After Nian Qianyao was given death, how did the Yongzheng Emperor treat his family?
Nian Tangyao was an indispensable name for the Yongzheng Dynasty and was heavily influenced by court drama. Many people believe that Nian Tangyao was reused during the Yongzheng period, but this was not the case. As early as the Kangxi Dynasty, Nian Qianyao, who was less than 30 years old, went to Sichuan as an inspector. However, after Yongzheng took over, he was heavily dependent on Nian Qianyao, and he broke the rules and raised him to a higher level. He also shouldered the heavy responsibility of Yongzheng to govern Sichuan, defeat the Dzungars, and quell the unrest in Qinghai. He also won the war.
Yongzheng had long taken a fancy to his talent and wanted to recruit him to use him. Therefore, when Yongzheng was still a prince, he married his sister. Since then, he has firmly stood behind the Yongzheng Emperor and become the backer of the Yongzheng Emperor. Over the years, his relationship with Yongzheng has transcended the relationship between monarchs and subjects.
When the Luobozang Danjin Rebellion occurred in Qinghai, Yongzheng had just come to power. Yongzheng appointed Nian Qianyao as the general of Fuyuan to quell the rebellion. Nian Qianyao did not live up to his expectations and returned triumphantly. Even when selecting important officials, as long as Nian Qianyao recommends them, officials and military departments will give priority to recruitment. This was known at the time as the "annual election." We can see that his position was very prominent and important at that time.
Since Yongzheng valued Nian Qianyao so much, why did he have him executed?
It is precisely because Yongzheng is very fond of himself that his sister is Yongzheng's favorite concubine. He began to be arrogant. Not only did he take bribes and enjoy great success, he also began to form political parties, run private enterprises, and build his prestige. These Yongzheng Emperors all knew, but as long as they did not overstep their positions, the Yongzheng Emperor also turned a blind eye. But he did not relent, but became more and more serious. On the frontier, the Mongol prince and Ah Bao saw him and had to kneel. On the way to Beijing, he asked Li Weijun, the governor of Zhili Province, and Fan Shijie, the governor of Shaanxi Province, to kneel down to greet them. In this way, they will definitely be impeached by the ministers, and Yongzheng will also begin to resent it.
Later, auspicious omens appeared in the starry sky. All the officials congratulated him, and he also praised the Yongzheng Emperor for his tireless efforts and good governance of the world. However, the handwriting on the table is scrawled, and at the same time, the "morning and evening ti" is mistaken for "xi ti chao dry". Yongzheng was furious. He took the opportunity to suppress him and change his past preferences. He said bluntly that he was not afraid because of military merit. After that, Nian Xiyao's status declined sharply. He was transferred away. After his loss of power, many officials exposed his crimes. Finally, 92 crimes were summarized. But instead of killing him with great fanfare, he was put in jail and given death inside.
Although he committed the most heinous crimes, his brother and father were not involved, and he was a Qing official during the reign of the Kangxi Emperor. His brother did his duty. His father and brother were dismissed, and Yongzheng later reappointed his brother.
In fact, Nian Xiyao's eldest son was very wealthy, and he followed his father in many court affairs. Moreover, with his own ideas, Yongzheng would not leave such a time bomb and would eventually be beheaded.
As for Nian Xiyao's other children, they were exiled at the age of 15 and survived under the age of 15. However, his descendants could no longer become officials, and could only remain anonymous thereafter.
