John Tong was a foreign missionary. He made many contributions to China, he helped the Ming Dynasty cast artillery, revised the calendar for the Qing Dynasty, and was finally executed by Kangxi Lingchi, why did he usher in such an ending?
In the fifth year of the Kangxi Dynasty, Yang Guangxian, a new security official, wrote a fallacy and a choice proposal, denouncing tang John's new law ten fallacies.
The direct reason for Tang Ruowang's sentencing to Ling Chi was that he was accused by Yang Guangxian. Yang Guangxian's tactics were very clever, and he always used John Tang's status as a missionary to make a fuss about his ulterior motives in implementing the new calendar. As for the calendar he compiled, it lasted only two hundred years, and was also framed as a curse that the Qing Dynasty could not last long.
Prince Xuanrong's burial period does not use the five elements of zheng, but instead uses the five elements of Hong Fan, and the mountain is forbidden to kill in the years and months, and the crime is serious.
In addition, Through the Five Elements of Hong Fan, Tang Ruowang determined the burial time of Prince Rong, the son of Concubine Dong. Three years after Prince Rong's death, Concubine Dong and Emperor Shunzhi died of smallpox infection.
Yang Guangxian naturally would not let go of any opportunity to fall into the well. He downplayed the contagiousness of smallpox and instead associated Shunzhi with Dong Efei and Tang Ruowang. He claimed to the outside world that John Tang did not calculate according to the positive five elements, which is why he would cause these disasters. People at that time were very superstitious, and John Tang was indeed a little imprecise in doing things, so he would suffer from these disasters.
In the eighth year of the Kangxi Dynasty, Shang yibai formed a party specialty, did not think about reform, issued an edict to count his crimes, and ordered the king to arrest and punish him.
John Tang was nominally executed by Kangxi's defector Ling Chi, but the person who really gave the order should be Ao Bai. The emperor had little power in his hands before the eighth year of the Kangxi Dynasty, and at that time the court was still the world of worship. John Tang was already dead when Kangxi was five years old, so it was not Kangxi who wanted to execute him, but Aobai.
This speculation is not empty, in fact, there is a lot of evidence that John Tang was killed by Ao Bai. For example, Yang Guangxian, who has always targeted Tang Ruowang, is Aobai's henchman. He is very arrogant when doing things, which shows that there must be someone behind him to support him. As for who the person who supported him really is, I believe it is self-evident.
Emperor Zhuang Lie, knowing that Xifa Guomi, wanted to change the Great Unification Technique accordingly, but he died before he could do it.
During the time when John Tang was wronged, everyone's reaction was particularly uniform, that is, silence. The reason why no one has done justice for John Tang is that on the one hand, he is afraid of Aobai, and on the other hand, it is because John Tang was of great help to the Ming Dynasty.
The Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty are opposites, and John Tang is a great hero of the Ming Dynasty, so many Qing Dynasty people are more hostile to him.
Just sit back and reuse the new method. When John Tang had died before, he was re-awarded as a micro-teacher and gave a shirt according to the original product.
Over time, Kangxi gradually understood that changing the calendar was necessary. He began to promote the new calendar compiled under the auspices of John Tang throughout the country. Unfortunately, at this time, John Tang had already passed away. In order to make up for the debt, Kangxi helped Tang John rehabilitate. Unfortunately, this approach has little substantive significance.
It is worth mentioning that Kangxi's seizure of power from Aobai and his rehabilitation of John Tang actually occurred in the same year. Kangxi would not easily punch himself in the face. He is willing to rehabilitate John Tang, indicating that it was actually Ao Bai who decided to sentence him to Ling Chi.
