In the early Qing Dynasty in the 18th century, China produced a Qianlong Emperor. He was a powerful emperor who created the last prosperous era of China's feudal society, the "Kangqian Prosperous Era", and China's territory reached the largest in history, allowing powerful China to stand tall in the east of the world.
The Qianlong Emperor had the "three most": he was the longest reigning emperor in China's feudal history, reigning for 60 years from 1735 to 1796, and after abdicating the throne, he was the Emperor Taishang for 3 years, and the actual reign reached 63 years; he was the emperor with the longest life, from September 25, 1711 to February 7, 1799, at the age of 88; he was the emperor who wrote the most poems, according to historical statistics, composed more than 41,800 poems, an average of 1.3 poems per day.
The Qianlong Emperor became emperor at the age of 25, an age when he had just graduated from college. But as soon as he came to power, he immediately reflected his extremely mature and sophisticated political skills, he was very familiar with the characteristics of China's feudal system, and he was proficient in the imperial rule of feudal society.
The Qianlong Emperor made a major innovation in feudal rule, which was epoch-making, that is, a large-scale literary prison that completely broke the backbone of the Chinese literati.
The Qianlong Emperor established one principle: that is, The Dictatorship of The Cadres. That is to say, the Qianlong Emperor firmly grasped the supreme power, did not disperse it slightly, and insisted on "ruling the world with the strength of one person."
He once said: "In the more than one hundred years since the Emperor and emperor were examined, they have personally taken charge of the affairs of the people, and the power is in their hands, and the handle of prestige and blessing has not been moved, and no minister has dared to steal." ------ the one who covers the power, what the upper is, and it must not be too much to hold on. ”
There was a very special phenomenon in the Qianlong Dynasty, only the Ming Emperor had no famous subjects. Because Qianlong thought that he was very powerful, he did not need any famous ministers, and he also severely opposed the so-called "famous ministers."
In the Qianlong era of the Qing Dynasty, all the aura was concentrated on Qianlong alone, and all important decisions were decided by Qianlong alone. Imperial power has reached the peak of history, and the emperor's art of ruling and ruling has also reached the peak of history.
Then, how the Qianlong Emperor realized the monopoly of power step by step, the analysis is as follows:
Establishing a new image and negating the former dynasty is the first step that the Qianlong Emperor must take to the throne, how to achieve that both are compatible, the Qianlong Emperor has a confident mind, and he is very skillful in his measure, and the two are well integrated.
The Qianlong Emperor took over the throne in August of the thirteenth year of Yongzheng, and the first thing he did was to state that the old master was his father Yongzheng, and everyone was too strict, which was also no way, because my grandfather left a stall, my father took over, he had to use this strict means to deal with. However, now that I have changed brothers, I am on stage, we play together, no one pulls down, and no one can be less.
Then, the Qianlong Emperor began to recruit officials, gentry, and ordinary people. Three months after the Qianlong Emperor ascended the throne, that is, in November of the thirteenth year of Yongzheng, the Qianlong Emperor made a small statement, saying that his father left three exemplary governors, one is Ortai, one is Tian Wenjing, and the other is Li Wei, which is the three big role models, and we can know these three characters from the TV series.
The Qianlong Emperor made a thick-lined evaluation of these three people: Of these three, Ortai I like the most. Secondly, Li Wei is OK, and the worst is Tian Wenjing.
The Qianlong Emperor scolded Tian Wenjing, who turned out to be a good place in Henan, but after Tian Wenjing went to become an official, he forcefully promoted the integration of officials and gentry to receive grain, and made the officials and gentry and the common people in Henan complain. Moreover, there are still some ordinary people who go to ask for food, and under our prosperous era, the people of Henan in the Central Plains go to ask for food, and this is passed out, so where to put our faces.
Why qianlong scolded Tian Wenjing, one of the three, indeed, Tian Wenjing was not a very good person. However, it is not realistic for you to think that Li Wei and Ertai are stronger than Tian Wenjing. The only reason is that Tian Wenjing is no longer in the human world. Therefore, talking to the dead makes everyone not think too much.
In the second year of his reign, the Qianlong Emperor abolished the Yongzheng Emperor's "integrated grain collection of grain by officials and gentry", winning the praise of officials, gentry and ordinary people.
In this way, as soon as the Qianlong Emperor ascended to the throne, he immediately established a rather cute image in the imperial court and the public, much like a kung fu panda.
This is the cleverness of the Qianlong Emperor, and in fact it hides the germination of a heavenly son and a courtier.
However, the Qianlong Emperor knew that the time was not ripe, and at this time he still needed to put on a costume, and he had to put on a look of leniency and constantly release warm air.
The third step is to curry favor with the royal family. As everyone knows, during the Yongzheng period, in order to compete for the position of prince, resulting in brothers killing each other, the old eight and nine were killed, and the old fourteen and the old ten were locked up. At this time, the Qianlong Emperor ordered that both the tenth uncle and the fourteenth uncle be released, not only released, but also made a duke, and later, he was made a county king and restored to the status of Kangxi twilight.
This has a very good impact in the royal family, all say that the new master is beautiful and exquisite, is a good leader, praise and praise are incessant, do not stop in the hand, are active praise.
Through the three-step strategy, the imperial family, the imperial court, and the public all had a particularly good impression of the Qianlong Emperor.
At this time, there is a smooth sentence: "Qianlong Bao, increase life examination; Qianlong money, ten thousand years." The money made by Qianlong can prolong life, in contrast to the Song of Yongzheng Shi, "Yongzheng Money, Poor for Half a Year".
By negating the policies of the previous dynasty, the Qianlong Emperor received the expected results and established a new and lovely image.
In fact, the Qianlong Emperor belonged to the kind of vicious people, who looked harmonious on the surface, but in their bones they were dancing with teeth and claws.
In the thirteenth year of Qianlong, his face suddenly changed and became unknown to everyone.
Saying how to change his face like this, there is a head, and this head is that Fu Cha, the first empress of the Qianlong Emperor, died.
It seems that this yutou is very interesting, and the legend is that Queen Fucha fell into the water, which has been controversial in history.
The location is not disputed, it is in Dezhou City, Shandong Province. As for how she fell into the water, Noshi uploaded that the empress was indignant and chose to fall into the water herself.
In the TV series "Ruyi Zhuan", there is a plot: very strange, on the deck, it fell into the water, and someone did it.
In the TV series "Yanxi Raiders", it was expanded, and Empress Fucha jumped from the eaves of the Forbidden City because of the death of her beloved son, Qianlong's incomprehension, and Erqing's heart. Leave the last sentence: I am no longer the empress of the Qing Dynasty, I only do Fu cha Rong Yin.
But the history of the whole thing is covered up, and everything they try to cover up is what they don't want us to see, and this is common sense.
Anyway, Empress Fucha died suddenly in Dezhou, and as soon as she died, the Qianlong Emperor was overwhelmed and began his carefully planned purging operation.
From the funeral of Empress Xiaoxian in the thirteenth year of Qianlong, the Qianlong Emperor turned his face, causing the relatively calm eunuch sea in the early years of Qianlong to suddenly set off waves, which was the watershed of his rule.
Since then, the imperial court has repeatedly created major unjust cases, and many famous big figures have been reduced to prisoners overnight, which has triggered a series of Qing court bureaucrats who have been deposed and even given death, and soon a group of ministers under their command have been obediently trained, and the ministers have been completely tamed into slaves, and all the ministers are trembling and trembling, and they are proud of their slaves.
As a result, the policies and principles of the Qianlong Emperor's rule changed from leniency to strictness, to a new ruling pattern and ruling style, from a cute panda to a dragon with teeth and claws.
