In the TV series "Yongzheng Dynasty", Nian Qianyao is a very complex character. From the very beginning, he was a clothed slave of the Four Brothers, and with his own strength and Yongzheng's recommendation, he went all the way to the clouds. After Yongzheng ascended the throne, Nian Qianyao became the general of Fuyuan, holding hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands, and quelled the rebellion of Robzang Tenzin in Qinghai.
At this time, Nian Qianyao could be described as a high-ranking and powerful person, and he could even dismiss the officials of the imperial court with a single word. Especially after he put down the rebellion, he was even more satisfied and held a high position of authority. When Nian Qianyao returned to Beijing, Yongzheng ordered the hundred officials to kneel to greet him, and he actually rode over on his horse triumphantly, not paying any attention to the other officials. At that time, Nian Qianyao had hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands, why didn't he pull the flag to rebel, but obediently tie his hands and capture it? Didn't he know that after he was removed from his post as The Great General of Fuyuan, he was about to suffer a catastrophe?
Nian Qianyao was a loyal minister who had no intention of rebelling against Yongzheng at all. Although Nian Qianyao was arrogant and arrogant, had no one in sight, and used his power as a blessing, he was indeed a loyal courtier. During the Kangxi Dynasty, he showed his loyalty to the Qing Dynasty and loyalty to the emperor. In 1709, when Kangxi made an exception to his choice, Nian Qianyao was grateful to Shu Zero, and from then on he was determined to "be blessed with a fool and a fool in three lifetimes", and he did, which has been explained above and will not be repeated.
People who are familiar with history know that in the later period of the Kangxi dynasty, the repertoire of the nine sons and concubines was staged, and finally Yongzheng sat on the throne of the emperor. In the imperial court, Yongzheng's brothers, The Eight Brothers, formed a party against Yongzheng, but Nian Qianyao did not collude with any party that opposed Yongzheng in the imperial court, but drew a clear line and was loyal to the emperor. Judging from the deeds of Nian Qianyao through the two dynasties, none of them were done for the sake of the stability of the position of the emperor of the dynasty, and he had no second heart for the monarch, even if he had a heavy army, he did not have the heart to rebel.
Ten thousand steps back, even if Nian Qianyao was forced to rebel, it would eventually end in failure. Although Nian Qianyao held heavy troops in his hands and made countless achievements in battle, he should not forget that the soldiers and horses did not move, and the grain and grass went first. Hundreds of thousands of troops, how much grain to consume every day, with the economic strength of the annual soup Yao can last for a few days? Unless Nian Qianyao can take down Yongzheng with lightning speed, it will be self-inflicted. Besides, if Nian Qianyao rebelled, how many people would follow him? When Yong Zheng began to attack him fiercely, he replaced the cronies he could rely on, in order to prevent them from colluding and resisting.
