Over the years, with the popularity of Qing Palace dramas, it has also given everyone a certain understanding of court life and the history of the Qing Dynasty. There are also some very familiar names in the play, and they all really exist in history.
In fact, many Qing Palace dramas that are screenplayed according to historical materials are still worth watching, which can make us more intuitive to understand historical figures. In the history of the Qing Dynasty,
There are too many famous civil and military officials, and almost every period there are some people worth paying attention to.
For example, the great corrupt official He Yan in the Qianlong period, the great general Ah Gui, the university scholar Liu Yong, and the national hero Fu Kang'an were very famous figures in this period. They are officials in the same dynasty, and their experiences and endings are different, so which of the four of them has the highest status?
He Yan and Ah Gui
Mention of Hezhen everyone is not unfamiliar, before the "Iron Tooth Copper Tooth Ji Xiaolan" hit, played by Teacher Wang Gang and Entering the audience's vision with a cute and humorous image, so is the real Hezhen in history like this?
According to historical records, He yan is a veritable handsome man, but people do not have a skin bag empty.
Rather, it is all-rounder, shrewd and capable.
Although he once lost his name in the imperial examination, he still did not delay his right and left hands in becoming emperor.
In the 45th year of Qianlong, He Yan was ordered to investigate and deal with Li Shiyao's embezzlement and private case, and gradually came to prominence and was appreciated by Qianlong. Since then, Hezhen has also been on the same path,
He rose from a pawn in front of the imperial court to a cabinet minister and a scholar of The Mandarin University.
The smoothness of he yanshi's journey also made him begin to flutter, and he could not resist the temptation of the wind of bribery, and later his desire directly swelled to the point of insatiable greed.
He also became the number one corrupt official in the Qing Dynasty.
Throughout his life, he was favored by Qianlong, and in his middle age he was also crowned as a first-class loyal Duke. Not only that, Qianlong also married his tenth princess to his eldest son Fengsheng Yinde, and he also became a relative of the emperor and a relative of the state, and he was a very popular subject in the court.
So what is the situation of his other colleague, Ah Gui? Ah Gui was a famous general in the Qianlong period, he was originally a Zhenglan Banner man, and later because of his outstanding military merits, he was raised by Qianlong as the Zhengbai Banner, and his title was also greatly promoted.
Ah Gui is stationed in the frontier areas all year round,
He participated in the Battle of Dajinchuan and Xiaojinchuan, and also quelled the rebellion of the Dzungars of Xinjiang and Zhuo,
Later, it was said that the beautiful fragrant concubines offered in Xinjiang made the war end.
Subsequently, Ah Gui was stationed in the Ili region of Xinjiang, and also put forward many good suggestions for carrying out agriculture in Xinjiang and improving people's livelihood, and was also commended by Qianlong.
According to historical records, because of Ah Gui's suggestion, the people of Xinjiang achieved a bumper harvest that year. Ili, Xinjiang, which was once desolate, has become a fertile field.
Ah Gui has distinguished himself in his military career, and his prestige in the military is also very high. In many times to pacify the chaos of war, he has the greatest credit,
Qianlong had hung his portrait four times in the Purple Light Pavilion and ranked in the top four,
In addition to him, he also had the honor of Highlander.
In any dynasty, military generals will be more appealing than civilian officials. Although Hezhen had a high status in the DPRK, Ah Gui was not a problem.
And for the big corrupt officials and Yan, Ah Gui actually can't look at the eyes,
I felt that he was useless except to sneak around and pat the horse.
Liu Yong and Fu Kang'an
If Ah Gui and He Yan did not communicate much in the court, then the feelings between him and Fu Kang'an were very deep. Fu Kang'an is the third son of the university scholar Fu Heng, and his brother Fu Long'an is the prototype of Er Kang in "Huan Zhu Ge Ge".
Fu Kang'an was brilliant from an early age and was deeply liked by Qianlong, so he was taken to the palace by Qianlong from an early age to receive education with the princes and princesses, and Qianlong treated him like his own son. When he became an adult, he was given the title of Imperial Guard and walked at the Qianqing Gate.
In the 38th year of Qianlong, When Ah Gui wanted to attack the Garla Mountains, Qianlong sent Fu Kang'an to the front line to provide support.
With only 800 men, he will destroy many enemy bunkers.
He was praised and praised by Qianlong, who praised him for his "mighty army and thief's guts."
Subsequently, Fu Kang'an participated in the war many times, and was named a cabinet minister by Qianlong, and was awarded the title of "Jiayong Batulu". After pacifying the Great and Small Jinchuan, Qianlong hung the portrait of Fu Kang'an into the Purple Light Pavilion, ranking among the fifty heroes.
He was also rewarded with a twinkle in his eye and the ability to ride a horse inside the Forbidden City. These gifts can be described as extremely honorable, and it can also be seen that Qianlong loves FuKang'an.
Soon after, Fu Kang'an was made the governor of Yungui and became a feudal official of the military and government. Here, Fukang'an also successfully suppressed bandits many times and pacified one side.
In the 51st year of Qianlong, the Lin Shuangwen Uprising broke out in Taiwan in response to the call of the Heaven and Earth Society. The local governor, Changqing, was ineffective in suppressing him, and Qianlong immediately summoned Fu Kang'an to send troops from Yungui to support.
Later, FuKang'an designed to capture Lin Shuangwen and suppress the rebellious peasant rebel army.
At this point, Fu Kang'an's statue in the Purple Light Pavilion rose to the top 20, and he was subsequently transferred to the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang. In the construction of military merit, Fu Kang'an has great talent, and from the family relationship, he is also the nephew of the Qianlong Empress, and his identity can really be described as extremely rich.
Another famous qing courtier may not be so lucky. Liu Yong's family is a well-known local family, the elders of the family have been officials in the dprk for several generations, he also received a good education from an early age, and he entered the high school at a young age.
He has held positions such as prefect, scholar, cabinet scholar, and prince shaobao.
He was a clean and honest official all his life, and was known as the "Bao Qingtian" of the Qing Dynasty.
His character is very different from that of Hezhen.
However, compared with Hezhen, Liu Yong's career path was not very smooth. In his early years, he was demoted for the crime of negligence, and later demoted by his father.
Although he was promoted and reused by Qianlong again soon after, his official position never went up. Later, after accumulating political achievements, the official worshiped the cabinet bachelor, assisted and revised the "Four Libraries complete book",
However, he was rebuked for disagreeing with Qianlong.
But Liu Yong's reputation among the people is excellent, not only because he is a clean and honest official, but also because he always thinks about the people. Although his career was not smooth, it did not erase his position in the hearts of the masses.
Who has the highest status
All four of them were very famous people during the Qianlong period, some of them became famous because of corruption and bribery, some because of their military merits, and some because of their honesty and love for the people. The four of them have also appeared in many Qing Palace dramas many times.
So if someone asks which of the four has the highest status?
That must be the highest of Fu Kang'an, followed by Ah Gui, down to He Yan and Liu Yong.
Judging from the experience of the four people, Fu Kang'an and Ah Gui are both famous generals, and although the achievements of the two are different, they have won the honor of the Statue of the Purple Light Pavilion. Although Ah Gui is in the top four, Fukang An can only rank in the top 20,
However, because of his relationship with Qianlong, Fukang'an was in a better position.
Compared with He yan, although Ah Gui was in a high position of power, he was not as good as Ah Gui's achievements, and just entering the Purple Light Pavilion was a hanging of He Yan, so he could only rank behind Ah Gui.
Why is Liu Yong the last? In terms of Liu Yong's achievements and his position in the DPRK, he can only rank last.
Although he was a corrupt official, he also did many good things to benefit the country and the people during his tenure as an official, but later people only remembered his greedy side. If you look at it from the aspect of being honest and loving the people, He Yan is not as good as Liu Yong.
So the interesting thing about history is,
Everyone stands from a different perspective, so the problems seen are different,
Including our interpretation of historical figures. This is the author's interpretation, and perhaps all readers will have their own answers in their hearts, so what is your answer?
