7th Emperor: Jiāqìng 嘉慶 (Rénzōng 仁宗) 1796 - 1820
He tried to bring back "The Prosperous Era" during his ruling but he failed. This is due to internal disorders such as a large scale "White Lotus Rebellion" and an empty treasury left over by his father. Besides this, he was also facing the outflow of silver to British India for the opium trade that caused the decline of the Empire.
"People who deny history do not have his story."
