As a Han Chinese, Zhang Tingyu played a very important role in the Kangyong Dynasty and the early Qianlong Dynasty, without the experience of the army, without the merit of opening up the territory, he was among the ranks of the Taimiao Temple, and he was also the only Hanchen worthy of the Taimiao Temple in the Qing Dynasty, although it was related to the high starting point of his father Zhang Ying as a major minister of the Kangxi Dynasty, but it was also inseparable from Zhang Tingyu's own excellent qualities:
- Honest and charitable. Zhang Tingyu was not Hai Rui, but the gifts between his courtiers were too valuable and were always rejected; on the contrary, Zhang Tingyu would reward the silver, or support Sangzi's Xinxin students, or help the victims;
- Diligent and low-key. Yongzheng consulted various ministers, officials, and Xu officials, and Zhang Tingyu, who was in charge of the bureaucracy (personnel), replied like a stream, detachment is a mobile "talent pool", and the place of origin, political achievements, and resume of each official are recorded in his mind, but Zhang Tingyu rarely makes friends with foreign officials, nor does he let those who are promoted by his recommendation know; in addition, Zhang Tingyu, who is in charge of the bureaucracy and the household department, is in an orderly manner in the face of complicated administrative affairs, without delay, and without error;
- Pactera Agile. Ordinary people even if they think of words into words, they have to think again and again, let alone understand the words of others, but Zhang Tingyu has this ability, Yongzheng said, it can fall on the paper, no difference, this is very important for Yongzheng, especially when Kangxi is newly lost, the political situation is unstable, if the intention of the proposed pool is slightly different, it will cause great disasters.
Zhang Tingyu
Coupled with the fact that many brothers and Manchu nobles were dissatisfied with Yin Chan's succession, Yongzheng needed to support a group of Hanchen and consolidate his own political power, so as the representative of Hanchen, Zhang Tingyu became Yongzheng's right and left arm, and there was a moment of inseparability, so that in 1733, Zhang Tingyu returned to the province, and Yongzheng issued a "lover" tone of the holy will, saying:
"In the 11 years since you succeeded to the throne, only the Qing family cannot be separated, and now that you have been gone for more than a month, you really miss it tightly!"
Behind this holy will, it is estimated that Yongzheng frowned and changed it several times before he was ready, what is this? This was a disguised urge for Zhang Tingyu to return to Beijing. So inseparable from Zhang Tingyu, Yongzheng simply issued a Daoist edict, in the name of having the merits of George, Enzhu Zhang Tingyu deserved to enjoy the Taimiao Temple, so that he would accompany him after his death.
At the beginning of Qianlong's reign, Zhang Tingyu still continued his authority, no way, the huge empire needed Zhang Tingyu as the helmsman, and more importantly, Qianlong needed time to support his own power. So, can't Qianlong follow Amma's "team"?
Yongzheng
No, at this time, Zhang Tingyu and Ortai, who was also a heavy minister of the Yongzheng Dynasty, were a mountain that could not tolerate two tigers, and it is said that the two colleagues did not speak to each other for more than ten years, and once Ertai was wrong, Zhang Tingyu made a sarcastic remark. Under the rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it is not difficult to understand the contradictions between the Manchus and the Han, and Ertai must not be convinced of the Han Zhang Tingyu and obtain such a high courtesy from Yongzheng; Zhang Tingyu naturally did not take Ortai in his eyes when he was fighting Yongzheng.
The Manchu Dynasty took sides one after another, thus forming a party struggle between Zhang and E, which Qianlong did not want to see. Entering the tenth year of Qianlong's reign, Ertai died, and suddenly the tree fell and scattered, Qianlong turned his eyes to Zhang Tingyu, at this time, Zhang Tingyu and Zhang Tingyu's in-laws, fangshi, had more than thirty officials in the same dynasty, forming a political force that could not be ignored.
The filial Qianlong gave Emperor Ama enough face, gave Zhang Tingyu a step down, and issued a will, saying, "Old sir, you are not in good health, I am very sorry for you, and you will not have to come to the court so early in the future." Zhang Tingyu, who has been in the political arena for decades, can understand that it is to make room for himself.
Ortai
Well, anyway, it has been almost fifty years, and when his son died in front, Zhang Tingyu suddenly had the intention of retreating; in the first month of the new year, Qianlong feasted on the courtiers, and Zhang Tingyu saw that the master was in a good mood, so he privately expressed the intention of telling the old man to return to his hometown.
Isn't that burying me? Changing the Fa to express his dissatisfaction, he thought so in his heart, but Qianlong said comfortingly in his mouth: "You are an old man who was ordered by the emperor and deserves to enjoy the Taimiao Temple, and you can't be lazy before you die." ”
In connection with the previous period, Liu Tongxun suggested that Qianlong suspend the promotion of officials with the surnames of Zhang and Fang within three years, which should be a wake-up call, the emperor said so, obedience is enough, but Zhang Tingyu did not, moved out of the example of Liu Bowen of the Ming Dynasty, saying that he did not return to his hometown before he died?
"Liu Bowen was deposed, good don't learn, why don't you learn Zhuge Liang's "bow down and die after death"? Qianlong was a little angry. So and so, so and so, and there were several rounds between the monarchs and the courtiers, and Zhang Tingyu's some unforgiving behavior angered Qianlong, and naturally he did not agree to Zhi Shi's request.
Imperial Poetry Collection
According to the master's theory, one does not look at the occasion, and the other does not know whether it is appropriate to stop, which can only show that Zhang Tingyu is really old, and it is also this year that he made two more mistakes, one for Qianlong to supervise the production of the "Imperial Poetry Collection"; one was to write an altar text for Empress Fucha, and both times there were typos. If the previous time was still reasonable, the next time was the woman Qianlong loved deeply in his life, and you can imagine Qianlong's anger.
So Zhang Tingyu's "golden body" was broken, and he who never had a record of being punished was punished for a year, and the torment in his heart oh, there was no way, who let the family be the master, on the surface no longer speak. The following year, Qianlong eased his sad mood slightly, and seeing that Zhang Tingyu, who was nearly an old man, was still serving the Qing Dynasty, he really did not want to go, and comforted this old minister; Zhang Tingyu, who was disheartened, mentioned the old things again.
Qianlong, who had an apologetic heart, softened his attitude this time, and after some consideration, he issued a holy decree saying that the Ai XinJue Luo family really did not want you, but the age was indeed older, so it was to go, approve; it was to stay, and it was also welcome.
It's just that Zhang Tingyu is really old and confused, knowing that Qianlong did not embarrass him this time, he allowed him to tell the old man to return to his hometown, but on second thought, people are likely to be cold when they leave, and once they are not in the DPRK, they will inevitably be attacked by political enemies.
Taimiao
After thinking about it, he tossed and turned, and finally plucked up the courage to enter the palace to play the reward of "the word as a coupon", which was to write a letter of guarantee for Qianlong, so as not to recognize the matter of enjoying the Taimiao Temple in the future.
Isn't that distrustful of me? Don't trust me... Forget it, since you have promised it, you don't bother with this old thing. Qianlong, who was funny and angry, suppressed his anger and agreed to Zhang Tingyu's request. Qianlong's poems were notorious, and Zhang Tingyu wrote them shortly after he left and sent someone to send them to Zhang Mansion.
The emperor rewarded his courtiers, and the courtiers should have gone to thank him the next day, but Zhang Tingyu did not know what to think, and the next day he actually asked his son to go on his behalf. Not taking me seriously, he immediately angered Qianlong, and immediately asked people to make a plan and let Zhang Tingyu enter the palace to explain clearly.
The person who proposed the purpose was Zhang Tingyu's student, and when he saw that something was wrong, he quickly wrote a small note to inform the teacher; Zhang Tingyu was really old, and he didn't want to think about it, and he didn't want to go into the palace all night to face the saint, what would Qianlong think? Isn't it a deception to come when the time of shane comes or not to come, and to give the order to come? There were also no intentions to convey, and it was clear that someone had leaked secrets, and as a result, the students were sold again.
Angry Qianlong stripped Zhang Tingyu of his title, this is not the end, the next year is in the autumn of the eventful love of the New Jueluo family, and then spread bad news, Qianlong's eldest son Yong Huang died, as Yong Huang's teacher Zhang Tingyu has been Qianlong at this time a little collapsed in his heart, as soon as the sacrifice is over, he will go to the table to leave.
Qianlong
Isn't this heartless and lungless? Qianlong, who was immersed in the pain of losing his son, immediately questioned Zhang Tingyu, saying that he was worthy of the Taimiao Temple, are you still worthy? Zhang Tingyu immediately apologized, and after losing the honor of his life, his heart completely collapsed, and he returned to his hometown that he never forgot, but he was lonely, depressed, and finally depressed.
Throughout Zhang Tingyu's life, most of his life was devoted to the Qing Dynasty, diligent and earnest, but he was highly recognized by the two emperors of Kang Yong, who allowed him to enjoy the Taimiao Temple, but when he came, he became a psychological burden, and he fainted for it, and in the end it was empty, before he died, did he remember his own poem "The Great Wall of Ten Thousand Miles, the Dream of a Hundred Heroes of the Hundred Ages"?
