According to the film and television drama, Yin Zhen, the fourth brother, was insulted by Liu Ba, the owner of Jiangxia Town, because it was inconvenient to reveal his identity.
Later, it reached Nian Gengyao's ears. He went out and destroyed Jiangxia Town, killing all the men, women and children in Jiangxia Town. Since then, there is no such place as Jiangxia Town. But in fact, this is not enough to prove Nian Gengyao's loyalty, but there are many treasures in Jiangxia Town, and Nian Gengyao did it for himself.
Influenced by film and television dramas, we all think that Nian Gengyao is the favorite of Yongzheng and an important helper for Yongzheng to change from a neglected prince to Kangxi's successor. However, according to historical records, Nian Gengyao and Yongzheng never established close friendship. Nian Gengyao and Yongzheng are interdependent, and they are not the real slaves of Yongzheng.
According to historical records, Nian Gengyao, a town of Wei in the northwest, can also participate in Yunnan government affairs and become the main confidant minister of Yongzheng in other provinces. But I have to say, Nian Gengyao's death is self-inflicted.
The princes saluted each other, and Nian Gengyao rode away safely without looking. The princes dismounted to meet him, and he just nodded. What's more, in front of Yongzheng, the attitude is very arrogant, "no one is polite", which Yongzheng knows.
The following year1February, the situation changed suddenly, and Yong Zhengdi deprived him of his official title, listed 92 major crimes, and Yongzheng ordered Nian Gengyao to commit suicide.
