Gan Long's birthday crape myrtle sings.

Every time the emperor ascended the throne, or the emperor's queen celebrated her birthday, it was a day of universal celebration. In addition to amnesty, ministers are also very busy, thinking about preparing unique gifts. As long as they can make the emperor happy, promotion and knighthood are just around the corner. Sixty years of Qianlong was definitely a very important period for the whole Qing Dynasty, because it was the 85th birthday of Long Live Grandpa, and ladies-in-waiting and guards were all smiling.

In ancient times, it was a miracle that Gan Long lived to be over 80 years old. The happiest thing is himself. What could make him happier than this? In order to celebrate Ganlong's birthday, everyone in the palace is as busy as a bee, preparing all kinds of matters, and there can't be any mistakes, otherwise it's no joke. Without good fruit to eat, it's light to lose your job, and maybe even your life will have to be caught.

Civil and military officials are busier than eunuchs and ladies-in-waiting, too busy to stop. Even when I sleep at night, I wonder what kind of gift I can give to please the emperor. You can't be too unconventional, otherwise it will be counterproductive; It can't be too ordinary, otherwise there will be no bright spot, and someone will stay up all night for this matter. Ji Xiaolan was very clever, and wrote a pair of couplets praising Qianlong's achievements at a very low cost, which made him very happy. Since then, his career path has been unstoppable and his promotion speed has been amazing.

The most relaxed are Emperor Qianlong and his grandson. Not only do they not need to prepare rich birthday gifts, but according to the custom of the royal family in the past, they can also receive thick red envelopes from Long Live the Grandpa. After Ganlong's birthday ceremony began, according to the process, the gods and ancestors were worshipped first, thanking them for blessing the Qing Dynasty with good weather and prosperity. Then the ministers began to offer various gifts, including gold and silver jewelry, jade calligraphy and painting.

Ganlong had 27 children in his life, including prince 17 and princess 10. In terms of quantity, he ranked second among the Qing emperors, second only to his grandfather Kangxi. Except for a few princes and princesses who died young or early, they all got married and had many grandchildren. If the total adds up, there will be 80 without 100.

After all, this is a rare good day. Ganlong has already prepared a red envelope. Although it won't be tens of thousands of silver, it won't be too little. After all, he has a good face. After the children and grandchildren gave birthday speeches, Qianlong asked the guards to carry out some heavy boxes. All children and grandchildren receive the same reward, regardless of their age and seniority. They came forward to receive the reward according to the list read by the eunuch, and then bowed down to give thanks.

After this process, almost everyone was overjoyed, except the fifteenth prince, who was named Prince Jia six years ago. Why is he empty-handed He doesn't care what's in his father's red envelope. After all, he doesn't lack that money. What he cares about is recognition. If he is not recognized, it means he is left out in the cold. It is an unrealistic fantasy to want to inherit the throne in the future.

Just as Yan Yong was fidgeting, Gan Long smiled and said to him in front of all the ministers, "I have prepared a generous gift for you. You must like it very much, but I can't give it to you at this time. " Most of the ministers present speculated, but no one dared to say. Nine months later, Qianlong established Yan Yong as the Crown Prince, and in the second year, the Zen position was on him. At this moment, Yan Yong suddenly realized that the gift that Qianlong said was the throne. In addition, Qianlong left a small Shenyang for him. After the small Shenyang was robbed of its property, its huge property was owned by Yan Yong (Jiaqing), but Jiaqing lacked the ability to govern the country and could not better govern the country.
