In his later years, Zhang didn't ask the emperor Qianlong too much for compliments, and the Qing Empire never allowed ministers to ask the emperor for compliments directly, which was just like threatening the emperor directly, which was a heinous act. Zhang was born in 1672. During the Yongzheng period, Zhang was already a minister. Zhang was 63 years old when Emperor Qianlong succeeded to the throne. At this time, Zhang became the minister of life and explicitly asked Zhang to enjoy the ancestral temple in his photo. At this time, Zhang has reached the acme of being a courtier. Emperor Qianlong actually valued Zhang very much, and this esteem lasted for eight years. That is to say, Emperor Qianlong succeeded to the throne for eight years and relied heavily on Zhang, who was 72 years old.

Zhang was born in, and his father Zhang Ying was a college student, so Zhang knew the way to be an official from an early age, and experienced three dynasties: Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong, and knew the bitterness and joy of being an official. But after all, he is old and his brain is not so bright, and because of years of experience, the old man is stubborn. This rule was not only applied to Zhang, but in fact it was even more so in Qianlong's later years. Emperor Qianlong was born in 17 1 1. In the eighth year of Qianlong, that is, 1743, Emperor Qianlong was only in his thirties. It was a year when he was in power, and he had rich ruling experience. However, Zhang, who is over 70 years old, did not pay attention to these details, but always followed his own temperament. As a result, starting this year, two.

Since then, Zhang's old rivals have "hung up" one by one, and Zhang has no object of infighting, which makes him slack off, thus aggravating the emperor Qianlong's dissatisfaction with him, and Zhang also lost his temper step by step and made mistakes, which eventually led to a bleak future. Personally, Zhang went astray step by step in his later years, mainly because Zhang was too old and correct for a long time, which made Zhang extremely confident in himself, and his children and cronies were afraid to give him advice, which led to Zhang Yue becoming more and more stubborn and extreme. Coupled with his illness and impatience in his later years, Zhang went astray step by step in his later years, so that he finally broke with Emperor Qianlong.

Zhang was really confused in his later years. If emperor Qianlong didn't dare to offend the first emperor, he would have laid hands on Zhang. He will never let Zhang live to be eighty-four, let alone enjoy the ancestral temple. In other words, if it weren't for the particularly vain Emperor Qianlong and the more pragmatic Emperor Kangxi, the name of the Zhang family would be hard to protect. It's not crazy. Is he too smart? Emperor Qianlong almost didn't kill any etiquette, so there was no place for such nonsense as "building a high reputation" in front of Emperor Qianlong. The reason why he didn't kill the Zhang family was because the emperor Qianlong had a good face. In his later years, Zhang engaged in party struggle and promoted his power, which was discovered by the emperor. He continued to be angry and put on a loving gesture. A slightly smarter emperor would have killed the whole Zhang family.
