Yongzheng was an emperor of Wen Tao and Martial Strategy, who killed decisively and vigorously all his life. During his reign, he gave his subordinates a lot of trust, and of course there were also hated ministers. He said cheerfully, "Shuo is such a man", and his personality can also be seen from this. As a person with a frank personality, the emotional ups and downs are also very large. When he favors a minister, he will love him very much and can give him many things, but when he does not like a minister, he is not satisfied with a minister, and when the minister does something that makes him angry, he will not show the slightest mercy to him.
Typical examples are Cologne Duo and Nian Qianyao, who had made great contributions to the rule of the Yongzheng Emperor, and it can be said that without their help, there would be no such solid rule of the Yongzheng Emperor. When the ninth son took the throne, Yongzheng, as the fourth prince, was able to ascend to the throne precisely because of these two heroes. Nian Qianyao, as a military general, nominally assisted the Fourteen Brothers who were far away in the northwest, but in fact, he monitored the competitors who held the military power for the Four Brothers, that is, the future Yongzheng. As the only person around Kangxi when he passed the throne, Könlongdo had the most say in the ownership of the throne. It was precisely these two heroes who were ruthlessly eliminated by Yongzheng after Yongzheng ascended to the throne because of their pride in their merits and overstepping the relationship between kings and subjects. In addition, most of the important ministers Zhang Tingyu, Tian Wenjing, and Ortai, who were favored by Yongzheng, were also affected, or dismissed from their posts to investigate and handle, or exiled.
During the Yongzheng Dynasty, the only special existence, Yongzheng never blamed him, and this person's promotion speed was also very fast. As the emperor's favorite, Yongzheng's feelings for him, according to his own words, are "the praise of the heart, the pen can not be exhausted". Usually for him too
Many praises, among The many favored subjects of Yongzheng, are also unique. This person is Li Wei.
So, what exactly made Li Wei gain the unique favor of the Yongzheng Emperor and remain evergreen?
First of all, the most important reason is that Li Wei's family background is innocent, which makes Yongzheng very relieved to use. Li Wei's family is innocent, no one in the family is an official, just an ordinary rich and noble family, not to mention a relative of the emperor and the state, and his own level of education is not very high, but he relies on donating officials to become an ordinary member of the foreign lang. Such a background made the Yongzheng Emperor very relieved, and Li Wei was cautious and careful, loyal, and devoted to doing good errands for the emperor, so Yongzheng loved him very much.
Secondly, Li Wei is very capable of doing things and has a good way of doing things.
During Yongzheng's reign, the most difficult problem was the financial problem. Li Wei was originally Hubu Langzhong, who had considerable financial talents at that time, so he was very handy when he applied these talents to help Yongzheng solve financial problems, which led to Yongzheng's reuse and promotion of him.
Third, Li Wei was meticulous in his work, good at solving some difficult problems, and was deeply loved by the emperor. The Manchus entered the Central Plains and set extremely strict demands on the field of literature, severely cracking down on the literati. At that time, Yongzheng forbade literati from Jiangsu and Zhejiang to take the exam, which led to a lot of complaints from people in this area. At that time, Li Wei happened to be an official in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, so he actively made friends with the local literati and inkers, asked them to actively show loyalty to the emperor, and then passed these words to Yongzheng's ears, and the Yongzheng Emperor was very happy after hearing this, lifted the ban, and allowed them to participate in the imperial examination. This avoided many unnecessary disputes and rebellions, and reduced the dissatisfaction of the people with the emperor. This not only solved the problem of intellectual dissatisfaction, but also improved the emperor's reputation and status in the hearts of the literati.
Finally, I think the most important point is that Li Wei is not afraid of power and dares to fight. During the Yongzheng Dynasty, there were many people who embezzled money and perverted the law, and the reason for this was the slackness of the government in the later years of Kangxi. Among them, there are many relatives of the emperor and his important subjects. At that time, When Li Wei was serving as a household minister, the subordinates of a prince at that time always collected more than they needed when collecting money, and when others questioned him, his subordinates used the prince to suppress others, saying that the prince asked for it and had to do so. After Li Wei knew, he specially set up a cabinet with four big words "A certain king wins money." When the prince learned of this, he had no face to face and had to give up. Li Wei's character of not being afraid of the magnate Yongzheng was very appreciative.
It is precisely because of these advantages and characteristics of Li Wei that the Yongzheng Emperor loved it, so that his life was deeply valued by the emperor, and he was able to start well and end well, and his life was smooth.
