The long river of history is running endlessly, there are calm waves, there are also waves, let Xiaobian take you into history and understand history.
Hello everyone, when it comes to Qianlong's words, you must have heard about it.
"Everyone says that Jiangnan is good, and tourists only meet Jiangnan old." Spring water is blue in the sky, painting boats to listen to rain sleep. The people on the edge are like the moon, and the frost and snow are condensed on the wrists. If you do not return to your hometown, you must cut off your intestines when you return to your hometown. - "Saman". In history, Jiangnan is a dream place full of literary atmosphere, and people who have never come want to come, and people who have come want to settle here. Even the emperor who lived in the palace for a long time lingered on this place, for example, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty liked to come to Jiangnan the most.
Kangxi was one of the more famous emperors in the history of the Qing Dynasty, reigning for 61 years, not only the Qing Dynasty but also the longest reigning emperor in Chinese history.
During his reign, Kangxi made six southern tours and lived four times in the Cao family, which was the home of Cao Xueqin, the author of the Dream of the Red Chamber, the first of the four famous works. Cao Xueqin's great-grandfather Cao Xi was a second-class bodyguard on Kangxi's side and was very close. Moreover, Cao Xi's wife was also Kangxi's nanny, and the Cao family naturally won Kangxi's trust.
Later, Kangxi commissioned him to Weave in Jiangning, responsible for purchasing cloth for the court. The Cao family was supported by Kangxi, and Cao Xi was close to Kangxi, and it was natural for Kangxi to live in the Cao family under the south of the river.
Not only Kangxi liked the southern tour, his son Yongzheng and grandson Qianlong both liked the southern tour, especially Qianlong was no less than his grandfather Kangxi tour, from the first southern tour in 1751 (the sixteenth year of Qianlong), to the second southern tour in 1757 (Qianlong twenty-two years), the third southern tour in 1762 (Qianlong twenty-seven years), the fourth southern tour in 1765 (Qianlong thirty-five years), the fifth southern tour in 1780 (Qianlong forty-five years), the last southern tour in 1784 (Qianlong forty-nine years), Qianlong went down to Jiangnan 6 times in his lifetime.
Qianlong's southern tour is definitely far more than his grandfather Kangxi's, in 1751 the scale of the southern tour is the smallest, but there are more than 2,000 people, the next 5 southern tours have maintained a scale of more than 3,000 people, the most time is more than tens of thousands of people, spending a lot of money, it is said that the money accumulated by the two generations of Kang Yong was tossed away.
Interestingly, Qianlong seems to like to imitate his grandfather Kangxi, and many things are based on Kangxi as a criterion. For example, Kangxi toured the south 6 times in his lifetime, and Qianlong also visited Jiangnan six times in his lifetime. What is even more "coincidental" is that Kangxi lived in the same person's mansion 4 times during his six southern tours, while Qianlong also lived in the same person's mansion 4 times in the lower Jiangnan 6 times.
Qianlong lived in the Chen Family Mansion in Haining, so why did Qianlong live in the same mansion four times? The more correct statement of the three views is that the Chen family itself is a famous and prestigious family, and there have been three ministers and five Shangshu in history, so in this part of Jiangnan, the Haining Chen family itself is one of the largest families, and it is a very normal thing for Qianlong to choose to be the foothold of the southern tour. However, according to the "Thirteen Dynasties of the Qing Palace", there is also an unspeakable secret.
Legend has it that when Yongzheng was still a prince, the princess was pregnant and gave birth to a child in October. The Haining Chen family also gave birth to a child. At that time, the princess gave birth to a girl, and Mrs. Chen gave birth to a boy. So Yongzheng found a reason to carry Lady Chen's boy to his royal palace for upbringing, and this child was really the later Qianlong Emperor. Therefore, Qianlong lived in the Chen family of Haining many times during his southern tour. Of course, this is the content of wild history, and the specific authenticity remains to be examined.
