In 1725, when Nian Qianyao learned that he was going to be beheaded, he simply gave the pregnant concubine to a down-and-out talent, and specially told the child to have the surname "Sheng" after birth.
Nian Qianyao, a famous general in the past, once had infinite scenery and extraordinary majesty, and the ups and downs of fate made him fall from 10,000 people to the abyss. In the face of the court's questioning, he had already seen the general trend, and there was only endless sadness left in his heart.
Nian Qianyao was originally a graceful general, but at this moment, he has become a decadent old man, losing his former glory and majesty. In order to protect his own blood and bones, he entrusted his confidant master and used all his strength to protect the pregnant concubine.
This master and Nian Qianyao have been together for many years, and the deep friendship between the two has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. He is not a hero who has sprung up, but a literati who has lived in the study for many years.
Nian Qianyao has always relied heavily on his talents and conduct, and entrusted him with many internal and external affairs. Now, Nian Qianyao has once again entrusted the heavy responsibility to his master, which is actually a kind of dying friend.
Master didn't expect that the name of the Quartet would have today's downfall. When Nian Qianyao summoned him that day, he was already gray-haired, with a stiff waist and back, and he was very haggard.
The master was saddened by what happened to Nian Qianyao, and blamed himself for not being able to escape. Nian Qianyao didn't mention himself at all, kneeling on the ground and begging the master to take care of the concubine and the unborn child.
Nian Qianyao just wanted to preserve this last bit of flesh and blood, and asked the master to change his name and surname and hide his traces. Choosing a name for an incognito child is really a problem, and the master made a difficulty.
After hearing this, Nian Qianyao was calm, and suggested changing his surname to "Sheng", which means that he hopes that the child will grow up safely and recognize his ancestors in the future. Although the master was puzzled, he still agreed.
Nian Qianyao firmly believes that he is not guilty, but he is just a big move. He only hopes that the latecomers will make a clear judgment and be wronged as soon as possible. After making up his mind, he took out the savings and divided it into two halves, half of which belonged to the master and the other half for emergencies.
The master tried to comfort Nian Qianyao and tell him that maybe Renjun would be kind to him, but Nian Qianyao just shook his head and sighed: "You can't understand him." Faced with an unchangeable fate, Nian Qianyao has completely let go and let fate sway.
After explaining the aftermath, Nian Qianyao detailed the whereabouts of the original wife. She has been sent out of the mansion, and the current "wife" is just a stand-in. He had long been prepared for such a harsh punishment from the imperial court.
The master tearfully agreed to Nian Qianyao's request and vowed to protect this last hope. And Nian Qianyao seemed to have fallen into the abyss, stunned in place, thinking about the ups and downs he had experienced in his life.
In the end, Nian Qianyao was beheaded in the imperial city. But his son survived and was able to grow up under the protection of his master. In the Qianlong Dynasty, this unjust case was finally revealed, and Nian Qianyao's exploits were also fully affirmed. The man is gone, but the spirit is eternal, which is the precious legacy he left to future generations.
