Why did Yongzheng abandon the primogeniture inheritance system and choose Hongli when his brother Ho

It can be said that the Qing Dynasty has never had a tradition of inheritance of the eldest son. First of all, Huang Taiji and Shunzhi outside the gate were not the eldest son to succeed to the throne, and the Qing Dynasty paid more attention to the consideration of the ability and character of the heir.

Because Hongli is more capable than his brother, and Kangxi finally passed the throne to Yongzheng, there are also factors in it that he likes Qianlong.

Although Hongshi was built, he once leaked the imperial examination for power, which is equivalent to betraying Yongzheng. Such a parallel misbehaving prince, Yongzheng rectified and let him succeed to the throne? Therefore, Yongzheng directly skipped Hongshi and chose the fourth elder brother Hongli.

In the later period of Hongshi, he mainly merged with the Eight Masters Party, and Yongzheng hated the Eight Masters Party the most, so he had to choose Hongli as the heir, and the Eight Masters Party's activity energy was too strong, and Yongzheng was afraid that Hongli would not be able to cope with it in the future, so he had to give death to Hongshi.

Yongzheng himself is a thrifty emperor, and Hongli is the complete opposite, from the time he went to the south of the Yangtze River to play after becoming the emperor, and various corruption in the later period, Hongli must have been a typical squanderer of family property when he was the prince, Yongzheng definitely didn't like it.

Emperor Yongzheng is an upright person, he prefers Hongli because Hongli is very serious and is a good seedling, Hongshi only knows how to be greedy for pleasure all day long.

Emperor Yongzheng likes Hongli because Hongli is very serious and hardworking, while Hongshi squanders his life and lives a chaotic life.

Because Hongli's character and talent are similar to Yongzheng's imagination, Hongshi is greedy for pleasure and colludes with the party, and Yongzheng looks down on him.

Hongshi's personality is too absurd, greedy for pleasure all day long, but Hongli is different, he has been smart since he was a child, and his ability is strong.

Kangxi once said to Yongzheng that I will pass the throne to you, and you must pass the throne to Hongli (Qianlong), and Yongzheng agreed.

First, there is some influence of Kangxi, and Kangxi's preference for Qianlong during his lifetime is seen by many people.

Second, because Yongzheng has only three sons who have lived to adulthood, Hongshi's own death is biased towards the old Bayi faction, Hongzhi is young and absurd, and his behavior is absurd, Yongzheng has no choice, at least there was nothing wrong with Qianlong in all aspects at that time.

Third, since Qianlong was crowned Prince Bao at a young age, he can already roughly see Yongzheng's thoughts.

Because Hongli was designated by Kangxi from the next generation, although there was no clear holy decree, hundreds of officials can guess one or two from various signs. In addition, Kangxi's succession to Yongzheng also indirectly wanted to pass on the throne to Hongli. This is a historical rumor!

There is no real evidence, because according to historical records, Qianlong did not meet Kangxi for the first time until he was six years old, and the emperor and grandson whom Kangxi has always loved very much is Hongxi, and has always raised him by his side, while Qianlong has only met Kangxi a few times.

Yongzheng was able to ascend to the throne because of Qianlong.

Hongshi made a mistake and was passed on to the eighth child, and later cut off the clan registration. Hongday's behavior is ridiculous and he doesn't like government politics. And Hongli passed his brother to crown Prince Bao at a young age, rewarded the flesh on behalf of the crown prince, and was a person valued by Kangxi.

Qianlong (1711-1799), the fourth son of Yinzhen. Hongli has been smart since childhood, and he learned at the age of five. It is said that one day in the 60th year of Kangxi, Emperor Kangxi saw his grandson Hongli for the first time in Prince Yong's mansion, which was later in the Lama Palace, when Hongli was ten years old, and he was immediately loved by his grandfather Emperor Kangxi.

Aixin Jueluo Hongli (r. 1735-1795) was the fourth son of Emperor Yongzheng, born in the 50th year of the Kangxi reign (1711). In the first year of Yongzheng (1723), he was secretly appointed as the crown prince, and in the eleventh year, he was named the prince of Heshuobao, and began to participate in the important affairs of the military state. In the thirteenth year of Yongzheng (1735), Emperor Yongzheng died, and Hongli ascended the throne.

In the early morning of August 23 in the thirteenth year of Yongzheng (1735), Emperor Yongzheng died, and the chamberlain took out an edict announcing that Hongli would ascend the throne and change the second year to the first year of Qianlong.

In order to prevent the prince from competing for the crown prince during the Kangxi Dynasty, Yongzheng adopted the system of secretly establishing a prince, that is, the holy decree with the name of the prince was put in a box and hung high behind the Zhengda Guangming plaque, and then taken out and read it when Yongzheng died.

In the first year of Yongzheng, that is, in August 1723, Yongzheng Shu set up a secret decree, established Hongli as the heir, hid it in the brocade box, and placed it in the Qianqing Palace "Zhengda Hail Blind Liang Ming" plaque after the source transport.

Qing Gaozong Aixin Jueluo Hongli, born on September 25, 1711, died on February 7, 1799, the sixth emperor of the Qing Dynasty and the fourth emperor after the capital of Beijing. The era name "Qianlong" means "Heavenly Prosperity". He reigned for 60 years, and after the Zen throne, he continued to train and govern, and actually exercised the supreme power for 63 years and 4 months, making him the emperor who actually held the supreme power of the Shenmeng State for the longest time in Chinese history, and also the longest-lived emperor.
