Chapter 137 (1) Don't thank the country and thank my mother

Walking into history side by side with Heshen is the romantic and talented Ji Xiaolan.Popular TV dramas nowadays turn the two into sworn enemies and let them fight back and forth to please the audience.But the prototype of this TV series is the stand-up comedy that started in the Republic of China, and the name is "Man Han Dou".Probably because Heshen is a Manchu, and Ji Xiaolan is a Han, the stand-up comedy allows Ji Xiaolan's talent to bring out Heshen's incompetence, in order to satisfy the tastes of the people at that time.Although the republic of the five ethnic groups was reunited and the brothers of all ethnic groups were united, this art form is still passed down.

In fact, He Shen and Ji Xiaolan are very good personal friends. They work together to study knowledge together and accompany Qianlong happily.Of course, Heshen's emotional intelligence is higher than Ji Xiaolan's, and he has a better understanding of Qianlong's psychological activities that are obviously suffering from suspicion, which means that it is easier for Heshen to make money. Appearing in history at the same time as He Shen and Ji Xiaolan, there is also a prime minister, Liu Luoguo.But Liu Luoguo's artistic image is just the processing of his father Liu Tongxun, who also benefited from the admiration for the wisdom of the Han people in the early years of the Republic of China, and in recent years he has reached the peak of art with the help of TV dramas.But in fact, these three brothers do not occupy any place in history.If the three of them occupy some positions, then most of them are occupied by He Shen, and Ji Xiaolan and Liu Luoguo can basically be ignored.

Is such an evaluation a bit too harsh? This is already a very kind and kind evaluation.You know, when Ji Xiaolan and Liu Luoguo kowtowed at Qianlong's feet, the most bizarre Yin Jiaquan murder case in history broke out. The strange thing about this case is that the plot is simple, but the content is beyond the understanding of normal people.The incident happened when Qianlong returned to Beijing via Shanxi after taking Ji Xiaolan and Liu Luoguo on their fifth southern tour.Yin Jiaquan, a retired local cadre and former minister of Dali Temple, came to meet him and submitted an application form, requesting to apply for a posthumous title for his dead father Yin Huiyi.Seeing this, Qianlong was furious, roared fiercely, and ordered Yin Jiaquan to be taken down.

After taking it down, Qianlong realized that Yin Jiaquan's actions were not inappropriate and should not be taken down.So he immediately ordered officials to search Yin Jiaquan's home and look for arrogant words in his articles so as to find a reason to take it down. The officials searched word by word in the article written by Yin Jiaquan, but failed to find the fault.But how can there be no problems?If there is nothing wrong with Yin Jiaquan, does it mean that there is something wrong with Qianlong?Do you still want to hang out? So the officials said that Yin Jiaquan's Chinese language is so arrogant. The evidence is that Yin Jiaquan quoted Du Fu's poem from the Tang Dynasty in the article: Life is seventy years old... It's too shameless for you to dare to quote the sentence of a poet. enough.So Yin Jiaquan was sentenced to 3,600 knives to be hanged to death by Ling Chi. When the execution was about to be executed, Qianlong showed mercy and changed the sentence to hang Yin Jiaquan. He strangled Yin Jiaquan to death with a white silk to show Qianlong's great kindness.

What is the reason for Du Fu's saying "a life of seventy is rare since ancient times" actually caused Yin Jiaquan's death? The cause of the incident lies in Yin Jiaquan's father, Yin Huiyi. Speaking of Yin Huiyi, he is actually a model official in the hearts of the people in the imperial era.This person is very filial to his mother and serves his hometown. If the people in any place encounter difficulties, Yin Huiyi will arrive at the first time and work on the spot to solve them.The people praised him, guess how he answered? If we put it in the present, the officials would say: thank the country, thank... thank the biggest leader... In this case, the biggest leader will feel very comfortable after listening to it, and he will have to praise a few words.If officials who worked hard for the people were exhausted, leaders at all levels would spare time from their busy schedules to visit the memorial service in person to express their share of credit.

In short, the law in the officialdom is: you have to do the work alone, but the credit must go to everyone else, otherwise you will die a miserable death. But that Yin Huiyi completely ignored these rules. The people praised him, but he didn't say: Don't thank me, but thank the country, and thank the wise and mighty Emperor Qianlong... He didn't say these things, what did he say? He said: Don't thank me, but thank my mother, my mother asked me to do this. Don't thank Qianlong, thank your mother, what do you think Qianlong feels in his heart? You can be sure that Qianlong wished he could swallow Yin Huiyi alive every moment.However, Yin Huiyi was indeed an upright official in the traditional sense, and his family was completely desolate—a real desolate family. There was no bed, no bedding, and no pillows at home. When he went to bed at night, Yin Huiyi would lie on the ground with his head covered in dirt.Such a method made it difficult for Qianlong to start.

Fortunately, Yin Huiyi often gave lectures. Ordinarily, this was an opportunity. As long as he casually grasped a few words from Yin Huiyi, forced him to conspire against him, it was not impossible—but in Yin Huiyi’s case, Here, it happens to be really impossible.Because what Yin Huiyi talked about were some extremely weird terms, such as what is natural life, these metaphysical terms are far beyond the understanding of the primitive man Qianlong. Still unable to catch the handle, Qianlong should be itching his teeth with hatred, watching Yin Huiyi die poorly. Just when Qianlong sighed, thinking that there was no way to avenge this revenge, Yin Jiaquan came by himself and wanted to apply for a posthumous title for his father Yin Huiyi.Theoretically speaking, the imperial court should give a posthumous title to a master of Taoism like Yin Huiyi—but it was precisely because of this that Qianlong refused to give it, and wanted to strangle Yin Jiaquan so that others could not understand his own thinking rules. .

A big man must be moody. The little people must be moody and angry, follow the rules, so that people around you can have a label recognition of you, and it is easy to win a larger living space for yourself.And if the thinking rules of the big men are mastered by others, they will most likely die. In addition, Qianlong hated Yin Huiyi because he gave lectures, and if the lectures became popular, the empire would surely perish, because thought and wisdom are sharp weapons to destroy autocracy.This is also the consensus of the academic circles.
