Nian Tangyao was a young man who was highly regarded by Kangxi, and before the age of thirty, he became a feudal official in charge of the side, and then stationed at the border guard, repeatedly quelling rebellions, and there was no disadvantage. After Yongzheng succeeded to the throne, he relied more heavily on him, and he was appointed as the general of Fuyuan, in charge of all military and political affairs in the northwest, which was simply the second emperor at that time, and the officers and soldiers in the northwest had reached the point where they only knew Nian Xiangyao and did not know Yongzheng, and those who had made great achievements in ancient times did not have a good end, nian Qianyao thought that he would break this strange circle, did not know convergence, and caused Yongzheng's jealous suppression.
Yongzheng initially just wanted to punish Nian Qianyao, but the degraded Nian Qianyao was still so arrogant, Yongzheng only hurt the killer, if it is said that the gong gao zhen lord and the arrogant thing are the cause of Nian Qianyao's guilt, then not understanding Yongzheng is the cause of his death.
Perhaps we can explore one or two from the resume of Nian Qianyao, Nian Qianyao was a jinshi of Kangxi for thirty-nine years, and then promoted many times, Kangxi forty-eight years as the governor of Sichuan, in charge of Sichuan's political affairs, the reused Nian Tangyao did not live up to the emperor's grace, during the reign of honesty and self-purification, rectification of the bureaucracy, Sichuan is a thriving scene, at that time Nian Qianyao deeply felt the emperor's grace, conscientious work, determined to be a clean and good official.
In the following years, Nian Qianyao has been busy resisting the invasion of foreign tribes, defending the tranquility of Sichuan, Tibet and even the Qing Dynasty, from non-staff personnel to logistics to military leaders, Nian Qianyao used his strength to get the recognition and reliance of Kangxi, with solid military achievements in exchange for high-ranking officials Houlu, Kangxi sixty years, promoted to the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, the Kangxi Emperor personally gave him a bow and arrow, ordered him to stick to the frontier.
The Kangxi Emperor pursued benevolent government all his life, Nian Qianyao was gradually grown up under his tolerance and trust, Nian Qianyao has always been grateful for the Kangxi Emperor's kindness, of course, at that time he also had the momentum and frankness of young people to pursue their own values, so he did not seek pleasure, single-mindedly made meritorious contributions to the imperial court, and during the Kangxi reign, his performance was remarkable. But he also made a mistake, a cognitive mistake, a mistake that affected the second half of his life, that is, he firmly remembered the kindness of the Kangxi Emperor, and even if he did something wrong, he would be forgiven.
Yongzheng also admired Nian Qianyao, or because he saw that Nian Qianyao was in the limelight and had the heart to win over, when he was in the submerged residence, he accepted Nian Qianyao's own sister Nian Shi as a side room, and after ascending the throne, he was named a noble concubine, and the harem status was second only to the empress.
Yongzheng attached great importance to this eldest brother-in-law, and made him a great general in Fuyuan, commanding the officials of the western provinces, in charge of all military and political affairs in the western region, Nian Qianyao made a surprise move, quelled the rebellion of Luobuzang Danjin in Qinghai, and stabilized the border of the Qing Dynasty.
However, where the blessings and misfortunes lie, nian tangyao who is flourishing in the scenery has a lot of say in Yongzheng, and the appointment of officials is only recommended by Nian Qianyao, and Yongzheng is not inaccurate; as long as the affairs of the court are Nian Qianyao's opinions, Yongzheng does not listen to them. In this situation, all the civil and military officials rushed to tie the knot to Nian Tangyao, and at that time there was also a "nian election", that is, the door of the Nian Xiangyao, the official selected by the Nian Tangyao, after which they could fly Huang Tengda, and the court was like this, and in the border army, it was even more important to take the Nian Xiangyao horse as the leader, and the nian xiangyao's order was much better than the Yongzheng holy will.
These Yongzheng all know, but cherish his talents, the border matters need to rely on him, and he will turn a blind eye.
Speaking of the young Tang Yao at this time, when people reach middle age, they are not the young generals who were just starting out, they are already famous all over the world, and they are admired by tens of thousands of people, and their mentality has changed greatly, they are keen on accumulating wealth and enjoying, forming parties for personal gain, and they are proud of their own merits and blessings, which have aroused public resentment, and they also have the mentality of trusting the big, under the praise of the world, he also feels that he is an irreplaceable hero, a pillar of the Qing Dynasty, a benefactor of Yongzheng, and he deserves to enjoy all this, probably since ancient times, the masters of high merit are all this mentality, and finally they were destroyed. This is the big reason for the tragedy of Nian Tangyao.
Another point, he misestimated Yongzheng, the two have always had a good personal relationship, Yongzheng also showed great respect for Nian Qianyao, the major events in the DPRK listened to his opinions, so that Nian Qianyao had an illusion, we are friends, are brothers, no matter what they do, Yongzheng will allow, even if it is wrong, Yongzheng will tolerate himself like Kangxi, but Yongzheng is not Kangxi, Yongzheng governs not by benevolence but by iron wrists, when you Nian Xiangyao is a hero, I can let it go, if you endanger my rule, cause trouble to my country, It is also necessary to clean up after you with a black face.
However, Yongzheng still took into account his former feelings, and when he began to suppress him, he also left room for maneuver, but Nian Qianyao did not understand what Yongzheng had in mind, insisted on his pride, continued to do his own thing, and persistently believed that Yongzheng would not let the heroes and brothers fall to the ground, and as a result, they ended up with the fate of the family being destroyed.
