The Qianlong Emperor reigned for 60 years, if you add the time when he was emperor for three years, it is equivalent to 63 years in charge of the Qing Dynasty, and he gave birth to 17 sons and 10 daughters in his lifetime, which can also be regarded as many children, but among these sons of Qianlong, the most famous should be Jiaqing and The Fifth Brother Yongqi who succeeded to the throne, under the cover of their reputation, many princes have become eclipsed.
In fact, in addition to these two sons, Qianlong also had several excellent sons, such as Qianlong's eldest son Yong Huang was one of them, Qianlong had high hopes for him at the beginning, and he was very pampered, but what was the end?
The birth mother is humble
In the third year of Yongzheng, a woman named Kahari Fucha clan stood out in the draft of the Ministry of Internal Affairs because of her good looks, and was finally selected to stay in the palace, but unfortunately, the palace women of the Qing Dynasty at that time were greatly influenced by their origins, and the Kahari Fucha clan was only a person under the manchurian yellow flag and wrapped in the collar, and was not eligible to become a concubine at all, only to become a concubine in the palace of Hongli (later the Qianlong Emperor).
Because of the outstanding appearance of the KahariFucha clan, he was favored by Hongli, and later gave birth to a son Yong Huang in the sixth year of Yongzheng, this son is the firstborn son worthy of the name of Hongli, when he was born, Hongli was still more favored by him, after all, it was the first son, even if his birth mother was humble, it did not affect Hongli's love for him.
If according to the normal law, after the Kahari Fucha clan gave birth to the eldest son, it should have been the mother who was promoted by virtue of her son Gui, but because Hongli had already married his favorite concubine Fufu Jin Shaji Fucha, the two were in love, like glue, so the unpopular and humble Kahari Fucha clan still had no promotion, which had a great impact on what happened later.
It can be said that before the Shaji Fucha clan did not give birth to a son, Hongli was more fond of Yong huang, but in the eighth year of Yongzheng, when Yong huang was only two years old, the Shaji Fucha clan gave birth to the eldest son Yonglian for Hongli, and from then on, all the love of Hongli was poured into Yonglian.
Yong Juan, who lost his father's love, fortunately there is also maternal love, under the care of his mother, Yong Huang is slowly growing, in his heart, his own eldest son of the emperor, or the future can be expected, his mother's requirements for him are very strict, prompting him to grow up according to the qualities and character that a boss should have.
In the ninth year of Yongzheng, the Kahari Fucha clan gave birth to a daughter for Hongli, but unfortunately, the arrival of the daughter still did not attract enough attention from Hongli, and the status of the Kahari Fucha clan never improved. Originally, he had just given birth to a child, his heart was relatively fragile, and Hongli did not care enough about himself, so that The Kahari Fucha clan gradually became a little distracted, became depressed and depressed, and died four years later (Yongzheng thirteen years).
Less than a month after the death of the Kahari Fucha clan, Yongzheng also died, and Hongli smoothly ascended the throne according to the will of Yongzheng secretly establishing the crown prince, that is, we are known as the Qianlong Emperor, after ascending the throne, Qianlong immediately made his favorite Shaji Fucha clan empress, and Yonglian, who was only 5 years old, was written by Qianlong in the secret edict of the succession, and put it in the Zhengda Guangming Plaque, in case Qianlong had a three long and two short, it would be inherited by Yonglian.
The two blows made Yong Juan vulnerable
If it had developed according to normal circumstances, Yong Huang might not have had the opportunity to get Qianlong's favor again in this life, but unexpectedly, Qianlong's favorite son, Yong Lian, died of wind and cold in the second year of Qianlong, which broke all of Qianlong's previous plans.
After Yong Juan's death, Qianlong was overly sad, and directly took out the secret edict hidden behind the Zhengda Guangming Plaque, and made it public, telling everyone that the person he had secretly established as a reserve was Yong Lian, which was a great blow to Yong Juan, because he always felt that his eldest son, the eldest son of the emperor, was the most promising heir, after all, from childhood to adulthood, everything he did was done according to the standards of the boss.
Perhaps Qianlong also saw Yong Huang's loss, so in the case of Yong Juan's death and Empress Fucha's seven years of pregnancy, Qianlong began to love Yong Huang more, he first had more contact with Yong Huang, cared more about it, so that Yong Huang felt that he had hope of being secretly stored, and later in order to improve Yong Juan's identity, he posthumously named his mother who had died for many years as a noble concubine of the Zhe Mercy Emperor.
Things developed to this step, for Yong Huang, it is simply extremely lucky, unfortunately fate always likes to joke with Yong Huang, just when he thought he was victorious, Empress Fucha gave birth to the seventh son of the emperor Yong Chun for Qianlong, this child was born on the birthday of the Buddha, and at the same time qianlong's concubine, so Qianlong concentrated all his favor on him alone, Yong Huang was not long after birth, Qianlong happily wrote his name on the secret edict of the throne, but unfortunately this time Qianlong was disappointed more quickly, Yong Chun died of pox around one year old. Left Qianlong and Empress Fucha with endless sorrow.
In addition to his grief, Qianlong once again took out the secret edict of the succession and made it public, telling everyone the fact that he had established Yong Huang as the heir, yong huang, who had just been favored by Qianlong, had been hit twice in succession, and after his hopes were disappointed again and again, it was inevitable that he would be sad, and he understood that as long as Empress Fucha continued to give birth to a son for Qianlong, he would inevitably be Qianlong's heir, and his hopes were getting more and more dim.
He was not sad enough and was scolded by Qianlong
Also deeply devastated by Yong Huang was Empress Fucha, who gave birth to two princes in a row, and as a result, the fate of both princes was premature, which made Empress Fucha extremely sad, and from then on, she was depressed and depressed, and it did not take long for her to fall ill and die, at the age of 35.
The heavy blow of the loss of his beloved son and his beloved wife changed Qianlong's entire personality, and Qianlong, who had always been magnanimous and generous, began to become a small belly and chicken intestines, and at the funeral of Empress Fucha, as long as the ministers who did not show enough sadness, they would be punished by Qianlong, some lost their official positions, and some even lost their lives.
On the other hand, the emperor's eldest son Yong Huang, before he was worried that Empress Fucha continued to give birth to a son to rob his own position, and now that Empress Fucha has actually died, then he obviously hopes to inherit the unification in the future, thinking of this, Yong Huang can't help but be a little happy, plus Empress Fucha was not her own mother, and at that time, Yong Cha was not deeply involved in the world, and did not understand the dangers in the palace, so at the funeral of Empress Fu Cha, Yong Huang did not behave so sadly.
Qianlong saw that Yong Huang was actually not as sad and weeping as himself, and he unconsciously thought that Yong Huang must have bad intentions, and at the funeral, he began to curse Yong Huang, and even added his fists and feet, and after everything was over, he also announced in front of everyone that Yong Huang's qualification for the establishment of Yong Huang was forever revoked, and this decision finally broke Yong Huang's last thoughts about the throne.
In the royal family, and has always restrained himself according to the requirements of the heir to the throne, after being completely rejected by his father, that kind of loss is unimaginable to us, it can be said that all the meaning of his life disappeared at that moment, and soon after this incident, Yong Juan became depressed and unwilling to see people, and a year later, Yong Juan died of illness.
Many years after Yong Huang's death, Qianlong thought about the past, always felt sorry for Yong Huang, began to blame himself for the original things, and often wrote poems to mourn the emperor's eldest son Yong Huang, who died at the age of 22, but what is the meaning of all this for Yong Huang?
epilogue
Qianlong had 17 sons, but in the end when he wanted to pass on the throne, he found that there were few people who were still alive, and considering the status of his birth mother, Qianlong finally established Emperor Jiaqing as the heir, but unfortunately, Qianlong's ability was average, and he could not clean up the mess left by Qianlong, and the Qing Dynasty began to gradually decline!
