1773年的一个冬夜,乾隆皇帝亲书手谕一封,藏在一个硬木匣子中,然后交给身边的小太监。这个小木匣随后被安放在乾清宫的“正大光明”匾额后。仅仅是这样一道简单的程序,乾隆就完成了秘密立储的工作。22年后,已经84岁的乾隆皇帝不会再做“千古一帝”的美梦了。当年九月初三,他昭告天下,立第十五子永琰为皇太子,并宣布第二年正月初一禅位,新皇年号“嘉庆”。
On a winter night in 1773, Emperor Qianlong wrote a handful of letters, hid it in a hardwood box, and handed it to the little eunuch around him. This small wooden box was then placed in the dry palace after the “big light” plaque. Just such a simple procedure, Qianlong completed the work of secret legislation. 22 years later, Emperor Qianlong, who is already 84 years old, will no longer dream of “eternal Emperor.” On the third day of September of that year, he declared to the world that he established the fifteenth son of Yong Yan as the Crown Prince and announced the first Zen place of the first lunar month of the second year, the New Emperor's number, “Jiaqing.”
