In ancient times, in order to win over officials and form their own power, emperors often promised officials various benefits, such as official positions, such as rewards. And this reward is also divided into two kinds, one is a more intuitive material reward, such as gold and silver jewelry or something. The other is a reward that symbolizes glory, such as the Purple Golden Light Doctor, which is a symbol of glory, and the ancient officials' dreams of the marquis, are all a symbol of glory.
However, to ask the glory of the ancient courtiers the highest symbol of glory, it is also worthy of the Taimiao Temple. The Taimiao Temple is the ancestral temple of the ancient emperors, dedicated to the emperors of the feudal dynasties. In fact, the Taimiao Temple was first only dedicated to the emperor, and later the emperor in order to win over the heroes, but also allowed some meritorious people to enter the Taimiao Temple, ancient times called this system "worthy of the Taimiao", since the implementation of this system, there are very few courtiers who enter the Taimiao, worthy of the Taimiao, is also the ultimate dream of the ancient courtiers.
In the dynasties established by some ethnic minorities, due to discrimination against the Han people, there are very few Hanchen who can enter the Taimiao Temple, taking the last feudal dynasty in China, the Qing Dynasty, only one Hanchen entered the Taimiao Temple, and this person is the evergreen tree in the political arena in the middle of the Qing Dynasty - Zhang Tingyu.
Zhang Tingyu was born in Tongcheng, Anhui Province, and his family is very famous in the local area. When he was a child, Zhang Tingyu was very intelligent and very studious, and at the age of only twenty-nine, he passed the jinshi examination, and coupled with his father's appointment as an official in the court, Kangxi was quite important, so Kang awarded him the Hanlin Yuan Shujishi.
After that, Kangxi admired his talents and learning, allowed him to enter the South Study to run errands, and specially allowed him to wear the sipin official uniform. Zhang Tingyu did have talent and learning, and he had some ideas about some things, so he was very much valued by Kangxi, and he took him everywhere he went, and when he toured the Mongol departments in the north and personally conquered the Jungar Department, there was Zhang Tingyu's figure. And he was also promoted little by little because of his merits.
Later, when Kangxi died and Yongzheng took the throne, he was anxious to cultivate his own power, so he tried his best to win Zhang Tingyu over. When Yongzheng set up the Military Aircraft Department, Zhang Tingyu was among the first batch of military aircraft ministers, and Yongzheng also ordered him to compile the canonical system of the Military Aircraft Department. At the same time, he returned to the South Study on duty, during which he also presided over the imperial examination, and was the head of the Han courtiers in the imperial court.
In the thirteenth year of Yongzheng, Yongzheng was critically ill, and he hurriedly summoned Zhang Tingyu, Yunlu and others as ministers to assist the Qianlong Emperor, zhang Tingyu was the only Han courtier, and at the same time, Yongzheng also granted Zhang Tingyu the right to enjoy the Taimiao Temple. After the Qianlong Emperor ascended the throne, he immediately appointed Zhang Tingyu as the crown prince's master and was responsible for teaching the crown prince.
We all know that Qianlong was a playful emperor who often went down to Jiangnan. And after he leaves, someone has to handle the affairs. At that time, the princes were still young, and the others Qianlong believed that he still felt that Zhang Tingyu was more suitable, so he ordered him to be the prime minister of government affairs, and in order to facilitate Zhang Tingyu's handling of government affairs, he was specially allowed to live in the Forbidden City, which was a great honor at that time.
But after Zhang Tingyu grew old, his temper and disposition changed, and he was stubborn and sensitive. Because there was a little unhappiness between a few small things and Qianlong, qianlong was later angered by the matter of enjoying the Taimiao Temple, and Qianlong actually disqualified him from enjoying the Taimiao Temple. However, after Zhang Tingyu's death, Qianlong will still let him enjoy the Taimiao Temple, which can also be regarded as an affirmation of Zhang Tingyu, the elder of the Three Dynasties.
Throughout Zhang Tingyu's life, as the elder of the Three Dynasties, he worked loyally for the Qing Empire, taught three generations of princes, and handled countless major events for the Empire, which can be described as a model for Han Chen, and even the entire Qing Dynasty courtiers at that time, and it is also appropriate to enjoy the Taimiao Temple after death!
