It can be said that it was Emperor Yongzheng's "Picture of Cang Long Teaching His Son" that changed Hongli's destiny and made him the Qianlong Emperor.
You know, inheriting the throne is not inheriting an inheritance.
The emperor has many sons, and if you have no future, he can give way to another one.
Fortunately, Hongli seized this opportunity and got Yongzheng's approval. Therefore, this "Cang Long Goddess Picture" is of vital significance to Emperor Qianlong.
After the death of Emperor Yongzheng, Qianlong still thought about it and often took out the "Picture of the Canglong Goddess" given by his father to appreciate it. On the one hand, it was for nostalgia, and on the other hand, it was to spur himself on.
It is precisely because of this that he achieved the prosperous Qianlong era during his sixty-year reign.
But it's a bit funny to say that when Qianlong was in his middle age, he also encountered the same problem as his father, Emperor Yongzheng. He had many sons, but few of them lived up to their expectations.
After reviewing them one by one, it turned out that the fifteenth son Yong Yan was pretty good, but it seemed that there was still a big gap between him and himself when he was young. Emperor Qianlong was not very satisfied.
After thinking about it, he learned and applied the trick that his father Yongzheng warned him about.
However, the painting "Cang Long Godson Picture" written by Emperor Yongzheng was given to him last time. It was impossible for Emperor Qianlong to reward Yong Yan again. Later, Emperor Qianlong thought of a way and ordered the manufacturing office to make a pink celadon glaze jar.
, the glazed relief "Picture of Canglong teaching his son" can be regarded as a substitute for the painting.
Emperor Qianlong was very satisfied with the creation of the pink celadon-glazed Canglong Godson Jar. Just like himself, he rewarded Yongyan with the Canglong Godson Jar on his tenth birthday, but he did not explain it and let his son realize it on his own.
As a result, Qianlong pretended to be a little too big.
He also didn't want to think about it. When you saw that painting, weren't you also confused? Only with Pan Shiquan's explanation did you understand Yongzheng's good intentions?
The results were self-evident. After half a year, Yong Yan had not made any progress. Only then did Emperor Qianlong think that his precious son might not be as "smart" as he was. After all, there were too few geniuses like him.
So, he ordered his personal eunuch to "implicitly" convey his intentions to Yong Yan, and it worked.
In the next more than a year, Yong Yan seemed to have opened up the two channels of Ren and Du, and the two businesses made rapid progress, and finally satisfied Emperor Qianlong.
Next, he followed the example of his father, Yongzheng Ye, and made Yong Yan the crown prince when he was thirteen years old. From then on, Yong Yan started his miserable career.
Why is it called a miserable life?
Because he has a great body, he eats deliciously, he occupies the latrine and does not poop, and he sits in the emperor's position. Came down.
Yong Yan grew up from a young boy to thirty years old. He and I are still enjoying the position of emperor and have no intention of giving in.
After enduring it for another two years, Yong Yan couldn't stand it any longer, and her mentality was even about to collapse.
Emperor Qianlong's face was glowing after eating, drinking and having fun all day long, while Yong Yan looked sad every day, and her hair turned a lot of white. If this continued, there was no telling who would die first. Now, Yong Yan couldn't bear it anymore.
Yong Yan's mentality changed, and Emperor Qianlong also saw the clues in his words and deeds, and was very dissatisfied with his son.
Qianlong said to his heart, why don’t you understand my good intentions?
Your father is a prosperous Ming Dynasty master with rich experience, but you are still very young!
Isn’t this also for you to consolidate your empire? Why don’t you understand?
Emperor Qianlong was really disappointed with his sons, and even thought about abolishing Yong Yan's decree and establishing him as a heir apparent. However, considering the virtues of his remaining sons, he finally gave up the idea.
Although Yong Yan disappointed him a little, it is undeniable that Yong Yan is the most outstanding among all his sons. For the sake of the Qing Dynasty for generations to come, it cannot be trivial.
After calming down and thinking about it carefully, it seems that Yong Yan's anxiety is understandable.
After thinking about it for several more years, Emperor Qianlong finally figured it out, and finally abdicated the throne to Yong Yan when he was thirty-six years old.
In fact, it was not that he had figured it out, but that Yong Yan was getting more and more impatient. If this continued, even if he was not anxious to die, he would have a mental breakdown.
Lord Qianlong was such an upbeat son. If he had any shortcomings, he would really be in trouble. He couldn't be like Ming Taizu and abdicate the throne to his grandson, right?
You know, Zhu Yunwen didn't sit here for a few years before he was taken down by his uncle Zhu Di. For this reason, the Taoist soldiers met each other and fought for several years.
If the issue of abdication really led to chaos in the Qing Dynasty, then he would be the eternal sinner of the Aisin Gioro family.
For the sake of the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Qianlong gave in despite his unwillingness.
But the abdication was abdication, but Emperor Qianlong did not delegate power and always kept the power in his own hands. This led to an extremely rare situation in feudal history where the Supreme Emperor was in power.
The miserable Yong Yan struggled for thirty-six years and finally became the emperor, but was reduced to a puppet emperor. It was not until the death of Emperor Qianlong four years later that Yong Yan gained real power.
For forty years before and after, Emperor Jiaqing was really not easy, and even reached the edge of collapse.
It is precisely because of this that after taking power, Emperor Jiaqing was eager to prove himself, so the miserable Heshen became Emperor Jiaqing's test subject to prove himself. It was a revelation and a wake-up call!
