This is an interesting question. Before answering this question, we need to know what the meaning of rehabilitation is: rehabilitation is a correct revision of past unjust, false and wrong cases and inaccurate understanding and evaluation.
Indeed, in forty-three years, Gan Longping rebelled against some ancestors, including Dourgen, Azig and others. As for the ghost in May and the ghost in September, they just followed the trend, and the Emperor Qianlong showed them mercy, not rehabilitation.
In the forty-three years of Qianlong, the compilation of history books by the National History Museum reached a stage, and it was necessary to locate the imperial clan. When Emperor Qianlong read the ancestral training of A Record of the Qing Dynasty this year, he had the idea of rehabilitating Dourgen and other ancestors.
During this period, many people benefited, including eight elder brothers and nine elder brothers.
On the surface, it seems that Qianlong rehabilitated Dourgen and went easy on Yin Gui and others, but it is not. Ganlong did rehabilitate Dourgen, but not Yin Gui and others. There is a reason for this conclusion:
First, Emperor Qianlong believed that the allegations of Yin Gui and others were true. The imperial edict of forty-three years of Qianlong pointed out:
? The emperor's eight sons and nine sons are so scheming and cheating, and they deserve it. Huang Kao could not bear to be severely punished, but only ordered to delete his genealogy and change his name to show his shame. As far as the minds of these two people are concerned, it is inevitable to secretly covet and steal. This is also the case when the emperor took an examination of Shao Deng Dabao and Yi et al. Guy and his wife have never had a hidden rebellious heart, and there are no obvious signs of rebellion. Therefore, although the imperial examination exposed their crimes clearly, it was still a song that showed the whole. This sentence in A Record of Emperor Gaozong of the Qing Dynasty directly pointed out that Yun Si and Yun Jian deserved their punishment, and that their sin was to form a clique and conspire against each other. For all emperors, the rebellion of courtiers is a gross violation of Tao, but if this charge is established, then Qianlong will not rehabilitate it.
The act of usurping power directly endangers the stability of the throne. If you forgive them knowing that they are rebelling, it is encouraging others to usurp their own throne. In this regard, Qianlong can't rehabilitate them.
Second, the compassion of Qianlong is to show the affection of Qianlong and his son. While explaining that Yi Yin and others sought power and usurped the throne, Gan Long also pointed out that Yi Yin and others did not fully show signs of usurpation: the so-called? There is no hidden rebellion, and there is no obvious rebellion. In other words, although they had the intention of rebellion, they were eliminated by Yongzheng, so they did not cause great disaster.
On the one hand, this sentence shows that there is still room for redemption of their crimes, on the other hand, it also shows that Yongzheng is wise and can control things. Of course, whether this is the case or not is another matter.
The reason why Qianlong went easy on them was to show that Yongzheng was also mindful of brotherhood. In the imperial edict, he directly pointed out that Yongzheng was very remorseful after dealing with Yin Gui and others. In order to fulfill his father's last wish, Qianlong always wanted to reduce their charges. According to Confucius, it remained unchanged for three years, so Qianlong showed no mercy to his uncles in his early days. Now that many years have passed, it's time.
He not only explained Yongzheng's kindness, but also further explained his kindness: if I don't speak, there will be no descendants who dare to speak. ? It directly shows his importance in reversing this matter. It not only fulfilled my father's last wish, but also showed a kind heart in front of the world, killing two birds with one stone.
Third, it can be seen from the handling of Yin Gui and others by Gan Long that he has not been rehabilitated. At first, Yongzheng dealt with Yin Gui and Yin Gui by deleting clan records and renaming them. Qianlong's so-called mercy to Yin Gui and others actually only restored their names and included them in the imperial decree, but did not restore their titles. This alone directly shows that Qianlong did not rehabilitate Yin Gui and others.
The purpose of doing this is mainly to show himself. Even Yongzheng pays attention to family ties, but it does not rule out that he has become kind because of his old age. In addition, on the one hand, you can set an example for your princes, be brothers, be friends and be brothers.
On the other hand, it is also caused by his own personality. At that time, Ganlong was very satisfied with his ruling performance, and his leniency to Yin Gui and others exempted him from the punishment of being beheaded, which showed his kindness and added icing on the cake to win a good reputation during his reign. He imitated Kangxi everywhere, and this behavior naturally did not rule out the possibility of comforting Kangxi's soul in heaven.
