Everyone should know that in the Qing Dynasty, it was ruled by Manchu. Under the rule of Manchu, the status of Han people was relatively low. However, Kangxi studied the culture of Han people and China hard, hoping to rule the Han people better. On October 26th, fifty-five years of Kangxi, he said this in a conversation with a university student. There is nothing growing up in the world. Don't ignore the small ones, but pay more attention to the big ones. The heart of Han people is not harmonious. Such as Manchuria and Mongolia, hundreds of thousands of people joined forces. I have been in the imperial court for many years, and every time I treat Han people, I am stubborn and can't be as single-minded as before. The country has a long history, and we must not forget the danger. ? This passage also tells the reason why he thinks Chen Han is difficult to treat.
There are many examples to explain why he found Chen Han difficult to treat. For example, on March 24th, the 27th year of Kangxi, an imperial edict to university students said: As ministers, people have framed each other with selfishness since ancient times. Not only Han officials follow this custom, but also Manchu officials. You should be fair to the public and change this custom. ? On the 22nd day of the first month of the thirty-sixth year of Kangxi, Kangxi ordered the university students to say: Anyone who recommends himself is either a teacher or a friend or a relative, which is a long-standing bad habit of the Han people. Officials in the world, how can I be known to everyone, can only rely on the ministers. ? These two paragraphs all say that Kangxi thinks Chen Han is too selfish, officials often attack each other because of personal grievances, and the phenomenon of officials protecting each other and cronyism is also very serious.
In fact, in the final analysis, Kangxi pointed out that these problems are in the hope of changing bad habits, but these are all ills accumulated over thousands of years and are also weaknesses of human nature. How can they be changed so easily?
