Zhu Shi: Moved Yongzheng, beat Qianlong, promoted to 8 levels in 6 months, Zhang Tingyu is his successor. Zhu Shi, this name may not be well-known to too many people at the moment, but he is a representative of the style of a generation of famous ministers in the Qing Dynasty. In the three dynasties of Kang Yongqian, Zhu Shi not only played an important role as a cabinet minister, but also served as an imperial teacher for Emperor Qianlong. He was a noble Confucian, an honest official, and a benevolent and virtuous elder. An old minister touched two kings with his actions, what an extraordinary personality charm?
In the politics of the government and the opposition full of intrigue and intrigue, why does Zhu Shi's wisdom and courage stand out? Under the many tests of the Three Dynasties, how did he abide by his ethics and not change his original intention? The wonderful life of this famous minister of the Qing Dynasty is enough to make future generations awe-inspired.
Zhu Shi was born in the fourth year of Kangxi (1665) and was born in a scholarly family in Gao'an, Jiangxi. In the thirty-second year of Kangxi, he won the title of Xie Yuan, and the following year he was successfully named on the gold list, and since then he has embarked on the road of official career. As a new science and technology jinshi, Zhu Shi quickly showed extraordinary talent, and was exceptionally promoted in just half a year, all the way from the grassroots county order to the important position of the third grade.
He was an honest and honest official, and he was uncompromising even in poor living conditions. Once, Yinzhen, the prince of Emperor Yongzheng, visited Zhu Shi's house during his inspection, only to see that Zhu Gong's hospitality banquet was only one extremely simple four dishes and one soup. For a while, Yinzhen had a lot of complaints, but after learning about Zhu Shi's poor nature, he was deeply moved, and sincerely admired his loyal and unswerving official character.
It is this tenacity and ethics that have made Zhu Shi repeatedly affirmed in his career. After Emperor Yongzheng ascended the throne, he not only personally summoned him back to the capital, but also let him participate in the compilation of the "Records of the Ancestors of the Qing Dynasty", served as the minister of the Southern Study, and awarded important positions such as the title of secretary of the ministry. What's even more amazing is that Emperor Yongzheng not only gave Zhu Shi's mother the honor of "Decree", but also personally ordered the governor of Jiangxi to go to Zhu's house to mourn and take care of Zhu's mother's funeral.
It is rare for an emperor to care so much for an old minister. This not only demonstrates the foresight and wisdom of Emperor Yongzheng, but also reflects Zhu Shi's noble character of being an upright official. Only with this agreement can we know each other and cherish each other. Who says the truth of the world is that far away? As long as one person upholds the true and kind heart, he can win the respect and appreciation of the other.
In Zhu Shi's body, we see the Confucian demeanor of the unity of knowledge and action. Although he came from a humble background, he worked hard to cultivate and self-motivated, was not confused by the color of wine, and was diligent and studious. It is this strict self-demanding style that made him praised by his teacher at the age of 18 as "a rare erudite and well-read material". As an imperial teacher, Zhu Shi was also strict with Hongli (Emperor Qianlong), and once he slacked off, he ruthlessly moved the ruler, and Qianlong later praised him as a good teacher who was conscientious.
The benevolent character is Zhu Shi's unique personality charm. In his era of supremacy of power, Zhu Shi repeatedly advocated justice for the small people and maintained social fairness and justice. He not only pleaded for Nian Qianyao's father Nian Yaoling and was pardoned by Yongzheng, but also advocated "stopping donations" for Shanxi disaster relief, reducing the heavy burden of the victims, and helping countless people who fell into famine due to drought.
Even in the sinister competition between the government and the opposition, Zhu Shi did not flinch. When Emperor Yongzheng interrogated Wang and Liu in the early years, Zhu Shi withstood a lot of pressure and avenged the grievances of the two, and his tenacious character made Yongzheng admire. Yongzheng is also well aware of Zhu Shi's "kind" nature, so he often asks Zhu Shi to preside over the review of major cases.
Zhu Shi, who is in a high position, never plays a score, but always has a pure heart. After Qianlong ascended the throne, many courtiers tried to offer courtesy to the new emperor and crowded the troops, Zhu Shi had unique insight and dredged the path of Zhang Tingyu, an important minister of military aircraft, for Emperor Qianlong. It was with Zhang Tingyu's assistance that Qianlong was able to further sweep away the remaining resistance to party struggle and make every effort to create a prosperous era.
It is worth mentioning that Zhu Shi himself is also a literati with deep cultural accomplishments. He has read a lot of books and has conducted in-depth research on literature and art such as poetry, calligraphy and painting, music, etc., and many of his works have been handed down. Even in his twilight years, his spiritual life was extremely colorful, and he did not change his true nature of hard work and studious when he was young. Perhaps it is this persistent learning attitude that makes Zhu Shi also have extraordinary attainments in art and humanities, and become an all-round cultural master.
During Qianlong's reign, Zhu Shi never neglected political affairs because of old age. He often corrected the folding documents in the middle of the night, corrected the "Actual Record" and revised it everywhere. When Qianlong went to court, he always waited outside the palace gate early, and he didn't dare to be slacking off. This kind of down-to-earth style of doing things personally allowed Zhu Shi to retain his former prestige and achievements until he was eighty years old.
Such a virtuous and respected old minister naturally has many people in the world who criticize him. Someone once went to Shu Qianlong and demanded that Zhu Shi be deposed, on the grounds that "old age and weakness and hoarseness are thin". However, Qianlong was extraordinary, and he personally gave a strong reply to Zhu Shi, praising "although this old minister is old and deaf, he is knowledgeable." In one sentence, he spoke highly of Zhu Shi's valuable intelligence and extraordinary insight despite his high age.
Zhu Shi was honest and honest all his life, and his moral character was noble. Although he came from a humble background, he eventually became a famous minister of the Three Dynasties with his tenacious desire for knowledge and his devotion to science. Not only that, but he also made great contributions in protecting the people and upholding justice, and realized the ideal personality of a Confucian benevolent. From the legendary life story of this virtuous old minister, we see the eternal value of the spiritual realm, and we also see the precious character strength that should be upheld in dealing with people. As future generations, we should take Zhu Shi as a role model and encourage ourselves to pursue noble sentiments, and at the same time, we must have the courage and wisdom to defend social justice. Only in this way can we achieve the lofty ideals of Confucianism and achieve the vast and grand value of life. #头条首发大赛#
