EMPEROR YONGZHENG - YONGZHENG DOCUMENTARY 

now we are heading towards qianlong (finally) maybe we can take a bit of a side trip about the banner system as it is military but also a societal system and maybe take us to the inner palace a sort of myth busting about the life in the harem that we see in c-dramas. on that note, a bit sad you didn't use empresses in the palace clips to represent yongzheng. keep up the great work! really really hooked watching your vids!

Some source said he was selected to enthrone by his father because of his son, Hong Li aka Emperor Qianlong. His father adored him and intended making him to be the Emperor.

I have to express my appreciation here. I have been working my way through this series and it does not disappoint, the brilliant Chinese history is so censored and lied about. My gateway into this was my favourite film the last emperor and fascination with Puyi's life which you also made a superb documentary on. I love this channel.

Young Chen is the best emperor Qing dinasty, political stabilization of the country, eradicate corruption of officials & strong reform of state finances 2 times of the time of Kangxi.

request, how about the crazily tough education these Qing princes received.

I like the fact that you're using Manchu at many places, hoxoi cin wang, seremxeme tehe amban, etc.

I am fascinated with Chinese history. Especially this emperor and his successor.

Regarding his death it is useful to know that many taoist potions contained mercury; quite similar to the medicine of european alchemists.

Historical evidence suggests that it was hard to tamper with the will. Of all the emperors in the Qing Dynasty, I think he is definitely underrated. Without him, the Qing Dynasty might have collapsed earlier than expected. And imo, he is by far one of the better emperors, if not for Kangxi in his later years, he should be the top guy.

Despite Qing Dynasty being my fav Chinese history period, Yongzheng is my fav Emperor of all. I really admire him despite him being seen as ruthless.

Thank you so much!. Amazing videos! Is there a remainder to this playlist? Videos Covering the rest of emperors Qianlong upto Puyi??

Wow! Really notable that you only included the western plains of Taiwan in your maps. Most of the time people just (incorrectly) simplify to the whole of Taiwan.

Very interesting video! I'm one of your newest subscribers!

hey channel owner, I ended up watching one of videos on the history of China on Caspian channel or something and the reporter on that channel, named Vincent, sounded strikingly similar to you and he was doing a report on Chinese history as well. are you and him the same person?

A lot of kung fu movies are set in this era, and after it.

"Taking pills and elixirs of immortality." We've seen this movie before.

best emperor of the dynasty

nice, i didnt aware of his civil engineering achievement, since he is too well known on anti corruption and econ reform. btw, he also liberated many from slavery and ban them once n for all.

Hi, how are those TV dramas you show named in Chinese?

I may have seen a painting this guy at a traveling exhibit .

Good video. Hope you are keeping safe

Regardless of religion if they inferred with politics back in the days. They risked being executed, exiled, or alienated.

lol that was a good show, with the dude that played zhuge liang and mao zedong

similar death as qin shihuangdi

Some say he was this cruel, despotic leader who usurped the throne and others say he was a diligent and fair leader. I don't know who to believe

I'm always curious how would the Secret Designation of Crown Prince play out if there's a case of the two copies not tallying. I mean since it's history, we know that didn't happen or rather, it wasn't shown/shared/recorded to have happened. But curious how it would have played out nevertheless. e.g., what's plan B to identify which is the official unaltered document if both don't tally with the other? HAHA. Knowing it wouldn't affect anything since no Monarch are using this now. Maybe we can use it for you will? HAHHA

Yongzheng: No cliques! George Washington: No parties!

Please do one about the Yellow Emperor

What if Yuan Shikai refuse to help the Qing Dynasty against the revolutionaries during the Xinhai Revolution?

What music did you use at 4:20?

nice

The Emperors’ arrogance & vanity led to their peoples’ destruction….Whether attempting to “live forever” (because the world couldn’t do without you), or cutting all contact with the European “barbarians,” it was a case of “cutting off your nose to spite your face”….

10:17 Glasses/spectacles in 1735 in China? I don't think so. Anyway, great video as always, Grand Historian. Your video on Qianlong will be epic.

i'm surprised you said taoist because your pronounciation is normally really good. taoist is pronounced daoist, it's spelled with a T in the archaic wade giles system

Why do emperors always seek immortality?

i wonder where are there grave located at?

how do only 4 kids make it to adulthood out of 30??? what type of life style did these people live???

Is it true that the Qing burn down the shaolin temple?

I cant imagine being remembered as the last Emperor to OD lmfaooo

😭😱

He did accomplish many great things doing his reign, but to call him a good emperor and a good ruler is far stretched for me. I don’t see how you can call someone who won’t separate the church from the state a good ruler. We have a problem here. (American) Even though it says that church and state need to be separate, they still allow it to happen. Another thing to say he criticized Christianity when he ultimately made it illegal makes no sense. He did way more than knock it. I got beef with God too, but I wouldn’t force anybody to change their beliefs. But when you look at their leaders, I guess it would make sense that Gandhi and Buddha were both prejudiced, so I think it would make sense that he would have something against the Christians even doubt they didn’t do anything to him personally. Ultimately I don’t understand why can’t he believe in what he wants, but they can’t believe in what they want? This happens when you give people to power who say they’re for the people; they really have their own agenda. Sure the orphanages and make family relief plans to make you think that you care about them and their needs when really you don’t want the people to revolt against you. When will we ever have a sincere and honest genuine person in power? The more I learn about cultures from other places, I see why people come to America, and I appreciate it more each day, especially how China forces you to choose if you want to be Chinese or not, and when I say that, I mean they don’t do dual citizenship so if you're going to live somewhere like America don’t tell you you have to give up your Chinese citizenship to live there when you’re just Chinese American. Still, they refuse. They make you choose, which makes no sense. We’re all foreigners here. Here you don’t have to choose; you can be a mixture of things because, once again, we’re all foreigners here and how you identify how you identify, you just have to fill out the paperwork for it.

After all CPC claim of Tibet being part of China since ancient time has been busted by this video, Qing never made Tibet a part of China rather Tibet was an autonomous protectorate of the empire, Tibetans only paid allegiance to the Manchu emperors who often acted as Buddhist protectors. Tibet only became part of Qing dominion in the year 1720 when they defeated Dzungars
