The young man came home in his clothes.

Friends who have seen "Walking on Thin Ice" or "Palace Lock Heart Jade" should know something about "Nine sons seize the office".

Yong Zhengdi, the fifth monarch of the Qing Dynasty, was able to ascend to the throne for no justifiable reason. But after a period of bloodshed, he ascended the throne with his brother.

In ancient times, after Ying Zheng unified the Qin Dynasty, the struggle for the throne became an inevitable part of regime change. And Yongzheng's peanuts naturally did not escape. In order to consolidate his own foundation, Yongzheng sent his eighth brother to the northwest and banned his fourteenth brother from the capital.

No matter how much praise Yongzheng won during his reign, no matter how much preparation he made to continue the inheritance of the Qing Dynasty, the stain of Jiuzi's winning the position could not be erased.

Shortly after Yongzheng ascended the throne, a minister bluntly suggested that Yongzheng move closer to his brother and withdraw his troops in the northwest. As the old saying goes, "A companion is like a tiger". The minister must have taken a risk by giving such a warning. He was only a small civil servant at that time.

Sure enough, some people think that the minister's suggestion is groundless and insinuates that Yongzheng can't sympathize with his brother. Fortunately, Zhu Shi, the assistant minister at that time, put in a good word for the outspoken minister, which made him get away with it.

So does the minister really have second thoughts?

The minister named Sun Jiagan was a famous minister in the Qing Dynasty and a veteran of the Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong Dynasties.

After the above incident, even Yongzheng said that he admired his courage and appointed him as the secretary of imperial academy.

Although Sun Jiagan was born in a poor family when he was a child, he worked very hard. In fifty-two years, Kangxi was admitted to Jinshi and started his own career.

Perhaps young life has been affecting Sun Jiagan. He has never gone astray since he set foot on his official career. He has been doing things in a down-to-earth manner, being honest and being an official.

On one occasion, Yongzheng sent his younger brother Prince Guo to Sun Jiagan's jurisdiction to check his political achievements. As a result, Prince Guo found that Sun Jiagan was really an innocent and good official, and there was no mistake in the accounts. He didn't put a penny in his pocket.

Such a good official with integrity, innocence and ability to do things will be highly valued if he is not a bad king. Therefore, during the Yongzheng period, Sun Jiagan was always valued, from an official to an assistant minister of the Ministry of Industry, equivalent to today's deputy ministerial officials.

After the death of Yongzheng, Qianlong acceded to the throne. Qianlong was only 24 years old when he ascended the throne, but he was the longest-serving emperor in 60 years.

After Qianlong acceded to the throne, he appointed Sun Jiagan as assistant minister of the official department and Zuodu suggestion. During this period, Sun Jiagan once again bluntly remonstrated and warned Emperor Qianlong of "three habits and one disadvantage".

At the beginning of his reign, Qianlong appreciated this lovely courtier very much, especially his direct suggestions. Subsequently, Sun Jiagan was promoted to be the minister of punishments. In the punishments department, Sun Jiagan wanted to display his fists and fists and fight.

As a minister of punishments, he has been handling cases impartially, especially caring for the people and rehabilitating them. Once, Qianlong sent him to Henan to handle an unjust case. Before Qianlong sent an imperial envoy to deal with it, he failed to find it, but Sun Jiagan found it clearly.

On one occasion, someone was slandered as a cult leader. Friends who have seen Princess Huanzhu should know that the Qing Dynasty always hated cults, and cults also threatened the Qing regime. So if this person is a cult leader, he will die.

But Sun Jiagan resisted the pressure and found out the truth. This man is not a cult leader, but a confession by torture. According to the laws of the Qing Dynasty, he should be sentenced to death. There are many other people involved in this case. Fortunately, Sun Jiagan found out the truth and cleared their names from the death penalty.

After three years of Qianlong, Sun Jiagan was promoted to the governor of Zhili. After Sun Jiagan was promoted, he not only went to court according to public opinion, but also abolished the prohibition of alcohol among the people and advocated building water conservancy to stabilize people's livelihood.

At the beginning of the founding of the Qing dynasty, the court banned private brewing on the grounds of eating, and this law was strictly enforced. But people are complaining bitterly.

Sun Jiagan learned the truth of the people and learned that the raw materials for brewing were very simple and would not threaten the people's rations.

And wine-making is good for people's livelihood. Ordinary people can make their own wine, and they can open wineries or pubs, so that they can have more business, so that more people can make a living and improve people's livelihood.

After listening to the report in detail, Gan Long accepted Sun Jiagan's suggestion and abolished the law prohibiting folk brewing.

When Qianlong was four years old, Sun Jia was in charge of river affairs. He took the lead in proposing to harness the Yongding River and gradually restore the river course by building a grass dam.

Moreover, based on the long-term consideration, in the second year, Sun Jiagan also put forward a comprehensive management method for Yongding, Ziya, Nanyun, Yun Bei Four Rivers and Dongbaiyang Lakes.

After a period of restoration, not only the river is smoother, but also the suburban dikes are more stable, which can better cope with the subsequent natural disasters.

In the title, it is said that an honest official went back to his hometown wearing clothes, fearing being laughed at, and quietly installed a car full of bricks. What happened?

When Qianlong was twelve years old, Sun Jiagan asked the emperor to retire from his hometown in order to support the elderly.

Sun Jiagan, who has been an honest official all his life, actually has nothing of value to take home. However, the thought that everyone else went back to their hometown in clothes turned out that as a senior official of the imperial court, he was still so shabby after retirement, fearing being laughed at.

But Sun Jiagan really didn't have much money to pack his luggage, so he thought of a way.

Sun Jiagan sent someone to the market to buy more than a dozen heavy wooden boxes and then filled them with bricks. Sun Jiagan took the dozen boxes of bricks back to his hometown.

Surprisingly, this move by Sun Jiagan directly led people to report to Emperor Qianlong. The reporter said: Sun Jiagan is actually a corrupt official even if he pretends to be honest. Otherwise, how could he go back to his hometown with more than a dozen boxes of real money?

Gan Long, who got the report, immediately flew down the book and asked the checkpoints along the way to check Sun Jiagan's boxes to see if they were all full of real money.

However, more than a dozen boxes were opened, which contained bricks instead of gold and silver. After learning the news, Gan Long, who is far away in Beijing, was very moved. Sun Jiagan is indeed an honest official and a good official. So Qianlong directly ordered officials along the way to exchange the bricks in Sun Jiagan's box for real money.

Unexpectedly, Sun Jiagan was rewarded handsomely. The person who reported Sun Jiagan stole the chicken and wasted the rice instead.

However, two years later, Sun Jiagan was recalled to Beijing from his hometown until his death in the eighteenth year of Qianlong.

As can be seen from the above story, Sun Jiagan is indeed a rare talent, honest, not greedy or flattering. He was fortunate to be an official in the three dynasties, and his companions were like tigers. However, Yongzheng and Qianlong did not condemn his outspoken, but listened to his advice.

Unfortunately, there were too few Sun Jiagan and too many small Shenyang in Qing Dynasty.
