Although the emperor Qianlong was blown to the sky by the TV series, he was actually a playboy who could only do oil poetry. Moreover, the Qianlong Emperor, who had a pleasant smile on television, was actually a mean and unkind executioner, and the number of court officials he created and slaughtered almost exceeded the sum of the other emperors of the Qing Dynasty -- this cannot even be hidden by the "Draft History of the Qing Dynasty", and the Qing Dynasty was in decline from qianlong's hands, and if he had not been so proud of his achievements, the Qing Dynasty would not have been beaten so badly later. However, to say that Qianlong has not done a single good thing is not objective, Qianlong seems to have done a good thing in his life, and after this good thing was done, people with three surnames in later generations refused to recognize their ancestors.
As we all know, before the old lady Cixi came to power, the eunuchs of the Qing Dynasty were very sad, not to mention that compared with the Tang Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, there was a world of difference compared to the Song Dynasty -- even if Cixi said it, the flying eunuch An Dehai was beheaded by Ding Baozhen for three days, and he did not receive any punishment, because the "ancestral system" was there: "Eunuchs leave Beijing privately, and everyone is cursed." The Eunuch Youling was not allowed to interfere in politics, and this rule was strictly enforced from the Shunzhi Emperor: "Shizu (Fu Lin, also known as Qing Shizu and Emperor Zhang), recognized the drawbacks of eunuchs, and established an iron medal in the Jiaotai Hall, and abstained from interfering in political affairs by internal officials, and officials were not allowed to pass the four products. In the Yongzheng period, the life of the eunuch Youling was even more difficult, and one of the singers asked "who is the prefect of a certain place", and was beaten to death by Yongzheng's order.
Qianlong's diligence and love for the people are not at all like Yongzheng, but in the strict control of the eunuchs, it is green out of blue that is better than blue. There was a eunuch named Gao Congyun who mixed up a little bit of the affairs of the imperial court, and was directly executed by Qianlong ordering Ling Chi: "There are Gao Yun followers, who interfere slightly in foreign affairs, that is, obey the will of the ancestors of the world, and die immediately." ”
Seeing that the emperor Lao Er was often killing the eunuchs, Qianlong's first favorite courtier was not willing to show weakness. Just as the so-called upward and downward effects are good and the lower will be very good, and He yan is also unkind to pick up the eunuchs. One day, a group of small eunuchs were chatting together, and they inadvertently mentioned the three words "Liang Guozhi", which was heard by the passing Hezhen and immediately became angry: "Arrest these little rabbit cubs for me!" ”
As we all know, He Yan is a very good person, and his relationship with the eunuchs is also very harmonious, and the eunuchs' favorite thing to do is to go to Hefu to convey Qianlong's dictations and holy wills -- when they go to other people's homes, they will give some scattered silver as tea money, and He Yan will be golden melon seeds or even gold yuanbao as soon as he shoots, in order for the eunuchs to "inadvertently" reveal some of Qianlong's joys and sorrows. Of course, He Yan was not brain-dead enough to let the little eunuch say good things in front of the emperor - that is to find death.
Why did He Yan, who had always smiled and squinted in front of the little eunuch, get angry when he heard these three words of Liang Guozhi, and why couldn't Liang Guozhi mention these three words? Let's first take a look at who this Liang Guozhi is. Liang Guozhi (梁国治), qianlong thirteen years of the temple examination of the first name of the champion, and later to the Dongge University scholar and Hubu Shangshu, but also served as the vice president of the "Four Libraries of the Whole Book", after his death, the nickname Wending, generally known as Liang WendingGong. Everyone thought that the "Four Libraries Quanshu" was edited by Ji Yun Ji Xiaolan's big cigarette bag, but in fact, everyone was wrong, Ji Xiaolan did not finish it for several years, Qianlong was in a hurry, he sent He Yan to preside over the work, and the result was that after He Yan was appointed as the president of the Siku Quanshu Library, he sprinkled money and issued a bonus, and the "Four Libraries Quanshu" was quickly copied and completed.
He Yan is the president of siku quanshu, Liang Guozhi is the vice president of siku quanshu, it can be seen that the relationship between these two people should be good, so he yanyi heard the little eunuch directly call his name and said the three words "Liang Guozhi", which made him angry, according to the "Qing Barnyard Banknotes" record: "Hewenzhi, indignant." He was angry with the adult, and the consequences were very serious: "Stand up dozens of rods, and thank Liang for his life." The little eunuchs who said the wrong thing were beaten up and had to limp in front of Liang Guozhi and prostrate themselves. And He Yan also had his reason for doing so: "Liang is an auxiliary minister of the imperial court, and Ru Generation Can be light!" ”
He Yan's discipline of the eunuchs in the palace was not excessive, because among the dozens of official positions in He Yan, there was a man named "Minister in Charge of internal affairs", who disciplined the little eunuch for Qianlong, which was his own business, and if he did not manage it well, Qianlong would be very angry, and the consequences of Qianlong's anger were much more serious than those of He Yan's anger--Gao Congyun's screams when he was delayed, and even if He Yan was a luan Yiwei who carried a palanquin, he should have heard it.
Qianlong seemed to have a natural hostility toward eunuchs, and as soon as he became emperor, he immediately ordered all the eunuchs in the palace to change their surnames, so the eunuchs of the Qianlong Dynasty had only three surnames: Qin, Zhao, and Gao. Connected up is Zhao Gao of the Qin Dynasty--it has nothing to do with Qin Juniper, perhaps Qianlong thinks that these dead eunuchs are not even as good as Qin Juniper. Today, we see many people indiscriminately recognizing their ancestors, and even Qin Juniper, who had no intention of doing so, also appeared a large group of "descendants", but none of them stood up and mistakenly recognized the eunuchs of the Qianlong Dynasty with the surnames of Qin, Zhao, and Gao as ancestors, because the status of eunuchs at that time was really low, and it was really not a glorious thing to recognize such people as ancestors. At this time, some people asked: Is it a glorious thing to recognize Qin Juniper as the ancestor? Some people who recognize Qin Juniper as the ancestor are not chaotic people? Please note that what the author wrote is that there are no "people" who recognize their ancestors, and they do not say chickens, ducks, geese and dogs.
Qianlong has a thousand kinds of things, and He yan is insatiable, but this pair of strange monarchs has really made people unable to fault it: the vast majority of the later emperors of the Qing Dynasty are very absurd, if there are a bunch of dead eunuchs who are blindly mixed, then maybe Cixi will not even have the opportunity to enter the palace as a palace maid - the Qing Dynasty did not wait for Xianfeng to become emperor and collapsed, who do you let Cixi marry...
