If you want to talk about which son of the Kangxi Emperor is the most sinister and cunning in the "Yongzheng Dynasty", perhaps many officials will think of the cruelty of the four brothers, think of the adultery of the eight brothers, and think of the poison of the big brother.
But if we look more closely, we will find that compared with these brothers, the FourteenTh Brother Yin yu is more sinister and vicious, but because it is too well disguised, it has not been easy to be detected.
On the surface, the Fourteenth Brother Yinyu was one of the members of the Eight Brothers Party, but in fact, from the very beginning, the FourteenTh Brothers had two hearts for the Eight Brothers, just as a cover for the Eight Brothers Party.
On weekdays, the Fourteenth Brother studied martial arts diligently, participated in the Art of War, and showed a reckless and unscrupulous image of a straight person who was not good at palace fighting, but secretly, the Fourteenth Brother studied the Imperial Heart Technique, and the cultivation was quite high.
Old Fourteen always hides in the shadows, generally does not exert force, and the force is a fierce move, which catches people off guard.
On the night of the first depose of the prince, the fourteenth brother forged a copy of the prince's oracle, and wrote the thirteenth brother Yinxiang in the oracle.
Judging from the design and content of this oracle alone, the fourteenth brother's fierceness surpassed that of the other brothers, and in his mind, there was no brotherly love to speak of, not only the prince who stood in the way had to be removed, but the innocent thirteenth brother could also be cannon fodder.
If the dispatch of troops is not discovered, then the prince and the thirteenth brother will be abolished.
But what if the oracle is seen as a horse's foot? It doesn't matter, Yin Yu engaged in conspiracy, never personally handled the knife himself, played the strategy of killing people with a knife to the extreme, and pulled the Eight Brothers into the water in the name of supporting the Eight Brothers.
In case of defeat, the first to bear the brunt will be the eighth elder, and the fourteenth brother is only an accessory at most.
A forged oracle summoned Ling Pu's army, directly confusing the situation that night, and even the wise And Divine Emperor Kangxi and the scheming Mr. Wu did not know what was happening outside.
The biggest danger is that you are in danger, but you don't know who your opponent is and what you can't do right.
Fortunately, the Kangxi Emperor came from the wind and waves, and he did not panic at all at all, and even gave three orders to control the situation.
First, wolf Qin's troops were stationed in the Bada Mountain Villa, replacing the original emperor's guard troops and being responsible for the palace guards.
Wolf Qin does not appear in the play, but in the book, the general, like Wei Dongting, is one of the kangxi emperor's most trusted generals, and at key moments, wolf qin, who is loyal to Kangxi, is more reliable than his sinister sons.
Second, he ordered the guards to call all their sons in the palace and put them under temporary house arrest.
The Kangxi Emperor understood that no matter how chaotic and why the outside world was chaotic, the cause of the chaos must be on those sons, and if they were controlled, the rebel army outside would be like a group of dragons and leaderless, and birds and beasts would scatter.
Third, the line of fire promoted the eldest brother, the third brother, the fourth brother, and the eighth brother as princes, so that several forces could balance each other and use the sons' ability to seize the concubine to resolve their own conspiracies.
The nine kings are independent of each other, and it is impossible for them to act together, let them supervise each other, and they will tie their hands and feet tightly to each other.
From here, it can be seen that Kangxi is a master.
At first, the prince and the thirteenth brother did not arrive, and the Kangxi Emperor was still a little worried, and by the time the prince sang "I will beat you with a steel whip in my hand" into the smoke wave to the Shuang Zhai, the overall situation was already decided.
The Fourteenth Brother and the Eighth Brother want chaos, and the Kangxi Emperor wants stability. Therefore, the Kangxi Emperor did not know who his opponent was, and he could quickly cut through the chaos and control the situation, so that the opponent could do nothing.
Then, Zhang Tingyu saw that the oracle was fake, and saw that the prince and the thirteenth brother were planted.
In the palace, the emperor drove away his sons, leaving only one Zhang Tingyu, reflecting the importance of Zhang Tingyu in the emperor's mind: the sons who were smoked by the desire for power were not as reliable as foreign ministers.
Under Zhang Tingyu's reminder, Kangxi looked at the oracle carefully again, and only then did he relax and realize that he had almost fallen into the trap of others.
Yes, the fourteenth brother this trap, at the beginning of the count of his emperor Amma also included, wanted his emperor Ama to personally get rid of the two sons, you say fourteen brothers are not poisonous?
The matter was urgent, and there was no way to investigate, but in the mind of the Kangxi Emperor, the eldest brothers, the three brothers, the four brothers, the eight brothers, and other people were suspicious, but they would not suspect the fourteen brothers, and even if they were suspicious, they would think that the fourteen brothers were under the command of the eight brothers and opened their eyes for the eight brothers.
Regardless of whether the hand of the dispatch of soldiers was recognized or not, the fourteenth brother was a winner, and the father constantly doubted and attacked the brothers, so that he had the opportunity to ascend to the throne himself.
Kangxi ordered Zhang Tingyu to ask the thirteenth brother, who replied that he did not know of the existence of the oracle.
At that moment, Brother Eight broke out in a cold sweat, and after glancing at Brother Fourteen, he quickly dodged away.
At that time, the Eighth Brother Yinqi also realized that the Fourteenth Brother had sinister intentions, and even he himself was put in.
At that time, the Kangxi Emperor had just learned from Tu Lichen that Yin Qi had seduced Xiao Guoxing, and he was very dissatisfied with Yin Qi's viciousness, so his first suspect in forging the edict of dispatching troops was Brother Eight, after all, in Kangxi's view, only Brother Eight had both a thief's heart and a thief's guts, and the ability to carry out this matter.
This was also one of the reasons why Kangxi Qiangang later made an arbitrary decision and did not allow his courtiers to recommend Brother Baba as the new crown prince.
The matter of dispatching troops and handings was finally resolved, and the fourteenth brother was able to continue to hide his mind, and only the eighth brother was aware of the ambition of the fourteenth brother, and in the later process of taking the concubine, he began to be wary of the fourteenth brother.
After this battle, the Eight Brothers have actually been excluded from the heir to the throne.
