Recently this Qing palace drama is very hot, so in many ways, Yongzheng is the real scheming emperor among so many emperors in the Qing Dynasty, but also has the ruthlessness that an emperor should have, during his reign, the policies he promoted were basically terrible, and very strict power rule, there are his eyes and ears everywhere in the people, and the law is very strict, that just listening to it has to make people tremble, not only do you feel that these policies implemented by Yongzheng are terrible, in the last years of the Qing Dynasty, There are many novels circulating in the folk, such as "Qing History", etc., and the novels describe Yongzheng as very brutal.
So among the so many rumors of Yongzheng, the only one that makes people most afraid is the "sticky pole" he set up, few people have heard of this place today, and the records about it are very few, so more people are curious about this organization, what kind of place is this "sticky pole"? Why is it so frightening to hear it? In the relevant historical records, the "sticky rod" of the Kangxi period was mainly to catch animals such as clams or cicadas, and to provide fishing tools and services for those who helped the royal family.
When Yongzheng was not yet emperor, he had his own mansion outside, there were a lot of trees in the mansion at that time, and there were always cicadas and other bugs in the autumn, which made Yongzheng very annoyed, because he personally liked to be quiet, so he specially sent people to take those poles to catch such cicadas, so the "sticky pole" also existed, in the 48th year of Kangxi, Yongzheng was named the Prince of Heshuo Yong, and the most famous incident of the nine sons in history was officially heated up.
Among the nine people, Yongzheng showed that he was indisputable from the world, but in fact, behind his back, he also worked hard for the matter of contending for the reserve, and the "sticky rod" he set up was to let Yongzheng become one of the emperor's helpers, because this group of heat was ostensibly just helping Yongzheng to catch cicadas, making people relax their vigilance, but in fact, secretly they had their own operations, these family members sent to catch cicadas were all very powerful, they were all trained, that is, yongzheng to check intelligence, and then get rid of opponents, Yongzheng can become emperor, In addition to his own strength, it is these "sticky rods" that are his best helpers.
After Yongzheng successfully became emperor, on the one hand, he had to stabilize his imperial power, and on the other hand, in order to continue to eliminate those who opposed him, he formally established the "Sticky Pole Department" in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the leader of the Sticky Pole Department must be a person who has made great merits to serve, and those who can work in the Sticky Pole Are the old people in the former yongzheng palace, and these people are called "Sticky Pole Worship Tang".
This institution is very special, and the role is the same as before, ostensibly to serve the royal family members to play, in fact, is a special service to Yongzheng an organization, in the third year of Yongzheng, the previous prince's palace was renamed Lama Temple, after the change, the roof of the Lama Temple is still green glass pills, and it is not changed to yellow again, in fact, because the headquarters of the sticky pole office was set up here.
Although it is said that it has been changed to a palace, but its structure is different from the palace, which also highlights the mystery of this organization, not only that, I heard that there is a distribution in the Forbidden City, they are mainly the back and forth of the daily day shift and night shift, the purpose is to monitor the actions of the people in the palace, these people are Yongzheng's confidants, is his murderous blade, it is really frightening.
