It is written in the "Chip pen station": "The heavens and the earth are all working together, and the heroes are not free." "Fortune has always been a mysterious and mysterious existence, but many times it has made people willingly believe. As the so-called "time comes and goes", many things that once bothered us when we are lucky will be solved. You can get a turnaround even in the face of wind and waves, such as in the intricate palace.
It is often said that "ruthlessness is the most imperial family", and this sentence stems from the attraction of the "throne". For this power, not only brothers will fight desperately, but even fathers and sons can turn against each other, not to mention those outsiders who are eyeing the tiger. The existence of the struggle for power is the saddest place in the palace, but in history, there is an emperor with the best luck, who did not participate in any competition and directly took the throne in vain, and this is all thanks to his father.
As a prince, the most important thing to worry about in the process of taking the wife is the action between the brothers. At the same time, a force that supports itself is also very important, which is the foundation of the future court. But in addition to this, there is a very rare hidden danger, that is, what if the emperor is too long-lived?
In the history of the Qing Dynasty, the Qianlong Emperor was definitely the longest-lived emperor. Born in 1711, he actually held power for more than 63 years before finally dying in 1799 at the age of 89, a rarity among the royal family. And this situation also brought him a problem, that is, the sons did not live their own long.
In 1736, the Qianlong Emperor, who had just ascended the throne, made his eldest son Yonglian crown prince, but unfortunately, the prince died of illness only 2 years later. Soon he set up a newborn seventh brother, but this child also died early when he was 2 years old. In 1748, Empress Fucha died of illness, which directly plunged him into grief, and the emperor's eldest son was killed in anger, and the matter of Li Chu was like a magic spell for him.
From then on, the Qianlong Emperor chose to concentrate on political affairs and never again think about this so-called successor. In the past feudal history, when the emperor was old and sick, he had to make a crown prince. However, Hongli was very strong and did not have any serious illness until 1773. But at the age of 63, he also had to make his own choice, which was to prepare an insurance for the Qing Dynasty.
But the strange thing is that although the Qianlong Emperor was a healthy and long-lived emperor, most of his sons were extremely short-lived. All the candidates he had set up had collapsed, and the fifth brother Yongqi, who was most admired, died violently in 1766, just after being awarded the reward. In this year, he could only choose 6 living princes, of which 2 were inherited. Eight brothers covet pleasure, eleven brothers are addicted to calligraphy, seventeen brothers are even more difficult to become a great instrument, then fifteen brothers are the only choice.
Born in 1760, he was born too late in his life to compete for the throne in his family at the very beginning. Under the arrangement of his mother, Empress Xiaoyichun, he studied under fengkuan, Xie Yong and other famous courtiers from an early age, and it was recorded in the Qing History Manuscript that he was quite literary and talented. Originally, according to this trend, he was a simple erudite brother in his life, but it may be luck that the throne fell from the sky.
Qianlong, who had no choice but to begin to investigate The Emperor, turned out to be more and more pleasing to the eye. So no longer hesitating, he directly made him crown prince, and in 1796 he ascended the throne as the Jiaqing Emperor. And Jiaqing also became an emperor with the best luck in ancient times, because he did not participate in any power struggle in his life, there was no need to rob anything, under the "help" of his father's longevity, all his brothers were solved, and this throne can really be said to be picked up in vain.
