If we had concluded at the outset that the Kangxi Emperor was going to pass on the throne to Yin Channa, it would indeed be premature, but who in the events of the Yellow River sending floods, raising funds for disaster relief, recovering arrears, and unjustly imprisoning the Ministry of Punishment, who was in line with the Kangxi Emperor's wishes? Among these several things, who is high and who is low, who is high and who is low, the Kangxi Emperor is well aware, although the recovery of the arrears of the national treasury is not proper, except for Nian Tangyao, almost all the staff are criticized, but the Kangxi Emperor also knows in his heart that who it is, it is inevitable that it will end hastily.
The appearance of the "Hundred Officials' Narrative" seems to have given the restored Prince Yinrong hope, but the old fourth Yinchen knew that the "Hundred Officials' Narrative" was actually a "poison", and if The Prince Yinrong got the "Hundred Officials' Narrative", then everyone in the imperial court would be in danger and in turmoil. And the Eight Ye Party is also looking for the "Hundred Officials' Deeds", the existence of such a "poison", which is infinitely harmful to the country and the people.
Yin Chan found the "Hundred Officials' Deeds" through Nian Qianyao, and first got this "poison", which can be said to have mastered the initiative of the event. As for the process of Yin Chan obtaining the Hundred Officials' Description, we will not repeat it here, let's first look at where the utility of the Hundred Officials' Narrative is.
1. The true utility of the Hundred Officials' Commentary.
Many people thought that crown prince Yin Rong wanted to get the "Hundred Officials' Behavior" only to restrain the courtiers and let those officials with "small braids" or "handles" use them for themselves. Because the deposed prince had just been deposed, Yin Rong was restored again. These circumstances indicate that in the Qing Dynasty, even the crown prince created by the emperor was not stable, and it was possible that he would be deposed at any time. Yin Rong was attacked by this disaster, and he must have wanted to further consolidate his position as crown prince, but with a previous crime, he had to start a crooked idea, planning to use Ren Bo'an's "Hundred Officials' Narrative" to stabilize his position as crown prince. For crown prince Yin Rong, he was in the situation of "the dog jumping the wall" at this time, and it was reasonable for him to do so.
What about Lao Ba Yinyu, what was he going to do with the Hundred Officials' Commentary? The same plan as Yin Rong? Old Eight Yin Yu is a master of buying people's hearts, using the "Hundred Officials' Deeds" to pinch people "small braids" is estimated not his style of life, want to start the criminal department unjust prison case, although the old Eight Yin Yu tempted Xiao Guoxing, but once the prince was involved, he immediately reported to the Kangxi Emperor overnight, although there was a suspicion of poking the prince's back spine, he was rated by the Kangxi Emperor as "his heart can be cursed", but he did not leak, it was very beautiful, and Kangxi also had to make him the King of Lian County.
Compared with Xiao Guoxing's confession, it can be expected that the influence of Ren Bo'an's "Hundred Officials' Narrative" is far greater than that of Xiao Guoxing's case. At the same time, when it comes to the crown prince, the Kangxi Emperor can take care of Xiao Guoxing, but the "Hundred Officials' Narrative" involves hundred officials, who can block the mouth of Youyou? Therefore, Old Eight Yin Yu would not be as stupid as Yin Rong, and he would keep the "Hundred Officials' Deeds" for his own use, so as to blackmail the hundred officials and use them for his own use. Later, Lao Ba Yin Yu once tore off zhang Tinglu's confession of Hongshi's form in front of Hongshi's face to win over Hongshi, and judging from this move, Old Eight Yinyu would not be a virtue with Yin.
Therefore, lao Ba Yinyu wanted to get the "Hundred Officials' Narrative", and there were two ways to choose, one was to immediately present the "Hundred Officials' Narrative" to the Kangxi Emperor like the unjust prison case of the Ministry of Punishment, and win the first place in front of the Kangxi Emperor, first, to win the good impression of the Kangxi Emperor, and second, to hand over this "hot potato" to the Kangxi Emperor, and the Kangxi Emperor did not care what he did. According to Kangxi's tacit action of Yin Chan in burning the Hundred Officials' Narrative, it can be speculated that not opening the Hundred Officials' Narrative is a major problem.
Pandora's box
If the world is not opened, Kangxi will definitely choose not to open it, and also destroy the "Hundred Officials' Narrative". In this way, Yin Yu is good, but it is not good for buying people's hearts. Why? Because those imperial court officials with "small braids" or "handles" would hate Yin Yu because Yin Yu betrayed the Hundred Officials' Narrative, and would also be grateful to the Kangxi Emperor for destroying the Hundred Officials' Narrative. Even though Kangxi rewarded Yin Yu personally, it was beneficial to Yin Yu personally, but he could not buy people's hearts, which was contrary to his usual style. Therefore, Yin Yu is likely to take the same path as Yin Chan and destroy the Hundred Officials' Deeds by himself.
This is actually the same idea as Yin Chan. Even if Lao Ba Yin Yu first got the Hundred Officials' Narrative, he would not open it, and he would definitely look for an opportunity to destroy it, because only by destroying it would maximize their personal interests.
2. Why destroy the Hundred Officials' Commentary in order to maximize the benefits?
As mentioned earlier, only by destroying the Hundred Officials' Narrative can we maximize the benefits. Because officials who have been given "pigtails" or "handles" will be grateful for their destruction, which is the first benefit. The second point of interest, to win the good impression of the Kangxi Emperor, added bricks and tiles to the conquest of the concubine. With these two benefits, the rest goes without saying.
Therefore, the most important problem here is not whether to open or not to open, the key lies in who gets the "Hundred Officials' Narrative" first, who has the initiative to use the "Hundred Officials' Narrative" to obtain the greatest benefits. The prince, the fourth elder and the eighth are all hollowing out their minds to take the "Hundred Officials' Narrative" first, and their purpose is not to focus on the content of the "Hundred Officials' Narrative", but to obtain the right of priority, which is the most important factor, which one gets first, which can obtain the maximum benefits mentioned above by abolishing the "Hundred Officials's Narrative", of course, except for the prince Yinrong.
3. Why did Yin Chan dare to take matters into his own hands and destroy the Hundred Officials' Narrative?
For such a big thing, under normal circumstances, the princes would definitely have to report to the Kangxi Emperor before they dared to deal with it, but why did Yin Chan dare to take matters into his own hands and destroy the Hundred Officials' Narrative? I think there are a few reasons for this.
First, Yin Chan's historical starting point for doing things was deeply trusted by Kangxi.
Judging from the fact that the Yellow River was flooding, Yin Chan was cleaning up the national treasury, jiangnan was raising funds for disaster relief, and so on, the old fourth Yin Chan basically did everything for the country and the people, which was exactly the spirit that the Kangxi Emperor needed, pragmatic and willing to do not talk about empty talk, and also took responsibility. Since we are all doing things from the fundamentals of serving the country and the people, not everything needs to be reported, which is the same as many things in our reality, and sometimes waiting for instructions to report is often wrong. Take the destruction of the "Hundred Officials Xingshu", if Yin Chan asked for instructions to report, then the Kangxi Emperor may reward Yin Chan, but Kangxi will eventually destroy the "Hundred Officials Xingshu", but in the case of the Nine Kings, Yin Chan actually lost the initiative to dispose of the "Hundred Officials Xingshu", and the things that could have been of the greatest benefit were finally taken away by the Kangxi Emperor, so what is the point of spending so much effort to rob the "Hundred Officials Xingshu"?
Second, Yin Chan invited enough witnesses.
Of course, Yin Chan absolutely did not dare to destroy the Hundred Officials' Narrative privately, which would be even less meaningful, so he invited the crown prince, Ma Qi, and Lao Ba, The Nine Elders, to come and testify, which showed that he was selfless, under such circumstances, how could the Kangxi Emperor punish him?
Third, the source of the "Hundred Officials' Narrative" is also related to the Kangxi Emperor.
Ren Bo'an was once the lianghuai salt road, the oil and water department, and Yin Chan Jiangnan's fundraising was mainly from him, which must have been known to the Kangxi Emperor. What was even more irritating was that Ren Bo'an's younger brother Ren Ji'an and Liu Ba'nü acted in Jiangxia Town with a plaque from Kangxi's year, "Etiquette Dehua", which really made the Kangxi Emperor faceless. Although the Kangxi Emperor did not say anything, of course, he was embarrassed to say it, but his heart must have been itching with hatred, and because of the unjust imprisonment case of the Punishment Department, Yin Chan and Yin Xiang had reported this matter to the Kangxi Emperor, and Kangxi personally went to the court to rescue Zhang Wuge.
If it were not for the "protective umbrella" of Ren Bo'an,
How dare Ren Ji'an and Liu Ba'nü use "etiquette and morality" to act arbitrarily? At this time, Ren Bo'an also made a "Hundred Officials' Behavior", and the Kangxi Emperor had no reason not to be angry. Yin Chan burned it, which was also an explanation to the Kangxi Emperor.
Then, why didn't the Kangxi Emperor pursue Yin Chan for burning the Hundred Officials' Narrative?
In the last years of the Kangxi Dynasty, when the treasury was empty and the officials were corrupt, Kangxi found that the crown prince was not morally virtuous and did not care about the major affairs of the state, and repeatedly asked the prince not to come to the stage on different occasions, and said, "Is this the future emperor of my Great Qing Dynasty?" This shows that the Kangxi Emperor already had a dissatisfaction with the crown prince Yin Rong, and he needed a prince who could shoulder the burden for him, this person was obviously the fourth son of the emperor Yin Chan, who had outstanding performance in jiangnan fundraising, however, in the pursuit of the arrears of the national treasury, Kangxi wanted Yin Chan to be a "lone minister", and finally forced Wei Dongting to die, the old ten Yin? When the street sold property, Yin Chan's courtiers were not lightly offended. The Kangxi Emperor knew that collecting debts was a dead-knot job, and it was no wonder that Yin Chan was not much, although Yin Chan may have only been in the "inspection period" at that time, but if he offended too many people and did not have the support of the courtiers, even if Kangxi wanted to push him to the throne, it would be very difficult to be afraid. Since Yin Chan used the Hundred Officials' Narrative, he sold his personal feelings to him, which was a little compensation for being an "orphan minister".
