The Qianlong Emperor of the Qing Dynasty prides himself on being a perfect old man, he reigned for sixty years, is the longest-lived emperor of the Qing Dynasty and even the entire feudal dynasty, lived to the age of eighty-nine, and during his reign there were no natural disasters and man-made disasters, the national treasury was sufficient, so he was considered the most blessed emperor in history, he enjoyed all the glory and wealth in his life, and all this was inseparable from his father Yongzheng, but the evaluation of Yongzheng and Qianlong in history was diametrically opposite.
The highly sought after Kangqian prosperous era in the history of the Qing Dynasty only isolated Yongzheng from the past, and both the history books and later generations believe that Yongzheng was mean and unkind, and was a very fierce emperor, and there are many wild histories that record that Yongzheng's imperial name is not justified, in addition to a person he got rid of before his death, he also let himself bear the name of the ancient infamy, in fact, he did this so that Qianlong could sit firmly in the jiangshan.
Everyone knows that Yongzheng's succession to the throne has experienced a fierce struggle between the nine sons and concubines, so he does not want the tragedy to repeat itself, and before his death, he cleared the obstacle for Qianlong to ascend the throne, and this obstacle was Yongzheng's own son San'a Ge hongshi, because Hongshi of course already had the intention of vying for power and rebellion, and also did a lot of rebellious things, so Yongzheng was afraid that he would threaten Qianlong in the future, so he stripped Hongshi of his title, stripped him of his royal status, and made it impossible for him to inherit the throne.
During his reign, Yongzheng worked hard and diligently, and his life was very simple, so he left a sufficient treasury for Qianlong, and the threats in the court were also eliminated by him in advance, so Qianlong could squander and enjoy himself after succeeding to the throne, and he went to Jiangnan many times to play, and his life was extremely luxurious, but Yongzheng was even more negative because he got rid of his own son, so that future generations thought that he was sitting on a harsh and ruthless crime.
