(Wen Shijun's interpretation of the Yongzheng Dynasty, No. 8)
"Yongzheng Dynasty" drama, adapted from February River's novel "Yongzheng Emperor", has been attracting audiences of all ages since its launch in 1999, and has been enduring for more than 20 years, and has been named a classic of palace fighting dramas.
In terms of actors, starring Jiao Huang, Tang Guoqiang, Du Yulu, Wang Huichun and other national first-class actors, it can be described as a heavyweight group of heroes.
In terms of directing, the director is Hu Mei, who can be called the "film and television industry" Mulan, and has contributed fist works such as "Yongzheng Dynasty", "Han Wu Emperor", and the new version of "Dream of the Red Chamber".
With a luxurious creative lineup, a wonderful plot with ups and downs, and a meticulous performance by the actors, "Yongzheng Dynasty" is active in major broadcast platforms, and the Douban score has scored an impressive score of 9.3.
There are also young people who work hard in the workplace, who regard it as a workplace textbook, talk to leaders, get along with colleagues, and talk about business with customers, all of which learn from the routines of the people in the play.
For example, the first scene at the beginning of the play, "Qianqing Palace Discussion", the first confrontation of several protagonists, contains our vital art of speaking in the workplace.
The Qianqing Palace discussed politics in the background of the Yellow River flood in the forty-sixth year of the Kangxi Dynasty.
The soaring floods have led to the multiple breaches of the embankment in Henan and Shandong, not only flooding a large number of houses and fields, but also jumping out of the millions of homeless and hungry victims at once.
In response, the supreme leader, Kangxi, was so anxious that he kept turning the rosary beads in his hands, and his eyes stayed on the couplets on the pillars on both sides of the throne:
"Manifest the ten thousand nations, be cautious and cultivate The Eternal; The Five Classics of Hongshi, there is no light civil difficulty."
These two sentences, literally, are complicated to interpret.
But from the perspective of "no light civility", in fact, the meaning is simple, take our current words, it is the Qing Dynasty version of "serving the people". Kangxi stared at these two sentences, although the lens is simple, but the deep meaning behind it is extraordinary.
Obviously, this is the main line of thought that the play "Yongzheng Dynasty" wants to express.
And this is also the ultimate criterion for the supreme decision-maker, Kangxi, to examine each son in the upcoming outbreak of the Nine Sons. It can even be concluded that if any son can achieve "no light civility", then he is Kangxi's silent successor.
The first to win the bid was Prince Yinrong.
The same is the flood of the Yellow River, the same is the heavy rain of thunder and lightning outside the palace. Kangxi was pacing back and forth, anxious, but what about him, the legal heir? However, he took the cover of heavy rain and staged a passion play with his stepmother Zheng Chunhua in the rock cave of the royal garden.
It can be seen that the father and son can be said to be incompatible in the treatment of "no light civility". At this point in the plot, it has been implied that the prince Yinrong will eventually be abandoned by his father Kangxi.
When Yin Rong was finished, he finally sneaked into the main hall.
The crown prince was the crown prince, the future emperor, and Kangxi was eager to be the first to hear his opinion:
"You are the prince, you say, what to do"
At this time, the prince was estimated that he had not yet come out of the passion play just now, and could not concentrate on thinking, so he played a careful eye and transformed Kangxi's short answer questions into fill-in-the-blank questions:
"Disaster relief should be done immediately, and the embankment should be repaired immediately."
However, Kangxi was not satisfied with such a standard official article, so he further added:
"How to provide disaster relief? How to build a river embankment? ”
At this point, the prince was knocked on the corner of the wall, searching the intestines and scraping his stomach, but there was no dry goods, and he could only kick the ball back to Kangxi:
"This... Emperor Amma is wise and decisive, and has his own opinions."
Dare to love, Kangxi waited for the late prince for so long, Zheng'er Bajing asked for the opinion of this second-in-command, but asked and asked, but asked a lonely. This made Kangxi a little angry, and the atmosphere on the scene became even more awkward.
This prince was worried, and the old nine yin and old ten yin over there were secretly laughing. Only to see the two quickly exchange a look, a schadenfreude meme.
At this time, the old Eight Yin Qi, who had been dormant for a long time, saw that the prince in front of him had lost his feet, and the heat was almost the same, so he walked out of the queue and began to perform his own:
"A Yellow River, flooded through the ages. In all the dynasties and dynasties, in which year was the people not suffering from the yellow plague? However, since Emperor Ama became a country, he has worked hard to govern the river, and the people have been spared the disaster of the Yellow River for nearly thirty years. Throughout the annals of history, those who governed the Yellow River in ancient times not only did not have the merits of Emperor Amma, but also did not have the sincerity of Emperor Amma. This time the yellow plague suddenly occurred, not in the personnel affairs, is purely a natural disaster, the emperor Ama with the heart of the people can be worried, but the intention of self-guilt is not necessary. ”
Old Eight's words generally have two meanings.
The first is to comfort the anxious Kangxi.
Father, the problem of flooding in the Yellow River has existed since the beginning of the Great Yu ZhiShui, which dynasty has not been able to completely eradicate it, and it is not a rare thing to spread to our Great Qing Dynasty.
The second is to pat Kangxi's ass.
Father, you have governed the Yellow River for so many years, compared with the previous dynasties, you have compressed the flood problem to the minimum, so it is not that your Yellow River water conservancy project is not in place.
It's going to rain, the mother is going to get married, the Yellow River is caused by natural disasters, at this moment, Daddy you treat it as an emergency, deploy disaster relief on the line, there is no need to blame yourself here.
I have to say that Lao Ba's words of singing merit and praise are indeed quite clever, and Kangxi is a little fluttery when he hears it.
True to that sentence, wear thousands of clothes, horse ass do not wear.
However, not everyone at the scene was taken out of rhythm, and the old thirteenth Yinxiang questioned:
"Brother Myna, don't forget that in the forty-third year of the Kangxi Dynasty, the Yellow River also sent a big flood!"
At this point, it is a very test of the old eight's resilience. Only to see his eyes roll, follow the words of the old thirteen, and then gushed endlessly:
"This is exactly what I want to say, in the forty-third year of the Kangxi Dynasty, when the Yellow River was flooded, the governors of various places exaggerated the disaster situation infinitely in order to take silver from the national treasury, and the result was that the number of prefectures and counties and the number of people who reported the disaster were very inconsistent with the actual situation, so the sons and daughters dared to assert that the report of the disaster was not as huge as it was on the fold."
Boy! Old Eight's ability to speak eloquently is really not covered. A few words of the on-the-spot organization, to justify themselves, are really a watertight, and the situation just now has been brought back again.
Moreover, the teammate Old Ten is also very powerful, and immediately responds with solidarity:
"Eight are right!"
The rhythm of the whole scene was suddenly thrown to the side of the old eight, and the ministers at the bottom whispered about this "feasible plan".
And Lao Ba, himself, seized the opportunity to push the atmosphere to the final climax:
"The most urgent thing at the moment is nothing more than money and food. First, we should immediately surrender the nearby provinces in the disaster area and order them to immediately transfer grain to the disaster area; second, immediately demote the Ministry of Households and allocate silver and silver from the state treasury to repair the river. ”
Look, the old eight's thinking, the front and back are clear, to the point, the countermeasures are specific, the head is the Tao, listening to Kangxi and the ministers, they all feel very reasonable, compared to the prince who is fragmented, I don't know how much more clever.
If there is no accident, the response measures to the Yellow River flood will be generally formulated according to the plan of lao ba.
But the accident came, and the old fourth Yin Chan, who had not arrived for a long time, cut off the beard!
"Sons and daughters, there is something to play"
At the same time, he took off his cloak to block the rain and threw it at the eunuch on the side, obviously braving the heavy rain outside the door.
And we carefully observe, the picture of the fourth elder kneeling towards Kangxi, he and the old eight are kneeling side by side, the old eight is a clean white sole, but the fourth is a wet black sole.
Seeing this, Wen Shijun first gave the details of the crew to deal with, and gave a big thumbs up, which is also too in place!
When I learned that the fourth elder went to the household department to check the national inventory of silver and the actual number of grain stored in several neighboring provinces in the disaster area, the old eight, the old nine, and the old ten immediately did not calm down.
Old Ten Preemptive Attack:
"Hubu is the myna who is in charge, and the fourth brother is the yue li dai"
The fourth can not eat this set:
"Emperor Amma once said to his sons that he should pay more attention to state affairs in peacetime, and that if there are important suggestions for military, government, and civil affairs, he should always give them to Emperor Amma and the crown prince."
The hand of the fourth elder is really beautiful! In Kangxi's words, the old ten were firmly topped back. Your old ten said that I crossed the line, and the dog took care of the rats, but this idle thing, but our father told me to manage it, how old are you ten?
After the top ten, the fourth elder then released a big move:
According to the investigation of the sons, there is no grain to be adjusted in the neighboring provinces, and the household department has almost no money to allocate. At present, the treasury silver that the household department can allocate is less than 500,000 taels, and it is necessary to provide disaster relief, repair embankments, and pay a cup of water, at least 2 million taels of silver! ”
Moreover, the fourth elder also took out the detailed bills obtained by copying the old eight household departments.
However, the first person to be hammered was Emperor Kangxi, who almost spat out a mouthful of old blood:
"Over the years, Xuan Ye handed over state affairs to the crown prince, and you brothers coordinated to handle them, and now it has become like this!" None of us know? ”
In his later years, Kangxi, with the aging of his body, the spirit of capturing Aobai, Ping San Francisco, collecting Taiwan, and pro-conquest of Gardan has long ceased to exist. At this time, it is more appropriate to emphasize his role as "old father" than to say that he is an emperor.
This old father, counting on a large group of sons, to shoulder the heavy administrative affairs of the imperial court for himself, poured infinite trust in them, thinking that with the model of "clan and country", he could manage the entire empire and continue to prosper towards prosperity.
However, excessive indulgence has caused a household deficit, leaving only a mess of 500,000 taels of silver, what Kangxi prosperity, what motherland mountains and rivers are red, all of which are just dreams.
However, under the imminent flooding of the Yellow River, these can only be put back.
Here, we are going to insert a workplace unspoken rule.
For the leaders, we have raised questions, and at the same time, we must also provide solutions to solve problems. Otherwise, you are just taking advantage of the leader and can't get half a favor.
This time, the prince suffered a loss, and he suffered a loss because he did not have a plan to solve the disaster relief and repair the river embankment.
The old eight have a plan, appropriations, and grain transportation. But he has this account in his heart more than anyone else, and the national treasury of the household department has bottomed out. In the company, this is a dangerous employee, dare to deceive and make false accounts!
Lifting the toilet lid is the old four Yin Chan, and there are also supporting solutions:
"Allocate 400,000 taels of treasury silver to buy grain from rich households in the zhili area to solve the urgent need, and the rest of the shortage will be sent to Jiangnan to raise funds to buy grain, help the disaster victims to spend the winter, and repair the damaged river embankment."
Looking back at the previous article, the couplet that Kangxi was staring at, the four words "no light civil", the fourth elder this time in the disaster relief countermeasures, is taken into account.
This point was very good in Kangxi's heart. It is foreseeable that as long as the fourth elder can continue to follow the guiding ideology of "no light civility" and do everything in Kangxi's heart, then the road to winning the wife will also be able to come to fruition.
