Since Jiaqing ascended the throne, the manchu situation has not been as good as before. Although Jiaqing attaches great importance to the people and is diligent in government affairs, it has not made much achievement. Jiaqing's only achievement was to overthrow the first corrupt official, He Yan. However, the problem of official corruption in the imperial court was not completely solved.
More importantly, the Jiaqing Emperor mainly advocated a policy of closing off the country and emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce. At that time, the West was in a period of transition, and China, which called itself the "Kingdom of Heaven and Heaven," was gradually lagging behind the world. However, this was not the behavior of the Jiaqing Emperor, but the behavior of his father Qianlong. But Qianlong was dead, and the pot could only be carried by the Jiaqing Emperor. In addition, the Jiaqing Emperor was assassinated three times.
At the time of the first assassination, the Qianlong Emperor was still the Emperor Tai. At that time, the imperial court successfully suppressed the White Lotus Cultists and held banquets in the palace to celebrate the victory. After the banquet, the Jiaqing Emperor and his bodyguards entered the Shenwu Gate. That's when an accident happened. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a large man, holding a knife in his hand, rushed towards the Jiaqing Emperor.
Later, the big man was subdued and asked him why he assassinated the emperor? It turned out that the big man was a cook in the House of Internal Affairs, but he was fired, and he wanted to die, so he came up with the idea of assassinating the emperor, which made everyone laugh.
The second person who assassinated Jiaqing was even more wonderful, he was a monk, but this monk really wanted to be an abbot. Therefore, the monk had the idea of threatening the Jiaqing Emperor to make him an abbot. As a result, as soon as he entered the palace, he was discovered by the guards, and the assassination ended with him not seeing Jiaqing at all.
The last assassination of the Jiaqing Emperor was a planned large-scale operation. At that time, the reactionary Tenrikyo sects launched an uprising in the north. Their leader, Lin Qing, led more than 200 people into the palace, trying to kill the Jiaqing Emperor. Lin Qingren, who was highly skilled in martial arts, rushed into the Heart Cultivation Hall and wanted to enter the Emperor's Palace. At this time, the army quickly resolved the crisis. As a result, all three assassinations failed.
The cause of the jiaqing emperor's death is one of the unsolved mysteries of the Qing Dynasty. The Jiaqing Emperor is said to have been struck by lightning in a summer resort, and there are also historical records that he died of a heart attack when he heard the thunder. After his death, his face was damaged, and then, in his place, a eunuch entered the coffin, while the remains of the real Jiaqing Emperor could only be placed in the mezzanine of the coffin.
I have to say that from birth to death, the title of "the most unfortunate emperor in history" is definitely Jiaqing.
