Kangxi Strange News Xiao Kangxi intimidated the teacher, and after being pro-government, he shocked the government and the opposition, and the mystery was revealed
In most people's minds, Emperor Kangxi was a rare Ming monarch, but in the entire Qing Dynasty, there was hardly an emperor whose exploits could be compared to him. He quelled the rebellion of the three feudatories, recovered the island of Taiwan, re-expanded the territory of China, and greatly increased the national strength, and a generation of Ming monarchs was loyal to his name.
But once upon a time, such a wise man was young and ignorant and acted recklessly. After all, Emperor Kangxi was only eight years old when he ascended the throne, and he became the king of a country at a young age, and no one dared to question his opinion, so it was inevitable that he would be a little willful when he was young, which was also human nature.
Once, the young Kangxi Emperor suddenly said to a teacher who taught him:"In that era of advocating respect for teachers, Emperor Kangxi's words were shocking. Why did he say harsh things about the teacher who taught him?
The Emperor's teacher.
This unfortunate teacher's name is Chen Tingjing, whose real name is Chen Jing, born in the Chongzhen period, he has been smart since he was a child, and his parents have high hopes for him and send him to study. He lived up to his family's education, and his academic Xi grades were much better than those of other students, and even his teachers appreciated him, saying that he would become a pillar of the country in the future and could be loyal to the country.
But during the Chongzhen period, how chaotic, we know that there was Li Zicheng's rebellion inside, and the Qing army stealing the pass outside, and the entire Central Plains was involved in war. Don't talk about recruiting troops in the palace, even the best people don't let go.
The capital of the imperial examination itself is still barely maintained, but Chen Tingjing did not dare to move the capital to the bandits, waiting for the opportunity at home. This wait lasted until the fall of Manchurian rule in the Ming Dynasty, which in the eyes of the Han Chinese represented the barbaric Qing Dynasty.
Out of respect for the Qing Dynasty, many Han Chinese refused to serve the Qing Dynasty. Chen Tingjing also hesitated for a long time, and it was not until the fifteenth year of Shunzhi that he passed the imperial examination of the Qing Dynasty and successfully obtained his diploma.
Chen Tingjing was very talented, and Emperor Shunzhi admired him very much and often summoned him personally. At that time, there was also a ** named Chen Jing in the palace, and in order to distinguish them, Emperor Shunzhi personally renamed him Chen Tingjing. In the era of the supreme reign of the emperor, the emperor's name is the highest honor, which shows the importance of the Shunzhi Emperor.
Chen Tingjing was grateful for the kindness of Emperor Shunzhi, did his best for the Qing Dynasty, and had an excellent reputation in the officialdom. He had heard of the harem of the former dynasty for a long time, and even the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang had a very good impression of him, and he was a talented and diligent official.
In 1661, Emperor Shunzhi died young, and his chosen heir, Emperor Kangxi, was only eight years old and a child who did not understand anything. Without the protection of the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, I am afraid that he would not have succeeded in ascending to the throne.
As mentioned earlier, the gentleman is less suspicious of the country, the emperor is too young, and he is worried about the dynasty and the sect, and I am afraid that he will not be a good emperor in the future. While pacifying the government, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang educated Emperor Kangxi, in addition to teaching by word and deed, she also selected a group of talented and virtuous teachers for Emperor Kangxi, and Chen Tingjing was one of them.
Because the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang knew Chen Tingjing's character and talent, after Emperor Kangxi ascended the throne, she promoted him to the daily lecture of the lecture and reading office, and asked him to read the "Four Books" and "Five Classics" and other sage books for Emperor Kangxi.
Chen Tingjing was flattered, he was the son of this teacher with a very special position in the court, and the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang was also willing to hand over to him the Han people she truly trusted.
The emperor borrowed money.
Emperor Kangxi is worthy of being a generation of Ming monarchs in later generations, he was very smart when he was young, Chen Tingjing taught him knowledge, and he always quickly understood it. Because of this, Chen Tingjing was very surprised, the emperor was very smart, which was a blessing in the world, and since then he has been more attentive to the teaching of Emperor Kangxi, and he is determined to cultivate a generation of Ming monarchs.
However, there is one thing that makes Chen Tingjing very worried, although Emperor Kangxi is smart, he became the king of a country at the age of eight, and no one around him dares to challenge his behavior. In the long run, his personality is inevitably a little reckless, and he does not even have much respect for the teacher who preaches and teaches and solves doubts.
Once, Chen Tingjing was giving a lecture to Emperor Kangxi, and Emperor Kangxi suddenly stopped him and said:"Mr. Chen, people say that you are the first official and have the most money, so you lend me some money and let me spend it. "
Chen Tingjing felt that this was very strange, Emperor Kangxi, as the king of a country, usually ate and drank in the palace, and he couldn't leave the palace when he was young, so what was the use of asking for money?So he thought, of course he wanted it, but he didn't expect Emperor Kangxi to say casually:"Spend money and play well"。
He'll cut off your head.
Spending money indiscriminately on entertainment, Chen Tingjing is unacceptable. For a while, a series of extravagant rulers such as King Shang and Emperor Yang of Sui flashed through his mind. If Emperor Yang of Sui couldn't restrain his desire to spend money indiscriminately, he might become such an extravagant and wasteful person in the future.
Chen Tingjing refused to agree, but Emperor Kangxi was the king of a country after all, even if he was his own teacher, he couldn't simply refuse his request, otherwise it would be a crime of bullying the king!
Chen Tingjing was in a dilemma, but he still apologized and blocked Emperor Kangxi's unreasonable request"I'm shy now, the emperor wants money to spend, and you can also wait for me to send you money. "
Emperor Kangxi was annoyed:"How much money can the emperor have, I don't want these three melons and two dates, take out the money in the treasury and give it to me. "In the eyes of the young Kangxi Emperor, all the money in the world belongs to him alone, and the treasury is no exception, as the master, he can spend it at will.
Chen Tingjing realized that Emperor Kangxi had such thoughts, and he immediately knelt down and said solemnly to Emperor Kangxi:"Your Majesty, this treasury is a treasure of the world, and it cannot be abused arbitrarily, even you are no exception"
Chen Tingjing said this sincerely and rationally, but in the eyes of Emperor Kangxi, who had never heard her refusal, she deliberately showed off and belittled herself, the young queen. He was furious, jumped like thunder, pointed at Chen Tingjing and said:'Little thing, don't bully me, wait, as soon as I come to power, I'll unscrew your dog's head!'
As the saying goes, the Son of Heaven is hard to chase, as soon as Emperor Kangxi said this, Chen Tingjing immediately felt that his life was in danger, but he still gritted his teeth and refused to let go, begging for mercy to inform Emperor Kangxi that the silver in the treasury could not be used indiscriminately. This angered Emperor Kangxi even more, and he vowed to correct him.
Chen Tingjing also knew that Emperor Kangxi was angry, so after Emperor Kangxi ascended the throne, he immediately asked Emperor Kangxi to retire to his hometown so as not to retaliate against Emperor Kangxi.
At this time, Emperor Kangxi understood his hard work, knew that it was his own fault, committed an immoral act, not only agreed to his request, but also the master and apprentice, completely out of resentment for the continuation of the previous edge, finally reconciled.
When people are young, they are innocent and innocent, and they always feel that they are the center of the world and cannot be disobeyed, and Emperor Kangxi has been like this since he was young since he ascended the throne, so he casually said that he wanted to kill his master.
However, after all, Mingjun's generation has grown up and realized his mistakes at that time, and knowing his mistakes can improve his treatment of teachers, so there will be a good ending, which is also a good story.
