How did Grandpa Yongzheng die? Was Yongzheng assassinated by Lv Siniang?

Lv Siniang, female, was born in Yongzheng period of Qing Dynasty, and was the granddaughter of Lv Liuliang. Unofficial history records that she used the literary inquisition to avenge the murder of her ancestor Lv Liuliang by Yongzheng, and then entered the palace in the name of choosing a concubine.

Yongzheng told him to sleep, so he beheaded Yongzheng with a dagger and died. Was Yongzheng really assassinated by Lv Siniang?

Was Yongzheng really assassinated by Lv Siniang? In the 13th year of Yongzheng (1735), Yong Zhengdi died suddenly in Yuanmingyuan on August 23rd. Yong Zhengdi's death in expect the unexpected, his empress dowager and the most favored ministers around him were unprepared. According to Zhang, a great Yongzheng scholar, in the Chronicle of Customs:

Before Yong Zhengdi died, there was no sign that he could not afford to get sick. Shortly before his death, Zhang paid a "daily visit". On the day of Yongzheng's death, Zhang was called into the palace and learned that Yong Zhengdi was dying. 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 "Ju Ju Zhu", Yong Zhengdi felt a little sick on August 2 1 day, but he was still able to summon his ministers. On the 22nd, Yongzheng didn't summon ministers again, but let Prince Bao and Prince He stay with him all day to prevent accidents. Yong Zhengdi's illness suddenly worsened at the beginning of the Qin Dynasty (from 7: 00 pm to 9: 00 pm), and he was summoned urgently by the palace to kings, ministers and university students. As a result, on the 23rd (from 11: 00 pm to 1: 00 the next day), Yong Zhengdi was the guest of honor.

But the official history did not say what was wrong with Yongzheng. Moreover, official history, gathering notes and other documents rarely record Yongzheng's illness. So that people at that time and later generations speculated on the cause of death of Yongzheng, and there were different opinions. After Yong Zhengdi's death, his coffin was parked in Qing Palace for only 65,438+09 days, and then moved to Youyong Hall of Yonghe Palace. Why did his coffin move from the palace to the temple in such a hurry? Is there anything really abnormal about Yongzheng's death?

Tailing:

Xiqing Tailing Mausoleum. Tailing Mausoleum is the mausoleum of Yongzheng, the earliest, largest and most complete mausoleum in Xiling. Because Yong Zhengdi first built the Tailing Mausoleum in Xiling, there was a "trillion burial system in which Zhao Mu asked each other". The reason is that Yong Zhengdi built a mausoleum in Xiling first, and his son Qianlong thought that if he built a mausoleum in Xiling with his father, it would make the sages Kangxi and Shizu Shunzhi, who had been buried in the Qing Dongling, be left out in the cold. If the mausoleum is built in Dongling, it will also leave his father Yong Zhengdi in the cold. In order to solve this problem, Emperor Qianlong formulated the rule that "there is a father in the west and a son in the east", which is called "the alternate giant burial system of Zhao and Mu". Tailing was founded in 1730 (the eighth year of Yongzheng), covering an area of 8. 47 hectares, where Sejong Yong Zhengdi, Empress Xiao and Empress Dunsu were buried.

Yong Zhengdi's death is also recorded in unofficial history, such as Qing History, 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 illustrate this statement, we should 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. All localities attacked the Qing court in various ways, from righteous teachers to secret societies. Lv Liuliang was a scholar with nationalist thoughts in the early Qing Dynasty, and his works contained a lot of anti-Qing thoughts.

In the Yongzheng period, that is, more than 40 years after Lv Liuliang's death. Two scholars, and read Lu's book Influenced by it, they 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 in the imperial examination. Later, he took part in the imperial examination and taught locally. He is called Mr. Putan. When I was studying at ordinary times, I saw that he was recommended to cut his hair rather than go to the Qing Dynasty, and there was also the word "rebellion" in Lu Si Shu's handouts and quotations. I was deeply moved, so I had a whim and wanted to be an anti-Qing fighter and see the light again. Not only did he think so, but he really sent his student Zhang Xi to 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 also heard that Yue Zhongqi, the descendant of Zhongliang Yuefei, then governor of Shaanxi but Gansu Province, began to write letters condemning Yong Zhengdi. These hearsay things make Ceng Jing feel that the story of raising the flag is coming.

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

Later, Yongzheng personally wrote "The Mystery of Justice" to defend himself. At the same time, in order to show his "deep benevolence and righteousness", he didn't kill Ceng Jing and Zhang Xi, but let them spread the mystery of righteousness everywhere. But the Lv Liuliang family was not so lucky. Yongzheng personally issued a decree saying, "Since ancient times, emperors have won the world, guaranteed the people, benefited the four seas, obeyed the destiny, and enjoyed the trillion trillion trillion-trillion-dollar association, so as to unify the Atlas area and live forever." Cover the way of strangers, and those who hate virtue can be the king of the world. ..... My husband and I are masters of the whole people at home and abroad, how to treat those who are loved and nurtured? But the thief Lv Liuliang likes chaos and happiness, and writes for himself. After lying about "Deyou", the world has changed greatly. I have stopped looking into the past. See you today. And inverse acts Yan Hong Kui and so on. , to echo, and extremely rampant ... Lv Liuliang Lu Baozhong's argument shows that Yan Hong Hongkui was beheaded in Kuandu, all the people were detained, and the grandchildren were sent to Ningguta as slaves. Hundreds of millions of people face the sky and hang their heads as a warning. "As a result, the dead Lv Liuliang was disembowelled and beheaded; Lu Baozhong, the son of Lv Liuliang, was beheaded; Other members of the Lv Liuliang family were exiled to Ningguta and became slaves of armor. Other related persons who published and collected Lv Liuliang's works were also sentenced to beheading, imprisonment, exile and flogging. Lv Liuliang's case involves a wide range, but it also leaves people alive.

Legend has it that after the gens was killed, Lu's daughter Siniang was rescued by Lu's personal footman and fled to the deep forest. From then on, he remained anonymous and sought revenge for his father and his ancestors. Later, Lv Siniang met a one-armed god with superb martial arts. Under her careful guidance, Lv Siniang became a swordsman with superb martial arts. To avenge his family, Lv Siniang sneaked into the capital. After some secret investigation and inquiry, Lv Siniang finally figured out the law of Yong Zhengdi's action.

One day, she got a tip-off, saying that Yongzheng would spend the night in Yuanmingyuan tonight, and the defense in Yuanmingyuan was lax. So Lv Siniang jumped into Yuanmingyuan and found Yong Zhengdi sleeping in the dragon bed, and cut off his head with a sword. Then he raised his head and escaped from the palace and flew away. After dawn, the eunuch in the palace saw that it was already afternoon and Yong Zhengdi had not got up. He called the queen to Yongzheng's bedroom and saw that he had already been beheaded. So, the palace was frightened and lied that Yongzheng was seriously ill, called the sovereign ministers into the palace, and blocked the news that Yongzheng was killed, saying only that Yongzheng had a sudden illness and died.

There are also rumors that there is a headless body in Yongzheng's coffin. Because there was no real head, I made him a gold head.

Of course, this is just a rumor in unofficial history's novels, and some scholars have refuted these rumors. I think this assassination is pure rumor. Because after the Lu case, his family was tightly controlled and no one could escape. Besides, the Yuanmingyuan was heavily guarded when the emperor was there. Lv Siniang could not easily enter the bedroom to assassinate the emperor through the guards patrolling day and night.

In addition, there is a saying that Yong Zhengdi died of poisoning by taking Dan medicine. These people found that Yong Zhengdi was very fond of magic by carefully studying the gathering of pearls in Yongzheng Dynasty. 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 tricks. It is even often used to decide the appointment and promotion of officials. In Yongzheng's Yu Lan Ji, he wrote many poems praising immortals and elixirs. Besides government affairs, Yongzheng often studied Taoist mysteries such as alchemy, picking ling, flying crane and teaching method under the guidance of Taoist priests. In order to live forever, Yongzheng often took pills offered by Taoist priests. In the historical records of North Korea, there is a record that Yong Zhengdi was so addicted to magic that he was terminally ill that he could not move from the waist down.

In addition, people also found some evidence from Emperor Qianlong, the successor of Yongzheng. Only one day after Yong Zhengdi's death, that is, on August 25th, Emperor Qianlong suddenly issued a decree to expel the Taoist priest who made an alchemy in Yuanmingyuan from the palace. He also said to Zhang Taixu, Wang Dinggan and others: "Ruoyi and others walked in the Imperial Palace for several years and said a word in front of the Emperor of the Great Line (referring to Yongzheng) ... Once interviewed, they will be strictly investigated and punished immediately." The new king has just succeeded to the throne, and Yongzheng's funeral is not over yet. North Korea has a lot to deal with. Do something else and rush to order the expulsion of several Taoist priests, which is a bit strange. While expelling the Taoist priests, Qianlong also issued another imperial edict to the eunuchs and maids in the palace, that is, it is forbidden to fabricate false legends about state affairs, "fearing that the empress dowager will be unhappy when she hears them" and "anyone who gossips outside and tells stories to the imperial palace for no reason is an apostate" and "must follow the right path".

Why didn't Emperor Qianlong forbid the eunuchs and maids in the palace to talk nonsense? Is there really something I don't want outsiders to know? Contact Qianlong to deal with the monk's way. Perhaps the theory of "poisoning death" is somewhat possible. And later generations compared the symptoms before Yongzheng's death with modern medical knowledge, and found that Yong Zhengdi's symptoms before his death were very similar to poisoning death. These are just two widely circulated statements. 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.No. Sejong Changyun Jianzhong showed Wu Yingming, Kuan Renxin, Xiao, and Cheng Xiandi. Known as Yong Zhengdi.

Yong Zhengdi's reign was not long, but he left two mysteries: the succession to the throne and the cause of death. Maybe there is nothing magical about these mysteries at all. It's just that the rumors of later generations have put layers of mysterious coats on him, making it difficult to see the truth.
