Whenever the imperial palace is mentioned, people immediately think of words such as "ruthless is the most imperial family". Since ancient times, because of the existence of the throne, power has filled the royal family with intrigue. There are many brothers and sisters, but there can only be one emperor, which makes tragedies such as the change of XuanwuMen and the seizure of the nine sons and wives staged one after another.
This situation also makes one wonder how good it would be to be able to establish an heir without any twists and turns. However, there is indeed such a lucky emperor in history, who has not experienced the process of competing for the throne at all. By virtue of his father's role, all the brothers were solved, and Bai picked up a chance to sit on the dragon chair.
In 1760, Ai Xin Jue Luo Was born in the Yuanmingyuan garden in Beijing. As the fourteenth son of the Qianlong Emperor, according to the history of the past conquest, his journey to the throne has basically failed. In fact, it is precisely like this that this prince has been immersed in various studies since he was a child, and there are no superfluous ideas at all.
Because of her humble origins, although the family made meritorious contributions and she gave birth to a dragon son to obtain grace, she finally only sat in the position of a noble concubine. The lack of power and background doomed her to a difficult position in the harem, which directly made the mother and son the most difficult existence in the palace, and once involved in the imperial throne dispute, they could not afford the consequences. Therefore, this poor prince can only enrich himself with continuous learning and avoid being affected.
But just as the so-called world is unpredictable, when he does not want to do one thing, he will develop in this direction. First of all, the Qianlong Emperor really admired this studious son, but Li Chu had always been a headache for him. In 1736, he made his sister-in-law Yonglian the reserve, but the disease took away this young life early.
Later, Yong Chun, who was established by Qianlong, died prematurely at the age of 2, and the emperor's eldest son also died for some reason. In 1765, he was awarded the outstanding Fifth Brother Yongqi, but just a few days after the arrival of the prince's throne, this talented son also died of illness. Suddenly, this matter of Li Chu was like a magic spell, taking away all the princes little by little. In this regard, the emperor who had experienced great winds and waves also had to be afraid and never mentioned this matter again.
It just so happened that the Qianlong Emperor was the longest-lived emperor in the history of the Qing Dynasty, and he had been sitting on the throne standing still, but the princes had left one by one due to illness. The fourth and sixth princes passed, the eighth brother was "addicted to wine", and the eleventh brother focused on calligraphy, so that in the long wait, the heir who could withstand the great responsibility had already been "boiled" to death by this father. This may be the first time that people are troubled by their long life span, but at the same time, it also makes the always low-key Jaw Yan become prominent.
According to the "Draft History of the Qing Dynasty", at that time, Emperor Yan was already very talented with "English words and brilliant words", which also forced the Qianlong Emperor to re-examine this only son who could take on a big responsibility. Finally, in 1789, he was crowned Prince jia and became the real crown prince in 1795. The following year, the 85-year-old Qianlong took the Throne, and the prince naturally sat on the dragon chair and became the Jiaqing Emperor.
For the process of Jiaqing's ascension to the throne, it can be described as a fantasy. His origin was the lowest among the princes, but he inexplicably stood out from the competition. And the reason for all this is because his father personally helped him "solve" the problems of all his brothers with his longevity. After the Zen throne, Qianlong also served as Emperor Taishang for 3 years, and it was not until 1799 that Jiaqing began to personally take charge of the imperial government. This ending is really ironic and incredible.
