The Qing Dynasty admired the Manchu and Han families, but in fact they were duplicitous, and only Shunzhi sincerely pursued it
When he was young, Emperor Shunzhi ascended to the throne with the support of the regent Dorgon. During this period, he was subjected to various restrictions and oppressions, and even lost the throne for a time. The shadow of his childhood accompanied him throughout his life, and after he came to power, on the one hand, he fought against the Manchu ** clique led by Dolgon, and on the other hand, he supported the Han ministers, especially the remnants of the old Ming Dynasty. There are some more typical examples.
Zhang Fengxiang, a minister of the Ming Dynasty, was already 70 years old when he served as the secretary of the criminal department in the Qing Dynasty. One day, he accompanied the emperor to a banquet in the palace, and suddenly fell to the ground when he went down the stairs. Emperor Shunzhi hurriedly ordered the guards to come forward to help him up, and sent someone to help him out of the palace and send him home to rest. But he was still not at ease, so he sent the chamberlain out of the palace to ask Zhang Laoshangshu if he could ride a horse.
Emperor Shunzhi said that Zhang Fengxiang was old and could make an exception to buy a small chair or shoulder. At this time, Zhang Fengxiang went to Chang'an Gate, which was not far from home, if it weren't for this seat, Emperor Shunzhi would be worried, and he couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart. Emperor Shunzhi saw that Zhang Fengxiang was old, so he hurriedly rewarded him with clothes and valuables, and left the original Yulu to him to serve. After the next dynasty, Zhang Fengxiang spent many years of hard work and wrote a letter"Book of Rites"and one"Music books"Dedicated to Emperor Shunzhi.
Jin Zhijun Shiqing, the champion of the Wanli Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty and the right attendant of the Ministry of War, is still serving in the original organ, and this person is open-minded and very talented. In the early years of Shunzhi, he exempted the capital from land rent to save popularity; send ministers to the surrounding areas of the capital to administer; The prohibition of the Manchurian authorities from collecting additional horsemen and harassing the common people all adopted Dorgon's advice and contributed to the stability of society in the early Qing Dynasty.
In addition, Jin Zhijun also recommended a group of former Ming **, such as Ding Chu, the former Ming Jiliao Governor, Ding Qirui, the governor of Shaanxi, Lian Guoan, the governor of Shaanxi, and the deputy capital of the Internal Affairs Office, Yu Shi Fangzhuang, etc. Because of his loyalty and leadership, after Emperor Shunzhi ascended the throne, the Academy of National History awarded him the title of chief examiner of the Shunzhi 10th year (1653).
Jin Zhijun thought that he was old and begging, so he took the initiative to mention the disease, but Emperor Shunzhi did not agree. Thirteen years later, Jin Zhijun asked to return to his hometown again, and Emperor Shunzhi was worried, so he especially instructed the ministers:"We must uphold the righteousness of the monarch and the minister. In the future, don't go back to your hometown at every turn. How shall I release you? "
Emperor Shunzhi's words touched the ministers, and Jin Zhijun sighed:"The incompetent person made a big mistake, and the emperor sympathized with him, but he was also calculating me. The former minister made so many mistakes, he was afraid that he would not fulfill his duties, so he took the initiative to retire, and he was reluctant to leave the emperor. "As a result, Kim Jijun not only resigned, but also became higher and higher, and the position became more and more difficult.
In September of the fifteenth year of Shunzhi (1658), the temple was changed to the third courtyard as the cabinet address, and Jin Zhijun was appointed as a scholar of Taipingguan University and a secretary of the ministry. After entering the law department, in addition to the crown prince Taibao, he also wrote an inscription for Emperor Chongzhen. In August of the sixteenth year of Shunzhi, Jin Zhijun went to the funeral and asked to return to China before leaving. Regardless of whether he was the emperor or not, Shunzhi wrote him a letter of condolence, asking him to return to Beijing as usual after the edict promoted him to a very auxiliary position. In the eighteenth year of Shunzhi (1661), he took charge of the palace and transferred the internal affairs system, and Emperor Shunzhi respected him as a university scholar. Shortly after the death of Emperor Shunzhi, Jin Zhijun was allowed to leave office.
The party of elegance, the scholar of tomorrow's qi, the official of the Qing Dynasty to the Ministry of Households, and later transferred to the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, and further planned legislation in the early Qing Dynasty. His age was not as good as Jin Zhijun, and he returned from illness after ten years of Shunzhi. Because of its integrity, the emperor ordered him to pay his original fortune and instructed the local governor to go to condolence frequently.
For nearly half a year, Emperor Shunzhi summoned the current party Xiang Chongya, and after Chongya resigned, Emperor Shunzhi issued a holy decree:"Because of your advanced age, you can't bear to stay away from your family, and please send you to the end of your life, you have difficulty walking, and your mood is serious, I understand. I just want to govern the country, the old ministers love you very much, even if you are over 70 years old, you can still do something, I beg you, or for the country, go back to Beijing to take office. "
Pardi Chongya was in trouble because of the edict, and after returning to the capital, Emperor Shunzhi gave him the position of the head of the National History Museum. However, Pati Chongya was old and sick, so he asked Shunji again when he was twelve years old (1655). Emperor Shunzhi specially named him the prince and the prince of Fu, and sent Qi Jiguang to escort him home. Dang Chongya entered the palace to thank him, and Emperor Shunzhi took pity on his poor soul and gave him a set of clothes and told him:"Today you are going back, I am afraid that there will be no chance to meet again, I specially gave you a set of clothes, wearing it, it is equivalent to seeing me. "
Dang Chongya burst into tears and thanked him repeatedly. Before leaving, Emperor Shunzhi summoned him and ordered the university scholar Cheke to be sent back to his hometown. The following year, he sent the imperial guards to mourn with lamb wine and other things, and also brought a letter praising the noble party"The word Uncle Fang"、"Incorruptible and diligent", wishing him a long and happy life, expressing the young monarch's deep affection for his former loyal ministers. Only Emperor Shunzhi could see sincerity in the statements of the Manchu and Han families.
