Since ancient times, as long as the family has a little property, it is not for power, or for money, or for pleasure, or for poetry and songs.
What are the princes of the Qing Dynasty busy doing?
If you want to get more rights, it is unrealistic, after all, China is a feudal dynasty that destroyed the Ming Dynasty, and from this point, many things can be seen.
It is much more difficult to capture a country than to defend it.
In the past, when there was a war, everyone was the same enemy, but now that the crisis has been lifted and everyone is living a good life, it is natural that they have become greedy.
As the king of a country, he must not only beware of foreign enemies, but also beware of whether his imperial brother will rebel.
Especially in the Ming Dynasty, the emperor was generally succeeded by the eldest son, but unfortunately Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest son Zhu Biao died young, so the throne was inherited by the young grandson Zhu Yunwen.
When the emperor was still very young, his uncle and his nephew began a struggle for the throne.
1. There is nothing to do, nothing to do, no work, no freedom.
The emperor of the Qing Dynasty, in order to prevent his younger brother from usurping the throne, held the power firmly in his own hands, and strictly guarded those princes.
What does that mean?
Without the emperor's consent, the kings were not allowed to leave the Forbidden City, and they were greatly restricted; Without the will of the emperor, no prince can be in a high position, and even if he is in a high position, his power is limited; Any prince, without the permission of the emperor, can only bring a maximum of 36 people, otherwise he will be executed.
What's more, even if some princes guard the border passes, it is not easy to return to the capital, and if these guards are sent back, it will be troublesome. This is also the reason why those powerful princes have no wealth and freedom, and those princes, although they have money, do not have any power and power, but they must always be on guard against the emperor.
Although they have no power, they are doing well.
He is now a **dignitary, in addition to the annual salary, there are also some ** allowances, just like a salary, although he has not made any contribution to the empire, he has to come up with something. It would be even better if it could be favored by the old lady of the family, and as for money, not to mention.
It is true that they are not free, but they are much better off than the poor, because ordinary people simply do not have time to go anywhere else in order to survive.
Living a life of fine clothes and food, he was respected, and in that era, even a person named Aixin Jueluo did not dare to call him by his name, which was really lucky.
The princes relied on the protection of the Qing Dynasty to live a comfortable life, and no one wanted to pursue a higher realm. Not to mention usurping the throne, even if they are asked to do an official job, it will give them a headache.
Second, chasing money, buying officials, and accepting bribes.
Of course, they don't sit idle, they travel around collecting treasures. What they like the most is comparison.
Without power, without status, without status, the money taken out by the government is simply not enough, so they will start with civilians, and even sell power.
He won't know anything, he will only buy **, cheat, cheat.
While "honoring" the prince, Li Hongzhang also gave him an envelope containing 40,000 taels of silver, which was already a lot of income for the Qing Dynasty. This kind of blatant official power is generally not managed, after all, they have no real power.
Although the Qing Dynasty made them lose their desire to fight for power and profit, it cultivated a group of ungrateful people, and in their minds, there was no concept of a country and a nation at all.
When disaster struck, the country's finances were emptied, and help was urgently needed, everyone showed great enthusiasm and couldn't wait to serve the country. But that's the case, they are still **, this is the decay of the Qing Dynasty.
But there are also a few princes, they don't care about this, they only care about whether they can live well. So every day she would go to Lafayette's dormitory to greet her, have dinner, talk, and then go back to her room and invite some troupes to perform on stage, and the rest of the time, she would do her own thing.
3. Spend heaven and wine, spend day and drink earth, corrupt and degenerate.
Therefore, after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, many princes, even princes, were powerless. On the contrary, she is used to living a life of fine clothes and fine food, which makes her a little unaccustomed.
Although they inherited the wealth of their ancestors, they did not take care of the family business at all, and they were addicted to drugs, and lost all their life savings.
The princes who used to be infinitely beautiful, but because of the decline of the times, they did not dare to move forward, leaving countless laughing stocks, some sold their family wealth, some sold their ancestral tombs, and some people lived the life of white-faced women.
However, this amount of money is not enough for them to eat, drink, and cheat, so it didn't take long for them to become poor, but there are also some people who make money on their own and drive rickshaws for a living.
Fourth, go to Europe for further study and show the spirit of the Chinese.
However, among those princes, there are also some people who are more upright, they know that their origins can provide a lot of resources, but they still have their own ambitions, they have gone to France to study when they were young, although they did not get any property after returning to China, but they can also live a very prosperous life.
However, this Zaitao prince actually has no feelings for the Qing Dynasty, others are thinking about reviving the Qing Dynasty, he has long given up, and he doesn't even have the opportunity to see Pu Yi.
In his opinion, the Qing Dynasty was rotten to the extreme, and it was impossible to rebuild it. Besides, even if it were established, the people would be exploited, and there was no need for that.
And he is also one of the few princes in the Qing Dynasty who knows the general situation and the general situation.
