The case of Nian Gengyao is full of strange events. Why did Yongzheng execute Nian Gengyao? Since the middle of the Qing Dynasty, different scholars have made various speculations on the Yongzheng murder case based on conspiracy theories, fatalism and imperial autocracy. However, the differences among the various theories coexist, making the case a suspenseful and unsolved mystery for more than 200 years. Professor Chen Xiaofeng of Wuhan University made an in-depth analysis of the internal strife between the clan party, the Kejia party and the capable veteran party during the reign of Emperor Kangxi and Yongzheng, and analyzed in detail the process of Yongzheng using the Nian Gengyao case to eliminate the cliques in the court and the purpose of murdering people. With a profound academic background in the history of the Chinese legal system, the author analyzes the characteristics of Nian Gengyao's ninety-two crimes, the application of criminal law, extrajudicial punishment, and post-penalty pardon and other special features of the legal operation in the early Qing Dynasty based on the "Annotated Bylaws of the Qing Dynasty Code Collection". It also focused on analyzing the strange fate of Nian Gengyao, who was convicted of treason, but was only sentenced to death for himself, implicated the eldest son, and immediately returned the Nian residence after the execution, and the Nian family returned to the capital, as well as the deceitful tactics involved. The author of the book also focuses on analyzing the character of Emperor Yongzheng and the impact of prophecies and prophecies on the vicissitudes of political affairs in the politics of the early Qing Dynasty. He also analyzes in detail the key role that the five-star couplets and prophecies during the case, especially the death of the white tiger in Nian's house, played in Yongzheng's determination to kill Nian Gengyao. In conjunction with the crimes committed by Nian Gengyao, the book comprehensively introduces the general rules of bad officialdom, official conduct, worldly customs, and despicable etiquette during the Kang and Yong reigns that caused trouble and led to executions in the political situation of Kang and Yong. In particular, it also analyzes the institutional causes of Yong Zheng's use of the secret system to instigate relations among ministers and form decisive powers. The author of this book painstakingly analyzes the authenticity of various legends in Kangxi's edict, uniquely puts forward the political choices that should be taken when Emperor Kangxi is about to return to heaven, and effectively demonstrates the important influence of military power, especially the control of the internal guards, in the succession of the throne. This explanation was put forward in the summer of 2012, and it is completely consistent with the interpretation of the original Manchu version of Kangxi's will discovered by the Shenyang History Museum in 2013 in old Manchu documents. As a follow-up to the analysis of the case, Professor Chen Xiaofeng also sharply analyzed the incident in which Yongzheng killed Nian Gengyao but retained his adopted son Yue Zhongqi as the legacy of the faction. After liquidating the parties, he used Yue's backhand to kill the Kejia Party. He summarized the unique tactics used by the emperor to use the forces of various factions in the changing political situation, allowing readers to gain the pleasure of reading the history of centralized political forms.

In the process of handling ethnic relations in Chinese dynasties, "harmony" has always been an important policy and measure that has attracted much attention and has been controversial. Although "harmony" began in the early Western Han Dynasty, its origin can be found in the political marriages of the Pre-Qin period. The peacemaking in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties inherited the legacy of peacemaking in the Han Dynasty and started the climax of peacemaking in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. It was an important turning period in the development history of peacemaking in ancient China. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the most distinctive ones were those with Tibet and the Uighurs. It not only set the precedent for the Central Plains dynasty to use "true princesses" to make peace, but also expanded the scope of the marriage from the north and the Central Plains to the southwest for the first time. The Mongolian and Yuan Empire took "harmony" to the extreme in targeting different ethnic groups and political regimes, and eventually became the first central government established by an ethnic minority in Chinese history. The marriage between Manchu and Mongolia is not only the end of the history of marriage in ancient China, but also one of the most distinctive marriage paradigms, reflecting the distinctive characteristics of "Manchu and Mongolia as one". In the endless stream of history, Heqin has made important contributions to the integration and cohesion of the Chinese nation from a unique perspective.
