After the end of the Northwest War, Yongzheng's dissatisfaction with Nian Qianyao reached its peak. At that time, Yongzheng hoped that Nian Qianyao would take the initiative to surrender his military power to allow the imperial court to better control the northwest region, but Nian Qianyao repeatedly delayed and refused Yongzheng's request for various reasons. Nian Qianyao's move directly laid the foundation for his later execution by raiders.
Nian Qianyao became a feudal official before he was 30 years old, Nian Qianyao's father once served as an inspector, and Nian Qianyao's sister was Yongzheng's favorite Concubine Nian. However, even with such a family background, nian qianyao still ended up in a tragic end after offending Yongzheng, so how did Yongzheng deal with Nian Qianyao's wife and daughter after Nian Qianyao was executed?
The Nian Tang Yao of Noh Wen Nengwu
Many people believe that Nian Qianyao was a military general. In the TV series, Nian Qianyao is also portrayed as a decisive general, but in fact, the real Nian Qianyao in history can be described as both literary and martial. Nian Qianyao was not a general at the earliest, but entered the imperial court step by step through the imperial examination, and the earliest Nian Qianyao worked in the Hanlin Academy.
Nian Qianyao passed the imperial examination in the 39th year of the Kangxi Dynasty and became a jinshi, and after working in the Hanlin Academy for a few years, Nian Qianyao rose all the way to the top and finally became the inspector of Sichuan. The Qing Dynasty reached the rank of inspector and could be called a feudal official, and ordinary officials had to stay up at least until they were over 40 years old to be eligible to become inspectors, but when Nian Qianyao became the inspector of Sichuan, he was less than 30 years old.
At this time, Nian Qianyao did not lose his mind because of his official position, and repeatedly showed his determination to do a good job to the Kangxi Emperor, and Nian Qianyao did do a lot of practical things in the position of inspector of Sichuan.
A move by the Kangxi Emperor in 48 brought Yongzheng and Nian Qianyao closely together, and Kangxi began to knight his sons. Kangxi's fourth son, Yin Chan, was given the title of Prince of Yong, later known as the Yongzheng Emperor. In addition to giving Yongzheng fields and mansions, Kangxi also distributed some of his troops to Prince Yong to command.
At that time, prince Yong's assigned collar was also the team of the Nian family, and two years later Kangxi pointed out a sister of Nian Qianyao to Yongzheng, which was later very famous as the noble concubine. After Nian Shi married prince Yong, he was given the title of Lateral Fujin, and Nian Qianyao became the eldest brother-in-law of Prince Yong, and it was for these reasons that Nian Qianyao and Yongzheng became more and more closely related.
Pingding Northwest
Prince Yong was very fond of his side Fu JinNian clan, and the TV series portrayed Nian Shi as an arrogant woman who could not be favored by Yongzheng for a lifetime, in fact, in the real history, Nian Clan can be called two words of virtuousness.
Not only was Nian Shi very lenient towards his subordinates, but coupled with the ability of his elder brother Nian Qianyao, he quickly gained a foothold in Prince Yong's palace and became more and more favored. To what extent was the concubine favored at that time? Because the Nian clan was deeply favored by Prince Yong, even his family was upgraded to a yellow flag, to put it bluntly, it was the emperor himself.
When it comes to the merits of Nian Tangyao, many people think of Pingding Northwest, but Pingding Northwest is the turning point of Nian Tangyao's prosperity and decline. What really made Nian Qianyao yang Ming Liwan was to pacify Qinghai, when Nian Qianyao mobilized soldiers and horses from Sichuan, Shaanxi, and Gansu to march directly to Qinghai.
At that time, it was entering winter, which was very unfavorable for the Qing Dynasty's soldiers and horses to fight. So Nian Qianyao ordered the soldiers to camp in Xining. This station was for several months, and although Kangxi was in a hurry, he did not interfere too much because of his trust in Nian Qianyao.
However, there was a windfall in this way, and some tribal generals saw that Qing generals were stationed near them with so many soldiers and horses and wrote to ask for peace. Nian Qianyao concentrated all his forces after the opening of spring to destroy the headquarters of the Lobzang Danjing.
In the end, the pacification of Qinghai won a great victory, and Nian Qianyao flew from then on to Huang Tengda, and Nian Qianyao has also been guarding the northwest since then. The first tricky problem after the Yongzheng Emperor was the Northwest Rebellion.
When Nian Tangyao pacified Qinghai, it took about 150 days, but the overall military expenditure was not particularly large, and the pingding of the northwest was a money-burning war. In order to give himself a stable environment, Yongzheng did not hesitate to spend financial and material resources to support Nian Qianyao to win the war.
Nian Tangyao lived up to expectations, and the Northwest Victory was also the first gift to the Yongzheng Emperor to ascend the throne. The Yongzheng Emperor finally breathed a sigh of relief, but at this time he found that the situation was not right. When Nian Qianyao returned to Beijing to report for duty, the scene was solemn, comparable to the emperor's travels, and all the civil and military officials and ministers went to greet him.
This Yongzheng already had unhappiness in his heart, and some people who did not open their eyes thought that Yongzheng should give Nian Qianyao the title of prince. At that time, Nian Qianyao also brought many soldiers with him when he went to Beijing to receive the reward. The Yongzheng Emperor asked the soldiers to take off their thick armor in order to show their benevolence, but the soldiers remained motionless until Nian Qianyao ordered them to take off their armor to find a place to cool off.
Nian Qianyao's move directly caused Yongzheng to break through the defense, but as the emperor Yongzheng did not show any unhappiness on the surface, but this also laid the foundation for Nian Qianyao's back. Yongzheng was more and more dissatisfied with Nian Qianyao, and coupled with the fact that Nian Guifei had also died, there were naturally no people who could speak for Nian Qianyao.
The Great Victory of the Northwest not only allowed Nian Qianyao to reach the peak of his life, but also became nian Qianyao's lifeblood. In the third year of Yongzheng, Nian Qianyao also found that the situation was not right, and many impeachment of Nian Qianyao appeared on the emperor's desk like snowflakes.
At the behest of Yongzheng, many ministers understood the spirit, especially some ministers who were already dissatisfied with Nian Qianyao, who listed a total of 92 crimes for Nian Qianyao, and Nian Qianyao's life also entered the countdown.
Nian Qianyao was executed
The reckoning of the Yongzheng Emperor had finally begun, and the emperor who had called Nian Qianyao a "benefactor" had now shown his iron-blooded means. Considering the previous situation, Yongzheng also left a whole corpse for Nian Qianyao. After all of Nian Qianyao's titles and official titles were taken away, Yongzheng gave Nian Qianyao to commit suicide.
Nian Qianyao's son Nian Fu was also beheaded. Nian Qianyao's original match was the daughter of Naran Zhide, and later Nian Qianyao married the daughter of Su Yan, the Duke of Fuguo. In addition, at the height of his power, Nian Qianyao took more than eighty concubines back and forth. After Nian Qianyao committed suicide, these female relatives were more or less affected.
Nian Qianyao's second wife was allowed to return to her mother's house after Nian Qianyao was executed. However, the status of ancient women had such an experience at the bottom, and the life in the mother's family was naturally not good, and Nian Qianyao's second wife finally died in the mother's family due to long-term mental tension and pressure.
Some of Nian Qianyao's concubines were betrayed, and some chose to become monks. At that time, Yongzheng also stipulated that his sons over the age of 15 should be exiled to the army. Nian Qianyao's daughter had already said that the in-laws had withdrawn from marriage due to the huge changes in the Nian family, and the women who were divorced naturally had a bad life in ancient times, and finally Nian Qianyao's vein was almost cut off.
summary
Yongzheng still had some affection for the Nian family, and Yongzheng killed Nian Qianyao and some of Nian Qianyao's henchmen, but Nian Qianyao's brother Nian Xiyao was not greatly affected. This is probably also Yongzheng's last kindness to the concubine he once loved.
