Punish the heroes and kill Uncle Tuo again

Hold the middle and keep the old man safe

Yongzheng relied on two people in the struggle for the throne: one was Nian Qianyao, a general who commanded hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in the northwest, and the other was Long Keduo, who was ordered by Kangxi to read the edict to the princes in the palace. Nian Qianyao put hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in the northwest that Lao Fourteen had been running for many years, all into the hub, for my use, so Yun Yu went to the funeral, and there was no other way than to lose his temper and play a little helpless in front of the first emperor's spirit. Because the military power changed hands to Nian Qianyao.

As for Long Keduo, he is a crucial figure, without him tampering with the "Fourteenth Elder Brother" to "Passing on the Fourth Elder Brother", then Kangxi's future history will have to be rewritten.

The birds are all gone, and the good bow is hidden;

The cunning rabbit dies, and the lackeys cook.

This is a truth that has been proven by countless historical facts. Yongzheng cleaned up some of his most hated brothers, and it was the most natural thing to kill Nian Qianyao, the hero who ensured him and secured the country.

Hardly make any sense.

The first emperor Kangxi planned to kill the minister Ao Bai who guaranteed him to ascend the throne, and because Ao Bai was in power, he was afraid that he would usurp the throne and seize power. When the three feudatories were in rebellion, Wu Sangui's hundreds of thousands of rebels occupied half of the country, there were 100,000 soldiers in the west, and the Chahar rebels approached Gyeonggi in the north, and the Qing Dynasty faced life and death. Zhou Peigong can be said to have recreated the world for Kangxi, and his contributions are world-remarkable.

However, after the three feudatories were pacified, Kangxi demoted him to Shengjing as a small governor, and let the Manchu prince monitor his every move. Zhou Peigong, who had made great contributions, died of depression and illness within a few years.

Kangxi has no other reason, he is afraid that he will become the second "Wu Sangui".

Yongzheng wanted to kill Nian Qianyao, but it was nothing more than because Nian Qianyao pacified Qinghai, made outstanding contributions, commanded more than 300,000 troops, and dominated the northwest. He was afraid that Nian Qianyao would become the "Aobai" and "Wu Sangui" of the Yongzheng Dynasty again, which was his real intention to remove Nian Qianyao.

The record of the official history is that in March of the third year of Yongzheng, the year of Qianyao congratulated the sun and the moon on the combination of the five stars, and miswrote "Chao Qian" as "Xi Ti Chao Qian", so Yongzheng used the title to play the edict and said:

Nian Qianyao, the Red Ancient Temple was played, and the performance was shocking: you

Did you get drunk and drunk, or did God take your soul from killing too many people?

I poured down a piece of Buddha's heart and sent Tian Fold to you, but I want to enlighten you

Tianliang, from now on, has taken away the edge, and Jingbai is just a loyal minister.

Ernai let loose the words, so that he could not say anything to his father and brother, and mourned

The heart is crazy to the extreme! You only ask for Tian Wenjingyan for these words

！ In the case of the compromise, the four words "Chao Qian Xi Ti" were actually made "Xi Ti."

Chao Qian", the contempt is overflowing. You are not allowed to live in the day

Ti, then the merit of the West Sea is also between what is allowed and what is not allowed. I have been

issued an edict to Yue Zhongqi, and the general of Zhengxi was replaced by him, which seems to be appropriate

It is not allowed to be in a "big" word, and it will be reassigned to the general of Hangzhou

Immediate delivery of the letter of the situation. Don't worry, I refuse to hide the bow

Cooking the dog emperor, Ran Er must also complete me, and set off and return as soon as possible.

There are many villains in your old department, and there are many instigations, and there are some differences

Although I want to preserve this kind of thing, I have the law of the country in my ears! To the will

Ask.

Nian Qianyao, who was once commanding the wind and clouds, jumped on the battlefield with a horizontal sword, and his hands were stained with the blood of 100,000 prisoners of war, looked at Yongzheng's Zhu Yu in a daze. His eyes were empty, he didn't think about anything, he didn't look at anything. Suddenly, he walked to his "harem" and gradually sorted out a thought: in fact, he had long expected this day, otherwise, how could he hastily accept ten Mongolian women as concubines on the bloody battlefield, and despite the fatigue of the saddle horse and the battlefield, he still had sex with those tall and strong Mongolian women every night, didn't he just want them to give birth to a few boys quickly, so as to continue the incense of his young general?

Nian Qianyao came to the upper room, took out a large file from the cabinet, handed it to his henchman Sang Chengding, and said:

"Here are some of the silver tickets I've collected, and you give them to those who have children. Today, you will take them out of the camp, and I will send troops to send you to Shanxi. When you arrive in Shanxi, you send those soldiers back, and then you leave Shanxi, one does not join relatives, and the other does not rely on friends, and scatters to find a secluded place to settle down. If I pass through safely, I will find you. If it is all over the house, it is up to you to leave one or two children for me, and continue to take root! ”

Sang Chengding saw that there were 100,000 leading silver tickets, about seventy or eighty, and when he heard the old man so and so, he was already in the throat of tears, and he choked and cried:

"Second master, I am the son of the family slave who is blessed by the great grace of the Nian family, you are like this, how can you see my master when I die!"

"Good brother, you go quickly!" Seeing that Sang Chengding was still in his mother-in-law and his mother refused to leave, tears burst out of his eyes, "Do you want people to have a pot of tea?" Let's go, let's go! ”

"Don't say it, I'll do it......" The old family kowtowed, went to the backyard to pick up a few women and children who had given birth or were pregnant, and left Xining under the escort of their own soldiers.

Nian Qianyao stood in front of the cold spring and snowy Yuanmen, and watched his "harem" flesh and blood and incense car ride away, as if he had finished a big thing, and the stone in his heart fell to the ground. Looking back at the vast and majestic general's line, the tall iron flagpole whistled in the wind, making a "popping" sound, and the flag at the top of the flagpole with tassels and a big book "Year of the General" shivered in the cold wind. The sergeant who protected the flag still stood tall with his chest and belly, hanging his sword without squinting, and the nails seemed to stand in the wind, unwavering in the flying sand and stones. This is the sergeant he trained in his young years!

Nian Qianyao was still pondering alone, and the sergeant outside came to report:

"General Nian, General Yue Zhongqi has arrived at Yimen, saying that he came to see him by order, and he has a will to announce!"

A cold light flashed in Nian Qianyao's eyes, and he commanded loudly:

"Open the middle door with a cannon, put on the incense case, and I'll welcome Yue Zhongqi!"

Nian Qianyao bowed his head and obeyed orders, and honestly handed over the general's seal letter to Yue Zhongqi, and then Yue Zhongqi, the new governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, personally sent it to Tongguan, and sent it to Beijing with a fast horse.

It turned out that Zhang Tingyu was worried that the emperor's holy edict was passed on, and he asked Yue Zhongqi, who had already been in trouble for merit, to pass on the decree to replace Nian Qianyao. When he received a report from Yue Zhongqi for eight hundred miles, and the stone pressed on his heart fell to the ground, he let out a long sigh, and with Yue Zhongqi's recital, he hurried to the Palace of Nourishing Heart to see Yongzheng.

"Your Majesty, Nian Qianyao has obeyed the edict."

Yongzheng was playing chess with Fang Bao, and Prince Yi Yunxiang was sitting next to him. Yunxiang has been ill for a long time, and his spirit is fine, but he is getting thinner and more pitiful. Yongzheng glanced up at Zhang Tingyu and said with a slight smile:

"Nian Qianyao has entered the customs?"

"I've entered Tongguan."

"Didn't cause trouble?"

"Nope."

"Okay, good," Yongzheng turned his head and looked at the game of chess with Fang Bao again, and nodded at the child in his hand, "This game of chess played with Mr. Fang, I lost, and I can afford to lose." and Nian Qianyao's game of chess has been won, and he can afford it. ”

At the end of Xia and April, Nian Qianyao arrived in Hangzhou and took office as the general of Hangzhou. But then the excerpts of the old Qianyao flew like snowflakes. On this day, Zhang Tingyu came to the study room of the Yangxin Palace with a large volume of folds, and Yun Xiang's thin fingers were flipping through the folds that Zhu had criticized, to see the emperor's views on some important matters. On the thanksgiving and thanksgiving fold sent by Nian Qianyao Xining before leaving, Zhu Pi wrote:

I am a little happy to see this performance, and if I can change it, there is no mistake. I'm afraid

I can't be convinced. Reluctantly.

On the excerpt of another minister, he said:

I cherish the talent of the young man and sympathize with his merits, and still use his strength to protect himself

The way of all. He has also recently learned of remorse.

There are several excerpts, and the vague rhetoric is to exonerate Nian Qianyao from his big sin. Yunxiang looked at it and handed it to Fang Bao, who was speechless after reading it, but handed it to Zhang Tingyu again. Zhang Tingyu gave Yongzheng a thick stack of Ming Fa chapters, and then sat down to read those Zhu criticisms.

Yongzheng flipped through the transcript handed over by Zhang Tingyugang, there are more than 100 abridges, all of which accuse Nian Qianyao of how to run amok lawlessly, meddle in government affairs, arrange cronies, and solicit and accept bribes. I can't help laughing:

"The wall is down and everyone pushes it, and the human feelings in the world are really worthless. I think when Qianyao was in power, who would dare to do this? Stay in the middle and don't send it! ”

Zhang Tingyu bowed down and said "yes", but frowned again and said:

This is the impeachment of more than 100 officials, and it seems that it has overdone the public's opinion. This young Qianyao is really too bold, and he is a degraded minister, but he brought 1,200 personal soldiers to Hangzhou, which is too ostentatious! There are 270 sedan chairs, 2,000 camels, and more than 400 carts. He had already become the target of public criticism, and he actually sent a letter to Hangzhou, asking the political envoy Yamen to build another 120 houses for him -- how could this not offend the anger of the people? ”

Zhang Tingyu said this long list of numbers in one breath, and Yunxiang on the side only shook his head when he heard it. Fang Bao knew that Nian Qianyao wanted to avoid the charge of "committing rebellion", and deliberately pretended to be a miser who begged for a place to ask for help, so that Yongzheng would know that he had no ambitions, so that he could be obscure. But this time Zhang Tingyu offended Nian Qianyao too deeply, and if he didn't kill Nian Qianyao, one day Nian Qianyao turned his hand, Zhang Tingyu would never end well, and it was natural for this evil complaint to come out. Fang Bao opened his mouth, and sighed wordlessly.

"It's going to rain and I'm going to get married," Yongzheng said with a pale face, "He won't be a general, he's going to be a stolen official!" I took him down, it was to clean up the officials, he insisted on touching this mold, and I couldn't save him! ”

After that, Yongzheng casually walked to the desk, turned out the plea handed by Nian Qianyao in Tongguan, and wrote on it:

I have heard rumors early on: "The emperor is out of the mouth of the three rivers, and the Jiahu battle field"

Words. Guanqing's actions seem to be eager to compete with me! I think, you

If you claim to be the emperor, it is a fixed number of days, and it is difficult for me to save it. If you won't

For your own sake, with you commanding thousands of soldiers, you will never allow the Sanjiangkou to be commendable

Emperor also!

Yongzheng finished writing, threw the pen, and said to Zhang Tingyu:

"All these bullet chapters are abridged and published in the Di Bao Mingfa, and the Nian Qianyao is replayed one by one according to the facts, and the officials' department, the criminal department, the military department, and the household department, where there are excerpts that play the Nian Qianyao, all have a clear transcript."

On the fifth day after this conversation, Emperor Yongzheng issued an edict to demote Nian Qianyao from the general of Hangzhou to 18 ranks, demote him to a commoner, and send him to a small town called "Liu" thirty miles away from Hangzhou to guard the city gate cave. In this way, they humiliated him, and filed him with the sharpness of the holy bow.

Nian Qianyao, who was once a powerful minister in the government and the opposition, and was famous at home and abroad, may have realized the true meaning of "monarch and minister" when he put on the "soldier" gown with the size of the baked cake again. He joined the army at the age of eighteen, and at the age of twenty-two, he was a guerrilla in the official residence of Sipin, and he made meritorious contributions to the southern tour of the Holy Ancestor, and was carried into the banner and transferred to the door of Prince Yong. In the two expeditions to Galdan with Kangxi, the Battle of Ulan Butong and the Battle of Kobdo, with a silver spear, the army of 10,000 horses rampaged like no one. He captured and beheaded Ge Li, the governor of Gansu, with a slight general, to ensure the supply of food and straw for the army on the North Road, and was favored by Kangxi, and was directly promoted to the political envoy and governor of Sichuan. Bao Yongzheng ascended the throne and made meritorious contributions, and then became the general of Fuyuan. After thirty years of making the tide in the sea, he fell from the apex of glory, and then he knew that the emperor was not easy to deal with. This world is the emperor's world, you sacrificed your life for him to fight for the country, and saved the country, he doesn't want you anymore, kick you away, and even go to the eighteenth layer of hell!

"Is this the way of a king?"

Yes, in China, only the emperor is the master, and no matter what you do as an official, you are the prime minister and the general, all of whom are just the slaves of the master. This is the way of governing the country and people formulated by Confucius Lao Er for thousands of years for China: "monarchs, ministers, fathers, and sons".

Nian Qianyao was in the city gate cave of the town that "stayed", except for Ying Mao to open the door and sweep the floor, he was thinking about this problem. Why did the ancestors create an emperor and turn the world into a family? Why did the ministers of all generations serve the emperor like their fathers and mothers? Why does the king want his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die? Why is it not the king's land under the whole world? If it weren't for the thousands of ministers who went to the herdsmen to defend the land for the emperor, would the emperor have done it? Can he rule the world? Why are the ministers of Wen Taowu and the world-famous all willing to be the emperor's slaves, and the common people have become the slaves of the slaves, what is going on!

Nian Qianyao couldn't think through it, couldn't figure it out, so he didn't want to die yet. On the bullet seal of Yongzheng Zhu who ridiculed him, exposed him, and whipped him, he wrote his defense and confession on the reverse side with a bald pen, and he hoped that Yongzheng would change his mind and let him live.

But what is waiting for?

Do you want to live? I have ordered Tuli to go to Guangzhou to get your brother,

I'm going to get you right now!

With Zhu Pi and the study room to collect the chapters and summaries of the impeachment of Nian Qianyao by hundreds of officials, the table of contents alone is a few large pages, five major crimes of rebellion, nine crimes of deception, thirteen crimes of rebellion, six crimes of arbitrariness, and the crime of greed and erosion Eighteen articles and fifteen paragraphs of a total of 92 major crimes, which are discussed by Dali Temple and the Criminal Department, "Please set up a canonical punishment for Nian Qianyao." Yongzheng hoped that Nian Qianyao would commit suicide, but Nian Qianyao's desire to survive became stronger and stronger, and he also wrote "Dying and Begging".

Yongzheng hesitated and did not immediately give Nian Qianyao to commit suicide, because Yongzheng accepted Nian Qianyao's sister as a concubine, and now the concubine is sick and has lost a lot of weight. Moreover, dozens of members of the Nian family have personal relations with him, and on this day, Zhang Tingyu and Ma Qi, who handed over the fold to ask for retirement, came to the Palace of Nourishing Heart together. Zhang Tingyu held Nian Qianyao's "Dying Plea" to Yongzheng transferred by Li Wei, the governor of Liangjiang, and Ma Qi wrinkled his face and said with a walnut pattern on his face:

"Long live the Lord, the Nian Concubine is the Nian Concubine, and the Nian Qianyao is the Nian Qianyao. Nian Qianyao committed an unforgivable sin, and the saint did not connect with Concubine Nian, which is already a great grace. He bowed again, "The country, the public instrument, if you are connected with private friendship, you can't do anything!" ”

Yongzheng looked at the very pitiful old horse for a long time, sighed for a long time, didn't say anything, walked quickly to the side of the desk, pulled a piece of paper and wrote hurriedly:

Begging for a look. If you refuse to commit suicide and apologize, I have to give you to kill yourself!

The life of the young general came to an end in this way. Also accompanying him to die was Nian Qianyao's eldest son Nian Fu, who was immediately beheaded, "the remaining son is in the army, so that his father and brother will not sit on it." There are no nine clans of the Zhu Nian family, which is also an extraneous favor.

In the first month of the fourth year of Yongzheng, Long Keduo, the minister of Gu Ming and the uncle of the country, was cut by Yongzheng to the post of minister of the study, and before that, he resigned as the governor of Jiumen. As the "friends" of the eighth and ninth masters surfaced, Long Keduo was also shocked three times a day, and gradually showed his tail. But his sin was not to plot with the eighth and fourteenth children to "change the sky", but because of a secret about the birth of another emperor in the future - this is a hard fold, the cover of the yellow silk is inlaid with a gold edge, opened, and inside it is neatly written in block letters:

The fourth elder brother of the emperor Hongli was born on August 13, the 50th year of Kangxi

Prince Yong's Mansion (Lama Temple). Princess Niu Hulu, Nian Concubine, Ya

Tou Cui'er Zhu'er Ying'er Bao'er was present, and Liu Wei's wife.

This is the priceless "jade" that involved the lives of the future Qianlong Emperor Hongli, who was involved in the lives of several princes and ministers. This kind of thing was a top-secret document at the time, and in order to prevent someone from stealing the Shenggeng Bazi Demon Law or the Ambiguous Technique to harm the emperor's elder brother, it has always been tightly locked in the Emperor's Palace.

When he was young, he heard from the palace people that the fourth elder brother Hongli who now dared to compete with him for the position of the prince of the country was not the royal blood, but the baby girl who was born only three days after Niu Hulu's family, and the minister's family surnamed Chen was also a newborn baby boy. As soon as he saw that Huang Ama was more and more fond of Hongli, he forced Long Keduo to steal Hongli's "jade" and wanted to make a fuss about it.

Besides, Yun Xu, the leader of the Eight Masters Party, has been disheartened since the failure of the "changing the sky" when the queen mother died, and gradually lost the idea of "taking over" by himself, and turned his attention to the ambitious imperial nephew Hongshi. hopes that Fuhong will ascend to the throne and force Yongzheng to step down, so that he can be the emperor and manipulate the emperor's nephew. Hongshi then got close to the eighth master and told Long Keduo about the "jade". Yun Yu is a master of using the "jade" to practice the magic of demon magic, and he immediately asked for it from Hongshi. When the eighth master became "Aqina", and copied the "jade" of Hongli from the Eight Princes' Mansion when he copied the house, Yongzheng was surprised when he heard that it was like thunder. Reminiscent of the past when the eldest and eighth were the eldest and eighth prince Yunren performing demon magic and ambiguity, I really can't wait to kill all these brothers and cook them!

Isn't it enough that they have harmed their own brothers, and now they are going to harm their nephews? Thinking of the Kangxi Dynasty, dozens of brothers and elder brothers fought to the death for the crown prince, the bloody storm before and after the death of Huang Ama, Long Keduo's edict to change his will, and the old locksmith who was hacked to death by Long Keduo, Yongzheng shuddered and slept on the dragon couch with nightmares.

He thought that he was fortunate to leave only three sons, two of the three sons were not angry, one did not learn and had no skills, and the other had no virtue and no talent, only the fourth elder brother Hongli had been favored by the first emperor Kangxi since he was a child, smart and studious, and he was suave when he grew up, and he had good popularity and popularity among the hundred officials. Now, it is this Hongli who can be established as the only prince in his mind, and the only one who can inherit the unification, but his "jade" is in the hands of the eighth child, does he want to repeat the old trick, or is there any more despicable use?

He passed on the decree again and again, saying that the Zongren Mansion must find out from the mouth of "Aqina" who stole the "jade" and how it got into the hands of the eighth child. Because Yongzheng also faintly heard some gossip, saying that Hongli was not his biological child, but Niu Hulu's family transferred flowers and trees, and exchanged a baby girl she gave birth to to a baby boy from the minister's family surnamed Chen. He even heard that the "phoenix for the dragon" was exchanged for Chen Gelao, the grandson of Chen Xu, and the son of Chen Shiqi, who was the grandson of the two generations of Shangshu of the Kangxi Dynasty. He also asked the princess of the Niu Hulu clan, and she insisted that it was her own son, and also said that on the day of childbirth, the young concubine, the girl Cui'er Zhu'er and Ying'er Bao'er were present, and the stable wife Liu Wei could testify. She cried and cried and made trouble in the Jinluan Palace, saying that there were traitors and traitors who wanted to murder her Hongli, so she spread rumors to confuse the public, she wanted the emperor to be the master for her, otherwise she would die with Hongli.

That time, Yongzheng killed several palace maids and eunuchs who spread gossip, and he made up his mind, and Hongli admitted it even if it was "exchanged".

Because among the three princes, only Hongli has the talent to reign in the world, and he made Hongli from Beizi to Prince Bao.

"Aqina" Yunyu was unwilling to throw Hongshi out until he died, because Hongshi swore in front of him: once he won the world, he would let the eighth uncle prime minister govern, and he would shield all the children and grandchildren of the eighth uncle's family. But "Aqina" couldn't stand the inhuman torture and torture, and finally had to confess his uncle Long Keduo. Because he knew that Long Keduo had the grace of "changing the edict" to Yongzheng, Yongzheng did not dare to kill him, he knew that he would die soon, and it would be good for his children and grandchildren to leave Hongshi and Long Keduo behind.

In the first month of the fourth year of Yongzheng, Long Keduo knew that he was in trouble, so he took the initiative to resign as the governor of Jiumen and abstained to avoid trouble. Yongzheng was thinking about how to deal with this uncle Long Keduo, and when he saw that he had resigned as the governor of Jiumen, he rubbed his legs and removed him from the title of minister of the upper study. Although Long Keduo was stripped of his position, Yongzheng also sent him to Russia to negotiate the border.

Yongzheng said to Long Keduo:

"Although you are guilty, I have not treated you as an ordinary slave. You've been meritorious in the past! This time, General Altai is also the ambassador of the Chin Chabian Mission, and you write a note and send it to Bushan, asking him to take precautions on the spot. If this mission is done well, I will forgive you from your sin. ”

Long Keduo was naturally grateful, retreated silently, and traveled thousands of miles to the Sino-Russian border in Xinjiang to discuss the border with General Altai.

After the minister of the study, Ma Qi Zhishi, Yongzheng enabled Zhu Shi, a university scholar, to walk in the cabinet. In December of that year, the king's minister asked for an order to correct the wives of Aqina and Seth Hei. Yongzheng criticized:

Although Aqina and Seth Black are rebellious, they have not rebelled

Zhang, so as not to sit on it. Seth Black's wife was expelled to her mother's house and imprisoned.

The rest of the dependents shall be handed over to the Ministry of Internal Affairs for support.

In all dynasties, there are so many princes and ministers who pat the emperor's ass and vote for their favor, they know that Yongzheng hates the relatives of the old eight and nine, so they vote for their favorites, please "correct Aqina and Seth's black wives", but let Yongzheng be a good person.

This is exactly what Cao Xueqin later wrote in "Dream of Red Mansions":

When the fake is true, the truth is also false, and there is no place for inaction.

In October of the fifth year of Yongzheng, Long Keduo returned to the capital from the snowy northwest border, and the case of Nian Qianyao, who had died was involved in him. This time, Yongzheng did not take the means to deal with Nian Qianyao - giving death, but secretly sent a message to the Metropolitan Procuratorate and wrote to participate. said that Long Keduo sold the law and embezzled bribes, sheltered Nian Qianyao, and secretly hid jade, plotting against him. The Dali Temple, the Criminal Department, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate will be tried, and Wang Xibao of Shuncheng County will serve as the chief judge and be strictly interrogated.

The prince of Xibao brought Long Keduo to question, and Long Keduo said:

"Lord Wang, these sins you know are all trivial."

"Huh?" Xibao was shocked.

"You don't know my great sin." Long Keduo looked at the rare and strange Xibao, and said eloquently, "But the big crime I committed can only be regarded as an accomplice, and there is another person at the head......"

"Whoever is the leader, quickly and truthfully recruit!"

"Do you dare to ask the leader?" Long Keduo smiled, "It's Emperor Yongzhengye." ”

"Nonsense! Nonsense......"

"If you don't believe it, go and ask him. Which of the things I did was not instructed by him, and now that he is the emperor, I naturally deserve to die. ”

The prince of Xibao saw that he was too disagreeable, where did he dare to ask more, so he ordered Long Keduo to be taken down left and right, and according to the original ginseng's recital, he fabricated a confession, convicted of fifty major crimes, and sentenced him to beheading.

Yongzheng hesitated again and again, he wanted to behead Long Keduo immediately, but he knew that the government and the opposition had rumors about the relationship between Long Keduo and the edict of the throne, and he was unwilling to give an order to kill Long Keduo, giving people a word to say that he was ungrateful. So he changed his decree and imprisoned Long Keduo forever. This not only stopped Long Keduo from telling the secret of the "edict" outside, but also showed that he was not so ungrateful and unrighteous.

Roncodo was convicted of twenty major crimes, and the ministers of the clan who were ordered to be spared death should be imprisoned in the same place. This minister, who was entrusted by Lord Kangxi to read the edict, changed a word to make the cruel and vicious old Siyinzhen become Emperor Yongzheng. Although he had the scenery of leaning towards the government and the opposition, wearing a robe and a wat, and integrating gold, silver, jewelry, glory and wealth, and the ascension of chickens and dogs, he could not avoid inhuman torture and torture as a prisoner.

The family property was stolen, the wife was put into the Xinzheku, and the children were left on the streets, reduced to dust, or beggars, or slaves and maids for others.

He himself didn't stay in prison for a year, and he also died, and followed the eighth master, the ninth master, and Nian Qianyao together.

This is also in line with a song that Cao Xueqin later wrote:

Chests full of gold, chests full of silver,

In the blink of an eye, beggars are on the list;

is lamenting that his life is not long,

How do you know that you will return to mourn?

Well-trained,

It is not certain that it will be a strong beam in the future.

selection of paste beams,

Who wants to live in Fireworks Alley!

Because the yarn hat is small,

Causing the shackles to be carried;

Yesterday I was cold,

Now the purple python is long;

Coax you to sing and let me appear,

Recognize the other country as the hometown;

It's ridiculous,

In the end, it is all about making wedding garments for others.

There is only one person who can see through the world and does not make "wedding dresses" for others -- that is, Zhang Tingyu, who does not take risks and speculate for the sake of the temporary "small yarn hat" and "purple python chief", nor does he covet "boxes full of gold and silver" to collect money and ask for bribes, and sits firmly on the fishing boat as an upright official.

When the prime minister Yun Xu, the minister of the upper study, Long Keduo, and the general Nian Qianyao were killed one after another, Zhang Tingyu not only did not fall out of favor, but his position in Yongzheng's mind was strengthened more and more. In the study room and the military aircraft department, he was left with the oldest qualified first assistant minister. Prince Yi Yunxiang passed away, and Ma Qi Zhishi. There was only one Zhang Tingyu and Fang Bao left in the huge upper study and military aircraft office.

Yongzheng transferred Ortai from the post of governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, transferred back to Beijing, and worked with Zhu Shi to enrich the military aircraft department and the upper study.

is already more than half a generation, and Zhang Hengchen, who has gray temples, is going to assist Yongzheng with the new prime ministers Ortai and Zhu Shi.
