At the opening volume of Yuan Ming's Suiyuan Poetry of the Qing Dynasty, these poems are mentioned:
"The mirror bearer will be old, and the grass for opening the door will not be born." - Essillin Xianggong,"Xin Ugly Yuan Day"
"It seems that forty years will be known." - "Yong Huai" by Essai Lin Xianggong
So-called
Xianggong of Exi Lin refers to one of the most favored ministers of the Yongzheng period
"Ortai".
These poems were composed when he was in his inability to aspire in the Kangxi Dynasty, when he was in his forties, but he could not be reused for a long time, in the above poems we can see that Ortai already had plans to retire in his heart, and at that time he probably never imagined that his fate would change drastically after Yongzheng took the throne.
The Yongzheng Emperor attached great importance to talents, and on the employment of personnel, he once proposed: the way to govern the world, for the employment of people, everything else is a matter of branches and leaves. At the same time, he also had very high requirements for feudal officials, and he must have the ability to command, screen, cultivate, and discipline subordinates.
Ortai was not ambitious in the Kangxi Dynasty, so why could he become a confidant of Yongzheng? These three things helped him fight back
。
Ertai was a feudal official, and in terms of identifying and using talents, he was indeed a high-ranking person, and he was very appreciated by the Yongzheng Emperor.
Ertai was very knowledgeable, and he also knew what kind of officials the Yongzheng Dynasty needed, and the way of employing talents could be said to be the best use of talents, without the slightest personal feelings. The Yongzheng Emperor not only consulted Ortai for the three southwestern provinces, but also delegated the power to employ people to him.
First, it is to assume responsibility and cultivate talents.
Ortai never participated in the impeachment of people, never killed people with a stick, he was able to accommodate the shortcomings of others, and patiently helped officials who had deficiencies, thus cultivating talents.
Zhang Guangsi and Zhang Yun, along with them until the Qianlong period, were both high-ranking officials sitting in the southwest, and the famous generals of the Qing Dynasty were all under the command of Ortai.
Zhang Guangsi was a red flag bearer in the Han Army. In the fourth year of Yongzheng's transfer to Chuxiong in Yunnan, he asked Ortai to take Guzhou, and Ortai transferred him to the prefect of Liping and ordered him to prepare. In the sixth year of Yongzheng, Zhang Guangsi went to Kunming to ask Ortai for instructions on military strategy. Ortai set up banquets and sang songs, talked and laughed incessantly, but did not talk about military affairs. Seeing that the sky was about to fall, Zhang Guangsi had no choice but to ask for advice on the strategy of the war, but he did not expect ortai to be disappointed to say that perhaps he had used the wrong people, transported grain and grass, and prepared armor, and also asked the old man, the situation of the war march is changeable, there are many things that need to be adapted to change, which can be won according to the plan approved in advance! Zhang Guangsi was stunned by his words. Sure enough, later Zhang Guangsi easily obtained the strategic location of Guzhou.
Based on the Yongzheng Emperor's trust in Ortai, Zhang Guangsi was appointed as an envoy from the prefect of Liping, and was promoted to governor of Guizhou after only half a year.
Zhang Yunsui is also a Han bannerman. In the last years of the Kangxi Dynasty, he served as the prefect of Chuxiong in Yunnan. Soon after Ortai arrived, Zhang Yun asked him to manage the copper factory and was promoted to grain storage. In June of the fifth year of Yongzheng, he was appointed as an envoy, and half a year later he was promoted to envoy. Yunnan produced copper for the minting of coins, but due to insufficient quantities, the Qing government issued a document to purchase foreign copper from Japan. Zhang Yun immediately began to rectify the copper factory, which could harvest eight or nine million catties of copper every year. So the Qing government stopped purchasing foreign copper, and since then the mining industry has been booming and the people are happy.
In May of the eighth year of Yongzheng, Yongzheng appointed Ge Sen as an envoy to Yunnan, and Zhang Yun, who had been an envoy in Yunnan for nearly three years, was transferred to Guizhou as a political envoy.
After understanding Yongzheng's intentions, Through comparative analysis, Ortai believed that Zhang Yunsui had been serving in Yunnan for a long time and was more familiar with the dangers of the mountains and rivers, the interests of the county and the country, and the situation of ethnic minorities, and strongly recommended that Zhang Yunsui still stay in Yunnan. After that, Zhang Yun was promoted to the governor of Yunnan, and it was not until the twelfth year of Qianlong that he was promoted to the governor of Yungui, and qianlong was awarded the title of Eastern Cabinet University Scholar in the fifteenth year.
Second, it is sincere help and love talents.
Ertai has been in charge of Yungui for six years, and whether he can command and coordinate the provincial officials of two or three provinces is an important test for him. Because the provincial officials were all appointed by the emperor, there were at least a dozen senior members in various positions.
In February of the fourth year of Yongzheng, Guizhou lacked an envoy, and Yongzheng proposed to use Manchus, and Yushi was born. The chancellor recommended Fugui, and Yongzheng sent him to Guizhou as an envoy. In the winter of that year, Ertai went to Guizhou to try the Miao case, and Fugui, as an envoy and the highest judicial official in a province, did not know that he did not know that many things could not be dealt with.
Ortai did not blame Fugui, considering that Fugui was serving as a magistrate for the first time, it was reasonable to be unfamiliar. Therefore, after every case is tried, it is necessary to tell the rich man so naturally, which can be said to be taught to him by hand. But after all, he was only shallow in learning, did not read much, never made any great progress, and was not the material for being a magistrate at all.
Even so, Ortai did not impeach him, but gave him the opportunity and sincerely helped him. Rich and noble from the imperial history, is the inspector, not to mention that he was recommended by the minister, and summoned by the emperor to appoint, if impeached will definitely cause dissatisfaction among the imperial historians, so until Yongzheng inquired, Ortai clearly gave his opinion.
Jin Hao was a man of the Han Army with a white flag. During the second and third years of Yongzheng, Yongzheng supported the Shanxi Governor Nuomin in implementing the practice of returning to the public at the time, and Jin Hao, who was the prefect of Taiyuan, Shanxi at the time, explicitly opposed this policy, proposing that "wealth is better than below", Yongzheng saw that he dared to tell the truth, and appointed him as the governor of Guangxi. When Yongzheng had doubts about his ability and sought Ortai's opinion, Ortai affirmed what he had done from the perspective of talent; when the Yongzheng Emperor wanted to dismiss him, At the crucial moment, Ortai explained and coordinated with the Yongzheng Emperor. Jin Hao's inspector of Guangxi has always been during the Qianlong period, which is relatively rare in the Yongzheng period. It can be said that Ortai's interpretation, protection and coordination have played an important role.
Third, it is the importance of state affairs and the recommendation of talents.
Hao Yulin was a white flag bearer of the Han Army. Yongzheng was appointed viceroy of Yunnan in the first year of the reign of Yunnan, and was the highest military official in Yunnan Province.
After Ortai arrived at his post, the two of them cooperated well in the land reform, and the two cooperated very well. In the sixth year of Yongzheng, Yongzheng wanted Hao Yulin to serve as an overseer and seek ortel's opinion. After receiving the edict, Ortai was very cautious, and he first made a comparative analysis of the people who had changed from military personnel to civilian feudal officials in recent years, and gave an evaluation of Hao Yulin, understood the facts, and knew both Manchu Andhan. The post of a major official in Xinjiang is not relatively simple like that of a military official, but more importantly, it can control the civil and military forces and be responsible for the people's livelihood of a province. Hao Yulin was able to take on this role, and then recommended him to Yongzhengyong.
In August of the sixth year of Yongzheng, Tian Wenjing recommended to Yongzheng his in-laws, Yao Yinghe, the prefect of Ningzhou, Yunnan, saying that he was learned, of good character, and a talent.
Yongzheng concealed the name of the recommender and issued an edict to consult Ortai's opinion, and after ortai reported on his biography, he believed that he had a small pattern, no insight, and nothing outstanding in governance, and that he could still be competent as a tongzhi, a small prefect, or a sub-prefect, and that it was inappropriate to hold a higher position.
Later, Yongzheng told him that there were three people who recommended him, and they were also Tian Wenjing's in-laws, asking him to pay attention to it and give him timely guidance, but later, Ortai did not reuse Yao Yinghe.
In short, Ertai attaches great importance to state affairs in the employment of personnel, and never reuses people who are calculating fame and fortune and selling fame and reputation. Cherish talented people, tolerate their shortcomings, and give help and encouragement. It can be said that it is the "Bole" who has made great contributions to Yongzheng's governance of state affairs.
