Who is the Duke of Hongzhou in Yan Xi Palace Biography in history? What kind of person is he?

In the TV series The Story of Yan Xi Palace, there is a minor character, Duke Hongzhou, who is the younger brother of Emperor Qianlong. Although he is a younger brother, he is a monarch and a minister first. He is the younger brother of the emperor who has been an official in the DPRK, and he is also a courtier in the face of the emperor. This Hongzhou Lord is also a real person in history. His name is Hongzhou. So, what kind of image is this monarch in history? What did Hiroshi do in history?

Hong Zhou, the younger brother of Li Hong (Emperor Qianlong), was born in the fifty-first year of Kangxi (17 12), younger 1 year than Li Hong who was born in the fifty-first year of Kangxi (171). It is said that Yong Zhengdi wavered between him and Li Hong when choosing his successor. According to Tongcheng Yao Yongpu's Essays on Old News:

Sejong acceded to the throne, did not inherit the law, and hid the title in the golden chamber. Gu Zhong loved his fifth son and Prince Hongzhou, while the fourth son Emperor Gaozong was surprised by the Holy Father. He tasted the prophecy that "this person will be more blessed than me in the future" and hesitated.

So, two reeds, a decree, a pearl and ten pearls were given to two sons, so that they could only accept them at will. The prince took the pearl and the emperor sealed it. Sighed: "Oh, my God!" Therefore, Emperor Gaozong was secretly designated as the heir. That is to say, Yong Zhengdi once gave Li Hong and Hongzhou the choice of a decree and ten pearls. Hongzhou chose the Buddha beads, and Li Hong chose the jade seal. Because Yuyin gained power, Yong Zhengdi thought it was an act of God, so he decided that Li Hong was the object of secret storage.

"Essays on Old News" tells the story of celebrities in the south of the Yangtze River, which is more reliable. Telling the secret story of the palace is somewhat hearsay. How Yong Zhengdi behaves as a person is a matter of different opinions, but no matter who makes positive or negative comments on him, his decisive and thoughtful behavior is basically recognized. It is hard to imagine that the heir to the throne will do such a thing in such a way as "grasping the week". In addition, Yong Zhengdi secretly set up a shop in the first year of Yongzheng (1723). Although no specific candidate was specified, 2008 1 1 month 13 was the anniversary of the death of Emperor Kangxi. Yong Zhengdi sent Li Hong, who was only 13 years old, to pay homage to Emperor Kangxi in Jingling generation, which undoubtedly implied that the future emperor would sacrifice to the emperor who rose to a distant place in order to tell Emperor Kangxi that he was in heaven.

(lishixinzhi.com in history) However, the symbolic meaning of this story is very consistent with the relationship between Li Hong and Hongzhou. I chose the imperial seal, so I named it Prince Bao, which means that Dabao will get something in return. Hongzhou chose pearls, so I named it Prince He. Similar to the title of Prince Yixin Gong in the future, the implication is that brothers, friends and brothers hope to respect each other and live in harmony. Later, Emperor Qianlong made more than 1800 seals in his life, which were commonly used.

After Qianlong acceded to the throne, "Xian Di gave all the former site of Yongfu, so the king was very rich" (the Qing court draft said that it was luxurious in nature, and Sejong gave him the former site of Yongfu, so he was richer than other kings), that is to say, he gave all the property when he was Prince Yong to Hongzhou, which is the so-called "separation of state affairs and family affairs".

When he lived in San Francisco as Prince Yong, he was thrifty, strict in family rules, more proud of his career outside the door, and often showed filial piety. Private wealth is indeed considerable.

Of course, you are the son of heaven and naturally rich all over the world. Although Hongzhou is "rich" and "Amar's private wealth can be spent casually", in the final analysis, he still has money, and Hongzhou may not feel comfortable. Some people think that there is a good funeral because Hongzhou is resentful and unfair. Specifically, Hongzhou keeps saying, "People will not die for a hundred years, so why avoid it?" He once made a funeral document himself and sat in the court, letting the court mourn himself as a dead man. However, he took pleasure in drinking and eating meat seriously (offering sacrifices), and put all kinds of rockery plates and jars as funerary objects on his chair and bedside.

Mr. Levin, a historical novelist, has a view that the biggest misfortune of Hongzhou's move is the loss of the throne, and I am already the most unlucky, so there is nothing to be taboo about dying. Of course, this is only a speculation about the psychology of historical figures, and it is not 100% reliable. On the other hand, it is natural for Hongzhou to hide his strength and protect himself by being ridiculous.

Of course, the absurdity of Hongzhou is different from the absurdity of the characters in Biography of Yan Xi Palace. After all, TV plays are romantic. Emperor Qianlong's attitude towards Hongzhou is basically the attitude of the eldest son of a rich family towards the spoiled youngest son. There is a lesson of supervision and responsibility, but it is generally tolerant. This is also the lesson he learned from his parents' killing each other in Kowloon.
