Because Yongzheng needed such a victory, even if it was slightly against the etiquette system from the ceremony, he would turn a blind eye.
Before the great victory in the northwest of Nian Tangyao, Yongzheng's ruling power had already reached the extreme -- promoting Nuomin to collect the arrears, only to find that Nuomin had deceived the king; conducting a big examination of Enke, but there were leaks and entrainments, and the deputy chief examiner Zhang Tinglu was therefore dismissed; the northwestern Luobuzang Tenzin rebelled, and forcefully selected the Han general Nian Qianyao as a general to go out on the expedition, and as a result, the treasury had been hollowed out, and there was no news of victory.
At this time, not only his tiger and wolf brothers were staring at him, but all the courtiers and people all over the world were staring at him, wanting to see where this new cold-faced king wanted to take this country.
But at this moment, the news of the Great Victory in the Northwest came. The external troubles had been solved, Yongzheng wept with joy, and finally he could free his hands to rectify the bureaucracy and implement the new policy, and his throne was completely secured with this great victory.
Can you say that Yongzheng can not be happy? Of course happy. Therefore, he said in the edict with some arrogance: Tell Nian Tangyao to enter Beijing, tell them to see, and let everyone in the world see!
What to see? Of course, to see how the victorious Nian Qianyao is, he just wants the people of the world to see that as long as he is loyal to himself and becomes famous, he can get favor and reward.
Under such a tone, the ceremony of Nian Tangyao entering Beijing is naturally pompous. Not only did hundreds of officials greet them in front of the Zhengyang Gate, but they also sent the Prime Minister Wang And chancellor and Prince Yin yu of Lian to preside over the ceremony, which was naturally approved by Yongzheng and was also very willing to see by Yongzheng. Yongzheng just wanted these princes and ministers who looked like him to see, and following him Yongzheng was dragging.
Therefore, even if Yin Yu made up his own mind to kneel down to greet him, Yongzheng might have just opened his eyes and closed his eyes and passed, and there may still be some joy in his heart: You give me a trip every day, don't you still kneel at the feet of the lowly slaves of Yuan? Look what cattle you still have!
However, after all, Yin Yu had violated his will and violated the etiquette system, and Yongzheng was at the head of the city, and he would not fail to see this scene. It is also inappropriate to pursue this matter on the spot, so why not pursue it afterwards? Couldn't he see that Yin Yu had the idea of provoking a relationship?
Here, Yongzheng may have also left a heart eye, testing Nian Qianyao with this act of violating etiquette. After all, when he was in the submerged residence, Nian Qianyao had repeatedly gone to and fro with the Eighth Master, and Yongzheng used various means to threaten, suppress, and win him over, and his fox tail was temporarily hidden.
But now, Nian Qianyao has achieved great success in the northwest, and gradually begins to be proud of his achievements, pampered and proud. While Yongzheng was happy, he also realized that Nian Qianyao's power was expanding and he was in urgent need of elimination. Therefore, it is not excluded that Yongzheng will push the boat along the water and use Yin Yu's violation of etiquette to test Nian Qianyao's attitude so that he can respond in the future.
As a result, Nian Qianyao did not even care about the etiquette system, rode on a high-headed horse, and accepted the kneeling greeting of hundreds of officials with great swagger, until Yongzheng walked out of the city gate to greet him, and he only got off his horse. Presumably, although Yongzheng had a smile on his face at this time, he had already skimmed a trace of yin in his heart. The subsequent incident of armor removal made the contradiction between Yongzheng and Nian Qianyao public.
