Kangxi Dynasty
Yao Qisheng's ancestral grave was dug up twice by the villagers
Why did he kowtow to the villagers
Before talking about this
Let's first look at the background at that time
Yao Qisheng took Kangxi's holy will and went to Fujian to serve as governor
In fact, before Yao Qisheng
There was no idea of entering the Qing court as an official at all
Otherwise, I wouldn't be promoted every time
They were all demoted again and again because of some small things
Even in the Shunzhi period, he issued orders
He said that he would no longer hire Yao Qisheng
Yao Qisheng was recommended by Zhou Peigong to Kangxi
For a wonderful person with such a wonderful resume
Kangxi openly violated his ancestral precepts and invited him to join the dynasty as an official
For Yao Qisheng
This is not just the sense of excellence of joining the DPRK as an official
It is also the joy of Maxima being appreciated by Bole
A sentence like the former emperor blamed only Xuan Ye alone
And words that have nothing to do with Yao Qisheng
Let Yao Qisheng be more determined to fight for Qing's life
After Yao Qisheng arrived in Fujian, he immediately began to rectify
A decree was issued to seal the sea and move the border
The first order for the prohibition of the relocation of the boundary was issued
It was resisted by the coastal people of Fujian
In fact, after this decree was issued
Even some ministers in the imperial court voted against it
For example, Wei Dongting and Suo Ertu and Mingzhu and others
Wei Dongting was issued after the boundary was moved to the forbidden sea
Taxes in the coastal areas cannot go up
If the tax could not be collected, it would not be possible to complete Kangxi's plan to collect money
Pearl and Soetu objected
Obviously because Yao Qisheng was reused
In addition, there were many homicides at that time because of the relocation of the border and the prohibition of the sea
The two feared that Yao Qisheng would be reused and endanger their rights and interests
So at this point
It is rare for the two to unanimously agree on Yao Qisheng
There was opposition in the imperial court
And the people along the coast of Fujian
Even more, he vented all his anger on Yao Qisheng
The people united to dig up Yao Qisheng's ancestral grave
Yao Qisheng was not only not angry
On the contrary, it is understandable for the people to do so
After all, let them leave the place where their ancestors lived
His men offered to put to death the villagers who had dug up their ancestral graves
It was also directly rejected by Yao Qisheng
Yao Qisheng moved the bones of the ancestral tomb to another place
As a result, the ancestral grave was dug up again
Yao Qisheng was in excruciating pain
Burn the bones of the ancestral graves into ashes and scatter them into the sea
Then openly kneel before the people
Yao Qisheng was a Han Chinese
He should not have served the Qing court and been a pawn of the Manchus
But that's what yao qisheng did
He wasn't for fame and fortune
And just to see his value of Bó Lè
The reason why he knelt down for the villagers
There are no more than these two reasons
One is to kneel down for the fathers and fellow villagers and all the Han compatriots
He is Han Chinese
He also vowed not to enter the Qing court as an official
But in the end, he went to the Qing court to become an official
For Yao Qisheng, he betrayed his promise
He wants to 'have his own selfish desires'
In order to repay Kangxi's appreciation
Betrayed the vows he had made
On one side is the Kangxi who appreciates himself
On the other side are their fellow countrymen
Yao Qisheng was in a dilemma
Although the villagers dug his ancestral grave
But he really couldn't stand the folks
So kowtow at this time
It also has the meaning of buying people's hearts
Though you dug up the grave of his ancestors
But instead of blaming them, people are frantically admitting their mistakes
I feel sorry for the people who dug the graves of their ancestors
At this time, the people will be less resistant
The second reason for kneeling
He knelt not with anyone else but with the Kangxi Emperor
Although the world is full of people
But Kangxi also used Han Chinese
Although Hanchen was not reused in the Qing court
Or hold any high-ranking official position
But there is no doubt about it
The status of Han Chen was promoted during the Kangxi Period
And why did Yao Qisheng kneel to the Kangxi Emperor?
It is precisely because Kangxi's appreciation is like Bole
In order to appoint Yao Qisheng as a talent
He would rather go against his ancestral precepts
It is also because of this kindness
So Yao Qisheng had no teeth to forget
What do you think of Kangxi's military closure?
