For Wang Tuan, the prince was the eternal pain in his heart.
Wang Tuan in the "Yongzheng Dynasty", as the teacher of Prince Yinrong, he also spent half his life on Yinrong, and his efforts to Prince Yinrong could even be comparable to that of the Kangxi Emperor. For Wang Tuan, he did not hope that Yin Rong would be able to erect a shrine for his statue after ascending the throne and let him leave his name in history, but he wanted to live up to the instructions granted to him by the Kangxi Emperor and cultivate a qualified monarch for the whole country.
However, the final outcome disappointed Wang Tuan.
The prince's misconduct was widely criticized, and whether it was in behavior, ability, or morality, the Kangxi Emperor was extremely disappointed in him, which led to the occurrence of the Kangxi Emperor's "one deposed crown prince" incident in Rehe. Although Kangxi later restored Yin Rong's position as crown prince, it was a pity that Yin Rong was completely hopeless, not repentant, but only wanted revenge, and even planned a conspiracy rebellion, and finally Yin Rong was deposed by Kangxi for the second and last time, and completely withdrew from the political stage.
Such an ending is undoubtedly a very huge blow to Wang Tuan, an old man who is nearly ancient, after all, he has paid too much for the prince Yin Rong, and this is also for the Kangxi Emperor, for the imperial court, and for the entire country, but now it is all in vain, at this time Wang Tuan's mood is conceivable, and it is not too much to describe it with "heart like ashes".
However, Wang Tuan did not want to give up, he still wanted to do something for Yin Rong, perhaps this is the "stubbornness" of the reader.
Therefore, for Wang Tuan, the opportunity seemed to have come.
In the northwest, the Alabutan rebellion was completely destroyed, and Chuanerdan's 60,000-strong army was completely destroyed, and Kangxi wanted to choose a person from the crown prince to serve as the "Great General King" and lead the large army prince northwest to quell the rebellion.
Therefore, at the court meeting to elect the "Great General King", the Ninth Brother Yinyu took the lead in speaking:
"Fighting in the northwest, it was mainly a general who sat on the helm alone, and the emperor just mentioned the word 'xian' and felt that the eight brothers were the most suitable."
Ten Agora? Also echoed:
"Zhuge Liang can't do martial arts, so he still wins battles."
It can be said that although the Nine Brothers and the Ten Brothers? The speech was made to protect the Eight Brothers, but it also gave Wang Tuan a great opportunity.
On the one hand, no one has spoken before, if you rush to expound ideas and views, not only is it very abrupt, but also may be criticized and excluded, at this time, the Ninth Brother and the Tenth Brother took the lead in speaking, it can be said that in Wang Tuan's view, it is the effect of "throwing bricks and leading jade", just to pick up this stubble to express their ideas.
On the other hand, the words of the Ninth Brother and the Tenth Brother can be said to be just in the heart of Wang Tuan, after all, Yin Rong, like the Eighth Brother Yin, has never fought a war, and it is only natural to introduce Yin Rong through the views of the two princes.
So Wang Said:
"The old minister will be able to hold up one person, and the art of war will be 'the mourning soldier will win', and since he was convicted, the second brother Yinrong has repented with all his heart, and has often thought about making meritorious deeds for his sins in order to redeem his previous regrets."
Wang Tuan knew very well in his heart that this was an opportunity for Yin Rong to turn over again, or even to sit back on the position of prince, after all, Kangxi had also entered his twilight years, such opportunities were indeed not many, moreover, kangxi had already had the experience of restoring Yin Rong, and he also hoped to win this opportunity.
However, Kangxi's idea of Wang Tuan was immediately denied, and he also imposed punitive measures on Yin Rong, which also declared that Wang Tuan's illusion of recommending Yin Rong as the "Great General King" was directly shattered.
In fact, for Wang Tuan, this was also his temptation to the Kangxi Emperor.
At this time, it had been five or six years since Crown Prince Yinrong was imprisoned in Xian'an Palace by Kangxi's order, and At this time, Wang Tuan did not know Kangxi's attitude and thoughts towards Crown Prince Yinrong, so he still had illusions.
Wang Tuan was very clear that this time he recommended Yin Rong to be the "Great General King", even if Kangxi did not let Yin Rong lead the army, rejecting Wang Tuan's suggestion, but he at least let Kangxi understand Yin Rong's repentance, hoping to improve Kangxi's view of Yin Rong, and see what kind of attitude Kangxi had towards Yin Rong at this time.
However, Kangxi's answer made Wang Tuan's heart completely cold.
"He wants to prancing horses on the battlefield, and in the future he will bring soldiers to force the palace?" Since he wanted to ride a horse, he was locked up in the Upper Courtyard? Then simply let him live with the horse. ”
This not only shows that Kangxi at this time still did not forgive Yin Rong, but also did not say that Yin Rong could not regain the position of prince, even if he was free, it was a luxury. From the Kangxi Emperor's resolute answer, Wang Tuan's heart also completely understood that the crown prince had been completely deposed this time, and his hard work had been in vain.
Although Wang Tuan was already extremely disappointed and all his thoughts were gray, at this time, he still thought of this responsibility on his body, since he could not cultivate a qualified prince, then he would support the monarch who thought he was really suitable. Therefore, after this, Wang Tuan began to put all his energy and attention on Yongzheng, in his opinion, Yongzheng is the person who really works hard for the imperial court among all the princes, and at the end of his life, he also helped Yongzheng "shame" Zheng Chunhua, removed a huge constraint and handle of Yongzheng, and then ended his life with suicide, which can also be regarded as helping Yongzheng to complete the last journey.
Finally, I would like to mention that Wang Tuan in the "Yongzheng Dynasty" does have his own person in history, and as in the play, he can also be regarded as a scholar who is full of learning, and he is also a scholar of Wenyuange University during the Kangxi Dynasty, with a high position of authority. In the sixtieth year of The Kangxi Dynasty (1721), Wang Tuan took the initiative to ask Kangxi to restore Yinrong as crown prince, but was reprimanded by Kangxi, and his son was also punished to replace Xi'an, and Wang Tuan himself died during the Yongzheng Dynasty. As a traditional Han intellectual, Wang Tuan's obsession with the "inheritance system of the eldest son of the land" made him insist on recommending Yin Rong ten years after Yin Rong was abolished, and perhaps it was because of this historical background prototype that he was able to be written into the "Yongzheng Dynasty" and became Yin Rong's most staunch supporter.
