Text丨Tingxue Talks about Movie
Watch " The World's Long River ", sympathize with human nature and power struggle, the beginning, the rolling Yellow River water impacts the people and tests the court.
The river water is flooded, the people are displaced, and the officials are standing in order, but none of them are thinking about the emperor in their hearts. Nature is showing their power, and the young emperor is also brewing secretly.
to control river transportation , we must take step by step to govern the world, and we must also plan and win a thousand miles. Is the river water easy to cure or the world easy to manage?
Compared with Kangxi in his early twenties, it is of course easy to cure rivers, because some people are not afraid of poor management when they have money, but it is a complex and arduous task to sort out the world.
controls the rule of power officials, and rectifies the rule of powerful officials,
controls it. As the name suggests, it is to rule subordinates and the people. How can subordinates rule? To convince them, they must not only rely on virtue, but also on means and ability.
should be powerful but not angry, strict but not harsh, gentle but not timid, broad but not loose, sharp but not manic, kind but not weak.
To put it bluntly, this is a profound and extensive knowledge. Ordinary officials may be able to understand one or two things after experience and study.
can be the only emperor in the world. His ability to control his subordinates is incomparable to ordinary officials. Why is Kangxi called the "Eternal Emperor"? He has his own means and methods to control his subordinates and control the world.
As the grandson of Huang Taiji , Kangxi was given high hopes since childhood. He ascended the throne at a young age. He defeated Oboi in a young age. It was the heroic spirit instilled by the family and has been influencing him.
The emperor’s grandmother Xiaozhuang has always trained him strictly with the standards of an emperor, and has taught him to be "abundant, kind, gentle and respectful" since he was a child.
Since he was five years old, Kangxi, who was young, went out early and returned late, did not dare to slack off at all. He was strict in education and comprehensive training, so that he not only could he be good at riding and shooting, but also understood the culture of Confucian .
After adulthood, Kangxi had a character of combining hardness and softness. He not only had a profound cultural cultivation, but also had a perfection.
Since he really took power, he has placed "pacifying the Three Feudals, collecting Taiwan, and managing the grain transportation" in the most important position. Now, the rivers have flooded again before the three periods are settled, so he is very anxious.
But he couldn't show any of the points in front of his ministers. He had already begun to make arrangements and slowly screen.
In the current hall, there are two powerful officials standing, one is Soetu , who has made great contributions to himself, and the other is the jewel who has promoted himself to the top in order to weigh the relationship.
, these two, one fat, one thin, one sings and one harmonious. On the surface, they look very harmonious, but behind their backs, they are fighting openly and secretly, and no one is convinced.
And what about all the officials? In fact, I have already stood in private, one of the Party and the other is the clear party, with clear division of labor and clear teams.
But what about Kangxi? But he was alone and had no one who was dedicated to him. The young emperor was anxious, but he could not show it on his face.
. Kangxi cannot be angry or resentful about the strength of Soetu and Mingzhu, because his foundation is not yet stable at present, and he also has to rely on the support of these two powerful ministers.
But this Yellow River angry water allowed Kangxi to see the court clearly and the world. At this time, his position became more firm.
The first task now is to manage the river, followed by the three balances. The road has to be taken step by step, and it is impossible to hurry. Fortunately, he met the upright Jin Fu and Chen Huang .
Speaking of these two people, one is so upright that it is unreasonable, while the other is so straightforward that it only knows how to govern the river. These two people have no foundation and no faction, and are just used by Kangxi. After
, the shrewd Kangxi, despite the opposition from the government, was promoted to Jin Fu as an official and reused Chen Huang. As it turned out, Kangxi took a good move.
Jin Fu and Chen Huang did not disappoint Kangxi's expectations. They worked day and night on the river bank, but their extraordinary promotion blocked Soetu's financial path.
As the first powerful minister, Soetu was a little lost at this time. He relied on his past contributions and because he was the uncle of the prince, he looked down on the young Kangxi in the court.
But who was Kangxi? Although he was in his early twenties at that time, his scheming and scheming far exceeded his peers. Will he not be able to see the performance of Soetu?
He was clear-headed, but for the sake of the prince, he still needed the support of important officials, so he kept turning a blind eye to Soetu.
But later, this suspicion was a bit too much, and Kangxi also introduced Mingzhu to check and balance him.
Fortunately, Soetu is not too stupid. He understood the emperor's mind. After that, he maintained this superficial relationship with Mingzhu.
and what about Mingzhu? He is not a good person either. In terms of knowledge, he is much better than Soetu, who was born on horseback. In terms of cleverness, he is also far above Soetu.
After all, this pearl actually has a relative relationship with Kangxi, because behind him is the eldest prince , so, Ming and Suo, from the root, they are all people who have had a relationship with Kangxi.
At present, they are also sure. As long as they are not out of line, no matter how much they make trouble, Kangxi will not do anything to them.
Before, the canal transportation was always in the hands of Soetu, and he relied on this river to make a fortune, but what about the river transportation? However, due to his inaction, he abused officials and was vulnerable.
A heavy rain left the people displaced and complained. Kangxi was not unaware of all this, but before, he could not find the opportunity to rectify it properly.
Now the opportunity has come. He immediately seized this opportunity and promoted two people from Zhihe who seemed to be incompatible with the world, but this step has made Soetu angry.
Because, this is equivalent to cutting off his wealth, he naturally dared not mess with the emperor, but he can still control those two amateurs.
So, there was a murder case of Jin Fu's son. Soetu's move was really cruel, which almost made Jin Fu cut off his incense, and deeply hit Jin Fu's determination to control the river.
Fortunately, Kangxi took action in time, not only saved Jin Fu's son, but also hit Suo'etu hard.
After knocking Soetu, I realized that the current emperor is very different from before. Kangxi now has long lost his gentleness and laughter.
Now he is becoming more and more majestic and increasingly unpredictable. In a word, Kangxi now has become a real emperor.
Kangxi's transformation made Soetu feel a little nervous. He did not dare to be too presumptuous, and also knew about convergence and low volatility.
And Mingzhu, Soetu's opponent, also saw the emperor's growth, but he was much smarter than Soetu and left a way out for himself early, and his way out was Gao Shiqi .
controls, controls jester
Speaking of Gao Shiqi, his life has really been ups and downs. He is a great talent in terms of talent, but in terms of arrogance, he can also be called a character.
Before the scientific examination, he spoke loudly, such as going straight to the southern study room, such as the three-phase tyrant, and the genius of the world. His arrogance and unruly made Soetu disdain and even more disgusted.
As a result, he was regarded as a joke by the powerful and powerful, but he has shortcomings and advantages. His shortcomings are obvious, and his advantages are also outstanding.
His advantages are that he is thick-skinned, sensible, and good at grasping opportunities. When he was poor and destitute, he could only set up a stall to survive. Unexpectedly, he was attracted by Soetu, who was having fun.
From then on, he entered the Suo Mansion and became a staff member of Soetu. Speaking of a staff member, in fact, he just wrote articles to make the emperor happy.
But if you write this Gao Shiqi, you have to write it, and you have to make a small burden. As a result, Suo'ertu was ridiculed by the emperor, and Suo'ertu, who was narrow-minded, would naturally not let him go. He whipped up and woke Gao Shiqi up completely.The pain in
made Gao Shiqi know that he could never live a life of silence like this anymore. To live, he had to live a brilliant life. With a flexible mind, he quickly found a shortcut.
The shortcut is to form an alliance with Mingzhu. Originally, Mingzhu looked down on him, but Mingzhu is not having a good life now. There is an emperor pressing him on it, and there is a soetu next to him.
Mingzhu knows that with his ability and background, if you want to compete with Soetu, you still need to find another way. Since someone wants to join, it may not be a good thing, so what's wrong with trying it? After
, the cunning Mingzhu made a clever plan. Without anyone noticing, he introduced Gao Shiqi to the emperor.
And his cleverness is that Gao Shiqi did not pass through his hands at all, so he cleverly covered up the relationship between the two in front of the emperor.
Sure enough, the emperor did not doubt him at all. Gao Shiqi quickly gained Kangxi's trust with his outstanding talent and ability to observe words and expressions.
In one day, he was promoted seven times in a row, becoming a myth at that time, and also realizing the prophecy of entering and leaving the Nan Study Room, but Gao Shiqi himself understood it.
Although he is respected as a noble prime minister, he is a false reputation without power and money. In Kangxi, to be deeply involved, he is a jester.
A person who wants to make the emperor happy at any time, depends on the emperor's face everywhere, and always bear the emperor's anger. What is the best role like this? Not easy to do at all.
Not only should he have to grasp the emperor's mood at all times, but he should also beware of his words and deeds everywhere, and he was really trembling as if walking on thin ice.
At first, the smart Gao Shiqi was indeed trusted by Kangxi, but later, Kangxi saw through the fact that he colluded with Mingzhu, and since then, his career went downhill.
However, if you want to be talented, this Gao Shiqi is really talented. In order to gain Kangxi's trust, he has a thorough understanding of Kangxi.
Back then, after , the Three Feudals was pacified, everyone was complimenting and celebrating. Only he wrote "Three Feudals Pacification, Nanxi Ning. Five provinces have smoke and dust, seven years have passed, and the country has not yet stabilized. How dare you claim to be a merit? There is Taiwan in the east, which will disturb our borders."
"To celebrate today, I climbed the city of Beijing and looked far away, with wars storms everywhere, and the horns of all directions were sad. This is truly a worry of internal and external troubles, and the critical autumn of survival and death."
"I wish my subjects of the Qing Dynasty will never have a lazy heart at this time. I am not the master of success, so why should I flatter the ministers? This heart is the same as the people, and this body is the same as the country."
It was this remark that made Kangxi look at him with admiration, but even if he looked up higher, Kangxi could not tolerate others cheating him. In the end, he was a talented man ruthlessly abandoned by Kangxi and replaced with Xu Qianxue .
This Xu Qianxue and Gao Shiqi were once called brothers of different surnames, but Xu Qianxue, who was knowledgeable but not brave, was not appreciated and trusted by Gao Shiqi.
However, Kangxi was quite interested in Xu Qianxue at first, and gave him a few opportunities, but he was screwed up by the useless Xu Qianxue every time.
Originally, Kangxi looked down on such a character, but if he wanted to suppress Gao Shiqi, he really couldn't find anyone after seeing this.
had no choice but to reuse Xu Qianxue. Fortunately, after several years of experience, Xu Qianxue had no choice but to lose his early pedanticism and timidity.
Finally, with the support of him and Kangxi, Gao Shi retired in shame and returned to his hometown. After being exploited, Xu Qianxue, of course, did not end up with any good consequences. In the end, the birds were gone and the good bow was hidden.
The final outcome
In fact, compared to Gao Shiqi, Soetu and Mingzhu have even worse outcomes. If you want to say who is the worst, it must be Soetu. As the emperor becomes stronger and stronger, Soetu's life becomes more and more sad.
Now he no longer dares to go against the emperor openly, but after being arrogant for a long time, his ambitions have not been extinguished. He knows that Kangxi himself can't afford to offend him, but he can control the prince.
But he didn't know that it was his behavior that sounded the death knell for himself. Everyone knows that Kangxi's achievements are obvious to all, but in his later years he was trapped in the struggle between his sons and could not extricate himself.
For the prince, he put all his efforts into it, but this Suo'etu was looking for death. Kangxi could tolerate his greed, and Kangxi could also treat his corruption as invisible.
But he was ignorant and actually wanted to seize the prince's covet the throne. This was ultimately unbearable for Kangxi. In the end, he took a ruthless move against Soetu, not only killing his descendants, but also starving him to death in the Sect Mansion .
Soetu is not going well, what about Mingzhu? What will happen to him? As a pawn of the emperor, Mingzhu's ending was not very good either.
Originally, his rise to power was to curb Yu Soetu, but after he took control of the power, he became increasingly lost in himself. He not only formed a party for personal gain, but also corruption was corruption.
Fortunately, when Kangxi attacked Taiwan, he always stood firmly behind him. After recapturing Taiwan, he advocated the appointment of Taiwan's surrender.
and later resisting Tsarist Russia, Mingzhu played an important role and made his own contribution to curbing the expansion of Soetu's party members.
So, in Mingzhu's later years, although many people were impeaching him, Kangxi just deposed his identity as a Grand Secretary and said he should keep it as appropriate.
But since then, he never received any reuse and eventually died of illness at home. Compared with Soetu, Mingzhu has a good end.
