In the later years of the Kangxi Emperor, the famous nine sons of the Kangxi Emperor took place in history; in the end, this battle for imperial power in the court ended with the fourth master Yin Rong ascending to the throne.
As the saying goes: a dynasty of heavenly sons and a courtier, yongzheng who became the emperor, naturally began to cultivate his own cronies; cleaned up the ministers left by the previous emperor; among these ministers, the most famous of these ministers was that Yongzheng promoted Li Wei and got rid of Nian Tangyao!
Among them, when Nian Qianyao was at his peak, he was already the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi and the general of Yuanfu, but nian Qianyao's ending was also the most tragic! He was dismissed by Yongzheng little by little, and finally forced to die! So why did Nian Qianyao, who had a heavy army, not resist in the face of Yongzheng's oppression and persecution?
Nian Qianyao was born in the 18th year of the Kangxi Dynasty, was a full-fledged second-generation official, and his father was an official to Huguang; born in such a eunuch family, Nian Qianyao had a very favorable learning environment since childhood.
Since entering the career at the age of 21, Nian Qianyao's promotion path has been very smooth, and he was a well-known Qing official in Sichuan when he was young, so he also received verbal praise from the Kangxi Emperor!
In the following decades, Tang Yao has been steadily fighting in Sichuan, taking deep roots in the grassroots, and laying a good personal relationship; in these years in Sichuan, because there are often chaotic armies in Xikang and Qinghai; Nian Qianyao led the army to quell the chaos and made meritorious achievements, ushered in the highlight moment of life, and was promoted to the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi!
However, in the sixtieth year of Kangxi's reign, nian Qianyao, who had just been promoted to governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, encountered the arrival of the new Tianzi. The newly arrived Yongzheng Emperor did not open a knife to Nian Qianyao, because at this time there was another rebellion in Qinghai, and he also needed this land snake who had been in Sichuan and Shaanxi for decades to help quell the rebellion!
When the Qinghai Lobzang Tenjin Rebellion was put down, Yongzheng unsurprisingly began to clean up nian tang yao! From the perspective of the Yongzheng Emperor, it was inevitable to clean up Nian Qianyao, because Nian Qianyao was a Han Chinese, and had been rooted in Sichuan and Shaanxi for decades, not only had great prestige but also held military power in his hands; at this time, if Nian Qianyao, who was more than 40 years old, stayed in Sichuan for another 20 years, he would have to pay it! (After all, Yongzheng is already dead after 20 years) Who can suppress Nian Tangyao?
epilogue:
Nian Qianyao did not resist in the face of Yongzheng's cleaning up at that time, in fact, there was a reason! First, Yongzheng cleaned up nian tangyao at the beginning with soft cleaning! First transfer Nian Qianyao away from his old lair, Sichuan, where Yongzheng is very clever, and uses a method of pretending to be promoted, but in fact stripping power!
He transferred Nian Qianyao from the viceroy of Sichuan and Shaanxi in Zhengerpin to Hangzhou as a general and became a consort. Yongzheng played a careful trick and transferred you from remote Sichuan to rich Hangzhou. You're not going to be reluctant to be a great general, are you?
Under such an arrangement, Nian Tangyao could only eat a dumb loss, and it seemed that he had reached the rich Jiangnan, but in fact he had lost his real power in Sichuan and Shaanxi. But Nian Qianyao had to go again, not to go is against the holy will, Yongzheng will still give him a hat and wear small shoes!
Second, when Yongzheng was cleaning up Nian Tangyao, no one supported him except his base camp in Sichuan. Because Nian Qianyao's popularity in the official field was too poor, he had made many achievements in the battlefield for so many years, and he was red-eyed by the officials of the DPRK and China; when Yongzheng, the new heavenly son, wanted to overthrow Nian Qianyao, Nian Qianyao was facing the situation of being pushed by everyone on the wall!
Therefore, when Yongzheng was cleaning up Nian Tangyao, Nian Qianyao only had one way not to take up the post of Grand General of Hangzhou and directly stand on his own in Sichuan and Shaanxi!
