Why was Emperor Qing always so cruel to the second prince when he was still in his prime years?

The emperor puts the governance of the country first in everything, with the queen and father first. After all, our Emperor Qing may not be a good person, but he must be a good emperor. What Emperor Qing adopted was to establish the crown prince's direct descendant and train him appropriately. It was to "test the crown prince". Since it was a test, there was a possibility that he would fail, so the second prince had the idea of ??seizing the heir. And the appropriate pressure from the second prince is conducive to the prince's growth. The premise is "appropriate". If the second prince affected Emperor Qing's plan to establish a heir apparent, he would of course be suppressed. Jumping too high will kill him.

The second prince’s maternal family is Concubine Shu. Concubine Shu likes to read books. In just a few scenes, a woman’s love for books is vividly described. At that time, Fan Xian went to see the concubine in the palace to see her mother's family. When she arrived at Concubine Shu, she had forgotten that there were two people there. One of them was reading with gusto, completely immersed in the book. When she finished reading, she looked up and said, Hey, why haven't you left yet... You haven't left... It can be seen that Concubine Shu is deaf to what is going on outside the window and only reads the books of sages. For the second prince, No help at all. The second prince is somewhat similar to his mother and concubine. He likes to read and wants to live a leisurely life. However, he was born in the royal family and cannot do whatever he wants. The prince can't stand him and tries every means to suppress him. Whether the emperor intends it or not He gave him some rights and made him think that he really had the potential to become a prince, so he fought hard with the prince.

The second prince never thought that his father would use such vicious methods to deal with people. At the age of three, he was sent to study in the Imperial Study Room. At the age of five, he was allowed to listen to government affairs in front of the palace. The treatment is comparable to that of the prince. Emperor Qing sincerely wanted to strengthen his ambition and make him a victim of the crown prince's succession. The life of the second prince, behind the seemingly beautiful scenery, was actually very painful in his heart. He had been swinging between a leisurely life and competing for the position of heir apparent. Maybe he knew from the beginning that he was a stepping stone, but he was unwilling to accept it. Why did you give me the right? Why does the prince, who is so mediocre, become the prince in your heart? The second prince is the worst. He has not been recognized throughout his life and has become a joke.

Emperor Qing can be said to have a deep city and all the institutions. His sons are just pawns in his hands. Emperor Qing plays with their lives and makes them fight with each other before choosing him. He thought that the person most likely to succeed him had never thought about their feelings. As a father, it was really cruel to treat his son like this. Emperor Qing was only using his sons, but he still thought about doing something for him. So, it's a pity that it's just a big mistake. No one wants to have someone's life controlled all the time, and no one wants to believe that they have been being used by others. The second prince rebelled in order to fight for the throne, but was betrayed by his father-in-law's side, the Ye family. After all, the second prince was no match for Emperor Qing. No matter how he planned, he could not escape the clutches of Emperor Qing. Emperor Qing originally wanted to spare the life of the second prince, but how could a proud and dignified man like the second prince accept such charity from Emperor Qing. The second prince knew that he could not get rid of Emperor Qing no matter what, so he committed suicide in despair.
