The emperors of the Qing Dynasty were all famous, such as Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong.
There are actually many famous courtiers, such as: Sony, Obai, Dolgon and so on.
But the Qing Dynasty has a patriarch of the three dynasties, who deserves everyone's attention the most, this person is named Sun Jiagan.
He has two characteristics as an official: first, he is outspoken and daring; Second, clean officials.
Sun Jiagan dared to speak
In the 52nd year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1713), Sun Jiagan became a shuji in the Hanlin Yuan, a minor official in the Ming and Qing dynasties, a short-term temporary establishment.
However, this official position cannot be underestimated, because many celebrities have done this official, such as Zhang Juzheng, Zeng Guofan and so on.
Therefore, this "Shujishi" is called the cradle of the cabinet.
Yongzheng had just taken the throne, and only after experiencing the tragedy of the nine sons taking the throne, he was very sad at that time. The ministers were all silent, and they did not dare to give him any opinions.
However, Sun Jiagan dared to speak out and pour salt on Yongzheng's wounds. Because in his superiority, three things were mentioned: "Please be your own flesh and bones, stop donating, and strike the Western soldiers." ”
The nine sons seizing the concubine is the most taboo topic for Yongzheng
Therefore, just the four words "close to brothers" are enough to kill Sun Jiagan.
As expected, after seeing Sun Jiagan's twists and turns, Yongzheng became furious and determined to kill him.
At this time, a person said good things for Sun Jiagan and finally saved his life.
This man's name was Zhu Shi, an auxiliary minister of Yongzheng, and he said at that time: "Jia Gan is sincere, but surrender to his courage." "
As soon as Yongzheng heard it, he understood what Zhu Shi meant, thought about it, and said with a smile: "Shu Yi is also obedient." "
In this way, Sun Jiagan's life was saved, and his reputation for speaking out also spread.
Later, Yongzheng died and Qianlong took office, and Sun Jiagan's advice of "three habits and one evil" won Qianlong's favor.
Therefore, Sun Jiagan was transferred from the Ministry of Rites to Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment.
Sun Jiagan is incorruptible
Sun Jiagan was not only outspoken, but also very incorruptible, and throughout his official career, he experienced the three dynasties of Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong, and he became a Qing official of the three dynasties.
Once, Sun Jiagan offended Yongzheng again, but the civil and military officials interceded for him, hoping to give him the opportunity to make meritorious contributions.
The unanimous evaluation of Sun Jiagan by hundreds of officials is "Sun Jiagan is too humble, but he does not love money." "
Although this assessment seems crude, it is extremely accurate.
In the end, Yongzheng "made the most of his resources", gave full play to his advantage of not loving money, and let him go to the treasury.
Because of this matter, he also provoked Prince Yunli to be unhappy, he thinks there are people in this world who do not love money?
Therefore, Yunli, the Prince of Guo, who is the leader of the household department, decided to conduct a surprise inspection to see if this Sun Jiagan really did not love money as rumored.
This check, Prince Guo Yunli was also convinced, not bad at all. Originally, he wanted to catch his little feet, but it turned out to help him show merit, and since then, Yongzheng has used him again.
Sun Jiagan's reputation as a Qing official spread widely, but when he returned to his hometown, he used several carriages to load dozens of boxes and returned to his hometown in a mighty manner. This soon reached Qianlong's ears, and some people even told Qianlong that this Sun Jiagan was a person who fished for fame and disguised himself as a Qing official.
On Sun Jiagan's way back to his hometown, he was sent by Qianlong
Secretly caught up, secretly checked it out, once
If the evidence is conclusive, it is necessary to start taking Sun Jiagan, the old
Thieves are brought to justice.
It's just that this check made Qianlong feel very embarrassed.
Because in these chests, no valuables were found, all of them were stones.
Later, after questioning, Qianlong suddenly realized.
It turned out that this Sun Jiagan had been an official and clean all his life, and when he returned to his hometown, he only had two sleeves of clean breeze.
It was originally a happy thing to return to his hometown, but Sun Jiagan felt that it was inappropriate for him to go back empty-handed, which would lose the face of the imperial court, so he came up with the idea of filling the box with stones to support the scene, giving the squires a false impression of wealth to save the face of the imperial court.
Therefore, Qianlong decreed that Sun Jiagan was heavy
Reward, specially sent someone to exchange his stone for silver
to recognize the recognition of honest officials.
It changed later
Two years after Sun Jiagan returned to his hometown, he was used by Qianlong.
However, his performance in his later years was very different from what he used to be.
In his later years, Sun Jiagan formulated a eight-covenant for himself to be an official: "Do things without showing themselves, share with others without arrogance, avoid their disputes, hide their merits in the unknown, stop at being able to go, delete their words are useless, keep themselves alone and avoid others, and get money cheaply." "
Generally speaking, it is to warn oneself that officials should be cautious in their words and deeds.
This way of acting as an official is in great contrast to Sun Jiagan's early outspokenness.
In Sun Jiagan's later years, a famous case occurred - the forgery script incident.
In the sixteenth year of Qianlong, there was a manuscript listing Qianlong's crimes, which was widely circulated in the form of private hand-copying, even throughout the country, and falsely claimed that Sun Jiagan was the author.
When Qianlong found out, he was furious and began a large-scale investigation, but he had no clue, and within a year, because the matter was widely involved, many officials died because of the incident.
After Sun Jiagan heard about this, he had long lost his previous courage, and he was so frightened that his soul flew away, and he burned all the "Spring and Autumn Yi", "Poems Deleted" and "Nanhuatong" that he had worked hard to write, afraid of leaving behind some kind of literary hell.
However, Sun Jiagan eventually died because of fear, which caused him to be afraid every day, and his condition worsened, and he died soon after.
Throughout Sun Jiagan's life, we can understand what ideals, reality and human nature are.
From a poor background, he became an officer in high school, to speak out, be a two-sleeved courtier, and finally cautiously become an official, and finally died in fear.
Sun Jiagan's life, inspirational, legendary and incorruptible, has become his widely spread quality.
In the end, in the face of life and death, the once "strong point order" has also become a cautious person, which is also human nature.
Fearless when poor, fearless after rich, regrettable ending.
