Speaking of qing emperors, the first things we think of must be Kangxi and Qianlong. Because these two are the protagonists of Kangqian's prosperity. Often the pay and the harvest are directly proportional, but there is a Qing emperor whose pay is largely ignored, he is the Yongzheng between Kangqian and Qian.
When it comes to Yongzheng, I always feel that I am not a good emperor, and my reputation is very poor. It is rumored that even his ascension to the throne was an illegal usurpation, achieved through a change of holy will. Moreover, the Ninth King's conquest of Zhongyongzheng was very cruel, and after he ascended the throne, he even made his brothers very miserable, directly eliminating his eighth brother from the clan and reducing him to a commoner.
People only know Yongzheng's cruelty and inhumanity, but they ignore his efforts and his contribution to the Qing Dynasty. The emperor reigned for thirteen years, and during his reign he did not dare to slacken off for a day, and did not even have time to go to the harem every day. Counting Yongzheng's children, it is clear that there are only six brothers in total. But thankless, people's evaluation of him is not as good as his son who is six under Jiangnan.
Yongzheng also established the Military Aircraft Department and strengthened the centralization of power in the Qing Dynasty. However, there was no major rebellion during Yongzheng's reign, which led him to make political achievements, and he also put down a Lobzang Tenzin rebellion. Unlike Qianlong, who gathered ten great merits and became an emperor for thousands of years.
Yong is a person with relatively bad luck, he has ambitions, but he meets a father like Kangxi. The Kangxi Emperor was good at everything else, but he did a very bad job in passing the throne, and it was his indisclination that caused the Nine Kings to take the throne. Moreover, Kangxi lived a long life, and by the time Yongzheng stood out and became emperor, he was already 45 years old.
Speaking of Yongzheng's ascension to the throne, many people say that it was a tampering with the edict of succession, and the fourteenth brother of the succession was changed to the fourth brother. It's hilarious, it's bragging and not playing drafts. At that time, the Edict of succession of the Qing Dynasty was written in Manchu, not In Chinese. Moreover, at that time, Chinese was a traditional character, not a simplified character. So this thing is absolutely fake.
We all know that the Yuanmingyuan is Yongzheng's, in fact, when Kangxi gave the Yuanmingyuan to Yongzheng, he already meant that he was the successor. But there is a sad thing. In later generations, many people believed that Kangxi passed on to Yongzheng not to like him, but to look at Qianlong. It was yongzheng that was passed on to Qianlong. Yongzheng was so embarrassed.
No matter what the reason, no matter what people think, Yongzheng will do a good job when he becomes emperor. Every day, I tried hard to make sure that I didn't even have time to sleep, and the time I could use was used. In order to stabilize the political situation, he cleaned up the powerful Nian Tangyao, Roncodo and others. But the reason to scold him came again.
Because of his prey on the heroes, Yongzheng suffered a treacherous insult. To tell the truth, which emperor is not ruthless? Zhu Yuanzhang, didn't they all slaughter the heroes too? Isn't brotherly rivalry more commonplace in the royal family? Why only Yongzheng was scolded.
Yongzheng was actually the hardest emperor. He had to work hard. He did not ascend the throne at the age of six, as his father Kangxi did, and became emperor with ease. Nor is there no competitor like his son Qianlong. He gave too much. So he needed to vent when he took office, and he packed up his competitors. Qianlong did not understand this, and he also restored the eighth uncle whose father had eliminated the clan to the imperial family. This is a bit of a bummer.
Yongzheng worked hard for thirteen years, and it was a good connection between Kangqian and the prosperous world, especially when he cleared the road for Qianlong and saved a lot of money. It was with Yongzheng that the Qing Dynasty could prosper. Without Yongzheng, the Qing emperor would have perished at least a hundred years earlier, just like the Ming emperor. I hope that everyone can be kind to the Yongzheng Emperor, evaluate him objectively, and don't hack him!
