Why didn't Daoguang choose Xianfeng, but made Prince Gong a better monarch through politics?

I always feel that the reason why Daoguang chose Xianfeng, that is, Jackson Yee as his successor, is more out of selfishness than for national affairs.

No matter whether it is political talent or physical quality, Yiyi is not as good as Yixin, and Yixin should be the first choice after a hundred years of Daoguang.

However, Daoguang just abandoned Yixin and chose a more timid and mediocre game.

Why?

Because the humiliation of 1840 to 1842 occurred during the Daoguang period.

He opened the curtain of modern history and a century of humiliation.

This is a great shame in the Qing Dynasty, and so is Daoguang.

If he can't find a way to minimize the negative impact of this humiliation on himself, then he will be attacked by historical writers in a hundred years.

But let him take back his lost face, he must be afraid, so he can only make the next emperor make more mistakes than him, and his humiliation is even worse than him.

In this way, most of the scolding will be transferred from him to the next one.

Yixin is one of the most capable sons of Daoguang, and Yixin was quite radical when he was young, in other words, he was enterprising.

Yi Yi is just the opposite of Yi Xin. To put it mildly, calm down. To put it bluntly, Yiyi is actually conservative and has little enterprising spirit.

As far as physical fitness is concerned, Yixin is good at riding and shooting, and he looks ill after a game.

On political ability, Yi Kuang is not only inferior to Daoguang, but also inferior to Yixin.

If Yi Xin is promoted to the throne, his ability and radicalism may make Daoguang feel ashamed, or at least have more backbone than Daoguang.

If Jackson Yee ascended the throne, then with his ability and personality, he can never be better than Daoguang, only worse.

In this way, Daoguang can achieve the purpose of diverting the attention and scolding of future generations. What a wonderful move!

Later, the situation did develop in this direction. After Hou Yi ascended the throne, there were bonfires in the southeast, in Lu Zhi and in the northwest.

Yi Kuang's accession to the throne directly led Cixi to control the Qing Dynasty for nearly half a century.

The bristle that fell on Yi Yi did not stop at Daoguang.

In addition, when Daoguang hesitated between Yixin and Yiyi, he asked Yixin and Yiyi to have a strategy and hunting competition.

As far as strategy is concerned, Yi Yi is no match for Yixin.

When Daoguang asked, she cried and fell to the ground. She changed the subject and said, Dad, I really hope you will live a long and healthy life and serve you forever.

Hunting and hunting are still not as trustworthy.

Yi Xin's riding and shooting skills are far better than Yi Yi, who is ill. The latter knows that she can't match them, so she doesn't start work, only saying that hunting in spring hurts the sky.

When Daoguang heard this, he said, Wow, my dear son, this is what an emperor can say!

Actually, where is this?

Daoguang was emperor for decades. Can't he see that Yi Yi is lying with his eyes open? Of course he can see it.

For Yixin and Yiyi's strategy and riding and shooting, Daoguang knows who is higher and who is lower.

But Daoguang finally chose the game, which shows that Daoguang is playing dumb with understanding, and he is doing it on purpose.

That's why I said that he chose the game more out of selfishness.

Beyond this selfishness, Daoguang chose to play games for the sake of national affairs.

The situation at that time was a great change that had never happened in 3 thousand years.

In such a windy and rainy era, it is actually a matter of caution to choose a person to be the emperor.

If Daoguang chooses CreditEase, which is relatively more capable and enterprising, there will be two diametrically opposite consequences.

Otherwise, Yixin can break a path at the fork of the road in this era, so that their families can sit as emperors for a longer and more stable time.

Otherwise, Yi Xin hit the wall at the fork in the road in this era, and then fell to the ground, which also caused his family, the emperor, to collapse in advance.

If Daoguang chooses a relatively more mediocre and conservative game, there will actually be two situations in the same direction in the end.

Otherwise, the Qing Dynasty directly ended the country's rule for more than 200 years because of Yi Yin's cowardice.

Otherwise, because of Yi Yin's timidity and conservatism, the Qing Dynasty gave enough benefits to outsiders, and then continued to linger.

For Daoguang, CreditEase's choices are good and bad, either rising again or falling down quickly.

However, if he chooses Yi Yi, in fact, compared with choosing Yixin, there are only disadvantages and no benefits. It's just that the consequences of falling are just a delay in time.

In fact, I think if Daoguang were a person with more courage and less selfishness, most people would choose CreditEase.

After all, only Yixin can bring greater possibilities, and the outcome of choosing Yiyi was doomed from the moment he was chosen.

After all, Daoguang is too selfish. His vision, pattern, ability and courage are all below the passing line, so he will choose Yi Yi.
