxi Emperor.
In 1799, he left the world in a deep sleep at the age of 89, which is the longest-lived emperor in the history of our country. He successively took thirty or forty concubines and gave birth to 17 sons.
Qianlong's sons
Of these 17 sons, there are those who live long, those who die early, those who are clever and clever, and those who are mediocre. The 15th son, Yong Yan, was born when the Qianlong Emperor was fifty years old, and he can be regarded as an old man. Although his talent is not bad, among the many princes, it is not outstanding.
In history, Yongyan did not give a deep impression before he ascended the throne, and the key characteristics were: steady temperament, proper behavior, and diligent learning. As everyone knows, he was actually secretly made a better crown prince by the Qianlong Emperor before he was fifteen years old. Before the age of thirty, he had been crowned prince of Heshuojia. When he was thirty-six years old, he actually became the Jiaqing Emperor, why was this?
The empress's eldest son, Yong Huang, was considered disobedient at the funeral of Empress Fucha and was stripped of his qualifications as a lichu, and died at the age of twenty-two. The second son of the Emperor, Yong Lian, was the eldest son of a concubine, and he died of illness before the age of 10. The third son of the Emperor, Yongzhang, suffered and died at the age of thirty because of the same fate and reasons as his brother. The fourth son of the Emperor, Yong Jue, was changed to someone else, the fifth son of the Emperor, Yong Qi, died of illness at the age of twenty-five, and the sixth son of the Emperor, Yong Jue, was changed to someone else. The seventh son of the Emperor, Yongxuan, died prematurely, and the eighth son of the Emperor, Yongxuan, was a disabled person, his personal character was not very good, and his demeanor was frivolous, so he did not have the qualification of Li Chu. The ninth son of the emperor died early, the tenth son of the emperor died early, and the thirteenth, fourteenth, and sixteenth sons all died early.
There are still eleven sons, twelve sons, and seventeen sons left, and these three emperors can compete with the fifteenth son, Yong yan, for the throne, and the twelve sons of Yong Xuan are very worth mentioning. His mother was huifa nala, a Manchurian yellow flag man, and the second queen of the Qianlong Emperor. But this child was very unfortunate, and before he was fifteen years old, his mother died after being beaten into the cold palace. He was also affected and died before he was twenty-five years old.
For the seventeenth son, YongXuan, he was the youngest son of the Qianlong Emperor. He was arguably the most incompetent emperor, doing nothing and wandering around, so he did not like his father and did not have the qualifications to be a reserve. But he may be alone.
The eleventh son, Yong Yao, was also the son of the JinJia clan. He was a well-known calligrapher of the Qing Dynasty, and his calligraphy and painting skills were ranked side by side with Weng Fanggang, Liu Yong and Tie Bao. The man was deep-minded and erudite, and could be regarded as a powerful opponent of the fifteen sons of Yongyan. The Qianlong Emperor praised his talent, but did not appreciate his integrity.
I heard that he took away all his dowries from his wife, who was forced to dress in coarse clothes and linen every day and eat light tea and light rice. Even more pompous is that when he heard that his beloved horse had died, he cried and instructed the whole family to eat horse meat. He took the lead in eating horse meat and did not allow other meals to be eaten. Is the person really cutting or pretending?
Why did Qianlong pass the throne to Jiaqing?
The Qianlong Emperor frequently reprimanded this restless son, but Yong Yao still did not repent, but once again deceived and deceived. As a result, he lost his qualification to stand up for storage. That's it, the fifteenth brother Yongyan, his brothers and brothers: early death, disabled disability, sick and dead at a young age, 2 brothers were changed to other clan members, alone and alone.
Except for the eleven-year-old Yongyao, there was also a little threat, and others did not have the slightest threat to him. At this time, after a long period of thought, the Qianlong Emperor finally decided to send the throne to a stable and calm person, to a shoucheng king in his eyes.
In 1795, the fifteenth brother Yongyan was finally proclaimed crown prince. The following year, he ascended the throne and honored the Qianlong Emperor as Emperor Taishang. However, before his death, the Qianlong Emperor controlled the greatest real power from beginning to end. In 1799, emperor Taishang died, and the 39-year-old Yongyan, the Jiaqing Emperor, finally came to power.
Despite his ambitions, his abilities were limited, so he reigned for 25 years and still did not achieve great achievements. The Qing Dynasty was weakening day by day, and he was more than enough in this matter, after all, the Qianlong Emperor had left them a very bad stall. As for his disabled starling, he lived nearly 90 years, and the eleventh brother who was preoccupied lived to be about seventy years old, and he lived longer than him.
