The gold tableware for the banquet is gold tableware, with 32 seats and 4288 pieces. 32 pieces of silver tableware, 4288 pieces. I'm talking about this project. In the house in Little Shenyang, on the wall and in the treasurer's house, we got 32,200 gold coins. In a private cellar in small Shenyang, 2 million taels of silver were stolen and his home was searched. The rented house is 100 1 room half. His surname is Liu Quan. Liu Quan, who was impeached but not impeached, was a servant of the family property, and copied out two hundred and two thousand pieces of silver. Of course, there are other charges. Then Jiaqing announced 20 counts of small Shenyang. What should I do? Many ministers said they would chop it up. Jiaqing thinks that when Kangxi ruled Ao Bai, he didn't kill it. Yongzheng Nian Gengyao committed suicide while receiving treatment. I also want to say that Jiaqing killed small Shenyang, but did not solve the phenomenon of small Shenyang. Small Shenyang can be regarded as a person, a big corrupt official or a phenomenon, representing a social phenomenon. So I call the small Shenyang phenomenon "small Shenyang". What is the small Shenyang phenomenon? It is the product of the emperor's long-term autocracy in his later years. There is one thing here, that is, when Qing Draft was killed in Jiaqing, he said that when he killed Li, he used a royal minion to solve this matter. It happened in the year of the Qing draft, that is, when Jiaqing wanted to kill Xiao Shenyang. So what happened between Dai Zong and Li? Li said he was poor and had a horse at home. When he was young, he was castrated and became a eunuch in the palace. When his horses were fattened, he was sent to the prince's East Palace to raise them. Without education, just in time for the Anshi Rebellion, I advised the Prince to succeed to the throne. At that time, the military and political chaos, Su Zong succeeded to the throne, and Li was promoted to housekeeper. Later, the official to the secretariat and prime minister, a little eunuch with no education. Finally, the three secretaries of the Secretariat were officially unified, which was similar to that of Xiao Shenyang. When the new emperor succeeds to the throne, he will kill this Li. How did this happen? He sent a royal minion and a chivalrous man to Li Fu's country at night and killed him. Cut off your head and throw it somewhere after killing? Throw it into the pigsty, and some people say throw it into the toilet. This generation kept this secret and sent someone to carve a piece of wood, put it on Li and bury him. Killed Li with one hand. There are similarities between small Shenyang and Jiaqing, and we can also realize a truth here. Killing Li is a personal phenomenon. If he kills Lee, it's over. Jiaqing's killing of Shenyang is a personal phenomenon. As a case, there is no extrapolation, no in-depth research and management. I said that Jiaqing had his cleverness in the small Shenyang incident, that is, he was quick and decisive, and killed the small Shenyang, without implicating the nine families or expanding it. This is his cleverness. His mistake was to show that Jiaqing was a mediocre emperor, and he did not carry out relevant reforms in this matter to alleviate the social crisis. Therefore, Jiaqing killed Xiao Shenyang, and the prosperous crisis since Qianlong has not eased, but has intensified. During Jiaqing's 25-year imperial career, social crises broke out one after another. In addition to the small Shenyang incident, Anbalism in the south, Tian Li in the north, the turmoil in the southeast sea, the livelihood of the Eight Banners, the closure of mines, the depletion of the national treasury, the depletion of finance, the inflow of opium, the problem of water transportation and so on. They are all treated as individual cases, and these social contradictions have nothing to do with social crisis. What are the problems and how to proceed? There is no system to deal with and reform, so I say Jiaqing has no overall situation in his mind, no big money in his hand and is practical, so he is not an outstanding politician, nor a reformer, but a mediocre emperor. But as an emperor, Jiaqing also has a good side. Let me give you an example. Emperor Jiaqing summoned Yang, an official of Dali Temple. It is very hot in summer. He opened the curtain and went in. Go in and have a look later.
"Shang" Jiaqing was sweating profusely, shaking his fan and sweating profusely. He knelt down to meet him first. Jiaqing asked him many questions. After chatting for a long time, I saw Jiaqing sweating. He never shakes his fan, never slaps it. What does this question mean? Of course, this shows the self-esteem of Emperor Jiaqing and his respect for his liegeman. You don't need an electric fan on this hot day, and I don't need an electric fan, so Jiaqing did it. The second example is Jiaqing's exemption from the world's money and food. There was a governor in Anhui, and the governor of Anhui reported three million and two thousand pieces of silver. When he saw the three million and two thousand pieces of silver reported by various places, he said that there was too much money and water in it. He ordered all prefectures and counties to cut 40% and re-record. The following reflects that time is too tight, and time is too tight for it. Jiaqing knows about it. Jiaqing said that Jiaqing said eight words. Jiaqing said, "It is my wish to harm others and benefit myself." I'm sorry for the loss above, but the people below have some benefits. This is my original intention, my will. Why do you want to cut 40%? Governor Yao Zutong quickly signed up for a three-million-dollar register and saved three million taels of silver. From these two small things, we can see that Jiaqing still has Confucian benevolent thoughts, so I say that the emperors of the Qing Dynasty did not have bad emperors, stubborn emperors, naughty stubborn emperors, stubborn emperors and tyrants. But there is a brave king, a mediocre man is brave, and Jiaqing is the king of the brave. Let me give you an example. Jiaqing wrote a poem when he thought of the White Lotus Sect. He said this: "When courtiers at home and abroad are wearing purple robes, who wants to share the work with me?" The jade cup drinks thousands of blood, and the silver candle burns human ointment. When tears fall in the sky, people sing loudly and cry bitterly. At ordinary times, people slowly say that you are kind, and it is Ercao who failed your kindness. "In these four sentences, the jade cup drinks thousands of blood, and the officials are very rich. What they drink in their cups is not manna, but the blood of thousands of people. Silver candles burn the essence of the people, singing and dancing brilliantly at night, not candles, but the essence of the people. He also said, "When it rains, people cry loudly. You are an official, singing and dancing there, singing and holding geisha, crying loudly, crying loudly. Judging from these four poems, Jiaqing is kind. "His four sentences are not, that is to say, you usually say that your kindness is heavy, and it is Ercao who failed your kindness. It's you who failed your kindness, so people are having a hard time. I think this poem is quite interesting. As an emperor, it is good to be able to say those four sentences. We can analyze it. On the one hand, this poem shows that Emperor Jiaqing had the idea of benevolent governance. He saw the suffering of the people and the corruption of officials. However, being an emperor is not enough. It's not enough just to look. Jiaqing saw the problem of small Shenyang and corrupt officials, and did not think further. These corrupt officials, these small Shenyang phenomena find reasons from their own emperors and social systems, so Jiaqing killed small Shenyang. Jiaqing dealt with social crises one by one, and at the same time sublimated one by one. By the time of his son's light, the social crisis was even deeper, and he was besieged at home and abroad. British artillery attacked the land of the Qing Empire.
