Zhang Tingyu is a red person in the "Yongzheng Dynasty" drama and has a high reputation. In the Yongzheng Dynasty, the establishment and operation of the Military Aircraft Department was operated by Zhang Tingyu! It can be seen that the Yongzheng Emperor relies heavily on him!
Zhang Tingyu's bad luck is not the same as the bad luck of He yan, Yan Song and others, Zhang Tingyu is not the result of any factional tilting, infighting within the party of friends, and hatred by the emperor! It has nothing to do with these factors.
Zhang Tingyu served as a senator of the Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong dynasties, and was one of the auxiliary ministers of the Yongzheng Emperor's edict before his death. It was the Yongzheng Emperor who designated on his deathbed that "the meritorious person who deserves to enjoy the Taimiao Temple after death". How dare the Qianlong Emperor not obey his father's will?
In fact, the Qianlong Emperor had always been good to Zhang Tingyu, and although he did not like Zhang Tingyu's style of acting in his heart, he could still endure and try to meet his requirements. Until later, Zhang Tingyu was unlucky, and the Qianlong Emperor did not overthrow him, but still obeyed the will of the former emperor: Zhang Tingyu was allowed to enter the Taimiao Temple to enjoy the sacrifice. This is the highest honor given to the Han by the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty!

Then, why did the Qianlong Emperor punish Zhang Tingyu and confiscate the family property of Zhang Fu (Beijing)?
Is a retired old minister still worth the Qianlong Emperor's efforts to rectify him?
Zhang Tingyu has a famous saying: "Old and rehabilitated." He flaunted that he wanted to "abstain from profit", it should be said that the matter of corruption and bribery had nothing to do with him, what other crime could he commit? Can it also provoke the emperor to order the raid on the house and go to prison for interrogation?
Of course, this is not an ordinary thing, but it stems from a huge case!
First, a good son-in-law will make money
Zhang Tingyu was unlucky, he was burdened by his son-in-law Zhu Quan!
Zhu Quan, a native of Tongxiang, Zhejiang, served as a Beijing official, and in July of the twelfth year of Qianlong, he was appointed as the viceroy of Sichuan (the largest official in charge of education and examinations in Sichuan Province).
Zhu Quan was greedy for money, accepted bribes, and sold the "nine child quotas" (it should be nine places for Xiucai), that is, after collecting money, he let these nine candidates pass the examination.
During his tenure as a student in Sichuan, Zhu Quan tried to earn money, peddled "extracurricular reading materials" to the employees of his subordinate counties, and extorted the "rice silver" of the education staff, which was reported by Yang Duan, a teacher in Chengdu County.
Sichuan Inspector Yushi Chu Lin toe took the lead in impeaching Zhu Quan's various bad deeds.
The Qianlong Emperor received the impeachment medal and issued a decree to the governor of Sichuan, Celen, in May of the fifteenth year of Qianlong: Strict investigation and handling.
If Zhang Tingyu had not retired, it is estimated that the officials of the DPRK and China would still be jealous and would not have worked hard to investigate and deal with it. Now that Zhang Tingyu has retired to his hometown, he has no power and no courage, and the emperor strictly investigates and deals with it, so he is still afraid of something, so he beat Zhu Quan as a "dead tiger"!
Second, the good son-in-law was originally a person involved in a major case
Such an investigation really found a big case:
Zhu Quan not only accepted bribes to sell quotas, he was also the person involved in the Lu Liuliang case in Zhejiang!
Lu Liuliang's case, Tianzi No. 1 big case! The famous literal prison of the Qing Dynasty!
Watching the "Yongzheng Dynasty" drama, there is a Hunan scholar Zeng Jing, who wrote a letter to Yue Zhongqi, a general in the northwest of the Qing Dynasty, to persuade Yue Shi to learn from his ancestor Yue Fei to resist Jin and oppose the Qing! Later, the Yongzheng Emperor also grasped Zeng Jing tightly in the palace, and let Zeng Jing watch every day how he worked and lived, how he wasted sleep and forgot to eat, and took care of every opportunity every day. Zeng Jing was moved!
This is the plot of novels and TV series. In history, there was indeed a person who was quiet, and he highly admired the books written and printed by Lu Liuliang, an anti-Qing scholar in Zhejiang in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, which were all anti-Qing readings. Later, Lü Liuliang's printing of anti-Qing books was suppressed, and the big case was shocking! The Lü Liuliang people were slaughtered, and all those who did not die were exiled to Ningguta in Heilongjiang as slaves! Many of Lu Liuliang's students were also involved, and they were widely involved.
This Zeng Jing was an anti-Qing scholar who admired Lü Liuliang. Just because he wrote a letter against Yue Zhongqi, he was reported by Yue Shi, which aroused the great attention of the Yongzheng Emperor, so that he could find out Lü Liuliang's anti-Qing reading case!
And the member of the imperial court who drafted the closing text for Lü Liuliang's case was Zhang Tingyu! And Zhu Quan's bottom line was finally confirmed: he was the person involved in The Lu Liuliang case!
When Zhu Quan was serving in the Hanlin Academy, Zhang Tingyu was in charge of the Hanlin Academy and rated Zhu Quan as "excellent".
In short, whether Zhang Tingyu is an old leader or a father-in-law, he has an unshirkable responsibility!
Third, the emperor is gracious
If it was an ordinary official, as Zhu Quan's relatives, there was no way to live!
The case-handling officials investigated and interrogated Zhang Tingyu for a while, and played it according to the facts. Because he was unaware and was only affected by his relatives, the Qianlong Emperor could not bear to punish him, so he let Zhang Tingyu return to his hometown for the elderly.
After Zhang Tingyu's death, the Qianlong Emperor still followed the will of the former emperor and allowed Zhang Tingyu's tablet to enter the Taimiao Temple for enjoyment.
