Kangxi classic four-character idiom

1. The classic story about Emperor Kangxi's southern tour and Cao Jiakang's southwestern tour in the Qing Dynasty pays more attention to the management of officials in the places where they passed, and is called elected and honest officials.

One year, during a southern tour to Gu 'an, Hebei Province, the local people knelt down to guard a local county magistrate. The county magistrate named Yang Gou is a man of backbone.

As a county magistrate, Yang participated in the regulation project of Yongding River. As a rule, river workers should start construction as soon as the autumn flood season is over. This year, Huang postponed the construction period and worked hard in winter.

The people waded in winter, and it was extremely cold. Yang Lou pitied the people and promised to wait until the sun came out and it was warm.

Huang, who was patrolling the river, found that someone was late and ordered whipping. Yang advised him not to listen. In a rage, he took the horse of the river official and said, You are still fighting in thick fur on such a cold day, but you insist that these barefoot people come to work before dawn.

Come on, if you can go, so can the people. Huang was very angry and prepared to impeach Yang Lou in the last chapter. Fortunately, the governor reconciled and didn't make a mountain out of a molehill.

And Yang Guo has done a lot of caring for the people, and his reputation has spread. At this time of Kangxi's southern tour, it happened that Yang Lou was transferred to Wanping, and the people knelt down to meet him, also to retain Yang Lou.

Kangxi listened to the demands of the people and said loudly, "How about I choose another good official for you?" At this time, a woman on the roadside responded loudly: "Then why don't you choose another good official for Wan Ping?" Kangxi laughed, thinking that this woman was telling the truth, and ordered Yang Gou to eat the salary of the magistrate and still be the magistrate of Gu 'an. Zhang Boxing was transferred from Jining, Shandong Province, to Jiangning as a provincial judge for his meritorious service in river management. When Kangxi learned of his deeds during his southern tour, he repeatedly asked local officials and praised him with one voice.

Emperor Kangxi was overjoyed and called him the first upright official in Jiangnan: "If you don't want to recommend him, I will recommend him. He will be a good official in the future, and the whole world will regard me as a wise king.

If I take bribes and bend the law, everyone will laugh at me for not knowing people. "Kangxi in jiangnan, promoted Jaco to fujian governor. Later, his official voice was excellent, and critics regarded Emperor Kangxi as a wise man.

On the occasion of the southern tour, there are many things to respect the old and love the young, and there are countless inscriptions and plaques. In the thirty-eighth year of Kangxi, he was stationed in Jiangning Weaving Cao.

This Cao Yin is the grandfather of Cao Xueqin, the author of A Dream of Red Mansions, according to the research of modern China Dream of Red Mansions. When Kangxi came to power, he was "a benefactor of one country, a pro-minister, and a minister of the world." Cao Yin invited his mother to see Kangxi. Kangxi was overjoyed and said, "This is an old man in my family." The reward is very generous, and the plaque of the imperial book "Xuanruitang" is a rare reward.

There are also many rewards for older ministers. Chen Tingjing, an old minister, was granted a one-day tour of the West Lake, so when he saw the cars in the palace as soon as possible, he didn't have to avoid the road. The accompanying ministers and local officials accepted royal food and gave special rewards to the elderly, such as the old minister Luo Song, who gave tofu and ordered the chef to teach him how to make it.

Luo Song asked Kangxi to inscribe a plaque for his own garden. Kangxi said that your garden is called "Xibei", which is not easy to write. Song said that many experts were invited to write this word, but none of them worked, so I had to ask the emperor to give it. Ministers were in high spirits when they saw Kangxi, and asked him to write a plaque for himself. Song seniority, said to write to my home about age first.

Kangxi wrote a plaque on the spot, then took it back, rewritten it and changed it back. There were many such gifts and inscriptions during the six southern expeditions. For example, Zhang Ying, a scholar of Zhishi, greeted the driver in Huainan and was given inscriptions such as "Dushutang" and "Qian Yi Hall".

Not only for veteran ministers, but also for ordinary old people, there will be more rewards than ordinary officials. For example, on the sixth southern tour in the forty-sixth year of Kangxi, the monk Huqiu of Shenen Temple was given two kilograms of ginseng, cantaloupe, pine nuts, hazelnuts, frequent fruits and grapes 12 plates, and explained that "I think the monk is old". Emperor Qianlong imitated his grandfather Kangxi everywhere and treated the elderly well. For example, in the forty-five years of Qianlong, Guo Zhongyue, a centenarian juren in Fujian, was awarded as a scholar, and there were also old Confucian scholar Chen Yingteng and other imperial books, satin horses and purses.

As for inscriptions, inscriptions, etc. , it is so Kang Xi. Among the calligraphy of the Qing emperors left in various places today, the characters of Qianlong and Kangxi are the most, which is not unrelated to the inscriptions everywhere during the southern tour.

Although Jian Kang and Ganjian are known as prosperous times, the land and grain along the way are specially exempted in every southern tour, but excessive extravagance and waste still have an impact on the local economy and people's production and life. During Kangxi's third southern tour in the thirty-eighth year, "pavilions, corridors and lights were built everywhere, which was extremely magnificent" and "Dojo for worship was set up in famous temples in mountain cities", which was "more than ten times" compared with the first southern tour.

Since then, every time Kang and Gan visited the south, the supply of materials has become more and more luxurious and more and more. According to the system, before going out to patrol, ministers should be sent to lead the school, survey the roads along the way, stay in place, repair roads and bridges, etc. These distribution schools leaving Beijing "arbitrarily levy cables" along the way. If they are not satisfied, they destroy people's graves in the name of road construction, and local officials and people are afraid to speak.

During the southern tour of Qianlong, the supply in various places became more and more luxurious, and local officials, gentry and businessmen enjoyed Dibo at the expense of manpower and material resources. During the fifth southern tour in the forty-five years of Qianlong (1780), Zhenjiang merchants made large peaches with bright colors. When the emperor's ship approached, suddenly fireworks burst, shining in the sky, the giant peach cracked, and hundreds of people in the world staged a new play of "Shoushan Fuhai".

Salt merchants in different areas of Huaihe River competed for each other and showed their magical powers. Some merchants hired dozens of people to write the script "The Legend of the Leifeng Pagoda" in a very short time. They were afraid that the actress would not remember it for a while, so they applied the old songs and sang them when Ganlong arrived. Sometimes the stage is set between the two ships in front of the imperial ship, singing while walking.

Some people heard that Qianlong likes to talk about Zen with people, and there are not many monks who know Zen in Buddhist temples all over the country, so they pulled some literati to shave their heads to make up the number, and agreed that if they got the favor of the emperor, they would always become a monk and reward them with two thousand pieces of silver, otherwise they would be rewarded with thousands of dollars in the future. For a time, scholars who had a little knowledge of Zen were not poor.

When I was on my southern tour, besides spending billions of dollars, the security was very strict, and there were also things that ignored human life. When talking about the appellation of the Qing Dynasty, it was mentioned that Gan Long was called "the emperor's master" during his southern tour, and the guards wanted to arrest people. If it wasn't for Yin Jishan's correct answer, it almost led to a prison case.

However, when Ganlong arrived in Yangzhou, there was still an incident in which the guards shot and killed the locals. This year, the imperial ship crossed Yangzhou, and there was a woman in the shops on both sides of the canal.
