In fact, many times life is fate, and due to the relatively fair and reasonable environment in today's society, we can fight for many possibilities for ourselves. But in that feudal society, which strictly divides people into three, six, and nine grades, it is birth that determines everything, and ability is not worth mentioning compared with birth. Due to the poison of feudal ritual thinking on women, it is difficult for women to ascend to heaven if they want to develop.
Although the Manchu Qing court, as the last dynasty in the period of feudal history, was at the mouth of change of the times, after the efforts of several generations of emperors, there was still a Kangqian prosperous era, which pushed the economy of the entire dynasty forward a big step.
As the last successor of the Prosperous Era of Kangqian, in addition to his own ability, the Qianlong Emperor largely inherited the glory of his ancestors, and it was precisely because of the efforts of the kangxi and Yongzheng emperors that by the time the Qianlong Emperor succeeded to the throne, the Qing Dynasty he saw was already infinitely beautiful.
Growing up under the influence of two generations of emperors, and at the same time seeing the steady progress of the Qing Dynasty, the Qianlong Emperor's personality was very happy, and even some indulged in enjoyment, although these did not have much impact on the dynasty's economy, but due to the Qianlong Emperor's closed policy, the Manchu Qing court lost the possibility of economic take-off, and stepped off the stage of history step by step.
The qianlong emperor's chosen heir was Yongyan, and because the Kangxi Emperor had established the crown prince early, it led to the dispute between the nine sons and concubines. During the Yongzheng period, the Yongzheng Emperor summed up the lessons learned by the Kangxi Emperor, so he implemented the secret reserve system, and the Qianlong Emperor thoroughly implemented this policy, although the Qianlong Emperor reigned for a long time, and the number of harems was considerable, but there were not many who could be selected to become candidate heirs.
The Qianlong Emperor's favorite was the Tenth Princess, and her mother was Concubine Huan, and the Qianlong Emperor once fantasized that if this princess was a male body, then it would be entrusted to reuse. Originally, the Qianlong Emperor was most satisfied with the fifth brother, but although he was excellent in ability and deeply appreciated by the Qianlong Emperor, his physical condition was not ideal, and he had died at a young age.
When the Qianlong Emperor reached the age of ancient rarity, the candidate for the heir had not yet been determined, at this time the Qianlong Emperor was a little anxious, so far, the only thing that could be relied on was Yong Yan, although Yong Yan did not have outstanding ability, but he was also a mature and stable prince, which may be the only comfort that made the Qianlong Emperor happy.
At the same time, Yongyan's birth mother was Ling Guifei, who was the qianlong emperor's favorite concubine at a certain time, perhaps because of the love of Wu and Wu, the Qianlong Emperor passed the baton of the throne to Yongyan.
Under the arrangement of the Qianlong Emperor, he arranged a family affair for Yongyan to marry the Xitala clan of Theofu Jin, the Xitala clan was not a Manchurian nobleman, nor was it from manchuria, and the Hitara clan was born as a slave in disguise, perhaps this practice of the Qianlong Emperor was to cover up his intention to make Yongyan the prince from the ministers. The lowly Hitara clan was the heir to the throne, and he gave birth to a prince soon after marriage.
The common child of the Hitara clan and Yongyan was Mianning, who was the later Daoguang Emperor. Yong yan's waiting for the throne was very long, because the Qianlong Emperor reigned for a long time, and he was also a long-lived emperor, but only because he could not surpass the length of the Kangxi Emperor's reign, so the Qianlong Emperor retreated behind the scenes.
But he did not give up power, and all the major affairs of the family and the country were still in his hands. At that time, the Jiaqing Emperor was only a nominal emperor, and he would even be called by the Qianlong Emperor to reprimand him because he had done something wrong. Although the Hitara clan came from a humble background, she was very lucky in life.
She married the heir to the throne, Consort Fujin, so after the Jiaqing Emperor succeeded to the throne, she deservedly became empress, and her son also got the baton and became the next emperor. But Hitara was a very sad woman, and after only a year in the throne, she died.
Summary: Since the Qianlong Emperor handed over the inheritance of the throne to the Jiaqing Emperor, the entire Qing Dynasty has gradually gone downhill, although after the death of the Qianlong Emperor, the Jiaqing Emperor executed He yan and obtained a lot of wealth, but it did not stop the pace of the wheel of history.
When the Daoguang Emperor succeeded to the throne, due to his limited talent, although he also wanted to change the future of the dynasty, but some things were already reversible by manpower, so since then, the Qing Dynasty has gradually withdrawn from the stage of history, and China has ushered in a new era.
The Manchu Qing court was the last feudal dynasty, and at the same time, because of the inaction of those in power, it caused the humiliating modern history of China, if the Qianlong Emperor did not adhere to the policy of closing the country to the outside world, if the Qianlong Emperor could change the heir, or the Jiaqing Emperor could change the heir, whether history would have a new look, all these questions, we can only put it in our hearts.
