Chapter 359: Old age and weakness

"Of course, it is undeniable that the age of 86 at the time of Qianlong's abdication made it impossible for him to deal with government affairs like he did when he was young, and he urgently needed the next generation to come up."

"Anyway, this kind of vacant emperor who gave up imperial power is not uncommon in history, "Li Yuan, Li Longji, Zhu Qizhen", maybe their fate, Qianlong didn't want to experience, so he abdicated. ”

"For Qianlong, even if Jiaqing succeeds to the throne, he is just a tool to assist him in handling trivial affairs, and military affairs must still be firmly held in his own hands, this is a natural power creature."

"In the three years he was the emperor, Qianlong still held the power alone."

"However, at the age of 89, Qianlong died suddenly almost without warning, so I don't know if there is a conspiracy theory?"

"After all, Emperor Qianlong was in good health and had a regular life, and he paid more attention to health preservation in his old age, and ginseng and other supplements were often taken."

There is no record of long-term illness in Qianlong's later years in the history books, and his physical state is nothing more than a common sign of physical weakness among the elderly such as "qi deficiency and weakness, lack of energy". ”

After taking the "Ginseng Lotus Drink" on the same day, Qianlong's physical condition deteriorated sharply, and he died on the morning of the third day of the first lunar month in just a few hours, and Qianlong did not even leave a decent will, and the subsequent edicts were written by the minister. ”

"Looking back at Qianlong's medical case before his death, there was no serious illness at the end of Qianlong's life, let alone treatment."

The diagnosis of the imperial doctor was that Qianlong died of "old age and qi deficiency".

"However, Qianlong doesn't seem to have sensed his old age and decrepit in advance."

"Before his death, Qianlong also paid close attention to the preparations for his 90th birthday ceremony and personally reviewed the design plans of officials."

His energy is so vigorous that he can't be seen to be an "old and weak" person. ”

"An old man who has been in good health all his life, an 88-year-old emperor who still has a firm grip on power, and he has no foreknowledge of his death, and he doesn't even prepare in advance? This probability is too low. ”

"Maybe I'm thinking too much, what do you say about Qianlong's age, he is indeed older, and it is understandable that he will normally die of illness."

Qianlong: Miss Zhang, you can boldly say that there is something to hide, I understand, it is nothing more than that the person on the throne has already premeditated!

Zhang Yanxi picked up a book and showed it to everyone, which was a detailed record of the emperor's diet in the "Qing Shilu".

Bian Que: Emperor Qianlong, you really have to investigate, this is really a big problem!

Liu Che: Could there still be a problem with this meal? Didn't someone try it for you?

Hua Tuo: It's really not small! This is a doctor who can understand it! Isn't that nonsense?

Bian Que: Look at this record, these 300 chapters are written after these pulse diagnoses, the questions written and the corresponding medicinal materials.

When he was 88 years old, he began to replenish his body, and used medicinal materials such as Zhenyin Yushen Soup and Wenzhong Qi Regulating Pills

The ginseng, raw land, white peony, and wheat dong contained in it are all medicinal materials that replenish yin deficiency.

However, the imperial doctor's diagnosis of Qianlong was "lack of heart qi, trance, sometimes weakness, and lack of sleep at night", which are typical symptoms of yang deficiency.

On the second day of the 89-year-old Lunar New Year, the imperial physician consulted Qianlong on his pulse, and the result was still that "the holy pulse is peaceful, but the qi is weak and the spleen is deficient". ”

It's all said so clearly, who else can't understand it!

Hua Tuo: An elderly person has yang deficiency in his body, but he has been taking yin deficiency, and the results can be imagined.

Zu Chongzhi: This may be the reason why Qianlong himself did not feel abnormal, he did strengthen his body through tonics, but it caused an imbalance of yin and yang in the body, and an elderly person whose body is on the fragile critical line has an imbalance of yin and yang, once it collapses, it is an instant thing.

Li Shimin: Why did the imperial doctor still prescribe these medicinal materials even though he knew Qianlong's physical condition? This Jiaqing Emperor can't escape at all!

Liu Bang: Then change to a prince, Brother Qianlong, I know why your son is still kept.

Qianlong: You think I want to! I never thought you had such ambitions!

Zhu Youzhen: Yo! This is the son of your Emperor Qianlong? You can't do that either!

Kangxi: You are really a, you don't have many sons, let others see the jokes of our love for Xinjueluo's family.

"Haha, there are a lot of Qianlong's sons, and they are also capable, it's a pity."

"However, Lord Qianlong, I think that your son may have been involved in the reason for your death, but it should not be the most important one, I think it was the premeditation of Emperor Jiaqing and He Shen!"

"Because Emperor Jiaqing didn't have much power after your death, the power of the Qing Dynasty is completely in the hands of He Shen, this Emperor Jiaqing is about the same as Emperor Chongzhen."

Qianlong: Then I have to check it carefully, but Miss Zhang, I'm too old to do it! How can I change my heir!

"Don't worry, your reward is indispensable."

"I still want to talk about your sons, some princes are still very suitable to be emperors, it's a pity!"

"In fact, Qianlong also had troubles about the position of the crown prince."

"The establishment of princes in successive dynasties has to go through the consideration and judgment of time, and the survival of the fittest can select the best prince candidate, which can be said to be the confusion and troubles of each generation of emperors."

"However, Emperor Qianlong's distress is not here."

"Because as long as he is the candidate for the crown prince in his heart, he either died prematurely or died seriously ill and died soon, a total of four died, which is very metaphysical."

"In your minds, you must know that there is a big difference between this concubine and the concubine, as Qianlong's father, Yongzheng is also a concubine, although he sits firmly in the country, no one can understand the loneliness in his heart."

"So after Qianlong ascended the throne, he has always admired the traditional way of establishing a concubine as the eldest son."

"And Qianlong's first favorite prince is the eldest son born to his original wife, Empress Xiaoxian, Yonglian."

"Yonglian has been very smart since he was a child, and he is also deeply loved by Qianlong, and was secretly established as the prince in the first year of Qianlong, and the succession is placed behind the plaque of Zhengda Guangming."

"Although the establishment of Yonglian as the prince has not been hyped up, whether it is the previous dynasty or the harem knows the news, after all, even Yonglian's name was given by his grandfather Yongzheng himself, which means that he can inherit the ancestor." ”

"But two years later, Yonglian occasionally caught a cold and died, because the level of ancient medicine was very underdeveloped, and a small cold could kill a person in the palace."

At that time, Yonglian was only nine years old, Qianlong lost his beloved son, five days did not go to court, after Yonglian's death, Qianlong asked the Ministry of Rites to bury Yonglian with the gift of the prince, posthumously named the crown prince of Duanhui, and also announced to the world that when writing, to avoid the word "Lian" in Yonglian's name. ”

"It can be seen that Qianlong likes his sister-in-law Yonglian."
