I believe that many friends should have seen the "Yongzheng Dynasty" drama, the play of "Nine Sons And Nine Sons Seizing Concubines" can be called wonderful, the battle for the throne was not temporarily declared over until After Yongzheng took the throne, but after Yongzheng ascended the throne, the struggle for imperial power still did not stop, the Eight Ye Party was secretly looking at the tiger, and finally wanted to intervene in the korean situation by restoring the Eight Kings' deliberations, but at the critical moment, the old thirteenth Yin Xiang came forward to foil the conspiracy, and the Eight Ye Party withdrew from the political stage in a daze.
As the eighth son of Kangxi, Yin Yu was known as the Eight Sages, after the crown prince Yin Rong was deposed, the voice of the old eight was the highest in the court, and even later when the eight kings discussed the government and forced the palace, many ministers in the court sided with Yin Yu, for such a capable prince, why did Kangxi always exclude him from the list of candidates for the crown prince?
Speaking of the reasons why the old eight did not enter the eyes of the Kangxi Law, the author probably thought of a few, if there is a deficiency, you can add one or two.
The first reason is the loss of public wealth and private interest
In the opening chapter of the TV series, it is mentioned that the Yellow River is flooded, and Kangxi duan sits in the Golden Ruan Hall, waiting for the princes and ministers to discuss, at this time, the crown prince Yin Ronggang and his mother Zheng Chunhua stole the love, hurried to the main hall, in the face of Kangxi's questioning, Yin Rong was still immersed in Zheng Chunhua's gentle township and did not ease up, for a time the words did not reach the intention, full of loopholes.
On the other hand, Old Eight Yinchen made a generous statement and successively proposed plans such as grain transfer and appropriation, but as a result, he was severely beaten in the face by Old Fourth Yinchen in the temple.
It turned out that the national treasury had long been empty, the remaining silver was only half a million taels, and the grain was seriously insufficient, and the so-called grain allocation plan of lao Ba ti was purely a castle in the air, and could not be implemented at all, so Kangxi could only send the fourth and thirteenth to Jiangnan to provide relief funds, and after that, the famous treasury deficit case of the Qing Dynasty gradually surfaced.
When Yin Chan was cleaning up the household department, he found that the deficit in the national treasury was very serious, and at that time, officials at all levels actually lent out more than 10 million taels of the national treasury and embezzled it. And who lent it out? In the end, it is inseparable from the old Eight Yin Yu.
Before the Yellow River flooded, Kangxi put Yin Yu in charge of the household department, but Yin Yu used his power in his hands to open the door of convenience and use the treasury to buy people's hearts, at that time, officials at all levels who had money and no money, as long as they needed money, they would borrow from the treasury, and Lao Ba directly emptied the treasury, so there was a dilemma that the Yellow River flooded and the imperial court could not get money.
More than ten million taels of Treasury silver were not lent out for a day or two, and these old eight used the generous people he created to win the reputation of the Eight Sages for themselves, so when the new prince was elected, the DPRK showed a one-sided trend, and many ministers sided with Yin Yu.
After Kangxi found that the treasury was hollowed out, it was imperative to recover the treasury silver, at this time, if the old eight took the initiative to stand up and make up for the merits, Kangxi could still look up to him, but the old eight became a shrunken-headed turtle, and directly recommended the old fourth to come out to wipe his ass, here it is obvious that the old eight Yin Yu is insufficient, which is also an important reason why Kangxi is unwilling to hand over the Great Qing Jiangshan to him.
Mentioning yin yu again about enticing the pit prince is really detrimental to others and self-interest
The fundamental purpose of the founding of the Eighth Master Party was to seize the wife, and the biggest stumbling block hindering his path to success was the Prince Yin, who had many eyes and ears, and the Prince's every move was under their attention all the time, which led to many handles of the Prince being held by yin yu in their hands.
In his later years, Kangxi was exhausted because of the seizure of the ninth son, and he was tired of managing the government, so he temporarily entrusted the country to the prince to take care of, and as a result, the prince not only did not make political achievements, but made a mess of the situation.
Faced with the problem of the emptiness of the treasury, Yin Rong not only did not stop the loss in time, but borrowed money from the treasury like those unscrupulous corrupt officials, and later the imperial court began to pursue the action of confiscating the treasury silver, and the prince began to sell the official in order to repay the debt and fill the hole, and as a result, a major unjust case of the Punishment Department was brewed.
For this appalling, imposter extraordinarily unjust case, Kangxi originally wanted to let the fourth elder take the lead in the trial, but the old eighth saw the opportunity to overthrow the prince, began to flock to it, and also actively consulted Tong Guowei and asked him to help win, plus the fourth elder deliberately "sick" to cooperate, the old eighth Yin yu finally took over this hot potato.
As a god in the Fourth Master's Mansion, Wu Sidao did not let the Fourth Master take over this case, mainly because the prince was involved, the investigation was shallow, ineffective, and the investigation was deep, once it was found on the prince's head, it was afraid of shaking the foundation of the imperial court, and it would not be possible to steal the chicken and not become a corrosive rice.
Old Eight has always been resourceful, but still confused, he can be a pit prince, but also night trial Xiao Guoxing, correction said that it is the emperor's meaning, let Xiao Guoxing write a whistle to expose the prince, played to Kangxi overnight, which made Kangxi can't help but be surprised, and after consulting with Zhang Tingyu, finally assigned Xiao Guoyu to Ningguta, so that the case was hastily closed.
On the way, Xiao Guoxing complained that the eighth master had lost his trust in others, and Tu Lichen reported the matter to Kangxi, who was angry and scolded the old eight for his heart, so the old eight completely lost the sacred heart and was no longer eligible for the crown prince's position.
The third point is that there is too much indebtedness to people, and Yu Is uneasy
Kangxi ruled the country with benevolence, and the old eight learned from him everywhere, and the result was that the way was not used correctly, he only knew how to blindly buy people's hearts, but he ignored that this was not the way to govern the country at all, so Kangxi stressed before his death that the old eight ruled the country with leniency and benevolence would inevitably be wrong.
As mentioned above, Lao Ba bluntly hollowed out the national treasury, and this bad influence was not completely resolved until Yongzheng took the throne, and what was more serious was that officials from the provinces of the DPRK and China followed suit and hollowed out the local treasury silver, resulting in yongzheng in the northwest, there was no silver, and only copied several big families in Jiangning and Suzhou, and only reluctantly collected military salaries.
Second, to make a wish for others to be official, I owe too much affection. The core of the Eight Masters Party was several princes headed by Yin Yu, and then tong Guowei, Ma Qi, and heavyweight officials from various yamen, such as the first assistant of the upper study, all had close contacts with the old eight, and the power of the Eight Masters Party also infiltrated the local officials of the provinces, such as governors, inspectors, and envoys.
When Kangxi deposed the crown prince, the Ming edict ordered the Beijing officials and local officials to elect a new prince, and as a result, the Eight Ye Party was connected from top to bottom, and there was also internal and external collusion, and hundreds of officials jointly recommended lao ba to become the prince, and this one-sided spectacle moved Kangxi.
The old eighth official's wishing really angered Kangxi, and it should be known that the officials who hold the merits of the dragon will inevitably be arrogant and difficult to control, which will make the corrupt officials even more unbearable, so Kangxi will definitely not pass the throne to the old eighth.
In the Yongzheng Dynasty, the emperors of successive dynasties will often deliberately suppress some ministers in order to let the new monarchs who succeed to the throne better control those able subjects, so that the new monarchs can be promoted and reused after they ascend the throne, in the "Yongzheng Dynasty", Kangxi demoted Zhang Tingyu and Ma Qi before his death, in order to give Yongzheng a chance to give him a chance to give grace, and the old eighth, if he ascends the throne, this is a big wave of human affection, in the end it is either to kill the ministers, or the country is hollowed out, and if kangxi is watching the fire, he will not let the old eighth succeed to the throne.
On the other hand, Yongzheng became a lone minister in the true sense, because the orphan minister lacked people to support him, and he would not owe human affection, and in the end it was a light rule.
epilogue
Although the old Eight Yin Yu had the reputation of the Eight Sages, but he was doing things that sacrificed the interests of the state, Kangxi would definitely not let him inherit the throne, and the indulgence and support for the Eight Ye Party, on the one hand, was for the convenience of screening and handling in the future, on the other hand, it was yongzheng's experience, if he could successfully cope with these situations, he could sit firmly on the throne in the true sense.
