Emperor's "Journey" Why did Yong Zhengdi seldom cruise after he ascended the throne?

Introduction: Traveling around mountains and waters should be something everyone likes to do, and the emperor is no exception. He always finds some reasons to give himself a holiday on the grounds of traveling incognito and visiting people's feelings. However, Yongzheng did not do so. He loves to play, but when he became king, he reduced the number of trips. Why?

Yong Zhengdi saw the disadvantages caused by Emperor Kangxi's frequent inspections, which he "made great efforts" to change. Worried about the negative effects of his tour, including the large expenditure of the tour itself, is an important or even fundamental reason why Yong Zhengdi doesn't go on tour.

Wuzhi Camellia oleifera is a famous traditional flavor food in Henan province, and there are many words on the outer packaging to introduce the history of Camellia oleifera. I saw one of them write: In the Qing Dynasty, Yong Zhengdi went to Wuzhi to inspect dangerous workers along the Yellow River, and the magistrate Wu Shilu entertained them with Wuzhi camellia. Yongzheng was overjoyed when he ate, and praised "Five-finger Camellia is as smooth as a cake, and the delicacies of mountains and seas are hard to compare", and he advocated opening an oil tea shop with great fanfare, making Five-finger Camellia famous far and near.

The origin of "travel"

When Yong Zhengdi was a prince, he did go out with his father, Emperor Kangxi, many times, including the southern tour of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the five stops on the westward journey, the Great Wall, the Shengjing Zuling and so on. After he acceded to the throne, he went to the Qing Dongling for burial and memorial to Emperor Kangxi. During his thirteen years in office, he only lived in and around Beijing, mainly in the Forbidden City and Yuanmingyuan, in sharp contrast to his father Kangxi and his son's frequent visits.

Yong Zhengdi has never been to Henan or Qufu in his life. But the above two stories of Yongzheng's "outing" are not all nonsense. Wu Shi Lu has a history, and the correct writing is Wu Shi Lu. According to Yongzheng's Henan Tongzhi, he was from Huguang Jiangxia. In the first year of Yongzheng, he served as the magistrate of Wuzhi County, and in the second year he was transferred to the magistrate of Songxian County.

Wuzhi is the intersection of the Yellow River and Qinshui. In the last years of Kangxi, the river flooded many times. In the first year of Yongzheng, the Yellow River flooded again, and nearby counties and counties were affected in large areas. So Ji Zengjun, the deputy commander-in-chief, was stationed in Wuzhi, and the Longwang Temple was built in Wuzhi, named Jia. He also made a special eulogy and published it on a bronze statue. In a word, Yong Zhengdi attaches great importance to Wu Zhi's river works.

Yong Zhengdi visited Qufu for a reason. On June 9th, the second year of Yongzheng, Dacheng Hall of Confucius Temple in Qufu was burned by lightning, and Yong Zhengdi was greatly shocked. In his imperial edict, he said: Confucius is a model through the ages, so he teaches people all over the world to make it perfect and grow with heaven and earth. Since I came to the palace, I have attached great importance to this book to express my gratitude. Today, the temple in Quirrell suffered a disaster. Am I not sincere enough to respect the teacher?

To this end, he personally went to the Confucius Temple in the capital to pay homage. On June 13, officials from the Ministry of Life and Industry of Yong Zhengdi discussed the reconstruction with the Shandong Governor, with a view to "standardizing the repair and restoring the original appearance of the temple". At the same time, I promised that "I will pay tribute on the day of success." Yong Zhengdi attached great importance to the restoration of Dacheng Hall of Confucius Temple in Qufu, and the central government allocated special funds. In the winter of the seventh year of Yongzheng, a minister said for the last time that two days before the beams of Dacheng Hall were erected, Qufu was celebrating the clouds. Yong Zhengdi was very happy about this and felt that his "sincere gratitude" touched God and his teacher.

In October of the eighth year of Yongzheng, the restoration project of Dacheng Hall was completed. However, Yong Zhengdi did not honor his promise, but ordered the fifth son of the emperor to attend the completion ceremony of Qufu.

If you keep your promise, you will be in trouble together.

Whether Yong Zhengdi acceded to the throne legally or not, at the beginning of his rule, the domestic situation was really grim. In ...

National armament is very important and cannot be abandoned in one day. I'm not going, but I'm not as good as the imperial examination, and I know it. Gangsters close to my brothers, such as Aquinas and Seth Black, arrogate evil plans, make waves in trouble and support troops with ulterior motives. Really take precautions, it is inconvenient to stay away from the border jam. Similarly, it is impossible for him to go to Wuzhi, Henan Province to visit the river workers, enjoy camellia oleifera and compose two jingles at the beginning of his succession.

By October of the eighth year of Yongzheng, Yong Zhengdi's ruling situation was very stable, and he promised to go to Qufu. Why did he break his word again? This should have a lot to do with his physical condition these days. Since the winter of the seventh year of Yongzheng, Yong Zhengdi has been seriously ill. In September, 1988, he even told Minister Zhang about the secret succession, which was a confession, indicating that his condition was quite sinister. It is unrealistic for him to drag his sick body to Qufu a month later.

The above explains why Yong Zhengdi can't go to Wuzhi and Qufu, but he still can't answer: During the thirteenth year of Yongzheng, why didn't he travel like Emperor Kangxi? After all, he is stable and healthy. In the third year of Yongzheng, General Galby of Shengjing arrived, and Yong Zhengdi told him that he would go to Shengjing for condolences in the coming year. On April 20, 2004, Galby said for the last time that Shengjing was blessed with a beautiful place, and he hoped that the emperor would make a fortune in the mausoleum. Yong Zhengdi's Zhu Pi is: "The imperial edict is pending."

During this period, Nian Gengyao, once a powerful man, committed suicide and Longge was suppressed. At this time, his estranged brother was convicted of a felony, and Yong Zhengdi's rule became more and more stable. However, he is still hesitant to go to Shengjing. As a result, I didn't go this time, and I didn't go later.

It's not that Yongzheng doesn't want to go, but that he really doesn't have time. Being an emperor is not that easy. You should not only care about the development trend of the country, but also interact with various regions. The emperor is a man eager to learn how to divide himself to cope with these activities.
