Yong Zhengdi cleaned up Nian Gengyao and Roncado. Why didn't he get rid of Zhang?

Why did Yongzheng deal with Nian Gengyao and Roncodo, who played an important role in his accession to the throne?

Actually, this question is easy to answer. There is such a joke:

A asks B: Do you know what 1+ 1 is?

B answer: 2.

A pulled out his gun and killed B. He said calmly, You know too much!

Yes, one of the main reasons why Nian Gengyao and Longkodo were cleaned up by Yongzheng was that they knew too much. In the process of Yongzheng's struggle for the throne, both of them participated deeply and played a great role. Some of the details were unknown to outsiders, but the deceased was the most reliable! Especially later, after Yin Zhen ascended the throne, they tried to have in-depth contact with the May Party, and even violated the lamella of Yongzheng.

Then, Zhang also participated in the battle for the throne of the prince. Why didn't Yongzheng get rid of it?

Let's talk about Zhang first. He only stepped into the eyes of Kangxi in his later years, and Kangxi especially liked him and took a fancy to him. He can be said to be the full-time secretary of Kangxi.

Yongzheng and Zhang

His father's name is Zhang Ying. He is a university student in Wenhua Hall of the imperial court and a minister of rites. So he is very aware of the internal and external struggles of the court under his father's ear. I have long wanted to be an outsider. Therefore, although he wanted to participate in the battle for the throne in Kangxi's later years, he always acted cautiously, so Kangxi trusted him all the more. At the beginning of Yongzheng's accession to the throne, he needed people who could do things without talking nonsense and know the truth. Therefore, a deep and introverted person like Zhang can also win the love and trust of Yongzheng.

Nian Gengyao

At the same time, Zhang's own talents are comprehensive, his mind is clear, and he knows how to be measured and advance and retreat. So for Yongzheng, he is a kind of mentor, so he will not be suspected by Yongzheng. Moreover, Zhang's personality determines that he is not a person who likes to pull gangs, which also makes Yongzheng feel a little relieved.

Nian Gengyao and Long Keduo's Manchu identity made them close to Yongzheng in essence. After getting some credit, they don't know how to converge, and naturally they are not far from death. And Zhang is a Han Chinese. At that time, there was a big gap between Han Chinese and Manchu, and he was very cautious, so he worked in Kang Yong for three dynasties and was a central official.

Lancodo

Although we know that in the Qianlong dynasty, we were severely ridiculed by Qianlong because we didn't understand the times, we were also happy to pretend to be deaf and dumb, pretending to be a person who wanted to fight for his own life, which made Qianlong very disgusted. Although the result is not very good, his life is safe. Otherwise, with his years of experience in the central organization, I'm afraid the emperor will get rid of him sooner or later. By contrast, a nickname is nothing!
