There are mainly the following theories about the cause of Emperor Yongzheng’s death:
1. Chronic poisoning plus death from overwork due to long-term alchemy, but there are also It might be a cerebral hemorrhage, somewhat similar to Huang Taiji.
2. The famous writer Yue Erhe wrote about the Yongzheng Dynasty. The book said that Yongzheng mistakenly took his own daughter as a concubine. After learning the truth, he was so ashamed that he committed suicide. However, this kind of story is not very credible after all and is more like an unofficial story.
But no matter what, he was not murdered, and there was no reason to harm him. After all, everything Yongzheng did during his reign was beneficial to the country and the people.
As for Yongzheng, the world only evaluates his achievements, which are considered to be more merit than fault and more benefit than disadvantage. After all, he has the limitations of his time and class. Looking at the feudal dynasty for more than two thousand years, there are not many who are better than him.
Generally speaking, Yongzheng belongs to a very small number of accomplished emperors among the feudal dynasties in the past. Of course, he himself has many flaws, but no one is perfect, flaws and flaws are common to all things in the world, so don't be too harsh on him.
