According to the Records of the Qing Dynasty, Qianlong was an emperor of the Wind Andy, with many harem concubines, and naturally his descendants were also many Princess Brothers, and Yongyan was not ranked first, but only his fifteenth son. According to the tradition of ancient Chinese feudal dynasties, Li Chu was the eldest son of Li Li, so why did Yong Yan finally become emperor?
This can only be blamed on the qianlong emperor who lived a long life, and Qianlong lived for more than eighty years. His desire for power in this life was also great, and he had been in control of the government for sixty years. When Qianlong was too tired to abdicate, he found that the prince he had pinned on had either died of illness or had died of death, and there were only four princes left.
Among these four people, Yong Yan and Yong Xuan had the advantage in identity, their mother was Emperor Lingyi's noble concubine, her status was noble, and her mother was very much liked by Qianlong. The mother concubines of the two brothers, Yongxuan and Yongxuan, Jin Jiashi, had a humble status and no advantage to speak of.
In addition, Yongxuan also suffered from foot diseases, and generally the emperor needed to be physically sound and could not lose the face of the royal family, so Qianlong directly excluded Yongxuan. His younger brother Yong Yao was more unusual, very fond of antique calligraphy and painting, more like a collector, not at all the style of a Manchu prince, has not been disliked by Qianlong, and naturally has no opportunity.
Originally, there were not many candidates, and two candidates were excluded, so Qianlong and the ministers could only choose one of the remaining two brothers to take the throne. As the older brother of Yong Yan, Yong Yan had an advantage according to the ancient Chinese tradition of the eldest son ascending the throne.
Yong Xuan is the youngest son of Qianlong, the old man has a son, more favored by his parents, the result is that blessings and misfortunes are interdependent, Yong Xuan's personality is very tricky, the evaluation in the government and the public is very bad, everyone thinks that such a character is not suitable for being an emperor.
Of course, the only remaining candidate, Yong Yan, was nothing special, whether it was in terms of literature or martial arts, he was average, and Qianlong was actually not very proud of him. Helplessly, there was really no good candidate, so Qianlong had no choice but to pick a general among the guns and make Yong Yan the crown prince.
In the end, Yongyan was equivalent to picking up a big bargain, killing many brothers and ascending to the throne. However, the national strength of the Qing Dynasty has been quite declining, and the political system and economy are very backward, and it is not uncommon to describe it as a crisis. Yong Yan also did not have any outstanding talents, and he did not have any political achievements during his reign, so the Qing Dynasty also turned from prosperity to decline from then on.
Although Yong Yan became the emperor with good luck and stood in the supreme position of power, it was a pity that his own strength was limited, and he did not make any achievements in the end. Therefore, Xiaobian believes that if you want to succeed, you not only need to seize the opportunity, but also constantly improve your own strength in order to use the opportunity to make achievements.
