The Emperor Daoguang of the Xuanzong Emperor of the Qing Dynasty showed a resolute and courageous side in times of trouble as his son. In those days, when the Emperor Jiaqing was not in the palace (in the summer resort), Tenrikyo Lin Qing led the uprising army to attack the Forbidden City. When the palace was in a state of panic, Minning, then only 16 years old, took the lead and raised a gun to shoot the insurgents, organizing effective resistance. The insurgents were always blocked from the Qianqing Gate Square outside the Qianqing Gate until the elite soldiers of the Eight Banners Jianrui Camp arrived at the Forbidden City to clear the siege. Minning’s outstanding performance has won important weight for his inheritance from the Communist Party

The Emperor Daoguang was at a critical moment in history, but he “kept his routine without knowing its changes.”. He has been in office for 30 years, strictly abiding by the ancestral system, diligent in governance, and striving for thrift. However, the opium poisoning from the Southeast Sea made him restless and finally determined to strictly ban smoking. In the early 19th year of the Daoguang reign (1839), Emperor Daoguang appointed Lin Zexu as the imperial envoy and banned smoking in Guangdong. Humen’s destructed opium has also triggered tensions between China and the UK. In June of the 20th year of the Daoguang reign (1840), the British expeditionary army arrived at the sea level of China, and the Opium War broke out. On August 29th, the 22nd year of Daoguang’s reign (1842), the Qing government and Britain signed the first unequal treaty in modern Chinese history, the Treaty of Nanjing, which reduced China to a semi colonial society
