Yue succeeded Nian Gengyao as Viceroy of Chuan-Shaan from 1725 to 1732. Zeng Jing, a xiucai in Hunan, sent his student Zhang Xi (張熙) to Xi'an in 1728, attempted to incite Yue to organize a plot to overthrow the Manchu-led Qing dynasty. Yue refused him and exposed his plot.[4] Yue was commended by Yongzheng Emperor; Zeng Jing was easily caught and transported to Beijing.
Qing Han Chinese general Yue Zhongqi interviewed the Tibetan collaborator with the Qing, Polhané Sönam Topgyé (P'o-lha-nas) concerning his involvement in crushing the Tibetan rebels and sent a report to the Qing Yongzheng emperor on 17th August, 1728.[5][6]
Yue also participated in Dzungar–Qing Wars. He conquered Tibet and seized Lhasa with the 2,000 Green Standard soldiers and 1,000 Manchu soldiers of the "Sichuan route" in 1720.[7] He was accused of "arrogancy and unlawful act" (驕蹇不法) by Jalangga (查郎阿) and was stripped of official position in 1733. He didn't return to politics until 1748. He participated in Jinchuan campaigns, and later put down the rebellion of Gyurme Namgyal together with Ts'ereng (策楞).
