Chapter 432 Emperor Qianlong finally knew his title of son-in-law
[When we talked about the Siku Quanshu earlier, we always compared it with the Yongle Encyclopedia. Now we will select their similarities in more detail.
The Yongle Encyclopedia was compiled during the reign of Emperor Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty, and contains a large amount of information on literature and art before the 14th century in my country. It is more than 300 years earlier than the foreign Encyclopedia Britannica.
The Sikuquanshu further integrated and supplemented the Yongle Encyclopedia in various aspects.
Some people may ask, since there was already the Yongle Encyclopedia compiled by the previous dynasty, why did you, Emperor Qianlong, compile the Siku Quanshu?
The answer is obvious! During the reign of Emperor Qianlong, the social, political, economic and cultural development of the Qing Dynasty was at its peak. Was Emperor Qianlong a person who was willing to sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor? He was obviously not!
By the way, 90% of the people who evaluated the happiest emperor in history nominated Emperor Qianlong. People who are not familiar with Emperor Qianlong would think of him as traveling to the south of the Yangtze River, traveling around, and having a fabulous treasury...
Whether it is true or not, we can know from various historical materials that Emperor Qianlong was not a person who sat on the throne for nothing. He also wanted to surpass the previous dynasty in both civil and military affairs.
We mentioned earlier that he called himself "the man of ten perfections."
In fact, many people also know that whether it was the Ming Dynasty compiling the "Yongle Encyclopedia" or the Qing Dynasty compiling the "Siku Quanshu", their purpose was out of strong political needs.
The country is stable and prosperous, and its overall trend is constantly improving. The rulers need to be civil and rule by culture.
The reason why Ming Chengzu Zhu Di compiled the "Yongle Encyclopedia" was that he ascended the throne through rebellion and the literati and officials strongly opposed him at the beginning. Therefore, Zhu Di wanted to eliminate the dissatisfaction with him in the court by compiling encyclopedias and reviving academic culture.
Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty compiled the Siku Quanshu because the Qing Dynasty had entered its heyday at that time and he wanted to consolidate his rule and combat the anti-Qing consciousness of Han intellectuals.
＜The Encyclopedia Britannica contains detailed introductions to important subjects, including history, and its academic and authoritative nature is recognized worldwide.＞
＜Chinese culture has always been at the forefront of the world [crying]＞
＜That’s why everyone hates the Qing Dynasty even more… I can read every part of China’s history, which spans thousands of years, but I can’t bear to read modern history… It’s all about our humiliation over the past century.＞
＜In fact, the reason why the Sikuquanshu was revised was because the version during the reign of Zhu Di was damaged during the reign of Jiajing. Although Jiajing ordered a new copy, it was already incomplete by the Qing Dynasty.＞
＜I heard that the original copy of the Yongle Encyclopedia was taken into the tomb of Emperor Jiajing? I have an idea… [狗头]＞
＜Don’t think about it, think about what happened when the coffin of Emperor Wanli’s tomb was opened? If it is not properly preserved, even if there is an original inside, it may disappear the moment it is opened.＞
＜The reprints from the Jiajing period seem to have been burned during the invasions of the British and French allied forces and the Eight-Nation Alliance. Some of them are scattered in Russia, Britain, France, the United States, Japan and other countries. [Sigh]＞
＜We will take back what those robbers stole from us one day!＞
＜Qianlong's life was really comfortable... His father, Emperor Yongzheng, was a complete workaholic, and he had many capable ministers and generals under him. If he got tired of Beijing, he could go to Jiangnan to have some fun. He must not be too comfortable.＞
＜This Emperor Qianlong is so rare [covering face] Don’t criticize me, I’ve just watched too many videos of Da Ru Chuan complaining recently, I can’t look at Emperor Qianlong anymore, I automatically changed to Zha Zha Long [covering face]＞
＜Well… although I don’t like Emperor Qianlong very much, he is not a son-in-law or a duck for the country [laughing and crying]＞
＜The main reason why Zhu Di offended the literati was that he executed Fang Xiaoru's entire clan, right?＞
＜Anti-Qing? When you see Anti-Qing, automatically input Anti-Qing and Restore Ming!＞
＜Anti-Qing? Anti-Qing and anti-feudalism! Abolish the feudal system and build a new China!＞
[Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty Aixinjueluo Xuanye: Wait, a son-in-law...? Working as a duck for the country? This is talking about me, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty???]
[Qing Emperor Qianlong Aixinjueluo Hongli: This is talking about me?! Who is spreading rumors!? How dare he make up such nonsense! I will kill all his clans!]
[Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di: Don't worry, don't be angry! Besides, you can't kill people in later generations even if you want to.]
[Yang Yong, 11th year of the Sui Dynasty Kaihuang era: I guess you, Qianlong, must have felt quite comfortable when you were the crown prince.]
[Qianlong Emperor of the Qing Dynasty Aixinjueluo Hongli: I never officially became a crown prince, but my life was quite comfortable, though a little tiring, not as free as when I was an emperor.]
[Emperor Zhengde of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Houzhao: Never officially served as the crown prince?]
[Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty Aixinjueluo Hongli: Secretly establish the succession system, do not establish a crown prince. And when we were princes, we had too much homework such as reading and martial arts every day... It was really tiring.]
[Li Chengqian in the fourth year of Tang Zhenguan: Are the princes of the Qing Dynasty so hardworking?]
[Tang Taizong Li Shimin: No wonder Guangmu said that Emperor Kangxi was raising Gu.]
[Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty Aixinjueluo Xuanye: I have appointed a crown prince!]
[Emperor Hongwu of Ming Dynasty Zhu Yuanzhang: Yes, he was enthroned, but he was also deposed. Moreover, he was enthroned and deposed twice [sighs] It's really a mess. How could you have the heart to do such a thing to your own son? ]
[Tang Gaozong Li Zhi: Qianlong is also Gaozong?!]
[Qing Emperor Qianlong Aixinjueluo Hongli: What! I am just Emperor Gaozong?!]
[Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Houcong: Isn't the title of Gaozong the same as the Fengshan ceremony at Mount Tai?]
[Tang Taizong Li Shimin: Oh? There is also this meaning. I remember that the Song Dynasty emperor known as Wanyan Gou was Song Gaozong?]
[Kublai Khan: That’s right! Gaozong… that’s a bit ironic… of course, I’m talking about Song Gaozong, not other Gaozongs.]
……
Ming Dynasty Hongwu 29th year
Zhu Yuanzhang stood with his hands behind his back, looking very calm and composed.
"There are so many Ming fans in later generations. Everyone in the world misses our Ming Dynasty..."
How pleasant it sounds to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty!
Rebelled against the Qing Dynasty!
"Fourth!"
Zhu Di was distracted when his father suddenly called him. He stood up straight instinctively: "Dad!!!"
"Humph." Zhu Yuanzhang looked down on him and pinched his beard with his hand. "The Yongle Encyclopedia is well done."
"Ah?" Zhu Di was obviously at a loss for words because of Zhu Yuanzhang's sudden praise, but after a while he gave the appropriate response.
"How can that be possible? Isn't it all thanks to you, Dad?"
"I don't have any good fortune to give you..." Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes sparkled, "By the way, can you help me see who among those civil officials is more suitable to compile the "Hongwu Encyclopedia"..."
"what?"
Zhu Di was stunned and cried in his heart.
Dad doesn't plan to leave anything for himself.
……
Qing Dynasty, Qianlong Period
"Sister-in-law!"
Emperor Qianlong was so angry that he kicked over the table in front of him. The eunuchs, who were bent over and lowered their heads, lowered their bodies and heads even lower in fear, almost touching the ground.
"Is there any concubine in my palace whose background is so powerful that I have to be wary of her?"
He thought about it over and over again but couldn't figure out who it was, so he directed all the curses to someone called Da Ru Chuan as mentioned in later generations.
"What kind of insulting name is Zha Zha Long?!"
"What will become of my reputation in the future?!"
"I can't forgive..."
"We need to find a few more people to write articles..."
Thinking of this, he instructed the eunuch again, "Let Yongyan come to my place."
At this time, Yongyan, who was running around anxiously in the palace, clenched his right fist and smashed it hard on his outstretched left hand.
"What should I do? What should I do?"
"Gaozong? It's OK that the emperor's grandfather is Shizong, and the emperor's father is Gaozong, but why did they mention Song Gaozong?"
He couldn't help but secretly complain about the light curtain's unnecessary actions.
Compared to Yongyan's inner uneasiness, Emperor Qianlong, who was still staring at the video on the light screen, seemed very relaxed.
He actually didn't want to do anything to Yongyan. He was old now, and Yongyan was the most promising of his remaining sons.
I called him here just to test him...
