As we all know, the Qing Dynasty had a military aircraft department, which contained major state secrets, and was its military intelligence bureau. But the Qing Dynasty also had a more confidential place than the Military Aircraft Department, which stored the secret folds of the Qing Emperor's exchanges with his ministers, known as the "Qing Dynasty Emperor"
Qing Palace Secret File
”。
"Heaven knows, you know I know", the secret fold is exactly like this, and the content of the play is only known to the two kings and ministers. so
What secrets were hidden in Kangxi's secret compromises?
？
Ordinary folds and dense folds are very different
The ordinary folds of the Qing Dynasty generally passed first
Department of Communications and Political Affairs
Then report to the Emperor. The Department of Communications and Political Affairs is
Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang
At the beginning of its establishment, the head of the Department of Communications and Political Affairs had great power. However, with the corruption of the officials of the Department of Communications and Political Affairs, it has occurred repeatedly
Play a leak
The events, coupled with the decline and fall of the Ming Dynasty, the General Administration Department was useless by the later period.
After the establishment of the Qing government, this institution was still established, but its function has been
Greatly weakened
, known as "
Light yamen
”。“ (Folding) All Of Them Are Lida Imperial Front", which was personally reviewed by the Emperor. However, after all, it is still possible for this kind of institution to leak secrets, so the Qing Emperor thought of a foolproof strategy, which is"
Dense folding
The "Secret Fold" special report was directly submitted to the emperor without going through the Department of Communications and Politics, and there were various methods of submission, and some of them were even sandwiched in the folding of the invitation. In order to ensure confidentiality, the name of the performer is not written on the fold, only "
The South Study is sealed
" words.
These folds are Kangxi metropolises
Personally and promptly approved
For a while, Kangxi's right hand was sick, but he still used his left hand to reply, which shows that Kangxi attaches great importance to and is cautious about "secret folding".
"Secret fold" speaks to kangxi's character
The secret folds between the monarchs and the courtiers are nothing more than the secrets of the corruption of local officials, but the secret folds of Kangxi are
Another taste
, let people look at it can't help but marvel,
Kangxi is worthy of being an emperor for thousands of years
。
Compassion for the people
In 1942, Puyi brought Kangxi's first batch of "dense folds" out of the imperial palace, and the folds of the three weaving officials in Jiangnan were also presented in the public eye. These recitals are from the local
Customs and folklore
arrive
Rain harvest
, everything.
Another time, Li Xu reported a new type of rice in the secret compromise, and Kangxi repeatedly replied to the inquiry and immediately asked Li Xu to plant an "experimental field".
It can be seen that Kangxi was not only concerned about the achievements of officials, but also about the agricultural production and living conditions of the people.
Care for subordinates
In 1712, Cao Xueqin's grandfather Cao Yin contracted malaria and asked Kangxi for a copy of cinchona cream, an imported Western medicine. Kangxi immediately approved the recital after seeing it, lest he not be able to do so."
Give the stagecoach a starry night to rush away
In addition, Kangxi also gave thousands of instructions on the use of this medicine and the way to distinguish malaria. At the end of the fold, Kangxi replied:
If it were not for malaria, this medicine would not be useful, and it would be necessary to be serious, and it would be a great deal of advice! Wande! Wande! Wande!
”
This secret fold and life-saving medicine from Beijing to Yangzhou, the fast horse and whip only used

A "ten thousand instructions", which can be seen in Kangxi's subordinates
A piece of sincerity
Discern right from wrong
Secret folding is one type
Whistleblowing system
It is a means for the emperor to expand his eyes and ears and strengthen his imperial power. But if the implementation is not in place, it will often be
The villain succeeds and assassinates Zhongliang
。 Kangxi was also very cautious about this, and he always had his own for the matter of tantra
judgement
There is a copy of Wang Hongxu's recital, which accuses a man named Fan Pu of forcibly buying and selling folk women under the pretext of a beauty pageant under the pretext of kangxi's southern tour. After reading this, Kangxi replied, "Er carefully inquire, and if there is such a thing, he will write it in secret with his own hands." This matter can no longer be known. Some people know that Er is inconvenient. ”
This recital shows the importance Kangxi attaches to the work of secrecy, and at the same time, it also shows kangxi's caution about the problem, so that it can be "
Inquire carefully
", so as not to misjudge.
Those "secret folds" in history
The "secret folding" system was not pioneered by Kangxi and originated in the Han Dynasty."
Closure
Emperor Xuan of the Western Han Dynasty
During this period, the ministers sealed it with soap sacs and reported it to the secret music. Soap sac, is a black pocket.
In the Tang Dynasty, "secret fold" evolved into "
Top seal
"and"
Seal
The Tang emperors also relied on this form in particular. In the late Tang Dynasty, Tang Xuanzong Li Chen even created a unique trick of cultivating "eyes and ears".
Li Chen once secretly ordered Wei Ao, a scholar of Hanlin, to compile a volume of people's livelihood and political styles in various states under the heavens, and ordered them to be named "Punishment Language". Once Dengzhou stabbed Shi Xue Hongzong into the dynasty,
Li Chen knew the local area very well, which made Xue Hongzong smirk
This is because Li Chen has already secretly mastered the first-hand information of the local officials.
The "secret fold" occurred when it was most rampant
During the reign of Wu Zetian
。 At that time, in order to eliminate dissidents, Wu Zetian snared evidence of crimes that were made out of nothing, and wantonly assassinated loyal subjects and the Li Tang royal family.
The most ridiculous thing is that there was a name at the time
Fish to protect the home
The craftsman, in order to please Wu Zetian, invented a copper whistleblower box. The box has a mechanism, and the informer can only put the letter in but cannot take it out.
Wu Zetian was very satisfied, but this box harmed the inventor himself. Later, the enemies of the Yu Bao family falsely accused him of refining weapons privately, and Wu Zetian ordered a search of the family and killed the Yu Bao family.
When Yu Baojia was dying, he shouted, "I invented the box for the sake of harming people, but I didn't expect to end up hurting myself!" This sentence is not right,
It was not himself who harmed the fish protector's family, let alone the box, but the person who used the box
epilogue
If it had been Kangxi, this kind of thing would not have happened.
Kangxi was the emperor who played a relatively good role in the positive effects of the "secret fold" system.
It can be seen that the same emperor, the effect of "secret folding" is very different,
Institutions are dead, and only those in power are souls
。 Kangxi can be called the Emperor of the Ages, and the "secret fold" can see his unusualness.
