《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 史景迁’s historical account of the 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 岳钟琪 exposed anti-Qing texts, rural political fantasy, court suspicion, and the making of 《大义觉迷录》.
The source values Spence’s method because the book follows both documents and people. It moves from 张熙’s dangerous errand to 雍正’s memorial reading, 李卫’s search of the 吕留良 household, Zeng Jing’s confessions, and 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.
