Yongzheng ascended the throne and did not follow the eight kings to force the palace, but he was safe and sound, and the hero was a concubine and a brother
Yong was the son of Kangxi, the fourth son of Kangxi, before he ascended the throne, everyone used to call him the fourth elder, but after becoming emperor, no one dared to call him that. After experiencing the nine sons and wives, Yongzheng can also be regarded as an emperor like walking on thin ice, no one expected that Yongzheng could become the final winner, and Yongzheng himself was confused. But that didn't hide the joy of his victory.
The joy was temporary, or there was a restless breath hidden behind the joy, which made Yongzheng feel a wave of fear, and his throne was not so stable.
Soon after Yongzheng ascended the throne, there were various rumors in the folk and in the palace, these rumors only wanted Yongzheng, and the things mentioned were also about Yongzheng's throne not being so bright and just, and even appeared to change the fourteenth to four, which should have been the fourteenth brother's throne.
For an emperor who had just ascended the throne, these non-empty rumors made Yongzheng feel very unhappy and uncomfortable. When the new emperor ascended to the throne, he was overjoyed, full of ambition to do big things, and when he reached himself, how did he become a street rat that everyone shouted and beat?
Coupled with the fact that there are too many of his own brothers, one by one, he is eager to die early, so as to give up the throne, all of which makes Yongzheng feel like a needle.
According to this situation, is Yongzheng's throne really not so reliable, even dangerous? So why take down the fourth elder at this time when he has just ascended the throne and is still unstable? The old eight is powerful, the little fourteen is also powerful, ah, why did Yongzheng not have an accident?
There's a real reason for that, and it's very interesting.
First of all, the fourteen who could best lead the troops to fight were not in the city of Beijing, and at the beginning they were brought to the frontier by Kangxi to fight. Brother Fourteen certainly did not know that Kangxi would die before leaving, and if he could know in advance, it was estimated that he would not have gone. In the frontier, even the great ability of the heavens has no place to use, it is the so-called mountain high emperor far away. At that time, the news was quite undeveloped, even if he knew that Kangxi had died, it was too late to fight for the throne in the palace.
The advantage of the old Fourth Yongzheng is that in front of the emperor, no matter what he does, he can immediately deal with it, or even change something. Just as people have made it up, the decree of the succession can be modified at the first time.
Therefore, the fourteenth, the biggest instability, suffers from the geographical restrictions and becomes not the same thing, when the fourteen return to the palace, it will be a long time later, everything has become a foregone conclusion, your fourteen brothers can endure, can you withstand an emperor? The fourth elder who became the emperor is no longer the fourth elder of the year.
Moreover, although the Fourteenth Brother is a general, the person who can really work is Nian Tangyao, that is to say, Nian Tangyao is a tiger general, if the Fourteenth Brother comes back to Nian Tangyao to make trouble, it is really enough for Yongzheng to eat a pot, but Nian Tangyao will not follow the Fourteenth Brother, but will only follow the old Fourth Yongzheng well.
Why so sure? Nian Qianyao had a younger sister, the kind of sister who was Yongzheng's favorite concubine, and according to the records in the book, this concubine had a very high status around Yongzheng, second only to the empress.
Everyone knows that there are many TV dramas about Yongzheng, written about the love story of Yongzheng and those palace girls, among which The Concubine Hua is pointed out to be Nian Qianyao's sister, this should be a fabrication, there is not enough information to prove this matter.
What does this mean? Will Nian Qianyao beat his own brother-in-law? Obviously not. It seems that he is doing things in the hands of the fourteenth brother, and his heart is still toward Yongzheng. Absolutely not encouraged by the Fourteen Brothers to do things that should not be done.
In the later period, Nian Xiangyao was given death, which was also forced by Yongzheng, and it was even more Nian Xiangyao who died.
The two aspects mentioned above only stabilize part of it, not all of them. Some people will ask, why did the old eight who has not been very easy to do not do it do it? Rest assured, Lao Ba is also a good kung fu in words, his main force is in the south, representing the interests of the group of people in the south, similar to the fourteen, that group of people can not run to Beijing.
When it comes to the old eight, we have to say that our thirteenth brother of the hero king is the biggest guarantee for protecting Yongzheng through the dangerous period. It is recorded in the TV series that at that time, the old eight forced the palace, and it was also the last thirteen to come out to put things to rest, if there was no thirteen to break the siege again and again, yongzheng's throne would not be so stable.
Looking at all kinds of situations, Yongzheng really doesn't have to worry about this or that, that is, to be his own emperor, and there are people around him who can willingly protect themselves.
These are all external reasons, the most fundamental reason is still that era, the holy will of the former emperor Kangxi already had, that is, to the four brothers, people up and down the palace have agreed with this matter, the original old fourth suddenly became the emperor, Kangxi is gone, he is the person who is the highest, who does not listen to the emperor? Who would dare not listen to the emperor? It's more than obedience, it's just a promise.
This invisible resume under the pressure of the imperial power makes everyone unconsciously side with Yongzheng, which is the cruelty of the feudal era. Under the oppression, no one dared to put Yongzheng what to do, even if there was, it was only over the mouth, comfortable and finished at once, and really did not dare to do something more out of the ordinary.
Even the fourteen who came back from the war later only ran to his mother and said a few words loudly, and the others really couldn't do anything, and they were angry again at that time, and when they saw their eldest brother in the future, they could no longer call the fourth brother, they had to call the emperor, and they had to kneel. This is the helplessness of the feudal era, and no one can do anything about it.
Yongzheng was in this situation, starting his hard-working, conscientious career as an emperor, talking about love, busy with government affairs, and not even having much time to sleep...
