In ancient Chinese history, there were frequent incidents in which princes fought for the throne and fell in love with each other. During the Qing Dynasty, the fiercest competition for the throne was the nine sons of the Kangxi Dynasty. Due to the deliberate connivance of the Kangxi Emperor, the Princelings, the Four Masters, and the Eight Masters fought openly and secretly, and you fought with each other, causing a miasma of smoke in the court. Later, the fourth prince Yongzheng won, and after ascending the throne, he used thunderous means to suppress his brothers bloodily. The princelings and the Eight Masters were either exiled or purged and beheaded, which really fulfilled the saying, "Become a king and lose a Kou." Among Yongzheng's brothers, there was a prince who did not participate in the nine sons of a woman, and finally escaped Yongzheng's purge and lived to the age of 78.
Who is this person? He is Yongzheng's twelfth brother, Ai Xinjue Luo Yunqi. Yun Qi, whose original name was Yin Qi, was Yongzheng's half-brother, and because he ranked twelfth among his brothers, he was known as the Twelfth Master. The Kangxi Emperor had many sons, 24 sons in addition to his sons who died prematurely. At that time, the reason why it was "nine sons and sisters" was because the princes after the fourteenth brother were still young and could not participate in the competition. But the Twelve Brothers were already qualified to compete for the crown prince, so why didn't they participate? The matter was related to a woman.
This woman was suma lama, the most influential palace maid in the early Qing Dynasty. The birth mother of the Twelve Elder Brothers yinqi was the concubine Wan Liu Ha, because the Wan Liu Ha clan was born as a palace girl and was not qualified to raise the crown prince, so Kangxi handed the yin qi to the old man in the palace, Su Ma Lagu. Although Su Ma Lagu was also a palace maid, she experienced the five dynasties of Mandate of Heaven, Tiancong, Chongde, Shunzhi, and Kangxi, and was the dowry maid of Empress Xiaozhuang, so she was respected in the Qing Palace. At that time, Empress Xiaozhuang had just died of illness, and kangxi, in order to prevent her from being overly sad, asked her to raise her son Yin Qi for him.
After all, Su Ma Lama is a person who has experienced many dynasties, not only has a lot of knowledge, but also sees a lot of intrigue. Therefore, when raising the twelve brothers, in addition to teaching him some knowledge in books, he also taught him two words, "indisputable.". As long as the Twelve Brothers can resist the temptation, do not participate in the competition inside and outside the court, and stay out of the matter, then she will ensure that the Twelve Brothers can live in peace and stability and enjoy a lifetime of happiness. Compared with the Princelings, the Four Masters, and the Eight Masters, the Twelve Brothers really had no competitive capital, nor did they have powerful foreign relatives to help him, so Yin Qi listened to Su Ma Lama's words and did not participate in the struggle for the throne. Later, after Yongzheng ascended to the throne, he did treat him with a peaceful attitude, and he also lived until the twenty-eighth year of Qianlong before he died at the age of 78.
