What is history: it is the echo of the past to the future, the reflection of the future on the past. - Hugo
First of all, let's talk about Nian Qianyao, who strategized and hired the battlefield, cooperated with various armies to quell the rebellion in Tibet, and led a large army to quell Qinghai, making outstanding military achievements. It was even more indispensable when the Ninth Son took the throne, because without Nian Qianyao's army suppressing the situation outside, Yongzheng could not succeed to the throne smoothly.
You think that the young general who gathered so many military achievements in one, when Yongzheng had just succeeded to the throne, was degraded again and again, and finally how unwilling it was to give death. Wearing a yellow coat to guard the city gate is a kind of silent resistance, seeing Nian Tangyao's luxurious dining, many netizens said that Nian is not aware of life and death, pretending to be a persecutor. In fact, nian is unwilling, disobedient, pretending to show the emperor.
It is to see this situation that Yongzheng has become the top priority on the issue of candidates, and indeed, Li Wei is really the best candidate.
First of all, Li Wei's loyalty to Yongzheng is beyond doubt, and then Li Wei is very clever and does things actively. At any time, li Wei's account to the emperor was successfully completed.
Secondly, Li Wei's personal relationship with Nian Qianyao can be said to be quite good, after all, they are all people from the Fourth Master's Mansion. Therefore, after Li Wei arrived at the will, he did not use anything to move with affection, to understand or reason. Nian Qianyao already knew it, and after a few glasses of water and wine, he committed suicide with hatred. To tell the truth, Li Wei's heart is not a taste, he is a dynasty official, but he is helpless.
After the brutal court struggles of Yongzheng's succession, there were naturally many conspiracies and conspiracies that were well known to his favorite courtiers, such as Wu Sidao, Long Keduo, Nian Qianyao, Tian Wenjing, and Li Wei. Wu Sidao was most familiar with many of the unbearable things when Yongzheng was the prince, so he was far away from self-preservation at the earliest. Then Long keduo was removed, and by the time Nian Tangyao arrived, the rest were all wenchen.
Shi Zaiyongzheng remembered that Nian Qianyao's meritorious service and fame were known to the whole country, and if he was punished, I was afraid that the people of the world would not be convinced, and he would inevitably bear the notoriety of being cruel and fierce and killing heroes, so he expressed his kindness and gave him self-punishment in prison.
The Yongzheng Dynasty sent Li Wei to go, which was exactly what it meant. Li Wei, as one of Yongzheng's favorite courtiers, was cautious and prudent, did not make any mistakes, and every errand assigned by Yongzheng was in line with the emperor's wishes. Li Wei had a good personal relationship with Nian Qianyao, and it was most appropriate to express Yongzheng's kindness, and he could also let General Nian not be blind before his death, save the family, and save Yongzheng's reputation. Historically, after the death of Nian Tangyao, Yongzheng did indeed open up to all its sub-realms.
