When it comes to the Qianlong Emperor, most people may only think of the plot in Huan Zhu Gege, if you really want to study the historical image, then there is no doubt that the Qianlong Emperor will soon be scolded in the wind and messy.
Why? Because during the Qianlong Emperor's period, he refused to integrate the Qing Dynasty with the world, and frantically engaged in literary prisons, suppressed southern readers, and even the foreign war was a mess, and he also boasted about himself. Therefore, the hat of the Qianlong Emperor's perfect old man was no longer as golden as he thought, but like a dog skin plaster, people could not bear to look at it directly.
However, perhaps no one would have thought that the Qianlong Emperor, who was later scolded like that in history, was actually very powerful when he was a child. As recorded in history, the old Kangxi Emperor was startled at first sight of him, and was so shocked that he even put down his wine glass. So what's going on here?
In history, we often talk about a concept, that is, when the old emperor chooses a successor, many times it is not only the character of the successor himself, but more importantly, they will also look at the level of the successor.
There are many such cases in history, such as the famous emperor Sima Yan, who wanted to pass the world on to his stupid son Sima Zheng after unifying the Three Kingdoms, and many people laughed at him for being confused, but he laughed at the fact that everyone could not see through it, because he felt that Sima Zheng's son had the demeanor of Sima Yi and would certainly be able to lead the Eastern Jin Dynasty to prosperity in the future.
The same Ming Dynasty also had such a case, when Ming Chengzu did not like his son Zhu Gaozi, but because Zhu Gaozi had a good son, Zhu Zhan was based on a good saint who directly let the prince stabilize the throne, making the King of Han a victim of history.
So the question is, did the Qianlong Emperor of that year also have such an encounter? Not to mention, there are records in black and white in the history books, and the Qianlong Emperor also had such a dashing life, and it is said that it is precisely because of his existence that the balance of fate is biased to his father's side.
As recorded in the history books, the Little Qianlong Emperor was very smart and very cute, so he became the heart and liver treasure of the Yongzheng Emperor not long after he was born, and he had to take him with him every day.
It just so happened that the Kowloon conquest was in a fierce moment, and the old Kangxi Emperor also felt more and more exhausted, so he also began to become irritable about the affairs behind him. Just at this time, Yongzheng discovered the pain of the old emperor, so he specially invited the emperor to his garden, hoping to feel the breath of life in the blooming peony and dissolve his troubles.
In the face of Yongzheng's gracious invitation, the Kangxi Emperor finally agreed, so he strode to the garden.
Coincidentally, just when the Kangxi Emperor was holding a wine glass and wanted to relax, he suddenly heard the Yongzheng Emperor clapping his palms, and a small child walked in. Only to see this child in the midst of a thousand flowers, next to the warm sunshine, and then revealed the sweetest smile, and followed Yongzheng's eyes, very honestly to the Kangxi Emperor, shouting the emperor's grandfather.
I have to say that this scene greatly stimulated the Kangxi Emperor, who was originally very depressed, and he felt very magical on the spot, and then carefully looked at the little grandson in front of him, the more he looked at it, the more he felt frightened, hurriedly put down the cup, and went up to hug his grandson.
Only to see the Yongzheng next to him tell him that the child in front of him was Kangxi's little grandson, who had been smart and clever since childhood, and looked lovely, and it just so happened that the flowers were blooming today, so he hoped to take his young son to make the old father happy.
It should be said that the Kangxi Emperor at this moment was very happy, only to see him holding his little grandson and asking about the east and west, which not only contained the old man's love for the child, but also contained some of the elders' consideration of the younger generation. According to the historical records, the Little Qianlong Emperor seemed to be very clever, and there was not a single mistake in the Kangxi Emperor's investigation, and all of them answered.
And because the child's voice was very good, above the childish face, there was also the brilliance of wisdom, so the Qianlong Emperor successfully brushed the Kangxi Emperor with full marks.
According to later historical records, since meeting this little grandson, the Kangxi Emperor would come to this garden almost every once in a while, and every time he did not even want Yongzheng to accompany him, he only wanted to play with his little grandson. There is a big feeling in this scene, Zhu Di holds the little Zhu Zhanji every day and rides a big horse, while Zhu Gaozi is trembling next to him.
Although the history books do not record that some people mentioned the phrase "good saint sun" and then let the Yongzheng Emperor ascend to the throne, historical works such as the General History of China believe that the Qianlong Emperor added the most crucial points to the Yongzheng Emperor.
So the question is, history records that the Qianlong Emperor was so brilliant when he was a child, is this really reliable? Could it be that a person like Kangxi, who has experienced wind and frost, will really be shocked by a small child?
Personally, I think that this paragraph may be true, but whether it is the credit of the Qianlong Emperor or not, it is really uncertain. If you carefully read the history books, you will find that the Yongzheng Emperor deliberately arranged the liquor bureau, and then took the initiative to invite the Kangxi Emperor to enter the bureau, and it was under his arrangement, the flowers were blooming, the lights were prepared, and the children's answers were like a stream, which was probably the result of countless times of carefully directing.
Because of this, the Kangxi Emperor would be so amazed at first sight of Qianlong and so on, it was like a person going to an interview, no matter how sloppy he was usually, but when he interviewed, he would always behave very neatly and mentally.
But then again, although the Kangxi Emperor was amazed by his own little grandson, or he also discovered the little wisdom of the Qianlong Emperor, and even like Sima Yan, the Emperor of Jinwu at that time, he felt that his little grandson had the power of his ancestors, but he had no choice, there is a proverb in history, called the hour, the big is inevitable.
Thinking back to Kong Beihai, a story that made Pear become a famous figure in China, but in the end he grew up to be just a king of mouth cannons who was not filial piety and only made trouble, and was eventually killed by Boss Cao.
Therefore, the Qianlong Emperor was also like this, when he was a child, he behaved extremely cleverly, so that the Kangxi Emperor could shine in front of his eyes, but in the end he was only the son of a middle man in the emperor, and there was little wisdom, and great wisdom was lacking.
Just as scholars have evaluated the Qianlong Emperor, their wisdom in dealing with their own people is ancient, but they are basically blind in dealing with national development and the future arrangement of destiny. I have to say that the scene of that year combined with the later development of Qianlong is really a little ironic, I don't know if the Kangxi Emperor will climb out of the ground angrily if he sees the future.
