Nian Qianyao and Li Wei were both people from the Sticky Pole of the Fourth Brother Yinchen Palace, and before they became famous, the two were friends who often drank and played together. Who would have thought that both of them would later develop with the development of the four brothers, nian Qianyao's officials became the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, the great general Wang, and Li Wei also became the governor of Liangjiang and Shangshu.
What no one can imagine is that the fate of these two people is completely different, one is in a different place, and the other is also extremely glorious after death. History is a mirror, it often gives us wisdom, but unfortunately, there are still countless people who continue to repeat the tragedy of nian xiangyao.
Yongzheng
First, Nian Qianyao was able to become the King of the Great Generals, not all by relying on the four brothers Yin Chan, but also thanks to the intrigue between several brothers who had taken the concubine of the Ninth Son, so his loyalty to Yin Chan was a bit half-hearted; this was the root of his later tragedies.
1. Nian Qianyao first took sides in the political line of the problem.
Among the nine sons of Kangxi, Lao Ba was originally the most promising one, then known as the Eight Sages, and had a broad base of support in both the government and the public.
The shrewd Old Eighth vigorously recommended Nian Qianyao as the Viceroy of Sichuan; and then arranged for the Elder Fourteen to recommend Nian Qianyao as the Governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi. This chess game is really good, on the one hand, digging up the old fourth people to weaken the old fourth, on the other hand, thickly planting their own strength, addition and subtraction are calculated together.
The crux of the matter
Nian Qianyao, as the fourth elder, he should not have accepted the recommendation of the eighth and fourteenth elders, but he accepted; even if he accepted it, he had not yet reported to the fourth elder in time.
Nian Qianyao was decisive and vicious in killing, and he was a good hand at leading soldiers
2. Pampering and arrogance, flying high, forming a party to abuse power, being good at doing prestige, not knowing how to keep a low profile and not strengthening political literacy, this is the inevitable fate of his tragic end.
Yongzheng came to power, not without giving Nian Qianyao a chance.
However, the greater the great general Wang Nianqianyao's military achievements, the more he became pampered and arrogant, and he flew high; he also formed a party and arbitrarily recommended officials and was good at making a fortune; he was arrogant and lascivious, and there was no one to pay tribute before the king.
Second, a different Li Wei, always willing to be a loyal slave.
Compared with Nian Qianyao, Li Wei, who started late, has been following Yongzheng. As Yongzheng became emperor, Li Wei also ascended to heaven with a small chicken and a small dog, from a small follower to the governor of Liangjiang.
Li Wei
The reason why Li Wei is valued by Yongzheng, I think there are three main factors:
1. He was a capable minister, and during his tenure as governor of Liangjiang, the large amount of money gathered for Yongzheng ensured the logistical needs of the northwest to use troops, which was the first merit.
2. In Li Wei's eyes, there is only one Person in Yongzheng, and as long as any other person has something illegal and disloyal, Li Wei dares to risk death to report it, which is another fundamental practice of maintaining the Yongzheng Dynasty.
3. During his reign, he was able to perceive the sufferings of the people and was deeply loved by the people.
Of course, he also did a lot of dirty work for the emperor that no one knew, but he never said it, which made the emperor deeply reassured.
How could such a red and dedicated courtier not be reused?
In the third year of Qianlong, Li Wei died of illness, and the Qianlong Emperor ordered that he be given a sacrifice burial according to the governor's routine.
3. Yongzheng
Giving death to Nian Tangyao, he actually let Li Wei supervise, did he have the intention of warning Li Wei in it? I think there is.
What Nian Qianyao did in the position of the Great General King, Yongzheng naturally could not tolerate it all the time.
Therefore, as soon as the war in the northwest ended, the narrow-minded Yongzheng began to manipulate the ministers to write a letter of impeachment to Nian Tangyao, and gradually caught up with his brother-in-law, and finally died in the position of the hangzhou city gate official.
Yongzheng still let Li Wei complete the task of giving death to Nian Yao.
Why did Yongzheng send Li Wei to the year of death?
I think there should be two reasons:
1. Nian Qianyao knew that Yongzheng's secrets were too much, and these could not be leaked out, only Li Wei would not leak them. 2. It is also a positive and negative loyalty education for Li Wei.
Nian Tang Yao
Conclusion: Li Wei and Nian Qianyao are both Yongzheng's courtiers, the two have embarked on different endings, it should be said that Nian Qianyao is completely self-inflicted, And Li Wei's pattern of doing things for people is naturally higher than that of Nian Xiangyao. Sometimes a person's success is not about how strong the individual is and how high the level of education is, but whether you have enough emotional intelligence to determine who your master is and how to deal with the relationship with the master.
