When we often mention some historical figures, we always mention their circumstances and developments in their lives. Some people are very lucky and are appreciated by the Bole people, while others are somewhat unfortunate and have not received any good treatment in their lives. The figure we want to talk about today is Yue Zhongqi, who has made great achievements for the country in his life, but he was rejected by the Yongzheng Emperor, and even degraded to a commoner during the Qianlong Emperor.
Since Yin Yu was assigned to guard the imperial tomb, coupled with the death of the great general Nian Qianyao, the general who could get his hands on it at that time should mention Yue Zhongqi. Yue Zhongqi was a descendant of Yue Fei, born into a family of military generals, whose father was a famous military general of the Qing Dynasty. Later, in order to enter the career path, Yue Zhongqi bought an alternate official position at his own expense, but after waiting for three years, there was still no sign of taking office. At that time, the war was raging, so Yue Zhongqi embarked on the same path as his father, from the army to the battlefield, determined to realize his own ambitions.
In the third year of Yongzheng, the emperor obviously began to suppress nian tangyao's sphere of influence, and finally gave nian tangyao death in the last breath. The position of Governor of Shaanxi was taken over by Yue Zhongqi. At that time, Yue Zhongqi experienced the most brilliant period of his life, and the road of career showed a good situation, not only being promoted by the ranks, but also mastering greater military power.
But for Yongzheng, after all, he believes in centralized power, and from the lessons of Nian Qianyao, Yongzheng deeply appreciates the importance of centralized power. Although yue Zhongqi was heavy at the beginning, he still had a mustard heart. Because Yue Zhongqi was a descendant of Yue Fei, he had Han Chinese blood and was often co-opted by anti-Qing forces. Although Yue Zhongqi also showed his loyalty to Yongzheng, Yongzheng's trust in Yue Zhongqi had fallen to the bottom. At this time, Yue Zhongqi's safety has been greatly reduced.
Later, due to the influence of Zeng Jing and other traitors, Yongzheng's suspicion of Yue Zhongqi reached a new saturation height, and soon Yue Zhongqi was relegated to the prison of the Punishment Department. Because Yue Zhongqi himself did not have the intention of rebellion, he stayed in prison for two years without being sentenced accordingly, and was later demoted by Yongzheng to beheading. After Qianlong ascended to the throne, Qianlong was not confused by jealousy, remembering Yue Zhongqi's many years of meritorious service in protecting the country, and if he punished at will, it might cause a certain degree of people's discouragement. So yue Zhongqi was demoted to a commoner, and Yue Zhongqi was allowed to return to his hometown by himself and retire alone.
In his life, Yue Zhongqi experienced a brilliant period, and later fell to the bottom in the midst of the moon in the hearts of the people, and can only be said that his life was not opportune, and he met a leader who could not fully trust him. Overall, Yue Zhongqi is still a person who has made great contributions to the country, and has been working hard to realize his ambitions on the road of military service for many years, which may be the power of fate.
