He Prince Hong Zhou is said to be an absurd prince with a very unique personality. What most people talk about is that he holds funerals for himself while he is still alive.

The prince has a good reason: How can there be a person who is immortal for a hundred years? Why are you so taboo about death?

As a result, the prince personally arranged his funeral arrangements and directly conducted rehearsals. I was sitting on the altar table, with the coffin parked in front of me. The "filial sons and virtuous grandsons" laid out the sacrifices in a decent manner, dressed in mourning clothes. They all cried loudly, turning their backs but snickering. Why? Because it was extremely ridiculous to see the "dead" prince holding bowls and chopsticks and feasting on the delicacies that were offered to him.

Speaking of this, Hong Zhou can be regarded as the son that Emperor Yongzheng loves very much. He is not only smart, but also talented. It's just that he was not as lucky as Hongli. He was appreciated and personally educated by his grandfather, Emperor Kangxi, and was early designated as the successor of the Qing Dynasty. Qianlong's ascension to the throne was too smooth compared to his father Yongzheng. Not only was it smoother than Yongzheng, it was much better than Kangxi, Shunzhi before Kangxi, and Huang Taiji before Shunzhi. Hong Zhou is inferior to Hong Li in terms of status, intelligence, and age, so he has already had a clear understanding of his identity and destiny. This may be the most important reason for Hong Zhou's absurdity.

During the reign of Qianlong, the feudal monarchy can be said to have reached its peak. Qianlong ascended the throne at the age of 25 and regarded the power in his hands as taboo, and no one was allowed to touch it, not even himself. biological mother. Once, the Queen Mother talked to Qianlong about repairing a temple. Qianlong agreed on the surface, but later severely criticized the eunuchs around the Queen Mother. In fact, he warned the Queen Mother not to interfere in politics.

Qianlong was very concerned about future generations' evaluation of himself. He strived to do his best in everything. As an elder brother, he was still very friendly to Hong Zhou and gave his father valuables hidden in his mansion. The treasures were all left to Hong Zhou. Hongzhou relied on his strong family background to live a comfortable life. However, crises are inevitable between brothers.

During a palace examination, Hong Zhou was the invigilator, and Qianlong also came to the examination room and never left. When it was time to eat, Hong Zhou asked the emperor to leave first and rest. Qianlong did not agree. Hong Zhou was angry and said directly in the same tone he used to Hong Li before: "Don't you trust me and suspect that I cheated with the candidates?" The words were quite serious. After hearing this, Qianlong turned and left without saying a word. The next day, Hong Zhou himself figured it out and went to the palace to apologize to the emperor. What he didn't expect was that Qianlong made a very serious statement: "If I had said something in the conversation between you and me yesterday, I'm afraid you would immediately It will turn into powder."

Hongzhou finally realized that his careless words yesterday had led to such consequences.
