As we all know, in the past dynasties, the new monarch often ascended the throne as a general amnesty, but when Yongzheng ascended the throne, on the second day of the former emperor's reign, he aimed the spearhead at his brother Lao Fourteen Yinzhen, who was thousands of miles away.
When Yongzheng appointed Lao Ba, Lao Thirteen, and the university Shi Maqi and the infantry commander Long Keduo as the prime minister of the prime minister's affairs, he immediately issued an edict recalling the great general Wang Lao Fourteen Yinzhen, ostensibly Yong wanted the old fourteen to return to mourn for Kangxi, but in fact it was to seize the military power of the great general Wang.
In this regard, Yongzheng also made precautionary preparations, and after appointing Yin Zhen's close confidant Yanxin to temporarily take charge of the Great Seal, he also let Nian Qianyao go to Ganzhou to handle military affairs with Yanxin.
When he recalled Yin Zhen, he also let a person accompany him, this person named Arna, who was the deputy governor of Mongolia with a red flag, and this Arna's mission was to monitor Yin Zhen.
It is reasonable to say that after Yongzheng ascended the throne, Yin Zhen, as a brother of a mother's compatriot, had to be awarded the title of prince, but Yongzheng did not do this, but as soon as Yin Zhen arrived in the capital, he put him under house arrest in the Shouhuang Palace and changed his name to Yun Yu.
After the Coffin of Kangxi was transported to Jingling for burial, Yongzheng ordered that Yun Yu be sent to Tangquan near Jingling, and ordered that he should not enter Beijing without following the edict, and also arranged for Ma Lanyu's general Fan Shixuan to monitor Yun Yu's every move.
These fourteen old guards were really deposed under house arrest.
Soon after, Empress Xiaogongren died, and Yongzheng came with another move, mingsheng and secretly degraded, he promoted Yun Yu to the rank of king of the county, but did not give a title, nor did he give feng yin, and his yellow list is still the title of Gushan Beizi.
Why did Yongzheng snub his brother so much? In fact, their relationship has long been in the same water and fire.
As early as 47 years of Kangxi, in the farce of re-electing the new prince, Yongzheng pondered the holy will and transformed from a member of the anti-prince faction into a staunch supporter of Kangxi's restoration of the deposed prince, while Yin Zhen was upset with Yin Yu, who was deposed by Kangxi, and specifically opposed his father, and the angry Kangxi almost cut off his own son.
However, after that, Kangxi did not snub Yin Zhen, but instead gave him a special preferential treatment, often with thousands of gold, and his treatment was no less than that of Yin Chan and others, the Prince of Heshuo.
After the restoration of the deposed prince, he was very angry and arrogant, and as a result, he was deposed and detained again, and Kangxi was extremely disappointed in the deposed prince and began to secretly prepare a plan for the establishment of the reserve.
Judging from the fact that Yin Zhen was awarded special funds in the inner court, commanding troops to conquer Dzungar in the west, and Kangxi arranging for members of the Yun Yu clique, Yin Zhen was most likely kangxi's secret crown prince, and the deposed prince Yin Zhen also thought of seeking this errand, and as a result, he was ruthlessly attacked by Kangxi, and in this way, Yin Zhen began to stand out among the brothers.
And the old Jiu Yunyu, who had always acted recklessly, after pondering Kangxi's appointment of Yin Zhen as the great general queen, felt that the old fourteen was very likely to become a candidate for the crown prince, so he did not hesitate to send the old man to send ten thousand taels of silver many times, and also sent a close eunuch to convey the news of the capital to Yin Zhen, and Yin Chan, who also coveted the throne, was naturally anxious after seeing his brother emerge.
During the critical period, Kangxi's vigorous reuse of Yin Zhen naturally made Yongzheng grit his teeth in hatred.
Although Kangxi did not directly show the documents of Jianchu before his death, Yin Chan was worried that the whole of Korea would tacitly accept Yin Zhen as the heir, knowing that there was no father and son under the throne, let alone two brothers who had already opposed each other and were directly tit-for-tat.
The mother of the two brothers Yin Chan and Yin Zhen was named Empress Xiaogongren Ofe Wuyashi, and Wu yashi's father was only a mid-level officer, so she entered the palace with a humble status, and was promoted to a concubine in the second year of Kangxi's seventeenth year of giving birth to Yin Chen, and two years later became a concubine, and after Yongzheng ascended the throne, her mother became the empress dowager by virtue of her son.
Speaking of Wu Yashi, she was a blessed woman, she gave birth to three sons and three daughters to Kangxi successively, and as a result, the second son died at the age of six, and the two daughters died early, and it was difficult to raise the two sons to adulthood, but the result was like water and fire.
After Yin Zhen was placed under house arrest in Jingling, he was renamed Yun Yu, and soon after being imprisoned, he learned of the death of his birth mother, and at the same time Yongzheng began to attack his brother, And Yun Yu became a nominal county king, not even having a title, and as Yongzheng's position became more stable, his blows against Yun Yu became more severe.
Before the period of filial piety expired, Yongzheng's other political enemies and brothers suffered one after another, first Yun was detained for the crime of seizing the title, and then Yun Yu was demoted from Beizi to auxiliary duke.
In the third year of Yongzheng, Yun Yu was also detained, and in December of the same year, Yun Yu was stripped of the title of Prince and demoted to Gushan Beizi, and not long after, he was stripped of his beizi and sent back to the capital to be imprisoned in the Jingshan Shou Imperial Palace.
A year later, Yongzheng directly informed the whole country of the crimes of Yun Yu and Yun Yu and others in a long edict, and even Yun Yu was added fourteen crimes.
After that, everyone knows, Yun Yu and Yun Yu died after being imprisoned, and Yun Yu was imprisoned in the Shou Emperor's Palace for a full ten years, after Qianlong succeeded to the throne, Yun Yu was released, he was successively named the Duke of Fuguo, Baylor, and then promoted to the King of Gong County, Ren Zheng Huangqi Han Army Commandery.
Although Yongzheng severely cracked down on his brothers, he only targeted the chief evil and the main accessories, and never involved the innocent, like The sons of Yun Rong and Yun Yu were not implicated, and they were later made the king of the county.
Speaking of the reason why Yongzheng was cruel to Yun Yu, there was actually a reason, since he was a child, Yun Yu was talented and intelligent, and he had always been favored by Kangxi, not only often following his father on tour, but also receiving some special preferential treatment in life.
When Yin Chan was made the Prince of Heshuo Yong, Yin Zhen only had the title of Beizi, but Kangxi was very fond of him, and for seven years he always approved the fourteen brothers' family to lead the palace, which seemed that Yin Zhen was particularly favored.
Yin Zhen has a flamboyant personality and has been in close contact with the Eight Brothers Yin Yu, Kangxi forty-seven years, Kangxi once publicly rebuked Yin Zhen for being arrogant and ambitious, like a national thief, and as a result, Yin Zhen stepped forward and said that the Eight Brothers had no selfish intentions and he was willing to protect them.
As soon as this remark came out, the angry Kangxi directly pulled out his saber to kill Yin Zhen, or the fifth brother Yin Qi hugged Kangxi's thigh to dissuade him, and all the brothers were frightened and bowed their heads, which made Kangxi calm his anger a little, and only hit Yin Zhen twenty big plates.
Afterwards, Kangxi had a better understanding of Yin Zhen's consistent and righteous character, so he pampered him even more.
In the fifty-seventh year of Kangxi, the Dzungars invaded Tibet, Yin Zhen became the general of Fuyuan, and led his troops into Qinghai under kangxi's orders to prepare to encircle and suppress the rebels.
At that time, in the white-hot stage of the nine sons and concubines, Kangxi handed over the power of the army to Yin Zhen, and then made a specification of the Tianzi pro-conquest, which was undoubtedly a signal to the outside world that the emperor intended to make Yin Zhen the crown prince.
In the TV series, Wu Sidao explained the mystery to Yin Chan, saying that Kangxi was diverting the attention of the princes, but Yin Chan was angry about this, and was both disgusted and wary of his brother.
The legitimacy of Yin Chan's becoming emperor has always been criticized by people, and even rumors have spread that he has tampered with the will of Emperor Xian, and that the crown prince established by Emperor Xian is actually someone else, who is actually a fourteenth brother, and Yin Zhen's side is naturally ten thousand unhappy about his brother's succession, which makes Yongzheng even more jealous of him, so he changed the name of Yin Zhen more thoroughly, making the name of his father Kangxi unrecognizable and taking a Yunyu.
Kangxi's excessive admiration for the elder fourteen, coupled with Yin Zhen's lack of political acumen and the failure to follow his own brother in the Battle for the Reserve, Yin Zhen may also have the performance of coveting the throne, which laid the foundation for his long-term captivity in the future.
