I would like to share with you a story about the Yongzheng Dynasty. In this dynasty, there is an important figure, and he is Wu Sidao.
Wu Sidao was a famous scholar during the Qing Dynasty, and he was born into a family of hairpins in the south of the Yangtze River. He has been a tireless learner since he was a child, and was deeply appreciated and promoted by Emperor Kangxi. During the Kangxi period, he took the imperial examination many times and achieved excellent results.
However, the Kangxi Emperor was not satisfied with relying solely on the imperial examination system to select talents, and he paid more attention to academic attainments and practical experience. As a result, Wu Sidao was sent to the northwest for field investigations, and thus began his military and political career.
In the northwest region, Wu Sidao actively promoted the new policy to curb the accumulation of wealth by the gentry and the internal party strife in the court. He not only reduced the tax burden of the local people, but also strengthened the management and training of the army. These initiatives have been embraced and praised by the local people.
However, Wu Sidao's new policy also faced pressure from within the court. As the emperor at the time, Yinzhen did not agree with Wu Sidao's approach and tried to limit his power through various means. The struggle eventually led to Wu Sidao's deportation from Beijing and his forced departure from his beloved Northwest Territories.
Despite these setbacks, Wu Sidao did not give up on his ideals and beliefs. He continued to exert his talents and influence in academia and became an important scholar and thinker during the Qing Dynasty.
This is the story of Wu Sidao in the Yongzheng Dynasty. He was an outstanding politician and scholar, and his thoughts and actions had a profound impact on China at that time.
