He was the most valued prince in Kangxi's later years, and he had the opportunity to become emperor, but he was robbed of the throne by Yongzheng
People have seven passions and six desires, so it is easy to be emotional on certain issues. As early as the Kangxi dynasty, the Kangxi Emperor made a big mistake in choosing a future heir to the imperial throne, and he was Kangxi's son, Yin Rong. This was Kangxi's favorite prince in his life, and before he died, he also told Yongzheng that he must treat him well.
If it is placed in the homes of ordinary people, it is certainly happy, because ordinary people pay attention to having many children and many blessings, but this situation is different in the royal family, and the number of princes in the royal family means that the struggle for power will be very strong. Yin Li immediately paid homage to the new king to show his support, and thus gained the trust and appreciation of Yongzheng, and after Yongzheng succeeded to the throne, he was made the King of Guojun and was ordered to administer the Li Clan Yuan.
The ultimate winner of the "Nine Sons and Concubines" was Yin Chan, the fourth son of Kangxi. However, Kangxi understood that the party and government were very terrible, and just as the so-called one dynasty was a courtier, Yin Chan said that the empress dowager would naturally attack his former political enemies. He is also the most dependent and important brother. In the thirteenth year of Yongzheng (1735), before Yongzheng's death, Yin Li was entrusted by Yongzheng with the heavy responsibility of taking care of his life and becoming Yongzheng's "orphan minister".
According to the records of the history of the Qing Dynasty, Yin Yu was a prince who kangxi valued in his later years, and was a prince with military merits, he once led soldiers to quell the Qinghai rebellion, and Kangxi also liked Yin Yu to become the next emperor anyway, there was no Yin Rong's fault, it was in this environment that Yin Rong did not grow as Kangxi imagined, but was crooked in the middle of the way.
Moreover, in addition to Yin Rong's achievements in learning, the martial arts riding and shooting were also superb. He often followed his father out to hunt, and shooting jackals, tigers and leopards could also be said to be commonplace. Therefore, yin rong's education when he was a child was more systematic than that of other princes. He also often went hunting with Kangxi, so this archery technique was also very powerful.
However, in the end, history chose Yongzheng to inherit the throne, which also benefited from the fact that Yongzheng got the moon first near the water tower, so many people said that Yin Yu's throne was taken away by Yongzheng. The Yongzheng Emperor and the two of them became the link between the clan nobles, and through them they were Qianlong to obtain more clan support, which was also an important role of Yin Li.
Sure enough, after the Yongzheng Emperor ascended the throne, he severely punished the emperor's eighth son Yin Yu, the main opponent in the seizure of power, as for the third son of the emperor, yin yu, the ninth son of the emperor, Yin Yu, the tenth son of the emperor, etc., although they were also aimed at Yongzheng and Yin Li was also deeply valued by Yongzheng, so Qianlong did filial piety for his uncle and took care of his uncle became a natural act of filial piety.
