The emperor, as the ruler of a country, has supreme power, it can be said that the life of all people at that time can be determined by him, so even the people around the emperor, the emperor will not necessarily trust him, because people are unpredictable, not to mention that the emperor holds a lot of power in his hands, many people will be proud of his position, so the emperor will not easily trust anyone. Generally, the founding emperor is particularly suspicious and likes to kill heroes, which is also the helplessness of human nature.
But this is also contradictory, all killed, who does the emperor rely on? As an emperor, if he wants to better sit in a stable position, he needs all kinds of forces to support him, and among so many forces, those who are senior and capable in the court are more valued.
Because the emperor needs them to consolidate his position, how to let them do things without getting out of their control has always been a matter of concern for many emperors.
From ancient times to the present, emperors will cultivate a group of loyal servants, and the Yongzheng Emperor is no exception. Compared with other emperors, Yongzheng was well versed in the imperial heart technique, so he deserved to eventually become emperor, too clever, and too good at disguise.
He secretly exhorted his advisers to speak freely to him, and when these advisers spoke to him, he not only did not accept them, but also admonished them, so as to show the high prestige of his power.
Whenever Yongzheng admonished these courtiers, he would often pose a lofty posture, as if he were a god under the heavens, incomparable to ordinary people, and this was also where he was clever, in the deep palace of the imperial palace, he could have a lofty posture, which could make his reputation better.
For example, he had a man named Dai Duo, whose position in history was not high, so few historical researchers studied his deeds. Dai Duo was a strategist when Yongzheng was still in the palace, and even when Yongzheng was still waiting for the throne, he provided him with many ideas on how to ascend to the throne, which can be said to be loyal and loyal, and has always been advising Yongzheng to ascend the throne.
Before he took the throne, the various princes made a lot of noise in order to compete for the position of the crown prince, and Dai Duo was also very worried about this, and had been advising Yongzheng, so he offered Yongzheng a fold for the throne, and secretly gave this fold to Yongzheng, of course, it was indispensable to be loyal to himself.
After that, he made several suggestions to Yongzheng: first of all, he wanted Yongzheng to do a good job in the relationship between himself and his father and brothers, and then he should make a good relationship with the ministers of the court, and then he should not participate in the competition, and he should not care about the gains and losses, and finally, he should recruit talents from the imperial court to pave the way for his future ascension to the throne.
As we all know, Yongzheng is very yearning for the throne, however, he is very flat about Dai Duo's suggestions. Later, when replying to the secret fold, Yongzheng replied that although what you said was a golden word, it was meaningless to me. Because for me, being an emperor is not a beautiful errand, I can't hide from it, so how can I compete for the throne? Yongzheng's hypocrisy is evident.
As soon as people in the world hear this, they feel that they are a person of high moral character and no ambition, so that there are naturally more people who support him, and it is not easy to be jealous of others.
Four years later, as Kangxi grew older and weaker, and many sons entered a white-hot process, at this time, Dai Duo once again told Yongzheng that if Yongzheng wanted to compete for the throne, the first task was to find a place to train his own soldiers, and Dai Duo was also willing to take on this burden and go to Taiwan to train his own pro-soldiers for Yongzheng. However, after Yongzheng read it, instead of adopting it, he reprimanded Dai Duo, believing that Dai Duo was uneasy and kind and wanted to kill him, and he showed a look of great righteousness and awe.
In fact, Yongzheng arranged for Nian Qianyao to secretly train troops for himself in the northwest region early on, and what was excessive was that he secretly carried out it without Dai Duo, that is to say, Dai Ze was useless, but had ...
During the 57 years of Yongzheng, the news of li chu was sent out in the palace, and Dai Duo felt that this time was very critical, so he began to try his best to investigate the situation, and secretly found the red people in the palace, hoping that he could speak well for his master in front of the emperor, so that after Yongzheng ascended the throne, he would certainly not treat him badly, and promised Li Guangdi that they would be rich and noble in the future.
Subsequently, Dai Duo told Yongzheng of his own behavior, and took this opportunity, he also analyzed to Yongzheng the advantages of several princes and the possibility of inheriting the throne, and Dai Duo's intention naturally wanted Yongzheng to inherit the throne, but he did not expect that he was wrong, and Yongzheng criticized Dai Duo fiercely, saying how can you be so vicious? Don't think about my reputation, let me do such a great rebellious thing? Dai Ze was dumbfounded.
Yongzheng's imperial technique can be seen, and the depth of his people's city government is also unimaginable.
This kind of means can be called a brilliant plan, not only paving the way for him to successfully ascend the throne in the future, but also finding a scapegoat early, and also fulfilling the "filial piety", winning the praise of everyone, laying a good foundation for his smooth ascension to the throne, and he also has a trick - to keep his son with the emperor.
This Dai Duo did not think of anything, he had no idea that he had been thinking of the master, and finally directly made himself a scapegoat. After Yongzheng successfully succeeded to the throne, Dai Ze did not get any benefits, first yongzheng sent him to Nian Qianyao's subordinates, and then yongzheng accused him of being a corrupt official, and also listed a lot of evidence of guilt, behaved beyond the duty of a courtier, and even fabricated charges to ruin his reputation, and finally put Dai Duo to death.
