In other words, there were 12 iron hat kings in the Qing Dynasty. Among them, there is Prince Yi. At the beginning, the first Prince Yi was Yin Xiang, the thirteenth son of the Kangxi Emperor. Because, after the fourth prince Yin Chan succeeded to the throne, he was reused and was named the Prince of Heshuoyi, so the Family of Prince Yi was once very brilliant. However, how did such a glorious family fall? Let's go and investigate together.
First of all, at that time, Ai Xin Jueluo Yinxiang was the closest to Yin Chan the Prince of Yong, so the Yongzheng Emperor treated him unusually. After becoming the Prince of Heshuoyi and serving as a parliamentary minister, he fully assisted the Yongzheng Emperor in governing the country. In the seventh year of Yongzheng, after the Mongolian Dzungars once again harassed the frontier, Yin Xiang also served as the minister of the two military aircraft in the northwest to fight against the Mongolian Dzungars, so it can be said that his life was a meritorious achievement.
It was precisely because of this that he, the Iron Hat King, was granted the permission of hereditary resignation and became the ninth Iron Hat King in the history of the Qing Dynasty at that time. For this reason, when the Prince Yi family is in its most glorious moment, some people can scare everyone just by taking the name of "Prince Yi". Of course, at this point, I believe that there will definitely be officials who will ask, "You are this nonsense, as a generation of princes, it is naturally very powerful, is it not scary to death by the names of other princes?" ”
You don't have to say that during the Qing Dynasty, other princes were just not as good as Prince Yi. Because, the rulers of the Qing Dynasty believed that the reason why the Ming Dynasty led to the proliferation of aristocratic privileges was because there were too many descendants of the Zhu clan. To this end, out of the need to learn lessons, the system of the Qing Dynasty's kingship was very streamlined, and there were only 12 hereditary princes in total for hundreds of years, which is what we often call the Great Qing Iron Hat King.
As for the other princes, they are sad. If you are a prince, then your son is the king of the county. When your grandson's generation becomes Baylor, and the great-grandson is naturally the shell. Therefore, the other princes really cannot be compared with the Prince Yi family. Even, it can be said that the difference is too far. Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to be crowned king of the Iron Hat if you are not a particularly meritorious person, even though you are also the emperor's own son.
So, what kind of merit did Yin Xiang make for the Yongzheng Emperor? There are at least three points that no one else can surpass. 1. In the nine sons and wives, firmly on the side of Yongzheng; 2. Good at financial management, the important national policy promoted by the Yongzheng Emperor, "spreading the land into the acre", which was yinxiang was responsible for implementing; 3. Recommended many talents for the country, including Li Wei, a Han official whom the Yongzheng Emperor trusted very much.
Of course, flowers are not red for a hundred days, and people are not good for a thousand days. When the gears of history turned to the eleventh year of Xianfeng and the death of the Xianfeng Emperor, the throne of Prince Yi passed to the hands of the last Prince of Yi, Zaiyuan, who was defeated in the process of competing with Empress Dowager Cixi for power, and was first deposed by Empress Dowager Cixi as an eight-point auxiliary duke, and then given bai Aya to commit suicide. Since then, prince Yi's family has gone into decline, and a total of eight generations and nine people have been passed down.
In short, when did the Family of Prince Wang Yi of the Great Qing Iron Hat fall? That was after the coup d'état. (Lv Haifeng)
