盛京将军增祺既未离职亦未复任考

THE TEST OF GENERAL SHENGJING ZENG QI'S NOT LEAVING AND ALSO NOT RETURNING TO HIS ORIGINAL POST

《清史稿》载增祺于光绪二十五年三月壬申任盛京将军,至光绪三十一年四月丙午忧免,方才去任。以后相继问世的四种有关著述却将增祺分为两任,其依据为《清实录》光绪二十六年八月戊子条之记载。然而,据《清实录》该条以后的一系列记载证明,命增祺与江宁将军互调的谕旨并未生效,增祺亦未离职,并始终以盛京将军名义办事上疏,直至光绪三十一年四月丙午忧免,期间并无增祺离职及复任之事。《清史稿》记载正确。

＂Historical Manuscript of Qing＂ carries that ZenQi held the post of General ShengJing in March twenty fifth （Rensheng） in Guangxu 25 and left the post in April fourth （Bingwu） in Guangxu 31 because of hastening home for the funeral of a parent or a grandparent. There were four kind of related writings published one after another which divided Zen Qi＇ s post into two Generals, based on the record of ＂Qing Factual Record＂ in August nineteenth （Wuzi） in Guangxu 26. However, according to ＂Qing Factual record＂, after this record there were a series of record proofing that the transfer did not come into force. ZenQi did not leave his job until April fourth in Guangxu 31, and he did not return to his original post during that time, either. Therefore, ＂Historical Manuscript of Qing＂ records correctly.
