Character ending

Treason

According to biographies of the Qing Dynasty, in the winter of 1673 (the 12th year of Kangxi), Wu Sangui, king of Pingxi, rebelled against the Qing Dynasty in Yunnan and Guizhou, while Cao Shenji rebelled. Cao Shenji is fond of writing poems, attracting tourists, fishing for fame and treason. Wu Sangui was suspicious of human nature. Most of the people who came down were killed, but Cao Shenji didn't know what to do.

On October 25, 1783, Emperor Qianlong instructed the national history museum to compile the biography of rebellious ministers with the biography of Erchen as an example. Cao Shenji was included in the biography of rebellious officials.

On martyrdom

It can be seen in local chronicles and folk works.

In the winter of 1673 (the 12th year of Kangxi), Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi, rebelled against the Qing Dynasty in Yunnan. Guizhou's troops were limited and the provincial capital was lost. He was captured in Yangming cave. In 1680 (the 19th year of Kangxi), he attempted to be rehabilitated and was robbed in Yunnan after the incident. So he was killed in Shuangta temple in Kunming on December 5, 1681 (January 24, 1681). He was 46 years old. In 1683 (the 22nd year of Kangxi), his coffin was transported back to his hometown from Yunnan. Emperor Kangxi thought that he had descended to Wu and called him a "rebellious minister". Later, it became clear that Emperor Yongzheng revoked his accusation, and Emperor Qianlong completely rehabilitated him and admitted him to the martyrs' temple. There is a biography of xuanqiu county annals by Kangxi of Qing Dynasty.
