摘要
如果人生真有命运一说,历数中国皇帝,命最好的莫过于清朝的乾隆帝了。他25岁登基,在位60年,退位后又当了3年太上皇,实际掌握最高权力长达63年零4个月,不仅是中国历史上执政时间最长的皇帝,也是世界上统治时间最长的君王。有人或许要反驳,说统治记录的创造者应该是法国'太阳王'路易十四,此人在位72年。但是,太阳王5岁登基,22岁才开始执政,实际掌权不过50年,而乾隆呢,从胤禛咽气那一分钟起,到自己咽气那一刻,手握专制皇权近64年。
If whatever happened was predestined, the Qianlong Emperor might be the luckiest among all Chinese Emperors. He became the 6th emperor of the Qing Dynasty when he was 25, and reigned for 60 years. Besides, he retained ultimate power for 3 more years after his retirement. Consequently, he was the longest ruling emperor both in the history of China and the world.
