At the end of the TV series "Yongzheng Dynasty", a so-called palace farce of the Eight Kings Deliberating on the Government was created, which almost forced Yongzheng into a dead end of stepping down, and in this thrilling scene, the opposition party camp led by Prince Yunyu of Lian, led by the Iron Hat Wang Ye, the lord of the Four Banners, led troops into Beijing to rectify the flag affairs, and prepared to join forces to restore the Eight Kings Deliberative Government in the early Qing Dynasty.
The Eight Kings Deliberative Government, as the name suggests, is the joint meeting of the Eight Banner Lords under the Emperor, which can decide all the important affairs of the imperial court to balance the power of the Emperor.
For the deliberation of the princes and ministers, the Qing Dynasty did have this tradition.
From the four great beylers and five ministers at the beginning of the founding of Nurhaci to the eight and shuobeile joint governance system implemented in the seventh year of the Mandate of Heaven, it is a manifestation of the clan social and military democracy.
The Great Khan was autocratic but could not be dictatorial, and the ministers of Baylor restrained each other, which to a certain extent had already threatened the power of the Khan, and Nurhaci twice tried to choose a crown prince, but was boycotted by the council of the four Great Baylors, and both ended in failure.
In the period of Emperor Taiji, he was supported by the three major baylors such as Yi Daishan, Amin and Mang Gultai, and finally received the ceremonial and listening to the government together with the three baylors, and in the month of his reign, the emperor taiji also established the Eight Gushan Ezhen, the prime minister of the military and political affairs, and then he also set up two classes of sixteen ministers and thirty-two people, or sent troops to garrison and divide the power of the banner lords.
After the death of Emperor Taiji, Dorgon, acting as a regent, constantly forced the Shunzhi Emperor to make him the regent of his uncle and the regent of his father, in fact, he wanted to override the kings and Belle and suppress and weaken the power of the banner lords.
After Shunzhi pro-government, the zhengbai banner under dorgon was changed to the emperor's personal collar, and since then the eight banners have been divided into three banners and five banners.
In fact, the emperor was the co-lord of the Eight Banners, and even more the only banner master of the Three Banners, and in the early years of the Kangxi Dynasty, the two Yellow Banner Ministers, due to the old grudge left by Dolgun, began to suppress the zhengbai banner represented by Suksaha, which was the nest fight of the Three Banners, and the young Tianzi Kangxi was still the common banner master of the Three Banners.
After Yongzheng inherited the throne of Kangxi, he also inherited the Shangsan Banner, at the beginning of his reign, the political environment was not stable, there were many opponents in the DPRK, and the subordinate relationship between the subordinates and the flag owners in the Lower Five Banners still existed, and many of them had close contacts with the leader of the opposition party, Yun Yu, but the Shangsan Banner was absolutely untouchable, even if he was ordered to handle the flag business, he was only a senior manager.
In such a situation, the situation of the old eighth, the old nine and the old ten and the old thirteen in the TV series does not exist, let alone the four iron hat princes?
In the TV series, the situation of the eight kings each lord and one banner, even the three banners of Yongzheng are divided by them, Yun Yu forced the eight kings to discuss the government, which is a naked forced palace, and zhang Tingyu of the old Dragon Bell, although he argues with reason, but has the heart of the savior, but is powerless to break the situation.
If it wasn't for the old thirteen fighting for his last breath and trying to turn the tide, maybe this Yongzheng would have ended early.
Although the plot of the TV series is fictional, it is worth mentioning that at the beginning of Yongzheng's reign, although Roncodo and Nian Qianyao escorted it, it still could not guarantee the stability of the political environment.
Therefore, when Yongzheng first ascended the great treasure and saw all kinds of threats, he directly thought of suppressing the friends and further weakening the privileges of the Five Flags Banner Lord.
Here I would like to tell you about the so-called four iron hat kings outside the Guanwai.
In the Qing Dynasty, there was no title of Prince of Dong, the appearance of Prince Dong was required by the script, and Prince Jian was lineageed in the Yongzheng Dynasty, preserving two brothers for Yarjiang'a and Shen, who were originally the great-grandsons of Prince Zheng of Heshuo and the lord of the Blue Banner, Zilharang.
In the fourth year of Yongzheng, Yaerjiang'a was reprimanded for drinking and stripped of his knighthood, and his fourteenth brother God kept the knighthood, and in the thirteenth year of Qianlong, the gods were also stripped of their knighthood, and they were incapable of threatening the Yongzheng throne.
As for the lineage of Prince Rui, for the Taizong Dynasty's Dolgun, shunzhi eight years, the young death of Dolgun was pulled, and his heir Dolbo was sent back to Duoduoyuanzong, until the forty-third year of Qianlong, Dolgun was rehabilitated, and the Dolbo lineage was posthumously named the hereditary Prince Rui, so the Yongzheng Dynasty did not have a Rui prince.
In the last year of the reign of Prince Guo, Yongzheng made his seventeenth brother YunLi the King of Guojun, and in February of the sixth year, he was promoted to Prince Guo, and his brother could not oppose him.
To tell the truth, there are contents related to the "Eight Kings Deliberating on Politics" in history, but everything is just the opposite, and it is controlled and dominated by Yongzheng.
At that time, Yongzheng had not yet come to power for nine months, at that time, the thirteenth master Yunxiang had not yet become the second chief, although Long Keduo was the commander of the infantry, but his power had not reached its peak, zhang Tingyu was only a rebbe Shangshu, with the title of a prince Shaobao, far from the foreman of the study.
As for the members of the Yun Yu clique, they had long been divided by Yongzheng, for example, Yun Yu, as one of the prime ministers wang ministers, was in charge of the affairs of the Imperial Yuan and the Ministry of Works, And Yun Yu was ordered to serve in the Xining Army and became a key target of surveillance, and Yun Was imprisoned for the crime of private prayer in Zhangjiakou against Yongzheng.
When Yong zheng took the initiative against the flags, the old nine and the old ten had already lost their personal freedom, let alone been active in the political arena.
Yongzheng, who had absolute control over the Upper Three Banners, also began a major change of blood for the main and deputy capitals of the Lower Five Banners, and for dissidents, he found a reason to dismiss and investigate, and for his confidant ministers, he entrusted him with heavy responsibilities.
In addition, Yongzheng also, through the cabinet, further restricted and deprived the kings of the Five Banners of their privileges with the supreme instructions, strictly ordered them to be in charge of the subordinate banners, to pick up all the errands, and in case of negligence, they were locked and imprisoned, they had no family property, and they arbitrarily disturbed the people.
Moreover, Yongzheng also stipulated that the kings of the Lower Five Banners should make personnel arrangements, and they must ask the emperor for advice, and only after they are approved can they be carried out, and they will be implemented together with the guanqi.
The members of the Three Banners of the Upper Three Banners can only serve the Emperor, and not only must they be withdrawn from under the kings, but also the clans that were originally subordinate to the kings, Kyaw Lo and other zo lords, must also be merged into the Three Banners.
The flag bearers were forbidden to use service personnel exclusive to the emperor.
Finally, I would like to emphasize that the act of dividing the power of the five flag masters began as early as the late Kangxi period, and Kangxi had repeatedly appointed the crown prince to manage the flag affairs, weakening the power of the prince Belle.
Yongzheng was more powerful than his father's blow, and for the Yunyu clique, he chose to purge to the end and control the imperial power in his own hands to the greatest extent, so the so-called Eight Kings Discussion was doomed to failure, and Yongzheng had already begun to act.
