Short video: Shocking the world

[How cruel was Kangxi? Was Yongzheng a wise ruler? #History#Qing Dynasty]

"Slander, this must be another smear by the Han people!"

"It's the opposite of Tiangang."

"Since ancient times, how many emperors were not cruel? Everything was for the stability of the world! Were the Han emperors not cruel? Didn't Liu Bang and Li Shimin massacre the city? The untouchables of later generations kept praising the Han emperors and slandering and belittling my Qing emperor!"

"The methods of the Qing Dynasty have been talked about by later generations. They massacred the city and shaved the hair, and then advocated that the Manchus and the Han people should be one family. Do they really think that the pigtail that looks like a rat's tail is beautiful? Doesn't it make your head cold in winter? Not to mention that it is not as good as the Han people's clothes, it is not even as good as the shawl and hair!"

Zhu Yuanzhang gritted his teeth and said, "If all the strong men in history can fight, let's think of the Chongzhen era and meet these wild boars outside the pass."

["Is Kangxi a wise ruler or a foolish ruler?"]

【"He is not a foolish ruler, but he is far from a wise ruler."】

"How can the Holy Ancestor not be a wise ruler? It is no exaggeration to say that he is the greatest emperor of all time!"

【"Is the Kangxi and Qianlong era really a prosperous era?"】

【"Compared with the previous prosperous eras, the Kangxi and Qianlong eras are not at the same level."】

【"During the Kangxi and Qianlong eras, there were fifty or sixty peasant uprisings, literary inquisitions were serious, corrupt officials were rampant, and the people just avoided starvation."】

【"Is it true that Kangxi visited incognito?"】

【"It is false. Kangxi's six southern tours were very grand, and it was difficult for ordinary people to see them."】

【"Is Kangxi the greatest emperor of all time?"】

【"He was good at governing the country in his early years and never increased taxes."】

【"He was a lousy emperor in his later years, but fortunately Yongzheng helped to clean up the mess. Compared with Li Shimin, who created the Zhenguan era, he is not a great emperor. The greatest emperor of all time."]

"Didn't Li Shimin become senile in his later years?"

"The Holy Ancestor captured Oboi, pacified the Three Feudatories, recovered Taiwan, personally led an expedition against Galdan, defeated the invasion of Tsarist Russia, advocated benevolent governance, rested and rejuvenated the country, and created a prosperous era. How could he not be the greatest emperor of all time?"

【"Do you know how cruel Kangxi was?"]

【"In order to quell the rebellion of the Three Feudatories, less than one county's worth of people were killed in Sichuan. The violent implementation of the sea migration order reduced the number of coastal residents to less than 20%."]

"Less than one county's worth of people were killed in Sichuan? This Kangxi is called the Holy Ancestor of the Qing Dynasty, and he is not one of the Manchu emperors who just entered the pass, but his cruelty is not inferior to his ancestors at all! Is he also worthy of being called the Holy Ancestor? Where is he "holy"? "

"So cruel!"

【"Is Kangxi a top student?"]

【"Kangxi is proficient in algebraic geometry, is a pen pal with mathematician Leibniz, and Yuan Cigen Kangxi created the Chinese terms such as ", translated calculus, and in addition to mathematics, he was also proficient in astronomy and geography, mastered multiple languages, and cultivated high-yield rice."

"The Holy Ancestor is knowledgeable and has read through history books. No emperor can compare with him."

"It is undeniable that Kangxi is indeed knowledgeable!"

"I didn't live in that era, otherwise I could learn mathematics and calculus."

["Why did Kangxi choose the fourth son Yongzheng in the battle for the throne among the nine sons?"

["Because Yongzheng knew what his father Kangxi was thinking."

["Cannot threaten Kangxi, no matter who becomes the crown prince, brothers cannot kill each other."

["Yongzheng saw it clearly, so he had the last laugh in the battle for the throne."

Seeing this, Kangxi's sons understood, but they just didn't accept it.

【“Is it true that Yongzheng tampered with the edict of succession?”】

【“No, the original text of the edict was the fourth son of the emperor. If ten is changed to Yu, it will become the fourth son of the emperor. In addition, the edict is half in Chinese and half in Manchu, and it is almost impossible to modify the two languages.”】

【“Was Yongzheng a wise ruler?”】

【“Of course, he was still a first-class emperor. He spent 13 years to pay off his father’s 60-year debt and helped his son save pocket money for 60 years.”】

【“What did Yongzheng do to benefit the people?”】

【“The system of changing the land ownership and the fire consumption to the public has cracked down on the corruption of the landlord class and provided the people with relatively free production.”】

Kangxi plane.

“Fourth son, people in later generations belittle the emperor, but praise you. Why is that?”

“Yes, why is that?”

From the previous video, we can see that the fourth son became the future Emperor Yongzheng. Kangxi’s ambitious sons have targeted the fourth son Yinzhen, and now they are even more sarcastic.

"The merits and demerits will be judged by future generations. What do you mean? Could it be that I bribed people in the future to brag about myself and belittle my father? Do you think I have such a great ability?"

["Why was Tian Wenjing valued by Yongzheng?"]

["At the beginning of Yongzheng's reign, the local areas were in chaos and officials were corrupt, resulting in an empty treasury. Officials like Tian Wenjing who dared to speak the truth were needed, and they actively implemented Yongzheng's policies such as the land tax distribution, and investigated the cases of deficits thoroughly."]

["Yongzheng wasWhy did they want to raid Cao Xueqin's house?"]

【"Cao Xueqin's grandfather Cao Yin was Kangxi's childhood friend. He was corrupt, but Yongzheng didn't indulge him after he succeeded to the throne. Moreover, when the nine sons competed for the throne, the Cao family indirectly supported the eighth son."]

【"How diligent and honest was Yongzheng?"]

【"He got up at 3 a.m. every day, got off work at 11 p.m., took 3 days off every year, and was in office for 13 years. He approved memorials of more than 10 million words, and wrote more than 8,000 words of approval documents every day on average."]

"In terms of diligence, I'm afraid no one can compare with Emperor Yongzheng!"

"If I learn from him, I'm afraid I'll be exhausted in a year."

【"What was Yongzheng's biggest failure?"]

【"He gave birth to Qianlong and gave him the throne."]

【"Why do some people say that Qianlong is a sinner for all ages? ”]

【“He was arrogant and conceited, and he squandered money under the guise of visiting incognito. The treasury was empty, the people suffered, and he fattened up the corrupt official Heshen. There were more than 130 literary inquisitions, many cultural classics were lost, the country was closed to the outside world, and it was beaten and humiliated in modern times. ”]

Looking at the sky, Qianlong's face was gloomy.

Having watched so many videos that "devalued" the Qing Dynasty before, Qianlong had a certain resistance to the "slander" of later generations.

But this video was different. He and his grandfather Kangxi were "slandered" by later generations, but his father Yongzheng was praised by later generations, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

They were all emperors of the Qing Dynasty, so why?

In later generations, his mentality was that he was afraid that his brothers would suffer, and he was afraid that his brothers would drive Land Rover.

【“Heshen embezzled so much money, did Qianlong know?”]

【“Of course I know, and I tacitly agreed. If the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked. Heshen was a first-rate moneymaker, and Qianlong was also a first-rate spender."]

["How powerful was Heshen?"]

["In Qianlong's later years, he would pass on imperial edicts through Heshen, and his power even exceeded that of Jiaqing, and he was called the Second Emperor."]

"Letting a minister be the Second Emperor, and put pressure on Emperor Jiaqing, feels like Zhao Gou's use of Qin Hui, and the title of Gaozong is well deserved!"

"It was worth it for Heshen to be called the Second Emperor!"
