Taking advantage of Yongzheng's serious illness, the old Eight Yin Yu attempted to take advantage of the reason of rectifying the flag affairs to unite with the banner lord Wang Ye of Guanwai to propose at the Great Dynasty Meeting to restore the ancestral system of "eight kings deliberating on government", so as to empty Yongzheng and seize the throne.
In order to ensure that nothing was lost, Yin Yu not only united the four banner lord princes this time, but also pulled the emperor's third son Hongshi and Long Keduo, who controlled the defense of the nine gates of the capital, into the camp of the forced palace. Under the guise of rectifying the flag camp, the soldiers and horses brought by the banner lord Wang Ye were stationed in the Fengtai camp and the Xishan Ruijian camp, and the peripheral military power of the garrison Beijing Division was controlled. The defense of the two large battalions outside the city was taken over, and there were Ronkodo and the infantry commander Yamen in the city to do the internal response, and even Yin Yu himself said: "Now there is at least 90% of the chances of victory, and 10% is not counted by people, but by heaven!" Unexpectedly, Yin Yu's defeat was defeated in this "heavenly calculation", and he finally fell short and ended up with the tragic end of raiding the family and seizing the knighthood.
So why did Yin Yu rack his brains and carefully design the farce of "forcing the palace" end in failure?
The Yongzheng Emperor who had long been expected
When the third son of the emperor, Hongshi, proposed to let the flag lord Wang Ye enter the capital and jointly rectify the flag affairs, Yongzheng, who had been leaning on the cushion, suddenly sat up and asked solemnly: "Who said this to you?" This shows that Yongzheng was keenly aware of the threat posed by letting the flag lord Wang Ye enter Beijing together, but after weighing the pros and cons, he decided to implement a plan to capture the situation and agreed that they would jointly enter Beijing to discuss the rectification of flag affairs.
To this end, Yongzheng also dragged his sick body and braved the severe cold to go to the Old Thirteenth Mansion to consult with Yin Xiang, who was lying in bed. Old Thirteen proposed that the Iron Hat King of Fengtian had always been in charge of liaison with Old Eight, fearing that they would collude and cause chaos. Yongzheng confidently said: Let him do it, you can't turn the sky, If the will have to squeeze it sooner or later.
Turn the tide of the old thirteen
Although Yongzheng confidently and slowly said that Yin Yu and the Banner Lord Wang Ye who had entered the capital could not make any big trouble, Yin Xiang proposed to let Hongshi and Hongzhi follow Yin Yu to do the matter of welcoming the Banner Lord Wang Ye into Beijing. On the one hand, they can be trained, and on the other hand, they can also act as ears and ears.
Yin Xiang was Yongzheng's most trusted brother, a veritable "Second Emperor" who was in charge of military power. He has been in the army for many years, and he is bold and open-minded, chivalrous, and can mingle with the generals in the army and form a lifelong friendship. When Kangxi died, Yin Xiang executed Cheng Wenyun, the admiral of the Fengtai camp, with a gold medal and arrow, and successfully took over the military power, not to mention that after Yongzheng succeeded to the throne, he was justifiably appointed to take charge of the military power.
Yin Yu and Hongshi Jiaozhi let the banner lord Wang Ye's men and horses jointly manage the defense, and the governors of the Fengtai camp and the Xishan Ruijian camp had repeatedly stated that they only recognized the Holy Will and the warrants of the Thirteenth Master, which showed that Yin Xiang's prestige in the army was almost on a par with that of the emperor himself.
When Yin Yu tore off the mask of hypocrisy at the court meeting and publicly challenged Yongzheng at the critical juncture, the terminally ill Yin Xiang brought the four capitals that the banner lord Wang Ye had installed in the Fengtai camp and the Xishan Ruijian camp to jointly manage the defense, and in one fell swoop reversed the inferior situation caused by Long Keduo's imminent defection at the court meeting, forcing the four flag lords to prostrate themselves and confess their guilt.
Crooked Hiroshi
Yin Yu ordered the banner lord Wang Ye to jointly manage the defense of the Fengtai camp and the Xishan Ruijian camp, and Hongzhi was framed by Hongshi's design, taking advantage of a gap in words. Afterwards, the more Hongzhi thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, so he stopped Yin Xiang on the way to the upper court and told him about his hidden worries.
Yin Xiang immediately realized the seriousness of the problem, and immediately turned around and rushed to the two large camps outside the city, arrested the people installed by the banner lord Wang Ye, and rushed to the court meeting without stopping. Finally turned things around at the crucial moment. Hongzhi perfectly shouldered the role of ear and ear, and defused the trap carefully set by Yin Yu.
