According to Mr. Huang Renyu's "Fifteen Years of the Wanli Calendar", the emperor had to approve twenty to thirty chapters a day. These chapters are written on a long piece of paper, folded from left to right into four leaves, eight leaves, twelve leaves, so it is also referred to as "folding". Among them, the ones submitted by each yamen are called "inscription books", and those submitted in the name of individuals (commenting on or suggesting major military affairs, and there are also emperors who report a certain local event or report a certain official's conspiracy) are called "songbooks", and the two are collectively called "song folds".
According to statistics, during the 13 years of Yongzheng's reign, a total of more than 40,000 pieces of Zhu Batch folding were left, and some of the comments on the folds were even more than the content of the folds themselves, up to more than a thousand words. In addition to some other documents, during the reign of the Yongzheng Emperor, an average of more than 3,000 words were written a day! Cheng can be said to be a rare diligent emperor in ancient and modern China and abroad. As the Yongzheng Emperor himself said: "From dawn to sunset, sit in the palace room, review the chapters and music everywhere, keep watching, keep approving with your hands, and instruct your ministers, and say no less than a thousand words a day." ”
One of the recitals was that the guards of the Right Acropolis learned that Qianlong was coming to Mount Wutai, so he wrote that he was going to go to the court. Qianlong replied to the effect that the right guard was far away and did not need to come to see him. After a few months, the man wrote another recital, or he wanted to come to the court. As a result, Qianlong was on fire, and Zhu Pi's carelessness was that I had already said that I would not use it to see him, what do you mean by that? Do you use me to say it a second time?
Some ministers have a bad level of education, and the written music is not clear for the emperor to understand, and the emperor will directly write his own ideas. For example, a minister named Zhu Yigui once gave Kangxi a recital, and wrote it so that Kangxi could not understand it. Kangxi replied: "You really can't understand your headless and brainless words!"
