In the last answer, we mentioned how Zhang, a little person, achieved a turning point in his life through his wisdom and loyalty, and left after he became famous, saving his reputation and life.
There were several such little people in Yongzheng dynasty, but their fate was not as lucky as Zhang's, so how did they fall into a tragic fate?
Topic of this issue: Why did Yong Zhengdi choose Li Dequan instead of Gao Wu, the eunuch in Yongzheng period?
One,
When we read the Yongzheng dynasty, there will be a big question. Arguably, once every emperor was a courtier, after Yong Zhengdi acceded to the throne, he should vigorously support his own people, but why did he choose the old courtier left by Emperor Kangxi in the early stage? Isn't it strange that even the personal eunuch around him refused to change?
To explain this clearly, we must find out what kind of position eunuch is:
It can be said that eunuchs have a long history in China, not because of their special bodies, but because sometimes eunuchs can influence the fate of the country.
For example, the demise of China's first feudal dynasty, the Qin Dynasty, was inextricably linked with the great eunuch Zhao Gao. The idiom "refer to a deer as a horse" comes from this great eunuch. For example, the chaos of ten regular attendants in the Han Dynasty indirectly kicked off the struggle of the Three Kingdoms. For example, Wei Zhongxian, the great eunuch of the Ming Dynasty, was so powerful that he was called "Nine Thousand Years Old"!
There are also many incidents in history in which eunuchs killed emperors. In order to restrict eunuchs, the Qing dynasty issued strict orders prohibiting eunuchs from interfering in politics, such as the "iron ban" promulgated by Emperor Kangxi:
Therefore, the eunuchs in the Qing dynasty were still miserable, staying with the emperor all the year round. Whoever says something wrong and does something wrong will lose his head in the end. It is wise to be a eunuch in charge.
So, Li Dequan can be a eunuch manager, which also shows that this person is very unusual!
Second,
In the "Yongzheng Dynasty", in addition to the great eunuch Li Dequan, there was also a little eunuch. This is the eunuch in charge of Yong Zhengdi House. It stands to reason that the day of chaos in the world should come, but why did chaos in the world never appear in later dramas?
Did the director cut all the high-pitched plays?
The TV series Yongzheng Dynasty is a classic because it is a classic here. Many characters don't need to explain the aftermath. If they want to know what will happen to him, they need to use their brains.
Gao Wu's last appearance was after the death of Emperor Kangxi, when he knelt on the ground in white and never saw him again.
Some people say, is he still in Qin Yong Palace?
That's ridiculous. All the employees and owners of Qin Yong Wang Fu moved into the palace. The rest of the servants killed, walked away and entered the palace. Where is someone in the palace?
So did he misread the situation and choose to retire to his hometown?
For this reason, he is not old enough to return to China. With Yong Zhengdi's suspicious mind, naturally, a eunuch who knows too many secrets will not return to China. You know, even Wu Sidao, who has the greatest kindness to him, has never trusted him. He tried to kill Wu Sidao. As a result, Wu Sidao proposed the road of semi-seclusion and barely saved his life.
These two possibilities have been ruled out, and chaos has never appeared in the palace, so the biggest possibility is that chaos was killed!
In fact, his death is also very understandable, but any eunuch who participates in dark things will not have a good end. After Yong Zhengdi ascended the throne, it was the embodiment of aboveboard. How can you use a eunuch who knows too many secrets? And with him, who can guarantee that he will not participate in the next battle for official positions?
The play is not without reminders. For example, when Gao needs to kill Kaner, he should think that he will one day. For example, when Wu Sidao left, he told the old thirteen Huang Tianjun that if he paid attention to the servants who were close to the palace, he would not live.
Third,
Gao doesn't need to know too many secrets, and he doesn't need to know, but why did you choose Li Dequan, the great eunuch of Emperor Kangxi?
This is the way Li Dequan exists:
As a personal eunuch around Emperor Kangxi, Li Dequan knew too many secrets of Emperor Kangxi and the weight of his words. As the saying goes, "seven officials in front of the prime minister", let alone the emperor?
Yong Zhengdi had seen Li Dequan before he ascended the throne. You know, Emperor Kangxi chose Chu Jun a long time ago. As a big eunuch, Li Dequan always heard something or saw something more or less, but he kept his mouth shut and no one revealed it.
If he even revealed a little, there would be no later old Bayi gang questioning the authenticity of the imperial edict, and there would be no old four Yin Zhen complaining that Kangxi was crazy for not handling the "Dead Eagle" incident properly.
Even when Prince Yin Yong was popular, he was impartial and no one was offended.
For example, once an old man deliberately introduced several officials to see Emperor Kangxi. Li Dequan advised them not to go, and told them that the uncle was on duty and they could see him first. Then the official gave him a silver ticket.
Later, when Emperor Kangxi met the expatriate officials, he found that these officials were full of nonsense and didn't look like serious officials at all. Ask the big brother around you again. It turned out that these officials were all selected by Prince Yin Ren, and they had never met each other, which made Emperor Kangxi very angry.
Then Prince Yin Ren got the news and hurried to Emperor Kangxi. As a result, after seeing Li Dequan, I immediately stopped to call him "Li Gonggong" and asked him if he had heard anything.
Li Dequan is extremely clever and says:
This Li Dequan is talking nonsense, when he was in the temple just now! But I also understand why he said uncle was on duty just now. If Li Dequan leads these officials to see Emperor Kangxi, will Prince Yin Ren punish him?
When he said this, he suddenly stayed out of it and transferred the contradiction to the prince and eldest brother.
Fourth,
In fact, there are too many similar things, so I won't give examples here. For example, Yin Zhen, the old four, and Huang Hong, the old thirteen, came back to see Emperor Kangxi after the disaster relief, and Li Dequan took them aside to talk, which was a kind reminder. For example, Yong Zhengdi's son, Hong, always stuffed some silver tickets when he saw Li Gonggong, so when he was in a bad mood, Li Dequan would also remind Hong:
In short, Li Dequan multilateral don't offend, can help, by the way, get some benefits, as to want to get something from his mouth, difficult!
Since Li Dequan took bribes, why didn't the prince or the minister mention it?
Yes! There was one and it turned out to be a disaster. ...
This man is Yong Zhengdi's third son, Hiroshi. He thinks he is very clever:
After Yong Zhengdi fell ill, several princes came to visit him. Redstone came early, and Li Gonggong told him to wait on his knees. As a result, this guy exposed the way people make money and asked Li Gonggong directly:
Li Gonggong is silly, how can there be such a foolish prince?
If you are smart, stop talking. Li Dequan is playing dumb on purpose. Redstone honest you kneel, you have to expose their shortcomings:
Well, Li Dequan lost his temper, just when Li Honglai came in May, Li Dequan went to ask for leave, and the leave was very clear. He only mentioned that Mei Li Honglai visited Yong Zhengdi, and then Li Hong went in.
As for Redstone, just kneel down honestly!
So, Li Dequan, such a capable person, doesn't need him. Who should he use?
There is no such person as Li Dequan in history. Li Dequan was able to serve the emperors in Yongzheng Dynasty because of his accurate understanding of the temperature of his words and deeds.
Give two examples-
The prince sold six officials, the old ten angered Kangxi, and the old eight deliberately let the boss introduce him. At this time, Li Dequan is standing in the room, as shown above.
The prince asked him later, and he said that he was not in the house, only his eldest brother was there, so he pushed himself clean and put his eldest brother directly on the kang.
Move out the boss to divert fire, so that the prince will not doubt himself. What to say, what not to say, Li Dequan too understand.
Li Dequan cleverly answered Redstone's sarcasm.
When Redstone went to visit Yongzheng, Li Dequan told him to "wait on his knees" as instructed by Yongzheng. In just two sentences, Redstone made a lot of mockery of Li Dequan: "You can knock hollow bricks with money, but you can knock solid bricks without money".
The prime minister has mastered the seven officials, not to mention the emperor's personal eunuch. At this point, we can see that Hongshi is impetuous and disdainful of "Li Dequan" in his eyes, far less than his younger brother Hongzhou.
Secular newspaper will come soon, and Li Dequan will play later. On the surface, you are a prince, so it is natural to flatter yourself. As for whether Li Dequan told Yongzheng that "Hong went to inquire after him first", I'm afraid only Li Dequan knew it. As for Redstone, you'd better wait on your knees.
On the other hand, Li Dequan's attitude towards Hongzhou is to take the initiative to explain to him "Yongzheng's mood" and tell him to be careful. Hongzhou gave Li Dequan money before he went in. If it is really "impossible", please take care of him.
However, this is all fiction. Once every emperor was a courtier, and few eunuchs served two generations of kings.
Yongzheng dynasty, Kangxi died, Yongzheng succeeded to the throne, but Yongzheng's personal eunuch was still Li Dequan, who served as the emperor's personal eunuch when his father Kangxi was in power. I think the reasons are as follows.
First, Li Dequan is a good eunuch. Li Dequan's plays run through the whole Yongzheng dynasty. From the 46th year of Kangxi, he served two emperors until the 13th year of Yongzheng, which lasted nearly 30 years, showing the emperor's trust and love for Li Dequan. On the one hand, Li Dequan can look forward to being by the emperor's side for a long time, which shows that he has excellent professional ability and can shoulder the responsibility of serving the emperor well. On the other hand, it also shows that Li Dequan can talk and love. Not only does the emperor like to trust, but also the relationship between the harem, the prince and the ministers can be handled well, which can be seen from the total zero zero in the play. In addition, his personality is not bad, and he is not greedy or dirty, so he can be active around the emperor for a long time.
Second, Li Dequan can clearly see his position. In the play, Li Dequan abides by the rules and is neutral. Meiyin enters the palace late at night and does not wake Kangxi to please Yin Yin. Third brother Hongshi came to visit Yongzheng. Li Dequan didn't go against the will of Yongzheng and directly let Hongshi step down, but Li Honglai came and let Li Honglai in. All this shows that Li Dequan is very clear about his identity and role, that is, he wants to be loyal to the emperor alone. For others, he should treat and deal with them according to the emperor's requirements and ideas, which made Li Dequan always recognized by the emperor.
The third and most important point is Yongzheng's Huairou policy. Although before Yongzheng, he led the position of minister in charge of the guards, his duties were limited to the defense of the palace and only managed the guards. He does not participate in the management of eunuchs. After Yongzheng ascended the throne, he did not promote his courtiers to the palace, but continued to use the imperial court team in Kangxi period, which was of great significance. On the one hand, this is for the ministers of the Qing Dynasty and officials all over the world, telling them that even the eunuchs of the first emperor can be directly copied and appointed, let alone ministers. This is to let the officials in the world rest assured and do things with peace of mind, and there is no other idea; Secondly, you can safely use the imperial secretary of the first emperor, which also shows the legitimacy and legitimacy of your position. You can continue to use the first emperor in this way, and you must pass this message on.
So Yongzheng continued to use Li Dequan.
It's not just Li Dequan. Yongzheng basically retained most of Kangxi's cast. The study is still Longkeduo appointed by Zhang, March and Kangxi before his death. May Quinn was once again entrusted with a heavy responsibility. The officials of various ministries are basically the original team, and even the Guards are still Turichen, Zhang and others, which is also for the stable transition of imperial power.
At this time, some people will ask, where does Gao have to go? Was he killed by Yongzheng because he knew too many secrets? I believe most of my friends agree with this view.
On the other hand, my view is just the opposite. Needless to say, Gao is not dead yet. Yongzheng Dynasty itself has been called a TV series aimed at rehabilitating Yongzheng. Since it was a "transition to rehabilitation", Yongzheng would not be accused of killing people at will. Looking back at Nian Gengyao and Roncodo, no matter how much he hates these heroes, he will not be put to death at once, which shows that Gao needless has not been killed.
It's so high, you don't have to go anywhere. Don't forget, after Yongzheng succeeded to the throne, Yongzheng's hidden house, that is, Qin Yongwang Mi, became Yongzheng's palace, which must always be guarded and managed. As an old housekeeper, as the most familiar manager of the whole palace, brick by brick, and all the servants and maids, it is very suitable for personnel arrangement to continue to manage the emperor's palace and former residence. Needless to say, it is also a great honor for Gao.
(Li Dequan in Yongzheng period)
According to the truth, Yong's big housekeeper and eunuch should go to heaven with Yongzheng. However, it didn't, not only didn't, but it didn't even appear again. This is actually a TV series set up to portray the legitimacy and reasonable role arrangement of Yongzheng.
Although every emperor once had a courtier, Yongzheng was so awesome that he used not only the old courtier of the previous dynasty, but also Kangxi, a slave eunuch.
But the real historical scene is not the case.
First of all, although this Li Dequan has appeared in many TV dramas, such as the Kangxi Dynasty, the Yongzheng Dynasty, and the palace heart is locked in jade, walking on thin ice and eating as a slave, it does not exist in history, but it is just a fictional character;
(Emperor Yongzheng used Gao Wu)
Secondly, Kangxi had two eunuchs in his later years, one was Liang Jiugong and the other was Wei Zhu. However, Liang Jiugong died in front of Kangxi, and it was absolutely unwise for his successor Wei Zhu to be the "Li Dequan". In fact, he is also a man who has made contributions to Yongzheng, but he is too greedy to reward him before he finishes his work. "But I will be satisfied with a city." Later, I went to an island on the big water pool, called "Beihai and Round Castle", and worked as a "manager".
(Su Peisheng is in the Empress Palace)
Third, in fact, the great eunuch that Yongzheng Dynasty was really proud of was Su Peisheng, the great eunuch among the concubines in the palace. And this Su Peisheng just came out of Yong Wang Fu, which is a lofty historical prototype in theory. Su Peisheng was deeply loved by Yongzheng. Besides, Su Peisheng is a child prodigy. He was arrogant and rude to Li Hong and other princes in front of Yongzheng, and was reprimanded by Yongzheng. But then Yongzheng trusted him more.
Li Dequan, a child prodigy, also had many performances in Yongzheng dynasty. For example, Yin Rang asked him about the sale of titles by the Prince. Li Dequan was clearly present, but he said that the slave was not there, only the emperor and uncle were inside. This kind of distance is much more sincere than Tulichen's playing dumb and fully distracted.
I will not analyze it here. At least, who is not a child prodigy left by Kangxi? Who can have the last laugh without a child prodigy?
Text/fried rice perspective
This question is very interesting.
In Yongzheng Dynasty, Li Dequan seemed to be a small role, but it ran through the whole drama. From serving Kangxi to Yongzheng, it was certainly not easy to gain the trust and appreciation of the two emperors. Yongzheng didn't kill Li Dequan for several reasons.
1. Yongzheng is the embodiment of morality.
This is very important. In the whole play, Yongzheng is conscientious and dedicated to the people, and has waged an arduous reform struggle with the Eight Ye Party, which represents the resistance to reform. This is an active role. Yongzheng, though sometimes ruthless, would never do such a thing as killing people for no reason. So although Li Dequan was left behind by Kangxi, Yongzheng wouldn't kill him.
2. Li Dequan didn't take part in the battle for the crown prince.
This is also very important. Tong Guowei in the play said that today's princes are not fuel-efficient lamps. As a capable eunuch who can follow the emperor for many years, he sees it in his eyes and knows it in his heart. I believe that the Eight Ye Party definitely wanted to win over Li Dequan before, but obviously, Li Dequan chose to rely on the emperor instead of others. Because this situation is easy to stand in the wrong team, it is likely to lead to late liquidation. Li Dequan was clearly sober and never got involved in the whirlpool of power. At this time, he can save the root.
3. Li Dequan is very capable.
Because of his excellent work, Li Dequan confided in the emperor from time to time and was appreciated by Kangxi and Yongzheng. Usually, the emperor is taken good care of. For example, Li Dequan would earnestly persuade Kangxi to turn over the brand in a row, and when Yongzheng lost his temper, Li Dequan could do things thunderously. Plus Li Dequan is conscientious and prudent at ordinary times. This is why Li Dequan is favored.
At this time, eunuchs can no longer threaten the imperial power.
As the Qing Dynasty was the peak of feudal autocratic imperial power, all rights were concentrated on the emperor. At this time, the status of eunuchs is already very low. Different from previous dynasties, the emperor wanted to control the ministers through eunuchs and fight for power and profit. Eventually, the eunuch's tail was too big to fail, but it threatened the imperial power. At this time, the eunuch actually had little power and would not threaten the imperial power, so even the eunuch left by Kangxi, Yongzheng did not have to be afraid of his threat.
5. Li Dequan is a good man.
Judging from the whole play, Li Dequan is a good man. The most typical example is that when the little eunuch received money from the moon, he was called heartless by Li Dequan. It shows that Li Dequan is very sympathetic and Li Dequan is very popular in the play. There were never any black spots, but he was anxious to see who was suffering. So this image is relatively easy to die well.
For various reasons, Li Dequan had no reason to let Yongzheng kill him, but gave him a big favor.
The fourth son, Yin Zhen, succeeded to the throne and became yongzheng emperor. In addition to Yongzheng, the happiest nature is the domestic slave of Yongzheng's former residence. As the general manager of Yongzheng's former residence, Gao should naturally become the general manager of the palace. However, we later saw that Li Dequan, as the general manager of Ouchi in Kangxi period, continued to be his general manager of Ouchi in Yongzheng period. Gao, who played for Yongzheng, never appeared again, and the ending can be imagined.
After Yongzheng came to power, why did he continue to use Kangxi's people instead of his own confidant?
Let's start with the climax. Because everyone has secrets and shady stories, so does Yongzheng. And all the secrets of Yongzheng, Gao is very clear, even Gao has to handle it. After Yongzheng came to power, all these potential hidden dangers were naturally ruled out, and his loyalty to Yongzheng was naturally within the scope.
Surprisingly, Yongzheng continued to use Li Dequan as the manager of Ouchi. After all, every emperor used to be a courtier. After the new king ascended the throne, it was completely reasonable to use our own people in key positions. Besides, Yongzheng is a suspicious Lord.
In fact, Yongzheng still retained Li Dequan for the following reasons:
First, Li Dequan has excellent professional ability.
Many people envy working beside the emperor, but they don't know that even a mistake may cause great anger. A board is indispensable. Kangxi, as an emperor through the ages, had a bright eye and could not hide anything from him. But Li Dequan, who has served Kangxi for more than ten years, will Kangxi let him stay so long if his own ability is insufficient? Definitely not. Also because of this, Yongzheng retained Li Dequan.
Second, Li Dequan and Yongzheng have a good relationship.
In the late Kangxi period, Yongzheng was the minister in charge of the guards, and Li Dequan was the general manager of Ouchi, so it was inevitable that there was an intersection in his work. After a long time, Li Dequan and Yongzheng must appreciate each other. However, based on the suspicion of cronyism, it is estimated that the two will not be too obvious, and the province will arouse the suspicion of Kangxi. After Yongzheng came to power, Li Dequan was naturally retained.
Third, Li Dequan has high EQ and IQ.
This can be seen from the fact that the officials selected by the prince were taken to see Kangxi by their superiors. When the Prince asks about Li Dequan again, Li Dequan can throw all the questions on his eldest brother. He doesn't know anything without Kangxi. They are also incompatible.
Fourthly, Yongzheng's Huairou policy.
Yongzheng continued to use all the officials in the Kangxi period, including Li Dequan, Tu Lichen, Zhang and other important figures, to show their attitude to those fearful officials in order to stabilize the situation.
During Yongzheng, I didn't even change the staff in ouchi. Will I change you? Although you used to support Lao Ba, I will let bygones be bygones as long as you are my servant from now on.
I can't remember the plot clearly. Maybe this person is set to be loyal and capable? Or pay the director. (joking)
