Speaking of the Emperor Taishang, I think everyone knows better, he is the emperor's father, when the Qianlong Emperor admired his grandfather Kangxi, so in order to catch up with his grandfather's pace, he had many times gone down to Jiangnan to calm down a lot of wars. Then he managed his dynasty well, and he gave himself a title called the Ten Perfection Old Man, and felt that his life had reached its peak.
The Qianlong Emperor was born in 1736, he was the fourth emperor after the Qing army entered the customs, and his life was controversial and praised, so let's review it together. When he first ascended the throne, he put the Qing Dynasty into a very prosperous state, and in the second half of his life, he preferred to appoint and enjoy, so the country fell into crisis in the second half of his life.
No matter which emperor was most reluctant to do, it was probably to give up his position to his son, but Qianlong was already very old at that time, so he felt that he had to find a successor. Which child Qianlong liked, that child died quickly, so he was a little flustered, until the age of 60, he had not yet confirmed who could inherit Qianlong's position.
Qianlong estimated that he would not expect to live to be more than 80 years old until he died, and after careful selection, he finally passed the position to the Jiaqing Emperor. I think the Jiaqing Emperor may be Qianlong's helpless choice, because there is no one else to choose, then choose Jiaqing. Of the few remaining sons, he was outstanding, and at the age of 85, he gave up his position to his son as he had previously thought.
Originally, I thought that Jiaqing would be able to take charge of the court and continue to prosper the Qing Dynasty, but I did not expect that although I gave up my position to my son, the power was still in his own hands. I think the smartest person in the world is the emperor, leaving himself a back hand, I guess I am afraid that my later life is as miserable as Li Yuan's.
For example, Li Yuan, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, was shot and killed after the Xuanwumen Mutiny, and Li Shimin ascended the throne, and he himself sat in the position of Emperor Taishang. Later, from the person with the highest power, he suddenly became the useless Taishang Emperor, and Li Shimin didn't care how he lived at that time, anyway, he had already ascended to the throne, as for the Taishang Emperor, he could not want it.
Before the fourth day of the first lunar month in 1796, the Qianlong Emperor held a special banquet, and the Jiaqing Emperor personally led 3,056 ministers to wish him a happy birthday. During these three years, the Jiaqing Emperor lived like a puppet, minimizing his sense of existence, and the Qianlong Emperor was almost speechless by the time he was old. Later, He Yan acted as his best spokesman, born in 1750, he was a famous traitor in history, in fact, if he abandoned the name of a corrupt official in this life, he should also be regarded as a relatively famous businessman and minister.
This person was particularly perceptive and shrewd and capable, otherwise Qianlong would not have liked him so much, and later the Qianlong Emperor actually married his daughter to his son, so Hezhen became a relative of the emperor at that time. He did not put the Jiaqing Emperor in his eyes at all, so the seeds of hatred had already sprouted in Jiaqing, and when the Qianlong Emperor went, he was immediately executed. Once he left the emperor, he was nothing and eventually died in the prison.
