Since ancient times, the royal power and wealth are the most charming, and I don't know how many people want to sit on the position above ten thousand people, become the lord of the country, and become the most honorable person in the world. For this reason, some people rebel, some people revolt, some people kill the king and kill the father, some people kill the brother and kill the brother...
On July 2, 626, Li Shimin, the Prince of Qin, the son of Tang Gaozu, launched a mutiny at Xuanwumen for the throne, and personally shot the crown prince Li Jiancheng Li Yuanji, successfully ascending the throne and becoming the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the famous Tang Taizong in history.
You must know that Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji are the brothers of Li Shimin's father and mother, and they have exactly the same blood on their bodies.
However, for the sake of the throne, for that seat, he eventually killed his brother and his brother.
In fact, there are not many things like this in history.
Almost every dynasty killed people close to their own blood for the throne, such as Hu Hai of the Qin Dynasty, Zhao Guangyi of the Song Dynasty, Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty...
Of course, there are also dynastic exceptions.
Do you know? In the nearly 300-year history of the Qing Dynasty, not a single one was killed for the throne.
Even if it is known to have occurred during the Kangxi Dynasty, the "Nine Dragons Seizure".
How serious is the Kowloon seizure? The Kangxi Emperor had a total of 24 sons, nine of whom competed for the throne. After becoming emperor, the Yongzheng Emperor did not directly kill his brothers who had competed with him for the throne, he imprisoned them, he did not reuse them, but he did not kill them, but chose to keep them alive.
Do you know?
The eldest brother of the Great Uncle Party, Ai Xinjue Luo Yin, died on December 14, 1212, yongzheng, at the age of 63.
Princeling Aisin Kyora Yinrong died on December 14, 1925, at the age of 51.
The Three Masters' Ai Xin Jue Luo Yin Zhi died of illness on May 19, the tenth leap year of Yongzheng, at the age of 55.
Ai Xin Jue Luo Yin Yu of the Eight Ye Party died in September of the fourth year of Yongzheng at the age of 45; Ai Xin Jue Luo Yin Yu died in the third year of Yongzheng at the age of 43; Ai Xin Jue Luo Yin died in the sixth year of Qianlong at the age of 59; Ai Xin Jue Luo Yin Yu died in Qianlong twenty years at the age of 67.
Indeed, after the Yongzheng Emperor ascended the throne, he began to take revenge on his brothers who had competed with him for the throne, but did not directly kill them.
Why?
Obviously, the Yongzheng Emperor hated them, but why didn't he kill them directly?
Speaking of this, we have to start with the Qing Taizu Nurhaci, who unified the Jurchens and established the Great Jin, and was the founder of the Great Qing. After he established the Houjin Dynasty, he saw that there were many brothers and sisters in the dynasties who killed each other for the throne, so he gave an order and said a word.
"He must not kill his brothers."
As a result, in the nearly 300-year history of the Qing Dynasty, no emperor directly killed his brothers and sisters.
