In history, the Qing Dynasty had many honest and upright officials, and during the reign of the Yongzheng Emperor, there were even more ministers like this two-sleeved qingfeng, but few people knew the specific things related to them, and the one that Xiaobian wants to talk about today is a very representative prince! So who is he? Don't think about it, it must be a kiss!
Relatively speaking, the origin of the Niu Cobalt Lu clan can indeed be said to be very prominent, his grandfather was the Kangxi Emperor's most valued attendant Shu Bilong during his lifetime, and his daughter was also very famous, was Xuan Ye's third empress Xiao Zhaoren, from the perspective of his various special connections with the imperial family, he was not only a courtier with a carefree life, but also a courtier who was extremely favored by the emperor!
In the eleventh year of Yin Chan's reign, Ne Qin was ordered to serve in the Military Aircraft Department, and after three years he was appointed as an auxiliary minister, which was a great honor, but he did not expect that just when everyone thought that he could go smoothly, later Qing Shizong felt that he was incompetent enough to let Zhang Tingyu and others take his place.
Immediately after Qianlong ascended to the throne, Hongli reused him again for the sake of Niu Cobalt Lu's loyal vassals, and then gave him two official titles, namely the commander-in-chief of Manchuria and the minister of internal affairs, and then he began to help Emperor Gaozong of Qing handle government affairs.
It wasn't long before the emperor watched him work diligently, and two years later he was appointed to the posts of Shoshu of the Military Department and minister of military aircraft. So within a few years, he became one of the most powerful ministers with the greatest potential to be overweight. Perhaps because he was born into a royal family and lived a carefree life, he never embezzled anything in his life.
In general, whether it was in the early stages when he was only working as a royal bodyguard in the palace, or in the later period, the imperial power had reached a peak period, he had never had any corrupt behavior, but was extremely clean and was a model for all courtiers to learn! At that time, there was another thing, that is, in order to avoid other officials from giving him gifts, he also specially tied a large Tibetan mastiff outside the palace, and many courtiers did not dare to visit him again to pay bribes!
However, although it is true that he can be said to be very honest and diligent as a minister, he also has a very fatal flaw in him and is very timid and afraid! At the beginning, he actually held the military power of the Zhengbai Banner in his hand, but unfortunately he never appeared on the battlefield, not even in any battle, and it was not until the thirteenth year of Hongli's reign that Qianlong took him to start his first battle.
At that time, Emperor Gaozong of the Qing Dynasty appointed Ne Qin as the leader of the army to lead the troops to calm the war, but he did not expect his next move to make the emperor feel particularly disappointed, mainly because the Niu Cobalt Lu clan had not won a victory in the months of the war of resistance! Later, after his subordinates informed the emperor, he realized that he was only letting his soldiers fight him out of fear of death, while he himself was hiding in the tent camp.
Later, after some consideration, Qianlong believed that although Ne Qin was an honest official, this fatal cowardly shortcoming in his body led to the defeat and serious damage of the Qing army, and finally the emperor could only choose to execute him under pressure! I have to say that as the most trusted and important minister in the Great Qing Dynasty, I was so afraid of things, no wonder I would eventually be killed!
