Jiaqing was the fifteenth son of the Qianlong Emperor, he was born in 1760, was secretly appointed crown prince in the thirty-eighth year of Qianlong, in 1796 AD, the Qianlong Emperor Zen, Jiaqing Emperor ascended the throne, the seventh emperor of the Qing Dynasty succeeded to the throne. However, he did not have the expected power, and in the 3-4 years after he succeeded to the throne, the Qianlong Emperor still refused to really give up power, and still controlled him, and did not get the supreme imperial power at all.
In the 3-4 years after Qianlong's reign, he still refused to hand over the great seal of the state to the Jiaqing Emperor, and later he could not resist the advice of the ministers, and finally passed the great seal to the Jiaqing Emperor, but he still refused to really delegate his power, and asked the Jiaqing Emperor to stamp his personal seal after every decision-making holy will, in addition to the national seal. In those years, the Jiaqing Emperor had lived a considerable nest, and the Qianlong Emperor had done everything he could to embarrass him, and even a courtier like Hezhen basically did not take him seriously, and in front of him, yin and yang violated, making him really depressed. It was not until 1799, when the Qianlong Emperor died, that Jiaqing finally regained real power and controlled the entire court, and before Qianlong's mourning period was over, he could not wait to plan to eradicate Hezhen.
The Jiaqing Emperor was originally going to put the Nine Clans of Hezhen, but considering that Hezhen's son Fengshen Yinde was married to a princess, then the Nine Clans included themselves, so the other design forced Hezhen to hang himself at home. After He Yan left, Jiaqing felt that the Qing Dynasty had actually reached a precarious point. So he learned from his grandfather, the Yongzheng Emperor, and prepared to create a Jiaqing prosperous world.
However, heaven did not go according to his wishes, no matter how hard he tried, he still could not save the fate of the Qing Dynasty going downhill, at this time the Qing Dynasty had already fallen day by day, no matter how much the Jiaqing Emperor tried to turn the tide, it did not play much substantive role. Eventually, the Jiaqing Emperor died suddenly at the age of 61 at the Chengde Summer Resort. The Jiaqing Emperor died too suddenly, and everyone was not prepared.
The Jiaqing Emperor died at the age of sixty-one, for his real cause of death, history has always held many theories, it is said that when the Jiaqing Emperor organized to go to the Chengde Summer Resort to hunt, although he was sick at that time, but there was no major obstacle, he could also handle official affairs smoothly, he went to the Summer Resort just to recuperate. It is said that one day, the sky lightning thundered, and the lightning flashed to the palace of the mountain villa, causing the rest and the Jiaqing Emperor in the palace to "electrocute and die".
Some people also say that the Jiaqing Emperor was hunting, the weather suddenly changed suddenly, the sky split a huge thunder, because the forest was densely wooded, so it caused the Jiaqing Emperor to be killed by lightning. For the emperor, this kind of thing must not be passed on, so in the main history, the death of the Jiaqing Emperor is only an understatement, and it is not recorded in detail, even the taiyi said that he was embarrassed to record it, in fact, this is also understandable.
