Why did Qianlong turn to the Temple of Heaven and make a wish: Let the prince die early?

Just named Wei's son a prince, but turned away and made a wish and prayed on the Temple of Heaven: Let the prince die early, because he hoped that Wei's son would be virtuous, take care of state affairs and shoulder this burden himself. Another reason is that he has promised to abdicate for 60 years.

Emperor Kangxi, the grandfather of Qianlong, has been emperor for 60 years, which is a long time in history. Therefore, when Qianlong acceded to the throne, out of respect for his grandfather Kangxi, he made a promise to Wu Wen Guan Bai at that time. He said that if he could be the emperor for 60 years, he would take the initiative to abdicate and would not continue to be emperor, surpassing his grandfather Kangxi to show his respect for Kangxi.

At that time, after Qianlong succeeded to the throne, there was still one big thing to do, that is, to choose a prince. He chose the method of establishing a prince in Yongzheng and opened a shop in secret. At that time, Ganlong had a very good relationship with his first wife, Empress Hyo-hyun. It can be said that Qi Mei and his wife are deeply in love, out of love for me and my dog. He wanted his son and the son of Empress Hyo-hyun to become princes, but unfortunately, both of them died young due to illness. So Qianlong had no choice but to choose another prince

However, when the prince was just established, when Qianlong went to the Temple of Heaven, he made a puzzling wish. He prayed to heaven that if the prince is virtuous, God will bless him to grow up and inherit the unity of the country. If he is incompetent and can't inherit, let him die early so as not to harm other people and officials. In fact, Gan Long didn't really curse his sons, but hoped that they could govern the country wisely.
