During the Kangxi Dynasty, the people lived in stability and peace. To achieve such a peaceful and prosperous world, not only a good emperor, but also the officials who are loyal to the country are also the first to contribute, and the immortal minister Zhou Peigong is an example.
For the Qing Dynasty to quell the Rebellion of the Three Domains, it was eventually sent to the bitter cold land, and the emperor was worried that the courtiers would make great contributions, make great achievements, and rebel, so often the officials who made great military achievements would eventually be assigned by the emperor to step up their precautions so as not to threaten the imperial power.
After all, Huang Taiji is a Manchu, and he is reluctant to reuse Han people after entering the customs, and Kangxi is naturally like this, and there are three Han people who are reused by Kangxi in the TV series "Kangxi Dynasty", Zhou Peigong, Yao Qisheng, and Li Guangdi.
Zhou Peigong recommended Yao Qisheng to Kangxi when he was dying, and at the time when the country was recovering Taiwan's employment, Kangxi should reuse this person to solve the country's urgent needs. However, the Shunzhi Emperor had ordered that Yao Qisheng would never be hired.
What did Yao Qisheng do to make the cherished people obey such a holy will? How did Kangxi reuse him? Does his ability match the recommendation of Pei Gong last week?
Today, let us follow in the footsteps of Yao Qisheng to experience a life of ups and downs. Before starting today's content, don't forget to pay attention to it and don't miss the wonderful past content.
Yao Qisheng is really not an ordinary person, other people's officials are getting bigger and bigger, but he is getting smaller and smaller. During the Shunzhi period, he was appointed as the inspector of Erpin Fujian, but he was reduced to the Jiupin Si Stable Palace, why did such a rise and fall?
The reason is that Yao Qisheng, like Zhou Peigong, has the arrogance and purity of a literati, and he is unwilling to join forces with those officials who tend to be inflamed and subordinate, repeatedly disobeying the orders of his superiors, and is always impeached by those who are not accustomed to him.
After knowing that Zhou Pei was sent to a remote area by Kangxi after the pacification of San Francisco by the Gonggong, Yao Qisheng saw through the hypocrisy and exploitation of the Qing Dynasty, and he was even more reluctant to serve the Qing Dynasty, and was demoted all the way to the bitter cold as his Jiupin Sesame Official, and Kangxi even ordered that Yao Qisheng would never be hired.
In the ice and snow, Yao Qisheng alone is in charge of this horse farm, he is both the boss and the employee, a person who does not have the sinister and trap of the official field, it can also be regarded as leisurely, so decades have passed.
At that time, Kangxi was planning to recover Taiwan, and when no one was available, Zhou Peigong recommended Yao Qisheng, and Kangxi knew that Yao Qisheng's ability was not under Zhou Peigong, but he was very hesitant.
He knew this Yao Qisheng's attitude towards the Qing Dynasty, and more importantly, he also ordered that Yao Qisheng would never be hired, and it would be difficult to reactivate Yao Qisheng.
But in the face of the State, these difficulties must be overcome. Yao Qisheng was relegated to the horse farm by himself to watch the horses, and Kangxi did not know what kind of attitude he had now, so he sent his eunuch Li Dequan to explore Yao Qisheng's tone.
Li Dequan was a red man around Kangxi, and he was flattered in the palace, so when he arrived at Yao Qisheng, he naturally had to put up a shelf, and when he arrived at Yao Qisheng's territory, he bullied women and children.
Yao Qisheng was most unaccustomed to these bullying people, so he retaliated and punished Li Dequan, who could not gain the upper hand here in Yao Qisheng.
Kangxi was angry at Li Dequan's bullying, and even more hated Yao Qisheng's eyes, so Kangxi casually charged Yao Qisheng with a crime and threw him into prison.
In the days of imprisonment, Yao Qisheng lived comfortably, sleeping until he woke up naturally after every day after drinking and eating, and complaining about the mistakes of the imperial court when he was idle, but no one spoke to him.
Kangxi knew that Yao Qisheng, as a reader, was best at eloquence, and just imagine that the empty prison was the greatest torture for someone like Yao Qisheng who could speak eloquently.
Kangxi's move was to thwart Yao Qisheng's vigor. Yao Qisheng was about to collapse in the silent prison, and on the way back to the capital, Kangxi was worried that the elderly Yao Qisheng could not withstand the cold of the ice and snow in the prison cart, and specially ordered someone to call Yao Qisheng into his carriage.
Kangxi was the emperor after all, and Yao Qisheng saw Bi Gongbi kneeling in the corner of the carriage, and the stove on the carriage eased the cold on Yao Qisheng's body, and he stared at the books on the carriage in a blink of an eye.
Yao Qisheng was also a reader no matter how he was, books were the most attractive to him, Kangxi saw Yao Qisheng's intentions and said to him, "Allow you to read the books of Yuan", Yao Qisheng was overjoyed, picked up the books and looked at them with relish, and for a time there was only the sound of books on the carriage.
When he got off the bus, Yao Qisheng took the book he had not finished reading into his arms, and late at night he was still sleeping and forgetting to eat and drink by the faint light.
Kangxi was worried that Taiwan could not sleep at night, stood outside for a long time, and unconsciously walked to Yao Qisheng's tent, and Yao Qisheng was quietly reading.
Kangxi coldly said to him, "I would hate to kill you", why? Kangxi had always cherished talent, so how could he say such a thing to Yao Qisheng, who had the talent of jingwei? Since he hated him so much, why did Kangxi reuse him? Don't worry, let's take our time.
Kangxi's words made Yao Qisheng very confused, and he knelt down and said, "The sinner did something wrong and made the emperor want to kill the subject", Kangxi pointed out that Yao Qisheng's sin was not in the act, but in the heart.
Just as Kangxi was reluctant to reuse the Han, Yao Qisheng, as a Han, naturally looked down on the Manchus, and how the Manchu swords, guns, swords and crossbows could compare with the way of Kong and Meng, which had been passed down for thousands of years, Yao Qisheng was such an idea.
Listening to Kangxi's three-point direct evaluation of the key points, which opened Yao Qisheng's originally defensive heart, Kangxi continued, "Don't look at your respectful kneeling in front of Yuan, in your heart you may not be able to look at Yuan."
For such an invincible talent as Yao Qisheng, he wanted to kill them to preserve their dignity, and because of their talents, he had to leave their lives, Kangxi was really helpless.
Kangxi then said, "I have killed you a thousand times in my heart, but I can't kill you", in fact, at this time Kangxi decided that no matter whether Yao Qisheng could use it for himself or not, he would not kill him.
Worthy of being an emperor through the ages, with such a heart and temperament, Yao Qisheng was impressed by such a Kangxi. On this night, the two men exchanged sorrows and spoke their minds, and Kangxi invited Yao Qisheng to attend tomorrow's feast day.
At night, the holy car returned to Beijing, and the city of Beijing was silent, there was no riot, no refugees, and the people all relied on it, and such a scene all depended on kangxi's shengming.
Along the way, seeing the lives of the people, Yao Qisheng's heart had a great change in Kangxi, and the Qing Dynasty became more and more prosperous in the hands of Kangxi.
Yao Qisheng did not disappoint Kangxi, and in his early morning prayer at the Feast Day, he put forward the "Three Must Suppression and Three Must Care Policy" for recovering Taiwan, which was full of praise, and Yao Qisheng proved his ability to Kangxi.
Kangxi, who was determined to hire Yao Qisheng, immediately burned the Shunzhi Emperor's unhindered fold and appointed Yao Qisheng as the governor of Fujian with full authority for the collection of Taiwan, which was undoubtedly the greatest trust in Yao Qisheng.
Yao Qisheng was so highly valued by Kangxi that some officials in the DPRK secretly impeached Yao Qisheng, but they had not yet found his handle. Since we want to recover Taiwan, there will certainly be wars.
In order not to let innocent people be implicated by the war, the people in Fujian and other areas had to move inland. How did the people know the policy of the imperial court to recover Taiwan, they only knew that someone forced them to leave their homeland, they wanted to defend their homeland, to oppose Yao Qisheng, and for a while the people's resentment was rife.
Officials in the DPRK and China began to maliciously impeach him, and some reckless and ignorant villagers went to planing the ancestral graves of Yao Qisheng's family, and Yao Qisheng was heartbroken.
He was so retaliated against for their own good, but for these villagers, Yao Qisheng did not arrest and question them, he chose to forgive and forgive, he knew what the people were thinking in their hearts, and he understood their difficulties.
Under the sincere persuasion of Yao Qisheng, the people of Fujian were also moved, and their withdrawal laid a solid foundation for the subsequent reconquest of Taiwan in the sea.
During this period, the imperial court's important ministers Mingzhu and Soltu did not hesitate to embarrass Yao Qisheng, and in the face of the deliberate difficulties of these two old foxes in the official field, Yao Qisheng was calm and calm, and under the pressure exerted by both sides, he saved himself, and even ensured the implementation of the strategy of recovering Taiwan.
After three years of unremitting efforts, Taiwan once again returned to the embrace of the motherland, and Yao Qisheng suffered too many grievances in order to recover Taiwan during this period, and did not dare to forget the great cause of the motherland's reunification for a single day.
After Taiwan's successful return, Yao Qisheng should be promoted to the rank of official and the emperor, but he refused Kangxi's gracious invitation and asked Kangxi to resign and return home for the elderly, which reflected Yao Qisheng's cleverness.
In the past few years of staying in the DPRK, Yao Qisheng was well aware of the deceit of the officialdom, and the arrogance of the literati in his bones made him unwilling to become a person like Mingzhu and Soltu, and even more unwilling to follow in the footsteps of Zhou Peigong.
Why not take the initiative to resign and go home for the elderly, and strive for a quiet and peaceful old age for yourself, which is one; second, the glory and wealth, for an old man over half a hundred years old, it is already a floating cloud, and it is better to hold a book and read it carefully, slowly considering, which is several times more relaxed than in this official field;
Third, they are Han Chinese, Han people have made such a great contribution, the emperor will be jealous, manchurian magnates will continue to suppress themselves, rather than being assigned to remote areas, it is better to go to the place they want to go to quiet pension.
Kangxi had always loved and cherished talent, and in the face of this Yao Qisheng, who made him love and hate, even if he was unwilling in his heart, he still agreed to his request.
However, Kangxi did not let him go home, but rewarded him with the palace in Hangzhou and gave him the title of 'Marquis of West Lake', including the exquisite collection of books in the palace.
Such a great hero Kangxi still had a jealous heart, and the emperor's vastness was inevitable to be surveillance, which was just a form for Yao Qisheng.
Yao Qisheng also lived the life he wanted in his old age, and his life was considered to be complete! The ending of the real Yao Qisheng in history is not as satisfactory as in the TV series.
After the successful return of Taiwan, Yao Qisheng stayed in Fuzhou, and not long after, he died of an old back disease at the age of sixty. This old man's life has ups and downs, tasting the world's hot and cold, full of taste of life.
The happy ending in the TV series "Kangxi Dynasty" can be regarded as making up for his regrets, this old man will stay in the land he guards forever!
