In "The Legend of Zhen Huan", Yongzheng has been pampering his sister Concubine Hua for decades in order to win over Nian Qianyao. However, with the high achievements of Nian Qianyao, Yongzheng gradually became dissatisfied.
In the end, Concubine Hua just said a word to ask for an official position for Nian Qianyao's son Nian Fu when she was sleeping, so Yongzheng made sure that Nian Qianyao had set up eyeliner in the palace, so he made up his mind to kill Nian Qianyao.
After the fall of Nian Qianyao, Concubine Hua's grace was no longer there, and finally she hit the wall and died under Zhen Huan's design.
But the truth of history is not so.
Nian was born into a family of eunuchs. Her father was the governor of Huguang during the Kangxi period, and her two elder brothers also entered the court as officials during the Kangxi period.
Nian's gentle and virtuous, outstanding appearance, and a moderate life, when Kangxi was fifty years old, she was selected by Kangxi to become the side blessing of the fourth elder brother Yinzhen.
In "The Legend of Zhen Huan", Yongzheng not only poisoned Concubine Hua's unborn son, but also deliberately rewarded Concubine Hua with Huan Yixiang mixed with musk (causing infertility). Concubine Hua, who didn't know the truth, because she couldn't conceive a child, ate a sour cucumber and experienced vomiting, which made people feel really distressed to watch.
In fact, after Nian's entry into the palace, he took all of Yinzhen's heirs, and in just 14 years, Nian's gave birth to a total of three sons and one daughter for Yinzhen.
After Yinzhen ascended the throne, he sealed the harem, and only Nian's was named a concubine. During the canonization ceremony, Yongzheng not only canonized the Nian Guifei and the queen at the same time, but also made the court clothes and phoenix crown of the Nian Guifei into the same system as the queen, but with a little less gold.
In addition, Yongzheng also raised the Nian clan from the white flag to the more noble yellow flag because of the Nian family.
All kinds of signs show that Yongzheng is very fond of Nian's.
While Nian was favored in the palace, her brother Nian Qianyao was also rising step by step.
In the 60th year of Kangxi, Nian Qianyao was promoted to the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi for his meritorious service in the northwest battle. A year later, Kangxi died, and Yongzheng successfully became the emperor, and Nian Qianyao contributed a lot. After Yongzheng succeeded to the throne, Nian Qianyao's status became more and more prominent.
In the second year of Yongzheng, Yongzheng sent Nian Qianyao to quell the rebellion that occurred in Mongolia for General Fuyuan, and finally Nian Qianyao returned victorious. When Nian Qianyao's class returned to the court, Yongzheng personally went outside the city to greet him. After that, Yongzheng named Nian Qianyao as the Taibao and the first-class duke, and also knighted his father and son.
With his outstanding military exploits, Nian Qianyao became the most proud person in the Yongzheng Dynasty. It was this pride that eventually hurt him.
Just like in "The Legend of Zhen Huan", Nian Qianyao became more and more arrogant, and he didn't take Yongzheng seriously at all. He mistakenly thought that Yongzheng was the emperor by him. Without him, Yongzheng would not be on the throne.
In fact, Yongzheng has established his prestige and authority step by step, and he has long been dissatisfied with Nian Qianyao.
Since the first month of the third year of Yongzheng, Nian Qianyao gradually fell out of favor, and was finally imprisoned by Yongzheng for questioning. However, Yongzheng has not tried Nian Qianyao for a long time, all because Yongzheng cares about Nian.
At that time, Nian's was seriously ill, and Yongzheng, who had always been diligent in government, did not go to court for five consecutive days, just to accompany Nian's in the palace.
It's a pity that even if Yongzheng gave Nian the title of imperial concubine, he couldn't keep her life. After Nian's death, Yongzheng held a grand funeral for her.
Nian died in November, and Yongzheng liquidated Nian Qianyao in December. In the end, Yongzheng listed ninety-two major sins for Nian Qianyao and made him commit suicide in prison. Except for the death of Nian Qianyao's second son, Yongzheng did not pursue the other clansmen of the Nian clan too much.
The popularity of "The Legend of Zhen Yuan" has made us have a strong interest in the history of the Qing Dynasty. The wonderful performances of the actors in the play let us see one vivid historical figure after another. However, we must also keep in mind that historical dramas are not the same as historical truths.
When we appreciate historical dramas, we must remain sober and rational, not be confused by the plot in the play, but with a critical eye, we must dig and think with our hearts. Only in this way can we better understand, understand, and think about history.
