In the later years of Kangxi, because the Kangxi Emperor was too dissatisfied with the crown prince Yinrong, and the crown prince's biggest patron, Suo Ertu, was also finally executed by the Kangxi Emperor's order for rebellion, and because of this, the famous historical event of the Kangxi Emperor in his later years, "Nine Sons And Concubines", finally broke out, and everyone wanted to be one step closer to the throne.
The four brothers, the eight brothers, the fourteen brothers, the original brothers who loved each other eventually evolved into enemies of life and death, so the ancients also said: "In the next life, there will be no imperial family." Because in the royal family for the sake of the throne can not even say anything about family affection, in the end there is only deception and struggle for power and profit.
In the end, in this great chaotic struggle, the fourth brother Yinchen won the victory and went to the supreme throne, and the ascension of the fourth brother to the throne was a good thing for the Qing Dynasty at that time, because the mess in Kangxi's later years was too chaotic, and he was in urgent need of an iron-fisted king like Yongzheng, but it was not a good news for his brothers. Because Yongzheng was a very dark man and had a deep heart, it could be said that he would repay the favor, and the brothers who had fought for the throne with him at that time did not have a good end except for the huang thirteenth son Yunxiang, who had always supported him.
For the other brothers Yongzheng is a net, the fifth prince and the ninth prince belong to the same mother's brother, but because this younger brother is too honest, so Yongzheng did not take him what?
However, among all the sons of Kangxi at that time, there was one prince who was an exception, that is, the twelfth prince Yintao, although compared to the old eight, the old nine, the old fourteenth and other people, Yintao's ending was not bad, but compared to the old fifth, the old seventeenth and other people, Yintao's situation was very bad, in the Yongzheng Dynasty Yintao is more tragic, it can be said that he has been "bullied" by his brother, let's take a look first:
The twelve princes of the "unlucky urge", the Yongzheng Emperor's air bag
In fact, we can see that although Yongzheng treats his brothers cruelly, he targets those who robbed him of the throne and posed a threat to him, on the contrary, as long as these two things are not related, at least you can live a peaceful and stable life, but the old twelve YinTao is an exception, and his life in Yongzheng Dynasty is not good:
In the "Eight Banner Army" of the Qing Dynasty, in fact, there has always been a distinction between the "Upper Three Banners" and the "Lower Five Banners", in the Forbidden City at that time, the Upper Three Banners implemented the Langwei system, because it was close to the key parts of the Emperor in the Forbidden City, so the flag owners of these three banners were not rich or noble, that is to say, they were equivalent to the emperor's pro-army.
Among all the sons of Kangxi, Yin Tao's birth was not noble, and his mother was only an ordinary flag person, but yin Tao was special in that he was raised by Su Ma Lagu from childhood, and due to the special relationship between Emperor Xiaozhuang and Su Ma Lagu, he had special respect for Su Ma Lagu during the Kangxi period.
Yin Tao was soon given to Su Ma Lagu to raise, so there was a special affection between Yin Tao and Su Ma Lama and Yin Tao, and after the death of Su Ma Lagu at that time, Yin Tao insisted on guarding the spirit of Su Ma Lagu Ma Dai as a prince.
And it was this act that made Kangxi have a different view of this son, believing that this son was pure and filial, and such a son might be able to rest assured, so he handed him the white flag.
However, after Yongzheng succeeded to the throne, in addition to quickly stabilizing the situation, he was also extra "kind" to Yin Tao, and immediately took back the power of Yin Tao's white flag owner, which was equivalent to taking Yin Tao to the end at once.
In addition to this matter, in the Yongzheng Dynasty, Yongzheng always caught the strength to bully Yin Tao, such as Yongzheng ii years, his "hardcore hand" Sixteenth Prince Yin Lu impeached Yin Tao "can not be respectful in governing affairs, please take the knighthood", which means that you are not serious enough, revoke the title.
At that time, although many princes held positions in the royal office, many of them were virtual positions, so this one completely looked like picking bones in the egg, and because they were not serious enough, they would be stripped of their titles, which was inevitably too heavy.
However, it was very unfortunate that the Yongzheng Emperor really approved the suggestion of the old sixteen and cut the title of king of Yintao County, and after half a year, it was still this old sixteen, who once again impeached Yin Tao, or impeached Yin Tao on this charge, and finally Yong Zheng agreed to the old sixteen's performance and demoted Yin Tao to the title of protector.
From this, we can see how miserable this Yin Tao's situation was at that time, originally it was the identity of the prince, no matter how bad it was, it was impossible to say that there was only one duke, but because he became Yongzheng's "air bag", this title was directly swept to the end, from the county king to the duke.
Although Yin Tao's situation was much better than that of The Old Eight, compared to the Old Thirteenth, Old Sixteenth, and Seventeenth Elders who were in the sky at that time, this situation was really not ordinary miserable.
Can we now question? Yin Tao himself had never participated in the conquest, so why did Yongzheng bully him vigorously?
The Buddhist personality is targeted by Yongzheng, and who can understand the pain of honest people?
In history, Yin Tao himself did not participate in the conquest of concubines, one is related to his own personality, because his mother and he belong to the kind of person who is not ostentatious, although his mother is a flag person, but because of the general origin of the family, it is not valued in the family, so among the princes and concubines of Kangxi, Ding Concubine belongs to the kind of person who has no quarrel with the world, and Yin Tao also belongs to the calm and introverted.
And Yin Tao was fostered by Su Ma Lagu from childhood, Su Ma Lagu this person believes in Buddhism very much, and Yin Tao also developed a Buddhist personality because he often followed Su Ma Lagu, and did not fight for anything, so that when Kangxi wanted to give him a knighthood, he did not know what to give, so that at the time of Kangxi, there was only one title of Gushan Beizi.
However, it was precisely because of his feelings for Su Ma Lagu that Kangxi also had a different view of him, so he let go of the Zhengbai Banner to him, and it can be said that Yongzheng wanted to attack him for this reason.
Although Yin Tao himself did not argue or grab, it seemed that there was no threat, but he was holding one of the "Three Banners of Shang" at that time, zhengbai banner, in this regard, Yongzheng would definitely take back power, because the identity of the owner of the "Shangsan Banner" banner was too important, Yin Tao himself was not his confidant, and Yongzheng would not tolerate such a situation.
And the other point may be precisely because Yin Tao is too honest, right? Because he is too honest, he is indisputable in the DPRK, and there is no foundation, and it is really difficult for people like this to stand firm in the political arena, but it is also thanks to Yin Tao, whose personality is also too Buddhist, so under such a blow, he can continue to serve like a person who has nothing to do, otherwise he will die of depression if he changes others.
For example, Yongzheng did not do anything to his third brother, in fact, the third brother did not do anything in the ninth son's conquest, the only thing he did was to help the prince say a few words, that is, this matter let Yongzheng remember, and finally imprisoned him after ascending the throne, and the third brother also died of depression; the same was true of Qianlong's sixth brother Hongzhan, because he felt that the Qianlong Emperor was too harsh on him, so he died of depression at the age of 33.
On the contrary, we can see that Yin Tao did not take these things to heart because of Yongzheng's continuous blows, and after his title was stripped, he should also do what he should do, just take a classic line in Jin Yong's novel: "He is strong and strong, the breeze blows the hills, he crosses him, and the bright moon shines on the river." ”
At that time, no matter what punishment Yongzheng gave him, we can see that Yin Tao did not say anything, even if the Viscount Bei was stripped of his title and only became a duke, Yin Tao was still the same Buddhist lineage as ever, and for this reason, Yin Tao was the longest living of all the sons of Kangxi, living until Qianlong twenty years old, and did not die until about the age of 79, and his mother was also the longest-lived of all the concubines of Qianlong, living to the age of 97.
Yin Tao himself did not participate in the nine sons of the concubine, and did not pose a threat to YongZheng himself, but Yong Zheng always bullied Yin Tao on the charge of "not respecting things", and his title was also taken away again and again, in the current words: "Look at me honestly, bully me? ”
However, we have to admit that it is yin tao's Buddhist life and honest character that saved his life, it can be said that the brothers targeted by Yongzheng are not good, such as the eighth, the ninth, the boss and other people are ultimately miserable, and Yin Tao was so targeted by Yongzheng but can miraculously survive, which shows that it also has unique features.
end
Or perhaps Yongzheng could not bear to bully his honest brother in the later period, or perhaps he felt that Yintao really posed no threat to him, (because in the Yongzheng Dynasty and the Qianlong Dynasty, Yintao did some trivial things to preside over marriage and funeral, and rarely paid attention to politics), in the late Yongzheng period, the Yongzheng Emperor restored Yintao's title.
During the Qianlong Dynasty, Qianlong was particularly kind to this emperor, and thus was able to enjoy his old age in peace, and finally in 1763 AD, Yin Tao died, and Qianlong was buried with the courtesy of a prince.
It can be said that this is the cleverness of Yin Tao, with the encounter and peace do not scramble, and Qianlong's fifth brother Hongzhi's absurd self-preservation, Yin Tao's Buddhist practice is also another way of self-preservation, but it is also thanks to Yin Tao, otherwise it may be replaced by an "honest person" who is bullied by Yongzheng, and may be depressed.
And Yin Tao was also able to get along without incident because of his Buddhist personality, and was bullied by the Yongzheng Emperor, and eventually rose in the Qianlong Dynasty, and he also became the longest-lived son of Kangxi.
