The name of this minister who died eight years ago was Aling'a. The reason why Yongzheng added the words on his tombstone was to make him infamous for thousands of years. It's because he was the core figure of his mortal enemy, Eighth Prince.
This Aling'a was also highly used during the Kangxi period, but when he chose to take sides, he chose to move closer to Ba Ye, who was also a member of the so-called Ba Ye Party. Some of the things he did made Yongzheng hate him to the bone. When the prince was deposed, Kangxi planned to choose a new prince. Aling'a secretly colluded with the ministers to help Ba Ye win votes, but Aling'a finally failed. Because Kangxi regretted it and reset the prince again. Kangxi was very angry when he found out what Aling'a had done, and even suppressed the Eighth Master. As Master Ba's lackey, Aling'a planned to avenge his master, so he blamed Yongzheng for the incident. He said that he was from Yongzheng and had been helping Si Age to canvass votes.
This made Yongzheng embarrassed in front of Qianlong for a time, and even fell out of favor. Anyone would hate Al Ling'a, so Yong Zheng really hated Al Ling'a deeply. Later, Aling'a died in the fifty-fifth year of Kangxi, and Yongzheng also ascended the throne. The suppression of the Baye Party began the next year, and the first person to be liquidated was the dead Aling'a. Yongzheng even said to his younger brother: "Aling'a and I have an irresponsible hatred." Yongzheng cited many evidences of Aling'a's crimes. How to punish a dead person? After much deliberation, Yongzheng had no choice but to start with the tombstone, so eight words appeared on the tombstone: "He is not a subordinate, he is not a brother, he is violent, he is violent, he is greedy for mediocrity." Moreover, Yongzheng also chose to let the eighth prince personally add inscriptions on Aling'a's tomb. This approach not only humiliated the eight, but also suppressed their power.
"The tomb of Al Ling'a, the disobedient, violent, greedy and mediocre man", these few words made Al Ling'a a sycophant who will be notorious for thousands of years.
