His son was dismissed from his post and exiled, his wife was reduced to slavery, and he himself was imprisoned for life. The emperor's uncle ended tragically.
After Roncodo's grandfather Tong Tulai entered the customs with the Qing army, he conquered various places and made great achievements in battle, serving as a general of Dingnan and a waiter of the Ceremonial Department, and was honored to the rank of viscount of the third class, and after his death, he was posthumously awarded the title of duke of the first class. Long keduo's aunt married the Shunzhi Emperor and was kangxi's mother. Long Keduo's father, Tong Guowei, was not only Kangxi's uncle, but also Kangxi's father-in-law, and he accompanied Kangxi on three occasions in his crusade against Kaldan, and he was quite successful in battle. One of Longkeduo's older sisters and one younger sister were Empress and Noble Concubine of Kangxi, respectively. Not only that, at that time, the Tong family had many officials in the dynasty, and even occupied "half of the country", so it was called "Tong Half Dynasty".
In 1688, Longkodo became a first-class bodyguard at Kangxi's side, which is considered the beginning of Longkodo's rise. As for what Roncodo had done before, the date of birth, etc., there was no way to verify it. Some people say that Wei Xiaobao in "Deer Ding" was created by Mr. Jin Yong based on Roncodo. If this is the case, it is highly likely that Roncodo was one of the young wrestlers that Kangxi trained to deal with the whole worship, and played an important role in the process of catching the worship.
Longkodo's time as a first-class bodyguard was not long, and he was soon promoted to the position of Luan Yi envoy and deputy governor of Mongolia under the Blue Banner. In 1705, "because his subordinates violated the law and acted illegally", Kangxi severely reprimanded Long Keduo, believing that he was "unrealistic". Roncodo was dismissed from his post and "walked on first-class guards". In 1711, Roncodo was given the post of commander of the infantry. The commander of the infantry was responsible for maintaining the security of the capital, and the weight was great, and only the emperor's confidants could serve. It can be seen that Kangxi has great trust in him. Talents can serve. It can be seen that Kangxi has great trust in him.
In 1720, he was promoted by Kangxi to the position of Shangshu of the Li Dynasty and at the same time supervised the post of commander of the infantry army. Outside of Longkodo's residency, Kangxi also sent him on secret missions. At that time, the crown prince was deposed and imprisoned in an empty house with the eldest brother, and Long Keduo was responsible for monitoring the movements of the two and reporting secretly to Kangxi. Not only that, but the imperial relatives and ministers in the capital were also under his surveillance, and as soon as there was any disturbance, he immediately reported to Kangxi. At this time, Longkeduo was loyal to his duties and was repeatedly rewarded by Kangxi.
Roncodo was intelligent and capable, and he was favored by Kangxi. When Kangxi died, he remained with Kangxi except for many brothers. He played an important role in determining who would succeed to the throne.
Judging the situation, Long Keduo proceeded from his own interests and decisively chose to support the fourth prince Yin Chan as emperor, and thus became Yin Chan's important subject.
Yongzheng was able to ascend to the throne, relying on Nian Tangyao, who held military power, and on the inside, with the support of Roncodo. Yongzheng had great trust in these two men and gave them heavy posts respectively. Roncodo became one of the four ministers of the Prime Minister's Affairs, and Yongzheng even directly called him uncle, which was unparalleled.
Gradually, Longkodo was proud of his achievements and formed a party without authorization. Yongzheng became alarmed by this and began to consciously suppress Ronkodo, first removing him from his post as commander of the infantry. In 1725, Nian Qianyao fell, and Yongzheng seized this opportunity to "cut off the Title of Taibao" on the grounds that he had befriended and protected Nian Qianyao; in 1727, the Ministry of Punishment impeached him for embezzlement and perverted the law, accepted 802 gold and 42,200 silver from Nian Qianyao, and proposed that he be beheaded.
Yongzheng thought that Ronkodo still had something to offer, exonerated him from the capital offense, stripped Shangshu of his post, and sent him to deal with the demarcation of the border with Tsarist Russia. In this matter, Roncodo, regardless of his own situation, did his best to negotiate with Tsarist Russia, insisting that Tsarist Russia return all the land it had occupied. Although he had the selfish intention to curry favor with Yongzheng, this patriotic heart of fighting for every inch of land and safeguarding territorial integrity was still worthy of respect.
However, Yongzheng no longer trusted him. In the autumn of 1727, Yongzheng arrested him and sent him back to Beijing. On the issue of Sino-Russian negotiations, other representatives of the Qing government began to compromise and back down, and signed the Treaty of Brunsch. The Russians thought it was a victory for themselves, and the reason for the victory was that Roncodo was taken away.
After Roncodo returned to Beijing, Yongzheng threw him in prison on forty-one counts. In the end, Yongzheng "avoided his Fa-rectification and built three houses outside Changchun Garden, forever imprisoned." Roncodo's property was confiscated, his son was dismissed from his post and exiled, and his wife was reduced to slavery.
In 1728, Roncodo died in captivity in anger. His life began with dignitaries and ended with his wife, which made people sigh.
