"But because of his seriousness, it seems that he will be repaid, and Emperor Yongzheng also has the shortcomings of being stubborn and self-serving, so it is inevitable to leave a brutal adverse impact on the handling of court politics."

"In addition, he is impatient, eager for quick success, and in a hurry to achieve results, but he will do bad things with good intentions, leaving an impression of moodiness."

"In general, Emperor Yongzheng reigned for thirteen years, and his merits outweighed his faults."

"His diligence is one of the top among all the emperors of the Qing Dynasty, and he is frugal and not lustful, and he is also the top among all the emperors of the Qing Dynasty."

When Emperor Yongzheng succeeded to the throne, Emperor Kangxi left him a mess of "gold and jade", and the national treasury was less than seven million taels. ”

"By the time he passed the throne to Qianlong, the state treasury had 50 million taels of silver."

"Yongzheng Dynasty is a well-deserved successor in the prosperous era of Kangqian."

"The emperor behind Yongzheng is Qianlong, the fourth son of Yongzheng, and Emperor Kangxi likes his grandson very much."

"After Yongzheng's death, Qianlong succeeded to the throne naturally, but Qianlong was not Yongzheng's son-in-law, the most important reason was because Qianlong himself was very good."

"When Qianlong's grandfather Kangxi was still there, he went to Prince Yong's mansion once and saw the young Qianlong, Kangxi liked Qianlong very much, and liked to take Qianlong to his side, Qianlong enjoyed the treatment that other emperors and grandsons did not have, Qianlong accompanied the old emperor Kangxi to spend the happiest time in his later years, and this memory was often mentioned in Qianlong's later years."

"After the death of Emperor Yongzheng, Hongli became Emperor Qianlong."

"The new dynasty adopted the way of governing the world with leniency and severity, practicing benevolent government for the people, being tolerant and open-minded to officials, and correcting some malpractices in the Yongzheng Dynasty, which can be said to be very different from his father's management methods, and very similar to his grandfather Kangxi's way of governing the country."

"When Qianlong ascended the throne, the Manchu regime had been established for nearly a hundred years, and under the rule of the previous emperors, all aspects had been controlled and developed rapidly."

"Therefore, Qianlong's succession is basically in the prosperous and peaceful years, relatively speaking, all aspects are much smoother and more stable."

"However, Qianlong himself still had ambitions and ambitions in the early political period!"

"But the best evaluation of the same Qianlong is that he is capable and ambitious, because he is also an emperor who is very happy, who gradually becomes arrogant and lascivious in the later part of his reign, and who no longer strives for prosperity because of his longevity, old age and complacency."

"It has similarities with our Tang Xuanzong."

"Our Qianlong Emperor is still narcissistic, just like his self-styled title of "Ten Perfect Old Man", and he is the one who writes the most poems, but unfortunately few are famous. ”

This "Shiquan Old Man" is also called "Shiquan Wugong", which refers to the two battles to pacify Dzungaria, the rebellion of Daxiao and Zhuo, the two battles of Jinchuan, the suppression of Taiwan's Lin Shuangwen uprising, the battle of Burma, the battle of Annam and the two battles against the Gurkha, because this is self-proclaimed. ”

"The poet has shown him a very interesting identity."

"He wrote more than 40,000 poems in his lifetime, and there are more than 2,200 authors of "All Tang Poems", a total of more than 48,000 poems."

"He lived for 89 years, which is more than 32,000 days, excluding his childhood, he can write poems for less than 30,000 days, and he writes more than one poem a day on average."

"But it's a pity that although Qianlong is well-read, he likes to show off his knowledge, and he even doesn't hesitate to make words for the sake of rhyme, making his poems difficult to understand, and he is very embarrassed."

"It's also possible that he wrote so many poems, but none of them have survived."

It is said that Emperor Qianlong always wrote a poem whenever he was in a good mood, saying that he was a generation of wonderful "poetry demons" in history, which is not surprising. ”

"Qianlong's filial piety and single-mindedness are more or less the reason for writing poetry."

"Qianlong has deep feelings for his mother, which comes from nature, so he respects him and is unswerving."

"He usually greets people for 3 days and eats for 5 days, and he cares about his mother's daily life."

"Within a year after the death of the Empress Dowager, his poetry interest in writing almost every day has greatly decreased, and his works are few."

"Writing poetry is his favorite."

"And then he is for his other half, he married the famous Fucha family at the age of 17, the two have an excellent relationship, and the couple is deeply affectionate, which can be described as raising eyebrows and loving each other."

"After the death of the empress in the thirteenth year of Qianlong, he was grief-stricken, remembered for the rest of his life, and wrote hundreds of poems of mourning, whose words were sincere and moving, and were the most sincere and excellent works of all his poems."

Li Bai: That's still a bit level.

Du Fu: 40,000 songs, this number should not be underestimated.

Liu Bang: There are so many, and the level is not high!

Cheng Yanjin: This is someone's hobby, which is good.

"As long as an emperor does well in politics, other things are relatively not so important."

"During the Qianlong period, the Hui aristocratic leaders were pacified, the big and small Zhuo were pacified, the Ili generals were set up, and the management of the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains was strengthened, collectively known as XJ."

"In order to prevent the local aristocracy from manipulating the selection of reincarnated spirit children, the Qianlong Emperor established a system of casting lots in a golden vase, which was written on an ivory pick by the minister stationed in Tibet and submitted to the imperial court for approval."

He implemented the ruling policy of "blending leniency with severity", rectified the rule of officials, recruited talents, and maintained the stability of the ruling class. ”

"At the same time, the economy has rewarded land reclamation, developed water conservancy and irrigation, greatly increased the population, exempted the whole country from money and grain, and prospered the economy."

"It also expanded its territory, pacified Dzungaria twice, conquered Jinchuan in southwest China twice, and went to Burma once, consolidating the unity of a multi-ethnic country."

In Sichuan and other places, he continued to implement land reform and return to the stream, and these measures maintained the "prosperous Kangqian era" in his own feudal dynasty. ”

"The Dzungar Khanate was destroyed at his hands, and of course the ten complete martial arts were mixed with water, but it is also a fact that the northwest and southwest were pacified and even the expedition to Nepal, and it is also a fact that Qianlong made great efforts in the early and middle periods."

"In addition, he also carried out large-scale revisions to the country's feudal culture, organized the compilation of books such as "Siku Quanshu" and "Daqing Huidian", and re-engraved the "Thirteen Classics", which became the culmination of the country's ancient book culture.

"There are pros and cons to this kind of collection, not only in the compilation of books, but also in ideology and book circulation, he has greatly promoted literary prisons, and many unjust cases have appeared, imprisoning and destroying ideology and culture."

"This is also one of the makers of the literary prison, the secret of the literary network during the Qianlong period, the number of literary disasters, is the pinnacle of the literary prison in history, the literary prison created by far-fetched, looking at the text and righteousness, chasing the wind and catching the shadow, such as a wild horse that cannot be controlled."

"During the Qianlong period, there were more than 130 cases."

"Forty-seven of the cases were sentenced to death, which means that the living are killed, the dead are killed, and the male relatives over the age of 15 are beheaded."
