Old Fourteen Yin Yu and Old Eight Yin Yu were indeed lucky.
After Yongzheng ascended the throne, Lao Ba Yinyu was not only imprisoned, but also renamed "Akina", scolded as a dog, and imprisoned for several months after a life.
Yin Yu was also imprisoned, but he lived until the Qianlong period, when Qianlong ordered him to be pardoned and released.
Yin Yu was a very powerful contender in the battle for the concubine, and if it were not for his stupidity, I am afraid that Yongzheng would not have been able to become the emperor.
The deposed prince Yin Rong was even more stupid, if Yin Rong could pretend to be filial and brotherly, and wait for Kangxi to die with peace of mind, it would not be Yongzheng's turn either.
After Yin Rong was deposed, Old Eight Yin Yu was actually pit by Old Yin Rong, and Yin Yu ran to Kangxi and said two sentences, one was "Fortune Teller said that Old Eight has the appearance of an emperor" and the other was "If you want to kill Yin Rong, I will help you", because of these two sentences, Yin Yu was beaten by Kangxi.
If this matter is not Yin Yu's instructions behind his back, nor is it Yin Yu's stupid words, then Yin Yu has the intention to pit Yin Yu.
This was even more so in the later "Haidongqing Incident", yin Yu picked two haidongqing to give to Kangxi, but he did not send it himself, but let someone else send it for him.
When these two Haidongqing were delivered to Kangxi's hand, they were already breathing, what would be Kangxi's reaction after receiving them? Good you old eight, want to curse the early death is not?!
However, since Hai Dongqing had already swallowed his breath, why did he still send it to Kangxi's hands instead of giving up? Were the people sent by Yin Yu really stupid, or did they do it on purpose?
From this point of view, behind the "Haidongqing Incident" is likely to be Yongzheng's yin move, the "Haidongqing Incident" occurred in the fifty-third year of Kangxi, and Yin Rong was deposed again in the fifty-first year of Kangxi, which means that the most threatening person to Yongzheng at that time was Lao Bayin.
As long as the old eighth is eliminated, the chances of Yongzheng winning the marriage will become greater.
Sure enough, after the "Hai Dongqing Incident" occurred, Kangxi was so angry that he directly said that he and Yin Yu had severed the father-son relationship, which meant that Yin Yu no longer had the possibility of taking a wife.
After Yin Yu lost his qualification to take the wife because of the "Hai Dongqing Incident", the so-called "Eight Masters Party" turned to support the old fourteen Yin Yu to participate in the conquest.
The same is the same as Yongzheng' conquest, why did the old eight Yin Yu end up with an unknown death, but the old fourteen Yin Yu survived unharmed to the day of pardon and release?
Although the "Eight Masters Party" turned to support the old fourteen to take the wife, in fact, the opportunity of the old fourteen is not great, why do you say so? Because Kangxi sent him to the northwest to lead troops to fight, some people may say that they have military power in their hands, is not the threat to Yongzheng even greater? Not so, Fu Su also supported the army on the Great Wall, and the Mengtian brothers assisted, but in the end he committed suicide.
Old Fourteen went to the northwest, not in the capital, once Kangxi had an accident, he had no chance to rush back to the capital to seize the throne, and from this incident, it was also clear that Kangxi should have no intention of passing the throne to Old Fourteen.
In the last years of the Kangxi Dynasty, the elder Fourteen Yin yu had been in the army, far from the political power center of the Qing Dynasty, and the transmission of information was extremely inconvenient, so it was actually difficult for him to manage his own power.
Even if the "Eight Masters Party" headed by Old Eight Yin Yu turned to support Old Fourteen, in the end it was not the concubine force of Old Fourteen, what does this mean? This means that the political threat of the old fourteenth to Yongzheng is actually far inferior to that of Yin Yu, and the only thing that makes the old fourteenth Yinyu jealous is the military power.
Therefore, as soon as Kangxi died, Yongzheng immediately recalled Yin Yu and deprived Yin Yu of the military power in his hands, and once the military power was gone, Yin Yu was almost no longer a threat to Yong Zheng, which was also the reason why Yin Yu was able to escape the disaster.
Yin Yu was also the first to be imprisoned by Yongzheng, who was controlled by Yongzheng after returning to Beijing from the northwest, and then imprisoned him in disguise under the banner of letting him guard the imperial tomb.
The reason why Yongzheng was anxious to imprison Yin Yu was to serve the purpose of knocking on the mountain and shocking the tiger, to deter the brothers who had once taken a wife with him.
At that time, the "Eight Masters Party" headed by Yin Yu was not small in the DPRK, yongzheng had just taken the throne, and he had not yet taken the throne, so it was impossible to directly attack Yin Yu, so he could only take Yin Yu's knife first.
Old Eight Yin Yu and Old Nine Yin Yu were imprisoned in the fourth year of Yongzheng and died shortly after being imprisoned, but the old Fourteen Yin Yu who was first imprisoned was unharmed.
The reason why Yongzheng was extra tolerant of old Fourteen Yinyu was because Yinyu and Yongzheng were brothers of a mother, a mother who came out of the womb!
Although Yongzheng was sent to be raised by the noble concubine Tong Jia after he was born, and did not have much affection for his birth mother Wu Ya and his brother Yin Yu, in the end, Yin Yu was also his own brother, and the threat to him was far less than That of Yin Yu, so he naturally let Yin Yu go.
When Yongzheng ascended the throne, his birth mother Wu Yashi was still very unhappy! Because she prefers her youngest son, Yin Yu, to inherit the throne.
After Yin Yu was imprisoned, Wu Yashi also died of depression.
Yin Yu spent the entire Yongzheng period in captivity, and it was not until Qianlong ascended the throne that he was freed.
