In a feudal dynasty, being born into the royal family means that you have a chance to dominate the world
In this way, everyone will not refuse the supreme right, so there will be a scene of taking the name of the wife. Especially during the reign of Kangxi, because Kangxi's sons were excellent, everyone had the opportunity to ascend to the throne, and there was also a grand situation of nine sons taking wives.
During the Yongzheng period, because there were not many heirs, so the four brothers also became the emperor without any danger, and this time was more than sixty years, Qianlong lived for a long time, many of his sons died early, in the later period of his reign, he took the initiative to give up the throne to his son.
In particular, this son was not willing to fight with his brother, and it was Qianlong himself who helped him solve it.
First, thrilling and thrilling
During the Qing Dynasty, the three most prosperous dynasties should be the three dynasties of Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong, the Kangxi Dynasty was very diligent, laying a rich material foundation for future generations, and the inheritance left by his father and emperor after him was carried forward, and later Qianlong became the emperor for more than sixty years.
The inheritance of the ancestors was preserved, but Jiaqing after Qianlong gradually declined.
Kangxi had a total of twenty-three sons, many of whom were excellent, so they all had a desire for the throne.
During the Kangxi Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty still had the rule of making a prince, but once he was made a prince, he was the target of everyone's attack.
The slightest carelessness can lead to danger. In the late Kangxi Dynasty, the Four Brothers and the Eight Brothers were both favorable contenders for the throne.
Once one of these two people wins, the remaining one will not survive. In the end, we all know that the four brothers have become the final winners,
The Eight Brothers were also imprisoned forever by the emperor in the Zongren Mansion and expelled from the imperial family
。 Therefore, after Yongzheng succeeded to the throne, he decided not to make a prince and did not want his children to start competing for the throne too early.
However, as long as he was born in the royal family, it was impossible not to have the heart to take the concubine, so Yongzheng's sons still began the road of seizing the concubine very early. Fortunately, Yongzheng's heirs are not many, and in the end, there are only four princes who have the qualifications to take the concubine.
In addition, the little prince is too small to be competitive, so the object of choice is among the three brothers, four brothers and five brothers.
Although you are the eldest son and have the support of the empress, you still enter the trap of others, which makes Yongzheng very unhappy, and later the third brother was cancelled from the imperial family and imprisoned for life. In addition, Hongzhi did not have the heart to take the wife, and wanted to protect the life of his family,
So from then on, the four brothers were unique, and no one could compete with Hongli.
Second, the most fortunate Jiaqing
After Qianlong succeeded to the throne, he married many concubines, and these concubines were promoted very quickly, and those who could have children were even more prosperous.
Qianlong had many heirs, but his two sons of his favorite Empress Fucha died early and did not have the opportunity to ascend to the throne, but Qianlong was still very fond of these two concubines, and even if he died early, he gave them the title of crown prince.
As the saying goes, the mother is precious by her son, and after giving birth to the prince, the mother generally does not have to worry too much, even if the emperor dies, she can also move to the prince's mansion with her son.
Not only is the mother expensive by the son, but also the son is precious by the mother, and if it is a concubine that the emperor particularly likes, the chance of naturally ascending the throne is greater. During the Qianlong period, there were two empresses and many imperial concubines.
But to say that Qianlong's favorite is the dead Empress Fucha, and later Ling Guifei. At first, Concubine Ling was only a very lowly palace maid,
Later, with his own efforts and the emperor's love, he ascended to the throne of the noble concubine, and his son also ascended the throne.
This all comes from the emperor's liking and pampering.
However, the choice of the crown prince cannot rely on the emperor's preference and favor, but also take into account the opinions of the ministers, so the establishment of a long and strong sage has become a standard. Qianlong's fifth brother is very intelligent, not only superior in appearance but also in the talent of the emperor,
Therefore, Qianlong initially trained the five brothers as emperors, that is, the male protagonist in Huan Zhuge Ge.
But later, the fifth brother also died earlier than Qianlong, so the fifth brother also had no way to succeed to the throne
finish. Because Qianlong's health was very good, he finally lived to be more than a hundred years old, so many of his sons could not live longer than him because of physical reasons, so naturally they lost the opportunity to compete. Qianlong reigned for more than sixty years, and finally did not want to exceed the time of Kangxi's reign, so he abdicated.
Qianlong had the intention of abdicating, so he had to choose one of the current princes, the remaining princes were either young or old, there were few suitable, plus at the end of Qianlong, he liked Ling Guifei the most.
Therefore, he put Ling Guifei's son on the throne and became the most fortunate emperor.
Third, father help
Jiaqing's ascension to the throne did not experience the stimulation of Yongzheng Qianlong's ascension to the throne, and he was pushed to the throne by Qianlong in confusion
When Jiaqing was born, the surprise of the seizure had already begun, but Jiaqing was still young and did not participate in it. However, in the end, the princes who had the intention of seizing concubines were all found out and punished by Qianlong, and they were not qualified to take concubines in the end.
Because there was no crown prince in the late Qing Dynasty, the emperor wanted which prince to be the crown prince.
Put his name above the palace, and only after the emperor's death can he know who can succeed to the throne.
Because Qianlong respected Kangxi, he took the initiative to abdicate and became the Emperor Taishang, and Jiaqing also succeeded to the throne, and Jiaqing should indeed thank Qianlong for helping him overcome all difficulties.
Jiaqing was not happy after succeeding to the throne, although Qianlong abdicated, but the main right was still on Qianlong.
Jiaqing did not dare to refute Qianlong, after all, Qianlong had not yet died.
Once Qianlong was upset, the throne might be taken away. Since it was the throne sent by Qianlong, Jiaqing could only obey, and it was because of obedience that Jiaqing was often manipulated.
During the Jiaqing period, one of the biggest corrupt officials appeared, that is, Hezhen,
He deceived Jiaqing very hard, and when he finally raided the house, Jiaqing was surprised to say that he had never seen so many properties.
summary
Compared with the hardships of the succession of his father's generation, Jiaqing's ascension to the throne is much more prosaic.
His mind to seize the concubine was not heavy, but the throne naturally came into his hands, and he was also the first emperor in the history of the Qing Dynasty to ascend the throne during his lifetime, which was also very lucky.
However, because of Qianlong's support, Jiaqing did not have too many ideas of his own, and did not make much contribution during his reign. And the inheritance left by the ancestors is about to be used up,
Therefore, from Jiaqing onwards, the Qing Dynasty gradually declined, which eventually led directly to the corruption and collapse of the Qing government.
