After entering the twenty-first century, domestic TV dramas have gradually begun to develop in the direction of "cool drama", and the general protagonists in the cool drama are killing all four parties and cool to the end.
However, shuang opera looks addictive and seems shallow in quality, because in reality, even the emperor's life is not smooth.
This article is going to talk about a scene in the famous drama "Yongzheng Dynasty", which pursues the arrears of the household department. In this scene, the old Fourth Yin Chan, who had just returned from Jiangnan and was proud of the spring breeze, planted a big heel, so that he could only taoguang and cultivate obscurity for a long time.
It seems that this drama belongs to the trough of the male number one Yin Chan of the "Yongzheng Dynasty", who lost miserably, but in fact, this defeat is a typical example of a short loss and a long win.
I. Yin Chan's "Three Defeats"
In the later years of Kangxi, the officials were lax, although from top to bottom they were advocating the prosperity of Kangxi, but as the emperor, Kangxi was like Mingjing, he had no money to pay for a flood, and there was a lot of money in the household account book, and the result was that he could not get much at all, and the money was borrowed by a group of officials, so there was a vigorous "pursuit of the arrears of the household department".
In the words of Kangxi, it is natural to pay off debts. However, in actual operation, it was not so simple at all, so almost all the brothers could hide and hide, and only Yin Chan took over this hardship under the persuasion of Wu Sidao.
As a result, on this errand, Yin Chan suffered three major defeats.
1. Offend a large group of people
This is the most important reason why none of the brothers want to take this errand, there are too many people in debt, everything, and entangled in each other's eyes, debt collection in the end can only offend everyone.
Moreover, due to debt collection reasons, many departments cannot carry out normal work, and those officials who do not owe debts will privately complain about Yin Chan's ruthless approach.
However, the result of offending people was expected by Yin Chan before he took over the errand, and the difference may be that he did not expect to offend so many people and offend so fiercely.
2. Personality and ability weaknesses are exposed
As early as when Yin Chan and Wu Sidao closed the door to talk secretly, Wu Sidao had already analyzed the characteristics of three kinds of debtors for Yin Chan, and it was reasonable to say that there should be a specific analysis process for different people and different debts, but it was obvious that Yin Chan's debt collection was almost not subdivided, but the bearded eyebrows were grasped.
The most important thing is that Yin Chan himself is direct enough to lack flexibility, and he has found a more direct and inflexible Tian Wenjing to help, which directly aggravates the contradictions and conflicts and makes the debt collection process unmanageable.
In addition, some corrupt officials secretly did what Kangxi knew, but Yin Chan did not know about it, but instead treated them like ordinary borrowers, which exposed his problems even more.
In short, Yin Chan's personality traits of being too impatient and good and happy were vividly exposed in the process of recovering the arrears of the household department, which is why Kangxi said sarcastically that he "you have always prided yourself on shrewdness".
3, carry the black pot to make a wedding dress
Kangxi's old ministers could not repay the debts, and Kangxi used his own money to pay them back, which made those old ministers continue to be grateful to Kangxi.
A large number of officials' debts could not be repaid for a while, and the prince directly solved their urgent needs with a "two-year period", and the officials were all grateful to the prince, and the prince also took the opportunity to buy people's hearts.
The Third Brother borrowed a large amount of silver to repair the book, and this debt collection not only left him unscathed, but also made a good splash in the court through Kangxi's mouth.
Brother Ba'a looked at it coldly from the side, not only taking the opportunity to be a good person, but also deliberately recommending Nian Tang Yao Shun to dig up a handful of Yin Chan's wall feet.
In short, at the "Summary Meeting for Recovering the Arrears of the Household Department" held by Kangxi, Yin Chan and Tian Wenjing carried all the black pots on their backs, and the black pots on their backs were not counted, and they also made a wedding dress for the prince, the three brothers, and the eight brothers.
There was no killing of the enemy, a thousand self-inflicted losses, and eight hundred gains from the enemy, and this battle was fought to this extent, and it was a bit underestimated to say that the fiasco was lost.
Who loses and who wins?
In this vigorous "collection of arrears from the household department", there are many winners, let's talk about the winners on the surface.
Kangxi won, and although only 30% of the arrears were recovered, at least the urgent need was solved, and the rest of the arrears would be recovered within two years. At the same time, Kangxi not only knocked on officials and princes at all levels this time, but also once again consolidated his feelings with his old courtiers.
Some officials who owed money won, although some officials repaid the money in the process of recovery, and some were unlucky, and even more took their lives, but a considerable number of officials not only withdrew, but also whitened the silver of the user department for two more years.
The third brother won, although it was a good thing to write a book, but he was equivalent to buying himself a name with public money.
Brother Ba'a won, hid outside and stayed out of the matter, and finally ran out to be a good person, sold a favor for Yin Chan's intercession, dug a wall foot for Nian Tangyao's request for officials, and picked up equipment unscathed.
At least on the surface, the prince won, not only fishing for a handful himself, but also bought a large wave of people's hearts and minds.
Yin Chan's side is not without winners, at least Nian Qianyao has won, in vain fishing for the fat difference of a Sichuan admiral, and since then the sea and air have leapt high with fish to let birds fly.
The ostensible losers are also obvious.
Wei Dongting, who had hanged himself, lost, several officials who had borrowed money from the Household Department and had taken advantage of the law to lend money and perverted the law had lost, and even the old minister who had been scolded by Tian Wenjing for one or two pieces of silver had also lost.
Yin Chan and Tian Wenjing and others obviously lost, on the one hand, the errands were not done well, on the other hand, they also offended a large number of people, and Yin Chan was publicly humiliated in front of Kangxi.
In a certain sense, Kangxi also lost, the money was only collected 30%, not to mention, but also exposed a lot of dirty things, and even caused human life, which made the face of the so-called Kangxi prosperous world where to put it?
Although it was Yin Chan who did the errand, the boss behind the scenes was him Kangxi, and the boss lost the job, and the boss also lost.
Third, deep-seated wins and losses
The scene of "recovering the arrears of the household department" obviously belongs to the battle of Waterloo of the male number one Yin Chan, but if we think that Yin Chan is an absolute loser, it is also not objective.
If you think about it from a deeper level, the biggest winner behind the "collection of the arrears of the household department" is Kangxi and Yin Chan, and the biggest loser is the prince.
For Kangxi, the collection of the arrears of the household department exposed too many problems, originally thought that it was a simple debt repayment, but there was too much corruption, even the prince was involved, he actually sold the official in order to make up money, which made Kangxi feel incredible.
If it is a faint prince, exposing too many problems is a bad thing, if the emperor thinks clearly, it is a good thing to find problems in time, which has important reference value for Kangxi's future national policy and succession selection, so this time "recovering the arrears of the household department" From a deep level, Kangxi is also a winner.
As mentioned above, the prince is the ostensible winner and the actual loser. First of all, the fact that he betrayed the official title was discovered by Kangxi, which would cause Kangxi to have great contempt and disappointment for the prince.
Secondly, the prince also exposed a serious problem and did not put himself in the right position. Under normal circumstances, if Kangxi was inconvenient to come forward to do a big thing, the prince would have the unshirkable responsibility, either personally handle it, or put on a name and guide, so as to act like a crown prince. The prince has been the crown prince for decades, but at the critical moment, he still regards himself as a prince who is afraid of provoking fire and offending people, how can he expect him to have a broad mind and a strong responsibility on the throne in the future.
In contrast to the prince, Yin Chan became a big winner at a deep level. First of all, from the perspective of reality, once defeated, he can rest assured that Taoguang will cultivate obscurity, watch the boss, the eighth and the prince compete, and wait for the equipment to be picked up outside the matter.
Secondly, the most crucial place is that even a person with the status of a prince does not dare to take on errands, Yin Chan dares to take over, dares to be an orphan subject, and this kind of mind and responsibility is exactly what the emperor should have. After all, once he ascends to the emperor's throne, he will face the whole world and must be a lonely person, so the ancient emperor called himself "lonely".
Therefore, don't look at Yin Chan's worst loss in recovering the arrears of the household department, but in the long run, he won the most, which is also the ingenuity of the screenwriter of "Yongzheng Dynasty".
If a country lives and dies by profit, it is better to avoid it because of misfortune and happiness. This is the principle of action of the ancient Ming Jun and liangchen.
