In the palace, there has always been a saying that the mother is noble by the son, but whether the son is valued or not depends more on the identity of the mother. Prince Yinxiang of the Qing Dynasty, whose mother was born as a palace girl, although she received kangxi's blessing and gave birth to Yinxiang, she was not valued, let alone canonized. However, Yin Xiang was a competitive and competitive person, and he belonged to the best among many princes, wen and wu, because of his own excellence, and eventually Kangxi began to pay attention to him.
From the age of 12, Kangxi often took him on parades, increasing his knowledge and ability in the process of experience, and his relationship with the fourth brother Yinchen has always been good, the two people are often together, and soon cultivate good feelings. However, after the crown prince was deposed, Kangxi also began to snub Yinxiang, but what was the specific reason? No one has been able to crack it until now.
Later, the fourth brother Yinchen was made the new crown prince, and after he ascended the throne, he reused Yinxiang, and the emperor always remembered this kindness of his knowledge and tried his best to help the emperor. After Yongzheng ascended the throne, there were actually big problems in the Qing Dynasty. Because the late Kangxi dynasty was relatively sluggish and corrupt, and because Kangxi often toured the south, the national treasury was empty, so the pressure on Yongzheng was very large.
Because Yongzheng and Yinxiang have a good relationship, he often entrusts important things to him, and Yinxiang has never lived up to his expectations. When he deals with some corrupt people, no matter what the identity of the other party, he never bends the law for personal gain, and treats them all equally, but because of this matter, he has offended many people. In addition, he often recommended many young and talented people to Yongzheng, and they all became the political force at that time.
Yongzheng was also very grateful to his brother and often rewarded him, but Yin Xiang did not care about these things and often shirked them. Later, there was no way, Yongzheng gave these rewards to the people in his house, so that Yin Xiang could not shirk it. In addition, Yongzheng also felt that these rewards were not at all comparable to his efforts, so in order to show his honor, he planned to give him a knighthood, but he all politely refused.
When Yongzheng succeeded to the throne, he began to choose a cemetery, and he entrusted this matter to Yin Xiang, and after many selections, it was finally settled near Taining Mountain. Yongzheng was very satisfied with the place he had chosen, and he rewarded Yin Xiang with the land of Zhongji next to this land, but Yin Xiang did not dare to accept it, and finally he chose a piece of land in Laishui, 60 miles away, and asked Yongzheng to reward it, and Yongzheng of course agreed.
After Yongzheng agreed, Yin Xiang sent his men to go to that piece of land to go to a handful of soil, and after taking it, he ate a handful of it, so why did he do this? In fact, this still has to be found from the previous nine sons to seize the concubine, Yin Xiang knows that the reason why Yongzheng reused him is because he has no intention of taking the throne, but the fate of those brothers who failed in the conquest was very tragic.
Therefore, Yin Xiang is a wise man, as long as it is a violation of the emperor's reward, he will not accept, he will not accept the emperor's reward of the land of good fortune, if he accepts it, he does not know what fate awaits him, in addition, he swallowed a mouthful of soil, but also reminded the emperor that since the reward can not be taken back, so although there is no big or better reward, but also to save the lives of future generations. In fact, it is also very sad that the brothers have such a meticulous mind, but who is the most ruthless emperor family?
