Speaking of the Jiaqing Emperor, he was the fifteenth prince of Qianlong, and he was born to Qianlong and Concubine Ling. The struggle between the princes of the past was very fierce, because as the emperor's son, each of them was eligible to inherit the throne, but Jiaqing was very lucky and finally became the emperor, with almost nothing to do. It can also be said that Jiaqing picked up a throne in bai, but it was not very smooth. As we all know, Qianlong's reign was relatively long, and in order not to exceed his grandfather Kangxi, he chose to let Jiaqing abdicate after 60 years of rule. However, anyone who knows the history of Qianlong probably knows. Qianlong was the longest-lived emperor of all time, reigning for sixty years.
In the end, he thought that he could not reign longer than his grandfather Kangxi, so he passed the throne to his son Yongyan. Although Qianlong became emperor, he still firmly grasped the government in his own hands, and he still had important things to do with his ideas. Poor Jiaqing was only nominally emperor, but in fact he still enjoyed the treatment of a prince. Although emperor Qianlong abdicated, he still lived in the imperial palace where the emperor was eligible to live, while the Jiaqing Emperor could only live in his own palace. Moreover, the jade seal was also in Qianlong's hands, so Jiaqing still had to find Qianlong to seal it if he wanted to promulgate the holy will, and even qianlong refused to cover the holy will a few times. Being an emperor in the early jiaqing period can be described as very depressed.
The most repressive thing is not these, but when Jiaqing was just the emperor at that time, the emperor wanted to sacrifice, the emperor wanted to worship his ancestors and his own heaven and earth, and the others did not have to bow down, but Qianlong asked him to bow to the graveyard of a nine-year-old child, that person was The child of Empress Fucha, Yonglian, who was also Jiaqing's brother according to the reason, but unfortunately he died when he was nine years old, and everyone also knew that Qianlong's favorite in this life was Empress Fucha, and Yonglian was also a concubine, so when Yongqi was not yet born, Qianlong had already made him a prince. Maybe he remembered the child, reminded him of Empress Fucha
When Jiaqing was made crown prince, Qianlong also took Jiaqing to Yonglian's tomb. But at that time, Qianlong had abdicated, Jiaqing had begun to manage government affairs, such a request will inevitably make Jiaqing's heart a little unhappy, and Qianlong saw that Jiaqing did not respond for a long time, and also knew that Jiaqing was reluctant in his heart, so he said 6 words "Brother kneeling brother, it is a family gift." When Jiaqing heard his father's words, he could only kneel down and salute.
