In his later years, Kangxi had "nine sons seized the office" and Qianlong had 17 sons. Why is his succession so peaceful?

What did Kangxi have in his later years? Nine sons seized the office? However, Qianlong had 17 sons, but he succeeded calmly because his children were too mediocre.

The fire in Yan Xi Palace and Ruyi's royal love in the palace, I believe everyone has some preliminary understanding of this period of history. I believe everyone knows the story of nine sons (eldest brother, second brother, third brother, fourth brother, starling, Jiu Ge, tenth brother, thirteenth brother and fourteenth brother) when Kangxi was in power, but why didn't it happen during the Qianlong period? In fact, this is because Ganlong has been in office for too long, and his princes have abdicated before Ganlong abdicated, which eventually led to Ganlong's direct abdication.

Kangxi did not establish Chu Jun in his later years, which made every prince want to try. Since ancient times, wise monarchs have usually made decisions early on the issue of heirs. After all, it will be difficult when the children are all grown up. Therefore, Kangxi named Yin Yong the Crown Prince very early after his birth. However, the goods of the Yin people lived up to expectations and repeatedly made crazy experiments on the edge of threatening the imperial power, which led Kangxi to abolish him and abolish him. In the end, Kangxi was completely disappointed with Yin Ren, but looking at the eager faces of the second child, the eighth child and the fourteenth child, he was disappointed with all the children. Everyone wants to be an emperor, right? Well, I just won't stand and see what kind of days you can dig up. In order to avoid competing for reserves, Qianlong decided to celebrate in the middle and late period of his power. ?

Kangxi's children are excellent, and Qianlong's sons are mediocre. Everyone knows that Emperor Kangxi was emperor for 60 years and lived for nearly 70 years, while Emperor Qianlong was emperor for more than 60 years and lived for nearly 90 years. Therefore, there are many children. Check Kangxi's household registration book first. There are 24 men. Although Qianlong also gave birth to seventeen sons, the survival rate was not high, and only ten of them lived to the end. After all, they lived longer than the oldest emperor in history. Therefore, in terms of quantity, the choice of Qianlong is smaller than that of Kangxi. Some people say that Jiaqing is lucky and an emperor with general qualifications. Those are Jiaqing's brothers. Really worse than Jiaqing's, Gan Long can only be a dwarf. Look at Kangxi's sons. One is more scheming than the other, especially the last four, Yongzheng and Hachi, who are even more geniuses. ?

The prince was spoiled in the palace since he was a child. Except for Mei, his abilities were mostly mediocre, but Mei died when she was young. What Ganlong valued most was May, but it was a pity that Ganlong died young in May, which made him very sad. Mei died young, and the rest of the brothers were powerless even if they wanted to fight for the throne? It may be disabled and directly eliminated; On May 11th, I was completely uninterested in the throne; Brother 17 only thinks about an affair; The remaining two brothers are not interested in politics.

Under such circumstances, Qianlong had a difficult problem in the choice of the prince. Mediocre princes knew that they could not compete with each other, and it was difficult to get strong support from courtiers, so they gave up early without competition. In order to inherit the throne, Qianlong had to make Jiaqing, who was mediocre in ability, a prince. Although Emperor Qianlong had many princes like Emperor Kangxi, most of them died unfortunately.
