Important note: In the tenth year of the Kangxi Dynasty, Wei Yijie resigned and returned to his hometown. Kangxi appointed hundreds of imperial court officials to send Wei Yijie off along the way, and the scene was spectacular. Thirteen years later, Kangxi took the opportunity of his southern tour to make a special trip through Baixiang County to visit his teacher Wei Yijie. As a retired Han official, why did Wei Yijie let the Kangxi Emperor worry about his stomach? What is the story between them? Let's walk into Baixiang and walk into the Xiucai Camp in Baixiang.
After Wei Yijie left, the Kangxi Emperor pacified San Francisco, eradicated Aobai, and recovered Taiwan, experiencing wave after wave of ups and downs, thrilling and tribulations that cultivated him, making him grow from an ignorant child in his teens to a young and promising monarch. But now he seemed tired, he wanted to breathe, he wanted to use the opportunity of respite to meet his teacher, and it was with this difficult feeling that the Kangxi Emperor came to fulfill his dream after 13 years of separation from Wei Gelao. Perhaps, Wei Yijie's honesty and loyalty are the main reasons for his nostalgia.
After the Kangxi Emperor succeeded to the throne, he did not forget his mentor Wei Yijie, and revived the Wei Yijie who had been demoted by the previous emperor. First of all, he made up the original official, Kangxi ii years plus the crown prince Taibao, in May changed to the official Shangshu, in November of the following year again promoted to the inner secretary of the academy of university scholars. There is a reason for reusing Wei Yijie. On the one hand, Wei Yijie was the teacher of the Kangxi Emperor, and Wei Yijie's participation in politics and deliberation actually represented the opinion of the young emperor, and in a sense, Wei Yijie was a spokesman for the Kangxi Emperor. On the other hand, reusing Wei Yijie was the opinion of Empress Xiaozhuang Wen. When the Kangxi Emperor ascended the throne, he was only 8 years old, and the government was first assisted by four ministers, including Suksaha and Aobai, and then Aobai had monopoly power, and the auxiliary ministers were discordant. Empress Xiaozhuangwen adopted the method of "mixing sand" to allow Wei Yijie to enter the imperial government, playing a role in "reconciling" abnormal situations and acting as the ear and ear of the emperor and the empress. In the case of sharp confrontation with the contradictions of the same ethnic group, the intervention of a Hanchen did play a role in balancing the relationship. For Wei Jie's loyalty, the Kangxi Emperor was very clear, but Wei Jie's Geng Wei zhi and direct advice, so that the Kangxi Emperor, who had already held real power, had to let him suffer some hardships and even give some punishment for the sake of the overall situation of the dynasty and the strategy of Wei Sheng's politics, but in the depths of the ten days and hundreds of seas in his heart, he had respected Kangxi for eight years, and the 16-year-old Kangxi designed to cut off Ao bai, abolish the auxiliary political system, take back the power of Zhu Pi, and start pro-government. Wei Yijie was a wise man, the political enemies around the emperor were not approved by others, and his task was completed, so in the thirtieth year of Kangxi's formal pro-government, that is, in the tenth year of Kangxi, he asked to resign and tell the old Kangxi Emperor to return to his hometown, the 18-year-old Kangxi Emperor knew wei Ge's good intentions, approved his request, and when Wei Yijie told the old man to return to his hometown and leave Beijing, he privately assigned hundreds of court officials to send Wei Yijie off along the way, and the scene was spectacular. He knew that Elder Wei Ge did not like this custom with false elements, but only in this way could he express the gratitude of an emperor to his mentor. 13 years later, he still thinks about his teacher, and he still misses his teacher.
Wei Yijie also seemed to be waiting for this day.
In the past 16 years since returning to his hometown, in addition to making some articles, Wei Yijie has worked hard to stay away from everything he has experienced in the past or in the past, teaching the children of his neighbors, taking time to do some farm work, planting some melon beans in front of and behind the house, and walking around the fields day and night. People only know him as an old country man, and seem to have forgotten his past, and his once prominent official position. But when the people use him, he will stand up. In the seventeenth year of the Kangxi Dynasty, Baixiang, Longping, and Ningjin suffered a terrible flood, and in order to relieve the hardships of the local people, Wei Yijie came forward to join hands with local officials to report the disaster to the Household Department. When Kangxi learned of this, he granted permission to exempt the three counties from all differential donations and exempt the three counties from three-tenths of the agricultural tax.
Wei Yijie learned in advance of the news that the Kangxi Emperor had visited him, although he was nearly 70 years old, had experienced the great winds and waves in the dynasty, experienced happy events, evil things, and dangerous events, and was at an age when he was not alarmed, but today He could not do it in the "Xiucai Camp" in Baixiang, and he had some souls. He remembered Kangxi, the little emperor. Kangxi has three bloodlines, his father is Manchurian, his grandmother is Mongolian, his mother is Han Chinese, he has the inheritance of Manchu culture, the influence of Confucian culture, and the infiltration of Buddhist culture. He was a strange man, a famous emperor throughout the ages, and Wei Yijie was convinced of this.
One morning in late September, the wind in the countryside was still a little hot in autumn, and the people of the ancient city of Baixiang were waiting for the Arrival of the Kangxi Emperor. Near noon, surrounded by civil and military officials, the Kangxi Emperor came to the village where Wei Yijie lived. When Li Bi got up, the Kangxi Emperor noticed dozens of bare-buttocked boys kneeling behind Wei Yijie.
Somehow, the Kangxi Emperor looked at the villager-like Wei Yijie and asked. Wei Yijie hurriedly replied: "Back to the emperor's words, after the old minister returned to his hometown, he taught the village children to read some of the Four Books and Five Classics, and these children were very motivated, and the old minister took pleasure in this and was very relieved." When the emperor arrived, the old minister brought the children to prostrate together!"
Kangxi saw the simple and innocent images of the children, remembered the scene when he was a child and studied with Wei Yijie as a teacher, and was happy from his heart, so he asked a question to test the boy. The result was very satisfactory, and he ordered someone to reward him, but he also realized the intention of the old minister Wei Yijie. Said: The teacher's merit is very good, for the country and the people to bring out so many talents, you are really a talent camp here!
Wei Yijie was overjoyed to hear this, and he immediately beckoned the villagers and children, prostrated their heads and bowed their heads, thanking the Lord long. Since then, the legend of "Xiucai Camp" has become famous all over the world.
In his later years, Wei Yijie entertained himself with books, and wrote thousands of volumes of works such as "XiXianLu", "Kunlin On Transcription", "Collection of Appreciation of Ancient Texts", "Commentary on the Yin Rune Classic", and "Li Lin Puppet Pen", collectively known as "The Collection of Jianjitang Anthology". During the Spring Festival of the 25th year of the Kangxi Dynasty, Wei Yijie wrote a couplet and posted it on his doorstep.
He called himself "The aconitum prime minister returned to the forest, and for six years he often thought about dry wings; the white-haired book was born to celebrate youth, and for seventy-one years he forgot to tremble and tremble." In April of that year, Wei Shangjie died of dental disease at the age of 71. When the Kangxi Emperor learned of this, he sent officials to take silver thousand taels in place of the imperial court for burial. During the Yongzheng period, the Yongzheng Emperor enshrined the Ancestral Hall of The Wise Men. In the first year of Qianlong, the Qianlong Emperor personally wrote an inscription and posthumously praised "Wen Yi".
