Chapter four hundred and ninety-ninth study godson
Yongzheng Ye, Qing Shizong Aixinjueluo. Yinzhen! The fourth son of Emperor Kangxi, the fifth emperor of the Qing Dynasty, the third emperor after the Qing Dynasty made the capital the capital, the reign name was Yongzheng.
Mongolia honors him as "Nairal Tutob Khan", and Tibet honors him as "Emperor Manjusri".
When Emperor Yongzheng was young, he liked to read Buddhist classics, often communicated with monks, and wrote "Jiyun Baiwen" to discuss Buddhist edicts. He called himself "Pochen Jushi". This jade seal was the personal seal used by Yongzheng when he was young!
"The Treasure of Yongzheng's Edict" is the seal used privately by Yongzheng after he became emperor!
Emperor Yongzheng is one of the people Lin Wen admires the most. To be able to get the personal seals of Emperor Yongzheng from both sides at once is a blessing that cannot be described as good. It is simply overwhelming!
After Lin Wen carefully cleaned up the two seals, he played with it repeatedly and almost couldn't put it down. It wasn't until it was almost time to turn off the lights that he left the study and entered Shen Shiyi's room, spreading all his excitement on her...
Langtou quietly took the "arrogant" ornament to someone to repair it. The base had been dug up by Lin Wen. He wanted to restore it and make it old again, but non-experts couldn't do it.
Lin Wen got two precious seals, and he was in a particularly good mood for many days. In addition, Lin Feng had finished the college entrance examination and had no worries anymore. He felt very relaxed all over.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Wen took his family back to Yingcheng and Jincheng to live for a period of time respectively. He spent time with his parents, went to his company, took baths in the sea, soaked in hot springs, and lived a comfortable life...
Lin Feng's university admission notice finally arrived as scheduled, and he was admitted to Beijing University without any suspense.
Kong Qi and the others were busy helping Lin Feng prepare all the things he needed for school. Lang Tou arranged for people to secretly protect Lin Feng's safety. Wang Kunzhi and his wife looked at Xiao Feng who was about to leave home and felt sad secretly from time to time.
Lin Wen called Xiaofeng to the study alone. After chatting for a few words about going to college, Lin Wen suddenly asked: "Xiaofeng, how much do you know about Emperor Yongzheng?"
Xiaofeng didn't know why his father suddenly asked this question, but he could still remember some of it after reading Yongzheng's original records, and he had a very good impression of this diligent emperor.
"Dad, I have read the original records of Yongzheng. His name was Aixinjueluo Yinzhen. He succeeded to the throne in 1722 and died in 1735. He reigned for thirteen years. When he was the prince, he was a conscientious errand prince. When he became the emperor, After that, he began to vigorously rectify the officialdom and implement the New Deal. In just thirteen years, the Qing Dynasty's treasury was full, the officialdom was clear, and he was a good emperor who was diligent and loved the people. However, there were also some negative comments about him, saying that he was a human being. He was a vicious bird of prey, ruthless and cruel. Grandpa Du also mentioned Emperor Yongzheng, and he spoke highly of this emperor."
Lin Wen nodded and said: "If you can remember these things, it means that you are quite solid in reading. However, reading is not just about memorizing some knowledge. The ultimate purpose of reading is to make you smarter! "
Lin Wen looked at his childish son and continued: "Xiao Feng, when you were young, your father's conditions were very poor. We lived a poor life. In recent years, we have made some money and our living conditions have improved. If You are just a child with mediocre talents, and your father will not place high hopes on you. Life is a process of realizing ideals and ambitions. In the long river of history, everyone’s life is short, but it can reflect the value of one’s own existence. .Yongzheng was such an outstanding person. He only spent thirteen years writing a glorious life. He was the best among all the emperors of the past! Dad, let’s talk to you about Emperor Yongzheng today, okay? ?”
Lin Feng nodded and said, "Okay!"
Lin Wen said: "Yin Zhen was named Baylor at the age of twenty-one, Prince Heshuo Yong at the age of thirty-two, inherited the throne at the age of forty-five, and was named Yongzheng. During his reign, he made a series of reforms
: Implementing land reform and returning land to local residents has strengthened the rule over the ethnic minorities in the southwest; implemented the system of dividing land into acres by dividing the land and abolishing the system of lowly status, changing the past double tax collection standards based on people and acres, and levying land taxes on land and land at the same time, which alleviates the
The burden on farmers with no land or very little land has promoted population growth; the implementation of the return of waste to the public, vigorous rectification of finances, and the establishment of an honest bank system have eliminated corruption to a certain extent and filled the national treasury; the implementation of the integration of officials and gentry into responsibilities
In the past, only the common people paid taxes and had to perform military service and corvee labor. The officials and gentry belonged to the ruling class and did not pay taxes if they were not allowed to serve. After the reform, the officials and gentry also had to pay taxes and work as servants.
Yongzheng promoted the reform of the land and returned it to local people, which offended the local forces; the big landowners suffered a loss when they spread their land into acres, and they were offended again; when the officials were deprived of money, they offended the officials; the officials and the gentry were united
When he was on duty, he deprived scholars of their privileges and offended all the scholars in the world. However, none of his reforms harmed the interests of ordinary people at all. They also reduced the pressure on people's lives and alleviated the fundamental contradictions of society.
In order to consolidate the rule of the dynasty and the foundation of the Qing Dynasty, he made an indelible contribution!
Yongzheng offended too many people, and many people spoke ill of him. The big landowners scolded him, the gentry scolded him, and even the officials scolded him privately.
However, let’s look at Yongzheng’s achievements:
Militarily, we sent troops to Qinghai to quell the Luobuzangdanjin rebellion; politically, we rectified officialdom and established a military aircraft office to centralize power; economically, we cleared arrears so that the treasury would have money for disaster relief; we improved the secret reserve system,
Institutionalize the succession of the throne and avoid the situation of princes fighting each other.
More importantly, Emperor Yongzheng was diligent in political affairs throughout his life. During his reign,
, strict self-discipline, and adheres to the principle of "diligence leads the world" and "works day and night". He is diligent in political affairs, working until late at night every day, sleeping less than four hours. He only rests on his birthday in a year. We are now
Among the tens of thousands of memorials that can be found, he has written more than 10 million words of comments. Regardless of his diligent spirit, financial management effectiveness, or governance achievements, he can be called the best among ancient Chinese emperors.
Role model.”
After Lin Wen took a sip of tea, he continued: "As a comment on Yongzheng, his father, Emperor Kangxi, said that the fourth son of the emperor, Yinzhen, had a noble character and was deeply loved by me. Emperor Kangxi is called the one emperor through the ages.
He observed Yongzheng for more than ten years and finally made up his mind to be his successor. This shows that Yongzheng is an excellent candidate for emperor in all aspects.
Some people also say that he is a talented and sinister man who is merciless to his brothers and officials. But I don’t think so. If an emperor is a good old man or has a soft heart, then he will not only fail to achieve his career, but will also suffer disaster.
People's society.
Others say that he was mean but not ungrateful, and he was cold but not ruthless. Others say that the statement that Yongzheng had no official duties may be too exaggerated, but it is a fair evaluation of Yongzheng's governance.
Let us ignore these comments for the moment. It is a fact that Yongzheng worked hard and diligently in common government during the thirteen years of his reign. It is also a fact that he was strong-willed, resolute in character, and energetic. It is also a fact that he worked hard, reformed shortcomings, and made outstanding achievements.
Throughout his life, Yongzheng did not care about personal gains and losses, let alone the comments of later generations. He realized his ideals and ambitions and worked hard for the country and the people to death.
Later generations once lamented that Yongzheng died suddenly after his reign was too short. If he had lived ten more years, the entire political situation would have been different. If he had lived thirty more years, perhaps the fate of China would have been changed because of him."
After Lin Wen finished speaking, he saw his son looking a little thoughtful. He took out two Yongzheng jade seals he had just obtained from a charity auction not long ago, handed them to Lin Feng, and said: "Son, of these two jade seals, one is Yongzheng's."
The seal he used when he was young, and one is the private seal he used when he became emperor, dad gave it to you."
After Lin Feng carefully took the jade seal, Lin Wen said: "My child, you are about to enter the university. Just like a young eagle, you will start to spread your wings and soar into the sky. In the future, no matter what level you can achieve, you must keep in mind
According to my father’s words: If you own a land, you must benefit the people! No matter what position you hold or where you live, you must conscientiously fulfill your responsibilities and benefit the people and the common people! Don’t care about personal honor or disgrace, and don’t care about others.
Comments: With strong confidence and perseverance, you can achieve glory in life!"
