On January 3, 1999, the TV series "Yongzheng Dynasty" was released, and after its release, it can be described as a hugely praised, setting a new record rating and winning a number of awards.
This TV series can be described as a "fairy lineup", the protagonist Yongzheng Emperor is played by Tang Guoqiang, the Kangxi Emperor is played by Jiao Huang, the biggest villain Lao Ba is played by Wang Yichun, the workplace master Zhang Tingyu is played by mr. Du Yulu, who has passed away, the indispensable general Nian Qianyao is played by Du Zhiguo, and the Yongzheng pet minister Li Wei is played by Li Yi.
It can be said that under the interpretation of many actors and old drama bones, many historical figures in this TV series have become the most recognized version of the public, which is also an important reason why this TV series can endure for a long time; like Du Zhiguo's version of Nian Tangyao, let people watch the Yongzheng Dynasty TV series, feel that this is the real Nian Tangyao, and then look at other versions of Nian Tangyao, feel that there are obvious performance traces, feel that it is boring.
In addition, the "Yongzheng Dynasty" TV series also has a major innovation, that is, before the yongzheng dynasty TV series was released, the Yongzheng Emperor in everyone's impression, belongs to the "tyrant" positioning, when the Yongzheng Emperor in the TV series is basically a sinister and vicious person, belongs to the negative characters, and after the Yongzheng Dynasty TV series was broadcast, it can be said that this situation was reversed in one fell swoop, and the Yongzheng Emperor also began to move from negative figures to positive, and invisibly changed the public's "tyrant" positioning for the Yongzheng Emperor.
Objectively speaking, although the "Yongzheng Dynasty" TV series has a wonderful plot and the actors are in place, the portrayal of the Yongzheng Emperor is somewhat over-ornamented, so it is not recognized by many people, and even believes that it is excessively beautifying the Yongzheng Emperor.
In the play, although the Yongzheng Emperor is a lone minister, although he is impatient, but the opponent is not bad, for the brother who opposes him everywhere, because of the deathbed instructions of his father, the Kangxi Emperor, he is also a bearer and a bearer, and he can't bear it before he shoots, for Jiangshan Sheji, he is also dedicated, in order to implement the new policy, he does not hesitate to offend the world's readers, the result is not understood by many people, and even said to be a very evil person, can be described as quite aggrieved, even a suffocating, is a good emperor for the country and the people, is a misunderstood wronged emperor, Also a nice guy who has been misunderstood.
So what about the Yongzheng Emperor in history? Today Song Anzhi came to talk about it in detail.
Although the Yongzheng Emperor was not a tyrant, he was also not a good stubble, and he was quite cruel to his brothers
What kind of emperor was the Yongzheng Emperor?
Some people think that he is a tyrant, and some people think that he is a good emperor and a good person as portrayed in the "Yongzheng Dynasty" TV series.
In fact, the Yongzheng Emperor in history was not a tyrant, nor a good man, but a harsh and fierce emperor in between.
Like in the Yong opera, the Yongzheng Emperor was kind and righteous to his brothers who opposed him, and it was after the Eight Kings discussed the government that he couldn't bear it before he took care of them.
In fact, in history, the Yongzheng Emperor did not have such a kind heart, nor did he drag the mud and water, after he sat firmly on the throne, in the third year of Yongzheng began to act against the old eighty-one party, and by the fourth year of Yongzheng, basically the overall situation had been decided, the old eighth was deprived of his knighthood and imprisoned, and he died of illness in the forbidden place, and it was likely that he was poisoned; the old ninth was imprisoned by Li Fu, the governor of the direct subordination, and tortured to death in prison.
Old Tenth and Old Fourteen were imprisoned all the time, and in the lifetime of Yongzheng, they were not released until the Qianlong period.
As for the neutral faction of the third elder, it was the most wronged, has been suppressed by the Yongzheng Emperor, first sent to Zunhua Ma Lanyu for kangxi to guard the mausoleum, Yin Zhi was dissatisfied with private complaints, and then after the death of the old thirteen yi prince, the third elder did not arrive, and lacked mourning, Yongzheng actually used this as an excuse to take the old third knighthood and imprisoned him in the Jingshan Yong'an Pavilion, and finally the third elder was depressed.
In terms of real history, the Yongzheng Emperor was not a good stubble, and after sitting on the throne, he took the nine sons away, except for the old thirteenth brother of his own faction, as well as the eldest brother and the second brother (the deposed prince) who were imprisoned as early as the Kangxi period, the other brothers were cleaned up, and the means were poisonous.
Second, the Yongzheng Emperor was also quite cruel and strange to his subordinates
In the fourth year of Yongzheng, there was a "Case of Examination Questions in the Examination Field of the Zha Si Ting", which simply means that Zha Si Ting, as the chief examiner, came out with the title of "Wei Min Suo", but some people reported that the word "Wei Zhi" was the beginning of the word "Yongzheng", which meant that he was going to the head of the Yongzheng Emperor.
The Yongzheng Emperor knew that this alone could not cure his crime, and searched his home, found words critical of the politics of the Kangxi Dynasty, and finally had a basis for conviction, although at that time Cha Si Ting had committed suicide in prison, but was still killed by the corpse.
Why did the Yongzheng Emperor treat Cha Si Ting so fussily, insisting on finding evidence to punish him, in fact, the key reason was that Cha Si Ting was of the Longke multi faction, so he enjoyed Yong Zheng's "intimate" treatment.
Also in the fourth year of Yongzheng, after Nian Qianyao was given death, the Yongzheng Emperor then liquidated his henchmen, like Qian Mingshi, because he gave Nian Qianyao a few poems and praised his merits in pacifying Qinghai, just because of this, he was hated by the Yongzheng Emperor.
The Yongzheng Emperor convicted him of "flattering and praising adultery", stripped him of his title, sent him back to his original hometown, and personally wrote down a plaque of "Famous Sect Sinner" and ordered him to hang it on the door of his home, which was not the end of it, and the Yongzheng Emperor also ordered all the officials in the imperial court who were good at writing articles to write a poem to denounce his crimes, which was simply unprecedented.
As for Long Keduo and Nian Qianyao, who had great merits for Yongzheng's ascension to the throne, they were also liquidated one by one after the Yongzheng Emperor used it, one was imprisoned forever, and the other was given death.
Third, the succession of the Yongzheng Emperor is full of mysteries and has a usurpation controversy
The controversy over whether Yongzheng usurped the throne has now formed a strange situation.
People who really know the history of the time naturally understand where the key points of this controversy are. Many readers who do not understand history, influenced by TV dramas such as "Yongzheng Dynasty", have formed seemingly self-justification, but in fact full of loopholes, first of all, they believe that the theories about Yongzheng usurpation of the throne are rumors, based on the "Kangxi Testament" written in four copies, written in three languages of Manchu And hanmeng, and believe that having a "Kangxi Testament" is enough to prove that the succession of the Yongzheng Emperor is legitimate and undisputed.
However, the "Kangxi Testament" does not prove anything, because the "Kangxi Testament" was not written by the Kangxi Emperor himself, but was written only three days after the death of the Kangxi Emperor, and the testament is indeed difficult to change, but three days is enough to write the content that those in power are satisfied with.
There are also records about the death of the Kangxi Emperor, the Yongzheng Emperor's statement is also contradictory, at first it was said that Longkeduo was alone at the scene, and after cleaning up the political enemies such as the Eight Ye Party and completely sitting on the throne, the theory became that there were seven princes present when the Kangxi Emperor died, which means that his succession is not controversial, and there are witnesses from other brothers, so it is really unbelievable that such inconsistencies are really unbelievable.
After Yongzheng's death, his son Qianlong Emperor also knew that his father's statement behind him was unreliable, so when he mentioned the Yongzheng Emperor's succession, he only said that Longke was alone.
Of course, there are other mysteries, such as the Yongzheng Emperor who immediately stripped the old fourteen of his military powers after succeeding to the throne, giving people a sense of reasonableness.
However, on the whole, the Yongzheng Emperor only had a dispute over whether to usurp the throne, not that he must have usurped the throne, and the Yongzheng Emperor was indeed heavily used before the death of the Kangxi Emperor, such as letting him perform the heavenly ceremony on his behalf.
In the "Yongzheng Dynasty" TV series, of course, it is not limited to the Yongzheng Dynasty TV series, in many TV series, the Yongzheng Emperor is the undisputed successor, and the princes such as Lao Ba are excessively blackened.
Finally, to sum up, the yongzheng emperor in history is not a good stubble, not a good person, cruel to brothers, harsh on his subordinates, of course, in terms of the achievements of governing the country, he is a good emperor, what to say about this, can not fully deny the Yongzheng Emperor, nor can it just praise the Yongzheng Emperor.
The TV series represented by the Yong opera obviously seem to portray the Yongzheng Emperor's lonely subjects, and are impatient, but in fact, the overall praise is too much, and it is not objective, so many people think that it is excessively beautified by the Yongzheng Emperor.
Personally, I think that TV dramas portray historical figures, in fact, do not have to be facial, do not have to be uniform, do not have to be black and white, for historical figures, either pick up a good praise, or pick up a bad one of the strong denial, giving people a sense of detachment from reality, not to say that the symbol does not conform to history, at least it lacks a sense of reality, the characters can be more full, and the result is often unsatisfactory in black and white.
Thank you for watching Song Anzhi's exclusive original article, focusing on the history of the Ming and Qing dynasties and its great history of China, like to talk about those immutable histories from a different perspective, I think friends can remember to like and pay attention to Ha.
