Some people say that the reason for the demise of the Qing Dynasty was that Daoguang made a mistake in choosing his successor at that time. In fact, I deny this statement, because from a more objective point of view, the demise of a dynasty cannot be due to one or two reasons, but to a series of situations and a series of connections. However, it is worthy of recognition that Emperor Xianfeng's accession to the throne was the fuse for the decline of the late Qing court. After all, Emperor Xianfeng's accession to the throne created the later period? Right back? The expansion of imperial power and the expansion of post-imperial power gradually opposed imperial power. If there is opposition, there will be struggle, and if there is struggle, there will be no better and more wholeheartedly development. It was this embarrassing situation that kept the Manchu court on the track of history at that time, even though Britain and France had surpassed a lot at that time, even though Japan, which we had always looked down upon at that time, was about to surpass it.

Choice of Daoguang

On the issue of choosing the heir to the throne, Daoguang has actually been hesitant. One is an older fourth brother, and the other is a younger sixth brother. As far as their ages are concerned, although the May 4th Movement is several years older than the May 6th Movement, it lags far behind the May 6th Movement in terms of ability and wisdom, riding and shooting, reading and eloquence. It is said that at that time, the officials of the imperial court thought that Liu Sige was the heir, but later he chose Liu Sige, who was excellent in all aspects, but with average qualifications.

Mei's superior position actually has a lot to do with the teacher's good teaching. After all, Du Shoutian never let May down. It is said that two things changed Daoguang's mind. One is that Emperor Daoguang went hunting with May 4th and May 6th in spring. Because the May 4th Movement was weak and sickly from childhood, the hunting technique was far behind the May 6th Movement. But in order to alleviate this embarrassing situation, his teacher said to the May 4th Movement. Don't hurt animals when hunting. ?

It is precisely because of this that when Brother Liu returned to Daoguang with trophies, the empty-handed Fourth Brother was in sharp contrast with him. Daoguang asked him why he got nothing, and the fourth brother knelt on the grass and said, Spring is coming, and it is the time to be full of vitality and show national strength. I don't want to compete with your brothers in this matter. ? It is this that makes Daoguang Emperor feel that this prince has the demeanor of an emperor.

The second thing is that when Daoguang Emperor was dying, he was in May 4th and May 6th. Before going, the teacher of the May 4th Movement told him to cry, so the May 4th Movement has been brewing its own emotions. Seeing his younger brother in tears and sobbing at his father, May 6th seemed at a loss, which made the May 4th movement score points and was praised as filial piety by Daoguang Emperor.

If you pass it to Brother Liu,

Going downhill in the late Qing dynasty, seemingly? Right back? And then what? Imperial power? In contrast, Cixi monopolized all kinds of power. Be a demon? . All this was caused by the short-lived Emperor Xianfeng at that time. If Emperor Xianfeng had not died early, the post-Party would not have risen, nor would it have always influenced and dominated the Qing regime, leading to the stagnation of the Qing Dynasty.

It seems so, but it is not. We need to know why Cixi is in the upper position and why the world of Ai Xinjue Roche is in the hands of a woman in Ye. In fact, in the final analysis, Cixi represents the interests of the whole Manchu nobility, so all measures of Cixi can only be implemented after safeguarding the interests of the Manchu nobility, otherwise it will be abandoned in minutes and then a new spokesperson will be established.

If the cinnamon willow is changed, the result will not change much. The late Qing Dynasty was a once-in-a-lifetime change, and it was impossible to turn the tide on one's own. If Prince Gong has enough iron fist and real power to carry out iron reform, he may still be able to make the Qing dynasty rule linger for a while, but it will eventually come to an end and all roads lead to the same goal. But in my opinion, Gui Ziliu's political talent is far less than that of Cixi. Otherwise, she would not be expelled from the power center by Cixi in the case of winning the deliberation king in a coup.
