Yongzheng was very important to the two ministers during his reign, and it was also because of their support that Yongzheng narrowly won the victory among his brothers and seized the throne. These two people are Nian Qianyao and Long Keduo, and there is still a relationship between them, and it is also because of this relationship that these two people have contributed a lot to Yongzheng.
However, the emperor was suspicious, these two people were heavy subjects when Yongzheng ascended the throne, but with the passage of time, the emperor did not trust Nian Tangyao to support the army and respect himself, and Longkeduo had many henchmen, so neither of them had a good end.
Nian Qianyao's deputy general Yue Zhongqi was a good hand at leading soldiers, but when Yongzheng was preparing to eliminate Nian Qianyao, he did not know who he wanted to help, because Nian Qianyao was arrogant and did not take others seriously because of his outstanding military achievements, and not many people above the government and the public dared to impeach him in person, and later Yushi wrote on the one hand that Nian Qianyao's words and deeds were too inappropriate, and on the other hand, he secretly received instructions from the emperor.
Impeaching a hot courtier without the emperor's approval, no one would be willing to risk offending people. However, at that time, Yue Zhongqi was deeply trusted by Nian Qianyao, so if someone close to him came forward to impeach, it would also save Yongzheng a lot of trouble.
Yongzheng's attitude toward Nian Qianyao at that time was also worse than a day, and Yue Zhongqi had been in the official arena for many years without understanding the stakes, but Yue Zhongqi did not come forward to impeach, to wash away the suspicion that he and Nian Qianyao were in a party, but just to wait and see what happened, which made Yongzheng unhappy, after all, disobeying the king's wishes would not end well. At that time, he chose to help the emperor eradicate Nian Tangyao, and he could also leave a way back for himself.
When Yue Zhongqi later came to power, someone persuaded Yue Zhongqi to have military power to rebel, although at that time Yue Zhongqi immediately wrote to the emperor to show that he did not have these ideas, of course, he also got a response from Yongzheng on the surface, but in the end, the person who persuaded Yue Zhongqi was actually alive, and Yue Zhongqi let him go, making him lobby everywhere to deceive people's hearts.
These words reached the emperor's ears, and the emperor did not have so much trust in Yue Zhongqi, this matter was not Yue Zhongqi's guidance, but it was also caused by him, and there were so many people who supported him, it was definitely not a good thing for the lord of the world, how could the people's will and the will of the people let a courtier take it away?
Finally, in a conquest, because Yue Zhongqi's subordinates made mistakes and caused the imperial court's army to suffer defeat, Yongzheng wrote a letter reprimanding him, and there was no punishment at this time, but the officials who tried to pull down Yue Zhongqi found that the jun was unpredictable, and it was not so simple to pass.
Because the initial disposal of Nian Qianyao was also a step-by-step recovery of his power and then disposed of, Ortai and others obeyed the emperor's wishes and wrote to impeach Yue Zhongqi's faults, so that they could not only pull down their political enemies but also win the emperor's favor. Even later, Yue Zhongqi was taken into custody, and the military department also dealt with it on a very serious crime, and the sentence was a beheading sentence, but Yongzheng left him a life.
Some people think that Yongzheng Gu Nian's courtiers have worked hard for many years, but the emperor can even ignore his own brothers, like Nian Qianyao and Long Keduo, who helped him ascend to the throne, can be left behind, let alone a deputy general.
Yue Zhongqi's crime was because of the mistakes of his subordinates and as for the defeat of the battle, in the final analysis, it was a person who was not strict with his subordinates, and said that it was a big crime, and when the time came, it would be impossible to convince the public if he really sentenced him to a decision. Moreover, Yue Zhongqi calmed down many wars, and his prestige as a victorious general did not come overnight, and when the time came, it would make the people below feel that a small matter could make a big fuss, and it would chill the hearts of the courtiers.
In addition, the forces in the imperial court are often coexisting with multiple shares, if Yue Zhongqi is suppressed at once, then another part will rise up in line with the trend, which will definitely cause an imbalance in the forces between the parties of the imperial court, and Yongzheng mainly needs Yue Zhongqi to contain Ortai and others, so as to maintain this balance.
Therefore, Yue Zhongqi will be reduced in power, but his talent and experience in leading the army are still obvious to all, and it can be reactivated one day, which is also the focus of the art of trade-off.
