Money is a new type of "bondage" in modern society, and unlike the "bondage" of the old era, it builds an impenetrable human barrier between people, without the slightest emotional interaction and personality interaction.
We are driven by money**, driven by money, to take actions that make us regretful, to make choices that make us lose our true self. But even so, we are still willing to do it.
We are willing to be slaves to money, attracted by its light and breath, unable to extricate ourselves.
In the feudal dynasty, stopping the emperor's convoy on the street was a great rebellion, but the behavior of the person who stopped the car made people curious, what kind of strange book made him risk his life.
Zhang Jiuxiao was entrusted by his master Zhitianbao to come to present the book, but he was halfway through**, and he himself did not know the content of the book, because he was illiterate.
Zhitian Leopard is a mediocre doctor, but his ambitions are high, and he wants to live a rich life, so he decided to write a book "The Fortune of the Qing Dynasty" to dedicate to the emperor in order to gain wealth.
He believed that emperors liked to listen to nice words, so his books were flashy and flattering. After writing this book, Zhitianbao has been looking forward to meeting a suitable time to dedicate the book, and finally he chose Zhang Jiuxiao.
Zhang Jiuxiao is a patient who obeys his words, and letting Zhang Jiuxiao go to donate a book will neither let him anger the emperor himself, nor let the credit be robbed. So, there was a scene where Qianlong was stopped in the car.
Why did Qianlong arrest Zhang Jiuxiao? It turned out that Qianlong thought that Zhitian Leopard lied that he had encountered the "apparition of the ancestors", which was a great crime, and said in the book that Qianlong had 57 years and cursed the emperor.
Although Zhitianbao originally hoped that the Qing Dynasty's national fortunes would be smooth and Qianlong could live a long life, the result was that he was smart but was mistaken by his cleverness.
Under Qianlong's rule, the Qing Dynasty entered a period of prosperity and achieved national peace and security. However, Qianlong had a feudal superstitious mind, and he believed that he was the son of destiny chosen by God.
Due to his belief in the secret witchcraft of the Great Lamas of the West, he took a number of measures during his reign.
As it turned out, the emperor had a deep obsession with the long reign of his dynasty and hoped that his country would continue forever. Zhitianbao's mistake was that he did not accurately grasp the emperor's mind, but instead wrote that the Qing Dynasty had 800 years of national fortune, which undoubtedly disappointed and angered the emperor, because he thought that this meant that the Qing Dynasty could not exist permanently, which was contrary to his ideas.
In addition, the emperor also had a strong desire for immortality, and they wanted to hold power for a longer time, so they were unwilling to give up the power in their hands, even if they were old and sick.
Therefore, many emperors will spend their lives in their old age to find a way to live forever, even if they know that everyone in this world will die, they are not willing to give up easily.
Therefore, when we write, we must deeply understand the psychology of the emperor in order to write words that are in line with their hearts.
Emperor Qianlong once fantasized that he could "long live, long live, long live", but Zhitianbao reminded him in front of him of the fact that his life would come to an end, which made Qianlong feel very unhappy.
Zhitianbao was well versed in the king's preferences, and he hoped to be able to curry favor with Qianlong through flattery, so as to obtain special treatment. However, Zhitian Leopard's ingenuity was not enough for him to understand the king's intentions, so his flattering behavior might instead cause Qianlong's disgust.
Because in the ancient relationship between kings and subjects, the authority of the king was unrivaled, and once the courtiers failed to understand the king's intentions, they could face danger to their lives, just like He Shen.
The ending of Zhitian Leopard is recorded by history as an unjust case. He wrote the book with his heart, originally intended to bless the Qing Dynasty, but was misunderstood as a curse by the monarch and ministers. Although it seems to be wronged, he also has a certain responsibility.
He pursued glory and wealth, originally as a charlatan, although he could not be rich and rich, but he was enough to make a living, but he chose to go down the crooked path and finally reaped the consequences, which cannot be blamed on others.
