What did Qianlong do with Li Jue after Yong Zhengdi's death?

Speaking of Li Wei, most of what you know about him may come from the film and television drama "An Official in Li Wei". Li Jue is also a veteran, who has experienced three dynasties: Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong. Although his education level is not high, he is a good official with good conduct, so he is deeply loved by the people. When Yong Zhengdi was in office, he took great care of and attached great importance to Li Jue. But after the death of Yong Zhengdi, what will Emperor Qianlong do to Li Jue?

Li Wei has been an official for many years. He is politically clean and compassionate. However, he didn't pass the imperial examination to be an official, but his family spent money to buy him Guo Jianzi's qualification, and later donated money. Li Wei's education level was not high at that time, and he didn't know many Chinese characters. But this does not affect his official career. He was promoted step by step by virtue of his own ability. During the reign of Kangxi, he was just a small doctor. When Yongzheng acceded to the throne, he was appreciated by Yong Zhengdi for his ability to handle affairs. And Li Jue is a man who is not afraid of powerful people. No matter who made a mistake, he should handle it impartially, which also helped Yongzheng settle many powerful forces. Therefore, Yong Zhengdi also favored him. Yong Zhengdi once said of likui jy: "There are endless praises. ..... If I don't have a deep understanding of my intentions and no expectations, Anken will resolutely say it. " It can be seen that the relationship between Yong Zhengdi and Li Yu is extraordinary.

It seems to be a major law in history that "every emperor once courted a courtier". Whenever the North Korean emperor changes, there will be a bloody storm. After Yong Zhengdi's death, it was the Qianlong period. Many new emperors in history will get rid of their former ministers and re-establish their own power. Li Wei was very popular during the Yongzheng period. After Qianlong succeeded to the throne, he did not lose his life, but survived the Qianlong period safely. Although compared with Yong Zhengdi, Emperor Qianlong didn't love Li Wei very much, but he didn't embarrass him or want to get rid of him. Li Wei naturally knew that if he wanted to get the new emperor's favor and save his own life, he had to work harder. So after Qianlong ascended the throne, Li Jue worked very hard.

Li Wei wrote a letter to Emperor Qianlong, in which he wrote, "Sincerely kiss the kitchen and compete with the people of Anzhou for land". After seeing it, Emperor Qianlong immediately sent someone to investigate and learned that what Li Wei said was true. In view of this, Emperor Qianlong thought that Li Jue was honest and honest, and enforced the law impartially, so he rewarded Li Jue with four regiments of dragons and horses to make up for it. Li Jue impeached the corrupt behavior of Zhu Zao, the river chief, to Emperor Qianlong. In addition, his younger brother, Zhu Heng, threatened local officials to intervene in disaster relief. After these stains and spots, it was confirmed that what Li Wei said was true, so he brought Zhu Zao and Zhu Heng to justice. In fact, there are many incidents like this, and Li Wei's ability is also reflected in this incident, so Emperor Qianlong still attached great importance to it. Emperor Qianlong once commented on Li Jue: "That is, Li Jue has the ability to do things in a down-to-earth manner, declares his power to seal the land, pays no attention to it, pays attention to it, and is well-founded." Thus, in the eyes of Emperor Qianlong, Li Wei's ability is recognized.

Li Jue is sympathetic to public opinion in his official career, so he is very loved by the people. After his death, people built a memorial hall for him in memory of Li Wei. According to the previous evaluation of Emperor Qianlong, he should agree with this very much, but when Qianlong visited the ancestral temple for Li Weijian, he was very angry, which made people destroy the ancestral temple and denounced the local people.

These behaviors of Emperor Qianlong showed that in his mind, he simply looked down on Li Wei and praised him only superficially. You know, Li Wei's cultural level is very low. In the eyes of people who like to write poems and draw pictures, Emperor Qianlong may be a clown, but he may look down upon it in his heart. Therefore, when the world commemorates the ancestral temple of Li Weijian, Emperor Qianlong will feel unbalanced, and behind this imbalance is actually a kind of degradation of Li Wei. Even Emperor Qianlong once said that in his eyes, only those who read poetry and know everything are loyal, and those without culture are likely to defect. It is not difficult to see that actually Emperor Qianlong was biased against Li Wei.

Speaking of which, you may think that these are all speculations. But there are also related records in the history books:

"Li Weiyang borrowed the emperor's essay as soon as possible, willful and arrogant, unfair at the beginning of the pure minister. Building a temple in the name is very different! "

This is what Emperor Qianlong said when he saw the temple built for Li Weijian. Although Emperor Qianlong knew in his heart that these were all facts, he would certainly feel very unhappy.

So the ancestral hall was finally demolished. People are all dead, and they are treated like this by Emperor Qianlong. Let's just say there is no friendship in the palace. No matter how well you usually do it, as long as you offend the dragon's face, there will be no good result. The so-called "separation between the monarch and the minister" should be cautious whenever and wherever.
