When Emperor Qianlong abdicated, he refused to hand over the imperial seal. Emperor Jiaqing was embarrassed. How did the minister solve it in five words?

The minister said, "Help the new emperor to ascend to the throne" made Qianlong realize that he had forgotten to give the imperial seal to his son, so he reacted to ease the embarrassment. In ancient times, the emperor, as the ruler of the world, had wealth and power, so many people longed for quotas. Even the wise Qianlong didn't sit on the throne enough, and he made a joke in his later years.

As Kangxi's favorite grandson, Qianlong, the best son of Yongzheng, succeeded to the throne very smoothly. And because Kangxi and Yongzheng had laid a solid foundation for the Qing Dynasty, Qianlong's position was very stable. So that while enjoying the emperor's comfort, Qianlong became one of the longest emperors in history. Then Qianlong became the emperor's father in his later years and still refused to delegate.

The throne is indeed full of temptations, even if Qianlong has been in power for more than 60 years, he is not tired. Therefore, although in his later years, Gan Long was blind and delirious, he still wanted to take power. However, although Gan Long didn't want to abdicate, his body wouldn't allow it. After all, many things are powerless when people are old, so Gan Long has to admit that he is old. After some thinking and struggle, Gan Long finally decided to let his son inherit the throne and become the emperor's father himself.

So, Yan Yong, the son of Qianlong, succeeded him to the throne, but on the day of the enthronement ceremony, Qianlong forgot to give Yan Yong the imperial seal. In ancient times, the imperial seal was a symbol of the emperor. Only with the imperial seal can we prove the identity of the emperor. So at that time, Qianlong didn't give the decree, and the scene was embarrassing, and Yan Yong was at a loss. At this moment, a courtier shouted, "Please help the new emperor to ascend the throne", and Gan Long reacted and handed over the imperial seal. However, despite the decree, Ganlong actually holds the power. It was not until Qianlong completely decentralized that Emperor Jiaqing came to power.
