Over the years, as everyone's understanding of history has increased, they have also more recognized yongzheng's merits. In the past, he was indeed too blackened, plus his father and son were emperors who reigned for more than 60 years, and he only had a short period of 13 years, so he was forgotten by posterity for so many years. While affirming his achievements, people are even more curious about his emotional life, especially the relationship with his birth mother Uyashi.
In fact, when his mother first entered the palace, she was just an ordinary palace girl, and later after being favored by Kangxi, she gave birth to Yin Chan, which was already 17 years since Kangxi was emperor. Because of her merits in giving birth to the emperor's heirs, she was made a concubine the following year. It is reasonable to say that this should be a mother and a son, and she should be kind to her own son, but according to folklore, she prefers another son, the fourteenth brother.
What's more, there are rumors that she is not at all happy about her son becoming emperor, and she blows her nose and eyes at her son in public, completely ignoring the dignity and image of the emperor. So why did she do that? In fact, according to Yongzheng in the Records of the Qing Dynasty, he was very grateful for his mother's nurturing grace, so why did the mother and son still have a bad relationship?
In fact, the mother he is referring to here is not his birth mother Wu Yashi, but the Tong Jia clan who raised him, that is, Empress Xiaoyiren. The reason for this situation is that the identity of the Wuya clan was too humble at that time, so Yin Chan grew up under the care of the Tong Jia clan. Therefore, what he said was actually referring to Tong Jiashi. It is not difficult to understand why his relationship with his birth mother is not good.
On the contrary, later the status of the Uya clan was improved, and the fourteen brothers born to her grew up around her, and they must have had much deeper feelings for the fourteen brothers. Although these are all facts, Wu Yashi's lack of interest in Yin Chan is still unexpected by everyone. When everyone around her congratulated her on her son's desire to become emperor, she was ashamed to say that this was not the result she wanted at all.
At Yongzheng's enthronement ceremony, she did a lot of tricks there, which made Yongzheng very embarrassed and could not get off the table. In fact, there is a reason behind this. On the one hand, Yongzheng's methods are indeed too tough, so that Wu Yashi, as the birth mother, has not received his attention at all, so it is certain that yongzheng has an opinion. The more important reason is because of the relationship between the fourteen brothers.
Because Yongzheng's road to the throne was quite bumpy, out of the need to consolidate imperial power, he cleaned up his brothers quite badly, even the fourteen brothers of a milk compatriot did not let go. You must know that this is the bottom line and weakness of the Wuya clan, but she can't do anything about it, so she died in fear only half a year after Yongzheng became emperor.
