When it comes to the most diligent emperor, many people will think of the Yongzheng Emperor first, Yongzheng's diligence is famous in the history of the world, he reigned for only 12 years and eight months, but more than his father Kangxi did in the 61 years of reign. There are even folk rumors that Yongzheng only rests for 4 hours a day, and the rest of the time is at work, and the mysterious death of Yongzheng has also been crowned with the hat of "being exhausted by work".
How diligent is Yongzheng? At present, the number of surviving Yongzheng folds and manuscripts has reached 300,000 pieces, and the handwritten annotations of Yongzheng on the folds have more than 10 million words, which is beyond the reach of successive emperors. Perhaps most people can't appreciate Yongzheng's diligence from the numbers, in fact, just look at the secret folds he approved, and the chairman is ashamed of himself when he sees it.
At present, among the tens of thousands of original secret files of Yongzheng in the Forbidden City, the most common is the dense fold with detailed batch points. The so-called secret fold is to present the fold to the emperor to personally dismantle the imperial palace, and the emperor will correct it with a Zhu pen, and then seal it and send it to the original player. In addition, he also authorized officials to allow them to cross the border to perform things, and they could cross the level of surveillance, forming a situation of restraint from top to bottom, and after the courtiers received Zhu Approval, they could act in accordance with the Zhu Approval and did not have to report to the superiors, which was both an honor and an incentive for the courtiers.
For officials of the small and medium classes, the secret fold was a great benefit, and the secret fold was an opportunity for profound communication with the emperor. During the Kangxi Dynasty, there were only more than 100 people who wrote secret letters, but in the Yongzheng Dynasty, it reached more than 1,100, and the opportunities for secret folds were gradually expanded to governors and clans in various provinces. In addition, Yongzheng's Zhu Pi is very stylistic, has been separated from the formatted language, the content of laughter and anger, very personal, this is also his way of controlling the courtier Enwei and shi.
Most of Yongzheng's Zhu Batch is full of emotional color, for example, when encountering something worth being happy, Yongzheng will criticize "good things and good things!" Such things are not pleasing to the emperor unless the emperor stays also! For example, when he encounters an angry thing, he will scold "Li Zhiying is not a person, big joke!" What a joke! There is a face to pass on the oral word, and the smile is unbearable, the real martial artist. For example, when the minister was wronged, he would criticize, "You are really tired, not only Yuan, but Prince Yi is hurting you and shedding tears." Amitabha, what a danger! For example, if the minister is not doing a good job, he will criticize, "Are you a god?" How can such ignorant and deceitful words be said in a careless manner before the Father! ”
Among them, the secret fold that best expresses Yongzheng's temperament is "Shu 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! Yongzheng read the recital so carefully, the courtiers will be grateful, strict with themselves, and more motivated, which shows that Yongzheng's "taming skills" are really good.
In summary, the reason why Yongzheng can achieve the mingjun of the ages is not only related to his diligence, but also his attitude towards work, just from the secret folds approved by Yongzheng, it can be seen that the secret folds that Yongzheng has approved, I am afraid that the chairman of the modern company is ashamed of himself when he sees it.
