There are many Qing officials in the "Yongzheng Dynasty", one of whom is called Li Fu, who left a deep impression on me, he is not a close confidant of Yongzheng, but a close courtier of the Three Brothers, and is the leader of the Qing school, the leader of the world's readers, as a reader, Li Fu is not only clean and self-righteous, but also has good political achievements, and was loved by the people when he was a local official, which even Yongzheng praised.
However, it was such a good official who actually fell out with Yongzheng, and Yongzheng was going to behead him at that time, and the world's readers interceded with Li Fu, and even the three brothers personally interceded with Li Fu, Yongzheng did not agree, and finally it was Hongli who interceded to pardon Li Fu.
Why did Yongzheng have to be so cruel to a good official?
This starts with Yongzheng's political ideals. Later, he implemented policies such as dividing the land into acres and returning fire to the public, as well as the gentry's integration of grain, which greatly damaged the vested interests of the Qing rulers at that time. For example, the scholars of the Qing Dynasty, as long as they have a meritorious name, they can immediately not pay grain, do not pay taxes, some gentry originally had money, and then annexed peasant land, these lands did not pay grain in the end, which led to the later taxation of the imperial court is less and less, the national treasury deficit is more and more serious, but those gentry are getting richer and richer.
As a reader, Li Fu has some self-esteem. It is believed that peasants should pay taxes and pay grain, and that those who read books should be superior to others. Therefore, he did not pay attention to Yongzheng's policy, and as the governor of a province, he did not actively implement Yongzheng's policy, which made Yongzheng very embarrassed. After all, Li Fu is a good official, but if a good official cannot be used by me, then even the best official will become a car in the way.
Therefore, Yongzheng had been thinking about getting rid of Li Fu. Make the way for your own New Deal.
Finally the fuse came, the readers in Henan had a conflict with Tian Wenjing because of the fact that the gentry were all receiving grain, and at this time, the readers were looking forward to Li Fu to stand up and speak for them, and Li Fu really became this ant. Before it was passive sabotage, Yongzheng was not good, this time directly out of the head, Yongzheng just seized the opportunity to rectify Li Fu,
Therefore, Li Fu was escorted to the execution ground by Yongzheng, and he did not wait for the so-called autumn queen, and he was about to ask for a beheading. This can make the people of the Qing Sect anxious. Brother San'a was the actual leader of the Qing school, and he first hurried over to intercede with Yongzheng, who did not pay any attention to him at all, and some ministers of the Qing school also knelt outside the door to intercede, and Yongzheng also ignored them.
Seeing that the three o'clock in the afternoon was coming, Yongzheng waited until Hongshi interceded, and then let Hongli personally release Li Fu.
He did this in two ways, the first meaning is that I Yongzheng would rather offend the world's readers and implement the New Deal, and this crackdown on Li Fu is not only to warn the Qingliu Party and the readers, but also to deter the Eight Ye Party and others, that is, to show his determination to implement the New Deal, and then to discourage others who want to oppose this policy.
The second is actually to give Hongli a chance. This is the so-called imperial heart technique, he offended all the readers, and then sold Hongli a face, so that Li Fu received the favor of Hongli, and when Hongli became the emperor, Li Fu naturally became Hongli's confidant minister, and it was true in history.
Yongzheng himself has been the emperor for so many years, and he knows that he has made countless enemies, and the whole government and the public are very dissatisfied with him, but they just don't dare to attack. Therefore, he definitely did not want Hongli to face such a situation after taking office at a young age, so he left his useful talents to his son, which can be regarded as an advance layout.
And this is a one-stone multi-bird strategy, which is really wonderful.
