Gan Long did not write down a famous sentence through the ages, but wrote a paragraph of thoughts. He learned from the demise of the Ming Dynasty that the actions of emperors are very important for the long-term development of a country.
1. Qianlong followed Kangxi's example and went to worship Zhu Di.
According to historical records, we know that Kangxi often went to worship Zhu Yuanzhang. We should know that Zhu Yuanzhang was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty was extinct. So why did Qianlong do this? In fact, what Qianlong did was entirely for political purposes. You know, after the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, there were many Han people who disobeyed the Qing Dynasty and wanted to restore the rule of the Ming Dynasty. Simply put, many people wanted to fight against the Qing Dynasty and regain their sight.
Kangxi, on the other hand, is very clever, knowing that Zhu Yuanzhang's position is very high in the eyes of Han people. If he wants to maintain the relationship between Manchu and Han people, he should use Zhu Yuanzhang, and the best way is to worship Zhu Yuanzhang's mausoleum, so that Han people can see that the rulers of Qing Dynasty respect Zhu Yuanzhang so much and will certainly follow Zhu Yuanzhang's policies and be good to Han people. Sure enough, when Kangxi worshipped for the first time, many Han people were moved to tears, thus alleviating the rigid relationship between Manchu and Han.
This was greatly beneficial to Kangxi's rule, so Kangxi often went to worship Zhu Yuanzhang. When Qianlong became a Manchu family, Qianlong was lazy and chose to worship Zhu Di instead of going to Jiangnan.
2. Qianlong paid homage to Zhu Di, and wrote a passage.
Qianlong came to the Ming Tombs to pay homage. After he saw all the Ming emperors' tombs except Zhu Di, Qianlong suddenly felt very emotional. He went back to Zhu Di's tomb and wrote a passage. The death of the Ming dynasty was not due to the rogue, but to the absurdity of Shenzong and the tyranny of eunuchs at the time of the apocalypse? And the trend of the world, like a river, can never be blocked again, and the rotten fish can never be recovered? The thief took advantage of it, and the Ming society replied, alas! Who has the world, but I don't know what to be afraid of? ?
translated into vernacular Chinese, Qianlong thought that the Ming Dynasty would perish because the emperors did not do well and did not manage the country with care, which led the eunuchs to control the state affairs, thus damaging the foundation of the country.
