The tomb of Zhang Tingyu, an important minister of Yongzheng, was discovered. The funeral objects confirm the history and may have an impact on the image of Qianlong

The name Zhang Tingyu must be familiar to everyone. As long as it is a film and television drama during the Yongzheng period, this person must appear. In fact, Zhang Tingyu has been trusted by the emperor since the Kangxi period, and his father was a teacher of Yongzheng. With this relationship, after Yongzheng came to power, of course he became closer to Zhang Tingyu. Therefore, when Zhang Tingyu was in his prime, he received the courtesy of two emperors and was indeed an indispensable important minister in the dynasty.

In view of this relationship, before Yongzheng passed away, he left Zhang Tingyu's last gift. He specifically mentioned in the edict that this person will share the Taimiao in the future, and more of it The family prefers to be compassionate, but even with the words of the first emperor, Zhang Tingyu's second half of his life was not very good. When Qianlong was in power, Zhang Tingyu was already old, so he was a bit slow and old-fashioned in both his actions and opinions. Of course, he couldn't agree with the 25-year-old emperor, so Qianlong never caught a cold with him. In addition to not calling the emperor, he and Ertai also refused to accept each other. After a long time, Zhang Tingyu felt that life was not going well, so he simply asked the emperor to return to his hometown.

Don’t think Qianlong doesn’t like him very much, but he also thinks that people who are so important to Emperor Xiandi don’t want to serve him and want to return home, so he is not only angry but has not approved it, and will mention it later. At the time of this matter, the emperor simply dismissed him and confiscated the privileges given to him by the first emperor. Poor Zhang Tingyu had never suffered such anger in his entire life, and he was a little depressed. He finally got the grace to return to his hometown. In the end, he was convicted and ransacked again. It was a pity that he had worked in the first half of his life. After his death, he was buried. The cemetery looks pretty good, and descendants have been offering sacrifices, so he has been well preserved.

In the 1960s, nearby villagers brought tools to dig Zhang Tingyu’s tomb. These people only went in to find the baby and dragged his body out before leaving. Settle back in a hurry. However, when the experts later searched, they found that there were not many funeral objects in the tomb, only a few imperial cultural relics. This should not be. From the above experience, we can see that Zhang Tingyu performed well in front of the two emperors. Guang Yongzheng gave him more than that. There is only one possibility for this situation, that is, the last one before his death. Convicted second time.

At that time, Zhang Tingyu was very old, but he was convicted again by Qianlong. However, it is not easy to be punished because of his old age, so he simply used to transcribe his home instead. At that time, all the treasures that Zhang Tingyu had been rewarded in his first half of his life were taken back by Qianlong, so there were not so many funeral objects in his tomb. The discovery of this tomb also confirms this period of history, but fortunately, the fact that he shared the Taimiao was executed. It is really regrettable that Qianlong treated a hero like this. I wonder if his image has been affected by this incident?
