The short video shows the ancient times, and the emperors cried with envy!

Chapter 782 Qianlong vs Jiajing! Who is the most powerful in political tactics? Li Longji taunted: Can you be as good as me?!
What’s even more interesting is that he was able to discuss his funeral arrangements with the prince in advance.

What kind of strategic planning is this?
It not only cleared the political obstacles for the new monarch, but also recovered the wealth of the world.

This strategy of killing two birds with one stone is truly amazing.

When Heshen was enjoying great success in the court, how could he have thought that he was just a fat pig nurtured by others?
……

Ming Dynasty plane.

In the great hall of the Zhongdu Jinling in the afternoon, the sunlight shines through the carved wooden windows, casting mottled shadows on the ground.

Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting at his desk reviewing memorials, and his eldest son Zhu Biao stood respectfully beside him.

"It's been twenty years since the feudal system was established and the bureaucracy has been rectified, but it's still impossible to prevent it!"

Zhu Yuanzhang put down the bamboo slips in his hand and sighed softly.

Zhu Biao saw that his father looked worried and asked softly, "Why is your father sighing?"

"After looking at the sky curtain, this Heshen really makes me feel uneasy!"

Zhu Yuanzhang pointed at the sky and said, "During the reign of Emperor Qianlong, this man was extremely powerful and wealthy. Although he was executed and his property was confiscated in the end, it is amazing that he was able to run the government for 30 years and accumulate such a huge fortune."

Zhu Biao bowed slightly and said, "I think that although Heshen is greedy, he must have some extraordinary qualities to have been trusted by Emperor Qianlong for sixty years."

"Exactly!"

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and walked to the window: "This man can hold the power in the Military Affairs Office, which shows that he is indeed capable.

However, how great would it be if our descendants of the Zhu family could have someone as capable as Qianlong?"

From the previous sky content.

Zhu Yuanzhang also knew a lot about the ending of the Ming Dynasty.

Although I can finally accept it.

But I am also quite helpless about this.

Ultimately, it is because those in power do not value and use people.

If everyone was like Qianlong, why would there be any worries about the stability of the country? !

Zhu Biao was stunned when he heard this: "What do you mean, father?"

"Biao'er."

Zhu Yuanzhang turned and looked at his son with a deep gaze: "When I was conquering the world, I was surrounded by countless brave generals and capable people.

But I am always worried that our descendants will become useless people. "

There was silence in the hall for a moment, and Zhu Biao seemed to be thinking about something.

……

Ming Dynasty plane.

In the afternoon in the Western Garden, Emperor Jiajing was strolling on a secluded path.

He was wearing a plain casual dress and was accompanied only by an old eunuch.

After reading Heshen's story, Jiajing shook his head slightly, with a half-smile on his face.

This Qianlong really knows how to have fun!

Raise a dog, let it eat until it is fat, then kill it and share its food.

Is this method worth boasting about?

He stopped and looked at the rockery in the distance.

During the years he was in power, he never got close to his ministers, nor did he deliberately cultivate his confidants.

Those ministers were trembling with fear and didn't even dare to get within three feet of him.

Instead, I feel peaceful and at ease, and have fewer worries.

Qianlong's behavior seemed wise, but in fact it only added to his troubles.

Why cultivate a powerful official, then spend so much effort to check and balance him, and then eliminate him in the end?
It would be better not to give them the opportunity to make it big from the beginning.

Thinking of this, Jiajing curled his lips.

He had always been a loner, and even too lazy to attend court meetings, he spent all day in the West Garden practicing Taoism and refining elixirs. Even if the court officials wanted to curry favor with him, they couldn't find a way, so naturally there would be no popular person like Heshen.

Although Qianlong looked majestic on the surface, he was actually just playing power games.

When it comes to the ability to control ministers, it is easier to just ignore them like I do.

The sunlight shone obliquely on Jiajing's face. He squinted his eyes and smiled without saying a word.

That is to say, you see things clearly and live life wisely.

Cultivate Taoism and cultivate your character, and live freely and at ease, this is the true way of an emperor!
[Speaking of wise rulers in Chinese history, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, Li Longji, and Emperor Qianlong can be considered representative figures. ]

[But the endings of these two emperors were very different. Li Longji indulged in pleasure in his later years and was finally forced to abdicate. ]

[Although Qianlong also enjoyed life, he always kept a clear mind in politics.]

[Li Longji had Yang Guifei, and Qianlong also had Ling Fei, but Qianlong never let the harem interfere in government affairs. ]

[Li Longji favored An Lushan, which led to the An-Shi Rebellion. Although Qianlong also favored Heshen, he had already made plans to deal with him before his death.]

[This is the biggest difference between the two emperors: one indulges in the pleasures of life, while the other always maintains a keen sense of politics.]

[Speaking of the emperors who loved to show off the most during the Ming and Qing dynasties, Jiajing and Qianlong are definitely in the top three. ]

[Emperor Jiajing did not follow the rules from the moment he ascended the throne. He first initiated the "Great Ceremony Debate" which almost turned the court upside down.]

[When Qianlong was young, he traveled around the country and showed off everywhere, and only stayed in the capital for a few months a year.]

[But when it comes to their attitudes towards handling state affairs, these two are poles apart. ]

[Emperor Jiajing hid in the Western Garden to make elixirs. He didn't care about the chaos in the court. It was difficult for ministers to even see him.]

【Qianlong was busy balancing court officials every day, suppressing one today and promoting another tomorrow.】

[Jiajing's attitude towards powerful officials was simple: he simply didn't want to use them. He would rather let Yan Song clean up the mess while he continued to cultivate himself comfortably.]

[Interestingly, both of them lived very long lives. Jiajing lived to be 63 years old, and Qianlong lived to be 89 years old.]

[However, although he himself was not in charge of affairs during the Jiajing period, the country was relatively peaceful and there were no major disturbances. ]

[But both of them have one thing in common: they feel extremely good about themselves.]

【Qianlong reigned for 60 years and was known as the "Ten Perfect Old Man". This title was not given for nothing.】

[He was neither blinded by beauty like Li Longji, nor too upright like Jiaqing.]

【Perhaps this is why historians say Qianlong was a political machine, because he could always find a balance in various situations.】

[However, it was this kind of machine-like way of governing that allowed the Qing Dynasty to reach its peak during his reign.]

……

Ming Dynasty plane.

After reading it, Emperor Jiajing expressed his dissatisfaction!
"This sky curtain is all bullshit!"

What do these people know?
I am the true God who has descended to earth. How can those ordinary people understand this?
What does it mean to not play by the rules? It's obvious that they don't understand the way of heaven!
Is that guy who is busy playing power games all day worthy of being compared with me?

I am pursuing the path to immortality and comprehending the mysteries of nature. I am not like him who is obsessed with worldly affairs all day long!
……

Han Dynasty plane.

Inside the Jinluan Hall.

After seeing what was written on the sky curtain, Emperor Wu of Han put down the bamboo slips in his hand and couldn't help laughing towards the sky.

Whether it is practicing Taoism or playing power politics, these are all minor ways.

The prosperous era that I created back then was truly a grand achievement!
Is this skill worth showing off?

In those days, I ordered Wei Qing and Huo Qubing to lead troops out of the border, inflicting defeat on the Huns and making them terrified, and expanding the territory by tens of thousands of miles. This is what I call courage!

Speaking of powerful ministers, people like Dong Zhongshu and Gongsun Hong are truly capable ministers.

How many generations have these systems of governing the country with Confucianism, establishing Imperial College, and selecting talents continued?
The emperors of later generations couldn't even establish a decent system.

What does it matter if they live longer?
Although I also seek immortality and ask for the secret of longevity, so that the Han Dynasty can prosper forever.

What about them? They are just afraid of death!
