Originally from Huaiyuan, Anhui Province, 1896, his father went to Huguang as governor (renamed Hubei governor in the first year of Yongzheng). In the thirty-ninth year of Kangxi (1700), he was a scholar and served as a judge in the Hanlin Academy. In the forty-eighth year of Kangxi (1709), the Prince was promoted to Prince Yong and served as the flag master of the Yellow Flag. Nian Gengyao's younger sister was chosen as Prince Yong's side Fujin, so she became Yin Zhen's confidant. In the same year, Huang Qi joined the Han army and served as the governor of Sichuan. When Nian Gengyao was the governor of Sichuan, he wrote: "If you don't live up to the emperor (Kangxi) today, you will live up to the emperor (Yongzheng) tomorrow. 」

In the fifty-seventh year of Kangxi (17 18), Junggar decided to occupy Tibet by Alabotan. The year before last, it was required to set up a post station from Arrow Furnace to Litang to ensure the smooth logistics of the Qing army. Therefore, he was appreciated by Emperor Kangxi and was appointed as the governor of Sichuan, in charge of governor affairs and dealing with Songpan military affairs. Since then, he has repeatedly made meritorious military service in the border areas in 2006 and has become an important figure in supporting Yongzheng. The "Tang Dynasty in Jixian County" written in The Legend of Heroes of Children actually refers to Nian Gengyao, saying that he was a general of seven provinces. "There are 100,000 soldiers and thousands of horses. They are like clouds and counselors are like rain." [ 1]

After Yongzheng acceded to the throne, he was named "General Fuyuan", and led Yue Zhongqi and others to suppress Tenzin rebellion hidden by Rob in Qinghai. Rob hid Tenzin and fled to the Ministry with more than 200 down archers. Banshi returned to the DPRK, and Yongzheng personally greeted him, taking away General Fuyuan, sealing Taibao and the first-class public.

In February of the third year of Yongzheng (1725), there was a good omen that "the sun and the moon are combined and the five stars are linked together", and officials all wrote to congratulate Yongzheng. In March, Nian Gengyao wrote "Doing things at night" in the chapter, and his handwriting was scrawled. Yongzheng took this as the topic, indicating that "Nian Gengyao relied on his own efforts."

Yongzheng criticized: "I heard a rumor that' the emperor went out of the Three Rivers to fight the field of Jiahu' (Sanjiang refers to Qiantang River, Fuchun River and Huangpu River, and Jia Hu refers to Jiaxing and Huzhou). ..... Look at this, you don't know regret. For god's sake, if I fail you, the devil take the hindmost; If you let me down, I don't know how God will punish you! ..... You this scene, from the days of your minister, no matter my way, always sarcastic articles, duplicity tone, plus I heard gossip, blame the hero's name. I have to take care of me, but I can't take care of your Minister's Day. It's just that the first sentence I took in the future generations of the world is. 」

Nian Gengyao, who was still under illusion, stayed in Yizheng, Jiangsu Province, and sat tight, and instructed Zhu Jiong, the county magistrate of Xianning, Anzhou, Xi, to stay as the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi. He also said: "I dare not live in Shaanxi for a long time, nor dare I go to Zhejiang. Now I am waiting for orders in Yizheng land and water transportation. 」

Yongzheng thundered against Nian Gengyao for "delaying to wait and see, somehow". At that time, officials handed in the chapter to violate the law, and Li Lian, the governor of Zhili, played three books, denouncing Nian Gengyao for "bullying the city, taking bribes and perverting the law, refusing the party and the army, embezzling state funds, killing innocent people and hurting good people" and "arresting the capital, and in December of Yongzheng three years (1726, 1), he was sentenced to death for 92 major crimes. Yongzheng allowed him to commit suicide in prison, one son was beheaded, and the rest were sent to Guangxi, Yunnan and Guizhou to be banished. My father was pardoned because of his advanced age, and my wife was sent back to her family. Nian Gengyao thought before he died that the emperor would pardon him, but there was no news. Nian Gengyao finally hanged himself at the urging of Cai Wei, a Zuodu censor and criminal officer.

Seven days after Nian Gengyao's death, Wang was beheaded, which is called "Wang Xizheng's Essay" in history.

[Editor] Controversy

Historians have different opinions about why Nian Gengyao fell out of favor and was given the crime of death. According to the official statement, he was found guilty in 1995 because he acted arrogantly, conspired for personal gain, took bribes and perverted the law. After Yongzheng, Zhu Pi said: "Most talents are unreliable. Nian Gengyao is an example and was finally killed." "Nian Gengyao owed me a lot, acted arrogantly and opened the door to bribery. Because of all kinds of revelations, he can't enforce the law himself, thinking. " Both Qing Draft and 700 Biographies of Celebrities in Qing Dynasty believe that Nian Gengyao was killed because of arrogance.

Levin said in "The Emperor of the Qing Dynasty": "After careful study, this person (Nian Gengyao) has no great talent; Otherwise, even Sejong (Yongzheng) can't tell the disgusting mystery soup, drinking like China's wine, getting drunk and dying quickly. Therefore, during the Kangxi period, he was praised by Tianyu, which was nothing but the result of Prince Yong's intention to put in a good word for him. However, some people think that Gao Zhen contributed to the death in 1998, and even unofficial history claimed that he had mastered the secret of Yongzheng usurpation. It was also said that the Qing Sejong had no intention of killing Nian Gengyao, but Qing officials repeatedly demanded the death of Nian Gengyao, but the Qing Sejong had to answer because of public discussion.
