Was Yongzheng really assassinated by Lv Siniang? On August 23, the 13th year of Yongzheng, Yong Zhengdi died suddenly in Yuanmingyuan. Yong Zhengdi's death, in addition to the unexpected, his empress dowager cixi and his favorite ministers were all unprepared. According to Zhang's Chronology of Customs of Yongzheng University, he had no symptoms before his death. Shortly before his death, Zhang Jin made a "daily visit". On the day of Yongzheng's death, Zhang was called into the palace and learned that he was critically ill. The news made him tremble with fear.
Yongzheng died in a hurry, in the official history of the Qing Dynasty
On the 22nd, Yongzheng didn't summon the courtiers again, and the pro-king and the prince He stayed with him all day just in case anything happened. When Qu, Yong Zhengdi's condition suddenly deteriorated, and the palace issued an urgent imperial edict to convene a meeting of kings, ministers and college students. As a result, at midnight on 23rd, Yong Zhengdi became the guest of honor.
But the official book did not explain what disease Yongzheng was suffering from. Moreover, the official history, notes of first residence and other documents rarely record the situation during Yongzheng's illness.
Therefore, people and future generations' guesses about the cause of Yongzheng's death are futile and there are different opinions. After Yong Zhengdi's death, his coffin was only parked in the Qing Palace for 19 days, and then it was moved to the Yong Yong Hall of the Lama Temple. Why did his coffin move from the palace to the temple in such a hurry? Is there anything really unusual about the death of Yongzheng?
Xiling Tailing in Qing Dynasty. Yong Zhengdi's mausoleum, Tailing Mausoleum, is the earliest, largest and most complete mausoleum in Xiling. As Yong Zhengdi first built the Tailing Mausoleum in Xiling, the "Zhao Muwen Zhao Xiang Burial System" was born.
The reason is that Yong Zhengdi first built a mausoleum in Xiling, and his son Gan Long thought that if he built a mausoleum in Xiling with his father, the sages Kangxi and Shizu Shunzhi who had been buried in Dongling in the Qing Dynasty would be left out in the cold. If the mausoleum was built in Dongling, it would also neglect his father Yong Zhengdi. In order to solve this problem, Emperor Qianlong decided to build his father's tomb in the west and his father's tomb in the east, which was called "Zhao Mu burial system" in history. Tailing was founded in 1730, covering an area of 8. Forty-seven hectares, buried in Sejong Yong Zhengdi, filial piety queen, Dunsu imperial concubine.
Yong Zhengdi's death is also recorded in unofficial history, such as The Official History of the Qing Dynasty, The Legacy of the Qing Palace and The Thirteen Dynasties of the Qing Palace. But in these unofficial history works, Yongzheng was killed by Lv Siniang. To explain this statement, we should first start with the case of Lv Liuliang, a literary inquisition in the sixth year of Yongzheng. After the Qing dynasty entered the customs, the secret society still existed.
There was a secret resistance movement against the restoration of the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty. We used various methods to attack the Qing court, from local righteous teachers to secret associations. Lv Liuliang was a scholar with nationalist thoughts in the early Qing Dynasty, and his works contained a lot of anti-Qing thoughts.
Yongzheng period, that is, more than 40 years after Lv Liuliang's death. Two scholars, after reading Lu's book, were influenced by it, and suddenly came up with the idea of anti-Qing and regaining sight. At that time, Ceng Jing was a student in Yongxing County, Hunan Province. He failed many times in the imperial examination. Later, while teaching in the local area, he was called Teacher Putan.
When I was studying at ordinary times, I saw the word "rebellion" in Advise Monks not to enter the Qing Dynasty and Lu's Four Books and Quotations. I was greatly moved, so I had a whim to be an anti-Qing fighter and see the light again. Not only did he think so, but in fact he sent his student Zhang Xi to visit his hometown in Lv Liuliang. Zhang Xi heard some rumors that Yongzheng killed his father, forced his mother and usurped the throne along the way. And I heard that the descendants of Zhongliang Yuefei died in Shaanxi at that time. "This is somewhat possible. Moreover, after comparing modern medical knowledge with the symptoms before Yongzheng's death, later generations found that Yong Zhengdi's symptoms before his death were very similar to those of poisoning death.
These are just two widely circulated sayings. As for historical facts, it remains to be further verified by historians. After Yongzheng's death, he was buried in the Tailing Mausoleum of the Western Qing Dynasty, where the famous minister of Sejong Jing Tian was buried. Wu Wen wisely and generously appointed Xin Yi Sheng Rui as the greatest filial piety. Known as Yong Zhengdi.
Yong Zhengdi's reign was not long, but he left two mysteries: legacy and death. Maybe there is nothing magical about these mysteries at all. It's just that all kinds of rumors of later generations put layers of mysterious coats on him, making it difficult for people to see the truth clearly.
