Qianlong's father Yongzheng was even more hard working. He usually worked until midnight everyday and woke up at 4am, 7 days a week. Many historians believed that he died of exhaustion.
he is my favorite emperor
His schedule is in line with (near) contemporary peers such as Frederick the Great, Napoleon, HRE Emperor Joseph II and King of Sweden and Norway Carl XIV Johan. They woke up early, worked and began the morning meetings at around 5:00 AM. Though, Napoleon and Carl later began dispensing with the whole getting dressed thing and often received their morning briefing while still in bed, whilst working on paperwork with a portable writing box propped on their knees. Frederick never bothered with hearing Ministers' opinions and merely began his paperwork at 4:00 AM while in his dressing gown, with only his dogs as company. Austrian Emperor Franz Josef, though he reigned about 100 years after Qianlong, had a similiar schedule. He woke up around 3-4:00 AM, quickly dressed and used toiletries, and was in his study by 4:30-5:00 AM studying the morning's paperwork, and receiving reports from his chief aides. He would then often oversea the guard change. In his younger days he might join his guard unit's morning exercise. He would then be available to ministers at 7:00 AM through lunch. He had a full day and went to bed around 10:00 PM and was back up at 3:00 AM. He did this routine until the last day of his life. Though deathly ill from pneumonia, which he developed after walking in the cold rain with the King of Bavaria a few days prior , he woke up at 3:00 AM, got up, and went to his papers. He skipped the morning court session, but took reports from his ministers and took only a light lunch. That afternoon he was in his study grappling with more paperwork when he fainted. He was put in bed, and in the early evening, after a last glass of champagne he died.
Well it’s also the reason why the
Qing Dynasty was at the height of its Power And Glory And Wealth during the reign of Emperor Qianlong. The discipline and dedication this man showed to his country is what made him a outstanding Leader.
He has only 1 hour to “fulfil his heavenly duty” from 7pm to 8pm.
'Heavenly duty' involves serving his country, dumb-dumb! Not having sex!!
If the Emperor and ministers had to wake early, their servants woke earlier
they each had a perod schedule and assign....so they can exchange each other..
Am sure in winter, Emperor had small coal heaters near them, and so did the empress and concubines. Not to mention candles. So the rooms (office and sleep quarters) would be warmer than outside.
Servants have scheduled shifts
Choosing which concubine to spend the evening with. Now, that's a heavy task.
They all look alike. 5/10.
In other vids it was the emperors mum chooses who spends night with emperor.. maybe depending on era 😳🙄🤔🤷♂️
Don't lied, they used coal or charcoal for heating - afterall he is emperor of china
most hardworking and diligent was qianlong father yongzheng
Beyond the monotony, Qian Long's disciplined daily routine and strict diet contributed to his longevity and empire greatness during the early and middle phases of his reign.
Under his rule, imperial China reached its zenith in terms of geographical expansiveness, cultural and literary/artistic achievements.
However, his mindset also initiated the decline of Qing imperial rule that led to China's century of foreign humiliation.
Contented with economic self-sufficiency, he refuted Britain's offer for trade and
didn't capitalize on the opportunities to adapt Western technology to develop China's economy and military.
Qianlong's opulent and lavish lifestyle, which set a bad example for aristocracy,
expensive tours to Jiangnan,
and heavy price in quelling rebellions and failed military campaigns
drained the nation's coffers and weakened fiscal health.
His pampering of corrupt officials (like He Shen) also contributed to imperial China's decline.
Qianlong wrote a self-confession listing his failings towards the end of his life.
His successors suffered from the consequences of his failings,
Subsequent generations of Chinese and
now the rest of the world are affected by China's century of foreign humiliation.
They (Kangxi, Yongzhen, Qianlong) might have been more hard working than the late era Ming emperors in comparison.
Why did the palace have no heating? No fires? Seems odd for the modern era as we know palaces even thousands of years ago had heating.
Of course they have heating. It's the imperial court we're talking about here. The narrator is clearly mistaken.
@@willylao5430yes the narrator is very mistaken. The emperor’s living quarters were in the same hall as the court and his office and they had central heating under the floors as well as charcoal burners. Qianlong had a favoured room to work from where his favourite art pieces hung and he was an avid collector of priceless art. He didn’t work every day like this either. He was known for his travels incognito and affairs outside the palace.
That is too heavy a workload. 😂
The sentence: "in feudal society the emperor held the highest position" is an oxymoron
He didnt freeze. Lmao. People back then kept warm with coal and wood.
Work smarter, not harder. He sounds like a micromanager and has serious trust issues. Delegation would have made his life much more enjoyable.
And did he really stand in the cold to get dressed? You are telling me an emperor did not have the money or people to preheat a room for his morning ritual?
I thought Kangxi was the best? He ruled the longest, correct?
Indeed the longest
But Qianlong retire early as emperor. His Son took over
Because he do not want to rule longer than Kangxi
He have great respect for his grandfather
The wiseman: "It's not how hard you work. It how you used time wisely." It's appeared that the Europeans abled to changed with times. The old Confucius system did not.
What an awesome man
And they have clocks on that age impressive
Wasn't Yongzheng was the most diligent Qing Emperor?
his eunuch surely more diligent than him
wakes up earlier
sleep later
Makes you wonder how many emperors were poisoned.
Compare his schedule with the schedule of your average peasant at the time and you will find the peasant worked harder.
Compare it to an average working person, many who work two jobs and live out of their cars.
NOT IMPRESSED WITH THIS GUY...
He is son of god
Others are not
Thats racist
i am almost sure you don’t understand the meaning of the word racist.
