In the history of China, the Qing Dynasty was the last feudal dynasty, a total of 296 years since nurhaci established the Houjin Dynasty, and from the time the Emperor Taiji changed the name of the country to liquidation, guozuo was established in 276 years. During the Qing Dynasty, the centralization of power reached its peak, during which the prosperous Kangqian dynasty appeared, and the population, trade, and taxation increased significantly, but it also brought hundreds of years of humiliation to China in modern history. In the end, it stems from the Blind arrogance of the Qing Dynasty's policy of closing the country to the outside world, so that China missed the trend of the times, and science and technology, ideology, and productivity were gradually surpassed by the West. This policy was fully implemented during the Qianlong period, but in fact it was already implemented during the reign of the Yongzheng Emperor.
The Yongzheng Emperor was the fourth son of the Kangxi Emperor, and the famous nine sons of history ended with the Yongzheng Emperor winning the throne. During his reign, the Yongzheng Emperor was diligent in government affairs and carried out drastic reforms in many places, such as strengthening the notice of ethnic minorities in the southwest, carrying out the policy of "changing the land and returning to the stream", and vigorously rectifying the finances and implementing the practice of "returning envy to the public". The most famous is the establishment of the secret folding system and the military aircraft office in order to strengthen the centralization of power, which was the peak of the centralized rule of the Chinese feudal dynasty. It is worth mentioning that in 1644, when the Qing soldiers entered the customs, the Catholic Church had already entered China for 62 years, and the dispute between the Qing Dynasty and the Holy See on the etiquette during the reign of Yongzheng entered a white-hot stage, and the repeated attitude of the Holy See made the Yongzheng Emperor lively, directly ordering the prohibition of Catholics and foreign missionaries to preach, and the trade and exchanges between the two sides were also completely banned, which was the beginning of the Qing Dynasty's closure.
The Yongzheng Emperor was subject to a lot of controversy, but it is undeniable that he helped the development of the Qing Dynasty very much during his reign, and the Kangqian Dynasty was officially able to appear because of Yongzheng's inheritance. In history, any effective emperor will definitely gather a group of good ministers to assist him, and the most relied on during the Yongzheng Emperor is the desolate Nian Tangyao. During the Kangxi Dynasty, Nian Tangyao served as the governor of Sichuan and the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, and made great achievements in suppressing rebellions several times.
After the Yongzheng Emperor ascended the throne, he relied heavily on Nian Qianyao, and made him the general of Fuyuan to control the military and political affairs in the northwest, and quelled the Shengluobuzang Danjin Rebellion in Qinghai. With this merit, Nian Tangyao Pingbu Qingyun was awarded the title of First Class Gong and Taifu, and at this time Nian Qianyao not only threatened the northwest, but also could participate in the affairs of Yunnan, becoming Yongzheng's largest confidant in other provinces.
Not only that, Nian Qianyao also had the right to directly write to the emperor to participate in the government affairs of the court, and he could perform and perform government affairs of central and local officials. In the personnel transfer of officials, the Yongzheng Emperor also exchanged views with Nian Qianyao for a long time, and such a huge power made Nian Qianyao be blinded. The huge power in his hands and the sloppy horses of his hands, the emperor's attention, made Nian Qianyao a little fluttery. The Yongzheng Emperor was concerned about the changes in Nian Qianyao, but because Nian Qianyao controlled the military and political power in the northwest, nearly half of the country's elite soldiers were under his command, so he did not act hastily.
In 1726, faced with the alliance of party members, self-esteem, and wealth and corruption, the Yongzheng Emperor took advantage of the impeachment of Nian Qianyao by the imperial court ministers and The Mongol princes, and pushed the boat along the water to arrest Nian Qianyao and imprison him. Listed 92 of his major sins, he was given death by the emperor and ordered to raid his home. When the Inspector of Zhejiang was ordered to raid Nian Qianyao's family property for Qincha, he stumbled upon the "Essay on the Western Expedition" written by Nian Qianyao at home, and the author of this book was Wang Jingqi, an aide of Nian Qianyao. When I flipped through the books, I found that there were many disrespectful sentences about the emperor, such as "The emperor is worthless", a rebellious book, which was sent to the palace by Inspector Fumin of Zhejiang.
The Yongzheng Emperor was furious when he saw this book, and a week after Nian Qianyao was given death, Wang Jingqi was shown to the public, his head was hung in the vegetable market for ten years, and his wife and brother were sent to Ningguta as slaves. The pair of Nian Qianyao and Yongzheng, which should have been a model of mutual acquaintance between kings and subjects in history, was destroyed by Nian Qianyao's stubbornness.
