Senwei Dai
ABSTRACT:
Zhaohui, surnamed Uya, was born in the forty-seventh year of the Kangxi era (1708) and died in the twenty-ninth year of the Qianlong era (1764), and was an important minister in the early Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. In the ninth year of the Yongzheng era (1731), Zhaohui was appointed to the Office of Military Affairs as a pen-post, and later became an official of the Office of the Co-Chairman, serving for more than 30 years. During his tenure, he gave full play to his various talents and was deeply loved by the Qianlong Emperor.Throughout his life, from an ordinary official to the late frontier officials, which is inseparable from his thorough work, loyalty and dutiful performance, no matter what position he held, Zhaohui will not be proud of his own merits, he will only be his own duties where the place is managed with dedication, due diligence in Zhaohui body has been very well reflected. However, it is undeniable that Zhaohui also has flaws, under the rule of feudal imperial power, Zhaohui is familiar with the way of loyalty to the emperor, obedient to the emperor’s words, not the slightest dare to disobey the emperor’s will, these are reflected in the historical limitations of Zhaohui.
