When mentioning Emperor Qianlong, most people immediately imagine the image of a wise emperor in Chinese history. The story of King Qianlong's "harem" is also a topic that often receives attention.

Talking about filial emperors in Chinese feudal history, it is impossible not to mention Qianlong. Queen Mother Sung Khanh, concubine of Emperor Thanh The Tong Ung Chinh, and mother of Emperor Thanh Cao Tong Qianlong. She was the Queen Mother who spent a long time in office, and was also the longest-lived of the Queen Mothers of the Qing Dynasty, with a lifespan of up to 86 years old.

Not only compared to the scope of the Qing Dynasty, but compared to Hieu Nguyen, Queen Vuong Chinh Quan of the Western Han Dynasty was also much better. She had a supreme position and had many descendants. Emperor Qianlong did not spare any glory to serve Queen Mother Sung Khanh. In comparison, she is the Queen Mother who enjoys all the glory and wealth, which is truly rare.

According to many historical records, Qianlong listened to his mother very much. A few years after ascending the throne, at this time the court was not stable, the treasury was not enough, every day Qian Long lived frugally, but when celebrating his mother's birthday, he always held grand birthday parties.

Once, in order to please his mother, Hoang Lich (also known as Emperor Qianlong) sent someone to find many old people and asked them to knee.l and worship his mother on the way back to the palace, wishing her a long life. Some people may think that he acted cruelly, but that was not the case, because the Emperor rewarded these old people with a lot of silver, so everyone was eager to participate.

Not only did he find old people to bless his mother, Hoang Lich also prepared a very sumptuous birthday party to invite officials to attend. The food prepared at the party was all rare delicacies from all over the world. In different parts of the country, musical performances are also very exciting. From here we can see how filial Hoang Lich is to his mother.

Qianlong is also known as the most "playful" king of the Qing Dynasty. It can be said: "In terms of luxury, if Qianlong ranks second, then among the kings of the Qing Dynasty, no one would dare to rank first." He often held banquets in the palace, and often went out of the Forbidden City to find fun in places with singers.

Qianlong loved the scenery of Jiangnan and in his entire life he carried out 6 major southern patrols with a huge budget. Even when he goes out to play, he often worries about his mother. To avoid her feeling lonely in the palace, each time he tried to persuade her to come with him, until ag.e no longer allowed him to travel long distances. As an Emperor, he did not use his position to force his mother to cower before him. He was always very generous with her requests, giving everything with both hand.s.

But although he is very filial and fully meets his mother's material needs, there is one thing that Qianlong will never give to his mother, which is power.

At this point, perhaps you will wonder that the Queen Mother is a woman, of course she cannot hold power while the Emperor is present before her eyes. However, you cannot deny that in Chinese history there are many Empresses and Queen Mothers who govern, participate in the court, control the courtiers, and even control the Emperor.

Accordingly, if Qianlong loved and pampered his mother, just one word could help the Queen Mother have a lot of power in her hand.s, take care of the harem, and participate in court affairs.

When Qianlong first ascended the throne, he issued an edict, basically saying that he had a very good relationship with his mother, but in terms of state affairs, he would still focus on state affairs and would not delay important matters. important for mother. If someone says something that shouldn't be said, spreads gossip in front of the mother, or wants to sow discord between mother and chil.d, they will definitely be punished. At first glance, this decree seems to be an order issued by him to rectify his subordinates, but in fact it contains Qianlong's hope for his mother, that she can live peacefully and not try to attempt to interfere in politics or challenge the emperor's limits. Even though her words had reached this point, the Queen Mother still unintentionally made a mistake.

A story recorded by many (unrecognized) historical documents is as follows:

One time, while mother and daughter were chatting, the Queen Mother casually mentioned that there was a shrine that looked rundown and hoped the Emperor could find time to repair it. After listening, the Emperor did not say anything on the surface, but then turned to reprimand the Queen Mother's servants, saying that in the past no Queen Mother had ever taken care of the construction and repair of pagodas and temples, but now she let the Queen Mother do it. I'm worried about this.

This sentence sounds like scolding the eunuchs, but in fact it is implicitly telling the Queen Mother not to care too much about things. The Queen Mother has been in the harem for so many years, of course she understands the Emperor's intentions, perhaps from that point on, she no longer interferes in matters that are not hers, even the smallest.

Although Qianlong's approach seems a bit excessive, it is just a reluctance to be born into a royal family. As Emperor, he must always hold power in his hand.s. Thanks to Qianlong's wisdom, the country under his rule was very stable and peaceful, contributing to the famous period of Khang Qian's prosperity in Chinese history.
