The Qing officials told the old man to return to his hometown, filled more than a dozen large boxes in advance, and Qianlong sent people to intercept them
Sun Jiagan, who has been an official in the Qing Dynasty for 40 years, has had ups and downs in his life, but in the end he left this world with mixed feelings. When he returned to his hometown after his success, countless people were talking about his experience.
As a generation of virtuous ministers, what is the most impressive thing about his life? We can turn the pages of this wonderful history and savor it.
First of all, it is impossible for a person to reach the pinnacle of life through a thorny career!
After 30 years of hard study and repeated failures, such an encounter seems to make Sun Jiagan trudge through the mud of his career. But Confucianism speaks"Master Yi's long skills to control it", even from humble backgrounds, as long as they are talented, hard-working people can get ahead. Of course, in the fifty-second year of Kangxi (1713), Sun Jiagan got the diploma he wanted in the fierce competition for the imperial examination, and was able to enter Beijing as an ordinary diploma and began his career.
The death of his mother and wife shattered his dreams in an instant. According to the traditional understanding of Confucianism, children have an obligation to honor their parents. He had to abandon his heavy filial piety and return to his hometown, where he adhered to the system for three years.
Three years passed like water. When Sun Jiagan returned to the imperial court, Yongzheng had already ascended the throne, and he had to face a strange new master. This once brilliant and accomplished man, like a faint flame, was quickly extinguished in the raging hurricane. When Zheng Biao saw that fate was about to close his career again, he changed his fate.
This is a direct manifestation of the implicit need. In the face of the grim situation of Yongzheng's New Deal, Sun Jiagan strongly suggested: get close to the imperial brother, stop fundraising, and raise troops in the northwest. Such a bold move immediately angered Yongzheng. He tortured the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy and swore that he would take it"Misconduct"dismissed Sun Jiagan for the reason.
At a critical juncture, the world-famous minister Zhu Shi's"Advice against the ear is good for action"and Sun Jiagan's brave loyalty woke up Yongzheng.
I admire Sun Jiagan's courage"。These words made Yongzheng think for a long time, and finally nodded in agreement. In Yongzheng's view, Sun Jiagan, as the first champion who was not deposed and promoted, should be like a courtier.
Secondly, both emperors knew him and educated him many times.
Yongzheng drove the crane to the west, and Qianlong ascended the throne. Qianlong knew that Sun Jiagan was loyal and honest, so he promoted him to be the Minister of Internal Affairs. Sun Jiagan's official fortune is prosperous, and it is an auspicious day for the official, Sun Jiagan has made remarkable achievements and made many miraculous achievements. During Sun Jiagan's reign, food was abundant, the treasury was full, and a rare large-scale locust plague did not occur for several years. Because of these brilliant achievements, Qianlong recognized Sun Jiagan's abilities and trusted and relied on him wholeheartedly.
However, the good times were short-lived. While Sun Jiagan won the hearts of the people, he also attracted the jealousy and suspicion of the sinister villain. An anonymous secret manuscript circulated in the court, detailing Sun Jiagan's affairs"Evil deeds", the spearhead is directed at the emperor. Qianlong was furious and vowed to bring the real culprit to justice. Sun Jiagan was soon implicated in this secret recital.
In the midst of the crisis, Qianlong still trusted Sun Jiagan. He overturned Sun Jiagan's conviction, made it clear that it was not the work of a loyal minister, and warned the imperial court to immediately stop slandering Sun Jiagan. In the end, the case was closed, and the truth was always a secret. But what is certain is that Qianlong's trust in Sun Jiagan was deepened by this unjust imprisonment.
The trust and care of a king for his court ministers is very rare. Sun Jiagan was grateful to him, redoubled his efforts, and worked carefully. With the joint efforts of him and other ministers, unprecedented achievements were made in various fields during the Kangxi and Qianlong periods, the country prospered, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. This has become a glorious chapter in the history of the Chinese nation.
3. Fang Xuanling, who is famous but almost misunderstood.
In his 40-year career, Sun Jiagan was a pulsatilla. fell in love with this position, but after all, he was not as good as an old man in his hometown. This year, Sun Jiagan officially told Qianlong to return to his hometown, preparing to return to his hometown to enjoy Qingfu. After a long time, Emperor Qianlong finally remembered his outstanding achievements and allowed him to retire.
The rarest thing in life is fame and fortune. Sun Jiagan did not make any achievements in the court because of the emperor's favor, but more because of his honesty and accumulation of official duties. Now that he has returned to his hometown, he is a little worried that after returning to his hometown, because he has achieved nothing, he will no longer have face in the face of the ridicule and ridicule of the villagers.
So, he came up with one"Ingenious"The way - buy a dozen boxes full of so that people can't see the stones, pretend that they have hoarded gold and silver jewelry for years to be able to be"The capital"Show off in front of people! So, Sun Jiagan put the gold, silver and jewelry he had accumulated over the years into a box so that people could not see it.
Who knows, this move turned out to be an attempt by Sun Jiagan's enemies to assassinate Emperor Qianlong. Emperor Qianlong was furious and immediately sent troops to stop Sun Jiagan at his home and ordered him to inspect the boxes on the spot. At the end of the inspection, it was found that these boxes were dilapidated, and there were no treasures in the bare boxes.
In that case, I'll confront you for you! After the big commotion, Qianlong personally ordered all the gold and silver items in the box to be properly placed, and rewarded Sun Jiagan for returning to his hometown.
Since there was no one in the court, Qianlong took Sun Jiagan back to the auxiliary government. He did not leave the palace until his death. Loyal to the king and loving the people, dedicated to the public, such a courtier is indeed rare. This is also the reason why the three emperors chose him as the one who will take revenge.
Fourth, there are thousands of loyal martyrs, who can sing and cry.
Noble temperament and broad mind are Sun Jiagan's biggest characteristics. He was never flattered by power, never moved by money. As a humble descendant of Dr. Seiryushi, he has always maintained his simple innocence and has a long way to go.
In such a harsh environment, in the endless encirclement and suppression, Sun Jiagan is still his behind-the-scenes manipulator, sticking to his beliefs and ethics.
He did not lose his fighting spirit because of setbacks, but because of difficulties; He did not become arrogant because of his official position, but more resolute because of his integrity. Someday, he can be called because of forty years of dedication"The oldest man in the country"。And he could not have repeatedly made a name for himself at the end of the Great Depression because of his political successes, so why wasn't he a portrait of his former loyalty?
Perhaps, history should not only remember these noble-born nobles, but also remember Sun Jiagan, a loyal minister who has served the country for decades. In the corrupt atmosphere of the feudal dynasty, such honest and honest ministers are especially rare.
He wasn't a perfect man, but his hard work, sacrifice, and dedication were awe-inspiring. This is Sun Jiagan, this is the backbone of a generation of courtiers! Their spirit will be immortalized from generation to generation.
Sun Jiagan was diligent and honest all his life, loved the people like a son, was not afraid of the powerful, dared to admonish, and won the trust and love of the emperor and the people for the Qing officials. His life was a model of honesty and diligence for the people, and became an example for future generations to follow.
Sun Jiagan has the courage to take responsibility, is honest and honest, is not afraid of the powerful, and always adheres to the principle of honesty and integrity. In the course of his tenure, he is known for his honest and honest style, and has never deviated from the right path because of the abuse of power for personal gain. His honesty and diligence have left valuable experience and lessons for future generations, and he has become a banner in the officialdom.
