Was the Qing Emperor good or bad in the Qing years?

Answer 1

The Qing Emperor was portrayed as a complicated character in the Qing years. It was not easy to judge whether he was good or bad. Some people believed that the Qing Emperor was a ruthless person. In order to protect his throne, he did not hesitate to kill anyone who threatened his interests, including his wife. He was also described as a suspicious Emperor. He was not a good father, partner, or brother to his son, Chen Pingping, and the others. However, to the people of the Qing Kingdom, the Qing Emperor was considered a diligent Emperor. He ran newspapers and built irrigation works. He was considered a qualified Emperor. The relationship between the Qing Emperor and Fan Xian was also complicated. They were father and son, ruler and subject, and also the son of the enemy who killed his mother and the " roadblock." The Qing Emperor had complicated feelings for Fan Xian. As the Emperor, he had fatherly love for Fan Xian. However, this kind of love was different from ordinary people. It was reflected in some minor details. Thus, whether the Qing Emperor was good or bad needed to be evaluated from different perspectives and standpoints. In summary, the Qing Emperor's evaluation of good or bad varied from person to person. There was no clear answer.
