Forget the original intention of becoming an official, Suo'etu has transformed from a capable minister---a meritorious---power minister to a criminal minister

In the Kangxi dynasty of the Qing Dynasty, there were many historical celebrities, you can list a string of names: Sony, Suksaha, Yubilong, Obai, Zhang Tingyu, Mingzhu, Suo Etu, Li Guangdi, Shi Lang, Lang Shining , Tang Ruowang, Nan Huairen, Yu Chenglong, Yao Qisheng, Zhou Peigong, Wei Dongting and so on.

The first four in this are the auxiliary ministers entrusted to his son Xuan Ye by the Shunzhi Emperor before his death. Among them, the veteran Sony died of illness, the Abbott was captured by the young Kangxi, and the other two did not end well.

In addition to these four people, the other dozens of them were all very useful during the Kangxi period. They kept their names in the annals of governing the country, regaining lost land, and benefiting the ruling and opposition parties.

Through the dissemination of literary works such as film and television dramas, people know more about the name of Suo'etu, the important minister of the Kangxi Dynasty, and his story.

The third son of Sony, the veteran of the four dynasties in the early Qing Dynasty, belonged to the authentic "second generation of officials". In the history of the Qing Dynasty, he had a good performance.

Although this person was identified as the "first sinner in this dynasty" by Emperor Kangxi in his later years, the overall image he left to later generations is still relatively positive.

From the introduction of historical materials, it can be known that the young Kangxi was assisted by him when he captured the Aobai, and he was the only one who made plans and arrangements for Ping Sanfan, and he had the full power to negotiate with Tsarist Russia to safeguard national sovereignty.

It can be said that Suo'etu was a capable minister and once a hero in the Kang Dynasty. Later, he transformed into a powerful minister and a criminal minister, becoming a victim of political struggle.

Suo'etu entered the official position with a famous background, not only because he is the son of the first-class minister of public and political affairs Sony, but also because his niece is Empress Xiaochengren, the beloved Emperor Kangxi. And the queen who died early was the biological mother of the current prince Yinrong.

With the special background of these imperial relatives, it is no surprise that Suo'etu easily ranks among the court officials.

was hired initially, Suoetu was just an ordinary guard. Because of the relationship with the Queen Hesherich, he quickly flew to the top. In the first year after Sony's death, that is, in the seventh year of Kangxi, Suo Etu inherited his father's knighthood, and was then promoted to the right minister of the staff.

In May of the eighth year of Kangxi, Suo'etu resigned from the post of assistant man and became a first-class guard. He was attracted by the young emperor Kangxi as a confidant.

At that time, as the last of the four ministers, Obai was proud of himself and planted his party members. "All civil and military officials should go out of Yimen." He has the right to place his confidants in the three inner houses and various ministries to hold important positions, dismiss ministers who disagree with him at will, and wantonly interfere with the young Kangxi's administration.

Aobai dominates the court and threatens the emperor, arousing strong anger from Emperor Kangxi.

In the eighth year of Kangxi, in the name of playing chess, Kangxi summoned Suo'etu and other cronies to plot a plan to capture Obai wisely. Emperor Kangxi appointed Obai's cronies to leave the capital, and then sent his confidant generals to take control of the guards of the capital. When the time was right, Kangxi made an order to call Aobai into the palace to discuss matters. Obey swaggered into the palace, only to be captured and imprisoned by a group of young guards.

In the assault operation to capture Obai, Suoetu, as a first-class guard, made great contributions. Help the young Kangxi really hold the power of government. For this reason, Suo Etu was also promoted to a bachelor of the Chinese Academy of History, and a year later he was awarded a bachelor of Baohedian, until the nineteenth year of Kangxi (1680) in August.

From the eighth year of Kangxi to the eleventh year of Kangxi, in just four years, Suo'etu made the leap from the first-class guard of the inner court to the cabinet scholar, the prince and the prince. Become the most powerful minister in the court at that time.

Because Suo'etu ranks third in his family, and his memory is excellent, he is often unforgettable, so it is called "Three Eyes Suoxiang".

When the Ming dynasty’s generals Wu Sangui and Geng Jingzhong began a rebellion, and the world was in turmoil, Suo Etu made a mistake in his judgment, believing that this was due to improper changes in the imperial court’s withdrawal of the tribe. Reprimanded by Emperor Kangxi.

After that, Suo Etu knew that it was Kangxi's wish to cut the feudal clan, so he was willing to be blamed and did not complain about it. In the war action to put down the "San Francisco" rebellion, he actively made suggestions and assisted the emperor in strategizing. Many of his suggestions and propositions were taken by KangxiThe emperor’s adoption and implementation played an important role in quelling the "San Francisco" chaos in a timely manner.

Historical records: " is more strategic when claiming power, and when the three rebellions are in charge, he will prepare military books and dispatch generals. All are pertinent to ." It can be seen that Suo Etu is in quelling the rebellion and stabilizing the national situation. , Made an indelible contribution.

Here, whenever Emperor Kangxi listened to the political affairs played by the ministry, Suoetu often played first, presenting his own opinions, related to the employment of officials, conscripts and other major issues, and was often accepted for discussion. On November 23, the eighteenth year of Kangxi, Emperor Kangxi was unable to go to court due to illness. He once ordered officials of the Ministry of Education to send his memorials to the cabinet university scholar Suo Etu and others for approval. Suo Etu's power is prosperous and admirable.

Suo Etu is familiar with Confucianism and assisted the emperor in establishing the political and economic system of the Qing Dynasty, which is included in the "Dai Qing Huidian" compiled in the 26th year of Kangxi.

Not only that, Suo'etu is deeply influenced by the Han culture, and he also has the expertise in identifying cultural relics. He is "good antique. Since the Han, Han and Tang Dynasties, the pots and pans have been used to meet each other, and all of them can distinguish the true fakes and those who dare to deceive."

In August of the nineteenth year of Kangxi, Suo'etu lost power in the battle with Mingzhu, so he asked for dismissal because of illness. Emperor Kangxi's enlightenment and excellent decree praised: "Qing Fubi is a heavy minister, diligent and skillful, and since the use of troops, he has been planning and conquering the opportunity." He ordered him to go to the court of the Minister of Internal Affairs, and soon he was awarded the important post of Minister of Government.

A few years later, Suo'etu was implicated in his own misbehavior and his brother's dereliction of duty. He was dismissed from his post and stayed as a leader, and fell to a low point in his career.

In the twenty-fifth year of Kangxi (1686), the emperor considered that the prince's prestige needed support, so he ordered Suo'etu to come back and became the minister of the head guard.

In the twenty-seventh year of Kangxi, Suo'etu was appointed as the chief representative of the Qing Dynasty and Tsarist Russia to negotiate the northeast border issue. He followed the instructions of Emperor Kangxi before leaving Beijing and fought hard with the Tsarist representative. In a few months, the Nerchinsk Treaty was finally signed with the Geerbiqi River and the Ergun River, and the Great Khingan Mountains (ie, the Outer Khingan Mountains) as the main content of the border between the two countries. Resolutely safeguarded the sovereign interests of the country.

The Nerchinsk Treaty was concluded on the basis of equal consultation between China and Russia. Although the Qing Dynasty failed to recover the Maoming’an nomadic land, it prevented Tsarist Russia from making further progress. The aggression has ensured a peaceful life for residents on the border between the two countries and consolidated the northern frontier. Suo Etu is tantamount to doing an indispensable great deed.

Since then, in the rebellion campaigns of Gardan, the leader of the Junggar tribe by Emperor Kangxi several times, Thorntu was responsible for the mistakes in his command, but he remained loyal to his duties. Emperor Kangxi returned to Beijing and ordered Suo Etu to manage the affairs of setting up waterways. Esuo Etu has done a good job in this expedition and restored his original level.

In September of the 40th year of Kangxi, Suo Etu left the court because he was old and asked to retire.

If it ends here, the Suo Etu will be successful. But what happened next was unexpected, Suo Etu pushed himself into the abyss, and turned from a hero to a criminal.

In the forty-first year of Kangxi (1702), Emperor Kangxi traveled south to Dezhou, the crown prince Yinrong fell ill and ordered Suoetu to go to Dezhou for medical treatment.

The reason why Emperor Kangxi suddenly called Suo'etu to Dezhou this time was to make the visit to serve the prince, but the true meaning was not the case. Suo'etu is the uncle of Empress Xiaochengren, the birth mother of the crown prince. The prince has a close relationship with Suo'etu. Emperor Kangxi wanted to take this to investigate whether the two people really did something wrong.

In the thirty-nine year of Kangxi before, the emperor Kangxi did not deal with it when someone reported that they were trying to plot a wrongdoing. But Suo Etu himself realized that the emperor was looking at him, so he was fired again in the 40th year of Kangxi (1701) to avoid suspicion.

This time, Prince Yinfeng fell ill in Texas, and Suo'etu was ordered to serve. The two of them had been in private for more than a month, and they "planned big things" together.

In Texas for more than a month, Suo Etu and the prince carried Kangxi recklessly. Suo'etu rode a horse to the gate of the prince's residence (it is a capital crime to discuss the law), but Yinrong is not surprised. The things that Yinfeng used in Texas were all yellow, and other ritual notes were also imitating the emperor. All kinds of illegal things were quickly accused.hair. When the Emperor Kangxi heard the news, he was surprised and furious. In May of Kangxi's forty-two years, he finally arrested Suo'etu and handed it over to the clan's imprisonment on the charge of "discussing state affairs and forming a party."

But Kangxi could not remember Suo'etu's feat of accompanying him from birth to death, and said: "I thought I was a minister of the original department, and I couldn't bear it, Gudaier died!"

Although he was not decapitated, he was killed Four months after banning the clan residence, Suo'etu died of starvation in September.

In the forty-seventh year of Kangxi, Emperor Kangxi enumerated the "various evils" of the crown prince Yinrong to the ministers, and said: "In the past, the emperor tried to help Iraq (the crown prince) conspired in big things, I know it. Love, put Suo Etu to death. Jin Yin Rong wants to avenge Suo Etu and form a party."

According to records: When Suo Etu was banned, there was a "guest sneaked into prison to feed food, and public Fuck the law, the guest will take care of the funeral, and go away crying bitterly, not knowing the end." It is already obvious that the prince sent someone to do it.

Suo'etu’s comrades were later killed, detained, and exiled; the descendants of the same ancestors were dismissed. His two sons, Gelfen and Al Jishan, were executed. The Emperor Kangxi completely denied the important military and political events that Suo'etu participated in in his lifetime, except for the negotiations with Tsarist Russia in Nibuchu, and said that "Suo'etu is the first sinner of the dynasty".

Suo'etu has made countless contributions throughout his life. Why did he finally become the first sinner of the Kangxi Dynasty?

The truth behind the public performance of historical figures is often not that simple.

Qing Dynasty’s historical records: “ Suoetu was born and prosperous, sexually sloppy, and some people who do not belong to oneself denounce it. With the dynasty’s lone relative Li Guangdi ”; and “ Suo Ge The old man, the uncle of the queen, has the authority to use things, bribes the public, and many people complain .”

Suo Etu As a courtier, his first half of his life can be summarized as "loyal to the emperor". He assisted the young Emperor Kangxi to remove his strong enemy Obai, helped Emperor Kangxi to gain real power, and played a vital auxiliary role in the suppression of the San Francisco incident. He acted as an uncle and a courtier for his niece and queen. After the death of his niece, he was dedicated to assisting the young prince. However, in the latter half of his life, Suo'etu changed its taste and became a powerful minister and a criminal minister.

analyzed the reasons for the change of Suo'etu, nothing more than the following aspects:

Arrogant and arrogant, Dezhi will forget about . Suo Etu was just 32 years old when he flew into Huang Tengda in the eighth year of Kangxi. The triumphant Suo'etu had a low level of cultural accomplishment. In the 19th year of Kangxi, he was dismissed as a bachelor for forming a party for private business. Two years later, all his positions were dismissed. But he did not take warning.

In addition to being arrogant and arrogant, arrogant and partying, Suo Etu also committed a big crime or a capital crime. From the perspective of Emperor Kangxi at that time, ten thousand deaths were not enough to cover his crime. That is, he instigated the prince to rebel and rob the class to seize power. This is one of the most stupid things Suo'etu did in his later years.

Kangxi had a very deep relationship with his original partner, Hesher. At that time, Hesher’s son died unfortunately and Kangxi was in pain. Aiwu and Wu, Kangxi immediately canonized the newborn son as the prince, and most of the compensation for the queen was invested in the prince.

The prince has always been regarded by Kangxi as his definite successor, and he hopes that he will be able to hand over the stable situation to him in a hundred years. But Suo'etu actually took too long to be the prince, instigating his father-son discord and instigating the prince to rebel and seize power. This caused a great shock to Kangxi's heart, and also caused Kangxi to regard Suo'etu as a mortal enemy and prevent him from entering the ancestral tomb after his death. The descendants of Suo'etu were greatly implicated because of his father's sins, and the Suo Clan's family fell into disrepair.

Enthusiastic parties fighting for power, both losers hurt . Anyone who has watched "Kangxi Dynasty" knows that "Three Eyes Suoxiang" has a rival "Kaleidoscope Mingxiang" Nalan Pearl.

Mingzhu, like Suo'etu, both came from Kangxi's trusted guards. Mingzhu was promoted several times in the 7th year of Kangxi, and was awarded the Shangshu of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs in the 7th year of Kangxi, and was transferred to the Ministry of Military Affairs in the 11th year. Suo Etu is the queen's uncle, Mingzhu is the elder brother of Concubine Hui Namas of Kangxi, and Concubine Hui is the biological mother of the elder brother Yin Yin. So and Ming are both royal relatives.

Kangxi Twelve Years, Mingzhu asked the emperor to make an order to withdraw the vassal, and Suo Etu asked Zhu to suggest the withdrawal of the vassal. The two were at a loss for a while. With the edict of Kangxi's retreat, Mingzhu was greatly favored, and Suo Etu was momentarily disappointed.

In the fourteenth year of Kangxi (1675), the official book of the Mingzhu Officials Department. In sixteen years, he was awarded the Bachelor of Wuyingdian University, and concurrently served as the president of "Factual Record", "Fanglue", "Unification History", "Ming History", and accumulated the prince and grandmaster. At this point, Pearl's limelight has overshadowed Suo'etu and became the first celebrity of the dynasty. After the end of the San Francisco Rebellion, Kangxi sighed with emotion: "At that time, there were those who asked for advice, if I followed them, it would be wrong!" Again, he implicitly rebuked Suo Etu.

"Drafts of Qing History·Mingzhu Biography" records: "It is a mutual planting party with Suo'etu. Suo'etu is born and noble and prosperous, sexually unrestrained.... Mingzhu serves to be modest, light money and good money. New entrants are recruited, and the dissidents are trapped by a conspiracy, and they are tied up with Xu Qianxue and others. They ask for good deeds to the crown prince, and Mingzhu, on the contrary, if there is a servant of the crown prince, they are all reprimanded.”

It has come to the point where you die and die, and the freak figure is the jewel.

Suo'etu and Mingzhu have different political views, and have long had grievances, and because of their pets, they often fight each other endlessly. However, they also have something in common, that is, they both like to take authority. In terms of characteristics, Suo'etu is too arrogant, while Mingzhu tends to be insidious, so there is a folk proverb that says: "Heaven wants peace, kill Laosuo; God wants peace, kill Laoming". Kangxi knew these two people very well, so he often played a balance between them, let them restrain each other, and prevent one person from sitting up.

In the eighteenth year of Kangxi, Emperor Kangxi used natural disasters and earthquakes to warn Suo'etu: "I will take the earthquake, and I will repair the province. You should also wash the lungs and intestines, and be loyal. After appointment, the ministers Every plan is forgiving, but friends are more greedy than favoritism. If things are discovered, the law of the country is in place, and we will never lend!"

Kangxi nineteenth year (1680), the claim was favored by the Pearl The picture retreats and seeks to advance, with the excuse of being seriously ill. Kangxi was very pleased. After he was appointed as Minister of Internal Affairs, he was transferred to Minister of State Affairs and Minister of Internal Affairs. Some of his family's Hesheli family also had many titles.

The first to fall in the party struggle was Mingzhu. However, Kangxi, after all, was grateful for Mingzhu's hard work in the past, and couldn't bear him to death. He only expelled Mingzhu from the position of bachelor and was given the title of minister.

Without the Pearl's checks and balances, Suo'etu still firmly holds the government even if he retreats behind the scenes. Although the queen Hesherich died early, but the prince Yinrong is still alive. Suo Etu's party members are scattered throughout the court and the opposition. His brother Kabra and his younger brother Fabao are first-class fathers, and his younger brother Xinyu is first-class uncles. The cronies he cultivated are even more numerous.

The middle-aged prince Yin Rong abandoned himself willingly, but he became more intimate with his uncle and grandpa. Because of his greed for power, Suo'etu urgently needs the prince to strengthen his position.

But Emperor Kangxi would not tolerate the change of the surname of Aixinjueluo to Hesheli anyway. So he abolished the prince again, and took Suo'etu to the clan's residence to imprison him to death for the crime of "forming a party and discussing state affairs".

Forget the original intention of being an official, and become corrupt . Although Suo'etu entered the officialdom by relying on the aura of his father's generation in his early years, most of his official positions were obtained by his personal talents.

Because of Empress Xiaochengren, in the early years of Kangxi, Suoetu stood firmly on the side of the childhood emperor Kangxi on behalf of the Hersheli family. He resolutely resigned from the post of Assistant Officer of the Official Department You, and went to any class of guards. The purpose was entirely to help Kangxi cut Obai. Since then, he has been loyal and loyal as a minister and made many deeds that benefit the country and the people.

However, Suo'etu forgot his original intention to become an official in the second half of his life and became a powerful minister. Suo Etu is not as self-contained as his father, and he has not been upright and clean. He is more greedy than Sony, and even more in love with power than Sony. Sony did not accept any bribes during the period of power. Gold and silver jewelry are not rejected. Folklore records that in order to show its richness and rivalry, the hot pot of the Suo'etu family is made of pure gold.

In addition, he also transfers his adopted daughter to the prince for pleasure, raises his ministers for his own use, and uses the collected property to draw around and expand his power.

Suo'etu can be described as a veteran of the officialdom. In the early days, he easily defeated Mingzhu by retreating. Kangxi forty years, Suo'etu, who has passed his sixtieth birthday, retired again on the grounds of old age to cover his eyes and ears.

However, his domineering demeanor was well known during his decades in the court, and his group power has long been formed. The emperor Kangxi, who was suffering from hardship, knew this naturally.

Kangxi had changed his views on the prince in his later years, and Suo'etu, as a foreign relative, tried his best to protect the prince's status, and had the unreasonable desire to make the prince ascend to the throne in advance. How can this be tolerated!

Suo'etu was taken down because he pushed the prince to the upper position; the prince wanted to make trouble for Suo'etu's revenge, and was scrapped again.

Kangxi said in the detention of Suoetu, "When you were a bachelor of the university, because of corruption and retreat, I returned to use, I did not miss my grace. That is, if you raise a dog, you still know the grace of the Lord. , Ruoer, it’s useless to try hard to add kindness. I want to send people to your house to search, but there are so many people involved in your house, and the whole country is uneasy, so I stopped. If I don’t start, you must do it first. I'm also thinking about it well. I will point you to one end, and then you can rectify the law here."

The scheming Suo-etu, in the end, could not escape the tragic ending of confinement to death. The lessons of history warn future generations time and time again: to be an official in politics, we must not forget our original intention, keep our mission in mind, and follow the right path in the world.
