Little Emperor, Little Emperor.

Guan Zhuofan had the idea of taking the little emperor as the "yellow bird" very early, but plans such as "Operation Yellow Sparrow" were just one of his many options for treating the little emperor, and they were not ranked high. It is a long process to gradually move forward in the ranking of this option, and finally become the first and only option and put it into practice.

At the beginning, Guan Zhuofan's basic policy towards the little emperor was "observe, understand, influence, and control".

He wants to see if this little emperor and the early collapse of Emperor Muzong in the historical materials can be on the right name, and is there any possibility of change?

Of course, it is a change in accordance with Guan Zhuofan's ideas and in line with Guan Zhuofan's interests.

For this reason, he recommended himself, entered the Zhihongde Palace, and became the master of the little emperor's "foreign affairs and military affairs".

However, the more direct and important purpose of entering the Zhihongde Hall is not to "observe, understand, influence, and control" the little emperor, but the following two:

First, take out an extra layer of insurance for yourself.

The Qing Dynasty attached great importance to the education of the prince and the prince, about the crown of all Chinese dynasties, therefore, in the politics of the Qing Dynasty, the status of the emperor, transcendent and noble, in a sense, the qualifications of the emperor, is a kind of "Danshu iron coupon", "gold medal for avoiding death", this point, to the middle and late Qing Dynasty, the performance is particularly obvious.

At the time of the coup d'état in Qixiang, Du Han, one of the eight ministers of Gu Ming, was the mastermind of the Sushun group, and most of the plans to suppress the two palaces and King Gong were from his hands, Cixi and King Gong, the second bone of the title. Originally, in addition to Su Shun, they were the second to want to kill and then fast. It's Duhan. But. Because Du Han's father was Wenzong's master Du Shoutian. Not only is it not easy to kill him, but it is also difficult to give him an excessively heavy punishment, and the judicial department "discussed the dismissal of Xinjiang", but "Zhao Yuanzhi, relinquish his post, and exempt him from being dispatched."

In other words, when I came out of the detention center, I went straight home, and I didn't sit in a serious prison for a day.

Du Han himself was not an emperor. It's just the son of the emperor, so he took a big advantage, King Gong and Cixi, would rather kill Zaiyuan and Duanhua, the two iron hat kings, than move him.

If I am the emperor, the treatment will be better.

Weng Tongyi is the core figure of Guangxu's New Deal, and the backstage of Kang, Liang and others. The Wuxu reform, the intensification of the contradictions between the old and the new, and the desire of the reformers to take risks is not conducive to Cixi. Yuan Shikai took the lead, and Cixi staged a coup d'état. Restore the discipline and government, imprison Dezong, and kill the six gentlemen, but Master Weng's punishment is just "dismissal, never used", and in the first year of Xuantong five years after his death, the edict was reinstated and Wengong was posthumously reinstated.

The ups and downs of the sea of Huan, no one can guarantee that they will always be invincible, not to mention what Guan Zhuofan does, whether it is reform or power struggle, he will encounter extremely fierce resistance, and sometimes even pointed out by thousands of people, it is really necessary to take an extra insurance for himself.

The contradictions between Du Han, Weng Tongyi and their political opponents are close to the level of life and death, but after they fell off the horse, they all got the leader because of the factor of the emperor, and the emperor was Guan Zhuofan's insurance for himself.

This is one of them.

Second, take the opportunity of increasing the little emperor's "military affairs and foreign affairs" to suppress the old forces and accelerate the promotion of the new policy.

If even the emperor learns "foreign affairs", in the future, who else cannot and should not learn "foreign affairs"?

This is the best "benchmark", and if this hurdle can be passed, after that, the "New Deal" can make great strides forward.

The opposition of the old school came as scheduled, and the establishment of a "Tongwen Museum" was also noisy, and the emperor learned "foreign affairs", which was really like a funeral!

However, Guan Zhuofan arranged it properly, took the first step, and sealed the mouth of the leader of the old school, Wu Ren, the snake has no head, the old school messed up the rules, and waited for King Zhong to announce the decree, split his head and cover his face, and the first to fold up and oppose the right concubine of Zhan Shifu, Sun Dongmou, after a "cone of the heart", the arrogance of the old school was greatly reduced, and he had to stop, and Guan Zhuofan passed the first hurdle of the dispute between the old and the new without any danger.

Third, it is the turn of the little emperor to "observe, understand, influence, and control".

The first is "observe and understand": take a look, is this little emperor really the same thing as Mu Zong in history? If so, is there any possibility of changing him? Is it worth the effort? If the answer is no, you must be sure: is it possible for you to "influence and control" him?

"Emperor Muzong who collapsed early in the original time and space", what kind of emperor is it?

Let's take a look at Muzon's predecessors and successors first.

It has been said that the average level of emperors in all Chinese dynasties was the highest in the Qing Dynasty. This is a statement that is destined to cause controversy, but if only in the dimension of feudal society, Guan Zhuofan agrees with this statement.

Before Qianlong, the country was strong, and there was little controversy about the emperor's level, so I won't talk about him; After Qianlong, the country's situation was replaced, and there were internal and external troubles, but the emperor's level was still commendable.

The gate of China was lost at the hands of Xuanzong. This is not his real responsibility - with the gap between the times at that time, which emperor he replaced must not be able to keep it. The real historical responsibility of Xuanzong lies in the fact that after the defeat, in the face of the tide of the times, he did not make any effective reflection and changes, and wasted a whole decade of precious time in vain.

However, "in terms of the dimension of feudal society", in terms of moral standards, whether he is a man or an emperor, Xuanzong is almost perfect: the maid is filial piety - not yet the biological mother; Self-dedication to inspection - to the point of perversion; Respect the teacher - even kicked his eldest son to death for this.

If you rank a "Chinese Emperor Moral List", among the hundreds of emperors in all dynasties, Xuanzong must be among the best.

In addition, although Xuanzong was conservative, he was by no means a mediocre and inactive emperor, otherwise, there would have been no ban on smoking - under the circumstances at that time, the ban on smoking was actually a major self-renewal and redemption effort of the empire, and if it were not for the United Kingdom, which was hardly the same opponent as China at that time, it might not have succeeded.

The emperor of the late Qing Dynasty, Wenzong was probably the most criticized one. The emperor, who was put on one green hat after another by Guan Zhuofan, has a temperament that is just reversed compared to his father: he likes sound and sex, and loves to enjoy. However, in all fairness, Wenzong's money spent on this was actually very limited, and in fact, he resolutely supported Sushun's policy of austerity and redundancy, so that there were many complaints from the Eight Banners, both inside and outside the government and the opposition, and also planted the disaster of killing Sushun in the future. However, if this is not the case, where will the military expenditure be used to quell the chaos in Hong Yang?

Pacifying Hong Yang and reaping the credit in the hands of Cixi and King Gong, however, the foundation was brought down by Wenzong and Su Shun, whether it was the reduction of money and grain in the Eight Banners, or the reuse of Han members such as Zeng Guofan, Cixi and King Gong continued the policy of Su Shun who was killed by them, so to speak, Su Shun sang a black face for them in front and became an ugly person.

Wenzong and Xuanzong are just as conservative in their treatment of the outside world, but they cannot be turned blind to their efforts and achievements.

Dezong's ability is limited, but in any case, Xiao learned that he was brave and courageous, worked hard, and the general direction of reform was basically right, but the means were too simple and rude, the steps were too big, and he was pulling the egg.

When Pu Yi abdicated, he was still a child and was not discussed.

What about Muzon?

Let's put it this way, fortunately, he hung up early after a year of pro-government, otherwise, it would have greatly lowered the average score of the Qing Dynasty emperors, and the statement that "the average level of emperors in all dynasties in China is the highest in the Qing Dynasty" can still be established, but it has to be said.

Among the emperors of the Qing Dynasty, Mu Zong was a real "outlier".

In Chinese history, faint monarchs and tyrants are also faint monarchs and tyrants, and the faint monarchs and tyrants of the great unified dynasty are very different from the faint monarchs and tyrants of the troubled times such as the Five Hu Chaohua and the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.

The emperor received a good and strict education from an early age, no matter what his nature was, no matter how strange the emperor became in the future, no matter how strange the emperor and tyrant became, when they first ascended the throne, whether sincere or false, they would show the excellent qualities that a good emperor should have, such as being humble and accepting advice, being diligent and thrifty, and making great efforts.

For example, Song Huizong and Mingshenzong, when they first succeeded to the throne, they were completely the image of a good young man.

Only Muzong, as soon as he ascended the throne, he couldn't wait to show his faintness and violence.
