There are many rumors among the people that the death of Emperor Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty had a lot to do with lightning, and it was even later passed down as:? Emperor Jiaqing was killed by lightning. ? For such rumors, many people believe that emperors really died of lightning in history. In fact, this statement is a folk rumor, and it is out-and-out unofficial history.
Emperor Jiaqing
Renzong of the Qing Dynasty was born in/kloc-0 in the early 1960s and died in/kloc-0 in the early 1920s. He lived a total of 60 years. He was the seventh emperor of the Qing Dynasty, who had fifteen sons and reigned for 25 years. Because Emperor Qianlong lived for a long time, Emperor Jiaqing became a prince for a long time. Even after Emperor Qianlong handed his position to Jiaqing, he still firmly controlled the power. In this way, Emperor Jiaqing was an ultra vires emperor for four years, and it was not until the death of Emperor Qianlong that Emperor Jiaqing really took power.
After Jiaqing proclaimed himself emperor, he wanted to make some achievements, so he decided to punish the court corruption when he really mastered power. In order to set an example for Emperor Jiajing, the first move was to dominate Qianlong once. What was it called? Big corrupt official? Small Shenyang. In this rectification movement, although the big corrupt officials were punished, the anti-corruption efforts of Emperor Jiaqing were limited because of some things and in order to safeguard the regime he had just taken over. Therefore, in this anti-corruption action, it only played a role in cracking down on the small Shenyang Group, but did not substantially crack down on the corruption of the imperial court. So, what about the Jiaqing period? Anti-corruption action? It doesn't have much effect, but it just plays the role of centralized, establishes political achievements and gives important positions to the court? Metabolism? The role of.
In the later period of his rule, because there was no strong reform, and other countries in the world were carrying out industrial revolutions, the Qing Dynasty could not just look at the past? From prosperity to decline? Compared with the world, it is far behind. It was this backwardness that caused great trouble to the rule of later Qing emperors such as Daoguang and Xianfeng.
Compilation of Death Causes of Emperor Jiaqing in Qing Dynasty
Because it is unknown, I will guess at random, and so will the cause of death of Emperor Jiaqing.
I have compiled all kinds of collection and analysis on the cause of death of Emperor Jiaqing, as follows:
First, the bedroom was struck by lightning.
There was no air conditioning in ancient times, and the emperor naturally had his own way to face the heat. In the Qing Dynasty, the ancient emperors liked to go to chengde mountain resort, Hebei Province for the summer in hot summer. It was a summer, because the temperature was dry and hot, Emperor Jiaqing came to the summer resort again. After coming here for a period of time, because the temperature difference between hot and cold was too large, the emperor contracted wind-cold disease. After careful conditioning by the doctor, the emperor recovered quickly. Because it is summer, the weather is good and bad. One day, a strong wind blew around chengde mountain resort, and there was lightning and thunder. A flash of lightning struck the bedroom of Emperor Jiaqing, causing the emperor to be hacked to death.
Analysis: In fact, this statement is untenable, because the Qing Dynasty in Jiaqing period was very close to modern China, and architects in Ming and Qing Dynasties had mastered the lightning protection technology of some houses, so it was impossible for lightning to break into the emperor's bedroom.
Second, hunting was struck by lightning.
This rumor happened in chengde mountain resort? Mulan paddock? . Because the Qing emperor was Manchu and was a nation on horseback, these Manchu people liked riding and shooting quite much. On this day, Emperor Jiaqing will leave? Mulan paddock? Hunting, but there were no wild animals in the forest that day, so the emperor went home very disappointed. On the way back, the sky thundered and thundered, and finally he killed Emperor Jiaqing.
Analysis: First of all, we all know a common sense, that is, when lightning comes, it will cut down tall buildings on land. At that time, the emperor was in the dense forest, and there were trees taller than him everywhere. There was no reason to cut him down. And judging from the context of this story, the emperor was just killed at that time, but you should know that the emperor is not an ordinary person. He is the king and son of heaven of a country. No matter what he does, there must be a large group of people following him, except sleeping and solving physical problems. If Emperor Jiaqing was really killed by lightning in full view, it would be recorded by later Qing historians, and it is impossible to record Jiaqing.
Third, he had a tryst with a male eunuch in the bedroom and was killed by lightning.
According to this folk saying, Emperor Jiaqing was not only a good woman, but also a very good man. In order to meet this demand, he chose a handsome young eunuch among many eunuchs. One day, Emperor Jiaqing was having a tryst with his favorite handsome eunuch, but just then a flash of lightning pierced the sky, and a burning fireball flew into the building and exploded on General Jiaqing, killing Emperor Jiaqing.
Analysis: This statement not only adds vulgar elements, but also adds mythical elements, and its credibility is almost zero.
