In the case of the absurd injustice of "buying life with money" occurred in the Punishment Department, Prince Yinrong had to bear the most important responsibility no matter what.
In the plot of "Yongzheng Dynasty", the curtain has just fallen on the debt owed by the household department, and a ridiculous case that shocks the dynasty once again impacts Yin Rong's long-crumbling position as a prince.
Although the main culprits in the case, including Ren Bo'an, Ren Ji'an, Liu Ba'nü, and others, were all disciples or henchmen of the Ninth Brother Yinyu, after all, the emergence of the unjust case exposed the major flaws in the entire judicial criminal name system of the imperial court, as well as the corruption situation of the officials of the criminal department and local judicial bureaucrats at all levels. In particular, this time is an important case of "human life is at stake", which not only dealt a great blow to the majesty of the imperial court, but also directly shook the foundation of rule, which can be described as far-reaching.
In fact, it does prove that even though Yin Rong was not directly involved in it, he was still the "initiator" without compromise.
If it were not for his greed and extravagance, he would not have taken much more silver than other princes, and he would have been able to make a deficit of nearly half a million taels in the hu tribe, becoming the biggest "creditor" of the household department's debts.
If it were not for the connivance of his opponents, then the ministers and officials of the Punishment Department, including Sima Shang, Huang Tiren, Xiao Guoxing, and others, would not have dared to carry out such an act that was not tolerated by the laws of heaven and the state under his banner, and their purpose was also to enrich the Yin Rong network.
If it were not for Yin Rong's dereliction of duty and disregard for his subordinates, and thus failed to fulfill his duty of "acting on behalf of heaven", then such a major unjust case would not have been revealed until the time when the person was finally about to be executed.
It is precisely because of this that when the incident occurred, all the spearheads were invariably directed at The Crown Prince Yin, who and the Punishment Department he was in charge of became the focus of attention of all the people, including Kangxi, and Kangxi's disappointment and resentment towards Yinrong could be imagined.
Because of the previous unsatisfactory actions, the prince became the biggest loser in this unjust case of the Criminal Department.
At the beginning of the plot of "Yongzheng Dynasty", floods occurred in the Yellow River Valley, and the people in many provinces were displaced, and the imperial court actually found that the national treasury was so empty at this time, although this should have been the responsibility of the Eight Brothers Yinyu who was in charge of the household department, but the crown prince Yinrong, who cooperated with the acting government affairs as the overseer of the state, did not conduct any investigation at all, resulting in the final result of evil results, which can be said to be a major responsibility.
In the process of "chasing the arrears of the household department", Yin Rong made more mistakes. First, he was the largest creditor of the household department, and in order to conceal the debts of his and his cronies, he actually concealed the list; second, after his own debt problem was leaked, he even sold the official and the lord to repay the debt, which had a bad impact; third, Kangxi's attitude toward the collection of debts was very resolute, but Yin Rong actually made a decision to postpone the repayment in two installments, so that Kangxi's plan was bankrupt, and the problem of the emptiness of the national treasury was not solved.
It can be said that it is precisely because of the existence of these problems that Kangxi is very disappointed in the crown prince Yinrong, and this time there has been such a ridiculous unjust case in the punishment department in charge of Yinrong, and Kangxi is ready to teach the prince a lesson, so he will choose one of the princes to conduct a thorough investigation.
Of course, the person Kangxi most wanted to carry out this errand in his heart at this time was Yongzheng. On the one hand, Yongzheng has a general understanding, takes into account the overall situation, knows how to grasp the measure, and will not hurt the essence of the prince; on the other hand, Yongzheng has a very serious attitude towards things, which will inevitably deter Yin Rong, and then let Yin Rong understand the seriousness of the situation.
However, yongzheng did not muddy the waters under the advice of Wu Sidao, and Kangxi was not able to refute the positive attitude of the Eight Brothers, so he arranged for the Eight Brothers to thoroughly investigate the unjust cases of the Punishment Department.
What Kangxi did not expect was that the Eight Brothers would grasp almost all the evidence of Prince Yinrong's crimes from the way of enticing Xiao Guoxing, and the seriousness of his evil deeds also shocked Kangxi.
Although Kangxi only lightly described the crown prince with the phrase "this son of Yuan's son was ill", from the time he was in Rehe, Kangxi did not allow Yin Rong to receive the Mongol princes, directly withheld the wishes given to Yin Rong by foreign ministers, and so on, etc., these acts invariably showed Kangxi's disappointment in Yin Rong.
Yin Rong also became extremely panicked and uneasy in Kangxi's sharp change of attitude, and was eventually deposed by Kangxi directly at Rehe.
Even though the main culprits in the case were all the doormen of the Ninth Brother Yinyu, the use of a move to "give up the car to protect the marshal" made the Ninth Brother retreat.
It was Ren Ji'an who committed the murder, Liu Ba'an who was responsible for finding someone to meet his life, and Ren Bo'an who was responsible for collusion and bribery, and they were all the disciples of the Ninth Brother Yinyu without exception.
Judging from the performance of the "Eight Masters" people, they tried their best to draw a clear line with these people from the very beginning.
First of all, The Eight Brothers and others will have all the letters, books, gifts, etc. related to these criminals, but all those with their names will be destroyed.
Secondly, at the scene of the trial, the Ninth Brother Yinyu personally bound Ren Ji'an and Liu Banu, and then escorted them to the lobby, and repeatedly stressed the need to enforce the law impartially.
Again, after the end of the daytime trial, The Eighth Brother Yinyu rushed to the cells of Ren Ji'an and Liu Banu overnight, repeatedly instructing that this matter had nothing to do with the Ninth Brother Yinyu, and repeatedly confirmed with the two.
After these moves, the Ninth Brother Yinyu seems to be a righteous and judgmental, righteous and exterminating relatives, and it is precisely such a practice of "abandoning the car to protect the marshal", so that the Ninth Brother Yinyu is alone and has no fault.
Of course, the Eighth Brother Yinyu was also to avoid the long night dream, directly came to a night to interrogate Xiao Guoxing, it can be said that there was no reaction or time for Kangxi, Yin Rong, Thirteen Brother Yinxiang and Yongzheng, and others to report the results to Kangxi, and Kangxi also wanted to avoid further expansion of the situation, so he also understood the case and no longer pursued the transition, so the Ninth Brother Yinyu was also safe, and then retreated completely.
It's just that the practice of the Eight Brothers can be said to be "smart but mistaken by smart".
After this, the Eight Brothers Yin Yu can be described as infinite scenery, not only was he named the title of county king, but also replaced the crown prince Yin Rong as a feast to accompany the Mongol princes, and Yin Yu must have felt that the whole thing was done seamlessly. However, Tu Lichen, who kangxi sent to escort Xiao Guoxing, returned to Rehe and explained to Kangxi that Yin Yu had seduced Xiao Guoxing under the guise of Kangxi.
For this, Kangxi was extremely angry. This is not only because Yin Yu's deceitful and false righteousness made Kangxi very disgusted, but also because Yin Yu's ambition to overthrow the prince and replace him was already obvious, and even in order to achieve this goal, he did not hesitate to use such despicable means, which must be spurned by the Kangxi Emperor, who always advocated "benevolence" to rule the world.
Although the Eight Brothers Yin Yu seemed to be extremely beautiful on the surface, Kangxi's sentence "His heart can be cursed" already showed that from this time on, Yin Yu had been completely excluded from the list of succession candidates by Kangxi, but Yin Yu was completely unaware of this matter, and finally paid a painful price.
