《雍正王朝之大义觉迷》 / Treason by the Book
《雍正王朝之大义觉迷》 / Treason by the Book is [[JonathanSpence|史景迁]]’s historical account of the [[ZengJing|曾静]] case discussed in 11.雍正王朝之大义觉迷：史景迁笔下的千古奇案. The episode presents the book as a highly readable reconstruction of how a letter to [[YueZhongqi|岳钟琪]] exposed anti-Qing texts, rural political fantasy, court suspicion, and the making of [[DaiYiJueMiLu|《大义觉迷录》]].
The source values Spence’s method because the book follows both documents and people. It moves from [[ZhangXi|张熙]]’s dangerous errand to [[YongzhengEmperor|雍正]]’s memorial reading, [[LiWeiQingOfficial|李卫]]’s search of the [[LuLiuliang|吕留良]] household, Zeng Jing’s confessions, and [[QianlongEmperor|乾隆]]’s later reversal. The result is a case study in 清代谣言政治 / Qing Rumor Politics, Imperial Public Rebuttal / 皇帝公开辩驳, and Political Propaganda Backfire / 政治宣传反噬 rather than only a tale of failed rebellion.
