Chapter 91 The Ridiculous Old Man

Qianlong called himself a perfect old man.And compiled the complete book himself.And his so-called Shiquan is: Ping Zhungeer is two, Dinghui is one, sweeping Jinchuan is two, Jingtai is one, surrendered to Burma, Annan is one each, and Gorkha was surrendered twice, making ten together.

There have been many self-righteous emperors in history, who were born with a good sense of self in their bones.In this way, at the end of the emperor, most of them are the defeated generation.

And Qianlong's self-proclaimed perfect old man is a kind of self-promotion, but what is the truth?

"Old man Shiquan?" Kangxi couldn't help laughing: "He has been in power for 60 years, and he lived to be 89 years old. He has excellent martial arts. My grandson can indeed be called old man Shiquan."

Kangxi's words inevitably revealed his love for Qianlong.

On the other hand, Yongzheng's face was calm. He had a lot of opinions on the sentence that Qianlong believed that Kangxi gave up the throne to Yongzheng because he liked him: "I won the throne by fighting all the way from the princes, and I didn't rely on your grandpa's liking. you."

Although Yongzheng had some opinions on Qianlong's words, but after all, it belonged to his son, so of course he would not say anything more.

The emperors of other planes were not so polite.

"Isn't it a bit too shameless for an emperor to convict a minister because of a queen's funeral, and engage in cultural imprisonment, and pretend to be a perfect old man?"

"Old man Shiquan? He is just a foreign emperor who has fought a few internal wars, yet he dares to say that he is old man Shiquan? It's a bit of a fuss."

Zhu Di sneered even more. Now that he knew that the Qing Dynasty replaced the Ming Dynasty, he didn't like Qianlong at all: "I also want to know how confident an emperor of a foreign race can call himself a perfect old man."

The First Emperor also snorted: "My Chinese culture has been passed down for a long time, and the literary masterpieces written by countless sages are even more historical treasures. A prosperous dynasty should have the self-confidence of its culture."

"During the Qianlong period, which can be called the heyday of the feudal dynasty, we should treat culture with a more tolerant attitude."

"It's just because of one or two words that there is a lot of cultural confinement. This kind of prosperous age is just in name."

The inventory continues to start:
"Old man Shiquan's ten battles are not to say how brilliant the ten battles were, but on the contrary, these ten battles can be said to be ten victories. It is a bit shameless to flaunt one's achievements with such a record victories. .”

"The ten wars cost a lot, not only wasting a lot of revenue from the national treasury, but also causing devastation and poverty for the people."

"In the late Qianlong period, there were many peasant uprisings, and the famous White Lotus Sect swept across several provinces, and it was not suppressed until the seventh year of Jiaqing."

"Qianlong himself didn't understand military affairs, and he was very happy about his achievements. Showing off his military power was probably his happiest thing."

"Among the ten wars, there were a few wars that could have been suppressed by the military and falsely surrendered, and the internal divisions had reversed themselves, but Qianlong still insisted on fighting. His idea was to fight until the people were convinced."

"Myanmar, the Battle of Annan, the imperial court lost troops and lost generals. In the end, the opponent was forced by the strong initiative of the Qing Empire and Qianlong barely found a way to go down."

"The conquest of Jinchuan is of great significance to the rule of the Qing Dynasty, but the losses are even greater, and the victory is not military."

"Wars in history cost a lot, and the loss in the middle can be imagined. The huge manpower and material resources plus casualties earned Qianlong the title of Shiquan old man."

The most incredible thing about Qianlong is his incredible political manipulation.

"He not only rehabilitated Dorgon and restored his kingship, but also released some officials who were corrupt and accepted bribes. He also relaxed the evaluation system for officials, which directly led to corruption and corruption in the administration of officials."

Qianlong's six trips to the south of the Yangtze River were nominally to inspect the people's conditions, but in fact they took the opportunity to travel around the mountains and rivers, which cost a lot of money.Along the way, local officials paid tribute to many items.

What Qianlong most criticized by later generations was his taking and letting go of imperial power.

On the one hand, he did not want to surpass his grandfather, Emperor Kangxi, on the other hand, he firmly grasped the imperial power. Although he abdicated to his son Jiaqing, he still controlled the power center of the Qing Dynasty.

Qianlong wrote more than [-] poems in his life, and he can be said to be the poet with the most output in the world. When the Qing Dynasty compiled a thousand poems, he also had the audacity to ask himself to be included in it.

Forty-eight thousand poems, none of which can be selected into the collection of poems.

Since the Qing Dynasty was dominated by foreign races in the Central Plains, it is inevitable that there will be a lot of discussions in private.

So the arrogant Qianlong started an investigation, as long as there were any signs, they would be thrown into prison.

Even some people who have died will be exhumed and flogged by Qianlong, and folk book collectors will not escape death once they are found.

The famous example among them is related to "Kangxi Dictionary"

The Kangxi dictionary is a book appointed by Kangxi, so it is naturally sacred and inviolable.

But dictionaries are not immune to errors.A pedant Wang Xihou saw an error in the dictionary and quietly corrected it.

After this incident was known by Qianlong, he was executed for treason.

In Qianlong's later years, even the words in the memorial were censored one by one, and the words old and dead could not be seen.

Its abnormal psychology can be seen.

Qianlong's arrogance and arrogance made his thoughts stand still.

The specific thing is that in 1793, the British Macartney Mission visited China.

The British wanted to introduce their latest inventions to China, such as steam engines, cotton spinning machines, carding machines, looms, as well as howitzers, mortars and hand-held weapons, exquisite instruments.

The arrogant Qianlong said after seeing it: "The kingdom of heaven has nothing to lack, and will not do business with small countries. If Britain lacks something, Qing Dynasty can send it for free."

The entire central government of the Qing government did not have any understanding of scientific and technological progress. Less than 50 years later, when the Opium War broke out, China's door was forced to open, and scientific and technological ideas and concepts were slowly introduced into China.

In the later period of Qianlong, he was even more rejoicing. A large number of corrupt officials were appointed, which led to the corruption of the court, and the rebels everywhere moved one after another, but Qianlong was very happy all day long.

Since the reign of Qianlong, Kangxi, and Yongzheng have left him with nothing, and what was left to Jiaqing is a mess.

Seeing these checks, Qianlong gritted his teeth angrily, and the waiters and arsenic around him were even more arrogant.

"Wu Chen's kid is too deceitful."

"I have spent my whole life in martial arts and martial arts, and under my leadership, the Qing Dynasty has moved towards greater glory. Is this wrong?"

"When I quelled the rebellion, I wanted to maintain the border and territorial integrity."

"My management of thought is to enable the Qing Dynasty to have a stable foundation of unity and harmony."

"I am the emperor of the kingdom of heaven, and I am a veritable old man of perfection."

The more Qianlong thought about it, the more angry he became, and he couldn't help but overturned the table case full of calligraphy in front of him to the ground.

Seeing Qianlong's angry look, Hearsen didn't dare to vent his anger.

If the corruption in the Qing Dynasty was really investigated by Qianlong, it would naturally be found on his head.

And the people who were implicated around the emperor in the historical inventory did not end well, and what kind of person he was, he didn't know what kind of person he was.
