It is said that the most ruthless is the imperial home, and this is true, especially when it comes to the struggle for the throne. At that time, the so-called father-son brotherhood was fragile. At the beginning, Li Shimin killed his brother in order to compete for the throne without thinking about his brother's feelings. Of course, there are many similar things. Soon after the Yongzheng Emperor ascended the throne, his eighth brother was executed by him, and when his sister-in-law asked him nine words, why couldn't he say a word?
We also know that when Yongzheng was able to become the heir, it was also through several twists and turns. Originally, the crown prince was chosen, but later Kangxi abolished the crown prince twice in a row, so he gave the princes a chance. And Yongzheng is quite intelligent and very means. He was able to handle his relationships with his brothers. Let his brothers and fathers not be hostile to themselves, and because of this, the princes have their own gains and losses in competition with each other, and only he can be alone.
Perhaps because of this, he was able to win later. At that time, every minister had his own support for the prince, and before Kangxi died, the only one who could match Yongzheng was the power represented by the Eighth Master. However, at that time, the fourteen brothers supported by the eighth master were not in the capital, so they gave Yongzheng a chance. If the fourteenth brother was in the capital at that time, perhaps Yongzheng's becoming the heir was not so smooth. Therefore, it can be said that the eighth master at that time brought a lot of trouble to Yongzheng.
We all know that the first thing the new emperor will do after he succeeds to the throne is to consolidate his throne. For example, Emperor Jianwen, the first thing he did after he ascended the throne was to cut the domain, but due to the unstable foundation, he was finally defeated by his uncle Zhu Di. In the end, he disappeared in a fire. Soon after Yongzheng ascended the throne, he made The Eighth Master a prince, but many ministers went to compliment the Eighth Master, saying that the Eighth Master would be reused.
However, at that time, the eighth master's wife, that is, Guo Luoluoshi, was blunt, and said that he did not know when his head would move. It was precisely because of this that Yongzheng was dissatisfied, and later he let the eighth master go to Guo Luoluoshi. Although the relationship between the eighth master and his wife was very good, the emperor could not but listen to his words. So he divorced his wife. In fact, at that time, the words of the eighth master's wife were not wrong, and what happened later verified this sentence.
At the beginning, Yongzheng really reused the Eight Masters, but after that, it seemed that the Eight Masters could not do anything to satisfy Yongzheng. First, he demoted the eighth master to a common man and locked him up, and then he angrily gave the name of the eighth master to Akina. As for what this Archina means, many people say that it means dog. Even if it is not the meaning, it is insulting. Soon after, The Eighth Master died of illness. Although the Eighth Master was not killed by Yongzheng, it was indeed considered to have died at the hands of Yongzheng.
At that time, when Yongzheng angrily changed the name of the eighth master, many people did not dare to say anything even if they knew that the name had an insulting meaning. After all, no one dared to anger the Yongzheng Emperor. And The wife of the eighth master was also a rather fierce woman, she was hot and willful, and many people at that time did not dare to provoke her. However, she was also quite resourceful, and when the Eighth Master was fighting for the heir to the throne, she did not contribute less.
At that time, Yongzheng not only locked up the eighth master, but also locked up her son. She knew that her husband was powerless himself, but his son was still young. So she knelt down and begged Yongzheng to let yongzheng release her son Hongwang. However, this Yongzheng was not moved, and finally let people take her away. Before being taken away, she asked nine words, "You said he was a dog, what are you?" "It is also true that after all, the old eight is his brother, if the brother is a dog, then he is not the same." Yongzheng could not say a word, and could only wave his hand to let people take her away.
To say that the wife of the eighth master is really bold enough, after the death of the eighth master, in order to save her son, she knew that that sentence would anger Yongzheng, but she still asked Yongzheng, and the result was that Yongzhengqi could not speak. Perhaps because of this, her subsequent fate was tragic. Although Yongzheng is the emperor who is the most blacked, it is undeniable that he is still a good emperor.
