Yongzheng was a relatively diligent emperor, but he died after 13 years on the throne, and his life can be described as hard work and high achievements, because it laid the foundation for Qianlong. It is said that Yong was seriously ill in the Yuanmingyuan Palace, and then the next afternoon he was critically ill, and then he summoned the minister urgently, and died that night, because of the strangeness of his death, which caused a lot of speculation.
There are very few historical records, but according to Zhang Tingyu's records, at that time, Yongzheng's seven tricks of bloodshed, which made him "horrified", Yongzheng died violently, so it triggered a lot of speculation, these conjectures are mostly folk rumors, but also the records of wild history, today we will talk about these rumors.
The mystery of Lü Siniang's killing of Yongzheng
Legend has it that when the Yongzheng Emperor was in power, he was greatly promoted to the prison of writing, so many ministers were raided and killed, among which Lü Siniang's grandfather was like this, Lü Siniang's family was convicted of writing prison, three generations of grandchildren were tragically killed, at that time, only 13-year-old Lü Siniang was spared from going out, so she planted the seeds of revenge from a young age, she once wrote blood and wrote down the nine words of "do not kill the Yongzheng Emperor, death does not blind", since then, she has been hidden, constantly learning from the teacher, and finally learned a good sword technique, becoming one of the best swordsmen at that time Lü Siniang knew that the time was ripe, so she disguised herself and mixed into the palace, once Yongzheng was reading alone in the study, Lü Siniang knew that the opportunity was coming, she rushed into the study, killed Yongzheng, and took Yongzheng's head, because Lü Siniang's kung fu was extremely high, so she soon came out of the Forbidden City, after Yongzheng died, the Qing court secretly created a golden head to bury in order to create the illusion of Yongzheng's illness and death.
Killed by the palace maid
Legend in the land is that Yongzheng was in the ninth year, Yongzheng offended the eunuchs and palace women because of his words, so he was strangled by the eunuch palace women with a rope while sleeping, but they did not die, and they were later cured, but there were also rumors that they were strangled, and the Qing court did not dare to announce it to the outside world, so they created the illusion of Yongzheng's illness and death, and buried Yongzheng.
Elixir poisoned to death
Legend has it that Yongzheng was very superstitious, especially believing in the art of immortality, so he took a large amount of Dan medicine and was finally poisoned. In recent years, more and more historians have found that yongzheng took Dan medicine poisoning to death, because it is the seven tricks to bleed to death, so it must be poisoned and died, this rumor is more appropriate.
Poisoned by Cao Xueqin
Cao Xueqin has always been deeply in love with Zhu Xiangyu, and fell in love with Zhu Xiangyu very early on, but then Zhu Xiangyu was taken away by Yongzheng, Cao Xueqin held a grudge in her heart and always wanted to kill Yongzheng to avenge, so she secretly mixed into the palace, put the poison she brought into Yongzheng's tea bowl through Zhu Xiangyu, and Yongzheng was poisoned and died, but think about it, this is pure nonsense, because the palace guards are quite strict, and ordinary people cannot easily enter the palace and poison.
Mrs. Lu stabbed to death said
Legend has it that Lady Lu's husband was killed by Yongzheng because of the rebellion, and Lady Lu therefore held a grudge in her heart and wanted to kill Yongzheng to avenge, because she was good at swordsmanship, she sneaked into the Yuanmingyuan to avenge, and the result really killed Yongzheng, and then killed herself, but this story is also impossible, because the guards of the Yuanmingyuan are also very strict, it is impossible for anyone to easily infiltrate, so this is also fabricated by posterity.
Jiang Shuhai said
Jiang Shuhai once said an anecdote, when he took the book from the cabinet, he found two things, one was a wooden box, the other was a wooden box, the contents of the wooden box were related to the nara clan, the contents of the wooden box were very terrible, tightly wrapped, opened to see a skeleton, no one knew who it was, so some people speculated that it was Yongzheng, but this is just a guess.
