There is only one reason. Between the four sons of Emperor Yi Kuang and the six sons of Emperor Yixin, he wavered and didn't know who to give the future of the Qing Dynasty to.
In terms of conditions, Yixin is much better than Yiyi.
As far as appearance is concerned, Yi Xin is tall, powerful and handsome, while Yi Yi is thin and looks like a sick seedling.
On talent, Yi Xin is witty and eloquent, while Yi Yi is taciturn, which is a famous "boring gourd".
On martial arts, Yi Xin rides and shoots others, which is quite a general, while Yi Yi is not very good at martial arts because of her weak body.
If Yixin is a fighter among men, then Yixin is a tractor among men. They are far apart from each other.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Yiyi is no match for Yixin.
Now that the judge has made a judgment, why does Daoguang count all the games that can't be played in the storage range?
He really needs to think about it. Because everything goes well, Yixin is an ordinary person, and Yi Yi, who is useless, is the eldest son.
In Daoguang's eyes, this is the way to take chaos since ancient times. The identity of an eldest son is enough to pull Yixin, who is far ahead in all competitions, back to the same starting line as Yiyi.
But before they become real emperors, they must accept a more severe test.
Once upon a time, the princes accompanied Daoguang in hunting, and all the princes showed their talents in front of Daoguang, shooting bears, deer and rabbits to show their superior martial arts. In this group of Wang Zizhong, six princes, Yi Xin, stood out, and returned home with a full load.
Yi Yi, who has poor physical fitness and poor riding and shooting skills, is naturally no match for this younger brother.
At this time, Daoguang asked Yi Xin and Yi Yi a profound question.
This question is very simple, so let the two brothers talk about their feelings about this hunting.
Yi Xin, who is full of heroism, expressed his desire to fight for the world and govern the Qing Dynasty through this hunting.
Daoguang is very happy. Who doesn't want his son to be fearless and have lofty ideals and ambitions?
And empty-handed Yi Yi only said such a paragraph.
He said: "It's spring now, and everything has just begun to recover and reproduce. Everything in the world has its own spirituality, and I don't want to hurt them just because I compare with your brothers. "
The emperor was dying, so he called Yi Xin and Yi Yi into the palace to ask. Yixin has a glib tongue and talks about national politics with a small mouth. He tried his best to show and prove himself to the emperor. He wanted to tell Daoguang that he was the most suitable candidate for the throne.
And our honest game is just kneeling on the ground with runny nose and tears. He said nothing, but his eyes were full of worries about Daoguang's sick body.
Then, Daoguang died, and the least popular prince ascended the throne in the Ninth Five-Year Plan and became the new ruler of the Qing Empire.
Aisingiorro Yi Kun became emperor, known as "Xianfeng Emperor" in history.
Why can this seemingly useless chess game become an emperor?
Because there is a person, this person is the teacher-Du Shoutian. It was he who instructed Yi Yi to show his kindness and filial piety in the two most critical tests. These two points are what Daoguang values most.
In a sense, the success of Jackson Yee's position depends on his mentor.
Without ability and talent, how can he be kind and filial?
But Ikun won. From then on, he was the supreme Emperor Xianfeng of Qing Dynasty.
The first thing Xianfeng did after he ascended the throne was to clean the military department. He doesn't really want to use the military history left by these late emperors. The young emperor wanted to set up his own working team. And he hates this state institution that controls himself everywhere.
Hand in the passbook. Why do they read it first? I haven't finished reading the newspaper. Why can they draw and alter it? Before long, Xianfeng dismissed Zhang Mu and the university students who had served as ministers of the Ministry of War in Daoguang.
This is the routine method of the new emperor after he ascended the throne. Emperors of all dynasties have done this because they want to consolidate the imperial power, but they want to consolidate the imperial power. People who have too much power and poor political achievements will be laid off.
The Great Hall of Qing Dynasty is like waves, wave after wave.
Daoguang's etiquette was shot and killed by Xianfeng in succession on the beach, and then he activated a man named Su Shun.
Su Shun is a vicious person. After he was promoted to Minister of Military Affairs, his attitude was tough and resolute, and he did two great things as soon as he took office.
Bai Heng, a first-class official, was in charge of the imperial examination, and corruption and bribery led to the prevalence of fraud in the examination room. Without further ado, Su Shun directly cut off the head of the three dynasties etiquette.
The so-called "shock the mountain to scare the tiger", after this incident, the atmosphere of Qing officialdom changed greatly.
At the beginning of Emperor Xianfeng's accession to the throne, the Taiping Rebellion broke out. The country wanted to fight, the military wanted to fight, and the economy wanted to fight. However, the national treasury is empty and the household department prints a lot of money. Unexpectedly, instead of easing the economic pressure, it led to inflation and soaring prices. Without delay, Su Shun was appointed Minister of Housing to rectify the economy and develop people's livelihood, which greatly eased the economic situation at that time.
Su Shun worked so hard to solve a "financial crisis" in the history of China.
The officialdom has stabilized and the economy has developed, but the peasant army uprising in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has intensified. The rebel army attacked the city, marched straight into it, even took Nanjing and established its own peasant regime-"Taiping Heavenly Kingdom".
In a sense, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was huge and powerful at that time, and it was entirely possible to overthrow the Qing Empire.
However, after these peasant-born insurgents established political power, they did not want to win the Qing Dynasty with all their might. Instead, they started a throats.
Emperor Xianfeng, the chicken thief, "took advantage of the fire to rob", concentrated his firepower and joined hands with foreign forces to destroy this resistance force in one fell swoop.
In this article, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement is not the protagonist, it is only an episode in the life of Emperor Xianfeng, but it is also worth mentioning.
This is the largest and longest peasant uprising in the history of China, which lasted 14 years. When the sphere of influence was the largest, there were 17 provinces. More importantly, this significance not only dealt a heavy blow to the feudal rule of the Qing Dynasty, but also resisted the invasion of foreign forces to some extent.
Foreign forces refer to Britain, France and the United States.
Let's review the history.
1840, a cannon shot opened the modern history of China. When foreigners came, the Qing government panicked.
The fiasco of the Qing government in the Opium War made these foreign invaders feel that China was a piece of fat and profitable.
Britain, France and the United States signed a series of treaties with the Qing government. There are many kinds of these treaties, including land cession, compensation, lease and so on, but they can be summarized in four words:
During the reign of Emperor Xianfeng, these foreigners became more and more hungry, and frequently put forward various demands to the Qing government, the most important of which was the legalization of opium smuggling. What is the legalization of opium smuggling? To put it bluntly, foreign forces are allowed to openly and freely trade drugs in China. Emperor Xianfeng quit. He waved his hand and said three words: beautiful thinking. The Second Opium War broke out.
Emperor Xianfeng has the determination to fight against the invaders, but he has no ability to fight against them.
More importantly, at the macro level of the world process, China has inevitably undergone historic modernization.
Xianfeng is the emperor, but he can't change the development of history.
The war ended with the Qing government being punched and kicked on the ground by foreign powers. Incidentally, in this war, the British and French allied forces set fire to the Yuanmingyuan and burned down this cultural hall in human history.
It is not difficult for us to imagine that the populous Qing Empire was powerless in the face of several foreign barbarians from afar. The failure of two Opium Wars is equivalent to one Ma Baoguo knocking down nine black belts in Taekwondo. The result is unbelievable.
After losing the war, the British and French allied forces trotted from Tianjin and invaded Beijing.
Emperor Xianfeng, who once advocated "promoting the greatness of the Qing Dynasty", saw that the situation was not good and took his children to get married and chose to flee. He ran to Jehol (now Chengde City, Hebei Province) and huddled in the summer resort.
Xianfeng at this time has completely lost himself in the rapid changes of the world. But it's not his fault.
China was a traditional feudal China in the period of Kang, Gan and Yong. The emperor faced his own internal and external troubles.
Before and after Xianfeng ascended the throne, history has pushed him to a field he never knew or touched.
Fortunately, an emperor who was not good at civil and military affairs stood on the cusp of world turmoil, and Xianfeng did not raise the white flag with both hands to surrender.
After that, Xianfeng lived in Jehol Palace for a long time, and his daily arrangement was to eat, drink and be merry. The following is a record of the life of the emperor's palace:
Love beauty-Xianfeng heard that there was a widow named Cao in Shanxi, who was glib and particularly beautiful, so she was called into the palace and tried to have sex every night.
Emperor Xianfeng, a Chinese opera lover, likes singing operas and going to see operas. Get up in the morning and listen to a paragraph before taking a nap. I felt very excited at night and stayed up all night until dawn. It can be called "a hardcore fan of Chinese Peking Opera".
Pour a glass-Xianfeng drinks all day, and when he drinks too much, he gets drunk. Ordinary people cry twice and hang themselves three times when they are drunk. Emperor Xianfeng was drunk, and eunuchs around him suffered, and they were often slaughtered when they were drunk. This led the palace people to betray morality, and everyone feared for themselves.
Smoking opium-the ancestral motto of the Qing emperor, smoking opium is forbidden. Perhaps Emperor Xianfeng was worried that the country was riddled with holes, but he was unable to return to heaven. He even got addicted to smoking, smoking five cigarettes and three roads a day, walking around in clouds.
The emperor, who once had a small achievement and a short-lived edge, can be said to be completely abolished.
He no longer had the courage and interest to return to Beijing and soon died in his palace.
Objectively speaking, Xianfeng, the twelfth emperor of the Qing Dynasty, can actually rank in the upper middle class. Facing the internal affairs of the country, he can make good use of talents, solve corruption and develop people's livelihood. If the reign of Emperor Kangxi Qianlong was handed over to Xianfeng, he might not be inferior to his predecessors.
The so-called "three points are doomed, and seven points depend on hard work." Emperor Xianfeng is not good these three days.
His life is terrible.
He caught up with the biggest peasant uprising in China's history.
Thousands of years of feudalism in China began to fall apart, and he caught up.
China began to connect with the world. He was bullied by the foreign powers and caught up with a special period when everything changed.
I think, the young emperor worked hard all his life, in fact, he tried his best to put the Qing Dynasty, a huge ship that has been sailing for 200 years in the long river of history, in its proper position. But he not only failed to turn the tide, but also left a big bomb to the Qing Dynasty after his death, that is, his wife Empress Dowager Cixi.
But Empress Dowager Cixi, later Guangxu and Xuan Tong. Even after that, all those who held or possessed the power of the Qing Dynasty. None of them can change the fate of the Qing Dynasty.
Because the wheel of history is rolling in, modern times are coming, modern times are coming, and the demise of the feudal dynasty is only a matter of time.
If they are smart enough, not so humble, and make great efforts, China may not be bullied in a century of modern history, but it will never last the Qing Dynasty.
Because no one can resist the arrival of a new era. No matter who this person is, what he has done or how.
In the end, it can only be turned into a historical bubble.
