Throughout the history of China, we have stood at the top of the world. The rule of Zhenguan, the Tang Dynasty, and Genghis Khan's Yuan Dynasty had the widest territory, and the Persian Gulf reached the north of Siberia in the south, and even attracted Marco Polo's "everywhere" admiration.
Looking back on history, the Qing Dynasty was the last dynasty in China, and the isolation of the country led to foreign invasion of China. Despite this, the Qing Dynasty also produced many promising emperors, one of whom was the prosperous Kangqian Dynasty. Kangxi, as the first emperor of the ages, not only has outstanding political achievements, but also talks about the story of nine sons seizing the heir.
The side of the couch does not allow others to sleep soundly.
Historically, those in power have attached great importance to the authority of the throne and will never allow others to challenge it. However, an intriguing incident occurred during the Yongzheng period.
In the 35 years since the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, a Xiucai Zeng Jing accidentally read a book by his teacher Lu Liuliang against the Qing Dynasty and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty. Influenced by it, Zeng Jing began to embark on the road of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty.
Lu Liuliang was a student who failed to make the list during the Yongzheng period, dissatisfied with the Qing Dynasty's eight-share system and criticized the Yongzheng Emperor. Zeng Jing was deeply affected by Lu Liuliang's remarks, and was determined to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, treating him as a teacher.
The name of a general changes fate.
Zeng Jing was ambitious, but lacked military support. At this time, the name of a general changed his fate, and he was Yue Zhongqi, the descendant of the anti-gold hero Yue Fei.
Zeng Jing sent a letter to Yue Zhongqi, hoping that he would be able to fight the enemy and restore Han rule like his ancestors.
There are few heroes, the times are changing, and the country is beautiful.
When Emperor Yongzheng learned of Zeng Jing's rebellion, he ordered Yue Zhongqi to arrest Zeng Jing. Zeng Jing and his accomplices were defeated and imprisoned. Emperor Yongzheng could have put everyone to death, but he spared Zeng Jing, saying that as long as he lived, no one dared to move.
Yongzheng brought Zeng Jing to his side and compiled "The Mystery of Great Righteousness". Zeng Jing became the first tool of preaching, showing the image of Yongzheng being magnanimous and forgiving the rebels.
Qianlong succeeded to the throne, and Zeng Jing's fate reversed.
After Yongzheng's death, Qianlong succeeded to the throne. Qianlong's first thing was to kill Zeng Jing, which deviated from his father's wishes. Why did Qianlong kill Zeng Jing against his father's wishes?
On the one hand, Zeng Jing once slandered Yongzheng, and Qianlong wanted to avenge his father;On the other hand, Zeng Jing was a representative of the anti-Qing restoration of the Ming Dynasty, and Qianlong beheaded him in order to consolidate his power and send a warning to the rebel forces.
Reach the top.
Emperor Qianlong took iron-fisted measures and wantonly killed scholars, so that *** reached its peak. Although the Qing Dynasty entered its heyday, a large number of literati were killed and many ink treasures were destroyed.
In the face of reactionary elements, Emperor Yongzheng took lenient measures, and although he was purposeful, he still showed the magnanimity and foresight of the emperor. Emperor Qianlong beheaded Zeng Jing immediately after succeeding to the throne, showing his wisdom and consolidating his rule.
Conclusion: The twists and turns of father-son love in the long river of history.
Although the emperor's family has always been ruthless, in this tortuous history, we see Yongzheng's tolerance for his son and Qianlong's filial piety to his father. It's a pity that Zeng Jing became a victim of this father-son relationship, and the people are still the most pitiful party in the change of dynasty.
The essay profoundly depicts the contrasting attitudes of the two Qing emperors, Yongzheng and Qianlong, towards Zeng Jing and their different ways of dealing with the rebel forces under their rule. Through the narration of historical events, the article shows the contest between power scheme, tolerance and iron-fisted rule, and also reflects the social turmoil in China at that time.
First of all, Emperor Yongzheng showed surprising tolerance and wisdom. He chose to let Zeng Jing go and used him as a preaching tool to present the image of a lenient and benevolent emperor. This tolerant attitude may be aimed at pandering to the will of the people and consolidating its dominance. Yongzheng's actions give a glimpse of a side that is both wise and benevolent in his scheming, in stark contrast to his historical image.
However, the article then reveals Qianlong's iron-fisted rule. After Qianlong succeeded to the throne, he resolutely killed Zeng Jing regardless of his father Yongzheng's wishes. This shows Qianlong's determination and tough measures to maintain the rule of the Qing Dynasty. His actions were not only to preserve imperial power, but also to send a strong warning to the forces that opposed the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty. Although this kind of strong ruling method ensured the long-term stability of the country, it also brought *** to its peak and brought heavy pressure to the literati.
While revealing historical events, the whole article also presents the complexity of the governance of different emperors. The balance between power and benevolence is undoubtedly extremely challenging for a monarch. At the same time, through the different ways in which Yongzheng and Qianlong treated Zeng Jing, the article profoundly reflects the various dilemmas and variables in the change of power in Chinese history.
On the commentary, we can give in-depth thought to the historical figures and events mentioned in the article. For example, is Yongzheng's tolerance real or politically motivated?Was there any inevitability for Qianlong's iron-fisted means to maintain Qing rule?In addition, for the *** mentioned in the article, we can think about what kind of impact this kind of ** on the literati has had on the development of society and the inheritance of culture in the long river of history.
Overall, this article is set against the backdrop of a vivid historical story, and through the contrast between the governance styles of Yongzheng and Qianlong, it provokes readers to think deeply about the relationship between power and benevolence, tolerance and iron fist.
