After the death of Emperor Kangxi, Longkeduo took out the scribbled testamentary edict from behind the "fair and square" plaque and announced on the spot that Emperor Kangxi had passed the throne to May. Many historians believe that Kangxi's original intention was to preach fourteen elder brothers. No matter from the arrangement of affairs or from the preference of Emperor Kangxi, the people who inherit the throne all point to the fourteenth elder brother. On the other hand, the person who announced the testamentary edict happened to be the darling of the May 4th Movement. Moreover, the font of the imperial edict is scrawled, and the testamentary edict of the Qing Dynasty was prepared many years ago. Emperor Kangxi was also famously rigorous, and he would never scribble on the imperial edict. Therefore, the argument that the source of Yongzheng's throne is incorrect is of great discussion value.
Second, daily-practice.
Yongzheng was still young when he succeeded to the throne, but he did not "let himself go" after he succeeded to the throne. According to the draft of Qing history, Yongzheng worked for more than ten hours every day and slept for four hours on average. He spends most of his time reviewing the paper every day. During the Yongzheng period, the trial memorial was190,000. During the Yongzheng period, there was never any entertainment. This practice made Yongzheng one of the most diligent emperors in history of qing dynasty.
Xiao Ting's Miscellaneous Notes: "The first emperor was in office for thirteen years, and he was worried about work day and night, with no literature and no joy. I tasted the opinions of the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and consulted the old files. During the Yongzheng period, only four shrines of wind, cloud, thunder and rain were specially built to prepare for praying for rain. At the beginning, there were no special buildings for tourists to leave the palace. Therefore, at that time, the state treasury was abundant, the people were rich and had a good life.
Third, personality-brave and decisive.
Yongzheng appeared very bright when he acceded to the throne. In fact, it took over the mess left by Kangxi. Emperor Kangxi was overjoyed, but under the scenery, the state treasury seems to have been in deficit. After Yongzheng succeeded to the throne, he carried out drastic reforms and established a perfect system not only in economy but also in attracting talents. After the Yongzheng reform, the national treasury of the Qing Dynasty increased sevenfold, which laid a solid foundation for the emergence of the prosperous period of Kanggan. In addition to decisive reform, he did not flinch from the threat of the Eight Heavenly Kings and fought for his rights with his fists.
Records of the History of Qing Dynasty recorded that Sejong was a well-run country, with responsibility for fame and honor, punishment for honor and disgrace, and made contributions to the country, and was known as the emperor who ruled the country with literary scenes.
Fourth, be a man-distinguish between public and private.
People in the emperor's high position, it is easy to act arbitrarily. Most of the bad kings in history were also carried away by power. Yongzheng, though young, is a man with a clear distinction between public and private. Never be soft-hearted in the face of mistakes, and never hesitate to reward those who make meritorious deeds.
"History of China": "In the 13th year of Yongzheng, being strict, blaming its name, managing its reasons and clearing its wealth greatly corrected the drawbacks of being lenient since Kangxi. Yongzheng used to be an honest official, and all his officials were law-abiding. The prosperity of bureaucracy is the highest in the Qing Dynasty, which has only been seen in previous dynasties. "
Yongzheng's life is positive, but his life is full of sadness. Yongzheng was lucky, and after careful consideration, he finally acceded to the throne as he wished. Yongzheng is sad. Too many ups and downs make him ambitious but unable to make great achievements.
