Episode 35: Nian Gengyao is unrepentant. After being demoted many times, he still guards the city gate in a yellow jacket. What he revealed was that he was a hero, that Yong Zhengdi was fickle and ungrateful, and that Yongzheng had no intention of killing the title. This message reached Yongzheng's ears, and he made up his mind to get rid of Nian Gengyao.

A few days later, Li Wei was ordered to go to Hangchow and commit suicide for Nian Gengyao. There are many rumors among the people that a general was killed and sent to guard the mausoleum. There are many articles in it.

Huang Hong has been very ill, coughing red. In order to relieve the worries of Yongzheng, Huang An offered to visit Yin _ Zi in Jingling Mountain. Yin _ and Joe made two snowmen at the foot of the mountain. In order to amuse Yin, she sang a Shaanxi folk song "Little Cotton Jacket". Yin _ was moved by her tenderness and felt very gratified.

Nian Gengyao fell out of favor and was convicted for the following reasons:

1, first, be good at Fu Wei. Nian Gengyao's arrogance is getting worse and worse. He was arrogant and majestic in official contacts: he presented objects to subordinate officials, "making the North kowtow and thank you"; The official documents sent to governors and generals are parallel official documents, but they are called "orders" and treat the same officials as subordinates; Even Fu Bao, the king of Zasak County, Mongolia, would bow down when he saw him.

The imperial guards sent by the imperial court should have been given preferential treatment, but they were locked up as slaves around 2000 to "lead the way back and forth with whips and throw stirrups." According to the system of the Qing Dynasty, when the imperial edict reached the place, the local officials should receive the imperial edict, kneel down and knock on the gift, and beg for holy peace. But the imperial edict of Yongzheng went to Xining twice, but Nian Gengyao "didn't understand the imperial edict".

What's more, he once presented Yongzheng with the engraved "Liu Memorial" at his own expense. Yongzheng intends to write his own preface, but he hasn't written it yet. Nian Gengyao drafted an article by himself, asking for Yong Zhengdi's consent. In front of Yongzheng, Nian Gengyao also lost his temper and said, "There is no formal ceremony." Yongzheng is very unhappy.

2. Second, form parties for personal gain. At that time, when selecting civil and military officials, priority was given to officials and soldiers recommended by Nian Gengyao, the so-called "annual election". He also rejected dissidents and appointed private individuals to form a clique headed by him, with officials from Shaanxi, Gansu and Sichuan as the backbone, including officials from other regions.

Seeing Nian Gengyao's momentum rising and his power expanding, many people who hung out in officialdom rushed to the door. And Nian Gengyao is also a person who pays attention to cultivating folk forces. Whenever there is a profitable job, he must put his personal cronies. "Dissidents are screened out, and those who are eager to go are recommended to quit." For example, he impeached the governor of Zhili, saying that he was a "poor boy" and "had never been a governor" and recommended his personal Li.

Zhao Zhiyuan lost his official position, so he turned to Nian Gengyao and gave him jewelry worth 202,000 yuan. Nian Gengyao took advantage of the opportunity of entering Beijing in the second year of Yongzheng to bring Zhao to Beijing, "pleading to introduce Si Geng" to ensure its availability. Ge, the Jiangsu provincial judge who was demoted by the annual review, also sent all kinds of precious antiques twice, so Nian Gengyao promised to "take care of" him later.

He once recommended Hu Qiheng, the political envoy of Shaanxi, to impeach Cai _, the governor of Sichuan, and later rewarded and promoted Hu Qiheng as the governor of Gansu. In addition, Nian Gengyao also took the opportunity of joining the army to make his unmarried domestic slaves, Sang Dingcheng and Wei Zhiyao, become Zhili ministers and acting captains respectively.

3. Third, greedy for money. Nian Gengyao took bribes and embezzled money and grain, amounting to millions of yuan. In the early years of Yongzheng, it was an important reform measure to rectify bureaucracy and punish corruption and perverting the law. At this juncture, Yongzheng will not let go easily.
