Why Yongzheng couldn't tolerate Nian Gengyao is still a question with many different explanations. Some historians believe that although Nian Gengyao had high military talents, he had great conflicts with the Manchu nobility, which made him unable to gain Yongzheng's trust and reuse. Other scholars believe that Nian Gengyao was dissatisfied with Yongzheng's dictatorship. He had given many suggestions to Yongzheng, but these suggestions were regarded as challenges to his rule by Yongzheng, so Nian Gengyao lost Yongzheng's trust and favor. Some people believe that Nian Gengyao's removal from office and deprivation of his peerage might be related to the interests of the forces and classes he represented at that time.

Regardless of the explanation, Nian Gengyao's experience reflects the complexity and cruelty of the officialdom in the Qing Dynasty. The political system led by the Manchu people in the Qing Dynasty had to face not only the rebellion and challenges from the Han Chinese scholars and officials, but also the ethnic conflicts in Mongolia, Tibet, Hui and other regions, which brought great challenges to the rulers. In this context, no matter whether a person was Han Chinese or other ethnic minorities, only by gaining the trust and favor of the emperor could he protect his status and interests. However, once he lost the trust and favor of the emperor, even if he had been highly respected for his achievements, he might still end up with a bleak outcome.

However, Nian Gengyao was not without fault. During his tenure as the governor of Sichuan, he had over-levied taxes and taxes, which brought great burden and dissatisfaction to the local people, and even led to civil unrest and unrest. In addition, he was also dissatisfied by Yongzheng Emperor for excessive corruption and abuse of power.

Some other historians have also put forward some other possibilities. Nian Gengyao was removed from office when Yongzheng Emperor's suppression of the Han Chinese became increasingly strong, because Yongzheng Emperor began to implement a policy of excluding the Han Chinese, while Nian Gengyao was a very influential Han Chinese in the history of the Qing Dynasty. Some scholars believe that Yongzheng Emperor mainly removed Nian Gengyao from office because he wanted to strengthen the royal power, while Nian Gengyao was a minister with huge power, who might pose a threat to this goal.

Regardless of the explanation, Nian Gengyao's removal from office and execution order led his political career and life to different directions. He was once a famous minister in the Qing Dynasty, but ultimately he was demoted for various reasons, which affected his family and descendants.
