As we all know, Ai Xin Jueluo Yin Chan was the victor of kangxi's "nine sons and concubines" in his later years, and after ascending the throne, he changed his era name to Yongzheng and was the Yongzheng Emperor. Historians have long used the term "professional emperor" when evaluating Yongzheng. In the author's opinion, Yongzheng was the craziest emperor of the Qing Dynasty and even the two thousand years of feudal society.
During the 13-year reign of Yongzheng, the emperor pushed the feudal imperial dictatorship to the highest peak, and it was not too addictive to do everything himself, and he created a secret folding system with ingenuity. If you search for stories about Yongzheng's diligence on the Internet, you will often see this sentence, "Yongzheng only rests three days a year and sleeps five hours a day." ”
Is this real history? To know that the emperor is the Ninth Five-Year Emperor, is it necessary for Yongzheng to be so crazy? I can responsibly tell you that Yongzheng is so crazy. It's just that people understand the problem from different angles. To take a well-known example, during Yongzheng's 13-year reign (specifically 12 years and 8 months), 200,000 pieces of music were approved, and the total number of approvals exceeded 10 million words.
Yongzheng's criticism is very personal, and it is even mixed with vernacular text, such as the criticism of Tian Wenjing when he plays the fold, "Yuan is such a man!" That's it! That's the emperor! If er and other ministers do not live up to their responsibilities, they will not fail to live up to Er and so on. Mian Zhi! For example, when the relationship with Nian Qianyao was hot, Yongzheng directly instructed in the recital, "Shuo also misses you very much", "Shuo really doesn't know how to hurt you", "Shuo is a stingy ghost", "Shuo Shi really wants to qing" and so on, meat is not meat hemp?
According to historians' statistics, Yongzheng handled an average of 147,000 pieces of various recitals per year, personally approved more than 41,600 pieces of recitals, and some of them had more than 1,000 words, which was more than the content of the recitals themselves. You should know that Yong yong writes with a brush and works almost every day until late at night.
Yongzheng himself also said: "In one day, the performances of the civil and military officials in various provinces, tasted to twenty or thirty pieces, as many as fifty or sixty pieces, all of which were personally read and wholesale, and there was never a stay, and no one praised it." "Writing 3,000-4,000 words a day is not easy to type with a computer today.
Yongzheng began working on the third day after the death of his father Kangxi, and it should be known that it was still during the great funeral. At that time, some ministers suggested that the emperor reduce his workload, and Yong Zhengqi did not fight a single point, and directly issued an edict, "The minister of prime ministerial affairs, all the generals from the generals below the general, the governors of the provinces, the towns and all the officials who have folds, and those who have the officials in charge of the affairs in Beijing, if because of the great events of the emperor, the folds played by the province are hidden, absolutely not, if they are suspended or sent back, they must not be." Whoever plays it will play because of something, and if there is a stagnant stagnation, and if he finds out in the future, he will be punished according to the great disrespectful law, and he will write a strict edict to the family of his children in Beijing. ”
Seeing that there is no, they are all filial piety in Phi Ma, and they are still concerned about their work. Perhaps it was precisely this madness that Yongzheng's body was not as good as a day, so he thought of taking various elixirs to keep his body in a state of excitement, which laid the groundwork for his later violent death.
On August 21, 1735, Yongzheng became seriously ill, but he "continued to do things as usual" and died on the twenty-third day. According to the diary of Yongzheng's confidant Zhang Tingyu, Yongzheng bled to death in the Seven Tricks, which made him "horrified". Seven tricks of bleeding, this is obviously a situation that will occur only from poisoning, and the cause of Yongzheng's death has also been found, and a large number of mineral elixirs have been poisoned and died.
