Late Scene of Qianlong Emperor
by Gao Wangling
About This Novel
Compared with the previous fifty years, Qianlong's later years became the most failed and criticized period of Qianlong's rule. The writing style of this book is quite different from the first two. This book puts forward different opinions on several theories, and seems to be a little defense for Emperor Qianlong: was the reason for his failure, or was it because of the dereliction of political affairs? Or is it because of official corruption? Or is it because He Shen is the one responsible? Or lack of vision, resulting in the loss of a possible opportunity (such as in international trade)? ... The biggest controversy may still lie in the so-called "political dereliction". The "autocratic centralization" that people imagine is actually not easy in this country with a vast territory and a high degree of mobility among the people? Another character mentioned in the Qianlong Trilogy is Liu Songling, who is discussed in detail in this book. In addition, the author's methodology for researching Qing history for more than thirty years is also listed for readers to meet. In the end, Qianlong still had to bid farewell to this world and leave with great regret. And our Qianlong Trilogy can come to an end here.
