Yongzheng asked: What did you do that night? Minister: Play mahjong! So I escaped being killed.

Yong Zhengdi is the emperor with the least sense of existence in the prosperous period of Kanggan. During the Qing Dynasty, two outstanding emperors were covered with the aura of Yongzheng. Emperor Kangxi and Emperor Qianlong were excellent enough, but Yong Zhengdi's ability was not bad, otherwise Kangxi would not inherit him. After Jiuzi took the throne, Yong Zhengdi succeeded to the throne and became the fifth emperor of the Qing Dynasty.

I have to say that Yong Zhengdi was the most diligent emperor in the Qing Dynasty. Compared with other emperors, Yongzheng was much more diligent. However, in Yong Zhengdi's time, the court officials at that time were terrible. During the Yongzheng period, the guillotine was invented to monitor the officials of the Qing Dynasty. Nothing escapes Yong Zhengdi's eyes.

Under such circumstances, the officials of the Qing dynasty were in danger, and then Yongzheng passed the selection of supervisory officials, and then tested the ability of officials. It is undeniable that Yongzheng monitored officials to a great extent, which was beyond the reach of other emperors in the Qing Dynasty. Besides the guillotine, Yongzheng also invented something.

This is a secret fold. Before Yong Zhengdi, secret folding almost didn't exist. Even if it exists, it is rarely used. In the period of Yong Zhengdi, secret folding became a means of monitoring officials in Yongzheng. In the ancient feudal dynasty, the imperial examination was one of the ways for scholars to enter the official career, and the Qing Dynasty was no exception. The imperial examination once selected talents for the Qing Dynasty.

Because the Qing Dynasty was founded by Manchu, Han officials were suppressed in this dynasty, but no matter how Manchu suppressed it, the names of Han officials remained in history. Such as Fan Wencheng, Wu Sangui, Zhang and so on. At that time, Zhang was a university student in Baohe Hall, and later became a military minister in charge of military power in Qing Dynasty.

Such a Chinese minister is enough to make people fear, but there is a guillotine and a secret fold, and there must be a surveillance sheet. If Zhang is unfaithful, he will definitely strike first. Zhang's ending is rather bleak. After Yong Zhengdi's death, Qianlong succeeded to the throne, and Zhang was suspected at this time.

During the Yongzheng period, Zhang was not widely suspected, but his official position was still there. During the Qianlong period, due to the suspicion of Emperor Qianlong, Zhang finally returned to his hometown to be an official. In addition to this man, there were many Han officials in Yongzheng period, who all entered the official position through the imperial examination.

Wang Yunjin is one of them. After passing the imperial examination, Wang Yunjin became an official of Yongzheng Dynasty. During the reign of Kangxi, Wang Yunjin passed the imperial examination and became an official. In the forty-five years of Kangxi, Wang Yunjin became the top scholar. At this time, he worked as an editor in imperial academy, in charge of national history. That is, what later generations called a historian, this position is his strength for Wang Yunjin.

For future generations, the name Wang Yunjin must be strange. But in unofficial history, Wang Yunjin is a powerful figure, because he answered a question from Yong Zhengdi and narrowly escaped a fatal disaster. Zhao Yi's Miscellanies under the Roof recorded such a thing. However, this matter is well-known in unofficial history.

After the morning shift on the first day of the New Year, Wang Yunjin went home. Since he became an official of the imperial court, Wang Yunjin's life is still very moist. After all, the title of number one scholar didn't come for nothing. Wang Yun Kim must have real skills. Later, Wang Yunjin began to play mahjong with his family at home, but when he was looking for mahjong, the problem appeared.

The mahjong at home is missing a card, which makes Wang Yunjin unforgettable. There were no such mahjong tiles in the Qing Dynasty. In ancient times when productivity was low, mahjong tiles became a luxury. Without mahjong tiles, Wang Yunjin is very disappointed, and the cards are not complete, so he will definitely not be able to play.

The next day, Wang Yunjin went to the court and everyone talked to each other. Later, after the imperial court, Yongzheng stopped Wang Yunjin. After the meeting, Yongzheng suddenly asked what to do after work on New Year's Day. Wang Yunjin said at the time that he and his friends went to play mahjong. After Yongzheng listened, he took out a mahjong card from his sleeve and said, this can be returned to you, and you can go back to play.

It can be said that Wang Yunjin's face to Yong Zhengdi is only a simple test. At the same time, it also proves that Wang Yunjin's family has Yong Zhengdi's vision. If Wang Yunjin doesn't answer truthfully, if he is found lying, he may be in great trouble immediately and even lead to death. During the Yongzheng period, the surveillance of officials was really great. This practice of Yongzheng made many officials at that time feel insecure.
