Short video: Shocking the world

【Why is Zhu Yuanzhang not as good as Yongzheng in fighting corruption? #History】

Seeing this title, some dignitaries of the Qing Dynasty felt like they were in tears.

Finally, there is a place where the emperor of the Ming Dynasty cannot compare with the emperor of the Qing Dynasty!

"Zhu Yuanzhang was born a beggar, and he got the throne by chance. Even if he read a few books, he could not change his petty mind. He was stingy with officials, and some officials were corrupt and only knew how to kill. Emperor Shizong of the Qing Dynasty was much better than him!"

"Later generations are right, Zhu Yuanzhang was only generous to his son."

【"Why is it said that only Yongzheng succeeded in the anti-corruption movement in history, while Zhu Yuanzhang, the pioneer of anti-corruption, failed?"】

【"Yongzheng's anti-corruption success was mainly due to learning from Zhu's anti-corruption shortcomings."】

"So, I am still his meritorious minister?" Zhu Yuanzhang was a little unhappy.

【“You have to know, which of Zhu’s corruption cases was not solved by his own efforts and investigations?”】

【“When investigating a case, a large number of people were killed. Those who were corrupt were killed, and those who protected their superiors were killed. Therefore, the officials below were afraid of Zhu’s accountability and lost their enthusiasm for anti-corruption.”】

【“As long as Zhu didn’t investigate any case, the subordinates would never care about it.”】

“Looking through the history books, the Ming Dynasty was indeed harsh on officials. The salaries of some officials were not enough to make a living. After being dismissed from office, the Minister of Public Administration Zeng Bingzheng did not even have money for travel expenses, so he had to sell his daughter to raise money for travel expenses. Who wouldn’t be greedy?”

“Besides, in the late Ming Dynasty, the treasure notes became less and less valuable. This situation was equivalent to reducing the salaries of officials, and more and more corrupt people were involved.”

【 "Unlike Zhu, Yongzheng was good at mobilizing the enthusiasm of his subordinates. For this purpose, he established a special anti-corruption agency and assigned a large number of candidate officials to investigate corrupt officials together."]

["Candidate officials are nominal positions. If you want to be a formal official, you must find corrupt officials with problems to fill the vacancies."]

["With motivation, these candidate officials will never show mercy when catching corrupt officials."]

"This is a great plan! Candidate officials have no official positions and will not be protected by officials. In order to gain power, they will definitely go all out."

"This Qing emperor is indeed capable. No wonder he is called the only true dragon of the Qing Dynasty by later generations!"

If there was no sky curtain before, and we could not see the short videos of later generations, someone would tell Zhu Yuanzhang: You are not doing enough to deal with corruption.

Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely think that he killed too few people. As long as he killed enough people, he could deter those who wanted to corrupt.

Now, Zhu Yuanzhang had to admit that his method was indeed a bit backward.

——

[Yongzheng's method is good. ]

[Qianlong: Did it really succeed? ]

[You can only succeed if you learn from the experience of your predecessors. ]

[This is a question of human nature. ]

[Nowadays, if you report a corrupt official, you can replace him and take his place. Just watch, you can't even get in the door or line up. ]

[How did the ancients view Qin Shihuang? #History]

"Tyrant!"

"Only future generations will brag about and whitewash Qin Shi Huang."

["Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng is a controversial emperor, and today he has been 'deified' for some reason."

["So how did the ancients view Qin Shi Huang more than two thousand years ago?"

["A netizen said that there is a temple of emperors in Beijing. The earliest one was in Nanjing. It was founded in the sixth year of Hongwu. At first, only 16 emperors were enshrined. After 393 years, it was finally decided to enshrine 188 emperors in the 29th year of Qianlong."

["For so many years, no one has put Qin Shi Huang in it."

["The meaning is very clear."

["How could a dynasty dominated by Confucianism allow Qin Shi Huang to exist?"

A scholar in a certain dimension of the Qing Dynasty said: "The Qing Dynasty does not worship Qin Shi Huang because he implemented tyranny and killed too many people."

"Too many people killed too many people?" The people on the side hesitated.

Now everyone in the world knows that among all the great unified dynasties, my Qing Dynasty is the most brutal in slaughtering the people.

Compared with my Qing Dynasty, is it appropriate to put the hat of tyrant on Qin Shihuang's head?

——

[Qin Shihuang is the first emperor in history, the founder of the imperial system, and the first person to complete the great unification. If he can't enter the imperial temple, who else can? ]

[Do you deny Qin Shihuang? Then why do they all recognize his imperial seal? ]

[Because they have inherited the two-faced turtle. ]

[People have scolded him as a tyrant for more than two thousand years. With the change of the times, the moral bottom line of the dynasties behind has become lower and lower. There are many emperors who are more brutal than Ying Zheng, but Ying Zheng seems to be the most brutal one forever! ]

Ying Zheng sneered: "Denounce me? Then why do you all call yourself emperor? Degrade yourself to a king!"

"I am not as strong as Zhu Yuanzhang in killing officials, and I am not as strong as the Qing emperor in killing people. I don'tKill all the royal families of various countries. Compared with those emperors in later generations, I think I am not bad! "

"I know that I am not as good as later generations think, but compared with the emperors of the Sima family, the two emperors of the Song Dynasty, the emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty, Liu Ziye of the Liu Song Dynasty, the foreign emperors of the Five Barbarians, and those emperors of the Qing Dynasty who committed massacres, am I not good enough? "

"If I were Zhu Yuanzhang, the royal families of the six kingdoms, the Zhou royal family, the founding heroes of the Qin Dynasty, and those powerful people with the right to speak would all have to die! Even human sacrifice cannot be left out! Mencius' words must not be listened to! "

"If I were Zhu Yuanzhang, I would not have to reason with those ministers who wanted to continue the feudal system. I have many sons, so I will just enfeoff them all. No matter how they abuse and kill people, I don't care. ”

“Even if they rebel in the future, the Great Qin will still be the Great Qin. The meat will rot in the pot, and the world will still be surnamed Ying. The Great Qin escaped the second generation and died. I can be considered worthy of my ancestors!”

[Then the reputation of Qin Shihuang has improved?

Answer: Because Qin Shihuang reincarnated as Zhou Wenqiang.]

[Guaranteed.]

“Who is Zhou Wenqiang? Why did Ying Zheng reincarnate as him?”

“This is a joke from later generations! This person named Zhou Wenqiang should be the one who flattered Qin Shihuang.”

…

[Which system is more reasonable, the Ming Dynasty did not allow vassal kings to enter the capital, and the Qing Dynasty did not allow princes to leave the capital? #History]

“Of course, the system of my Qing Dynasty is more reasonable!”

“How did the Ming Dynasty disappear? Later generations know better than us! For my Qing Dynasty, those vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty made great contributions.”

[“Some netizens asked, as both feudal dynasties, why did the Ming and Qing dynasties have completely different systems for clan relatives? Was it reasonable for the Ming Dynasty to not allow the princes to enter the capital? Or was it reasonable for the Qing Dynasty to not allow the princes to leave the capital? "】

【"This is not a question of whether it is reasonable or not. It's like a person who has always liked to eat sweets. Suddenly one day he gets diabetes. Will he continue to eat sweets? "】

【"In summary, the feudal system of the Ming Dynasty was a step backward in history. Zhu Yuanzhang, who was born as a peasant, did not accept the lessons of history and forcibly restored the feudal system of the Zhou Dynasty and the early Han Dynasty, but was soon slapped in the face by reality. "】
