Heavenly reason is nothing more than human feelings, so is the official field, so is the workplace, so is the ancient world, so is the modern, and for a considerable period of time in the future, it should be the same: Confucius holds the heart of a saint, as if wandering in the realm of morality, wandering in the invisible country, relying on heavenly reason, observing human feelings, knowing the truth, knowing the gains and losses.
Contrary to human feelings, Tianli naturally cannot talk about it. At this point, we can refer to the practices of the two university scholars and Liu Yong of the Qianlong Jiaqing and Jiaqing Dynasties of the Qing Dynasty: the death of the Empress Dowager Of Chongqing, the different performances of Liu Yong and Yan, reflecting the two attitudes of professional life; at the funeral of Qianlong's biological mother, he and Liu Yong had very different attitudes, whose approach is more worthy of learning from people in the workplace?
We are talking about university scholars, so we have to leave Ji Yun Ji Xiaolan aside, although he often fights with He Yan in the TV series, but the biggest official position in this gong's life is only a co-sponsor university scholar, who is not qualified to be called Zhongtang, and is not qualified to break his wrist with He Yan - for a long time, Ji Yun is a powerful subordinate of He Yan, and the relationship between the two is very good.
Liu Yong was a high-ranking official for generations, his grandfather Liu Tong was a political envoy in Sichuan, and his father Liu Tongxun was the true prime minister of the Cabinet University, and his family lineage was much more prominent than that of the hereditary third-class Adaha hafan (light car lieutenant) and Yan.
But in the workplace (officialdom), Liu Yong is far less mixed than Hezhen. In the second year of Jiaqing, Liu Yong had a hard time promoting from a co-organizer to a scholar of Tirenge University, but his comment was that he had always refused to do solid work and walked quite lazily. Hereby promoted to this post by no one. ”
The elevation chart of Hezhen does not need to be depicted, and the readers may know better than I do. What we want to talk about today is the performance of The two of them at the funeral of Qianlong's birth mother.
Qianlong's birth mother was the concubine "Zhen Huan" played in the TV series, but the Qianlong Emperor Hongli was the daughter of Yin Chan, the Prince of Heshuoyong, and Ling Zhu, the official of the Sipin Ceremony (at that time, it was not even a side Fujin") who was the fifth son born in the fifty years of Kangxi. The reason why Qianlong ranked fourth was because Princess Qi's Concubine Li's Hongpan died at the age of three without order teeth - Concubine Qi and Yin Chan had three sons and a daughter, but Niu Cobalt Lu (Xi Concubine, Zhen Huan) only had a son with Yin Chan, who is more favored, it is conceivable.
Qianlong's birth mother, Niu Hulu, is also hezhen's "aunt and grandmother", after Yin Chan succeeded to the throne as the Yongzheng Emperor, she was successively awarded the title of Concubine Xi and Concubine Xi Guifei, Yongzheng died qianlong to succeed to the throne, Niu Hulu was honored by her son Hongli as "Empress Chongqing", at this time we can not call her "Concubine Xi", let alone call her "Zhen Huan", she only has one title at this time, that is, Empress Chongqing.
Empress Dowager Chongqing died in the forty-second year of Qianlong, and her son Hongli, who was already over the age of Huajia, was in pain, and in the first few days of filial piety, he did not eat, drink, sleep, sleep, and kneel for a long time.
At this time, the cabinet scholars (please note that there is no big character, not even co-organizers), the Zhinan Study, and the household attendant Liu Yong Liu Chongru thousands of advice, saying nothing more than "the dragon body is important", "the society is important", "the festival mourns and changes", and Qianlong also ignored him.
Qianlong ignored Liu Yong, but Liu Yong refused to give up, and after many days of hard persuasion, Qianlong began to eat -- we should not doubt whether Qianlong could support him for several days without eating or drinking.
What was Hezhen doing at this time? He did not hesitate to kneel behind Qianlong, but only accompanied Qianlong to tears, but did not say a word of relief and advice.
The red wisp on the hat in the TV series has not been taken off, and the readers do not have to worry about it, anyway, we are talking about the official workplace, the director does not understand the rules, we will leave him alone.
According to ancient regulations, filial piety was to cut off the staff for the birth mother for three years (wearing burlap clothes, carrying a stick, and stopping all entertainment activities).
The emperor did nothing (including handling the affairs of the court, concubines, drinking wine and eating meat), which was certainly not possible. In the Ming Dynasty, it was okay for the emperor not to go to the dynasty for decades, and there were cabinet ministers staring at it, and they wished that the emperor would come less to add to the chaos. However, the Qing Dynasty was not good, and the status of the chancellor was even better than that of "slave talents (for example, He Yan could call himself a slave, and Liu Yong Ji Xiaolan did not have this qualification)", and anything could not be done without the approval of the emperor.
Therefore, Liu Yong, the right attendant of the household department, joined forces with a group of ministers and frequently wrote letters, asking the Qianlong Emperor to "take the sun as the month" and to convert each year into nine months, and each month into one day, so that Qianlong shouxiao would be pulled down for twenty-seven days, and during the period of filial piety, he would also normally handle the government.
At this time, what were the Military Aircraft Minister, the Minister in Charge of internal affairs, the Deputy Governor of Manchuria with the Yellow Banner, the Left Attendant of the Household Department and the Right Attendant of the Bureau, and the Zhen and Zhi Zhai? He still ran forward and after with a sad face, but he didn't say a word, never giving any opinion on how many days of filial piety Qianlong wore, anyway, if you wear it, I will wear it, and if you cry, I will cry.
Qianlong finally listened to the opinions of Liu Yong and others, and wore filial piety for twenty-seven days with the sun and the moon, during which he did not delay in handling the government affairs.
From this incident, we can see that Liu Yong has a general understanding of the overall situation, and we can also see that he is the only Qianlong horse who looks at everything and seems to be a courtier.
However, if we think about it from the perspective of heavenly reason and human feelings, we will find that Qianlong and Liu Yong are treated differently by Qianlong, and there is no reason: in Liu Yong's eyes, Qianlong is the emperor, and the emperor should do what the emperor should do; in heyan's eyes, the emperor is the emperor's father, and the emperor's father is right in everything he does--Qianlong is thirty-nine years older than He yan, and he can be the grandfather of Hezhen.
We put liu yong as a representative of the courtiers, and put forward Hezhen as a representative of the slaves, and we did not mean to praise or disparage either side, but we just took these two people as an example to verify the truth of some official workplaces: In the eyes of many people, the emperor is high, but as a natural person, the emperor is lonely. The courtiers consciously distanced themselves from the emperor in accordance with the requirements of the etiquette, and looked like a public official; but he positioned himself as a courtier and a family member (slave).
What things did He Yan do that harmed the country and the people, this article will not discuss, how many people Liu Yong killed in the Qianlong period of writing prison, and let's not mention it for the time being, we want to discuss only one topic today: In the ancient official field and the court, the two professional life attitudes of He Yan and Liu Yong, what are the advantages and disadvantages of each?
