Today's talk is that when Yongzheng was in the private visit of weifu, he saw that there were tea sellers, so he asked how much tea was a pound of tea, and then the old man who sold tea replied that it was five hundred yuan, and the result was that because of this, after Yongzheng returned to the palace, there were three people whose heads were about to fall to the ground and beheaded, what was the reason for this? After xiaobian has learned about the historical data, let's talk to you about the ins and outs of this matter and see what is going on.
The three most famous emperors of the Qing Dynasty are Kangxi Yongzheng Qianlong, the three of them together created the Kangqian prosperous world, then these three people also have their own characteristics in governing, Kangxi is more like micro-service private patrol, go to the people to see, and Yongzheng is not so like. The TV series has a private tour of Kangxi micro-service, and the ratings are also very good. Yongzheng did not like to go to micro-service private patrols, he was above the court, very strict, when he reigned, it can be said that the super-gang Qingming, the atmosphere is very good. Then how could Yongzheng, who did not like micro-service private patrols, go down? How could such a thing happen? Don't worry, Xiaobian will talk to you next.
During the Yongzheng period, the Yellow River flood occurred in Henan, and there was a matter of candidates applying for the examination, although he had sent Tian Wenjing to deal with this matter, and the Yongzheng Emperor also trusted him more, but he still went down to see what the specific situation was. After a period of time in Henan, he returned to Beijing from Jincheng, Shanxi, during the Qing Dynasty, Shanxi Jin merchants were very powerful, the trade there was very good, at that time Anwei's Huangshan Maojian tea was also very famous, he also often drank in the imperial palace, he entered a tea shop at that time. The tea shop that sold tea brought him a cup of fine tea, and he didn't want to taste the same as the Yongzheng Emperor drank in the palace. So the emperor asked the old man who sold tea, how much is this tea for a pound? The old man replied, this tea is five hundred yuan a pound, Yongzheng heard this and was very angry and left.
This is because, Yongzheng he knows that the purchase of this tea in the palace is thirty-two one pounds, and now it is five hundred yuan a pound outside, which is so much difference, there must be cat grease inside, yongzheng Emperor is naturally very angry. After he returned to the palace, he began to investigate the matter, and the result was that there was a ghost, it was Sheng An, the chief of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and a eunuch and the tea merchant Qin Yong'an who cheated together to deceive the emperor and thus obtain huge profits from it, such an act was indeed shameless, and after the Yongzheng Emperor knew about it, he beheaded these three people and sentenced them to death. The Yongzheng Emperor did not allow anyone to engage in corruption and bribery, and once it was found out, they would be severely punished. That's how the whole thing is.
