Emperor Qianlong's sorrow, the premature death of his beloved wife, and the mediocrity of the prince, Qianlong: What can I do?

The most famous emperors in Qing Dynasty were Emperor Kangxi and Emperor Qianlong. Emperor Kangxi pacified San Francisco, pacified Junggar and recovered Taiwan Province Province, which was of great significance to maintaining the stability of the inheritance of the Qing Dynasty.

After thirteen years' accumulation by his father Yong Zhengdi, Emperor Qianlong enriched the national treasury. Therefore, Emperor Qianlong was able to conduct civil and military work, edit Siku Quanshu, expand the territory of the Qing Dynasty, and make seven tours to the south of the Yangtze River.

But Emperor Qianlong not only has the martial arts of sandwich, but also has his own sorrow, that is, his wife died young, the prince was mediocre, the back seat was unoccupied, and there was no heir to the throne. For him, no contribution can be compared.

In fact, in the past two years, people have gradually learned about the love story between Emperor Qianlong and Emperor Qianlong, but the plots interpreted in those TV dramas will be somewhat different at that time. After all, this is just a TV series, not a real historical record.

When Emperor Qianlong was a brother, he was married by Yong Zhengdi to a daughter of the most famous Fu Cha family at that time, Miss Fu Cha.

Yong Zhengdi's marriage is also political. After all, the Fu Cha family was an aristocrat in the Qing Dynasty, and there were many capable ministers and officials in the Fu Cha family, which had formed a certain sense of family politics. Therefore, Miss Fu Cha was betrothed to Emperor Qianlong, her younger brother at that time.

It is also an extremely important political help to Emperor Qianlong. Although Li Hong was the heir to Yong Zhengdi's will at that time, he still needed a certain background if he wanted to become a real emperor of the Qing Dynasty and master the situation and stabilize the political situation as soon as possible after Yong Zhengdi's death.

After all, Emperor Qianlong's mother's status is relatively low, and she can't get the support of her family, so the strength of her wife is also part of Yongzheng's consideration for her son.

So after Li Hong and Miss Fu Cha got married, they treated each other like guests and cared for each other. Soon, their son was born. This child is the first son born by his first wife, that is, the eldest son.

Although he is the second son of Li Hong, as the eldest son, he is highly valued by Yong Zhengdi and Li Hong. In addition, Yong Zhengdi personally named him Yong Lian, and he had hoped that he could take his father's place and become the third generation emperor. Unfortunately, after Yong Zhengdi's death, the eldest son, Yong Lian, died in the year when Emperor Qianlong ascended the throne.

Fortunately, Queen Fu Cha can still have children. A few years later, their second child, the seventh son of Emperor Yong Cong, was born, but his fate seemed to be the same as his brother's and he died in a few years.

After that, Queen Fu Cha was very sad. Emperor Qianlong saw that his beloved wife was so sad because of her son's death, so he began to take Queen Fu Cha, who was in poor health, to visit Jiangnan. Maybe a change of place and mood will make the queen better, but he didn't expect that the queen died on the way to Jiangnan.

Deeply saddened by this incident, Emperor Qianlong personally held a funeral for the Queen in Beijing, and moved the bluebird boat she lived on her way south to the south to the palace to pay tribute at any time. After Fu Cha's death, Emperor Qianlong personally went to posthumous title as the "filial piety" queen for her to represent the virtue of the queen.

Moreover, after the death of Empress Xiaoxian, Emperor Qianlong often mourned and visited the palace where she lived before her death. Any major event is first conveyed to the soul of Empress Hyo-hyun.

This also proves the sincere love between Emperor Qianlong and Empress Xiaoxian. After all, the filial piety queen accompanied the emperor Qianlong step by step, and such feelings are unmatched by anyone. Therefore, the death of Empress Hyo-hyun was also a considerable blow to Emperor Qianlong.

The Qing Dynasty was different from other feudal dynasties. After all, the Qing dynasty was established by foreign tribes, and the inheritance system of foreign tribal chiefs was not the eldest son inheritance system, but the establishment of sages.

Only since the establishment of the Qing dynasty, it has actively absorbed the traditional culture of the Han nationality in the Central Plains, so in the hearts of the Qing emperors, it is also hoped that their sons will inherit the throne. Only among the twelve emperors in the Qing Dynasty, the only one who succeeded to the throne as a son was Daoguang.

The other eleven emperors inherited the throne as illegitimate children, but fortunately, the Qing Dynasty was a country dominated by sages. Otherwise, according to the situation of other countries, the son would always inherit the throne.

In the heart of emperor Qianlong, I have been looking forward to having a son inherit the throne. So, when he and the eldest son of Empress Hyo-hyun grew up safely, after Emperor Qianlong ascended the throne, he wrote Yong Lian's name in a secret box for the first time and put it on the chessboard, hoping that he could inherit his throne in the future.

It's a pity that Yong Lian died soon. After his death, Emperor Qianlong also opened the will in the secret box and decided to make Yong Lian the Crown Prince with the emblem.

Although the eldest son died, a few years later, the second son was born, and the emperor named him Yongcong, which means inheriting the imperial clan. I just don't know if it was because of the weak foundation or something. Yongcong died a few years later.

Soon the death of the queen also brought a deep blow to Emperor Qianlong. Under the impact of reality, Emperor Qianlong knew that he had no son to inherit the throne, so he had to choose among illegitimate children.

After the death of his first son, Emperor Qianlong decided to choose among illegitimate children. Among many sons, the one that most satisfies him is the five elder brothers who are often mentioned in Princess Zhu Huan.

Mei Yongqi is said to be an illegitimate child, but she has been clever since childhood.

After studying in the study room, he pestered the teacher to ask questions endlessly until all the questions were understood. His attitude of loving learning pleased Emperor Qianlong.

May Yongqi began to edit the manuscript in his teens, and named it "Delivery", which was also read by Emperor Qianlong. Therefore, Emperor Qianlong also appreciated Yong Qi, and this attitude of settling down to edit books was the most gratifying to Emperor Qianlong.

One year, when Emperor Qianlong gave a banquet in the Kyushu Qingyan Hall of Yuanmingyuan to entertain foreign envoys, the people who waited on him accidentally caught fire, and Kyushu Qingyan caught fire. At that time, the 5 1 year-old emperor Qianlong was trapped in the sea of fire, and no one around him dared to come forward to rescue him. Only in May, Yongqi struggled to jump into the fire and carried Emperor Qianlong out.

This move deeply touched the emperor Qianlong, who thought that the child really had his own heart, so the emperor Qianlong began to focus on cultivating Yongqi and let Yongqi handle some court affairs.

Only Yongqi began to suffer from leg disease shortly thereafter. In order to praise Yongqi, Emperor Qianlong honored Yongqi, and the title of honor was selected by the emperor shunzhi for the son of Dong E Fei.

The word "Rong" also implies the meaning of inheriting the imperial clan, so Emperor Qianlong had long wanted May Yongqi to be the crown prince, but it was a pity that Yongqi died soon after receiving this title.

Is it because of your love that you can't stand it and will die one after another? This idea gradually took root in the heart of Emperor Qianlong.

As Di Zi and Aiko died one after another, Emperor Qianlong's throne was in danger of no one inheriting it. Although there are still many emperors alive, most of them were left by Emperor Qianlong to other princes' families, becoming princes, Beizi, Baylor and so on.

And why did Emperor Qianlong do this? First of all, because these princes have been excluded from the succession to the throne by him, in order to prevent them from competing for the throne, giving them an heir early will also break their hearts;

Secondly, because these princes with specific titles hold great power, it is also a manifestation to take the opportunity to centralize power and kneel down to these children.

So in the rest of Wang Zizhong, such as Yong Xun, he is very fond of calligraphy and literature, and has a high attainments, but he is very stingy and has no royal demeanor.

Therefore, Emperor Qianlong also excluded him from the succession to the throne, and among the remaining princes, only fifteen May Yan Yong was slightly stronger at that time, so he chose a big one among the scorpions and made Yan Yong the Crown Prince.

During the Qianlong period, the comprehensive national strength of the Qing Dynasty reached its peak, but it was abandoned because no good heir owned a powerful country.

Therefore, Emperor Qianlong chose Emperor Jiaqing in the event of succession, but Emperor Jiaqing was not the most satisfactory candidate.

Even before Emperor Jiaqing ascended the throne, Jiaqing was posthumously sealed as the tomb of Yong Lian, Crown Prince of Duan Hui, bowing down as a gift, which meant that the position of the Prince was given to him by Yong Lian, and he continued to deal with state affairs after Emperor Qianlong's meditation. At this point, it is enough to prove that Emperor Jiaqing was not chosen by Emperor Qianlong.

But there is no way, for the sake of the inheritance of the dynasty, Qianlong can only do so, after all, there is his grandson Mianning to rely on.
