Follow the hexagram on the six clouds: Restraint is from the dimension. Wang Yongheng is in the West Mountain.

Then go to six, and when you reach the top, there will be a taste of disappointment. Grab the unfollowers and trap them firmly with ropes, what are you doing?Do you want to kill him and sacrifice to the sky?In ancient times, it was customary to use prisoners to take prisoners and sacrifice, and this hexagram looks very sinister. But interpreters throughout the ages have not thought so.

First of all, this person is a loyal follower, who has been with him for many, many years, and more importantly, he has made outstanding achievements, and his famous mountain career has already been decided, in a very high-end sentence: Babaoshan is determined. In the old age of rotten wood, if he wants to say that he has the heart of not following and not subservient, no one will believe that the rabbit and the fox will be even more disappointed by the death of the rabbit and the fox.

Therefore, even if you are not happy to deal with such a person, you can only stop at it, make a show, and scare him. Slap your mouth and give me a candy to eat!

Zhang Tingyu, an important minister of the Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong dynasties of the Qing Dynasty, belonged to this situation in his later years, especially the farce of enjoying the Taimiao, which made people sigh.

Zhang Tingyu, a native of Tongcheng, Anhui Province, the son of Zhang Ying, a university scholar, was admitted to the Jinshi at the age of 28, was favored by Kangxi at the age of 35, became Kangxi's personal secretary, and became a waiter of the Ministry of Rites at the age of 45. After Kangxi's death, Yongzheng paid more attention to him, was promoted to the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, participated in secrets, and was promoted to a scholar, the chief military minister, and the two ministries of officials, and the power leaned towards the government and the opposition. Until Qianlong's retirement in the thirteenth year, Zhang Tingyu was as stable as Mount Tai.

Zhang Tingyu has been an official for more than 40 years and has not made any mistakes. At first, he drafted a document for Kangxi, and Kangxi's meaning only needed to be dictated once, and he could understand it and write it on the spot. He has an excellent memory, and he is familiar with the origins and experiences of the ministers of various departments and localities, and his brain is like a living archive.

Zhang Tingyu is an honest official, has no bad habits, does things fairly, and never takes the initiative to fight for the interests of his relatives, so the emperor takes good care of his children. The eldest son, Zhang Ruowei, ranked third in the first class of high school, and Zhang Tingyu asked for a lower ranking. Yongzheng was very moved, changed to the first place in the second class, and announced this to the world.

The most important thing is that Zhang Tingyu considers and judges everything from the perspective of the emperor, not a politician, only a secretary. He often had close talks with Yongzheng, and participated in all the major and minor affairs of the DPRK and China, but none of the merits were attributed to him. Even the "Qing History Manuscript" can't find out what big things he has done in his life.

In the face of such an excellent person, how could Emperor Yongzheng not be blue-eyed?Before Yongzheng died, Zhang Tingyu and Ortai were taken care of and ordered to "enjoy the Taimiao" one day. This is similar to "Heng Yu Xishan". For the sake of "Heng Yu Xishan", Zhang Tingyu almost lost his name.

In the thirteenth year of Qianlong, the 76-year-old Zhang Tingyu resigned due to old age. Emperor Qianlong issued a special edict: "Qing received the great favor of the two dynasties, and was ordered by the emperor to take the test, and he will be worthy of enjoying the temple in the future." How can there be a reason to return to the field from the ancestor to the old age?"Preach the consolation.

The next year, Zhang Tingyu begged to leave his post again to recuperate, but he was too concerned about enjoying the Taimiao, and took a twist, "I'm afraid that I won't be honored after my death, and there is also this discussion outside. asked Qianlong to write a "letter of guarantee", Qianlong was very displeased, but when he thought of the old ministers of the Three Dynasties, he still wrote it. The next day, Zhang Tingyu thanked him and sent his son Zhang Ruocheng into the palace to thank him. Emperor Qianlong was quite annoyed that Zhang Tingyu did not personally thank him, and ordered his earl to be cut off.

In the fifteenth year of Qianlong, Zhang Tingyu asked to return to his hometown again, which angered Emperor Qianlong and said that Zhang Tingyu was worthless: "You have been an official for so many years and have made no achievements, but you are just an antique ornament." Subsequently, Zhang Tingyu's qualification to "enjoy the Taimiao" was dismissed.

In the twentieth year of Qianlong, 84-year-old Zhang Tingyu died at home. In the end, Emperor Qianlong still obeyed the edict of Yongzheng and was destined to enjoy the Taimiao. "Zhang Tingyu in the imperial examination, diligent and cautious praise, careful of the edict, originally belonged to the old ministers, should be given preferential mercy, should still abide by the edict, worthy of the temple, in order to show our country reward the grand ceremony of hard work. ”

There is a folk proverb in Yi Zhongzi's hometown: Lay nails and protect your feet. This means that in order to implement something, several procedures have been done. In order to "enjoy the Taimiao", Zhang Tingyu was not practical with Yongzheng's edict, and he even asked Qianlong to write a letter of guarantee, which was also confused. "Restraint is from maintenance", I didn't expect that the organ would be exhausted, and in the end it would be humiliating. Fortunately, his exploits are there, and Qianlong is also a hero, so the haunting "worthy of enjoying the Taimiao" still fulfills his wish!

In the entire Qing Dynasty, Zhang Tingyu was the only Han person in the "Worthy Taimiao", which shows that he is not simple.
