The Jiaqing Emperor lived a very depressed life, missed the best prosperity of the Qing Dynasty, but took over a mess full of holes and internal and external troubles, Born in 1760, He yan was the fifteenth son of the Qianlong Emperor, when Qianlong was thirty-eight years old, he was secretly established as a reserve, in 1796 AD, Qianlong Zen throne, Jiaqing Emperor ascended the throne, but in the next three or four years, the Jiaqing Emperor was still under the control of Qianlong, although Qianlong was on the throne, but the desire for power was not reduced in the slightest.
The mystery of the sudden death of the Jiaqing Emperor has finally been revealed! Expert: The history books do not dare to record, it is too tragic!
At the time of the Granting of the Seal of Zen, he was hesitant to hand over the Great Seal to the Jiaqing Emperor, fortunately, thanks to the euphemism of the ministers on the left and right, the Qianlong Emperor reluctantly handed over the authority to Jiaqing, but required jiaqing to stamp his own big seal every edict issued, otherwise it was invalid, and the poor Jiaqing Emperor spent three or four years in this oppressive environment, although he was called the emperor, but it was in name only, even the powerful ministers and Emperor Yan dared to pinch themselves, and in 1799 AD, the Qianlong Emperor died, and the Jiaqing Emperor officially took power, during the funeral of Qianlong The Jiaqing Emperor couldn't wait to get rid of Hezhen.
After He yan was forced to commit suicide, the Jiaqing Emperor deeply felt that the Qing Dynasty had fallen into a precarious situation, there were White Lotus Sect rebellions outside, there were officials corrupt inside, and there was no war readiness, so the Jiaqing Emperor began to carry out the Xian and Restoration, hoping to recreate a Jiaqing prosperous era like his grandfather Yongzheng Emperor, but fate made a big joke to the Jiaqing Emperor, at this time the Qing Dynasty was already in decline, although the Jiaqing Emperor wanted to turn the tide, rectify the internal affairs, and rectify the Gangji. But it is still impossible to save the fate of the Qing Dynasty's decline, and several major events in the Jiaqing Dynasty may have foreshadowed the fate of the Qing Dynasty.
In 1813, the eighteenth year of Jiaqing, the Tianli Sect launched an uprising and even attacked the Forbidden City with the help of eunuchs in the palace, "causing something that had not happened between the Han and Tang Dynasties and the Song Ming Dynasty." The Jiaqing Emperor could only issue a decree afterwards, although this uprising was suppressed, but it made the Manchu Dynasty Minister of Culture and Military Discouraged, Jiaqing three years, the harem cook Chen De because of the trivial matters in the palace, even with a steel knife and a big stick attacked the Jiaqing Emperor, the Jiaqing Emperor was surrounded by several guards, and none of them saved the car, the Jiaqing Emperor was really frightened, and the defense of the Forbidden City at this time was full of loopholes, once again making the Jiaqing Emperor faceless.
The Jiaqing Emperor died at the age of sixty-one, and there are many theories about the cause of jiaqing emperor's death, some people say that the death of the Jiaqing emperor was a normal illness death, and some people say that the Jiaqing emperor died because he was struck by lightning, and this statement has been recognized by many historians. According to this statement, the Jiaqing Emperor was already sick when he was hunting in the Chengde Summer Resort, but there was no major problem, the Jiaqing Emperor went to the summer resort to adjust his body, according to folk historical records, the Jiaqing Emperor was still able to handle government affairs the day before his death, but one day the sky over the Hot River suddenly changed, thunder and lightning flashed, and suddenly the palace was struck by lightning, resulting in the Jiaqing Emperor "electrocuted" to death.
Of course, some people say that the Jiaqing Emperor was hunting in the periphery, due to sudden changes in the weather and dense forests, so he caused a lightning strike, resulting in his own death by lightning, although there are many rumors, but most people believe that the Jiaqing Emperor did not die normally as the history says, but was inadvertently struck by lightning! This kind of thing can be regarded as a scandal in the court, and once the legendary consequences will be unimaginable, so in the main history, the historians of the Qing Dynasty only brushed aside the death of the Jiaqing Emperor, and it was inevitable that they would not dare to write the real cause of death!
