The Qing Dynasty had the longest-lived emperor in China, Emperor Qianlong, the son of Yongzheng, who died at the age of 89. Unlike his son, who is good at keeping in good health and living a long life, Yong Zhengdi lived only 57 years old.
As for why his son didn't live long, some people say that Yongzheng was too diligent, while others say that Yongzheng believed in Taoism and lived forever, so he took many pills.
However, although Yongzheng didn't live long, he had a concubine with a very long life. In terms of life span, Qianlong can't compare with her because she lived to 95 years old.
The longest-lived concubine in Yongzheng was Geng Shi, a pure imperial concubine. Gengshi came from a middle-level official family, and his father was Gengdejin, the general manager of internal management.
Gengshi was born in the 28th year of Kangxi. In the forty-second year of Kangxi, she entered Yin Zhen House as a concubine. According to historical records, GengShi was born strong and handsome, so he was favored by Yong Zhengdi.
In the fifty-first year of Kangxi, Geng Shi gave birth to the fifth son Hongzhou for Yin Zhen. Since then, he has been favored by Yin Zhen. And this child is the murderer who raped Wei's sister in The Story of Yan Xi Palace.
Gengshi's mother and son were favored by Yongzheng, and in the Qianlong dynasty, they were also favored by Qianlong emperor.
After Yongzheng proclaimed himself emperor, Geng Shi became a concubine in the eighth year of Yongzheng. It is said that Yongzheng was not pampered like his son Gan Long, nor did he have many hobbies. He is more focused on dealing with political affairs.
He spends more time visiting gardens in his spare time when dealing with political affairs. Besides, just a drink or two.
Gengshi can drink well and his temper is not so tortuous. So I can often have two drinks with Yongzheng, and Yongzheng likes her very much.
Hongzhou, the son of Geng Shi, was deeply loved by Yongzheng because of his intelligence since childhood. In the eleventh year of Yongzheng, Hongzhou was named Prince of Peace.
Hongzhou is a famous absurd emperor in history, but he is loved by Qianlong. He used to publicly beat the court officials, and also held a funeral for himself at home, making the women at home cry for themselves.
He sat on the coffin by himself, eating the sacrifice and enjoying it. Such an absurd move, unprecedented, is undoubtedly the most absurd brother of the Qing Dynasty.
However, some people say that this was done by Hongzhou on purpose to reduce Gan Long's defense against him. Although Hongzhou was favored by Yongzheng, he realized long ago that Qianlong was the preferred successor of Yongzheng. Therefore, in order to show that he has no intention of the throne, he deliberately made these absurd acts.
No matter whether Hongzhou is really ridiculous or low-key, at least Qianlong is really good to this brother and loves him very much. Hongzhou lived to Qianlong for thirty-five years, at the age of 58.
Hongzhou's mother lived much longer than him. Geng Shi was honored as the imperial concubine of Koguryo in the second year of Qianlong, and was honored as the imperial concubine of Koguryo in his 90 s in the 43 rd year of Qianlong.
In the forty-sixth year of Qianlong, Geng Shi died and was buried in Princess Tailing Garden, ranking above all the princesses.
