Xianfeng great wall hotel

On the night of October in the eleventh year of Xianfeng, a minister of the Qing Dynasty was killed. As soon as the news came out, Zeng Guofan said sadly: "This unjust prison is also a self-destructive Great Wall."

The Great Wall mentioned by Zeng Guofan is the Su Shun mentioned in the title. Then, with Zeng's ability, why do you value a murdered criminal so much?

First, because Su Shun is fair. The extreme official corruption in the Qing Dynasty from the late Qianlong period to the Xianfeng period was almost irreversible. Su Shun and Su Shun, the villains in your eyes, severely crack down on corrupt elements and punish dereliction of duty mercilessly (whether a centralized court has vitality and whether the upper level really fights corruption is an extremely important symbol. If we talk about anti-corruption on the surface and do nothing in fact, it is impossible for the people to really support this court.

Let me give you an example here: in eight years, Xianfeng passed the rural examination in Tianfu (Beijing) and found that Luo Mou, a candidate who was admitted to the official list, was extremely fluent in writing. The total number of words in an eight-part essay is only a few hundred words, and his article has misspelled more than 300 words. The grinding officer who examined the paper revealed this to the suggestion, and the suggestion turned to play the emperor. So Xianfeng was furious. He personally read the nonsense article, found out the responsibility and investigated an official. Xianfeng intended to be lenient. At the critical moment, Su Shun stepped forward and fought for it according to law. He believes that the imperial examination is a national system for selecting talents and should be strictly implemented and punished. In the end, the official was beheaded in the food market, which was the highest-ranking official who died in the imperial examination case in history.

In this "Wu Wu examination case", 9 1 officials at all levels were punished, and the official management of the court did it one brace up Without Su Shun's strict investigation, this is absolutely impossible-no wonder Zeng Guofan praised him, even today, I have to admire him.

Second, although Su Shun is a Manchu and a member of Aisingiorro, he is quite kind to the Han people. Zeng Guofan, Zuo, Hu Linyi and Guo Songtao, a group of capable ministers in the late Qing Dynasty, were actually recommended by him (you see, they are all Han Chinese, and they didn't have a chance to come up before).

Moreover, when Zuo was framed by General Yongzhou, Governor Huguang's official documents even jointly impeached Zuo as a "evil curtain" because of his extraordinary courage and talent in Hunan, and Emperor Xianfeng ordered the official documents to be "enforced on the spot once verified". In times of crisis, together with Zeng Guofan and Hu Linyi, they wrote to protect the left. Finally, he asked someone to write down: "One day in Hunan is indispensable, and one day in Hunan is indispensable", and presented it to Emperor Xianfeng-it was because of this that Zuo survived and had a better future (you know, there was only one Qing Dynasty, but Qian Qian had thousands of official documents, and he could die at any time.

Even in foreign relations, only Su Shun dared to throw the Treaty of Ai Hun on the table and angrily denounced the greedy Russians: "This is just a dead letter!" Such courage was lacking not only by other Qing officials, but also by many officials later.

On the deathbed of Emperor Xianfeng, Su Shun was the first to discover the danger of Cixi. He once suggested that Emperor Xianfeng should follow the example of Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty, and get rid of Nora as soon as possible to avoid future troubles. However, Emperor Xianfeng not only failed to take Su Shun's advice, but also inadvertently revealed the news afterwards, which aroused Cixi's extreme hatred for Su Shun.

In other words, at that moment, for Cixi, it was already: with him, there would be no me, and if I wanted to go on stage, he would have to die!

In the end, the last wise man of Aisingiorro family, Xianfeng Emperor, was appointed as the Minister of Government of Zanxiang before his death, and was beheaded at Caishikou at the age of forty-five. The last chance to save the Qing empire is ruined!
