Why did Qianlong pass the throne to Jiaqing after seeing the fortune teller and returning to the palace?

I think everyone is familiar with the name of Emperor Qianlong. Among the emperors of the Qing Dynasty, he was the best. In the early days of his administration, he loved the people like a son and implemented a frivolous and generous policy, which lightened the burden of the Lebanese people many times. Not only that, once a disaster happens in a certain place, he will spend a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources to carry out rescue work, so Emperor Qianlong is deeply loved by the people of the Qing Dynasty, and his rule is also called "the prosperous time of Kang Gan" with the rule of his grandfather Kangxi.

At the same time, in order to better understand the people's feelings, Emperor Qianlong often visited incognito to get close to the living conditions of ordinary people. After an anonymous visit, he met a fortune teller, who immediately passed it on to Emperor Jiaqing. What happened?

At that time, Emperor Qianlong came to Suzhou for a private visit and saw a peaceful scene in the area. He was extremely satisfied and thought that he had managed it well. One day, when he had nothing to do, he wanted to go to the busy market. He looked around and happened to see an old fortune teller setting up a stall not far away. Emperor Qianlong, who was dominated by curiosity, decided to find out.

Emperor Qianlong walked in and found that the old man looked like a sage like type, with white hair, and he had three points of admiration for him before he spoke.

Just when Emperor Qianlong wanted to ask him to divine for himself, the white-haired old man came forward and said, "Your Excellency doesn't have to say anything. I know who you are and what you want to ask. "

As soon as Qianlong heard the interest, he asked the old man, "Then tell me, who am I and what do you want to ask?"

The old man smiled and replied, "Your Excellency is the most distinguished person in the world today-the emperor. The question you have to solve is how long you can live."

Emperor Qianlong's face suddenly changed when he heard this, and a thousand waves rose in his heart. Before he could express his surprise, the fortune teller added, "In my opinion, your time is running out. If you stay on the throne, I am afraid it will be in jeopardy. "

Emperor Qianlong didn't mind saying such disrespectful words, but he didn't recognize the truth of these words. He just listened to a story and left with a smile.

Just after walking 500 meters, Emperor Qianlong suddenly thought that since this veteran can know his identity and doubts in advance, it shows that he has certain ability. If he really has the ability of prophecy, wouldn't it be a great threat to the country? Thought of here, he hurriedly let the attendants around him go back and eradicate the demagogic way.

But when the guards rushed back to the scene, they found that the old road had disappeared without a trace, leaving only a note that read: The old man only tells his fortune for one person in his life.

At this time, Emperor Qianlong realized that this old gentleman was the one who divined a divination for himself decades ago, because this divination escaped him from the beginning, and now he appears again, probably to save himself for the second time.

By this time, the doubts and disdain before Emperor Qianlong had already vanished. On the contrary, he was deeply frightened. He couldn't help feeling that he had sent someone back to investigate, or born to die! After returning to the palace, Emperor Qianlong announced his abdication and passed the throne to Emperor Jiaqing. He became the emperor's father, and after more than three years, Emperor Qianlong finally passed away.

This story seems to have a beginning and an end, and the plot is reasonable, but it can't stand scrutiny. Regardless of why Lao Dao appeared at that time, he forced to predict the death date of Emperor Qianlong. That is to say, Emperor Qianlong was still in office after he became the emperor's father, but he passed the throne to Emperor Jiaqing in name, which in itself violated the connotation of Lao Dao's prophecy, but why did Emperor Qianlong still live for three years and four months?

So in my opinion, this "prophecy" trick is probably arranged by Emperor Jiaqing. At that time, Emperor Qianlong was over eighty years old, but he was still alive. He abruptly put all the fourteen brothers in front of Emperor Jiaqing to death. At this time, Emperor Jiaqing was 36 years old, and he was not sure when Emperor Qianlong died. So in order to prevent it from happening outside, he ordered someone to pretend to be an antique and urged Emperor Qianlong to pass it on to him.

Maybe he didn't expect this. After becoming the emperor's father, Emperor Qianlong still refused to delegate power and almost regarded him as a "puppet emperor". As for the so-called prophecy, we just need to laugh it off as a talk after dinner! what do you think?
