After his father ruling for 61 years, he left many troubles unsolved to his son. At that time, the nation facing corruption problem nationwide even in the government. Someone can buy the government post -- from the post as small as a district officer to the post as big as a member of the cabinet, as long as you can pay out the money requested, you would be rewarded with the post. Yongzheng with his unwelcomed actions by those corrupted officers managed to minimized the problem and save a lot for the Nation Reserve. This lead to the Prosperous Era enjoyed by his son, QianLong later on.
