Of course, eating boiled cabbage will not kill a governor of the two rivers, but this governor eats cabbage and even uses ginseng as firewood. This shows how extravagant he is, and he usually scratches a lot of people's money. Yongzheng is a thrifty man. He hates the corrupt behavior of officials very much, so how can he be spared when he hears that Tang eats like this?

At the end of Kangxi, the state treasury was empty. After Yongzheng ascended the throne, he thought of many ways to enrich the state treasury. He strongly advocated diligent officials and severely cracked down on official corruption, so Tang, the governor of Liangjiang, voted for Yongzheng, dressed in patched clothes and ate boiled cabbage three times a day.

In the early years of Yongzheng, I thought Tang was an honest official and even wanted him to be a model. However, it was reported to Yongzheng that Tang Guang had as many as 36 wives. How can such a person be an honest official? So Yongzheng ordered Li Wei to investigate Tang Wenyao.

When Li Wei arrived at Tang's palace, he saw that Tang had many wives, but he ate boiled cabbage every day. It seemed that he was not a very extravagant person. However, after further investigation, he found that this adult Tang ate boiled cabbage in a different way. First of all, all the chefs are famous chefs invited at high prices, and the cooking stoves are also specially made, but the firewood used to cook cabbage is actually ginseng.

Ginseng is a precious traditional Chinese medicine. It is difficult for people to find two or two ginseng when they are treating diseases, but they are burned as firewood in Tang's home. Li Wei found that there are more than 2,000 kilograms of ginseng hidden in Tang's home. With so many people attending, I'm afraid there are not as many people in the palace as him. Therefore, after hearing Li Jue's report, Yongzheng was very angry and immediately decided to slay it.
