[Comprehensive] The Giant of the Red Chamber

The courtiers thought that once the cold-faced Wang Fu of the past came to the throne, he would definitely take strict precautions against his former brothers. Even if the preferential treatment appeared on the surface, it was probably only a stopgap measure. The brothers were honored and favored, allowing them to hold real power, and even their old enemies in the past were treated preferentially. Not to mention being crowned king one by one, they were even arranged to run errands in various ministries.As a result, the courtiers had the illusion that the cold-faced king was not really ruthless, and the new emperor might prefer a gentle strategy, and those courtiers who had stood in line secretly breathed a sigh of relief.It's a pity that they were relieved too early. The following policies made the previous court almost complain from top to bottom. The courtiers finally faced the iron and blood methods of Emperor Yongzheng.

In the first year of Yongzheng, Emperor Yongzheng accepted the suggestion of Shanxi Governor Nuo Min, and implemented the policy of returning the consumption to the public and raising the clean bank, so as to increase the central fiscal revenue and limit local excessive expropriation, in order to alleviate the long-standing deficit of the national treasury.In the second year, Emperor Yongzheng decided to strictly investigate the serious shortage of money and food in the last years of Kangxi, and ransacked the homes of corrupt officials to recover stolen goods, and ordered the collection of people who defaulted on them in a short period of time. Among them, the Zhen family in Jiangnan was the first. The Jia family in the capital.At the same time, it is required that all deficiencies in the localities should be made up within three years. If the limit is not enough, they will be punished severely.

Using these policies did fill part of the treasury in a short period of time, but the Northwest continued to use troops, and the conflict with the Junggar tribe continued to intensify. This extremely money-burning war could not be stopped for a while. Seeing that the silver was carried into the treasury, it was moved out. , Emperor Yongzheng decided to follow the example of Zhuge Kongming in the Three Kingdoms period, and ordered the Northwest Army to grow grain in their spare time to alleviate the shortage of military pay. Fortunately, the new species had already been popularized. .Therefore, the two most trusted brothers of Emperor Yongzheng are in charge of internal affairs at the thirteenth, and at the fourteenth to quell the chaos in the northwest. Both internal and external troubles are guarded by trustworthy brothers. Yongzheng is more relaxed than in history, and he can concentrate on promoting him. A series of reforms have long been envisaged.

Perhaps Emperor Yongzheng's journey from the bald elder brother to the emperor's honor was relatively smooth in this life. Even if he has been dormant and silent for many years, there are many thrilling twists and turns, but in fact he has not experienced too much except for the Thirteenth Incident. How painful and depressing, on the contrary, there is a mother who supports him in the palace, and there are wives and concubines who are considerate and always accompany him in the palace. Even the heirs are rare and lush among brothers. He has not experienced a long period of walking alone in history. In the dark and cold time, he treated his former brothers with a little more tolerance.Or maybe Emperor Yongzheng was actively devoting himself to the reform of official administration, focusing on increasing fiscal revenue and resolving crony disputes in the late Kangxi period, so he couldn't get away for a while and couldn't remember to settle old grievances.Yinhu and the others fought in fear for a long time and didn't see their old enemy make a move. They always felt more panicked, and couldn't help but suspect that Emperor Yongzheng was holding back his big move and finding a suitable time to kill him.

In fact, Emperor Yongzheng was a man of action who loved and cherished talents, and he couldn't help but be happy when he saw capable talents, but his brothers put aside their past grievances and grievances, all of them are talents in charge of affairs, and they can be put anywhere Top half the sky.The third and fifth members of the Ministry of Rites are doing well, the seventh member of the Western Frontier is doing everything properly, and the eighth Ministry of Industry and the Lifan Academy are also well-managed, especially the things in the Lifan Academy. Ba, a man who knows the world, stands up, it's just perfect.Lao Jiu has always listened to Lao Ba's words, and Lao Ba has started to profess his vassal, so naturally he will be fine and jump around, the key is that there is Concubine Yi whispering in his ears all day long, so that he can feel at ease. A good subject, a good brother, don't provoke the new emperor's eyes with brain twitches, the old nine can only lay down his flags and concentrate on his own property, it seems that he is going to make up for the blood that was spent in support of the fourteen years ago return.Then the old ten was a soy sauce worker, and Emperor Yongzheng really couldn't spare any manpower for any unimportant matter, so he took the old ten out for a while.

Of course, Emperor Yongzheng was not stupid. In order to prevent the old Baji people from getting closer to the past forces, he arranged the positions in disorder. In one place, there are even those who have long-standing grievances between leaders and subordinates or colleagues, but they still cannot turn enemies into friends.Although there are shortcomings in this way, it may intensify the internal struggles everywhere, but if it can solve the crony relationship, this idea is acceptable. Moreover, Emperor Yongzheng used other methods to curb the intensification of internal conflicts, at least after a period of time Looks okay.

Thirteenth and Fourteenth need not be mentioned, one is the Minister of State and Political Affairs, in charge of the most important household department, and the prime minister is responsible for most important matters, and the other is in charge of the heavy military forces in the Northwest, and the stability of the border is in his hands hand.

So Emperor Yongzheng slowly realized that having more brothers is also good, especially the brothers are very good, and it is really flattering to use them well.Now that he has become a king, his structure and mind cannot be the same as before. He knows that people are good at responsibility, so he has to be able to endure things that ordinary people can't bear. Emperor Yongzheng wants to be a practical and wise king. Uncertain hidden dangers in the future, then Emperor Yongzheng is going to put aside the old grievances in the past, and stay in his job for a while for inspection. If he can really do things faithfully, then he will be more magnanimous and let the past go, hello, hello, hello, everyone.

Of course, this is also inseparable from Shisan’s persuasion. The fact that Shisan was imprisoned in beekeeping back then has always been a pain in Emperor Yongzheng’s heart. He has thought about how to settle with Lao Ba and others more than once, so he was also entangled for a time. , but Shisan was able to perceive the holy will in time, saying that he had long since ignored the events of the year, so that Emperor Yongzheng should not blame himself.In fact, Jiang Yingrong was protecting him, Shisan didn't suffer too much at that time, and he really didn't care about it because he was always free and easy.Only in this way did Emperor Yongzheng make up his mind to continue to appoint a few brothers, but just in case, Emperor Yongzheng privately began to select a large number of talents who are good at concealing and monitoring, and expanded the sticky poles he had set up when he was diving, so that he could always know where to go. Movement, a slight change can kill the danger in time.At the same time, except for the thirteenth and fourteenth brothers, the rest of the brothers implemented a rotation system, and even the officials of the various ministries began to rotate from time to time. In short, they couldn't stay in the same nest all the time, and tried to avoid several princes from re-cultivating their own power.

In the previous dynasty, with the efforts of Emperor Yongzheng and his capable brothers, the chaos in Kangxi's later years was changed. In time, the poverty of the people at the bottom has also been slightly alleviated, which is much better than the situation that Emperor Yongzheng and Prince Yi struggled to support in history.

The harem was not idle, especially Lin Yu. Apart from his Chengqian Palace, Jiang Yingrong's Compassionate Palace was the place where he stayed the most. Because Kangxi was very fond of Western culture when he was there, there were many books in the palace. Lin Yu used the excuse I started researching when I was interested, and I took Jiang Yingrong and even my son to learn English, geography, astronomy, and arithmetic.Lin Yu consciously and calmly led the Queen Mother. In fact, she didn't know that Jiang Yingrong was deliberately accompanying her. Under Lin Yu's instigation, Jiang Yingrong summoned Castiglione and other missionaries from time to time, and listened to them talk about the overseas world, regardless of customs, customs, geography, etc. Landforms, scenery, interesting stories.Gradually, everyone outside knew that the Empress Dowager likes to listen to stories the most, especially stories from overseas. Emperor Yongzheng naturally would not stop her idea of ​​liking the Empress Dowager, and even personally rewarded some missionaries who could make the Empress Dowager smile. Missionaries from all over the ocean gathered in the capital, trying their best to enter the palace and tell stories to the Queen Mother.

Most of those who were able to cross the ocean without fear of hardships and dangers had an ambition and some lofty ambitions. Naturally, they did not just come and see. Although the missionaries were accepted well during the Kangxi period, they did not give them many opportunities.When you know that there is a queen mother in the palace who likes overseas culture, especially now that she is a filial son, missionaries are not like cats smelling fish, rushing to the palace to meet you, maybe you will win the favor of the queen mother, You can find a place.

Over time, Emperor Yongzheng was inevitably affected and aroused some curiosity.At this time, the Qing Dynasty was still a mysterious, ancient, rich and desirable country in the eyes of overseas people. Exquisite porcelain, tea, and silk were all sought after by overseas nobles. Rare is more expensive, and an ordinary vase may be sold at sky-high prices.Listening to those missionaries' pursuit of the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Yongzheng couldn't help but become more active. The treasury issue is still a headache. Since no matter how hard the internal efforts are, it can only barely reach this level. Go out and earn some extra money from outside. In fact, not only foreigners like Qing things, but also many Qing dignitaries like foreigners. If you can form a team to go overseas, arrange a few reliable foreigners to follow, Then this round trip is a double transfer of money.

When one's heart is moved, one can't help wanting to act, especially Emperor Yongzheng, who is a practical man, but he thought for a long time and couldn't find a suitable candidate. In the end, Jiang Yingrong mentioned that the most suitable person is far away and close at hand. Only then did Emperor Yongzheng suddenly realize that he remembered Yinzhen who was not hanging around in front of him.Yinzhen has been fond of learning and reading since he was a child. He has a smart temper and loves to invent. He even designed the style of a chariot by himself. He loves foreign culture and Western learning very much. He taught himself foreign languages. He is quite close to the missionaries who came to China. The key is business acumen. the most suitable person.

So Yinzhen was summoned into the palace with a puzzled expression on his face. Before entering the palace, Concubine Yi held his ear and told him to be smart, and to say a few more nice words when he entered the palace, and see if he could ask for help. Errands, no matter how big or small, are better than him doing business.In the eyes of Concubine Yi, hanging out with merchants and merchants is considered low-class and not a serious matter. Seeing that Emperor Yongzheng treated his brothers with courtesy, Yinzhen was marginalized, and even the tenth old man Why not, of course Grand Concubine Yi can't see it, she still has her grandchildren to have a future, so she can't allow Yinzhen to be decadent.

Yinzhen left the palace with a dazed face, the Sea Services Administration, why was he fooled into agreeing to prepare for the Sea Services Administration?Concubine Yi found a job as soon as she heard that Yinzhen had entered the palace once. Although the Maritime Affairs Bureau did not know what it was for, it might be responsible for the preparations, but it was obvious that the preparations should be supervised by Yinzhen, and she hated Yinzhen for her daily life. He is incompetent and doesn't know how to make progress, while talking about entering the palace in two days to thank the queen mother, give her a few good words, and don't mess up the errand she got.

Yinzhen, who took over the errand, was only stupefied for a while. According to Emperor Yongzheng's idea, the Sea Affairs Administration was established for Yinzhen. It seems that they are going to try maritime trade.In short, Yinzhen likes everything, and she can't help but forget to sleep and eat when she is doing it, and puts her own business aside, and only concentrates on working on the Sea Services Department.After Concubine Yi saw it, she was finally relieved, she couldn't help but enter the palace more often.

After Yinzhen took the first fleet to sea and returned with a full load for a year and a half, Emperor Yongzheng paid more and more attention to the profits of maritime trade, and along with it came various types of books from overseas. This is what Jiang Yingrong casually mentioned, It was also treated as a serious business by Yinzhen, and almost half of the boat was loaded, no matter what kind of books, as long as you saw it, you bought a copy and brought it back.Whether it was intentional guidance or by accident, Emperor Yongzheng began to support maritime trade. He no longer strictly enforced the maritime ban policy in history and did not allow Chinese businessmen to trade overseas. This outstanding monarch finally began to focus on the world and encourage Diplomacy, to avoid becoming a laggard in the international trend.

The birth of the Sea Service Administration and the development of maritime trade allowed more and more foreigners to communicate with the Qing Dynasty. The maritime trade gradually developed and prospered. At the same time, the Qing Dynasty realized the importance of tariffs and ports. In the late Qing Dynasty, they failed to It played a vital role in avoiding wars. Those things that greatly damaged the interests of sovereignty, such as the customs sovereignty that was released casually, and the port use rights that were handed over, never happened again. Prosperous, more powerful, and due to the timely collision with overseas advanced ideas, even though the later Qing Dynasty became more and more decadent and decayed, there were ideas, technology and power that could keep up with the pace of the world, and those countries that launched wars did not After getting too many benefits, he almost came here in a hurry and left in disgrace.

The Qing Dynasty in this world has also evolved and developed in a more advanced direction in a relatively peaceful manner. Without the experience of semi-colonialism, this ancient oriental country that has lasted for thousands of years stands in a posture so powerful that it cannot be ignored. The forest of the nations of the world has become the focus of the world's attention, and the peace-loving big eastern country does not have the idea of ​​encroachment and plunder because of its own strength. World peace is our mission.

Jiang Yingrong lived until the moment of Emperor Yongzheng's death before leaving. She became a rare long-lived person in history. Wen Gongshushen's personality is more respected and admirable, and there are countless movies, novels, and records about her.There are many historical records that Empress Dehui and Empress Dowager Renshou are gentle in nature and deeply in love with Emperor Dieluan of Kangxi. All of them showed respect and admiration.Later historians found that in the Kangxi and Yongzheng dynasties, Queen Dehui was involved in all major events. Yes, people in later generations prefer to call her Queen Dehui. Almost no prince was punished for his crimes, and even the abolished prince was released in the late Yongzheng period, all because Empress Dehui mediated in many ways and acted as a lubricant.

Emperor Yongzheng did not have the so-called death from overwork. He reigned for [-] years and worked hard. With the support of several brothers, the Qing Dynasty regained its prosperity and prosperity. , The Daxing of the third generation is also a rare scene in history.

"Have you ever been satisfied?" Jiang Yingrong, who had returned, looked at Wu Yashi who was in a daze in front of her.

"It turns out that it is really due to the preference of the Ai family." Wu Yashi looked at the one in the water mirror who was sincerely respected and filial by Yinzhen, and was cherished by Kangxi in his heart. His reputation spread far and wide in later generations. The words of praise "myself", muttered to himself.Wu Yashi finally understood that because of her unreasonable preference, she hurt her own son, and also made her miss a good child, and even caused her brothers to fight against each other, hurting another son.

Wu Yashi only felt that the things that had been imprisoned on his body were loosened, and his whole body was lightened, showing a sincere smile: "Thank you for making Aijia's other self." Wu Yashi's body is full of obsession and unwillingness , when she fully understands, these obsessions will be completely dissipated.

"If you are a mother again, you will no longer have any preference."

Wu Yashi is looking forward to it, maybe she will have a chance to be a good mother in the reincarnation.

After sending Wu Yashi away, Jiang Yingrong made herself a cup of tea and enjoyed this rare time alone.

"738, let's go, go on vacation!"

"Okay, I specially prepared a surprise for you!" 738 was a little mysterious!

"I think it might be more frightening." Thinking of 738 who always deceived the host, Jiang Yingrong expressed her disbelief.

738 angrily wrapped Jiang Yingrong into the holiday world, it decided not to talk to Xiao Rong'er for at least a day, let Xiao Rong'er know the price of making it angry, hum!
