Why did you choose Qianlong as the heir to the throne?

Qianlong, surnamed Aisingiorro and named Li Hong, was the fourth emperor after the Qing Dynasty was the original Ding. He ascended the throne at the age of 25 and reigned for 60 years. After abdicating, he became the emperor's father for three years and actually held the highest power for 63 years and 4 months. He was the longest reigning emperor in China.

Gan Long's birthplace, birth mother, life experience and being designated as the heir to the throne are all controversial and research topics in later generations.

No matter how controversial, history is history, and Qianlong finally became emperor, making great efforts to govern and creating a prosperous time for Kanggan.

Qianlong's accession to the throne is the result of historical choice. So, how was he chosen as the heir to the throne? Did Kangxi decide that he became the Crown Prince?

1. Kangxi's love made him win at the starting line.

Among many grandchildren of Kangxi, Li Hong was originally a very humble person. Kangxi was born in Yongqing Palace in Beijing in the fiftieth year (17 1 1). Gan Long's mother is an ordinary Gege Niulu, but this Niulu is not an aristocrat.

In Qing dynasty, oregano was listed as one of the eight famous schools. There are many famous ministers and queens in this surname. The "Niu Zhi Lu" in the "Eight Great Men" means that all the founding fathers have one. Gan Long's mother's ancestor is a cousin of Yidu named Ye Teng. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, this branch has been unknown and has never been a big shot. By the time Ganlong's mother's grandfather came, it even became a humble Ding Bai.

Zhu Ling, the grandfather of Qianlong, is nothing more than a "four-gift ceremony", that is, an official who shouted slogans when holding various ceremonies in the palace. He is an honorary post, usually for the queen's family.

The sixty-first year of Kangxi was also the last spring of Kangxi's life. The peony in the Peony Pavilion in Yuanmingyuan is very beautiful. May 4th invited Kangxi to enjoy the peony in Yuanmingyuan.

This is a rare opportunity. The May 4th Movement wanted his grandson to meet his grandfather, so he brought Li Hong and Hongzhou to pay a visit to Kangxi. Li Hong was twelve years old this year.

Seeing the sky for the first time, Hung-chien winced and was nervous. In contrast, Li Hong, who stood on the side, was much calmer. He took his time and behaved appropriately, which interested Kangxi very much. In addition, he also checked his homework and found that Li Hong was responsive, which made Kangxi very satisfied.

Li Hong won the favor of his grandfather Kangxi with his outstanding performance, stood out among more than 90 grandchildren and ascended the throne in small steps.

2. Life is precious.

It is said that Li Hong's cleverness left a very good impression on Kangxi. Kangxi felt that Li Hong had the style of being an ancestor and would make a difference in the future.

A few days later, Kangxi sent eunuchs to ask for Li Hong's horoscope and asked people to push their lives according to the horoscope.

Eight-character divination is to infer the result of life development according to the date of a person's birth.

Today, constellations are purely superstitious. But in the past, this superstition often changed a person's fate and the development of the whole history of China, such as the eight characters of Qianlong.

1929, the first batch of cabinet files published by the Archives of the Palace Museum included the birthday of Gan Long and his comments. The content is as follows:

Ganlong eight characters:

Xin Mao (fifty years of Kangxi)

Ding You (August)

Geng Wu (No.13)

Bingzi (Zishi).

Comment: Geng Jin was born in mid-autumn, in the land of Yang Blade, Jin Town. He was badly robbed. He regards fire as the most beautiful thing, and when it is dry, in the golden autumn of flame, he casts it as a weapon of the sword. Unique pattern, producing wealth and prosperity. Taking a bath at noon, at noon, Mao, and you, you like to rush, but also hurt officials, exorcise evil spirits and turn into a major case.

This comment on writing was written by a fortune teller. There was a set of fixed calculation methods for numerology in ancient China.

According to numerology, it is a gifted and strong destiny, which is called "lean body" in terms of "eight characters", "heavenly stems, Geng, Xin, C, D" and fire-refined autumn gold. The ground branch is in the meridian, the bureau is all four positive, and human life wins. He rides the wind as a horse and the Lord is rich.

Perhaps it was this unusual character that made Kangxi decide to raise Li Hong in the palace. Before Li Hong, only Hongxi, the eldest son of the Prince, was "kept in the palace" by Kangxi.

In the sixty-first year of Kangxi, Kangxi and Li Hong stayed in the summer resort, and their grandparents and grandchildren were inseparable.

When Kangxi approved the throne, Li Hong was writing and grinding ink beside him. Kangxi sometimes got up and walked behind Li Hong and taught him to write. Even when discussing state affairs, Kangxi asked Li Hong to attend.

Kangxi likes Li Hong very much because he is clever and studious. Later, Gan Long wrote Qing Bi Ting Nostalgia to recall this period of time. Li Hong is also very talented in riding and shooting. In Grace Cathedral, the summer resort, it is very good to mention Li Hong's archery. Kangxi was very happy and rewarded him with a yellow jacket.

On one occasion, Kangxi and Li Hong went out hunting together. In the hunting ground, Kangxi hit a grizzly bear with a musket. The bear fell to the ground, motionless. Kangxi thought the bear was dead. In order to exercise Li Hong's courage, he ordered him to shoot an arrow.

Li Hong obeyed and rode in. Suddenly, the grizzly bear stood up and shouted at Li Hong. When everyone saw this thrilling scene, they were so scared that they all thought that Li Hong would be buried under the bear's paw. Fortunately, Kangxi was witty, picked up the musket next to him and fired three shots in a row. The grizzly bear fell to the ground and twitched a few times, and it was completely dead.

Kangxi broke out in a cold sweat and felt that Li Hong was so lucky that he would be a rich man in the future. A few days later, Kangxi summoned Li Hong's mother Niu Zhilu. After meeting, Kangxi said that Niu Zhilu was also a rich man.

After Yongzheng ascended the throne, he secretly built a library and made Li Hong the Crown Prince. Although Li Hong himself is excellent, more importantly, Kangxi's love is another great weight for Li Hong's treasury.

3. A game without an opponent

Yongzheng emperor Yi * * * had ten sons, but most of them died young. Only, Hongzhou and three sons survived.

As far as age is concerned, although Li Hong is the same age as Hongzhou, Li Hong's month is older. Hiroshi is still relatively young at this time.

Li Hong grew up in the palace since childhood and was raised by Kangxi himself, which shows his outstanding knowledge.

Comparatively speaking, Hongzhou is much inferior. Hongzhou is a famous "absurd prince" in history. He likes to hold funerals, eat sacrifices and be arrogant and willful. In position, intelligence and ability, he is not enough to compete with Li Hong for the throne.

In addition, Hongzhou was born in Geng Xu, the daughter of Geng Dejin who was in charge. Although Geng Dejin is an important official in the DPRK, compared with the Manchu lineage of Niu Zhilu's family, the Han Chinese lineage in Geng Shi may be slightly inferior.

In this way, Li Hong's competitive advantage directly crushed Hongzhou and Hongyuan, and Li Hong became the best candidate for the throne.

After Li Hong ascended the throne, he changed his country name to Qianlong, which created a prosperous time for Kanggan. During the period of Kang Yong, the two emperors made great achievements in economy, military and culture on the basis of stabilizing the rule of the Qing Dynasty. After Li Hong ascended the throne, they further improved the national governance measures, which made the prosperity of the Qing Dynasty reach an unprecedented state.
