In the eyes of many people, the princes between the royal families have a situation of brothers killing each other in order to compete for the throne. Therefore, those who became emperors were very taboo against the emperor forming parties for personal gain and forming gangs and factions. But from ancient times to modern times, there are indeed princes who frame each other in order to compete for the throne, they are friendly on the surface, and behind the scenes, you are dead or alive. For example, Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty initiated the Xuanwumen Rebellion, and the Nine Sons of the Kangxi Dynasty seized concubines and so on.
However, in history, there is indeed an emperor who is more special, he is particularly lucky, not only succeeded to the throne, but also did not have a situation of fratricide, he is the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, the Jiaqing Emperor, Jiaqing is qianlong's 15th son, named Yongyan. Historically, his throne is estimated to be the easiest to obtain in all the history of the Qing Dynasty, mainly due to the blessing of his Emperor Ama.
The Qianlong Emperor was a very long-lived emperor, aged 88, and reigned for a very long time. Before Qianlong, the Kangxi Emperor had been on the throne for 61 years, so when Qianlong inherited the throne, in order to show his respect for Kangxi, he said that his reign time would not exceed kangxi's reign, and finally he succeeded in doing so. When he inherited the throne, he was 25 years old, then after he reigned for 60 years, he gave up the throne, when Qianlong was 85 years old, there were not many sons who could inherit his throne, although kangxi's sons were prosperous, but Kangxi's health was too good, and many sons' physique was not as good as his. Qianlong had 17 sons, and by the time he was 85 years old, only four were left alive. Of the other 13 princes who died, except for some who died shortly after birth, most of the others died of illness. For example, in the fifth brother Yongqi died of illness. Due to Qianlong's long life, some of his sons died one after another. Ancient people lived to the age of 60, even if they lived long, Kangxi only lived 69 years old, then Qianlong is the longest living among the emperors of the Qing Dynasty.
Among the remaining 4 sons at that time: Brother Eight Yongxuan was addicted to wine and unwilling to deal with the politics of the dynasty, plus he lost his mother when he was a child, and he rarely received Qianlong's attention at all, so he was rejected, but he lived a carefree life, and he was also the longest living among the qing princes, he died at the age of 87; Eleven brothers like literature and were not good at riding and shooting, which made Qianlong very unhappy to see him, after all, for the emperor, the Qing Dynasty's Jiangshan were snatched by force. Then the remaining two princes were the fifteenth brother and the seventeenth brother Yongxuan, both of whom had the same mother, but the fifteenth brother was better than his brother, so he became the candidate for the emperor of Qianlong. In such a situation, Jiaqing sat on the throne steadily. In the first three years of his reign as emperor, Qianlong still managed the imperial government and held real power. Until Qianlong's death, he became a nominal emperor. Although the Jiaqing Emperor was fortunate but due to his average ability, during his reign, the Qing Dynasty began to decline from prosperity to decline.
