China's feudal dynasty after 2000 years of operation, to the end of the 18th century has basically reached the end, after experiencing the Kangxi prosperous era of this kind of "return to the light and return to the light" of the boom, from the late Qianlong period began to gradually decline, to the Jiaqing period, the Qing Dynasty can be said to be the decline of the river, later generations generally Jiaqing and Daoguang, the qing dynasty's rapid deterioration of the season called "Jiadao decline".
Then there are many strange and strange events in the Qing Dynasty society during this period, and here are three.
First, the emperor was assassinated by the cook
On February 20, the eighth year of Jiaqing (April 11, 1803 in the Gregorian calendar), something happened in front of the Shenwu Gate of Beijing City that shook the whole country - the emperor was stabbed!
The assassination of the emperor is an earth-shattering event at any time, what is going on? The story of the incident is roughly like this: at that time, the Jiaqing Emperor was visiting the Dongling Palace, the honor guard led the emperor around the Shenwu Gate, and a middle-aged man rushed out with a knife and directly pounced on the Jiaqing Emperor...
What was even more bizarre was that the Jiaqing Emperor's bodyguards, the so-called Great Inner Masters, all froze and forgot to stop it, but fortunately the quality of the chancellor was a little higher, and the former minister of the imperial chancellor, Prince Ding,mian En (nephew of the Jiaqing Emperor), rushed up to stop the assassin, and Gulun Erzhu Rawan Dorji (the husband of the jiaqing Emperor's sister) then pounced on and hugged the assassin, and the guards returned to God and subdued the assassin.

Jiaqing was furious, after returning to the palace, he first disposed of a group of officials and guards, and then ordered a strict trial, the punishment department was under pressure, and did not dare to use torture (in case of death by torture, it was really unclear), and finally through the wheel war finally tried out: this case has no background, the main culprit is called Chen De, he was a cook before, but in recent years, the social depression, he has a very sad life, he wants to find death, but he does not want to die so silently, he wants to do the ticket, he thought he would be killed by the guards of course, did not expect the guards to be so rookie...
The officials and the emperor were stunned, and in the end, chen Deling was late.
Second, the military department actually lost the Great Seal
On March 8, 1820, Jiaqing received an emergency recital on the way to visit Tanglin, Jiaqing quickly checked it, and then his nose was crooked after reading it. This recital was made by The University Scholar Who Managed the Affairs of the Army, Together with the Bingbu Shangshu Pugong, Dai Liankui, and so on, the incident was: the Great Seal of the Bingbu Was Lost!
And Bright also said in the fold that the thief must have stolen it for money (the great seal is made of silver), what is this equivalent to? The equivalent of the Ministry of Defense's seal symbolizing power was stolen by a small hairy thief, how ridiculous you say. Jiaqing returned to the palace and scolded the minister bitterly, and ordered a strict investigation, but he could not solve the case.
In desperation, Jiaqing had to approve it, allowing the military department to recast an official seal. And the missing official seal has not been found since.
Third, keju yuan did not attend the ceremony
After Jiaqing finished the wujuke examination in the twenty-third year (1818), according to the custom, the emperor was going to give the wujinshi a great ceremony, so importantly, the diligent Jiaqing naturally did not dare to slacken off, and got up early to go to bed, but waited for a morning, only the eyes came, and the champions and tanhua did not come.
Manchu Wenwu's eyes widened and narrowed, and the faces of the officials of the Ceremonial Department were particularly unpleasant, but later they found out what was going on? The official of the ceremonial department suddenly thought of something, so he told the emperor that we had just informed everyone yesterday that we had entered the palace from the Xihua Gate, but later it had been changed to the Donghua Gate. Maybe the people below didn't notify them in place, and the gang ran to the Xihua Gate and didn't open the door, and now they are rushing to the Donghua Gate.
This can wait for half a day, Jiaqing's face is very ugly, flicking his sleeves away, indicating that Wu Zhuangyuan and Wu Tanghuage have gone to the rank, leaving a bunch of awkward officials pestles on the court.
