Has Kangxi really visited incognito in history?

Kangxi has no record of traveling incognito. Although Emperor Kangxi may not travel incognito, he is indeed one of the emperors who visited the society most and understood the people's feelings most in the history of China. ?

The admonition of Emperor Sheng Zuren belongs to the category of "saving the Party", which records some imperial edicts of Emperor Kangxi about patrolling and shows the administrative characteristics of Emperor Kangxi. This side of the province is to inspect the four sides. Open the records of the holy father of the Qing Dynasty, and there are many records about Emperor Kangxi's patrol.

I visited Shandong in the east, Shaanxi in the west, the Great Wall in the north, Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the south, and the land of Gyeonggi was visited frequently. The majestic Mount Tai, the famous Confucius House, the majestic Wutai, the vast grassland and the exquisite water town all left the footprints of Emperor Kangxi. However, his patrol is mainly for government affairs. From this perspective, Kangxi's patrol is the embodiment of diligence. ?

Extended data:

In the Qing Dynasty, people often complained that officials were cut off and the emperor's sedan chair was blocked, which was bound to affect the inspection progress and was not conducive to safety. Therefore, it is also forbidden for the military and civilians to be treacherous, eager to express personal anger, and good at reporting at the local level; If there is a false accusation, in addition to the unreasonable accusation, it will be severely punished. From this perspective, Emperor Kangxi would not like traveling incognito. ?

However, Emperor Kangxi's inspection was not without people. When he arrived in Yangzhou, people, men, women and children, were in a mess because of the lax police. After expecting fear, they are in trouble and even in danger of falling. So he asked everyone: "stop in the aisle and kneel down to meet, don't confuse chasing and cause all kinds of troubles." When Emperor Kangxi visited Shandong, the people in the cities he passed through helped the old and took care of the young and were welcomed by the roadside. Emperor Kangxi asked people along the way about their harvest.

I learned that "the years are smooth and the people's livelihood is slightly guaranteed." Generally speaking, the southern tour is mostly by boat, and officials and people gather on both sides to meet drivers. They patrol the roads in the west, and all the officials and people passing through the counties and cities are in high spirits. Emperor Kangxi ordered him to consult the pros and cons of this place. It is said that everyone speaks freely. Emperor Kangxi visited Texas and saw one or two victims drifting along the road. He asked them about their sufferings and expressed concern. ?

Emperor Kangxi claimed to patrol everywhere, so he knew all the customs and feelings like the back of his hand. Pay attention to the change of rice price and the relationship between market supply and demand when patrolling in the south to prevent the price of rice from rising; Concerned about the amount of money, food and fire consumption increased by paying taxes and paying banks all over the country, and opposing officials to increase fire consumption; I learned that Jiangsu and Zhejiang people like to argue and warn to change their fashion;

It is believed that Jiangnan people are extravagant and have no savings at home, while Shanxi businessmen are mostly local businessmen and live frugally, so they are rich and advocate changing customs. In the 42nd year of Kangxi (1703), Emperor Kangxi said to his ministers, "I have traveled all over seven provinces, and Qin Jin has rich folk customs, which is even better than that of Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the 38th year. In the past, the people of Shandong had a very difficult life because of floods and droughts. The people of these two provinces left a deep impression on me. "

This is the impression of people's livelihood that he got from touring places, which is not comparable to the emperor living in a palace. Emperor Kangxi commented that local officials in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shandong and other places, because of his frequent visits, worked hard and were clean and excellent, while officials in Shaanxi and Shaanxi were poor. He also said that he hated corrupt officials, and even more hated Gordan who engaged in separatism and rebellion. Since then, he has clarified the official management, such as the plan to pacify Galdin.
