5 Reasons Why The Qianlong Emperor excluded Yongcheng from The Imperial Heirdom

Concerns About Yongcheng’s Character

Historical records suggest that Yongcheng was considered mediocre in ability and lacked the political astuteness required to be emperor. The Qianlong Emperor was known to value intelligence, self-control, and capability above all in an heir, and he found Yongcheng lacking in these qualities.

The Qianlong Emperor’s Succession Philosophy

Qianlong was strongly influenced by his father, the Yongzheng Emperor, who selected him secretly based on merit. Qianlong did not strictly follow primogeniture and wanted to ensure his successor would maintain the stability and legacy of the Qing dynasty. He was very cautious and observant when it came to evaluating his sons.

Political and Court Dynamics

Although Yongcheng held a prince title (he was made Prince Lü of the First Rank), it seems that:

He was never seriously considered as a primary contender for the throne

He may not have had strong backing among key officials or within the imperial family.

His actions and decisions in court affairs did not distinguish him positively in Qianlong’s eyes.

Preference for the 15th Son, Yongyan (Later Emperor Jiaqing)

The son who ultimately succeeded Qianlong was his 15th son, Yongyan, who became the Jiaqing Emperor. Yongyan was known for his diligence, cautious nature, and modest behavior — qualities Qianlong admired. Despite not being one of the eldest, Yongyan’s personal character and behavior fit Qianlong’s ideal of a ruler.

Avoidance of the Kangxi Problem

The Qianlong Emperor had seen how his grandfather, Kangxi, faced severe succession crises due to conflicts among his sons. Qianlong was determined not to repeat those mistakes. Therefore, he carefully avoided elevating any prince too early or obviously, especially if they showed arrogance or court faction-building behavior — something Yongcheng may have flirted with or failed to avoid.

Conclusion:

Yongcheng was excluded from succession because the Qianlong Emperor did not find him suitable — he likely lacked the intellect, judgment, and temperament that Qianlong believed essential in an heir. His exclusion was consistent with Qianlong’s careful, merit-based approach to selecting a successor.

My family is still staying in half of the church that wasn’t affected by the bombing because there is nowhere else to stay other than tents. They are limited to one small meal a day and one shower a week. They are sleeping on the floors, but no one can sleep since there is bombing everywhere around them. Even when there is no bombing, they can still hear the loud buzzing sound of the military planes above them, which would keep anyone who hears it awake. Along with everything, My grandma has diabetes and osteoporosis, so she can’t walk. She has to take her insulin medication along with many others; however, she has run out of many of her medications.” Am on my knees requesting for donation. Target $450
