So, how did Yongzheng treat his descendants after Nian Gengyao's death?
It can be said that Nian Gengyao's death shocked the world. Everyone knows that Yongzheng loved Nian Gengyao infinitely. Why did the relationship suddenly break down?
Nian Gengyao was born in 1679. Because his father was a senior official in the DPRK, Nian Gengyao was deeply influenced by his family environment and read a lot of sage books since childhood. Because Nian Gengyao was a scholar of 2 1 year-old, he was quickly appreciated by Kangxi. 1709, Nian Gengyao became the governor of Sichuan before he was 30 years old and became a government official.
Nian Gengyao appreciated Kangxi's appreciation. After arriving in Sichuan, Nian Gengyao refused to accept gifts and bribes, and put forward many measures beneficial to people's livelihood, which were unanimously praised by Kangxi and the people.
After more than ten years, Nian Gengyao pacified the wars between Tibet and Qinghai many times. By 172 1, Nian Gengyao had been promoted to the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, becoming one of the most important officials in the west.
After Yongzheng acceded to the throne, Nian Gengyao was highly respected. Yongzheng gave Nian Gengyao the power to monopolize all western affairs, which was far superior to other governors. After the war in Qinghai, Yongzheng officially appointed him General Fuyuan, who was solely responsible for the suppression work.
Nian Gengyao ended the battle without bloodshed, and his fame spread all over the West. In recognition of his achievements, Yongzheng made Nian Gengyao a first-class male. In addition, Yongzheng also publicly called Nian Gengyao one of their own? A benefactor? And ask people to remember Nian Gengyao's great achievements from generation to generation, otherwise they cannot become their own people.
After this incident, Nian Gengyao began to be taken care of by Yongzheng in all aspects. For example, Nian Gengyao and his son were knighted for Nian Gengyao's achievements. Whenever Nian Gengyao is ill, Yongzheng will personally send a doctor to consult him, and will also reward a large number of precious medicinal materials.
The litchi incident is the best embodiment of Yongzheng's love. On one occasion, Yongzheng gave litchi to Nian Gengyao. In order to ensure the freshness of the fruit, Yongzheng ordered the post office to whip it and deliver it within six days. Think back to Li Longji? Riding the world of mortals and laughing? And Yongzheng to Nian Gengyao, that's really let a person from crying.
