Uncover the truth of Yongzheng's death. Lv Siniang was assassinated? Drug poisoning?

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 Zi's chronicle, he had no symptoms when he was alive. 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, and there are few records about his death in the official history of the Qing Dynasty. According to Yongzheng's note, on August 26th, 2 1 year, Yong Zhengdi felt a little uncomfortable, but he was still able to summon his officials. 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. Yong Zhengdi built the Tailing Mausoleum in Xiling for the first time, which resulted in the "Zhao Muwen Zhao Xiang Burial System".

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 8.47 hectares. Sejong Yong Zhengdi, Empress Xiongxian and Emperor Dunsu were all buried here.

Yong Zhengdi's death is also recorded in unofficial history, such as Official History of Qing Dynasty, Legacy of Qing Palace and Thirteen Dynasties of Qing Palace. However, in these unofficial history works, people think that Yongzheng was assassinated 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, there was still a secret resistance movement against the Qing dynasty and regaining sight in the secret society. 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 didn't see the word "rebellion" in the four books, handouts and quotations recorded by Qinghe.

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. I heard that Yue Zhongqi, the descendant of Zhongliang Yuefei,

So he and Zhang Xi wrote a letter of protest against Yue Zhongqi. Later, I sent this letter of protest signed by "Li Yuanshuai" to Yue Zhongqi. After reading the letter, Qi Yue was surprised to find that it was full of outrageous words. Therefore, Yue Zhongqi immediately sent someone to detain Zhang Xi. After examination, Zhang Xi gave up Ceng Jing in Hunan. After the case was exposed. Qi Yue hurriedly beat Yong Zhengdi truthfully. Yong Zhengdi was shocked, so he told Li Wei, the governor of Zhejiang Province, to seize the relatives and students of Lv Liuliang and destroy all his books and works.

Of course, this is just a rumor in unofficial history's novels, and some scholars have refuted these rumors. I think this assassination is purely a rumor. Because after Lu was killed, his family was tightly controlled and no one could escape. In addition, during the reign of the emperor, the Yuanmingyuan was heavily guarded. Through the guards patrolling day and night, Lv Siniang could not easily enter the bedroom to assassinate the emperor.

Taoist costumes in Yong Zhengdi. Yong Zhengdi's cassock was painted by a court painter in Qing Dynasty. Before reaching the summit, Yong Zhengdi believed in the fortune-telling of Taoist priests in Wuyishan, accepted Lou Jinyuan, a Taoist priest in Jiangxi, as a Buddhist disciple, and raised Taoist priests Jia Shifang and Zhang Taixu in the palace garden to practice Dan medicine.

In addition, there is a saying that Yong Zhengdi died of taking Dan medicine poisoning. By studying the notes of Yongzheng dynasty carefully, these people found that Yong Zhengdi liked alchemy very much. In order to live forever, Yong Zhengdi kept a large number of monks and Taoists in his palace. He himself is also very keen on divination, praying for God and other skills. It is often used to decide the appointment and promotion of officials. During the Yongzheng period, he wrote many poems praising immortals and elixirs.

In addition, under the guidance of Taoist priests, Yongzheng often learned Taoist secrets such as alchemy, collecting tombs, flying cranes and teaching methods. In order to live forever, Yongzheng often took Dan medicine offered by Taoist priests. It is recorded in Korean historical records that Yong Zhengdi was obsessed with alchemy and was terminally ill, unable to move from the waist down.

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 the rumors of later generations have clothed him with layers of mystery, making it difficult to see the truth clearly.
