Tang Wenyao, the governor of Liangjiang, was a fictional historical figure who was a favorite official of the Yongzheng Emperor in the TV series Li Wei, and a very frugal official of the Yongzheng Dynasty.
However, it was this Tang Wenyao, who was commonly known for frugality, who was still killed by the Yongzheng Emperor.
To say that Tang Wenyao is also a Qing official, the clothes he wears are all patched, except for the official government. Usually, I have not eaten big fish and meat, but I eat cabbage every day.
He gave the impression of a frugal official like Harry.
Why would such an official be killed?
For Tang Wenyao, who was known for his frugality in the court, Yongzheng was also suspicious, even if their income was low, they would not eat cabbage every day.
Yongzheng felt that this person might be acting, not really frugal, and he wanted to expose the true face of this person.
In order to see if he was cheating on his reputation, the Yongzheng Emperor asked Li Wei to find out, of course, Li Wei came to the place where Tang Wenyao was, and he did not ask this question directly. Instead, he went to Tang Wenyao's home and ate stewed Cabbage with Tang Wenyao.
Tang Wenyao was used to eating cabbage, and Li Wei came to change his taste, which was not his style, so they still ate cabbage.
However, Li Wei found that the cabbage of Tang Wenyao's family was different from what he ate on weekdays, and there was a strange fragrance, which seemed to be more umami and delicious than eating meat.
Li Wei couldn't figure out how they made this dish and why they were able to make cabbage such a human delicacy. So, Li Wei rushed to their kitchen to find out?
When Li Wei arrived at their kitchen, he found that there was no other place here. It turns out that the method of making this cabbage is quite luxurious, and it can be said that no one can imagine.
It turns out that the cabbage of Tang Wenyao's family is burned with ginseng as chopped wood, and the strange fragrance emitted by this ginseng in the process of burning can be integrated into the cabbage.
In the kitchen, Li Wei also saw Tang Wenyao's kitchen, where more than 2,000 kilograms of ginseng were stored, and these ginseng were only his family's firewood for a month.
Think about how luxurious it is to use such expensive ginseng as firewood. Obviously, Tang Wenyao was definitely not a clean official, and he was more greedy than ordinary corrupt officials.
Li Wei also met Tang Wenyao's 36-room wife room at their home, and it should be known that the women he married were more than the emperor's concubines.
Tang Wenyao also had various luxury goods, and after Li Wei saw it, he reported the situation to Yongzheng. Of course, Yongzheng was furious and then raided Tang Wenyao's home.
However, the Yongzheng Emperor did not think of killing Tang Wenyao.
However, in the end, Yongzheng ordered Tang Wenyao to be beheaded all over the door, why was this?
It turned out that when Li Wei raided his home, he copied out a small jade pot in Tang Wenyao's house, and Yongzheng liked it very much, and he loved this small pot very much, and Yongzheng also used this small pot to make tea to drink.
Later, Li Wei told Yongzheng that this small pot was Tang Wenyao's night pot. Yongzheng was furious after hearing this, and it was really deceiving people too much. Therefore, he ordered people to cut off Tang Wenyao's house.
So such a thing is a fictional story!
In fact, such a thing is impossible to happen in history, because no one can use ginseng as firewood, knowing that the Qing Dynasty Belle can only get forty pounds of ginseng a year, and the shellfish is only thirty pounds. Tang Wenyao burned 2,000 pounds a month, which was simply impossible, and there were not so many ginseng for him to burn.
There was also that night pot, if Yongzheng really used this to make tea to drink, Li Wei would not dare to say it when he killed him. Therefore, such a thing can only happen in a TV series, and it cannot be a real thing in history.
