Introduction: Sun Jiacheng who dared to fight with the ministers in the "Yongzheng Dynasty"; dared to choke with the prime minister Wang and ministers; even more dared to shun impeachment when Nian Gengyao's holy favorite is Zhenglong and the momentum is booming , Is the prototype of Sun Jiagan, a famous official of the Yongzheng Dynasty in the history of the Qing Dynasty.
Sun Jiagan, who went through the three dynasties of Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong, is famous for his daring to speak out. Sun Jiacheng's interpretation of Sun Jiagan's resolute and upright character is relatively sufficient, but the drama's final interpretation of Sun Jiacheng has added the artistic needs of plot development and character creation, and has changed. The Emperor Yongzheng sent Sun Jiacheng to the northwest to implement the New Deal under the premise that Sun Jiacheng and Nian Gengyao were already incompatible. This is the emperor's heart of the Emperor Yongzheng, and it is a concentrated expression of the dark power of the Emperor Yongzheng.
Just ascended to the throne, the Emperor Yongzheng, who was in desperate need to establish his own political power, made Sun Jiacheng, who had the courage to speak out, a bold loyalty, and a dedication to the public as his country, became the object of his deliberate training. It’s just that Emperor Yongzheng was too impatient to take Zhang Tingyu's suggestion of "Take a little time, temper it" , so he was directly appointed as the third-ranking supervisory official of the Imperial Court.
Why is Emperor Yongzheng so anxious? What is the purpose of his extraordinary reuse of Sun Jiacheng?
Yongzheng Emperor in the "九王夺嫡" incident, although some courtiers were drawn in, and his own political power was built, but for the governance of a huge country, these political powers Far from being used by Emperor Yongzheng. In the face of the powerful political forces of Prince Lian Yinxu and the demonstrative obedience and backhand constraints of many courtiers, Emperor Yongzheng had to establish a political group centered on himself, covering all functional departments and covering local governments in a short period of time. To stabilize his imperial rule.
Emperor Yongzheng re-used famous officials of the Qing genre such as Li Fu to win over this power group that represents students from all over the world. After the failure, the imperial power control and power extension that seriously affected the direction of the ruling and opposition parties such as the Imperial Court and the Imperial College It is imperative.
In addition, Emperor Yongzheng, as the new emperor who has just succeeded to the throne, cannot expressly state the continuation of various malpractices during the Kangxi period, let alone abolish it publicly. Therefore, Emperor Yongzheng must find an upright minister who dared to "I can’t speak and do what I can’t do" to stand up and publicly criticize and criticize bad governance, so that Emperor Yongzheng can depose bad governance and implement New Deal reforms. The origin.
Therefore, Emperor Yongzheng can no longer wait, let alone smooth the edges and corners of Sun Jiacheng. What he wants is Sun Jiacheng's absolute support when he is unstable; what he wants is to use Sun Jiacheng's edges and corners to deal with and sting those Opposition forces that hold back themselves.
01 Emperor Yongzheng dispatched Sun Jiacheng to the back of the northwest
Since Sun Jiacheng is of great use to Emperor Yongzheng, since he is the Emperor Yongzheng, it is more important to stabilize his imperial power and control the dynasty. Why did Emperor Yongzheng know that Sun Jiacheng and Nian Gengyao were already incompatible, but he wanted to send Sun Jiacheng to the northwest, to Nian Gengyao's sphere of influence, and send him to the tiger's mouth?
On the surface, Emperor Yongzheng's decision was not impulsive, let alone sent Sun Jiacheng into the mouth of a tiger!
1. The reason why Emperor Yongzheng did not hesitate to devote all the power of the whole country to firmly support Nian Gengyao's victory in the Northwest War was because this battle was too crucial for Emperor Yongzheng!
As soon as Emperor Yongzheng succeeded to the throne, he appointed his eighth son Yinxu as the Prime Minister Wang Minister. This was not only a easing attitude towards the royal clansmen, in order to win the unity and support of the ruling class; but also temporarily paralyzed and powerful. The "八爷党" force group needs time to win itself to consolidate its imperial power. The Northwest War was the most effective method used by Emperor Yongzheng to divert opposition from the ruling and opposition parties and maintain the emperor's authority.
Nian Gengyao further consolidated through the victory of the Northwest WarHe strengthened his absolute power in the northwest region and stabilized a military force that was very important to the Qing Dynasty. From the overall perspective, this was a favorable condition for the Yongzheng Emperor to stabilize his imperial power, and it was also a key force used by the Yongzheng Emperor to deter courtiers. Where.
That is to say, Nian Gengyao's victory in the northwest greatly reduced the opposition from the ruling and the opposition, and Emperor Yongzheng's use of Sun Jiacheng was no longer so important and necessary.
2. Solving the external contradictions, the rest is the internal contradictions of the Yongzheng Emperor's own political forces.
After possessing the merits of support and military merits in the Northwest, Nian Gengyao is no longer the mansion slave who needs to work hard to win the trust and promotion of the fourth son of the emperor Yinzhen. He has become a de facto “北王”, has become a powerful official in frontiers that the Yongzheng Emperor must rely on and even fear.
Regarding the various performances of Nian Gengyao, Emperor Yongzheng was out of consideration for maintaining the image and reputation of the emperor; because Nian Gengyao had just won a military victory, the morale of his troops was high, and he was afraid of Nian Gengyao’s horse leader. ; Out of specific considerations that Nian Gengyao, a powerful military force, needs to support him, he can only bear with Nian Gengyao’s "僭越罪上" for the time being.
However, no emperor would allow any powerful minister who dared to challenge his emperor's authority to exist for a long time, so Emperor Yongzheng must take precautions against Nian Gengyao and take action. One of the important reasons that Sun Jiacheng was sent to the northwest was that Sun Jiacheng could monitor Nian Genengyao, so that Nian Genengyao was scrupulous and restrained in his death behavior.
3. The military defense system in the northwest consumed too much manpower and material resources of the imperial court. Emperor Yongzheng needed a financial expert and an upright minister to restrain him.
The Northwest War was so expensive for the imperial government’s finances that Emperor Yongzheng had to use "杀鸡取卵" in order to supply the consumption of the Northwest. I originally thought that after the victory of the war, the consumption of the Northwest would be reduced, but Nian Gengyao’s "establishment" Northwest military defense system requires more money and food, which makes the already stretched national finances change. It's even more difficult.
"open source" could not be completed for the time being, and Emperor Yongzheng could only spend his thoughts on "throttle" .
Sun Jiacheng, who was once the head of the household department, was able to see the drawbacks of making money, indicating that Emperor Yongzheng's name "理财能手" was not without reason. Coupled with Sun Jiacheng's boldness and cold-faced ruthlessness, if there is no deliberate blocking by Nian Gengyao, Sun Jiacheng's governance and restraint of Northwestern Finance will definitely have practical results.
Therefore, Emperor Yongzheng sent Sun Jiacheng to the northwest, not only for Sun Jiacheng’s "people make the best of their talents" ; but also for the specific needs of the current political situation and the control of political forces, and it was the reason and wisdom of Emperor Yongzheng. Lift.
But, is Sun Jiacheng the only role? The Emperor Yongzheng’s emperor’s mentality was only the positive use of "the way of the king", and there was no plan of cold tactics?
Of course not!
Emperor Yongzheng sent Sun Jiacheng to the northwest, and there is a deeper intention. This is also a rare dark side manifestation after Emperor Yongzheng took the throne.
As mentioned earlier, Emperor Yongzheng has reached an irreconcilable point with regard to the contradiction between Sun Jiacheng and Nian Gengyao, and he is determined to establish himself in the northwest region. "Separation of the dynasty" Nian Gengyao is not even Will allow any other forces to penetrate into the northwest region, even the forces of Emperor Yongzheng.
At the same time, does the military defense system established by Nian Gengyao really need so much money?
Of course not, he is just converging money as much as possible, wooing and cultivating his own power as much as possible, and contributing to his ultimate dream of becoming "北王". Therefore, Nian Gengyao would not allow Sun Jiacheng to intervene in the Northwest's finances, nor would he allow Sun Jiacheng to override himself and control the Northwest's financial power.
Therefore, Emperor Yongzheng is almost certain about Sun Jiacheng's fate after going to the northwest, that is, Sun Jiacheng will die in the hands of Nian Gengyao. In this way, the Emperor Yongzheng had the handle of Nian Gengyao's victory, and the justified reason for "to kill the hero" .
However, Emperor Yongzheng had a fascination about Nian Gengyao while he was in the cold, and he also had illusions about Sun Jiacheng being able to complete his “王道” goal. This cold-blooded gloomy layout was just a two-handed arrangement forced by the Yongzheng Emperor!
02 Sun Jiacheng was sent to another destination in the northwest
The Emperor Yongzheng placed Sun Jiacheng in the Imperial Court at the beginning, and wanted him to use his position to create a public opinion orientation that was beneficial to Emperor Yongzheng and let him help He unites and wins courtiers. When Nuo Min and Zhang Tinglu were killed, Sun Jiacheng's "assist" factor was included. Sun Jiacheng's ability to speak to Zhang Tingyu and other veterans who have reached the pinnacle of political wisdom is enough to illustrate Sun Jiacheng's "United battle" skill.
Another main purpose of Emperor Yongzheng sending Sun Jiacheng to the northwest was to make full use of Sun Jiacheng’s "united battle" ability, and will try his best to the central Nian Gengyao army The "策反" , in case of necessity in the future, will allow Emperor Yongzheng to liquidate Nian Gengyao with greater certainty.
Nian Gengyao killed Sun Jiacheng, why did Emperor Yongzheng only send one Tulichen to easily take down the Northwest Army that Nian Gengyao had been operating for several years? Yue Zhongqi, who was originally loyal to Nian Gengyao, really changed his position immediately and replaced Nian Gengyao's position as a general with only a decree in the hands of Tu Lichen?
Of course, there is the Northwest general's obedience and loyalty to the orthodox king, but it is absolutely inseparable from the work of "United Front" and "Drawing in" after Sun Jiacheng went to the Northwest.
In fact, long before Nian Gengyao won the victory in the Northwest War, Emperor Yongzheng had deliberately arranged the work of wooing and mastering the Northwest generals.
The ten imperial guards dispatched to the Northwest Army were the test of the Emperor Yongzheng on the work of the Northwest general "united battle" . However, the ten imperial guards were almost all bought by Nian Gengyao as soon as they arrived at the barracks. The first arrangement of Emperor Yongzheng ended in failure, so there was a supplement to appoint Sun Jiacheng to the northwest.
Since Nian Gengyao was quickly evacuated from power, Yue Zhongqi easily grasped the military power of the Northwest, which shows that Sun Jiacheng’s "united battle" work has indeed received absolute results. Completed the entrustment of Emperor Yongzheng.
03 The relationship between Sun Jiacheng and Wu Sidao
(This part is a supplement to the end of the previous article written by the author!)
According to the enthusiastic fan comments, it seems that The author's analysis of Wu Sidao's ending does not approve. He believes that with Wu Sidao's wisdom, he would never go to Nian Gengyao, where he has been determined that he will soon fall from power after escaping from Henan.
In this regard, the author has other considerations.
Why did Wu Sidao choose Nian Gengyao as his choice after escaping from Henan?
1, Where can Wu Sidao go? Under the whole world, could it be Wangtu. Emperor Yongzheng wanted to punish Wu Sidao. Where could Wu Sidao escape to save his life? When escorting the Henan Army to the Northwest Army, Wu Sidao mentioned Nian Gengyao "灯下黑" Show, isn't it Wu Sidao's arrangement for his final destination?
Leaving the Yongzheng Emperor who had murderous intentions on him, Wu Sidao first defected to Li Wei and then to Tian Wenjing, both of whom were confidants of the Yongzheng Emperor. At Tian Wenjing, the wayward Wu Sidao knew that he had completely offended Emperor Yongzheng and could only flee. He expected that Emperor Yongzheng would not have thought that he would dare to hide at Nian Gengyao (another confidant of Yongzheng Emperor), and would not be so stupid that he would stretch his neck under the sword of Emperor Yongzheng.
2, Even if Emperor Yongzheng knew that Wu Sidao was hiding at Nian Gengyao, for Wu Sidao, Nian Gengyao at that time was the only one with absolute strength and able to protect himself.
After winning the war in the Northwest, Nian Gengyao dared to "drive horse forward" when the Emperor Yongzheng who came to greet him; when Zhang Tingyu read out Feng Shang Nian Gengyao's decree, he dared to " Sitting and listening to the seal "; I even dared to say in front of Emperor Yongzheng, "The generals in his army know the military order, but I don't know the emperor" 's crazy paradox. Wu Sidao, who has a great benevolence to Nian Gengyao, if he really encountered the life threat of Emperor Yongzheng, he would definitely dare to confront Emperor Yongzheng and protect Wu Sidao.
At that time, Wu Sidao did not notice that the Emperor Yongzheng had a firm grasp of the facts of the northwestern region for the work of "united battle" which had been in the Northwest Army. Control. In other words, Nian Gengyao’s "泥佛萨" is overrated by Wu Sidao!
3、 In addition, when Nian Qiuyue and Wu Sidao almost walked together, Nian Gengyao's sister had already been named the imperial concubine by Jin. When it came to the critical moment of life and death, the year, autumn and moon was Wu Sidao's last shield.
The dying sentence of the autumn month:
"Tell Mr. Wu, I will go first!"
Is it really just the nostalgia and regret for the past?
is not at all, but Nian Qiuyue had long been in contact with Wu Sidao who was hiding at Nian Gengyao, and personally interceded for Wu Sidao to be protected by Nian Gengyao.
However, Wu Sidao also did not expect that after avoiding Tian Wenjing, he encountered "田文镜" in the northwest, and Sun Jiacheng had the power of life and death far surpassed Tian Wenjing.
After Wu Sidao goes to the northwest, he must provide Nian Gengyao with practical help and show his own value, so that Nian Gengyao can protect himself with all his heart. For Nian Gengyao at that time, Sun Jiacheng was the biggest obstacle preventing Nian Gengyao from making progress to "北王" , so Wu Sidao would definitely try his best to help Nian Gengyao deal with Sun Jiacheng.
孙嘉诚的 "二杆子" When the temper came up, even without the secret order of Emperor Yongzheng, he would directly kill Wu Sidao, and he would not care about it. What political influence, what is the overall situation. What's more, for this "dangerous person" , which will definitely affect the comprehensive layout plan of Emperor Yongzheng, as early as when he left Henan, Emperor Yongzheng had already sent him to all possible places (not including Li Wei, Because Emperor Yongzheng personally passed by) issued a killing order!
Such a person who was of great use to him was executed by Sun Jiacheng. Will Nian Gengyao still keep Sun Jiacheng? Moreover, Nian Gengyao could pretend that he did not know that the conflict between Wu Sidao and Emperor Yongzheng was intensified, and "revenge for the master's former friend" as a legitimate reason to get rid of Sun Jiacheng.
Emperor Yongzheng used one Sun Jiacheng and another Sun Jiacheng who was no longer so important to him, in exchange for the two lives of Wu Sidao and Nian Gengyao!
